"IAX M'CLAREN" IS DEAD.
Beloved Author, Minister and Lec?
turer Dies at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, of
i Blood Poisoning.
? Burlington,, Ia., May 6.-Dr. John
liaison ("Ian Maclaren") died at
Wil.15 a. m. today at Mount Pleasant,
Ta. The cause was blood poisoning
resulting from tonsilitis. Dr. Watson
came to Mount Pleasant on April 23
from Minneapolis to deliver a lecture.
En route he became ill " 1 was com?
pelled to cancel the lecture. Last
Monday and Tuesday he was able to
be up and around and transact busi?
ness. Wednesday an abscess formed
in the right ear, and in 24 hours seri?
ous symptoms developed. Blood pois?
oning set in and on Saturday other
abscesses formed in the left ear and
throat. The patient's condition was
aggravated by a bad attack of rheu?
matism. His wife, who was his con?
stant companion in his last illness,
left the room at ll o'clock this morn?
ing. She was gone about fifteen min- j
utes and returning found her hus?
band lifeless.
The Rev. Dr. John Watson ("Ian
Maclaren") was born at Morningtree,
Essex, England. Nov. 3, IS30. He was
or daine i a minister in IS 75. He was
appointed Lyman Beecher lecturer at
Tale University in IS76. and was
made minister of Sefton Park Presby?
terian Church, Liverpool, in 1SS0.
Among the publications of "Ian Mac?
laren" were "Beside the Bonnie Briar
Bush," "The Days of Auld Lang
Sync," "A Doctor of the Old School,"
etc. and among the works signed
John Watson were "The Mind of the
Master," "The Cure of Souls," "The
Potter's Wheel," "The Life of the
Master," "Doctrines of Grace," "The
Homely Virtues" and "The Inspira?
tion of Faith."
The dead head list has been elimi?
nated by the new board of directors
of the Baseball Association. Every?

pay, and the ladies will have to pay

to ladies will be made for admission
to the grand stand. j
Put Them in Stripes.
The importation of whiskey and
wines by "blind tigers" can be stop?
ped, but not by imposing fines. So
long as the fines do not destroy the
profits of business, the business will
continue.
The effectiveness of the method by
which the wholesale tigers may be
brought to their senses i3 simple.
The overwhelming sentiment of
this city favors the enforcement of
the Carey-?Cothran law (unsuitable as
it is to the community), so that it
shall turn the largest amount of rev?
enue into the city and county treas?
uries.
The question before the taxpayes
of Charleston is whether or not they
shall lose $25,000 or $50,000 a year
in order that a small number of law?
breaking wholesale whiskey dealers
shall amass f o tunes.
Is any wholesale "blind tiger" ia
this city too good to wear stripes?
Does any reason exist why one who
impudently defies the people of Char?
leston should not work on the chain
gang?
A fine of $500 will not reform a
wealthy "tiger." Thirty days on the
chaingang would tame him for the
remainder of his natural life.
The grand juries and the petit ju?
rors of Charleston aie what the peo?
ple of Charleston make thom.
If the people of Charleston are so
tender-heated that they prefer to lose
$30,000 a year, or possibly twice that
sum, in order that the lawbreaker
may escape the law's penalty, then
the situation is hopeless.
The county dispensary system is
not an ally or a sub-agent for a cor?
rupt State machine having headquar?
ters in Columbia or elsewhere. It is
controlled and operated by Charles?
ton for Charleston. The county
board of control is composed of gen?
tlemen willing and determined to en?
force the law. To succeed, they must
have the active, aggressive and untir?
ing help of the community* and this
help must be shown in the Court of
Sessions by the jurors.
We do not expect that the Carey
Cothran law shall prove a perfect
success. Ignorantly and viciously, the
State constitution of 1895 has en?
tangled and embarrassed all efforts
for the sane and intelligent control of
the traffic in intoxicants in the larger
cities of South Carolina. The general
assembly has done the best that it
could for Charleston within the con?
stitutional restriction. It has giver,
to Charleston home rule and home
regulation cf this traffic. If our
community fails to respond to the
spirit of the legislation, more accept?
able legislation in future may not be
looked for.
Earnest efforts on the part of the
community to utilize the Carey-Coth
ran law to improve conditions, with
fair results to show the legislature,
will gradually bring the people of the
State to a rational sympathy with the
difficulties of the situation here. By
such efforts the enactment of prohibi?
tion for Charleston may be averted.
Our first efforts should be to de?
stroy the business of the wholesale
importers of contraband whiskey and
that may be easily accomplished by
putting the wholesalers in stripes on
the streets.-News and Courier.
LIQUOR ACCOUNTS UNPAID.
Columbia, May 3.-The dispensary
commission did not order any ac?
counts paid yesterday. Another meet?
ing wil be held today.
The question as to what is to be
done in regard to the S4G0.000 be?
longing to the school fund of the
State is causing the whiskey houses a
great deal of worry, according to a
: member of the commission.' At least
one liquor drummer was more or
less worried up over the matter yes
? terday.
If the dispensary commission
should decide that the State dispen?
sary owes the public schools of the
State $400,000, as the books of the
late board of directors show, it would
probably mean that the liquor houses
will have to wait a longer time on
their money and may not get so much
as if their accounts are given pref?
erence.
lt is thought by some that the
county boards of education could
mandamus the dispensary commis?
sion and recover their pro rata of
the full $400.000. As yet no action
has been taken by the State superin?
tendent of education or any of the
county boards.

