Result of Another Big Drop —Some

When The News published its last cot

the price must advance. Now friend
Wortham tells me it did not. Well, 1 ad

so, but won't say when.

FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Little Book Sent Free for the
Asking.
Medical books are not always interesting
reading, especially to people enjoying goon
health, but as a matter of tact scarcely cm
person in ten is perkfectly healthy.' and
even with such sooner oi later sickness
must come.
it is also a well established truth that
nine -1< niffs oi all diseases originate with a
b'reaktnx down of the digtsiiou, a weak
stomach weakens and impoverishes the
system, making it easy for disease to gain
a foothold.
Nobody need fear eonsumptioin. kidney
disease, liver trouble or a weak heart ana
nervous system as long as the digestion is
good and the stomach able to assimilate
plenty of wholesome food.
Stomach weakness snows itself in a
score of ways and this little book de
scribes the symptoms and causes and
points the way to a cure so simple that
anyone can understand and apply.
Thousands have some form of stomach
trouble ..nd do not know it. They ascribe
the headaches, the languor, nervousness,
insomnia, palpitation, constipation and
similar symptoms to some other cause
than the real-one. Get your digestion on
the right track and the heart trouble, lung
trouble, liver disease or nervous debility
will rapidly disappear.
The little book treats entirely on the
cause and removal of indigestion and its
acto tu pa nying a n noy a n ees.
It describes the symptoms of Acid Dys
pepsia. Nervous Dyspepsia. Slow Dyspep
sia. Amylaceous Dyspepsia. Catarrh of the
stomach and ail affections of the digestive
organs in plain language easily understood
and the causes removed.
it gives valuable suggestions as to diet,
and contains a table giving length of time
required to digest various articles of food,
something every person with weak diges
tion should know.

VACCINATING THE CHILDREN.
Professor Abbott Says There Has Been no
Resistance so Far in the Schools.
When the Board of Education passed a
resolution making it necessary for all of
the school children to be vaccinated it
was thought then that opposition that was
displayed several years ago would be in
evidence again, and there was consider
able talk to that effect, but now all of the
parents seem to <be sumitting quietly, and
the larger portion of the children have
been vaccinated.
The residents in East Macon who were
the foremost in this matter of opposition
have about given up the fight, and it Is
thought that they will submit quietly to
having ibeir children vaccinated.
BY TREATY
May the War in Cuba be Ended, Says
• News from a High Source.
New York, Feb. 1. —A Madrid special
to the Herald asserts that important news
cornea from a high source which means
nothing less than that unless an unexpect
■ d incident shall occur peace is assured
and the end of the Cuban troubles is at
hand. For some time past negotiations
have be< n going on between Spain and
the United States for a commercial treaty.
G< n. Woodford, in behalf of the United
States, is carrying on the delicate negotia
tions here for a measure which Is highly
beneficial to Cuba, Spain and the United
States
Those negotiations have reached Wash
ington. They are reciprocal and of dou
ble nature, for one treaty will be made
with Spain between Senor De Lome and a
deb gate chosen to represent the United
States, by which the United States comes
in for a first time on a footing as a most
favored country, thus opening markets to
her which up to now Germany, France and
England had to themselves.
Another treaty with a separate sched
ule will be signed by a delegate of Cuba
on behalf of the autonomist government
on broad terms. The importance of this
latter will be seen when it is understood
that trade will at once enormously increase
with Cuba, whose undeveloped wealth will
be at once stimulated by inflowing Ameri
can capital, assured that no longer can
.cy government whim, injustice or wrong
precipitate disorders and consequent ruin
in property.
.Spam will gain an intelligent peace cn
modern lines and Cuba a free government,
which the United States cannot afford to
have tampered with or disturbed.

HOW MAC WORKS IT.
Judson Lyons Is a Living Example of the
Wily Ways of tne President.
Washington, Feb. I.—When Judson
Lyons thinks of the way the president pul
nis arm on ..is shoulder and said: "Wilt
you be willing to leave your case in mj
personal charge'.”' he remembers what
Joab aid to Abner wiles he lovingly said:
"Art thou in health, my brother?” anu
smote him under tne fifth rib.
This ancient style of politics is a favor
ite with the president. Whenever fights
leeni irrevocable to others the president
tri s this method. B< tort now he lias said
to weary candidates: "Will you be willing
to leave your case in my personal keep
ing?" The affectionately londled candi
date imeindiately says "Yes," and forth
with his opponent is named for the place
he was seeking. Sometimes these personal
wards arc taken care of in the future, but
more oiien tiiey are not. Everyone ac
quainted with Hie case of Lyons and the
"affectionate regard" in which lie is held
by the president, believes that he will be
taken care of somewhere down the line,
nut every day's delay is telling on the
man's ikivts, even on one as well beloved
as Lyons.
The expert way in which McKinley
handles these eases reminds one of the
able claim agent which a certain weL
known railroad employs. Os course it is
well known that no employe of the rail
road is allowed to ride on the “vestibult
limited.” The other day a negro laborer
was injured very' badly and as soon as he
recovered sufficiently to get out he ap
plied for damages. The road's claim agent
told him that he was very sorry that he
could do nothing for him; that it did seem
too bad, but he did not see what could be
lone. Then seeing the negro obstinate
raid threatening, said; “Old fellow, I am
truly sorry about this thing, for I know
you would like to get away from here. 1
tell you what I’ll do. 1 will get you a
ticket over the vestibule —but look here,
you must not tell any of the other negroes,
for they are all crazy to ride on the ves
tibule.”
The injured negro was more than glad
to accept such a recompense and went
away happy and serene.
So it is with those who have had thi
pleasure of feeling the president's hand
on their shoulders and hearing his voice
telling them that he will think of them ii
they will only leave their interests in his
keeping.
Old People.
Old people who require medicine to reg
ulate the bowels and kidneys will find the
true remedy in Electric Bitters. This med
icine does not stimulate and contains no
whisky nor other intoxicant, but acts as
a tonic and alterative. It acts mildly on
the stomach and bowels, adding strength
and giving tone to the organs, thereby aid
ing nature in the performance of the func
tions. Electric bitters is an excellent ap
petizer and aids digestion. Old people find
it just exactly what they need. I’rice 50

