GEORGIA AT OMAHA SHOW.' State Will Have Exhibit in Every Way Worthy of Her Importance. MACON SETS THE PACE Her Thousand Dollar Contribution Starts Ball Rolling Railroads Great Work. Mr. M. P. Walsh, of the Augusta Chroa iele, who wan ia Maeoa in atcenlance on j the mt-t-ting of the Omaha commission on Wednesday last, writes the following no tice of the meeting which is highly com plimentary to Macon: Colonel L>. B. Dyer returned yesterday afternoon from Macon, wdiere he was in attendaaice on the meeting of the commis sion which has charge of the proj/oixJ Georgia exhibit at the Omaha exposition. This was the first meeting of tne com mission since Colonel Dyer's appointment aud most of his aMOciates were strangers to aim personally, but they are ail kin dred spirits imbued with the enterprise and progressive spirit of the present cen tury, and he felt perfectly at home m th< ir company. Not only that, he made a most favoraole impression upon rhe commission and tile representative citizens of Macon, who were present to confer with them. lie was r< ogDlzed very shortly after he began to speak as a man of knowledge, expe rience and action. He lost no time in get ting Into the meat of the subject. He ex plain! <1 tersely ami practically what was expected of the city of Macon. Mayor Price, City Attorney Wimberly and Che members of t‘hc council were equally quick in assuring the body in business-like lash don that IMac-on never shirked her duty and w ts always ready to set the pace in any public work or patriotic movement, in bn«f positive assurance was given that M.ii-on would subscribe SI,OOO to the ex position fund. The commission. made no mistake wh» n they selected Macon as the first place for lor 'holdiWg their met ting after organiza tion wes |M*rfectid. Depending as tiny do upon the public spirit and liberal enter prise of rlie people at large .to take up the work that our legislative and executive bodies should Im- i-mpowerid to do. it was most essential to the success of the move ment that it .receive its impetus trom a people Who are abreast of the spirit of the times,--and who are working to build up every imterist of the state as well as their immediate territory. Results have con firmed the wisdom of their course. Theie Is no longer any doubt as to whether the .state of Georgia will be fully repnsenud at the Oma'lia exposition. Macon has measured fully up to expecta tions and her action has -assured -the suc ceas of tile exhibit. In tills collection I am glad to say that the spirit of i.Maeon has enthused the ecm niiisslon with hope an I confidence. The work before thorn when they organized in Atlanta was of such magnitude that they might well have hesitated. Hut every man had hewn his way in the past through ob stacles that seemed insurmountable and had won success, where thousands would have failed. They have faith in -the p:o --ple of Georgia and in the untold weal,th of her yet undeveloped resources of forest, field and mine. They left iMaeon with that faith and confidence fully confirmed. Next Wednesday these gentlemen met in Au gusta at 4 o’clock in the office of Colonel 1). B. liyer. At an hour to be arranged la ter, they will confer with the mayor and members of council and the business men generally. Augusta oan do no less than Macon. She will not be found wanting in tills great movement that moans as mu-h if not more to her than any other part of the state. Self-interest appeals strongly to her business circles, to say nothing of I»rlde or patriotism. —AM" -1 js er limits / c UEuaturs/ X j "fr, f- ,>/ -vs -i-ct ___________ CITY.OF MACON. Is Making Her Way Rapidly to the Sea. Reports from towns along the Ocmulgee show that /Macon’s new steamboat is mak ing a successful trip to the sea, laden with her cargo. It will taike the boat several days longer to make the trip than was expected, the pilot and captain being unfamiliar with the channel now. The return trip will be made nearly as i quick as the down trip will be. A full j cargo will be loaded at Brusnwick and ! brought to Macon and intermediate points. A SPLENDID TALK. Delivered at the First Street Methoaist Church Last Night. Mr. Willie D. Upshaw delivered a splen did address before the First Street Meth odist church EJpworth League last night. Mr. Vpsthaw is at all times a most in teresting speaker, and by his earnest man ner has won for himself the title of Barn est Willie. All those who attended the exercises were delighted. MAJESTIC MATURITY. “Mature womanhood,” says a leading society journal, “ has become fashionable. The period succeeding'youth is now considered more desirable than adolescence. The strangest thing is that it has not been discovered before ‘ > withall the examples that exist in history. The women .JuY** -ML of France and England, who were famous for dxC /Wk their power and attractions, reached the zenith of their glory after youth had flown, and retained their place in spite of accumulating years. Those ■ who have lived and have seen the world must r ’JV 1 always have a greater power for swaying human- » 1 ity than those who are equipped only with they .