WOULDN'T TAKE A DRINK.
RX Xusal of Carolina's Chiefs to Main
tain Record of Their Predecessors
Astonishes Metropolitan Press.
The New York Herald printed
Tuesday in a most prominent posi?
tion, and with flaring headlines, the
following special from New Haven,
Conn.:
Members of Connecticut's official
party at the opening of the James?
town Exposition are telling of an epi?
sode in which Governor R. S. Wood?
ruff, of Connecticut, and the govern?
ors of North Carolina and South Car?
olina were figures. The three met at
Governor Claude A. Swanson's re?
ception on Thursday evening in the
Virginia building. The Carolinian
governors had never met. and Con?
necticut's governor, upon learning of
the fact, brought them together, Gov
eror Ansel, of South Carolina, and
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina,
clasped hands warmly, and while
they were expressing mutual gratifi?
cation over the meeting Governor
Woodruff stood expectantly. He re?
marked as they were about to sepa?
rate:
"And now, gentlemen, I presume I
shall have the pleasure of hearing a
repetition of the famous remark of
the Governor of North Carolina to the
Governor of South Carolina."
Governor Ansel responded at once.
"Your Excellency, as I am a prohi?
bition governor and a teetotaler, I
cannot make it sincerely."
And to the amazement of Governor
Woodruffff and Governor Ansel as
well the other governor added:
"Being a prohibitionist myself I,
too, must suffer the remark, at least
literally, to remain a matter of his?
tory."
Insurance companies cannot refuse
to pay policies on suicides ,in case the
law of the State in which the suicide
occurred provides that such policies
must be paid. This point was decided
by the supreme court in a suicide
case which came up from Missouri,
the lower court being overruled. It
was held that the clause in the policy
making suicide a defense to payment
by the company was an evasion of
the statute of the State. In rendering
the decision Justice Harlan said: "The
manifest purpose of the statute was
to make all inquiry as to suicide
wholly immaterial, except where the
insured contemplated suicide at the
time he applied for the policy."
Little Pocket Physician
-
J
Thousands who have teen cured'by j
Hyomei call the inhaler that comes
with every outfit thc "Little pocket J
Physician," as it is so small that it
can be caried in the pocket or purse.
There is really no excuse whatever
for anyone having catarrh now that
Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If
you have any doubt about its value,
J. F. W. DeLorme will let you have
a complete outfit, with the under?
standing that unless it cures catarrh,
it will not cost a cent.
The complete Hyomei outfit con?
sists of the "Little Pocket Physician"
and a bottle of Hyomei and costs $1.

Sunday School Picnic.
A very enjoyable occasion was that
of a picnic given by the Forest View
Sunday school Saturday, the 4th in?
stant, in the grove in front of the
residence of Mr. Knox White, about
three and half miles from this city.
Under the supervision of Mrs. B. D.
Mitchell, assisted by a' corps of young
ladies and young gentlemen, we spent
one of the most pleasant days in a
long while.
Dr. J. W. Daniel gave us one of his
short and spicy lectures, which was
very much enjoyed by the crowd.
We had an abundant dinner and
to spare, and all present seemed to be
glad they were there. This was the
anniversary of the organization of
the Sunday school at the poor house,
which is now in a very properous
condition. S.

Beware of "Digestives."
The ordinary "dyspepsia" tablet
ha." ruined more stomachs than all
other causes combined. Giving tem?
porary relief, it leaves the digestive
system weaker than ever, and the
tablets must be continued with in?
creasing frequency.
Mi-o-na excitts the secretion of
gastric juice, and when the food is
swallowed, the stomach is ready to
digest it.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are never
sold in bulk, but in a neat box con?
venient for the purse or vest pocket,
at 50c.
A guarantee is given by J. F. W.
DeLorme with every box of Mi-o-na,
that the money will be refunded if
the remedy fails to give satisfaction.
This shows his faith in the merits of
the remedy. 5-8-2t
