better values than can be found in any other house.
Kid Body Dolls 25c.
Our stock of Dolls is growing beautifully less. The reason for it we are selling
them at less than others. We are turning out from our Millinery Department Doll

DADEVII.LE NOTES.
Dadevtlle, Ala., December 20.—[Spe
cial.]—Mr. A. A. Phillips, who stood well
in this community, succeeded in getting
largely in debt to some of our merchants,
and had mortgaged all his property to
them, managed to dispose of all his per
sonal effects and skipped about the 1st of
October last, leaving his family behind.
Last Wednesday night he and his family
boarded the west-bound passenger train at
Jackson’s Gap, aboard of which was Wm.
Gray, his largest creditor. On arriving at
Goodwater Mr. Gr«y had him arrested.
He is now in jail here, awaiting a prelimi
nary trial next Saturday.
E. W. Heard and family left us last
Tuesday for Bowie, Texas. We regret to
lose such worthy families from our society.
The « ngine, boiler and lumber are here
for the Murph Wagon Manufactory. Work
will begin as soon as they can be put in
place.
Prof. Simms, of the High School here,
has been confined to his room from jaun
dice for several days, but is rapidly im
proving.
Christmas and the supper at the court
house is all the talk now.
lester’s recovery doubtful.
Atlanta, December 20.—[Special.]—
From such meagre reports as reach the
city, Attorney-General Lester’s recovery is
very doubtful. He first showed evidences
of something wrong at the capitol yester-
I day. His home is three miles in the coun
try, and telegrams of inquiry sent by the
Governor and others meet no response.

ABSOLUTE Df PURE
SPOONER’S WEAK DRiYKL
HIS ALLEGED ARGUMENT FOR THE
FORCE BILL.
INGALLS LEAVES FOR KANSAS, WHERE
HE HAS BUSINESS—A GOVERN
MENT APPROPRIATION FOR
THE PURCHASE OF
LYMPH.
Washington, December 20.—Senator
Sawyer asked unanimous consent for fix
ing an eraly day in January for the
consideration of the postal telegraph bill.
Wolcott objected.
Ingalls, at his own request, was granted
two weeks’ leave of absence.
Platt-introduced a joint resolution ap
propriating $100,000 to enable the Presi
dent to obtain from the German Govern
ment a supply of the remedy discovered by
Dr. Koch and the formula for the manu
facture of the same. It was laid over. ,
The morning hour having expired, the
presiding officer laid before the Senate the
elections bill.
Paddock gave notice that after the con
sideration of the pending bill, and before
it should be concluded, if its debate should
be protracted to any great extent, lie would
ask the Senate to take up the pure food
bill, which was demanded by the farmers
from one end of the country to the other.
Edmunds demanded the regular order,
and the floor was taken by Spooner
in a speech in advocacy of the bill.
A stranger in the gallery, he said,
listening to this debate, withont a knowl
edge of the history of the country, would
be impressed with the idea that all the
love of liberty and devotion to the consti
tution, and freedom from partisanship,
were to be found on the other side of tha
chamber. He hoped that the gentlemen
on the other side would not assume that
Republican Senators were not equally,
with them, lovers of liberty. He took
pride in belonging to a party whose his
tory had been love of liberty and the
defense of liberty. Senators on the other
side constantly asserted that they spoke
for the Anglo-Saxon race. The Republi
can Senators were also Anglo-Saxons, and
they would be as unwilling as the Demo
cratic Senators to disparage or degrade the
race. The gentleman opposing this bill
denounced it as clearly unconstiutional,
and spoke of their devotion to the
constitution. He begged them to re
member that devotion to constitution
was not confined to the Democratic side.
Republicans were denounced as partisans.
He begged to suggest that possibly some
persons might imagine that the fierceness
of the opposition to this bill was attributa
ble in part to partisanship. Senators
ought to he willing to concede that in the
consideration of a measure of this charac
ter there was room for an honest
difference of opinion, and should
not forget that denunciation was
not argument, and that epithets never
convinced any intelligent mind. This de
bate had been characterized by something
of rudeness. The committee on privileges
and elections had been referred to in lan
guage of discourtesy. Almost every Sen
ator on the other side had made a harsh
and bitter reference to the Sena
tor from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar.)
That Senator needed no defense,
and, if this were otherwise, he
was abundantly able to take care of him
self. But he hoped that the Senator would
not, think him officious in saying that he
had heard the attieks with regret and in
dignation. When Massachusetts counted
her jewels none would be found richer
and brighter than the name and fame of
the Senator in charge of this bill. He was
the peer of any man who had ever spoken
for Massachusetts in this Chamber.
Spooner then proceeded to defand John I.
Davenport from the attack made upon
him, and contended, fortifying his conten
tion with documentary evidence, that the
Federal election law, instead of being
offensive to the Democrats of the North,
had been put into operation at their re
quest in many instances. Spooner then
proceeded to discuss and to defend the de
tails of the pending measure, and
to reply to * the strictures
upon them made by Gray
and Daniel. A good deal had been said,
Spooner remarked, in connection with
what was called “domiciliary visits,” but
nothing had been said of the domiciliary
visits of night riders at the South, or of
the shooting of men and the whipping of
women. All the indignation of the Dem
ocratic Senators had been directed at domi
ciliary visits, involving only a polite in
quiry by Federal officials as to who
lived in the house, so as to enable
him to judge whether the persons voting
from that House were legal voters. The
committee on privileges and elections had
been criticised because it could not esti
mate the cost of the enforcement of this
hill. It was impossible to make such an
estimate, because the committee could not
know the extent to which the bill would
have to be enforced. But whatever its
cost, the people would not higgle
over any cost that would secure
fair election. It had been said on the
other side that the bill was aimed at the
South. It was, in part. It was aimed at
every spot in the United States where, by
fraud or force, men who had a right to
vote for members ot Congress were cheated
out of that right. The South, he thought,
was where the bill was specially needed.
In proof of this he read extracts from
a speech made by Mr. Christman in
the late constitvtional convention of
Mississippi, declaring that, since 1875,
there had not been a fair election in that
State: that, in plain words, the white pei-
ple had been stuffing ballot boxes, com
mitting perjury, and carrying elections by
fraud and violence, until the whole ma
chinery of elections was about to rot down.
He also read the qualification for voters
contained in the new constitution of Mis
sissippi, among others being the ability of
the voter after January 1892, to
read, or to give a reasonable explanation
of the meaning of any clause of the
constitution of the State. Spooner had his
doubts of the ability of some of the Sena
tors on the other s.de to understand some
clauses of the constitution of the United
States. [Laughter.] If the constitution
of Mississsppi had stopped at an educa
tional test, and excluded from the right of
suffrage every man, white or black, who
could not read that instrument, nobody
would complain of it. But now, the igno
rant white voter might have the
simpliest clause read to him and
be asked if he understood it,
and answering “yes,” might be permitted
to vote, while an obstruse clause (as to the
right of eminent domain, or some legal and
technical question) might be read to the
colored voter, who would be asked to give
a reasonable explanation of it. The scheme
was plainly devised to let the ignorant
white man vote, if he voted the Demo
cratic ticket, and to keep the ignorant
black man from voting unless
he voted the Democratic ticket,
and yet Democratic Senaators railed
against the pending bill as giving to the
chief supervisor lordly power. What
would they say if such a clause as that
were put in it? Referring to Stewart’s
speech of yesterday and to his remark that
the election law could not be enforced in
the South, because public opinion would
not support it, Spooner remarked:
“To that complexion have w r e
come at las! ? Have we
fallen on a condition in our country that
calls for the preservation by law of the
purity of the ballot at the North, but that
we must stop at. Mason and Dixon's line,
because public opinion in the bonth is in
favor of a dishonest, and fraudulent, and
violent suppression of suffrage? I cannot
believe it.”
Spooner spoke for over five hours, and
his speech was listened to with marked at
tention and interest on both sides of the
chamber.
Ingalls read some extracts from speeches
of delegates to the Mississippi convention,
and from the editorials of local papers on
the subject of the qualification as to abil
ity to read or to explain clauses of the con
stitution. He affirmed it as his under
standing and belief, and as the conviction
01 the great mass of the people of the
North, that the constitutional convention
of Mississippi had been assembled for the
avowed purpose of disfranchising a majority
of its citizens, who were also citizens of
the United States. It had been assembled
for the expressed purpose of minifying,
defeating and overthiowing the amend
ments to the constitution of the United
States, by agreeing to which, Mississippi
had secured its re-admission into the
Union.
Higgins obtained the floor, and, after a
brief executive session, the Senate ad
journed.
IN THE HOUSE.
"Washington, December 20. — There
was a small attendance of members in'the
chamber when the House met this morn
ing, and Rogers, of Arkansas, notiDg this
fact, objected to the approval of the jour
nal. By a yea and nay vote, the journal
was approved.
Milliken presented a number of confer
ence reports on public building bills. In
every case the change made in a measure
purely verbal in its character, and, though
this statement was made by Milliken,
Rogers, of Arkansas, insisted upon the
reading of each report in full. The reports
were all agreed to, but a good deal of time
was consumed. The bill passed authori
zing a tunnel under the narrows in the
New York harbor to connect Middletown,
Staten Island, and New Utrecht, Long
Island. A motion to adjourn was lost;
yeas 64, nays 109.
At the expiration of the morning hour,
Henderson of Iowa, moved that the House
go into committee of the whole for consid
eration of the urgent deficiency bill, with
the Senate amendment thereto. On a
standing vote no quorum appeared, and
this point was made by Rogers. The
Speaker was unable to count a quorum,
and the yeas and nays were ordered. Hen
derson’s motion was agreed to—yeas 173,
nays 5, Barrows taking the chair. *
Henderson moved concurrence in the
Senate amendments with one exception.
This exception was the amendment pro
viding for the payment of Senate session
employes, including the clerks to the Sena
tors.
The committee on appropriations recom
mended concurence in the amendment with
an amendment striking out the appropria
tion for Senators’ clerks, which virtually
made them annual employes.
At the last session, the Senate had
endeavored, in an appropriation
bill, to secure a provision making
the position of Senators’ clerks an annual
one. The House had resisted this, and its
resistance had been successful. It was
now proposed to do, by indirection, what
could not be done by direction.
Then followed a political debate, in
which little was said about the bill before
the House. It lasted for the remainder of
the afternoon.
At its conclusion, the motion of Hen
derson was agreed to, the committee rose,
the bill was returned to the Senate for its
action, apd the House adjourned.
* GOTTLEIB’S GAME.
THE BIG SWINDLE ATTEMPTED BY AN AT
LANTA MEKCHANT.
Atlanta, December 20 —[Special.]—
The failure of Julius Gottlieb, who ran
four stores here and had branches at Ma
rietta, Cartersville, Newnan, Madison and
Barnesville, and supplied peddlers with
wares, has taken an interesting phase.
The deputy sheriff’s are finding goods se
creted in the houses of Gottieib’s Decatur
street neighbors. Ugly rumors are rife
about the doings of those implicated.
They are all Russian Jews, and excepting
Gottlieb, unsavory in business circles. His
credit has heretofore been good. The
work of searching for the secreted stock
went on until a late hour tonight and will
be resumed Monday. Gottleib disap
peared Monday last and only put in an
appearance today with the expressed de
sire of settling the claims at 20 per ct. He
was estimated to be worth $70,000,
Birmingham’s budget.
Birmingham, December 20.—[Special.]
Early this morning Policeman . Huffman
attempted to arrest a negro burglar in
Buzzard Roost. The negro broke loose
but Huffman caught him again, and while
attempting to search him the negro drew
a revolver and shot the officer. The ball
penetrated Huffman’s leg, producing a
painful though not necessarily fatal wound.
The residence of Major C. W. Gossett
was damaged $1000 worth by fire last
night. Fully insured.
At Howard College last night the Phil-
omathian Society gave a literary enter
tainment and debate.
Robert C. Anderson, the retiring train
master of the Georgia Pacific railroad, was
today called upon by a committee of the
employes and presented with a $200 gold
watch and chain and charm. He leaves in
a few days for Virginia.

TESTING KOCH’S LYMPH.
THE REPORTS OF INTERESTING EX
PERIMENTS AT BERLIN.
PROMINENCE OF AN .AMERICAN PATIENT.
AMERICAN DOCTORS FAVORED.
YI8ITING PHYSICIANS COM
PLAIN OF THEIR
TREATMENT.
Berlin, December 20.—[Copyrighted by
Associated Press.]—The number of Ameri
can doctors who have been waiting here
trying to get some of Koch’s lynqh is fast
being diminished. Several of them suc
ceeded in procuring small supplies for use
in their private practice before Koch issued
his prohibition limiting the supply of
lymph to hospital service.
Many have returned without the lymph,
but weighted with experience acquired in
studying cases. During the present wetk
Prof. Gerhardt closed his exhibition of
cases to all foreign physicians, excepting
some Americans. Prof. Gerhardt has now
treated seventy-nine patients, giving two
milligrammes of lymph as the first dose,
and in some instances only one. Four of
these patients, who were suffering from ad
vanced phthisis, died. Two left the
hospital much improved. The remainder
are progressing favorably. Gerhardt ex
presses his increasing satisfaction with the
results of the remedy, and especially in
tuberculosis of the larynx, where the
chances of recovery are better than in pul
monary phthisis. He confirms Koch’s
experience that the remedy is most useful
:n the initial stage of the disease.
AN AMERICAN TREATED.
William Degan. an American who came
to Berlin in charge of Dr. Wm. A. Talta-
vall, acquired prominence from his being
the first American to visit Berlin for treat
ment. He received the first injection on
Monday last. He is under the treatment
of Prof. Ewald. The first dose was only
one-half of a milligramme, Prof. Ewald
fearing to use any more on account of the
weak condition of the patient.
A slight reaction set in within
eight hours afterwards. The patient’s
temperature rose gradually until it reached
100 degrees. It then declined, and within
six hours became normal. Larger doses
have been injected since. Degan’s cough
is easier, and during the night he rests
better. There are other symptoms of the
amelioration of his condition. Professor
Ewald exhibited Degan to a large number
of foreign physicians as a typical case of
temporary improvement resulting from
the treatment, though he expressed doubt
as to his ultimate cure, considering his
condition.
Dr. Paul Gutman, who is treating
seventy-five consumptives,presented before
the Hufeland Gesellscbafc, four cases that
had been absolutely cured of pulmonary
phthisis. These cases had been taken at
the initial stage of the disease. The dose
in these cases had been) raised to five cen-
tegrammes. Prof. Leyden reports that of
127 patients suffering from diseases of
the lungs treated at the Charity Hospital,
the general results are promising. There
has been no mishap in any instance. In
contrast to Prof. Leyden’s experience, the
Cologne Gazette records the death of a
patient who was confided to the care of
Dr. Libbertz by Koch, and -who received
the first injection from Koch. The death
of this patient, the Gazette says,
can be traced to the injections.
Professor Dyden, analyzing his own and
other physicians’ experience, admonishes
doctors to use the utmost caution in every
case, be the patient strong or weak The
injections affect the heart strongly,as deaths
following injections have been caused by
the heart being affected. The Berlin doc
tors, apart from those who practice in the
hospitals, and those belonging to Koch’s
entourage, join the American physicians
in their bitter complaint that they caDnot
procure lymph.
—The Central Railroad of Georgia put
on sale yesterday round trip excursion
tickets to all points on its line and concec-
tions, good from December 20th to 25th
inclusive, good to return until January 2,
1891, and from December 29 to December
31 inclusive, good to return until January
5, 1891. The round trip tickets will be
sold at 2 cents per mile each way. This
will give a great many people an opportu
nity to visit friends in adjoining cities at a
reduced railroad rate.
