— 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. Taken by the Georgia State Railroad Commission. The Georgia state railroad commis sion called on the Atlanta Northern Railway company, which operates a trolley fine between Atlanta and Ma rietta, a distance of twenty miles, to file with the commission a schedule of iis rates, both passenger and freight. This action marks somewhat of a new departure, as the commission has not herotofore assumed Jurisdiction over any trolley lines in Georgia. FIFTY HORSES INCINERATED.

Impossible to Get Employment, n* Face and llody Were Covered With Sore* 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.

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. We would not have thought It, but it is asserted, by those who ought to know, that Illinois is the largest apple growing State In the Union.

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.
