ESTABLISHED 1884 BRYAN WILL BE Mjmss When the Investigating Com mittee Reaches Jackson ville on Their Tour. SECRETARY ALGER’S ANSWER • I. tid- ing'ot Considered Satisfactory to the con Commission—WiliJHave to say com Give Another, ant' wai indt By Associated Press. New York, Oct. 10—A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Secretary Alger has sent an answer to the war investigating commission which in the words of one of the commissioners, “does not answer.” 'in the first place,” said this commis ier, “we asked who had been infiuen in selecting the camp sites. The only wer vouchsafed Is that General Lee se the camp at Jacksonville. I do not «r ink any other camp is mentioned. But • ils omission will no doubt be remedied in *ne supplemental report for which we will ( oa’l on Secretary Alger.” j* Secretary Alger’s replies includes about tb-’~e thousand words and in addition to the Jacksonville camp matter, covers only these points: The selection of Tampa as a point of embarkation: Rear Admiral Sa ups dispatch the cause of hastening troops to Santiago: Commodore Remey’s dispatch the cause of the subsequent delay of the troops. Discussion of these topics exhausts the report. No attempt seems have been made to explain the causes of the hardships suffer ed by the soldiers in Tampa. The matter is brushed aside with apparent content ment in the relation that Tampa was cgd ai;’ red a pood location and the most con -s*" lent point cf embarkation. recretaty Alger will be asked for a fuller answer. The program of the commission for this week is to have no witnesses except those who may be caught passing through •Washington. The time will ’be spent in reading the voluminous report of the ad jutant general, then the report of Surgeon General Steinberg and then the report of other heads cf dTfiarfrftehts. Memcbers of the commission expect to leave for a tour of the camps a week from Monday. They may go first to Camp Meade before it breaks up. They will go to Jacksonville where Colonel ;Bryan>will be one of the important witnesses. The tour of the camps will, it is thought, con sume about two weeks. The commission will return to Washington and later go to New Jersey city. In New York two prominent witnesses will be called —Colonel Theo. Roosevelt and R. B. Roosevelt. The latter made grave charges against the administration of Commissary General Eagan and he will be asked to substantiate them. After the ex amination in New York the commission will reurn to Washington before going to Santiago, which it is thought will be among,the last things done by the com mission. • SOLDIERS’ DEATH. ,-■ ✓ • Notes from the Pacific Slope Army in Wait ing. v By Associated Press.

MOTORMAN INSANE But Took His Car Through Without Acci dent By Associated Press. .Chicago. Oct. 10.—John B. Jessen, i gripman on the South State street cable line, became suddenly insane, and while in that condition »ran his train, loaded with .passengers, from Twen. .’-second to Madison street without accident. When the train was ready to make its return trip Jessen’s reason returned to him and realizing his condition, and fear ing a return of the mania, perhaps with disastrous results, he called to a police man and asked to be cared for. When taken to the police station Jessen was raving, but became quiet after a time. He has no recollection of bringing his ear from Twenty-second street up through the crowded business thoroughfares, and his responses to the conductor's signals were entirely mechanical. Several days ago Jessen was struck on the head by the acci dental releasing of a lever at the car barns amd severely injured. This is sup posed to be the cause of his insanity. AQAINST INDIANS.

Barber, the president’s broth er-in-law, was at the station with several friends of the family and Dr. Framfeulter, who wais called to take charge of Private John Barber, the sick soldier. The president and Mrs. McKinley were first out of the oar and were assisted by George B. Freass 'through the station to the carriage in waiting. As they approach ed the crowd bowed’slighltly, opened a pas sage way through which they passed. Mrs. McKinley was supported by the arm o<f the president:with the care’and e-uwe attention he always devotes to her personal com fort. He walked slowly to the carriage, his head bowed and his face a lititle pader than UEual. Mrs. Barber, Mrs. McKinley's sis ter. was next off the train, and was joined by her husband.