<s I pharm of youth. No one is disposed to under- 1 ' /r? i rate this charm, for it comes to all once and f A/ partakes not only of the sweetness of the £ txt I power, but also of its evanescence. Those of Q VX i us who have lost it. daily prove our regret by w WJX jSk AdSL / endeavoring to simulate its freshness of f 'ftAZ appearance and soul, but youth is so short and \ (Wk I the rest of life, until man’s allotted three score ' * /£ \ and ten are reached, is the so much longer w yl VVI \ part, that it is only reasonable for us to turn • y A A OUT attention to the attractions of maturity.” \\ THE SECRET. Woman should be at her zenith when 4 )I / \ \ \ she reaches the noonday of life. There ~ \\ \ are dangers in crossing the meridian, but y y \ no danger that cannot l>e avoided by in- r( telligence and attention. The symptoms 1 of what is known as the change of life are well known, and in Bradfield’s Female Regulator science has provided a sovereign remedy for every weakness and ailment incident to this vital period.

The usual symptoms are a full or bloat i ing sensation after eating, accompanied j some times with sour or watery risings, a ’ formation of gasses, causing pressure on the heart and Fungs and difficult breath i ing; headache, fickle appetite, nervous ! ness and a general played out, languid I . feeling. There is often a foul taste in the mouth, i coaled tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a i slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate ; trouble is found In a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly : digested before it has time to ferment and ' irritate the delicate mucouss surfaces of I the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy diges tion is the one necessary thing to do? and when normal digestion is secured the ca tarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet composed of Dia-staste, Asep tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and :• fruit acids. These -ablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and through digestion will follow their regu i lar use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, Hl., writes: ‘'Catarrh is a local I condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane i of the nose becomes inflamed and the poi sonous discharge therefrom, passing back j ward into the throat, reaches the stomach, : thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities peescrlbed for me ■ three years for catarrh of the stomach without c.ire, but today I am the happiest i of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dy .peps: a Tablets. I cannot find appro priate words to express my good feeling. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, bilious i mss, sour stomach, heartburn and bloat !

St. Donis, Jan. 29. —At 11:30 the other morning a fairly well-dressed young man, about 25, wearing a slouch hat and gold- I rimmed spectacles, walked quietly into the private office of Judge George A. Madill, I President of the Union Trust Company, ■ presented a letter and took a seat at the j elbow of the president. Judge Madill read the letter, said “Well?” and looked around. At his nose was the barrel of a 38-calibre revolver. The young man he ld it. "I want $50,000 or your life; I don’t care which,” said the young man quietly and ea'*n<. tly. Judge <Madill thought a second. "Vv uy do you want it?” he asked, While he thought. “I need it,” was the answer, “and I must have it. I can’t wait.” For twenty minutes Judge 'Madill and the strange young man with the revolver discussed the question. At last Judge Madill said: “Well, young man, I gueses I’ll have to let you have it. Just stay here until I fix it up for you.” He walked to the door. As he did so the young man said : “I am watching you. I’ll not be tamper ed with,” A few feet from the door Judge Madill met Festus J. Wade, to whom he Whisper id as he passed: “Get detectives quick,” and passed on to the cashier's