BRITISH
WARSHIPS.
Are Being Sent To Amer
ican Waters.
VESSELS DF LIGHT DRAFT.
And Could Easily Enter A
merican Ports In Case of
War.
Washington, Aug 17, —Not on
ly,is England sending great quan
tities of arms and ammunition to
the Canadian citadels in Quebec,
but her North American squadr >n
is being strengthened by the addi
tion of new vessels, which make
the fleet far more formidable than
ever before.
The station covers a largo ex
pense of water, extending .from
Halifax on the north to the South
American coast. Battleships are
not unusally sent to this station,
but either Great has no
use for all of them elsewhere, or
believes the importance of the sta
tion requires the presence of one
on this side of the Atlantic.
Some signfiicauce might have
been attached to this contemplated
’ action of the British during the
excitement over the Venezuelan
boundary question and no doubt
some reason for it wouid have
been asked, but now when there is
no greater question than that re
lating to the seals pending between
the two governments, it rs not an
ticipated that what might be re
garded by other governments as a
menacing preparation will cause
any concern in the United States.
The only significant point in the
program is the fact that the bat
tleships and the cruisers are all of
light draught andcmild readily en
ter almost any of the Atlantic sea
board ports. But even this fact is
explained by experts who say that
the tendency in late years has been
to reduce the draught of war ves
sels, and that all -of England’s 'la
test ships are of lighter draught
than those of years ago.
Th'e new ships will comprise the
first class battleship Renown, cf
14,500 tons displacement, and the
cruisers Indefatigable, Intrepid
and Pallas, the armored cruiser
Talbot and two fast torpedo-boat
destroyers. The Talbot is one of
England’s finest cruisers, not un
like our Olympia, and almost as
Beet and powerful. The Indefati-’
gable and Intrepid are of about the •
same class as the Cincinnati!, of
20 knots speed and about 8,000;
horse power. The torpedo boats
are of the latest type. These ves
sels will leave for the new station
soon, and with the present Beet,
will give England the strongest
aggregation Os fighters she has
yet maintained on her North
American and West India Sta
tion.

Something to Depend on.
Mr. Jarnos Jones, of the drug
firm of Jones <Sr Son, Cowden 111,
in speaking of Dr. King's New Dis
covery, says that last winter his
wife was attacked with La Grippe
and her case grew so serious that
physicians at Dowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seem
ed to develop into Hasty Consum
tion. Having Dr. King's New Dis
covery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took a bottle heme, and to
the surprise of all she began to
get better from first dose, and half
dozen dollars bottles cured her
sound and well. Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free

That is He Has Been Granted a
Respite.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17. —H. S.
Perry, sentenced to hang tomorrow
for the murder of Bely Lanier, a
young theological student who
boarded at his house, and whom he
accused of attempting to assault
his wife, was today given resspite
by Governor Atkinson Sep

idence tending to sustain Perry’s
charge against the man he kill

Hints To Teachers.
One cannot be surprised at the
slow progress, of education in cer
tain parts of Arkansas, where a
visitor to that state recently heard
a rural school teacher say to his
pupils:
“Come, come, young tins, can’t
you set up a little more erecter?”
And when a tardy pupil came
in and loft the door slightly ajar
the teacher said sharply:
“You go back and shev * that
there door shotl” after which he
said apologetically to the visitor:
“I try to learn ’em manners,
hut’s denied uphill work.”—Har

Wanted —Everybody to go to
his druggist and get a bottle of Dr.
Tichenor’s Antiseptic, the most
wonderful healing compound of
the nineteenth century. Money

