“TECH” IDE W0N51.291 BE GUESS YOUNG MAN NOW AT TECHNOLOG- ICAL SCHOOL THE LUCKY PER SON IN A UNIQUE CONTEST. In Evznarille. Ind., lant zummrr an 14 • year old bpv wrote on a piece of paper the figures UdfaW; «“«’ because of this Ira D. McCoy, a student at the Techno logical school, received a iew days apo a check for Il.S®. ’ It was a guessing contest. At that time Mr. McCoy was a student in the high school at Evansville A Detroit company whs booming a new paper, and to adver tise the sheet this contest was inaugura ted. Thousands of coupons were sold for 10 cents each, each of which authorised the owner to guess, either what would be the total vote cast for governor in the states of lowa. Wisconsin and Massachu setts. or what would be the census report of the exact population of the Dominion of Canada. Mr. McCoy was editing a school paper at the time and came into possession o' three of these coupons. The Dominion ot Canada he kn-w very little about, from the population standpoint. Neither had he the remotest idea of the guuernatorial votes in lowa, Wisconsin and Massachu setts. But ther- were the coupons anu he tkade up h.s juiud he might as well try’ his luck. One of t ap.i was numbered R 59.445. On this coupe i Mr. McCoy scribbled the num ber I.SC£SL On the other two T»e wrote other numbers, which he has now forgot ten. Then he went on to school till va cation cwrae and forgot all about the guessing contest- Last fall Mr. MtCoy matriculated at the Tech, with thte purpose ®f making him self a mechanical engineer, when to his unbounded surprise he received a notifi cation that his guess of 1.542.551 had won the half of a capital prize of C.SM. Letters and telegrams passed rapidly, until on February Sth. his 19th birthday. Mr. Mc- Coy received a cheek for his half of the prise. The correct number was 1.M2.5** He had made a random guess and had missed the correct answer by one. the same lucky guess being made by a lady in Michigan. The was tberefon* divided between them. The money is now In the bank, which goes to show that If Mr. McCoy guessed at random he has more conservative ideas about taking care of his ready cas£. Mr. McCoy is a good looking chap, even In his shop clothes. He has eyes that look at one very pleasantly through his glasses. and he. talks like a manly, straight-forward young man. The prixe of f1.25® was all the more welcome to him because he is educating himself and is at the Technological school with the money which he made by his own work. He is a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at!d a popular lad with his class mates. REVOLUTION GAINS; ~ REBELS GET STRENGT# WTLLEMSTADT. Island of Curocoa. Feb. 11—Gen.

Keller, of Girard, Kans., is a veteran who saw long and hard ser vice tn the civil war with the One Hun dred and Flfty-fonrth Indiana volunteers and he tells many a story of bivouac and battle. He was recounting some of his adventures to a reporter the other day. "Os all my experiences in the war and out ot it.” he said, "one Is most often uppermost In my thoughts. I had strain ed my hip tn some manner but 1 thought 1 had got over it all right. About two years alter that however, when 1 was plowing for wheat I gave out again in that spot: Rheumatism set in and I had to quit work. I tried one thing after the other to get some relief from the pain but nothing that I took helped me at all and I became discouraged. "The cords of my left leg were drawn so badly that I could not straighten it out at all. nor could 1 sit down. My hip and knee pained me and I suffered hor ribly. At times also I bad nervous head ache. After trying a number of things, my daughter. Mrs. Fry, who had been cured of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, induced me to try that remedy. My case was a very stubborn one and 1 took five boxes of the pills before I could see much change out I kept on and they certainly did wonders for me. The cords in my leg began to slacken and before long it lim bered so thab I could use it again and be able to sit down. My kidneys had been bad and the pills soon made them bet ter. too. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are a grand, good medicine and I recommend them to all who suffer as I did.” The real. cause of rheumatism Is the presence of acid hr the blood, which Ir ritates the sensitive uesues that united the joints and.cover the muscles, thus causing those indescribable tortures which rheumatic sufferers endure. Years ago those afflicted were bled; as If taking away some of the impure blood could remedy the balance. This folly has been abandoned and today physicians prescribe and druggists recommend the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, as .these marvelous vegetable pills go directly to the seat of the trouble, exerting a powerful influence* in purify ing and enriching the blood by eliminat ing poisonous elements and renewing health-giving force, thus making a po tent remedy for curing this disease. Dr. Williams' rtnk Pills for P«le Peo ple are an unfailing specific for all dis eases arising from impoverished blood or shattered nerves. They cure not only rheumatism but locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis.