desk. The young man remained in the office. Judge Madill busied himself at the money desk, and Mr. Wade telephoned for the de tectives. Presently Detectives Badger and Tracy arrived at the Union Trust Building. Mr. Wade met them. Judge Madill saw them enter and turned with a bundle o-f bills and passed into his private office, reaching the door just ahead o-f the detectives, who followed him and seized the young man as he reached for the revolver in his pocket. The door was then closed and for an hour and a half the young man was ques tioned. He refused to give his name, ad dress or business. He claimed that he was hired to demand the money, but refused to say who hired him. At 2:15 'he was taken to the Four courts where he gave the supposedly fictitious I name of “John Smith." Judge Madill was not disturbed by the affair. After his strange visitor had gone i he leaned against the rail and told how it | bed happened. "The only thing to it,” he said, “was that a misguided young man demanded money or my life. He got neither. He can now repent his folly. He had a pistol and looked like he meant business. The feeling I had when I saw the yawning pis tol barrel were not pleasant, but I could not tell it. “When I told him I would have to get the money he seemed to take the sensible view of it. He knew I didn’t have the money in my office. “At first I thought he was crazy, but I don’t believe it now. The letter he pre sented had no bearing on the case. It did not mention money. BRIMSTONE. "Bottomless Pit” Recently Appeared in North Dakota. FLAMES ARMUEFOCATING, What a Daring Indian Agent Saw Hundreds of Feet Under ground. Foreman, N. D., Jan. 29 —The Indians : for hundreds of miles are cowering in a ; state of abject terror on account of one ; of Nature's most startling phenomenon I ever reported. A short time ago fearful noises, as the • mutterings of myriads of men in the dis tance were heard. A few hours later a yawning -gash was found in the earth in the midst of a level plain ten miles north of the old government fort. A few days later brimstone commenced to issue from the rent in the earth. This feature is fearfuly suggestive of a I Satanic realm. The fiery vapor issues in j pur.ple flame, deadly and suffocating. An Indian cur ran barking to the edge of the precipice. He sniffed at the rim and then, with a feeble howl, disappeared into the abyss. Two days afterward the mangled car cass of the dog was found clogging up a small spring that bubbled out from under a pile of stones in a gulch a half-mile from the orifice. The gas issuing from the pit, it is supposed, suffocated the animal before he fell. The day after the hole appeared James Patterson, one of the reservation agent’s men, allowed himself to be lowered through the orifice. A rigging with 1,000 feet of stout rope was constructed. The odor of brimstone was not apparent at that time. The venturesome agent says, regarding his awful trip into the earth: “I had gone down only a short distance when I saw stacks of 'bones imbedded in the earthly walls on either side. The at mosphere was oppressively hot, hardly bearable, in fact. “From side to side I swung, slowly sinking. As m.y chair struck against the sides of the fissure small fragments of rock and bones became detached and dropped—l know not Where, for if they struck water or ground I never heard the report. “Still I descended, the heat becoming more intense each second. Soon I became conscious of a siputtering sound, as if oil were bailing. “Then I saw what appeared to be a lake of livid water. Around the edges there 'was a pink line of fire, gradually broad ening toward the center. “I grew dizzy and signaled for them to raise me.” This astonishing spectacle was probably a large bed of sulphur, which had become ignited. Extensive deposits of this min eral have been found in the vicinity. The white people, as well as the Indians, are greatly alarmed. The latter are firmly convince that the fissure will enlarge and swallow up their enemies, together will all the hated elements of civilization.

Exercises at the Orphans Home Yesterday Afternoon. The Dunan Memorial exercises at the Methodlist Orphans Home yesterday after noon were witnessed by a large audience. The music by the Wesleyan young ladies was most delightful. Dr. Pinson’s address was pronuonced by all to be the most excellent. No former exercises at the home have been more im pressive or appropriate. The program rendered was as follows: Song—“iAU the Way.” Special sextette from Wesleyan College. Prayer—(Rev. George G.

