CHOLERA STILL RAGING IN RUSSIA. Official Reports Place Deaths at 7,102 Since Epidemic Broke Out. St. Petersburg, Sept 27.?Since the beginning of the epidemic there have been 15,683 cases of Asiatic cuolera reported in Kus sia and 7,102 deaths. In St. Petersburg alone, since the pres ence of the disease was officially admitted, September 8th, there have been 4,031 cases and 1,875 deaths reported. The figures with reference to the invasion of the city by the disease cannot be relied upon, as on a number of occasions, private but trustworthy statis tics showed the number of cases and deaths in a single day to be far in excess of that announced by the authorities. The efforts of Premier Stolypio and some of the higher govern ment officials, however, which recently have been directd to wards arousing the municipal authorities to action, have re Bulted in an appreciable better ment of the sanitary conditions and a consequent decrease in the disease, as shown by the figures given out today. For the twenty-four hours ending at noon the number of /new cases iu the city was 268 and the number of deaths 143, as compared with 312 new cases and 153 deaths for the previous twenty-four hours and 357 cases and 162 deaths between Tuesday noon and Friday noon. The people have taken heart because of this improvement. Bees Laxative Cough ttvrup always brings quick relief to coughs, colds, hoarseness, whooping-cough and all bronchial and throat trouble.

Ray, aged 15 years, committed suicide by shooting himself here today in the pres ence of 15-year-old Florence Mar shall, his schoolgirl sweetheart, because he had been forbidden paying attention to her to the neglect of his studies. The children went to the same public school near their home, in the northern section of the city, and the boy was the girl's constant escort. So serious was he in his attentions that his fam ily yesterday forbade him going to her house. He remained a vay from school this afternoon, and after Florence returned from school he went to herhouBe, shoi himself, and died in her arms.

Bryan has been a long time before the public. His wnole life has been under the closest scunity, and we cannot conceive that any one regards him other than as a perfectly honest man. If it were not for the asperity of party no one would ever accuse him of con tracting or maintaining an un worthy personal or party asso ciation. Concerning the man Haskell the case against him has not been fully established. He may or may not be guilty. At all events it is tcr be said in jus tice to him that he has resigned. As to Mr. Bryan we do not be lieve for a moment, nor believe that any other fairminded per son believes, that he ever had a doubt about Haskell's perfect integrity.?Charlotte Observer. Messrs. Ridgill and Burns. Thousands of people have stomach trouble, constipation, indigestion, sick headache, etc., and don't know what to do for it. Perhaps the experience of Mr. Hidgtll, postmaster at Bruceville, Tex., and Mr Burns, Wabash R. H. en gineer, Bement, 111., will suggest a method. Both of these men take pleasure In saying that they cured them selves with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, it is absolutely guaranteed to do what is claimed, and if you want to try it be fore buying, send your address for a free sample bottle to Pepsin Syrup Co., ll^ Cahiwell Bldg..
