Mr. J. bfs McMillan, a well-known resident of th! county, died last night as that result of injuries received on Tuesday afternoon by having his left arm canght In acotton gin. Mr. McMillan, while engaged In the ginning room, noticed that one of the gins had stopped. While attempting to remedy the trouble his arm was caught tn the moving wheeland badly mangled from the hand to the elbow. . In addition to this he was struck on the head, which, the doctors think, was as instrumental in causing death as was the Injury of the arm. Mr. McMillan's arm was entangled tn the gin fully two hours before being extricated. The doctors amputated the arm, but the Injured man never rallied from the shock. Dangerous If Neglected. Burns, cuts and other wounds often fail to heal properly if nesrlected and be come troublesome sores. De Witt's Witch Ilatel Salve prevents such consequences. Even where delay has ainrravatedthe in jury DeWiit,s Witch Hazel Salve effects a cure. "I had a running sore on my leg thirty years," says H. C. Hartly, Yankee town, Ind. - "After using many remedies, 1 tried De Wine's Witch Hazel Salve. . A few boxes healed the sore.". Cures all skin diseases. Piles yield to it at once.

HEW AllD OLD FRESHLY TOLD i Stories Colled at tHa Katlonil Ccpitcl I For th first time since President; 'Arthur's ; admlnistratloQ the White House-Is to have a thorough renova tion on artistic lines. : So heavy has grown tbe list of favored guests tn the Roosevelt household that It has been found necessary to turn the great cart room Into a state dining room. The present White House dining service, a strange conglomeration of antique and modern glass, ' silver and porcelain, with many pieces missing, will be su perseded by a new service of Sevres porcelain. The present state dining room will be used for small dinner parties. Like .the east room. It will be redecorated, the present yellow color scheme being obnoxious to the family. The entrance hall is also to be renovated In order that In general tone and character of decoration It may accord with the em bellished east room. In addition to these changes there Is need for additions for lighting facili ties and also for a staircase to the at. tie, a very urgent need In case of fire, the servants now being dependent en tirely upon the elevator.. Mnch new furniture of modern style is required In place of the nondescript types now scattered through the por tions of the house devoted to social uses. ,. Bolldlnsr Boom Predicted. Mr. William IL Given of New Xork, whose' connection with several archi tectural publications has given htm a wide experience In building operations throughout the country, in discussing the outlook at one of the uptown ho tels the other night predicted a stupen dous expenditure for building construc- 'tion this season. ; '- ' - : ; ' "The building work of 1902 set in with the strongest financial showing that has ever been recorded on this con tinent," jaid Mr. Given, . "Washington Is likely" to pile up a record breaking total this year, and no surprise need be occasioned if the local ereta ii close to fl0.000.00a. The impression prevails amon? the leading architects In New York and in various parts of the union that tbe national capital has a magnificent architectural future and that tbe next decade will record the erection of splendid federal structures here which will make Washington the most strikingly beautiful city in this part of the world, considered purely from an architectural viewpoint The Waakbarna la Coaa-rM. The visit to Washington recently of former United States Senator William D. Washburn brings to mind the fact that his family is the only one that ever had three brothers In congress at the same time. They were EHhu B. Washburn of Illinois, Cadwallader Col- den Washburn of Wisconsin and Israel Washburn of Maine. V They were all brothers of the former senator from Minnesota Another brother, "Charles Ames Washburn, was. at the breaking out of the civil war, editor of The Alta Californlan of San Francisco, lie was sent as a commissioner of the United States to Paraguay and later as minis ter to that country. He was a distin guished Inventor. Tbe Two V: The phrase "as like as two peas" might in tbe case of the Pulslfer broth ers be made to read "as like as two PV :;!,;;.'.:va-1-:,' ' Both brothers have been employees on the senate side for many years. Fit man has been a committee clerk for twenty years, and Woodbury has twelve years to bis credit. They look alike, they walk alike, and they talk and dress alike, so that they are very; frequently mixed up. Pitman Pulslrer, who is tbe clerk of the naval commit tee, la often compelled to listen to dreary figures about rivers and har bors, while bis brother has to bear all about the naval controversies. Both of the men are from Maine, and If one should resign and go home the other could play Iiox and Cox and fill both clerkships and nobody In the capitol would be any the wiser.