Jan. 28.—A rumor to the ef fect that Geogre E. Smith, better known as “Pittsburg Phil,” the turf plunger, was broke, gained currency yesterday. Friends in Philadelphia were said to have raised a thousand dol! | s for him last Thursday. “Phil” is at present and has for some weeks been in Florida. Sporting men here think the story ab surd. They say Smith was a big loser last season, but that he is broke is scarcely a possibility. It is sajd, however, that the terror to {he ring for some years, is losing his nerve. The immense strain of betting nearly $2,000,000 a year has told on him. and it was noticed last season that he had lost that cool bearing which had formerly characterized hinb VERDICT FOR DEMPSEY.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING? iljl NICARAGUA CANAL. I Company Formed to Supply Laborer! for Carrying on the Wprk. New York. Jan. 28. —The Herald’s cor respondent with the Nicaraguan commis sion advises under the date of Nicaragua, January 18: The canal commission here cabled to Washington two days ago as follows: “The canal of Nicaragua is practicable for less than three-quarters of the origi nal estimate. Four and a half to six and a half years are required to build it. Four thousand eight hundred laborers are need ed to commence work. This number of men should be doubled in three months.” This reply was received by the com mission : “A company in New York and Ohio has been duly formed to engage men from Puerto Barrios, Jamaica, Beliz and Nica rauga.” The Herald’s correspondent adds that New York and Ohio men got the contract ! in spite of keen competition. SHOWER OF GOLD. Bnllion Broke Through the Hatch and Land ed on Sacks of Flour. San Francisco, Jan. 28. —A curious acci dent happened on the steamer Optic while , she was lying at Shanghai. A large amount of bullion which had been piled on the I hatch broke into the hold. Only the fortunate presence of several | tiers of flour in sacks saved the vessel i from destruction, as the weight of the bullion was so great that it would have gone clear through the steamers’ bottom. MILLIONS In Oil Exceed Millions in Gold According to Report to Be Published. Portland, Ind., Jan. 28.—Some advance information of a report to be issued re garding the oil and gas industry of this country says that the outcome of petro leum welis is more valuable than the pro duction of gold mines, including those in the Klondyke. The total amount of gold mined in 1896 was $53,000,000 and the value of the petroleum produced was $58,000,000. Ohio ranks pre-eminent in the value of oil produced, but the output in Pennsylvania exceeds that of the Buckeye state. After Pensylvania comes West Virginia, Indiana and New York. The export trade of the United States has fallen off slightly and last year only 110,000,000 gallons were sent abroad. Yet the receipts from the same increased dur ing that period. The declining pressure throughout the natural gas district, which has been no ticed from year to year, continued during 1897. Since 1888, when the value of the nat ural production was $22,000,000, it fell off to $13,0000,000 in 1896. Pennsylvania’s out put has been reduced 75 per cent, during the past nine years, dropping from $22,- 0000,000 in 1888 to $5,000,000 last year. Indiana is the only state to increase the value of its production to any extent. Ohio has held der own during this period.

When a baby conies V into this world he is /// going to have a struggle jT to keep his foothold in -r the difficult places of A \ j irv life, and battle against / the misfortunes that J will probably beset him. I \ No matter how well off ® 1 his parents may be, they can’t insure him against * misfortune. The best they can do is to start him with a good, healthy, vigorous constitution. A mother who wants to bequeath her baby a good store of strength and hardihood ought to keep herself in the best physical condition during the time her little one is expected. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion has been a wonderful blessing to moth ers and their children. It gives strength to the special organism concerned in matern ity; it purifies the system and imparts healthful vitality to the nerve-centres. It makes the coming of baby safe and com paratively painless. It is the only medicine in the world de signed by a regularly graduated physician and skilled specialist to cure all weaknesses and diseases of the feminine organism. W. R. Malcolm, Esq., of Knobel, Clay Co., Ark., writes : "My wife for perhaps four months pre vious to the birth of our child took the ‘ Favorite Prescription.’ This strengthened her entire sys tem, and child-birth, to her, was very easy, be ing attended with little pain. Our baby Ruth is 13 months old and she had never been sick a day, not so much as had the colic; she is hearty and stout, and pretty as a picture—pretty because she is healthy, and we very much blame Dr. Pierce’s family medicines for it. We keep Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov »ry, the ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ and the ‘ Pleas ant Pellets ’ in our home and use them. We have been married most three years and I have called a physician Into my family but one time —at birth of our baby.’’ If all the maladies due to constipation were taken out of medical books, there would be. little left but the covers.
