^ | THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH. Wednesday, November 28,1906. SHAW A?D SET AST SCADS ADDSBSSSSS Great Party Leaders Spoke From Same Platform?Lion's Share oi Attention. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 22.?Leslie II. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, and William J. Bryan had the lion's -share of attention today among a long list of speakers at' the tftree sessions of the trans-Mississippi congress. All spoke on subjects relating to the increasing of the commercial business of the country. Mr. Bryan was appointed to head a committee of former presidents of the congress to escort Secretary Shaw to the platform, and when these two distinguished public men led the way to the rostrum there was great applause. ^Secretary Shaw declared: "If this country ever develops international merchants it will accomplish it by jganting them encouragement, not Clone by dredging harbors and deep<|ning channels, but by insuring them . ^merchant marine in whieh to carry, under the most. favorable terms, the nioducte of our farms, our mines, our wests, and our factories. i ^'Secretary Root has gone a step nher than I propose to go in favor of awwchant marine. He commits himself to the ship subsidy idea. I do not say that i am in favor of a ship subsidy, out I will say that I am in favor of anything that will produce a merchant marine for the United States." ..-.Mr. Bryhn, whose subject principally concerned the commercial interests of the Mississippi valley region, -was the sole speaker at the evening sesSioh. . At a session of the resolutions committee today a proposal to endor'aC Secretary Root's suggestion for a ship subsidy, particularly formail steamers to South America, was adopted. There is a strong,sentiment in th? congress favoring Secretary boot's esggestloii> mSaamaan j ; * ?tJuved of Blight's Disease. to. Robert O. Burke, Elnora, N. Y., writes: ''Before I started to use Foley's Kidney Cure I had to get up from twelveto twenty times anight, audi was all bloated up with dropsy and my eyesight was so impaired I could scarcely see one of my family across the room. . I had given up hope of living, when a ' friend recommended Foley's Kidney Cure. One 50 cent bottle worked wonders and before I had taken the third bottle the dropsy had gone, as well as all other symptoms of Bright's disease."

Utrs; Eckhart asked her danghters to become ^partners in her business. Thby declined, and when she refused to give up the awful work complained to the county medical society.

An operating table and surgical instruments were found. Two womdn patients were held as witnesses. Mrs. Eckhart was held for further hearing. This is Worth Remembering.

' One of the darkest spots on the chart of modern ci vilization is the high rate of infant mortality. How largely this is preventable is shown by an experiment of the mayor of Huddersneld, England. He offered a prize of $5 for i every child, born during his term of office, which lived at least 12 months. Though several epidemics occurred, the mortality was reduced from 122 f per thousana to 44, largely by the aid of women who instructed mothers in sanitary matters. While maternal , ignorance and carelessness are thus shown to be important factors, another ; one is of prime importance ? the | source and quality of milk. It has ' long been established that intestinal troubles caused by improper food (chiefly cow's milk) account ior tne largest number of deaths of infants under one year. It has also been frequently suggested that a great improvement could be effected by substituting the milk of goats for that of co.ws. A plea for goat's milk is contributed by Dr. William Wright to The Lancet, He points out its great superiority in the three essential points of cleanliness, digestibility, and freedom from disease germs. Among the 130,000 goats and kids brought to Paris for slaughter every year, the meat inspect* * a have failed to discover a single case of tuberculosis. Weight for weight, the goat yields twice as much milk a9 the cow, and if the animals are properly fed, their milk has no flavor to distinguish it" from cow'8 milk. < ? * Saris?

The Terrorists killed one soldier, wounded the collector and seized a bag containing $1,000. The remaining soldier fired wildly, killing one passerby, and wounding another, I whereupon the Terrorists dropped ?heir boojy and escaped, fcremoaitioa Oaiao True.

Jim Epps, living on Mr. Felix Lipscomb's place, near Goucher, shoe and killed his wife. Sheriff Thomas was notified and went out. He met Epps in the road and arrested him. Epps said that he was on his way to town to give himself up, claiming that the shooting was accidental. Sheriff Thomas says that Epps looked like he was ready to run when he was seen by the sheriff.

Aiken, Nov. 22.?Julia Hammond, the 17-year-old negro girl, who has been detained in the county jail here pending the coroner's investigation into the killing of Major Bryant, also colored, on last Monday near Beech Island, will be released on ?300 bond. From the investigation it was shown that the Hammond girl and Bryant were visitors at the heme of Julia 'MayWatkins, the latter being the only eyewitness to the accident. The girl picked up a breech-loading gun which was the property of one of the inmates of the Watkins house and playfully pointed the same toward Bryant, who then also took hold cf the gun and- a friendly scuffle ensued ending in the discharge of the contents of the gun into the trunk of Bryant. Bryant fell to the floor and died a few moments afterwards. His body had been interred before r^./vt-nnov Ou'ena "hurl hppn rmt.ifiprl in view of which fact together with the circumstances connected with the case, an inquest was not held. However, the coroner made a thorough investigation and has arrived at the conclusion that Bryant* came to- his death by the accidental discharge of the gun in question. Dancing Proves Fatal.