VESTAL STEPP AND JOHN WIL- SON THE VICTIMS. KYLE, Ga., Feb. 10.-As a result of a drunken row In Grant Plowman’s whiskey shop.at Paristown. one mile and a half north of here, on Saturday afternoon about five o'clock. Vestal Stepp now lies dead, with a bullet hole through his head, and John Wilson is in a dying condition. Both men were shot by Joe Weaver, a young min 21 years old. Both Weaver and Stepp had been drink ing heavily, but Wilson had not. Weaver and Stepp got into a dispute over a trivial matter and when Stepp reached for his pistol. Weaver fired at him. the ball entering his head to the left of bis nose. Seeing Stepp was snot Wil son jumped between them and told Wea ver not to shoot again, whereupon Weaver shot him, the ball penetrating the abdo men. Weaver, after shooting both men. ran from the room, and after emptying his pistol In the air, left the place and has not been heard from since. Doctors McCamey, Lewis and Garrett, of Ducktown, Tenn., reached the place of the shooting as soon as possible, but soon saw they could do no good, for Stepp Was already dead, and Wilson nearly so. The place of the shooting was a small, dirty room about 14x20 feet, containing a bed. large barrel of whiskey and a few chalrs—a place quite suggestive of such an affair as this. Stepp was known throughout this sec tion as quite a wild, desperate, fellow, having several times resisted the enforce ment of the law. He was thirty years of age and was unmarried. Mr. Wilson lives at Copper Hill. Tenn., and has a wife and two children. He worked at the mines of the Tennessee Copper company. Wilson is Dead of Weaver's Shot. KYLE, Ga.. Feb. 11.—Mr. John Wilson, who was shot by JoagWeaver last Satur day afternoon in GrS»t Plowman's whis key shop at Paristown. a place one mile anl a half north of here, was removed to x his home at Copper HUI. Tenn., Sunday,, but died in a few minutes after reaching home. Before he died he told several among them Plowman himself, that Grant Plowman was the cause of the whole affair, both his own death and that of Vestal Stepp, who was shot and in stantly killed at the same time. Conse quently a warrant was issued for Plow man and J. M. Ray was stationed to guard hhn until he could be tried for be ing an accessory to the crime yesterday morning at 10 a. m. Esquire Mathews, of Epworth, called the court to order and the witnesses for the state were heard from. Mr. Will Godfrey was the only eye witness, but he did not give much evi dence. so the principle point of the state was the dying testimony of Wilson that ♦lowman was the cause of the whole af fair. The judge refused to bind Plowman over because he thought Wilson might have thought Plowman responsible be cause he kept the whisky shop. tyner"recFvership~ DISMISSED MONDAY. Judge William T.

