Kxtra Heavy Dose Recommended
by Spooner's Physician.
Saturday Evening Post.
In tho United States Senate,
when a member is conducting the
discussion of some bill which attracts
much attention, ho is called
upon to reply to all sorts of
searching criticisms. To get a
contested measure through retjuiies
strength of purpose, niaihie
wit and complete kuowledge
of the subject. The ordeal also
levies upon the physical strength
of the man in charge of the measure.
1 One day during a big debate in
the recent session, Senator Spooner,
who was in charge, did not
teel so well us usual, and forthwith
consulted a physician, a man
who is a close student of public
affairs.
"There is nothing serious the
I matter with you," said the tnedi*
jiCal man; "you have heen on a
i: strain; that's all. I'll give you
j some pills which you will find to
be an excellent tonic. Take
them in the morning just before
going to the Sonate!"
"How ninuy shall I take!1'
"That depeuds upon circumstances,"
replied the physician.
1 "Let's see, who is slated to ciiti
ciso your 0111 tomorrow?"
The Senator fyom Wisconsin
mentioned the name of a colleague
known as a strong and resourceful
debater.
"Take three pills," said the
physician.
"Who's to 1)0 your opponent
the next day?" 1
The name of a Senator not('
quite so formidable us the ^lirst <
was given. *
"Two pills," said the doctor. >
"And w\io's the man you meet in '
debate the following day?" !
The name was given. :
'^One pill will do. And who is '
down to assail your bill and ask I
you questions on the fourth i
day?" i
Senator Spooner named a Sena- '
tor who evidently had not impres i
sed the physician. t
"You may omit the mil entire
ly that day." 1
The Senator laughed. 4'Next t
week I am to have Till/nan of i
South Carolina on my hands," he
volunteered. t
"(^n that day take four pills 1
before going to the capitol and i
one every half hour during the
rest of the day." i

On Tho Way to Lynch One No.,

Hloodlctting At Danville.
Danville, III , July 25.?This
city is in the throes of u l uce war.
One negro, an unknown man
from Kvunsvillo, Inil., who tonight
shot ami killed llenry Gatterman,
white, has alreday been
lynched hy a moh of (500 men,
who weie later lired upon hy the
sherill, three being wounded. The
mob was clamoring for tho life of
another negro named dames Wilson,
who has confessed to a brutal
assault on the wife of a farmer
at Alvon, 111., just north of
here.
The unknown negro met his
fute while the mob was on the
way to lynch Wilson. The angry
throng was passing downcast
Main street when the negro became
involved in an altercation
wjth some of its members. They
started after hi 11 and he pulled a
gun, firing into the crowd.
Ilenry Guttorman, a young
butcher- who has recently returned
from Fort Monroe, fell mortally
wounded and expired in a
few seconds. The negro turned
and lied, but was caught by the
officers within a block of the scene
of the tragedy and hurried to the
police station with the mob in hot
pursuit, temporarily diverted from
their march to the county jail.
The officers with their prisoner
100k refuge in the city building,
barricading themselves behind the
door of one of tno ollices. Thev
could not check the mob, however,
for lifter securing battering
rams it took them only about half
in hour to wreck the city prison, '
the negro being found hid in a "
safe. He .was pulled from the
safe, struck with sledges, knocked
lown, jumped upon and stamped
o death. A rope was placed
ibout his neck and Ins lifeless holy
was dragged about three '
docks. An elfort was made im?
ncdiately to hang the body to a '
elegraph pole but the rope broke. 1
Hie mob, which by this . time !
lumbered 5,000, thou dragged 1
he body to the jail and burned (
t. I
Then they charged the jail, and '
he sheriff and deputies tired, '
.vounding several members of the 1
nob, some fatally. '
The mob repulsed, sent to a
leighboring mining camp for dylamite
and probably will ^attack '
he jail again. l'he mob is infurated
and threatens to lynch the I
iheritr and his deputies, also ?he
legro turnkey in the jail.

No one is allowed within a block

Two persons were killed in last
night's riots ami twenty-two
wounded.
\Vill it Stop Lynching?
I
The Stuto reports that Attorney
General Gunter h:-s hit upon
a plan which, it' it does not prevent
lynchings, he believes will
go a long ways toward lessening
them. lie calls attention to the
fact that since the untiduelling
law was passed in the State in 1
1882, the crime has been virtually
wiped otf the statute l> inks This
law, which reads as follows, has
been of the greatest possible bene
lit to the State:
"No property <pi di'ieution, unless
prescribed in this constitution,
shall be necessary for an
election to 01 holding of any ollice.
No person shall lie electe I
or appointed to olliee in this State
for life or during good behavior,
tint the terms of all officers shall
be for some specified period, notaries
public and otlieers in the
idiiitiu. After the adoption of
this constitution any p;tmiii who
shall light a due! t r send or accept
a challenge for that purpose, Ik?
he aw aider a abettor in tij: 1?tnin
a duel, shall bo deprived of holding
any olliee of honor or trust in
this stale, and shall i>e otherwise i
punished as the law shall pros (
cribe." i

"Phut Law," said Mr. (iuntcr
yesterday, "has slopped duelling. 1
nui a similar law might be passed '
which, I believe, would go a long
way toward stopping lynching*.
If a man knows that lie is going 1
to l)o absolutely debarred from

that he should run for olliee, it

The law might be made even '

"How would a law like this be '
made operative? bv legislative !

"No. In some States that |
would be possible, but here in :
South Carolina it wonid have to '<
be a constitutional enactment. 1
That is, the legislature would
have to pass a joint resolution and
then the matter would go before
tho people to he voted on at the
regular elections. Then it would
have to go before the legislature
for consideration again. 1 am absolutely
confident that if such a

The New Comet
It Will Pass Between the ttarth
and 1 lit Sun on August 21st.
New Haven, July *21.?Twont
y eight millions of miles away,
traveling twenty-Jive miles a see*
oud, Borelli's comet is attracting
more attention than any comet that
has appeared in years.
A three hour exposure with a
e unera enable 1 Mason Smith, as-,
sistant at the Vale Observatory,
to secure a line picture of tho now
c nnet. So rapid is iho motion of
the comet that the camera following
it was obliged to move fnste
limn I he stars, so the photographic
plate appears with starry trails
across its face. The now comet
has two tails, which, while not
showing plainly in the photograph
are distinctly visible to the naked
eye t r through a small opera
glass.
The new comet's nucleus is
100,000 miles in diameter, while
the tails appear to lie between two
md three million miles long. They
nay he much longer as the astronomers
are tiuahle to tell at jnst
what angle we observe them. The
lew comet will continue to in?
;rease in hnlliancy, hut will probably
he no more distinctly visible,
for from now until Aug. '21
t will recede further and further
from the earth.

Nine out of ten ailments lirst
show themselves in constipation.
Nature's warning, if left unheeded,
means serious chronic trouble
aler on. Medical statistics show
hat a greater number of ]>ooplo
mll'er from constipation than
from all other diseases combined.
V <jreat talk is made about consumption,
but if the truth were
known, constipation kills nidrc
people than consumption. Within
the last few years a modicino
lias been discovered and tnado
known to the American people, of
such merit in curing constipation
ind its conseipiences that now
over ten million boxes of CAS*
CAKKl'S are sold every year, the
greatest sale ever attained by any
one medicine in the world and
this is tiio strongest proof that it
is the best and will do all and
more than claimed. If you area
