COBB COUNTY’S ELECTION
FIGHT IN COURT.
Mandamun Will Be Heard In Fulton
Superior Court To-ilay.
Atlanta, Nov. B.—A mandamus In
volving the recent elections In Cobb
county will be heard to-morrow morn
ing in the Fulton Superior Court be
fore Judge J. H. Lumpkin. The alle
gations are sensational, and follow the
most bitter political tight ever waged
in Cobb county.
J. Gid. Morris, uncle of Speaker N.
A. Morris, charges that the managers
at the polls in Cobb county and the
superintendents failed to consolidate
his vote and forward it to the execu
tive department as required.
Morris alleges that he was legally
elected treasurer of Cobb county, in
stead of J. R. Glover, the Incumbent.
He alleges that the election managers
not only ignored him, but that Glover
was also a candidate for the office of
clerk of the Superior Court, and that
the election superintendents counted
all his votes as though they had been
cast for him as county treasurer, as
•well as for county clerk. Besides Glo
ver, there are about twenty other de
fendants in the case.

POINT WILL ATTEND.
Conference Culled by Mayor Howell
on Rate Hnestlon.
Atlanta, Nov. B.—President Charles
A. Wickersham of the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad Is the first to re
ply to the letter of Mayor Evan P.
Howell, stating that a committee of
seven citizens has been appointed to
confer with the railroad authorities
with regard to securing freight rates
for Atlanta.
President Wickersham says In part:
"Beg to advise that It will afford us
pleasure to be represented at such a
meeting when same may be called, and
I will endeavor to personally attend
or be authoritatively represented.”
This would seem to indicate that the
railroads have decided to grant a con
ference on the subject despite the fact
that the commission was practically
dictated by the Atlanta Freight Bu
reau.

A CHE EVICTION.
Strenuous Start of the Open Season
for Landlords In Ireland.
Cork Cor. London Times.
The Sheriff, accompanied by a start
of bailiffs, and protected by a large
force of police, visited Watergrasshill
to-day to evict Edward Murphy from
his 100-acre holding on the Fell estate.
Ihe dwelling was strongly barricaded.
The furniture had been removed, and
the rooms were Ailed with unwleldly
articles. The house was garrisoned by
thirty stalwart men, provided with a
large variety of offensive weapons, and
fully prepared to make a prolonged re
sistance. When the evicting party ap
peared on the scene it Was greeted with
*>y a large crowd. When
•he bailiffs began to force an entrance
they were assailed by a volley of bricks
and stones from the upper room win
dows. A little later the attack was re
newed. when boiling water was poured
upon them, and as it became evident
that they could not work upon the door
at close quarters messengers were
were dispatched to Cork for a batter
iii£ ram and additional policemen. In
the afternoon, when police re-enforce
ments were driving to the scene from
( ork. Queenstown and Middleton, they
round their progress blocked at a
bridge three miles from Murphy's farm.
Whitethorn trees had been firmly pack
ed between the parapets of the bridge
in such a manner that their removal
occupied nearly an hour, while a large
jeering crowd on the other side mock
ed their efforts.
On arriving at the scene the police
w’ere obliged to make a detour in or- i
tier to reach the farmhouse without be
ing stoned by the crowd which had
possession of the farmyard. The aug
mented police force Immediately pro
ceeded to clear the people out of the
farm yard, but the people formed a
square, and. armed with stout sticks,
successfully restated for a time all ef
forts to dislodge them. It was only
when the constabulary used the stocks
of their rifles that the* were able to
break the square formed by the peas
antry, and eventually to rout them.
While the confusion was at Us hlght
several women endeavored to get a
supply of bread through the windows
to the defenders, but they were pre
vented. Meesre. Crean. M. P., and
Sheehan, M. P.. who arrived In the
afternoon, and were encouraging rs
sletancc, wers forcibly ejected. Dur
ing the entire day the bailiffs contin
ued their efforts to obtain an entrance.
