GEN. HARRISON DEAD.
Ex-President's Death Was Quiet and
Painless at His Home in
Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 13.? '
General Benjman J. Harrison
died at 4:4."> this afternoon with
out regaining consciousness His
tleatli was quiit and painless,
there being a gradual sinking
until the end came, which was
marked by u single gasp foe
breath as life departed from the
body. The relatives, with a few
1 exceptions, and several of his old
and t ried friends were at tlie for
mer President's bedside when he
passed awry. The General's
condition w a;e,, bad this morn
ing, after a ? a less night that
the attending hysicians under
stood that the nd could not be
far off and all 1 jlletins sent out
from the sick bo >m were to this
effect, so that he family and
friends were prt iared when the
final blow came.
News of the death spread quick
ly through the city, and several
of the more intimate friends-at
once hurried to the Harrison res
idence. The word was flashed '
from the bullet ins of all the news
papers, and thus communicated
to the people on their way home
in the evening. The announce
ment produced the greatest sor
row. Withm a few moments,
the flags on all the public build
ings and most of the down town
business blocks werfe hoisted at
half-mast, and other outward
manifestations of mourning were
made.
None of General Harrison's
children were present at his death.
Neither Colonel Kussell Harrison
nor Mrs. McKee had reached the
city, although both were on their
way. Elizabeth, General Harri
son's little daughter, bad been
taken from tlii* sick room by her
nurse before t(he end came.

Mr. J. Hill, of Brown Mountain,

He will not divulge the secret of
his invention but his brother tes
tifies to the reality of its exist

will furnisl the cash to put his
machine in[ operation. He pre

Doctor try Scott's Emul
sion of ( od Liver Oil, when

I ' ^
! Vou can do the same.
It may or may not be caused
bv the failure of stomach and
bowels to do their work. If l
It is, you will cure it; if not.
vou will do no harm.
The way, to cure a disease
is to stop its cause, and help
the body get back to its habit
of health.
When Scott's Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil docs that, it
urcs; when it don't, it don t
ure. It never does harm.
The genuine has
this picture on it, take
no other.
If you have not
tried it, send tor fr^t

taste will surprise
