BULLS EYE SHOTS.
——
I V» hile in the lobby of the Kim
ball house a fiw nightsago I was
pleased to see that Gallant old vet
eran and true democrat, General
Evans entered the.hotel. It was
but a moment until he was thecen
terofagroup of leading statu poli
ticians.
*•*
Now in the days of old I was
personally acquainted with the pa
trician faced old Soldier, but in the
s ladow of recent events I hardly
knew where L was “at” ia his wide
circle of friends—in fact didn’t
know I was “in it” at all—So I
asked my friend, Billy Wright, to
introduce me, and that my plan
might not miscarry, we slipped in
by the rear on the General.
* ♦
• *
The inanoever was unneccessary
for the moment we faced each oth
er the bighearted old hero put one
hand on my shoulder and the other
around—where a won 11 wears her
eorset the tightest, and with a face
beaming with good humor said
“why I know him of course I know
him and a good many times during
the recent campaign I have wanted
to go to Rome and get him out in
the woods and put his back on the
ground”
* *
*
“But, General,” I replied,
“though I didn’t know it at the
time, when Floyd acted and you
carried it by 164 votes, I then knew'
that I was “in the woods” and had
been there all the time.”
* *
*
Then we had a jolly chat in
which the General intimated that
while the fellow who undertakes
toke'ch my sort of a Byrd by put
ting salt on his (coat) tai’, would
fool himself, at the same time a
reasonable amount of salt might
be used judiciously on some of The
Hustler of Rome tales.
* *
*
He had many very pleasant
things to say about Rome and Ro
mans. and “Do you know,” Paid
lie “that when I was stationed at
Reme that 1 thought of and often
spoke of your river project?”
***
“You mean my advice to the
people of our city to place a line
of impediments across the mean
dering Etowah?” I asked modestly
“Impediments is go< d ’ laughed
the General —and then he talked
to Commissioner Wright and my
self for quite a little while about
“Damming the Etowah.” His
ideas as he expressed them were
full of gum, for he is a civil engin
eer of no mean fame and having
been over the ground he knew the
lay of the land, the flow of the wa
ter and the final result of the un
dertaking, when it has been com
pleted.
♦ *

General Evans says he is coming
to Rome soon and see what can be
done towards Damming the Eto
wah. By all moans let him come
to his own —fordidn the capture

THE HUSTLER OF ROME THURSDAY NOVEMBER I
MISS POLLARD
Wants a Play in Which she can do
all the Talking.
New York, November 1. —Made-
line Pollard would like to star iu
"Mist Jerry” with Alexander
Black, of this city, who is the in
ventor aud author of that deligut
ful little monologue.
Il has been widely reported that
Mist Pollard would go on the stage.
She has heard of “Miss Jerrv,’’
however, and aspired to take p»ri
in a play where she could do ah
the talking.
Major Poud, Mr. Black’s buai
Hess manager, received a call from
Miss Pollard at his office this
morning.
“1 have heard of a monologue
entitled ‘Miss Jerry,’ ” said Miss
Pollard, “which I believe was
written by Alexander Black, one
of Brookites clever newspaper
men. I have read many favorable
criticisms of the play aud as it is
s monologue, I think is just the
kind of dramatic production iu
which I could best display my
abilities as au elocutionist.
A number of pictures are thrown
upon the canvas,portraying the ad
ventures of the heroine, while Mr.
Black reads the lines. I should
think thatfduplicate pictures might
easily be .made, and then I might
take a territory which Mr. Black
not cure to cover.”
Major Poud replied: “Nomad
am ; I think that it is desirable to
have the inventor and author of
this picture play, read the lines
himself. I submit your offer to
him, however, and if he deems it
wise to assign you a different ter
ritory while he is filling dates
made in the Northeu States, well

CATARRHAL DYSPEPSIA.
A Discouraged Invalid Restored to
Health ano Hapless.
C of the stomach causes a’
condition known as dyspepsia or’
indigestion. It usually results
from ca’nrin in the throat, but
sometimes occurs in people who
have never had catarrh elsewhere.
The symptoms of dyspepsia are:
iiver complaint, billiousness, sour
stomach, water-brash, bloating af
ter eating, constipation, piles, and
iu many cases, low spirit dizzy
head, sympthetic lr a t palpitation
pain, indigestion, and looseness of
the bowels. Pe-ru-na aud Man-a
lm, taken according to directions
®6 the bottle, will cure every one.
The following is a specimen of the
letters received from patients:
O. S. McQuillan, Spring Hill,
lowa, “Four years ago
last fall my stomach, without any
previous warning, refused to per
form its functions, and I soon lost
strength. During this time food
was forced through my stomach b<
using cathartics. With flesh want
ed a*- j, strength x lausted so that
it took all nay energy to even go
into a bath tub, hopes all gone, 1
began to take Po-ru-na- an d Man

Dr, Hartman gave me. In a »hort
lime I could eat food,
ami the piles,kidney trouble and
constipation disappeaaed. F esh,
strength and a splendid appstite
returned and I went to work.”

EVERY GERMAN PORT
Prohibits The Landing of Ameri
can Cattle or Meet,
Berlin, Nor. I.—The prohibition
I against the landing of American I
| cattle and American dressed meat
announced by adecree of the Ham
burg Senate on S iturday last, was
‘xtvndod today t > every port in
Germany.
Interviews w ith the officials of
the Interior Department, of the
Prussian Husbandry Department
and the German Foreign Office
would seem to show that the pTo-i
hibition is of a pre ven lutiv.- na
ture and the action of individual
German States.
The Foreign Office officials, for
instance, state that the prohibi
tion is no affair of theirs, as the
mea uroi adopted are purely ad !
ministrative and sanitary, ai d
that they strictly belong to each
Guinan State. The empire, as
such, these official add, has not I
taken any steps to prohibit the
landing of American ca tie or
meat.
The officials of the Interior De
partment say, that the importation
of cattle from America, suffering j
from Texas fever has been clearly |
proved, and that the measures ta
ken are purely of a preventative |
nature, such as each German State
is entitled to exercise through its
police authority within its own
territory.
