SHOT DOWN.
Wounded Cubans Forced From a
Burning Building.
Key West, Fla., May 22. —A-
nother Cuban hospital horror is re
ported from the southern part of
Santa Clara province. The hos
pital consisted of three buildings
near the town of Micacarauga
There were about thirty-five woun
ded insurgents in the buildings, at
tended by four physicians and sev
eral women nurses. The Spanish
guerrillas came upon the place at
the dead of night and without
warning set the place on fire. The
physicians and convalescent men
about the place rushed to the
doorsand windows to save the
more severely injured of the in
mates. The guerriPas fired on
em, killing the insurgents, and
then as the wounded insurgents
staggered or crept to the doors and
windows they were ruthlessly shot
down. The women nurses were
all saved from instant death, but
no trace has been found of them
since.
A courier brought the news to
Santa Clara, from whence it reach
ed the Havana junta. It is said
that the scene was one of the ut
most horror.
“There’s no use in talking,”says
W. H. Broadwell, druggist, La
Cygne, Kas,, “Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
does the work. After taking med
icines of my own preparation and
those of others, I took a dose of
Chamberlain’s and it helped me; a
second dose cured me. Candidly
and conscientiously I can recom
mend it as the best thing on the
market.” The 25 and 50 cent
sizes for sale by H. 11. Arrington.
Not a Canard.
The story Boating around town
and made much of in the last issue
of our esteemed contemporary to
the effect that wo were mobbed
over at Grass Valley the other
night, is not a canard. We were at
Grass Valley, and if being egged
and shot at and chased for four
miles signifies mobbing then we
were mobbed. We were invited to
go over there and deliver our cele
brated lecture on : “Man His Per
fections and Imperfections.” Os
the 400 men at Grass Valley we
don’t believe there are three per
fect ones. There are more knock
kneed, squint-eyed, hump-backed
critters to the square foot in that
town than anywhere else in Ameri
ca, and we had the sand to say so
when we reached the “Imperfec
tions” in our lecture. Others lect
urers, would have lied about it and
tickled those slab sided kyotes half
to death, but we gave em facts and
came near losing our life in conse
quence ; 14 eggs hit us in chorus
before our wheels began to revolve,
and it seemed as if every man in
town had a shot at us as we were
.climbing into the saddle. How
many mounted and followed after
we cannot guess, but our mule
realized the situation and made no
jumps of less than 14 feet. No, it
is no canard. We were mobbed
and driven out, and we shan’t vis
it that town again until we are
tired of life and ready to hang.—

induced to try Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy by reading what it

Once upon a time a minister
told a story like this: “On one oc
casion I preached to a congrega
tion where there were 57 women
and 4 men present. This was at
prayer meeting. On another oc-
I casion I preached to 856 men 'and
• 3 women—this was at the state
penitentiary”
TO CUT PROCUCTION.
Movement Among Leading New
England Concerns to Cnitail
Their Output.
Boston, May 26.—A movement
which is expected to develop into
a more or less curtailment of the
production cf New England cotton
mills will be inaugurated next
month by the mills of the Dwight
Manufacturing company, at Chico
pee, Mass.; the Lyman company,
Holyoke, Mass., and the Great Falls
Manufacturing company at Som
mesworth, N. H.
The officials of these mills give
as reasons for this step, the present
unsatisfactory state of the cotton
goods market. All the mills in
question are engaged in the manu
facture of sheeting, shirting and
drills, are capitalized in the aggre
gate of $4,170,01 0 and operate
320.000 spindles and about 90,000
looms.
The entailment will probably
last during june, July and Au
gust.
A Valuable Prescription .

valuable prescription in Electric

and felt tired and weary, but six
bottles of Electric Bitters restored
her to health and renewed her
her strength. Prices 50c and sl.

tions received during the three
months that this contest lasts, and
5 per cent additional will be even

ago. Both of the twins lived and
are now in Cartersville, Loth of
them giving about four gallons of
milk per day.

CROPS IN TEXAS.
Enormous Yields of Grain Repor
ted There.
Dallas, May 26.—Nothing but
glorious reports are received con
cerning the crops of every portion
of Texas.
It is claimed that a great many
fields in this and other countries
will make one hundred bushels of
oats to the acre, forty and fifty
bushels of wheat and fifty 7 to sixty
bushels of corn.
In those divisions of western and
north-western Toxas, outside the
Agricultural belt and mostly devo
ted to grazing, there are the finest
prospects in thirty years.
Not a great deal was planted in
grain, but what was is showing an
astonishing yield. The harvesting
of wheat and oats has comenced
and farm hands are in brisk de
mand at $1 per day. The task of
havesting the crop is herculean and
barn and crib room far less than the
demand.
These fine crop prospects have
renewed hope and confidence
throughout Texas. Men in busi
ness believe the turning point lias
been reached after six years of ad
versity, depression and misfor
tune.
Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of
the Burton House, Burton, W. V.,
and one of the most widely known
men in the state was cured of rheu
matism after three years of suffer
ing. He says: “I have not suffi
cient command of language to con
vey any idea of what I suffered, my
physicians told me that nothing
could be done for me and my friends
were fully convinced that nothing
but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evt-im,
then salesman for the Wheeling
Drug Co., recommended Chamber
lain’s Pain Balm. At this limo
foot and limb were swollen to more
than double their normal size and
it seemed to me my leg would
burst, but soon after I began us
ing the Pain Balm the swelling be
gan to decrease, the pain to leave,
and now I consider that I am en
tirely cured. For sale by IL IL
