Accidental Shooting.
• Andrew Dickson, Jr, a negro youth
about 18 years old, accidentally shot and
jjainfully wound 3d Annie Richardson,
a negro girl aboi it his age, Monday af
ternoon. The f .hooting took place at
the home of a negro named Bertie
Lynch. A pis tol, which the owner af
firmed to Die? tsou was unloaded, had
been left at L yuch’s. This pistol was
discharged b;y the boy as he and the
girl were ImudJiny; it playfully. The
ball entered the g irl's hip, inflicting a
painful but not m cessarily dangerous
flesh wound. Th e wounded g'irl is a
sister of Ella Rit hardsou, the young
woman whom J aek Devit shot aud
killed at the Can tival ball.
H. Clark, Cha uncey, Ga, says De

piles that had a iUicted him for twenty
years. It is also a speedy cure for si tin
disease. Be wan ! of dangerous counte r

Ex Secretary of War Alger thinks
Dewey’s head h is been turned by too
much praise. Doubtless Alger has
suffered in a cm itrary direction.

AS* ATTRACTIVE COSTUME.
collar band of lace and a wide point
ed belt of black pongee silk. Above
tbe belt is a very pretty latticework in
chenille, following the same lines as
the belt, while a similar garniture sur
rounds the lower part of the collar
baud. The sleeves tit the arms snugly
nud fall over the hands in a rounded
tab, adorned with lace applique. The
high draped belts are seen on most of
the best French models and show, as
lias been predicted, that we nrc drift
ing toward the empire style. The wide
celnture is always pretty with the
bolero bodice and Eton jacket.—Phila
delphia Ledger.
Stitched Celntnrc For Jnekets.
A pretty idea for the fancy jackets is
to have a belt of panne, silk or velvet
to match tbe trimming on tbe rovers.
The belt is narrow and straight or
shaped front and back like a corselet.
Ituckles of art nouveau are used to
fasten the narrow belts, and whether
wide or narrow many rows of stitching
ornament them. The Eton coats are
often finished by a hand of velvet or
satin which crosses in front and has
the effect of a belt, while in reality it is
a part of the jacket. A suit of gray
cheviot with collar and rovers finished
witli black velvet lias the bottom of the
jacket edged by a narrow stitched vel
vet band, the ends of which cross in
front and are secured by a buckle of
art nouveau in old silver and pale
green tints. The dark line at the waist
also serves to make the waist look
more slender and takes away from the
ungraceful ‘•bobtailed” abruptness of
ttio straight cut Eton. Another Eton
coat of gray cloth is finished by a band
of lilac panne which describes a wee
point in the back and two points in the
front, 'l'lie revers are treated with
stitched panne of the same color.
A Illue Cloth Costume.
The costume represented is of fine
hussar blue cloth. The corsage is made
with a short cape round the shoulders.

it is trimmed with braces formed of
four rows of narrow black velvet meet

and trimmed down the front with vel

“I consider One Minute Cough Cure a
most wonderful medicine, quick and
safe.” It is the only harmless remedy
that gives immediate results. It cures
cough, colds, croup, bronchitis, grippe
whooping cough, pneumonia and throat
and lung diseases. Its early use pre
vents consumption. Children always

Kx-(.ov. Th> lor on Osteopathy.
In part Governor Taylor said:
‘•I have seen Osteopathy put into
practice. I have seen its effects and
iiese effects have surprised me. 1 am
sure that it is doing wonderful work
"or good and for the amelioration of
Human suffering.”
••I have seen Ur. Andrew Taylor
Still, and I am very much impressed
with him. I regard him as a great
nan. I have seen the institution at
Kirksville: it is one of his monuments.
Most great men never live to see their
nonuments. tint he has lived to see his.
1 wish continued prosperity for Oste
opathy.”
Coming, as this does, from the
South's most popular son, means much
:o Osteopathy.
\V. II. Shipman, Beardsley, Minn.,
under oath, says he suffered from dys
pepsia for twenty five years. Doctors
md dieting gave but little relief.
Finally he used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and now eats what he likes and as
much as he wants, and he feels like a
new man. It digests what you eat.
