Sensational Confession of a Crime In
Georgia —The Sheriff surprised.
Columbus. Ga.,Sept. 11.—Edgar Strip-
ling. a well known planter of this sec-
tion, has caused the greatest excite-
ment around here by accusing himself
of the murder of W'illiam S. Cornet.
Cornet was killed late last Friday night
near Chipley. Stripling was one of the
jurors impaneled by the coroner to fer~
ret out the guilty party.
Sheriff Bowles found Stripling await-
ing him at his home today.
“Well, sheriff,” said Stripling, as he
pulled out his watch, “it is now noon.
I had almost despaired of your coming.
I have information which will enable
you to arrest the murderer.”
The sheriff was overjoyed. He want-
ed to insist upon Striplingv'givi‘ng his
information while they would take
luncheon together, but the young plant-
er declined. s
“Is it then a case where we must get
to work. at once?”
“No,” replied Stripling, who showed
no trace of. emotion Whatever. “I will
have lunch later in another place.
Bowles, I am the man who shot Cornet.
“Yes; I did it. I killed him because
he insulted my sister. I shot him as he
sat in his home. I tracked him there,
and I directed my aim. by the shadow
his body cast upon the-.windowblind.
I killed him, and, I don’t regret it; I in-
tended neyer to mention it to any one,
but that was not because I feared any-
thing so much'as it was that 1 did not
want mywister’sname mentioned in
connection with his.
“You know the rest. You asked me
to go on the coroner’s jury. I went,
and I look the oath to do my-duty.
That’s what brought me here today. It
iSn’t regret for having shot Cornet; it‘s
because of the oath I took.”
The sheriff was dumfounded, and
his first thought was that Stripling was
suffering from some form of dementia.
He suggested that they see a physician
but Stripling only lagighed. He and the
sheriff had been friends since boyhood
and Bowles could not believe that
Stripling had committed the crime even
when he reiterated his former state-
ment and insisted that he was the mur-
derer.
“I am perfectly rational, ” said Strip- 4
“I did not come here to confess '
ling.
just for the sake of being arrested. I
have confessed. You may "do as you
like. I avenged my sister’s honor. You
have the Whole story.” '
There was nothing the sheriff tould
do except to take his man to jail The
prisoner is one of the most popular men
in the town and an influential politi-
cian.
'Dead to the World.
" f'ou have ruined my life.” he said
sitteily. just after she had broken
the engagement. “My ambition is

A INOISELEBSFHORSESHOE. _‘ ‘-
It Has Been Docll'red a. Boon by Experi-
enced Horsemen. -
A rubber-tired and noiseless horse
shoe, which is expected to revolutionize
horse running and racing, ‘has been
invented by a Western genius. The
shoes resembles the ordinary horse-
shoe, except that 'a circular rim of rub-
'ber is invented in its bottom. The in-
ventor is John W. Monarch, formerly
chief ofthe fire department of Des
Moines, Ia. The rubber portion tends
naturally to give the horse a much.
surer footing in climbing and descend-
ing steep hills or when traveling over
ro made slippery by mud or ice.
A horse equipped with the new shoes
was driven on one of the steepest hills
in Des Moines recently by way of ex-
periment. The animal was first driven
down hill 'at- a fast trot, and it was
found that instead, of trotting wit}:
stiff knees, as a horse naturally would
the horse traveled almost as surely as
it would on a perfectly level road
When the bottom of the road was
reached the horse, while still, trotting
rapidly, was turned off sharply with-
out making him slip or use his footing
Experienced horsemen who have ex
amined the- -new shoe declare that.it i:
a boon. —New York World.

5’5 Pills
The difference between these pill3 and all other medicines is
, told' in the following statement of facts . _
lst. They have been in actl 1e demand in the markets of the world since 1770,
or ior nearly one hundred and thirty years -
2d. They are purely vegetable, and are made of the purest and highest
class drugs obtainable.
3d. They are kept for two years in our storehouses after being made, and-
no pills are sold until they are, TWO YEARS old. This allows them to
become thoroughly mellowed and makes of them the very best
and safest cathartic medicine that it is. possib‘e to procure.
4th.‘ They never become inured to the system: that is, the same dose
will always produce the same efiect This cannot truthfully be said
of any other medicine.
There are others who claim
it. but
demonstrations show it to be true only cf BRANDRETH’ s PlLLs.
5th. They never pioduce gr‘. plug or pain unless the stomach is in a very
acid condition. and then only if the dose 15 a large one.
In doses of
one or two pills they never cause pain or other inconvenience.
6th. One pill taken after a heavy meal will relieve distress immediately.
7th. BRANDRETH' s PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract of salsa-
parilla that can be made. It IS highly concentrated and it makes of these
pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con-
taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla
than a dollar' 3 worth of any liquid preparation in the market.
8th. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every
' instance.
9th. They are a p051tive and effective remedy for constipation and for all the
long list of ills that follow in its wake—such as dyspepsia, dizziness,
drowsiness, coated tongue, foul breath. headache, pain in the stomach,
etc.
Take' one or two pills every night-one is usually enough—and
be certain that a cure will follow.
They are the best complexion pills. After you have taken them for a
few nights, your skin will assume a wholesome, healthful color, your
eye a brilliant lustre, and sallown‘ess and pimples will disappear.
1 1th.
BRANDRETH' s PILLS NEVER injure—you are always in better health
after taking a dose-1they are the safest medicine to give children and
women in deliCa-te health. One pill IS usually sufficient.
1 2th.
No medicine' is made with such infinite care as BRANDRETH'S PILLS
—no medicine but BRANDRETH’ s PILLS lS kept tor TWO YEARS before
they are boxed to be Sold:
1 3th
Except in sudden and acute sickness, when the dose should be from
four to eight pills. the best results are obtained by taking one or two
pills every night for a week or two. They act on the liver and leave
that organ in a penectly healthy. state, and when your liver is right
your blood is pure, and you are well.
Don't bully your liver with
powerful medicine, but coax it with BRANDRETH' S PILLS.
.BRANDRETH' s PILLS are sold throughout the world. with and.without
sugar coating. They never fail to do their work.