TO DRIVE CUBA TOOURARMS BY TARIFF CONGRESS MAY DECREASE TAR- IFF ONLY ENOUGH TO FORCE CUBA TO SEEK ANNEX- ATION. WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 11.-Though representatives from the Cuban Planters’ association have declared tnat a reduction of 50 per cent In the American tariff on Cuban products is the minimum which will serve to avert the industrial and financial disaster now pending in the is land. it is generally believed mat a reduc tion of not more than 25 per cent will be made by this congress. A canvass of t>e southern representatives made yesterday 'disclosed this situation. it appears that the southern Demo crats Wifi not favor a greater reduction than 25 per cent because a larger reduc tion would be Injurious to American and especially southern industries and prod ucts. A reduction of 50 per cent, they maintain, would be to let down the bars so lhat Cuban sugar and tobacco mignt cOme into this country and push our own sugar and tobacco out of the markets. Republicans from the north and east are against the proposed sweeping reduction or reciprocity, not only to protect Amer ican industries, but to force Cuba to come to Wasnington with outstretched arms and beg for annexation. That it is believed the time is ripe for maneuvers towards annexation of Cuba is clearly shown by the introduction tills week ot the bill by Representative New lands, of Nevada, to reduce the tariff on Cuban sugar of only this year’s crop by 25 per cent and at the same time in viting the republic to become a part of the United states, first as a territory and later as a state to be Known, as the state ot Cuba. The attitude of southern congressmen in general towards Cuba is outlined clear ty in the following interview with one of the Democratic leaders from the south. ••Reciprocity,” he said, "is another name for a low tanff. The Democratic party, ot course, is in favor of a low tariff, but in making a tariff rate tor the benefit ot Cuba naturally we do not wish, if possible to avoid it, to do anything which would be injurious to American industries and interests. “Our regions with Cuba are peculiar. We went to war with Spain tor tne pur pose of breaking the grasp of her ruth less despotism over the Pearl of the An tilles. Congress expressly declared that the United States harbored no thought of territorial aggrandizement, and guar anteed. by a special act, that Cuba should have a free, staple and independent form of government, an act unparallelled l in history for generosity and friendship. Our military forces, on ' land and sea, did all the fighting, and our government paid all the expenses of that conflict. “But what was the result? The politi cal firebrands of Cuba abused us for com ing to their rescue In the hour of nation al disaster and for having taken the Span ish yoke from their necks. Because, of this it is true today that many-of. the former friends of Cuba, generous, patri otic, liberty-loving men, do not now cher ish any enthusiastic sentiment of sympa thy for the Cubans, as u nationality. It Is well on account of the ingratitude they have shown towards us, as manifested by the conduct and utterances of Cuba's prominent leaders, who, after having per mitted us to uo all the fighting and re ceiving the benefit of our losses in blood and treasure,,have persistently endeav ored to make the World believe that we are their political enemies instead of their friends. “The class of congressmen whose ardor in the interest of Cuba has so cooled, and they are numerous, are the ones who are saying: ‘We have already done for Cuba .more than we ought to have done.’ They say they have been disillusioned. They are opposed to any further legislation for me special benefit of Cuba. They claim that reciprocity treaties between the Uni ted States and Cuba, in view the pecu liar relations existing between them, would be unconstitutional and unwise. They think we are not under any obli gation. legal or moral, through the instru mentality of such treaties, to take anv further care of the Cuban people, to set them more nrmly on their feet, or to in augurate a new national policy for the en richment of the island at the expense or to the disadvantage of any section or territorial division of the United States. “Sugar and tobacco being Cuba’s chief products it is argued that the sugar in dustry in Louisiana, the beet trade in the west, and. the tobacco trade in Virginia ahd both Carolinas will be severely hurt by a reduction of the Cuban tariff. These gentlemen. It may be argued, are pessi mists; but they have votes; and they are fast reaching the conclusion that Cuba must Either stand alone or else become annexed to the United States in order thereby to acquire our farther protec tion and assistance. “I do net believe that any reduction in the tariff greater than 25 per cent will ever be made by this congress, and I am not alone in this belief. Ask any of the members you may meet. They will tell you. if they speak frankly, that this re duction is all Cuba Is likely to get." NEGRO RESISTS TrRE?F; SHOT DEAD BY OFFICER Ed Reynolds, a desperate negro, was shot and killed Monday by Consta ble 8. A. Greer, of the Edgewood dis trict. after a fierce struggle and a hot chase. Greer shot the negro only as a last recourse, and on being threatened himself with death. Reynolds lived In East Atlanta, on the Magazine road. Greer went after the man twice, but failed to find him at home, so he started out a third time this morning. This time he was more fortu nate. as Reynolds was in his house. On being,toid the officer had come to arrest him. the negro became abusive, and re /u«<d to submit, although his wife joined with the constable in advising him to ga quietly. Reynolds nevertheless pulled a knife, and attacked Greer. A desperate struggle followed, in