MAYOR GORDON
1 MIME Mil
After His Arrival in New York
from Santiago After Re
signing Commission.
FOWL PLAY IS FEARED,
General Alarm Sent Out Through
the Police District of
New York City.
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 14. — Major Frank Gor
don is missing in New York and a general
alarm was sent out to the police districts
last night and every effort is being made
to locate the missing man.
Aeording to the report that was curent
last night in New York, Major Gordon had
mysteriously disappeared from his hotel
and no excuse could be found for his con
tinued absence.
After search was made at the city, it is
said that no trace of him could be found
and his friends are very uneasy about
him, as it is feared that he has been the
victim of foul play.
Major Gordon, who is a son of General
John B. Gordon, recently secured a com
mission as major in the volunteer army
and went to Cuba in command of a bat
talion in Col. Ray’s regiment of immunes.
Before the regiment left Macon charges
■were preferred against Major Gordon and
it is said a court martial was summoned
to pass upon the charges in Santiga, where
Ray’s regiment went.
Major Gordon resigned, however, before
the assembling of the courtmartial, and it
is said took transportation for New YorlA
It was stated in New York last night
that he disappeared almost immediately
after reaching the city, and that a thor
ough search had been made by the, police
but he could not be located.
The general alarm which was eent out to
the various police stations stated that the
missing man was Major Frank Gordon, of
Georgia, giving a minute description of the
man. The search was being made of the
city early this morning, but nothing de
finite was learned. It was not stated last
night where Major Gordon was stopping
when he disappeared.
Major Gordon is well known throughout
Georgia and in Atlanta. He was for a
number of years a citizen of DeKalb coun
ty and at one time contemplated running
for the office of state senator from that
county. Later he went to Atlanta and be
gan the practice of law, leaving this pro
fession to enter the war against Spain.

Three Doctor* in Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
"When you are sick what you like best
is to be chosen for a medicine in th* first
place: what experience tells you is best
to be chosen in the second place; what
reason (i. e.. Theory) says is best is to
be chosen in the last place. But if you can
get Dr. Inclination. Dr. Experience and
Dr. Reason to hold a consultation to
gether . they will give you the best ad
vice that can be taken."
When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclina
tion would recommend Dr. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, because it is pleasant and
safe to take. Dr. Experience would recom
mend it because it never fails’’to effect a
speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason
would recommend it because it is pre
pared on scientific principles and acts on
nature's plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions and restoring the
system to a natural and heakhy condi
tion. For sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons,

GIVEN MORE TIME,
Tradesman’s National Hopes
to Pay Out.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 14. —A committee of
! the directors of the Tradesmans’ national
bank of New York, consisting of Wm. H.
Wolverton, Juiiue Kaufmann and David
H. Bate, called on Charles D. Dawes, the
controller of the currency, yesterday in
l connection with the affairs of the bank.
Tae national bank examiner in charge of
the bank has reported to the controller
that the amount due depositors on Oct. 4,
1898, ’a as $2,409,000 and he estimates that
the short time bills favorable r or the
bank, which will be paid at maturity, to
gether with the each asests amount to 52 .r
200,610, leaving a balance of assets
i amounting to something over $1,u00,00,
i with which to provide for the difference
i of $203,390.
The examiner having carefully gone
over the assets, says that he believes a
sum largely in excess of the apparent de
ficit can be realized.
Under the circumstances the controller
announced to the committee that he would
give them further time in which to make
an effort to put the bank in a condition to
meet all its obligations cn demand.
Some of the larger depositors have an
nounced their willingness to accept cer
tificates of deposit payable at a later date
in order that this result may be reached.
It was also made a condition by the con
troller that he should select from the di
rectors of the bank the members to com
pose the liquidating committee, as he did
not desire these officers of the institution
through whose arbitrary action the Wool
Exchange loans were taken, to be con
nected with the liquidation. He announced
that he would give the committee a rea
sonable time to bring their efforts to a
conclusion and that he would then send a
representative from his office who, with
the New York bank examiner, would again
appraise the assets so as to enable him to
give his final decision with the most com
plete information.

Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hart, of Groton, S. D., "Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on mylungs; cough
set in and finally terminated in consump
tion. Four doctors gave me up, saying I
could live but a short time. I gave myself
up to my savior, determined if I could
not stay with my friends on earth I would
meet my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
I gave it a 'trial; took in all eight bottles.
It has cured me and thank God I am
saved and am now a well and healthy
woman." Trial bottles free at H. J. La

The well
known poem.
“ Curf z w Shall C
Not Ring To
night,” in /
which a young ‘
man by hanging to T
the curfew bell saves the & >
life of her lover condemn- \
ed to be executed at the Ut \
Tinging of the curfew, is V,
only one of a—
thousand strik
ing instances of
how a woman
will dare everything for x
love. wy 9
Women are readier to U z .
make heroic sacrifices •lyiX
than they are to take
the commonplace,
everyday precautions
which insure their great
est happiness. Most wo
men are careless about
their health. They for- j
get that physical weak- W-Yr
ness and disease will ix
wreck the fairest chance f x?
in life and shut them
out completely from
happy womanhood and wifehood.
Weak, bilious, dyspeptic women are
robbed of their natural attractiveness and
capacity. They lose healthy color and
energy and ambition. The blood becomes
poor and thin and laden with disease-germs.
The true antidote for this condition is Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It acts
directly upon the digestive powers and the
liver, creating pure, red, healthy blood free
from bilious impurities; it renovates every
organ and tissue of the body, building up
hard, elastic flesh and muscular strength
and imparting nerve power and permanent
vitality, which malt extracts do not give.
Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry Co., Ind.,
writes: “In the year of 1894 I was taken with
stomach trouble —nervous dyspepsia. There was
a coldness in mv stomach.'and a weight which
teemed like a rock. Everything that I ate gave
me great pain; I had a bearing down sensation;
was swelled across my stomach; had a ridge
around my right side, and in a short time I was
bloated. I was treated by three of our best phy
sicians but got no relief. I was so weak I could
not walk across the room without assistance.
Then Dr. Pierce's Goldeu Medical Discoverv was
recommended to me and I got it, and commenced
the use of it. I began to improve very fast after
the use of a few bottles. The physicians said y
disease was leading into pulmonarv consump
tion, and gave me up to die. I thank God tha.’
my cure is permanent.”