tion after fair trial. Heals Wounds,

STRUCK IT RICH.
The Graves Brother Get $40,-
000 For One Day’s Work.
Redding, Cal., Aug. 12.—C. B.
Gravesand his brother arrived
here today with two bags of gold
containing twenty thousand dol
lars which represents about ouo
half of their big pocket strike on
the Coffe Creek gravel mine on
last Thursday. They don’t know
yet exactly the value of the gold
cleaned up from the pocket. It
weighed 163 pounds avoirdupois,
but they had nothing but an old
bucket and steelyard to weigh it
with. They think they must have
forty thousand dollars as the re
sult of their one day’s labor, and
they are willing to size that up
with the Klondike stories. The
largest piece was worth about SB,-
000, but it soon crumbled to pie
-1 ces when removed.
The rich find was struck in a
ledge at a depth of twenty-five
feet The claims in the Coffee
Creek region have been showing
for months past,
and this find of the Graves broth
ers only adds confirmation to the
neral faith in the permanent
richness of the mines.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
A Piece Os Falling Glass
Strikes Professor King
On The Head.
Prof. P. J. King met with a very
painful accident at Mark Taylor’s
barber shop late yesterday after
noon.
He went into the shop to gee a
hair cut and took a seat in one of
the chairs directly under a sky
light.
While the barber, Tom Ripley,
was engaged in cutting his hair, a
brick fell from the wall of the new
Chamlee building and crashed
through the glass.
Several pieces of the glass struck
Prof. King on the top and the
back of the head cutting two ugly
gashes.
Dr. R. M. Hardin was summon
ed who shortly arrived and sewed
up the wounds.
Prof. King showed considerable
nerve while the doctor was work
ing on his head. He conversed in
a jovial manner to those who stood
around him as if nothing had hap
pened.
Dr. Harbin says the skull was
not fractured and.that the flesh
wounds were the only injuries
sustained.
The many friends of Prof. King
regret his accident, and are glad
that his injuries are not as bad as
they might have been.
“Let me give you a pointer,”
said . F. Gregg, a popular con
ductor on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. “Do you know the
Chamberlain’s Colic Cho'era and
Diarrhoea Remedy cures you
when you have the stomach ache?
Well, it dees.” And after giving
this friendly bit of advice, the jol
ly conductor passed on down the
aisle. It is a fact that thousands
of railroad and travelling men
never take a trip without a bottle
of this Remedy, which is the best
cuie for bowel disorder in the
world. 25 and 50 cent bottles for

It’s your own fault if you use
old fashioned greasy salves and
liniment that soil your clothing
and offend your olfactories when
you can get that very pleasant
and stainless liquid. Dr. Tiche

burns, etc, quicker and with less
suffering than anything.

NOT THE MAN. '
At Least that is What Miss Jones
Says.
Will Phillips is not the man who
assaulted Miss Jones, at Rock
Springs nearly two years ago.
Last Wednesday Miss Jones went
to LaFayette, where court was in
session and where Phillips was
hdld in jail, for the purpose of i
dentifying him if he was the guil
ty man. At a glance she exclaim
ed : “No, that’s not the right man.”
The relatives of the Jones girl
asked that the prisoner be released,
but the official refused to let him
go, remarking that he had received
a telegram from the sheriff of
Whitfield county, Georgia, to hold
him, as he was wanted there, but
on what charge Sheriff Sims re
fused to say.

GIGANTIC FRAUD.
That Is Concealed In The Pen"
sion Rolls.
New YORK, Aug. 11.—The Sun in
an editorial this morning bunches some
pension facts in away that makes a sen
sation, as the inference drawn is that
a great proportion of pensioners are
unworthy of Government bounty and
the that list should be cut down.
From figures recently published,Ah c
Sun shows that at the present rate of
expenditure the ann*ual pension list has
been consuming more than nine-tenths
of the revenue taken in at all of the
customhouses of the United States: or,
again, if the custom duties are consid
ered as paying the general expenses of
the Government, the pensions have
been using up not less than 9(i percent
Os the total receipts from internal rev
enue.
Thirty-two years after the end of the
civil war the number of pensioners, on
account of that war, exceeds by about
a quarter of a million the number of
soldiers actually engaged in service in
all the armies of the Government at
any time between the firing upon Sum
ter and the surrender of Lee at Appo
mattox.
The army of pensioners, after a third
of a century, is between 30 and 40 per
cent larger than the lighting army at
any one time during the war. We have
already paid in pensions since the war
two billion dollars, or • two-thirds as
much as it cost the Government to car
ry on the war.
A Remarkable Cure of
Chronic Diarrhoea,
In 1862, when I served my coun
try as a private in Company A,
16th Pennsylvania Volunteers I
contracted chronic diarrhoea. It
has given me a great deal of troub
le ever since. I have tried a dozen
different medicines and several
prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a
friend sent me a sample'bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and after
that I bought and took a 50-cent
bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be
thankful enough to you for this
great Remedy, and recommend it
to all suffering veterans. If in
doubt write me. Yours gratefully,
