HERALD AND GEORGIAN, SANDERSVILLE, GA.
CONGRESSMAN KILLED.
Col. Lester, Georgia Representative,
Falls Through §kylight in
Washington and Mangled.
\ Washington special says: Crash
ing through a skylight in the cupola
15 ieot above the roof of the thirteen
.tory Cairo apartment house, on Q
Street, about 9:30 o'clock Friday night
Colonel R. 0- Lester, representative
in congress from Savannah, Ga., was
t-o badly injured that ho died at 6:22
o'clock Saturday night.
Vllhough the physicians summoned
when first Colonel Lester was found,
unconscious, pronounced his injuries
fatal, he made a gallant fight for life.
In a shower of breaking glass his
body fell 30 feet to the 12th floor,
„nd his right leg was mangled, while
his left leg and shoulder were frac
tured. and hts head and body were
out and bruised.
After climbing a ladder and squeez
ing his body through a holo barely
large enough to admit a man, he
crawled out upon the frail glass work
In the darkness and it gave way un
der his weight.
The strange accident cannot be ex
plained satisfactorily, .although it is
believed by his relatives that he was
searching for his two little grand
children, Lester nnd Martha Randolph,
and believed they were hiding from
him In the garret.
After dinner he was in his usual
jovial spirit, chatting with the guests
nf the apartments, where he hnd lived
for more than eleven years during his
reasons in Washington.
About fto’clock Friday night, Colonel
Lester made his appearance on the
portico of the Cairo, and asked about
bis grnndchldren, who have been liv
ing with their grandparents sinco the
death of their mother. 'He appeared
to be disappointed beoause they were
not playing in their familiar way, and
he sauntered into the house. The chil
dren are six and eight years old, re
speclivoly. Although it was only a
few minutes nfter his appearance on
the portico that the accident occurred,
Colonel Lester did not ride up on the
elevator. It is regarded as odd that
he should climb the distance from the
ground to the top of the building,
which would fatigue an ordinary man.
No one saw him, however, after he
passed through the lobby of the apart
ments until he was picked up uncon
scious, bleeding from half a dozen
gashes. It is the theory of somo of
his friends that ho started out on
the roof of the hotel to see if the lit
tle ones were not there looking for
airship which made an ascent earlier
in the day.
Of the men now representing Geor
gia in the national congress, Colonel
Lester has had tho longest service.
He was elected as representative from
the first district for the flfty-flrst con
gress, and has served continuously
since—about seventeen years in all.
JURISDICTION OVER TROLLEYS.

Railway company, which operates a

This action marks somewhat of a
new departure, as the commission has
not herotofore assumed Jurisdiction
over any trolley lines in Georgia.

Impossible to Get Employment, n* Face

I —Cured by Cutlcura.
"Since the year 1804 1 have been trou
bled with a very bad case of eczema which
1 have spent hundreds of dollars trying to
euro, and 1 went to the hospital, but they
failed to cure me, nnd it was getting worse
all the time. Five week* ago my wife
bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and
one cake of Cuticura Soap, and 1 am
pleased to say that I am now completely
cured and well. It was impossible for me
to get employment, as my face, head and
body were covered with it. The eczema
first appeared on the top of my head,
and it had worked all the way around
down the back of my neck and around to
my throat, down my body and around the
hips. It itched so I would be obliged to
scratch it, and tlie flesh was raw. I am
now all well, and I will be pleased to rec
ommend the Cuticura Remedies to ail per
sona who wish a speedy and permanent
cure of skin diseases. Thomas M. Rossi-

Gen. Corbin Praises Manila.
Major-General Corbin contributes to
the Daily Bulletin, of Manila, an ad
mirable and valuable article on tho
future of the city as the trade centre
of the Orient. He points out that
Manila is only two days from Hong
kong, five from Singapore, eleven
from Colombo and thirteen from Syd
ney, Australia, and with this geo
graphical position, its fine harbor and
the magnificent modern dock system,
soon to be completed, it must be the
gateway of the vast Pacific trade.
Bended warehouses are needed, so
that goods may be supplied to Hong
kong on cable order in sixty hours
Instead of thirty days from San Fran
cisco. The General strongly advo
cates a free port, so that vessels with
goods for reshlpment to places out
side the Philippines may enter with
out payment of customs duties, har
bor and wharfage charges and annoy
ing formalities. He is chairman of
the committee appointed by the Gov
ernor-General to consider the shipping
interests of Manila, and thus his ar
ticle has the weight and importance
of a double authority.

8 000,000 bu. of apples and 11,000,000
trees; Missouri 6,000,000 bu. of apples
and 20,000,000 trees; Michigan 3,000,-

What JoyThey Bring
To Every Home
as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when In health—and
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an Injuri
ous or objectionable nature, and If at any time a remedial agent Is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial In effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come Into general favor in many millions of well Informed families, whose estimate
of its quality and excellence Is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because
they know It Is wholesome, simple and gentle In its action. We Inform all reputa
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented In an agreeable syrup In which the wholesome Californian blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it Is not a secret remedy and hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent
medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly
printed on the front of every package and that it is for sa'e in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having
printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fall to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Everyfamily should always have
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxative remedy is required.
Seeking Eastern Trade.
According to the Commercial Intel
ligence (London), British merchants
would do well to investigate tho pos
sibilities of trade in the lesser known
countries of the Bast. Recently one
of the steamers running between Aus
tralia and China took to Sydney N. S.
W., an experimental shipment of the
products of Zamboanga, a large town
and seaport at the southern end of
Mindanao, one of the largest islands
In the Philippines, in the Baailian
Straits. It is understood that the
Island has never been explored, des
pite its large population, but under
the American flag a good trade Is
springing up, and arrangements have
been made for making Zamboanga a
regular port of call by the Australia-
Chlna steamers, for whose use a
wharf is being constructed. Of the
natives in the interior there is little
or no precise information, but they
are believed to be peaceable and in
dustrious. The sample shipment re
ferred to consisted of various kinds
of timber, including ebony and teak;
also copra and bark. Representa
tives of Sydney exporting houses re
turning from the Philippines declare
that there exists a great commercial
future for the immense island world
of which the Philippines form a por
tion, but the trade requires a more
systematic opening up than has hith
erto prevailed.
Hang of a Skirt.
There are two rocks on which wom

the one Is the gaping placket, the other

Both of these, even the most Inexpe

avoid. Make the placket on the side,
and fasten with patent clasps sewn
close together.