which the negro was finally overcome and the knife taken from him. He then agreed to go with the officer, but asked to be allowed to get hts coat. To this Greer assented, when the negro under the pretense of securing his coat, slipped out a side door and fled down the street, getting two or three blocks ahead of the constable. Greer followed as quickly as he could, calling to the negro to stop. Suddenly the negro paused, picked up a handful of stones and began to hurl them back as he ran. Greer then drew his pistol and shot twice, not aiming at the fugi tive. but hoping to frighten him into sub mission. The pistol shots seemed, however, to Infuriate Reynolds for he stopped de liberately, and, waiting with two big rocks in either hand, cursed his pursuer, and swore he would kill him If he ap proached. Greer then fired at him, and the negro fell. tod Best Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. Use rej in time.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-The mys tery surrounding tne murder of 16-year old Rosa Fuller, whose nude body was found In an unoccupied building in Sutter street, deepens. It is practically certain that the girl was chloroformed and then strangled. Although she disappeared four weeks ago, when she met a man calling hlm eelf Ben Bennett, in answer to an adver tisement for a girl to care for a child, the autopsy of the surgeon is positive that she was killed within the last ten days. Evidence that she was strangled is found in the fact that there were abras ions on her neck and that a cord, small but strong and measuring seven feet in length, with a how knot at one end was picked up in the room. On the strands were blood stains. Two handkerchief® covered with blood were also found. A clumsy attempt had been made to burn the handkerchiefs, but they were only partially destroyed. There was nothing to indicate that the girl and Bennett, who under the name of C. B. Hawkins, is believed to have rented the house, lived there. Neither water nor gas had been turned on and the neighbors heard no sounds from the place. Among the few things found in the place was a large scrap of paper torn from The Denver Post of January 9. The man known as Bennett or Hawk ins secured the key to the house on the day before the paper lett the press in Denver and as he alone had access to the place it was he alone who could have carried the scrap of paper there. A dispatch from Muncie. Ind., says that three months ago there disappeared from that place a barkeeper, who Is alleged to have taken away 13,600 belonging to Mrs. Sarah ,/iiliams. The police of the coun try have been requested to arrest him. His description answers that of C. B. Hawkins or John Bennett, who rented the Sutter street residence. The police, however, are without a positive clew to the supposed murderer’s identity. An alibi has been established for M. A. Salabrienk. whose card was found in the purse of the dead girl. It was ascer tained that he sailed for China on the evening of the 11th of January, several hours before the girl’s disappearance. STOPS THE COUCH AND WORKS OFF THE COLD.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Fetr 10.-At the meeting of the Conrrr.erelal cHub an effort was made to have the club endorse the ship subsidy bill before congress provided the subsidy is granted upon a tonnage ruthen than a speed basis. It was repre sented by the friends of Congressman Un derwood. of this district, that an endorse ment of the bill meant the retirement of Mr. Underwood. A compromise was fi nally reached and the matter wasf referred to the transportation committee of the clpb. Among other matters transacted by the club was the adoptlqn of a resolution inviting A. K. McClure, of Philadelphia, and the Chinese Minister. Mr. Wu, to ad dress the people of Birmingham on the occasion of the approaching visit to this section next month. It is deemed proba ble that the invitation will be accepted by both gentlemen, Mr. McClure being a friend of Birmingham and Mr. Wu being a member of the former's southern trip party being now made up. COURT WILL DIRECT DISTRIBUTION OF $92,000 MACON. Feb. 11.—Walter D. Lamar, as one of the executors of the will of the late Henry J. Lamar, has filed in the su perior court a petition asking for direc tion of the court in the matter of the distribution of the $92 000 profits which have accrued to the estate from the con duct of the three drug stores left by the testator. The businesses were run for five years according to the terms of the will, but the petitioner says the profits have not been divided because he and his co-executor, Mr. Henry J. Lamar, could not agree as to how this should be done, and the court is asked to take a hand. Judge Felton has issued an order requiring a showing to be made at the March term of court. CEMEITiTFOUHD NEAR SELMA, ALA. - - -- SAID TO BE OF FINE QUALITY AND COMPANY IS FORMED TO DE-, VELOP PROPERTY. w SELMA, Ala., Feb. 11.—An almost in exhaustible supply of the substance from which cement is made, was found a few days ago on the plantation of Mr. J. F. Milhouse. which is situated between Orr ville and Martin station on the Louis ville and Nashville railroad, near Selma. The discovery cf this mineral substance was accidently made a f w days ago when Mr. Milhouse was having a quantity of gravel dug from a sand pit on hts plan tation. After the discovery was made Mr. Milhouse sent to the cement works at Demopolis for the expert that is employ ed at those works and after going to the plantation and examining the place the expert pronounced the mineral to be the best quality from which cement is made. It is very probable that a company will be formed here for the purpose of developing this find and manufacuring the cement. DYNAMITE BALLOONS TO INDUCE RAINFALL RICHMOND, Ind..

