galley shooting at the white
men who passed .
hiring was heard in Liberia,
the negro quarter of the city,
which is not far from Walnut
street, and a squad of provost
guards went to investigate. As
it turned the corner of Fifteenth
and Pine streets a large crowd
of negro soldiers, without warn
ing, opened fire upon the guard
with Springfields, the gun in
use in the negiment.
The guard returned the fire,
but had few cartridges, and
soon had te retreat. Re-enforce

Two members of the provost
guard are missing and cannot

When news of the trouble be

with a Springfield which had just
been fired, were arrested in various

citizens were prevented from
wreaking summary vengeance up
on them.
Arniori sos the local military
companies were broken into and

General Frank, "bo is in com
mand of thejioops hire, came out

Recent events showed that a

but in ordinary life, more lives <
are lost by a heedless disregard ,
jof the beginnings of poor health i
J than by all other causes com
bined.
Dyspepsia or nervousness is
absolutely inexcusable now.
There is no more reason for a
man or woman eating with poor
appetite or sleeping poorly or
suffering continually from neu
ralgia or rheumatism today than
there is of his or her going with
out the necessities of life.
Every candid person who lias
dragged along, under the de
pressing (fleets of nerve and
brain exhaustion, needs to take
to heart the words of such un
biased persons as Senator Tabor,
