Additional Locals \ Their Little Son Dead. 0 The people of the city and count; deeply sympathize with Mr. and Mrs J. Allen Smith, Jr., in the death o their little four year old son, Allen which occurred yesterday afternooi at 5 o'clock. The little fellow ha< been desperately sick for severa days with dysentery, but it wa * hoped that his young life might bi spared. A Clean City. b Officer Thomas H. Botts, who ha: been assigned by the Board o Health to the duties of inspecto: during the last five yearss, has jus completed his inspection for th< present year, and has made his re port to the Board. In his repor he states that the city has been thor oughly cleaned up, all trash and rub bish being constantly assembled an< carted off by the city wagons, an< that the conditions are better thai they have been in years. Mr. Bott is a capable officer, and, on accoun of the previous inspections made b: him, is in position to know what h< is talking about. The report is gratifying to th< Board of Health, and should be gooc news to the citizens of the city. Foi some cause we had considerable ty phoid last year. The condition o; the city at present shows that th< people o# the city as well as th< members of the Board of Health art alive to the situation, and that a: far as they are able the city will b( guarded against a recurrence oi this malady. Party Postponed. The ball which was to have beer fcgiven by Col. Dick Sondley and Col Pat Roche, at the home of the for mer, on last Wednesday night die not come off. Col. Roche went oul to his farm Wednesday morning tc "collar" some of the cut worms which have been cutting down sc much of his cotton lately. H< catViPrprl nn a bucketful of th( worms and carried them to the hous< with the intention of destroying them. About the time he reachec headquarters the big rain came up and while he was watching the clouds the cut worms got out and ate om of the tails off his claw-hammei coat. Not caring to appear in anything short of the wedding garment the ball had to be called off, includ ing the ice cream prelude. Speaking of preludes, Mrs. Sondley gave Dick a prelude to her leav ' ing which contributed to putting ofl ^-'the party "as a proximate caus< thereof." ? Married. Mr. M. B.

It conn-i dently expects, therefore, that the imperial German government will disavow the acts of which the government of the United States complains, that they will make reparation so far as reparation is possible, for injuries which are without measure, and that they will take imme- I diate steps to prevent the recurrence _ Df anything so obviously subversive sf the principles of warfare for which the imperial German government have in the past so wisely and so firmly contended. Look for Just Action. "The government and people of the United States look to the imperial German government for just, * prompt ana enngntenea action in this vital matter with the greater e confidence because the United States j, and Germany are bound together b. not only by special ties of friendship but also by the explicit stipulations of the treaty of 1828 between the United States and the kingdom of Prussia. "Expressions of regret and offers of reparation in case of the destruc- | tion of neutral ships sunk by mis- t take, while they may satisfy inter- j, national obligations, if no loss of 11 life results, can not justify or excuse ^ a practice, the natural a;nd necessary effect of which is to subject neutral p nations and neutral persons to new ^ and immeasurable risks. j "The imperial German government will not expect the government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary 10 tne peaonn- -j ance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States ( and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment. ^ "Bryan." * The Red Cross Car.

I do not refer to this for i the purpose of calling the attention of the imperial German government at this time to the surprising irreg ? larity of a communication from the imperial German embassy at Washington addressed to the people of the United States through the news- 4 papers, but only for the vuinofe of 4 pointing out that no warning that an ? unlawful and inhumane act will be < committed can possibly be nerepteu < as an excuse or palliation for that < act or as an abatement of the re- < sponsibility for its commission. < Exceeded Their Or.lo**i. < "Long acquainted as this govern- < ment has been with the character of < the imperial (Jerman go*'^rnmerit < and with the high principles " f1A equity with which they have in the ' ^ Dast been actuated and guided, the ^ government of the United States can 1 not believe that the commanders of the vessels which committed the^ej acts of lawlessness did so except under a misapprehension of the orders issued by the imperial German naval authorities.

With Calomel I It is generally agreed by experts in this country and Europe that ca- ( lomel has a very violent effect on ] , the system. This accounts for the ' familiar disagreeable feeling accom- ; j panying a dose, and the weakened condition following it. j Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vegeta- i ble compound, that is a mild, but ef- , ! fective substitute for calomel. It ] Uoe. oil offo^fiveness. but not the 1 I ' ? ( ' effect, of calomel. Its splendid val- ( ! ue has brought it into such wide use that in some states it has almost entirely replaced calomel. Just try Liv-Ver-Lax once, and | you'll never use calomel again. Insist on the genuine, bearing the likeness and signature of L. K. Grigsby, which is guaranteed to give satisfac' tion or money refunded.