C., Feb. 10.—Charlestdn enjoyed a floral parade today the like of which is seldom seen north or south. It was a pa rade worth traveling miles to see, so pret tily were traps decorated and so beauti ful and charming the women who occu pied them. The exposition grounds were crowded when the parade entered and the grand stand on the race track was filled to over flowing. Queen Flora, Accompanied by more than 40 maids of honor and 75 traps from the city, made a splendid picture to see. The parade was lead by the first United States Artillery band and Vlttur’s drum corps of Atlanta. The drummer boys scored a tremendous hit with the green uniforms and red caps. The regular troops came first and following were the Gate City Guard, commanded by Captain James O’Neill. Following the military commands were the decorated traps, and then came Gov ernor Candler as the guest of honor. In the carriage with the governor was Mrs. Hugh Hagan, Mrs. W. L, Peel and Col onel Dan Fogarty. Mrs. Joseph Thomp son chaperoned the Georgia maids of honor. Among the young ladies from Georgia were Miss Etta Mae Hynds, of Gainesville; Miss Frances Meldrim, of Sa vannah; Miss Isabelle Thomas, of Athens; Miss Martha Johnston, of Macon; Miss Susan Calhoun, of Atlanta. Governor Candler and party arrived here early this morning. The trip over was a very pleasant one, and the mem bers of the staff and the Gate City Guard made things lively. At Union Point the party was joined by “Judge and Mrs. Hamilton McWhorter, Miss Camilla McWhorter, and Mrs. J. H. McWhorter. At Augusta the members of the staff were taken in charge by Colonel Dyer and-driven to Stubb s case, where an ex cellent dinner was served. The party was met at the train this morning by expo sition officials, and Governor Candler was taken to the Charleston hotel, where he has his headquarters. The maius of honor are quartered at the St. John’s. Some of the members of the staff, like the members of the Guard, are living in the Pullman in which they came. Tomorrow there wll be another big military parade and Governor Candler will review the troops. The Charlestonians are doing every thing possible for the Georgia visitors. In the parade this morning the Georgians were loudly applauded. Governor Cand ler was forced to keep his hat off most of the way while in the grounds, while the Gate City Guard and Vlttur’s drum corps were constantly, receiving ovations.

DIGNnfOF”COiIRTS MW 8E TAKEN FROMM SUPREME COURT MAY DECIDE THAT CITY COURTS ARE ON A PAR WITH THE JUSTICE COURTS. The question of whether attorneys have the right to appeal cases direct from the two branches of the city court to the su preme court will be decided by the su preme court of Georgia within the next few weeks. The matter was brought up by Chief Justice Simmons, who was presiding, dur ing the session Monday, and while a case In which Burton Smith was interest-! ed was being considered. The case had been taken to the supreme court from Judge Reid's court. The supreme court expressed a doubt about the’ legality of appealing cases without taking them to the superior court.- If it becomes necessary to take cases to* the superior court from the two branches of the city court cfn writs of certiorari in stead of taking them to the supreme court on bills of Exceptions, the two branches of the city court will be practically placed on a par with the justice courts and much of their dignity will be gone. The justices requested the attorneys to submit briefs upon the question and will render a decision within a short time. The supreme court is taking up the matter en tirely upon Its own motion,' . 3