MACON SHIVERING.
The Cold Wave Came to Town this Morn
ing in Earnest.
The recent warm weather that Macon
has enjoyed makes the cold wave that
came to town yesterday felt more .percep
tably by the Macon people today, and the
ecal wagons are kept constantly on the
move.
The warm weather has been a blessing
to the poor of the city, and it will hardly
be necessary to do much charity work this
year. (Most of the poor have been, able to
keep up. and it is now probable that they
will have no trouble in getting along until
warm weather sets in.
THE THIRD TIME.
H. Kaplan Complains That Some One
Breaks Into His Feed House too Often.
Mr. H. Kaplan, at 159 Fourth street says
that his feed house has been broken into
four times in the past three weeks, and
various articles stolen therefrom. Mr.
Kaplan says that be has reported the mat
ter to the police, but so far has not been
able to catch the thief.
Numerous reports of petty larceny are
reported daily, and it is impossible to fer
ret out all the small cases when there is
no clew whatever, and the amounts stolen
are so small that it is hardly worth while
to look for the thief.

Hi* Mugs.
Up to a year ago Samuel Gineley was
the oldest barber in point of continuous
service in the interesting old county of
Bucks. Early last year, however, he re
tired from business, and most of the effects
in his store wore sold. lie held on to a set
of shaving mugs, however, which had the
merit of being undoubtedly the oldest and
most complete in the entire state. These
mugs, which are of blue and purple de
sign, each adorned with an old fashioned
landscape, were made in England over 100
years ago. They passed to Mr. Ginsley
from a relative, who had been a barber
many years before him. Each cup was
numbered, and for 60 years it had its spe
cial place upon the shelves of the little old
shop in Doylestown. The faces of many
dignified judges and great lawyers of the
county have been smothered in lather
brewed in these old cups, and many fine
tales might be told by each of these bits of
china if they could but speak. Mr. Ginsley
kept the cups for awhile after ho gave up
his shop, but they were recently purchased
by an old curiosity dealer in Bristol.—

MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY i 1898.
A Banquet at Siwa.
There were several round tables placed
down the middle of the room Candles
burned in candlesticks, all of which bad
betiu imported from Cairo at a fabulous i
cost luamps of olive oil were also about ■
the room. The food was more than a bun i
dant A whole sheep stuffed with rice,
raisins and pistachio nuts. soup, chicken, i
vegetables, succeeded each other. Then
came trays of delicious fruit—the trays
made of woven date fiber, the fruit, deli- I
cious black grapes, figs, a small variety of
watermelon, sweet lemons, pomegranates
and mandarins Our host did not sit down,
but di.ect.-d the servants, who were most
likely slaves. There is still some traffic in
slaves from Kura, the price of one of these
being a small roll of blue and black cloth,
such as the natives wear. I fancy most of
the Siv.-f.ns’ dislike of admitting Chris
tians to their town is the dread that then
slave trade will be interfered with. There
was no conversation during the meal; foi
any one to talk would have meant a tlisre
gard for the other more important func
tion of eating
After a long dinner wo rose and washed
our bands in brass basins, with water
poured out of ewers. Then all sat on the
divans round the room A servant then
walked round, showering rosewater over
us so liberally that another had to follow
with a towel and wipe us dry, and while
he did this a third stifled us with incense
This unpleasant ceremony cost our host a
large sum, for rosewater imported from
Egypt becomes of fabulous value and the
servants were unpleasantly liberal iu dis
pensing it.—Geographical Journal.

It might well be supposed that the troops
who do as much fighting as the British
soldiers abroad would be carried off in
large numbers. This was true in the past,
when the conditions favored disease, but.
in these days war is by no means as dan

When sickness runs away with you there
seems to be no stopping it. You lose
strength and weight and vitality and am
bition. Everything seems to go at once.
This is what is called "running down.” It
is because the blood is wrong. It lacks
the building-up elements. The digestive
powers are feeble and fail to get full nutri
tion out of the food.
There is nothing in the world so good to
correct this state of affairs as Dr. Fierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It puts a new
element into the blood. It fills it with the
life-giving red corpuscles. It gives power
to the digestive apparatus to get nutrition
out of the food. It purifies, enriches and
vitalizes the circulation so that every organ
cf the body is strengthened and built up.
It tones and invigorates the nerves. It
makes hard, healthy, muscular flesh. Tt
does not make useless fat like cod liver oil.
Corpulent people gain power and vitality
through the “Golden Medical Discovery”
without gaining any superfluous flesh.
A great deal of sickness and a great many