Elsewhere in The News will be found today an advertisement of the big firm of Eads, Neel & Company. It is a Carnival advertisement for the masses and is in teresting reading at this time of the year, for thousands of people who are consider ing their winter purchases of clothing. Eads, Neel & Co.’s stock of clothing is equal to anything to be found in the big gest stores in the country. It is the result of careful buying and good judgment. It is safe to say that the prices at this store are as low as are to be found anywhere in the country and a great deal lower than’ even at some of the places in the South. Tbe proprietors of the store, Genial John Eads and Joe Neel will be there to extend a most hearty welcome to the visitors to the Carnival. NEXT HOUSE. John T., Boufeuillet Will Certainly Be the Clerk. Atlanta Constitution: Although there will be practically no contest in the legis lature over the organization of either the house or the senate, there are certain to be many other contests that will serve to enliven the proceedings of both bodies during the first few days of the session. Major Frank Calloway will contest the clerkship of the house with Hon. John T. Boifeuillet, and, ry matter how easy the victory may be one way or the other, it looks now as though there* is sure to be a count of noses. The last opportunity for the legislature to elett the judges and soli citors of the superior court will come this year, and a third of the entire bench is to be named. After this the people will elect the judges and solicitors, as was provided for by the’ constitutional amendments adopted last Wednesday-, but they are to be non>inated by party primaries held in judicial districts. This latter fact should be borne in mind by good Democrats as an answer to the .familiar argument of the Populists that a voter in Dade county is no judge of the judicial qualities of a man in Glynn—which argument they have been putting out for the past month or more. There are several lively fights already on for judges- and solicitors, and they will come to a head just as scon as there are enough legislators here to begin work on. One candidate for judicial honors has rent ed as headquarters the rooms in the Kim ball house recently occupied by the Cand ler campaign committee and later by the Democratic state executive committee. They have just been abandoned by the lat ,ter and are being renovated. Other aspi rants for office at the hands of the legisla ture .have engaged or are arranging to en gage headquarters in the Kimball, and it looks very much as though the campaign would be opened some days before the law actually requires the presence of the law ’ makers here. This is due to the fact that many of the leading members of both the house and the senate have signified their intention of coming to Atlanta ahead of time, and it means that from now on the atmosphere hereabouts is going to quiver with political agitation. V4SITING ODDFELLOWS Will Be Entertained by the United Brothers’ Lodge, The visiting Odd Fellows who come to the Carnival will be entertained Friday night by the United Brothers Lodge No. 5, Friday night at the regular meeting cf the lodge. All the visiting members of the lodge and members of Franklin Lodge No. 2, and Macon Lodge No. 123, are invited to be present. Grand Matter Guzzard, of Columbus, will be present. A delightful time is anticipa ted and the lodge will keep open house for all visiting brothers. DEPOT CRASH. B Serious Accident Narrowly Averted at Depot.

PRICE TH ’ s( j CEMB SM MEASE Os FEVER GASES ~ I Whole State of Mississippi Is Now Practically Uuder Infection. EVEN THE SMAIL TOWNS Have a Number of Cases —Nine- teen Out of a Possible Hundred and Fifty, By Associated. Press. Jackson, M?es.. Oct. 10.—The yellow fever situation in Mississippi is growing rapidly worse and unless cool weather comes soon nearly the entire state bids fair to oecomo infected. Harris-ten, in Jefferson county, has a 'population of 150 people, yet 19 cases de veloped here yesterday and last night.

Lookout for the Sult that Uncle Sam Will Wear Tomorrow. • Look out for Uncle Sam tomorrow. He will be the most remarkable rnan in the parade and as some one has said “’tis the clothes that make the man.” This is quoted with all due deference to Professor Martin, who will wear Uncle Sam’s c’.o'hes. but it is a fact for without the garb if Uncle Sam the professor would be simple the excellent representative of Uncle Sam that is to be found in him on every day of the week. . In this case, however, it will be the man who made the clothes who should come in for a share of the credit for Uncle Sam. Goette, the tailor, is responsible for the suit that the old gentleman will wear to morrow. It is a gem of the tailor’s art as in fact is everything that Fred Goette un dertakes. For fit, style and material Goette has gone far ahead of everything in Macon. He is the bailor o( tailors and plays the deuce among the tailors all the time. ,The public is very writ aware of this fact and the proof of this is found in the rush of orders that Goette has had for the last month or six weeks. He cannot get workmen enough to fill the orders as quicifely as he would wish and has been obliged to turn- away orders. Now’, how ever, he has added to bis working fovce and is prepared to fill all of the orders that may come his way by working day and night. This he has been doing for the last six weeks, but every garment turned out of his store is perfection. It fact Goette refuses to allow his customers to wear a misfit. Everything must be perfect.in itsel* and this winter there will - be more well dressed men in Macon than ever before. Because the public is learning more and more every day that Goette is the man for a fit and for general satisfaction. Goette is now making up a large number of dress suits for the different events dur ing the Carnival. He has a practical monopoly on good style In his work on business suits and the selection of material in hjs stock is better this year than ever. If you want to be in the swim go to Goette, he is the proper man. STUART WAI SON Is Now the Proprietor of Strong’s Shoe Store. Among the shoe men of Macon none are more popular or better equipped for busi ness than Stuart At’atson, the proprietor of the Strong Shoe 'Store, for by that name the store will go for many years to come. Seme two or three weeks ago Mr. Wat son the stock and good will of this store end is prepared to-conduct it on the same lines that have made it famous. He has been in the shoe business in Ma con for the last 12 years and the greater part of that time has been spent in this store, the consequence is that he fully un derstands the needs of the regular cus tomers and of the general public of Macon.’ e has laid down the rule that nothing that goes out of this store will be in any sense of the w’ord inferior. The w’hole stock is practically new’ and of the very best makes. He has no fire sale or shoes damaged by fire in his stcck and yet he is able to offer his shoes at the same prices as those w’h.ich are put out at the fire sales now - going on. It wculd be wise for those people who value comfort for their feet to see this stock and make their selections here. Mr. Watson’s aim is to make customers and bold them and be believes that when he once cells a pair of shoes to man or wo man he will sell them shoes for the bal ance of their natural life. He will be found during the Carnival at the old store on Second street giving a hearty welcome to his many friends throughout this section of the state. 100 Boys "Wanted to sell Carnival Edi tions of The News.
