MESSIGE
AT CABINET MEETING FRIDAY
MORNING MESSAGE TO CON
GRESS AND CANAL WERE
BRIEFLY DISCUSSED.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 21 President
Roosevelt arrived here at 8 o’clock this
morning on the Southern railway.
A little crowd was at the station to
witness his return. As he left the train
he shook hands with the engineer and
fireman and thanked them for the safe
run they had made.
The president and Secretary Cortelyou
were driven direct to the white house
The president reached his office this
morning before W o’clock. Prior to the
meeting of the cabinet, which had been
called for 11 o’clock, the president found
time to hold brief interviews with Sena
tors Burrows, of Michigan; Scott, of West
Virginia, and Lodge, of Massachusetts.
During the next four or five days, as
opportunity may offer, the president will
put the finishing touches upon his an
nual message to congress. It Is under
stood that the message will be sent to con
gress on the second day of the approach
ing session. Tuesday. December 2. owing
to the fact that the deaths of members
of both houses have occurred during the
recess, which will necessitate an adjourn
ment on Monday.
The doctument is almost complete, but
some points of It are yet to be written
finally and the whole revised. During the
early days of next week the president will
consult on parts of his message with Re
publican leaders in congress.

GEORGE SHEPARD
DIES BE HIS
OWN HAND
MACON MAN TELLS PEOPLE OF
HIS INTENTION AND WALKS
INTO THE WOODS FOR
* THE DEED.
MACON. Ga.. Nov. 20.—The details of a
suicide reached the city yesterday after
noon. George Sheppard took laudanum
and shot himself through the heart with
a Smith A Wesson to make death doubly’
sure. The affair occurred five miles from
the city on the road to Milledgeville.
The body was found this morning by an
old colored man named Edmund Bates,
in the woods about 100 yards from the pub
lic highway. In the pockets was found
832.70 and a note addressed to a young
lady.
No one knows the cause of the tragedy.
Sheppard was about 28 years of age and
has always been of sound mind and tem
perate habits.
The remains were carried to Hart's un
dertaking establishment and embalmed.
Mr. Sheppard has a brother in Sanders
ville. Mr. David Sheppard, and also rela
tives in Cordele'. The brother In San
dersville was wired for instructions as to
the disposition of the body.
Yesterday afternoon Sheppard went to
the Bibb mills and asked to see Tray
wick, who is an operator at the mills.
The two men walked up the street
When the two men got about four miles
out on th* road to Milledgeville Sheppard
finally told Tray wick:
“I have made up my mind to kill my
self. You see here what I have got?”
While saying this he held up a bottle
of laudanum for Traywick to see and the
la* ter tried to take ft from him, and
also tried every persuasion to induce him
to change his purpose. Traywick found
himself in the position of being alone on
the road with a man who had made up his
mind to kill himself. His first impulse
was to get Sheppard to go back to town,
but he could not. He finally decided to
go back to East Macon himself and get
help. He did go tack and told the story
and a search was made, but nothing of
Sheppard was found until this morning.
It was learned that Sheppard had been
to the negio's house the evening before
and that he had called out the whole fam
ily in —e yard and told them that he
was going to kill himself and that he
wanted them to be witnesses that he alone
was going to do the deed.
He then turned and went up the road
and said that he was going to Milledge
ville. but that he did not think that he
would ever get there. After going a short
distance he left the road and went into
the woods, where he took the laudanum
and sent the bullet through his heart.

MOUNTAIN’S HEIGHTS
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., Nov. 21.—The
details of the suicide of Charles Cravens
Anderson, as given in The Journal yes
terday, are very simple. Mr. Anderson
got up early, as was his custom, and his
family supposed that he had gone out
for a walk just before breakfast, as he
nearly always did. A neighbor coming
down the road heard tw’o pistol shots,
but thought nothing of the matter until
he got to the front of the Anderson home
and found Mr. Anderson lying in the
road with blood pouring from his mouth,
nose and ears. A physician was hastily
summonetf but the man was breathing his
last.
He lived not over ten minutes after the
shot was fired. Both balls found lodg
ment in the skull at the base of the brain,
and he died from loss of blood, every drop
in his body pouring out upon the ground
and running down the side of the moun
tain in a stream.
The deed was caused by temporary in
sanity, resulting from business troubles.
About ten days ago he filed a petition in
bankruptcy, giving his liabilities at 86.-
800, with practically no assets except oil
stock. This created something of a sensa
tion. The saddest feature of the affair Is
the recently married wife he leaves heart
broken. She was Miss Julia Leach, and
was the queen of the third spring festival,
and one of the society leaders of the city.
He leaves three children by his first
wife, who was Miss Margaret Beach
man. and who died some years ago.
AMERICAN
TO DEATH BY ACCIDENT
PARIS, Nov. a.—Helen Gore, said to
be an American, was killed by a revolver
shot Wednesday in apartment occupied
by Jean De Rydzenski an actor of the
Imperial theatre of St. Petersburg. De
Rydzenski at first said Miss Gore com
mitted suicide, but subsequently he de
clared the revolver went off accidentally.
Consul General Gowdy is personally in
vestigating the death of Miss Gore, who*
was completing her musical education
here and resided In the fashionable quar
ter of Passy.
When found Wednesday evening vic
tim was unconscious and had a bullet
wound over her right eye. Two doctors
were summoned to attend her, but she
died without regaining consciousness.
The police have accepted the theory of
the young Russian singer, who was in the
room at the time, that the shooting was
the result of an accident during a scuf
fle for the possession of the weapon.
De Rydzenski comes of a rich and none
Russian family. He is the son of a Rus
sian general and he has uncles who hold
high positions in the government.
Miss Gore lived in the Avenue de La
Grande Armee. not far from the apart
ment of the Russian where the tragedy
occurred.
The affair has caused much excitement
in that locality, and the police are con
tinuing their investigation.

TO NICIRJGUA
FBESH HOPE
IS BORN
COLOMBIA’S DELAY AND HESI
TANCY MAY CARRY COVETED
GOAL INTO TERRITORY OF
HER NEIGHBORS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—The check in
the negotiations with Colombia relative
to the Panama canal has given great
encouragement to the friends of the Ni
caragua project and the first evidence
of renewed activity on their part was the
appearance at state department yesterday
of Senor Correa, Nicaraguan minister to
Washington. .
Secretary Hay never has taken the
ground that the negotiations with Nicar
agua and Costa Rica were terminated by
the passage of the Spooner amendment.
On the contrary, he has felt called on to
direct the attention of the Colombian
.government at moments when the nego
tiations have lagged or unseemly delay
intervened, to the fact that under section
four of the Spooner act, if he is unable
to obtain a satisfactory title from the
Panama company and the control of the
necessary territory in Columbia by treaty,
then he is required to obtain such terri
tory from Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
The present hatch in the Colombian ne
gotiations has, