JUBILEE SHOW,
Meeting of the Executive
Committee Was Held
Last Night.
CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION.
The Attendance Was Good and the
Purpose is to Give Macon a
Great Show Next October.
The executive committee of the Macon
•Carnival Association met yesterday after
noon at the office of Mr. Elks Talbott.
Nine members of the committee were
present and the business like proceedings
as well as the evident determination to
make the next Carnival a complete suc
cess was evident throughout.
Jt has been decided by the committee
that it would be unwise to make public
all the details of their actions until all
contracts are duly sigened. The best and
nothing but the best is what Macon wants
this year and it is what Macon is undoubt
edly going to have. If the general out
line of the plans of the committee is fol
lowed out.
A communication was read by the sec
retary from one of the great promoters of
carnivals and of mystic shows known 'to
this country. He gave an idea of the cost
ami offered to correspond further with the
committee.
After some discussion It was decided to
invite him to Macon and the secretary
■was instructed to do so by letter. He will
be here in time for the committee meeting
on next Friday afternoon.
The committee decided to name the
carnival the “Diamond Jubilee Carnival’’
to be held under the auspices of the Ma
con Carnival Association. This will give
the carnival a distinct object as it will be
held to celebrate Macon's Diamond Jubi
lee or the seventy-fifth anniversary year
of her Incorporation as a city.
The secretary was instructed to com
municate with the secretary of the State
Agricultural Society and to ask him to give
the executive committee of the Carnival
Association some idea as to the intentions
of the Agricultural Society for the present
year.
The Agricultural Society is under con
tract to hold its fair in Macon this year
if a fair is given at all. There has been
some talk about a fair, but whether the
Agricultural Society intends to hold one
or not is not known, at any rate the ex
ecutive committee of the Carnival Asso
ciation desires to have no clash and will
endeavor to avoid it.
The question of finances was discussed
by the committee and it was decided to I
throw the subscription books open at as
early a day as possible and to make the
canvass for subscription to stock in the
Macon Carnival Association as rapidly as
possible. Os course the general idea of
the work of the Carnival Association is
the greatest good for the largest number
and the committee hopes to interest every
individual in Macon.
The next meeting of the committee will
be at 4 o’clock on next Friday afternoon
at the same place and a large attendance
is expected.
SOME ONE
Wanted For United States Senator on
Whom Opposition Can Agree.
Columbus, 0., Jan. S. —Allen O. Myers
returned today from a trip to Cincinnati,
■where he had a long talk with John R.
McLean.
The senatorial situation was carefully
gone over. I learn that McLean told Mr.
Myers that he did not want to interfere in
the contest at all: that he did not deem it
•wise to do so.
This morning there was much talk in
Democratic circles that they are willing to
support the strongest Republican for both
terms. Between today and Saturday the
anti-Hanna Republicans will agree upon
their candidate and present him to the
Democrats, who will discuss the man. Then
an attempt will be made to line up all the
Democrats in the same manner as the
Democrats were lined up for Mason.
Anti-Hanna Republicans today said that
they must vote for a Republican for both
terms.
Maurice Rohrheimer and H. H. Hyman,
of Cleveland. John Farley’s agents, ate in
town. It is said that they held a long con
sultation with Hanna and will at once
start to work on lining up the Democrats
to vote for the strongest Democrat, in the
hope of electing Hanna.
Eight of Representative Scott’s constit
uents called on him last night and pleaded
with him to join the Hanna forces. At the
conclusion he said that he came near con
verting the eight to the anti-Hanna side.
It is learned that Cal Brice has written
to several Democratic Senators to urge
them to support the strongest Democrat
for senator. Democratic leaders say that
all this will amount to nothing.
The Democratic joint senatorial caucus
set originally, for Friday night has been
postponed to Saturday night in order to
give the anti-Hanna Republicans time to
agree on a candidate.

Mother's Friend. What is it? Much has
been said and written about it but the
half has not been told. It is a remedy
which is used by expectant mothers robs
the ordeal through which they all have to
pass of an incredible amout of suffering
and makes her recovery more rapid.
“If a price can be placed on pain, Moth
er’s Friend is worth its weight in gold as
an alleviator. My wife suffered more in
ten minutes with either of her other two
children than she did altogether with her
last, having previously used four bottles
of Mother’s Friend.” It is a blessing to
any expectant mother, says a customer.”
Henderson Dale, Druggist,
Carmi, 111.
If any lady who desires to Investigate
the merits of Mother’s Friend, will send
their address we will mail to her free of
charge our little book containing valuable
information and voluntary testimonials.

LON LIVINGSTON
Hears of Tom Felder's Intended Race For
Congress.
Washington, Jan. 8. —“I am not surpris
ed to hear of Tom Felder’s announcement
to make the race against me for the nomi
nation for congress,” said Representative
Livingston, “for he has been on the point
of doing so for the past six or eight
months.”
In spite of the foregoing statement, the
colonel seemed considerably surprised
when I told him of the announcement.
When asked if he would meet Mr. Felder,
he said:
“I have not yet received an invitation to
meet him, but I should certainly expect a
joint debate. The people of the district
have a right to one. As soon as Mr. Fel
der’s letter reaches me, just as soon as I
can spare the time from the appropriations
bills now under consideration, 1 will give
him notice and accept.”
“Several important appropriation bills
are before our committee, but we hope to
get through with them at an early date,
and, as matter of course, the time for a
joint debate will depend on our disposing
of these bills, but it will certainly be at a
date that will afford the Democratic voters
of the Fifth district an ample opportunity
to hear Mr. Felder and myself in a joint
discussion.
“This, of course, is all. Mr. Felder’s an
nouncement puts him in line with the
Democratic platform and Democratic pol
icies and principles.
“What do you think of your chances
against the genteman who has announc
ed?” I asked.
“I have held my own heretofore,” said
the colonel, smiling. “These gentlemen
have a perfect right to announce for con
gress or a dozen others, if they wish.
“The Democratic voters have a right to
and will evidently choose between the as
pirants for the post, and I will be satisfied
with the result. The 'party in my district
has honored me repeatedly in the past and
I believe my services are acceptable to a
majority in my party.
“Os course k is understood by all these
gentlemen, I hope, that as between the
three who have already announced and
myself that the matter will be settled by
a primary in each county, giving every
Democratic voter, and only Democrats,
the right to decide as to who can carry
the Democratic flag in 1898 in the Filth
congressional district of Georgia.”

LUNATIC
Wanted to See the President —Said He Had
a Message From Christ.
Washington, Jan. 8. —Jacob Clements, a
demented man, from Westchester county,
New York, caused considerable excitement
in the White House this morning. When
denied permission to see the president he
became very violent and was with diffculty
restrained by the guards and police.
Clements claimed to have a message to
President McKinley from Christ. He is a
heavy-set farmer, 58 years old, and speaks
very little English.
He arrived in Washington yesterday
morning.
He went directly to the executive man
sion. He encountered the doorkeeper and
asked to see the president. The doorkeeper
told him he had better write a letter to
him. Clements went away, but returned
an hour later with a communication, which
was taken charge of.
He returned this morning and insisted
that he must see the executive. When the
guard attempted to prevent his going up
the steps he became abusive. When the
officers endeavored to eject him he re
sisted. and it was finally decided to place
him under arrest.

SLEPT 'WITH THE CORPSE.
t
Aged Sister Coujd Not Get Out of the
House.
English, Ind.. Jan. 8, —‘Mrs. Sarah Mc-
Intosh died here Saturday, aged 80 years.
She was a sister to Mrs, Mary Runnels,
who is 87 years of age, and unable to
leave her room. Joseph Levell went to
Mrs. Runnell’s residence on some business,
but could not arouse anyone. On open
ing the door, which was unlocked, he felt
his way into the room, struck a match and
found Mrs. Runnell’s crouched in a corner
and the corpse of her sister lying in bed.
Levell then went home and sent his
daughter, Anna, to Mrs. Runnell’s resi
dence, while he went to get an undertaker.
Upon Anna’s arrival at the bouse she
found Mrs. Runnel! in bed with the corpse.
■Mrs. 'Runnells stated that she had slept
with the corpse every night since the
death.
Friends ordered a coffin from Louisville
costing $l5O and weighing 400 pounds, ac
cording to Mrs. Mclntosh’s wish, and she
was buried within three feet of the house,
but will be removed to New Orleans, La.
The two sisters were wealthy, but only
had one bed.