At 4 o'clock the bailiffs succeeded In
forcing and removing one of the doors,
only to find their progress barred by
an Iron gate, behind which the defend
ers stood. THs constabulary were or
dered to draw their swords with a
view to driving them back and so give
th* bailiffs free play to proceed with
'heir work si destruction The police
obeyed the order, hut the defenders
drove them mck by thrusting red hot
■are through Use gate. Darkness set
in without much progress having been
made, and operations were suspended
until to-morrow. A number of police
were more or less seriously Injured by
blows from bottles, bricks, and during
the hand-to-hand encounters with the
people.
REMARKABLE REVENGE
Taken l>y Pnrls I,over. Who Drugged
Girl anil Shaved Her Head.
From the Paris Cor. London Globe.
A jilted lover named Leonard Du
crux has just adopted an extremely
cruel method of avenging himself on
the sweetheart who refused to listen to
his proposal. The young lady’s name
is Leonie Rousselle, and when she
“gave the mitten" to her admirer the
latter, though appearing greatly de
pressed by the failure of the suit, went
away as though he was going to take
his dismissal In a manly way. This,
however, was not his intention, for he
informed one of his friends that the
matter was not done with. He patient
ly bided his time until yesterday, hav
ing meantime thought out his diaboli
cal plan. Then he posted himself in
a street in the Latin Quarter along
which he knew Mile. Rousselle would
have to pass. When she appeared he
walked up to her as though the meet
ing had been a chance one, and smil
ingly asked her if she would, for old
acquaintance sake, take luncheon with
him.
Thinking the invitation was really
given in a friendly spirit the girl ac
cepted, and soon the two were seated
tete-a-tete in a private dining room
in a restaurant on the Boulevard Saint
Michel. The menu was good, and was
washed down with some excellent wine,
but Mile. Rousselle did not notice
that Just as the meal ended her com
panion emptied the contents of 'a paper
In her glass. She drank up the wine,
and a few minutes later found a
drowsy feeling creep over her, and then
she went right off to sleep. What
wtss her horror when she was awaken
ed, with difficulty, an hour later by
the waiter, to find that her head, which
had been covered by a beautiful crop
of fair hair, was entirely bald.
The bitter-hearted one-time lover had
avenged himself by drugging her and
completely slfavlng her head. Then,
without raising any suspicion on the
part of the restaurant people, he had
slipped downstairs, paid the bill, said
his companion would descend in a
moment or two, and disappeared. The
disconsolate girl, her eyes dim with
tears, persffaded the restaurant pro
prietor to send to a hairdresser's for
a wig, with which temporary covering
she is now seeking, aided by the police,
the whereabouts of her vengeful form
er suitor.
AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.
A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number of hearty, vigorous old men
at the tables; men whose ages run
from sixty to eighty years; many of
them bald and all perhaps gray, but
none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless It is an
object lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating, you will ob
serve that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their
way through a menu card of new
fancied health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer a juicy roast of
beef, a properly turned loin of mut
ton, and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether Ignored.
The point of all this Is that a vig
orous old age depends upon good di
gestion and plenty of wholesome food
and not upon dieting and an endeavor
to live upon bran crackers.
Thsre Is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat,
coffee and many other good things
are rank poison, but these cadaverous
sickly looking individuals are a walk
ing condemnation of their own theo-
ries.
The matter in a nutshell is that if
the stomach secretes the natural di
gestive Juices In sufficient quantity,
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; if the stomach does not do
so, and certain foods cause distress,
one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal will remove
all difficulty, because they supply just
what every w-enk stomach lacks, pep
sin, hydro-chloric acid, diastase and
nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels, and In fact are
not strictly a medicine, as they act
almost entirely upon the food eaten,
digesting It thoroughly and thus giv
ing the stomach a much needed rest
und an appetite tor the next meal.
Of people who travel, nine out of
ten use Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets,
knowing them to he perfectly safe to
use at any time and also having found
out by experience that they are a
safeguard against Indigestion In any
form, and eating as they have to, at
ail hours and all kinds of food, the
1 traveling public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart’s Tablets.
All druggists sell them at BO cents
for full-sised packages and any drug
gist from Maine to California. If his
opinion were asked, will iaj* that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets It Lie most
popular and successful remedy for
any stomach trouble.
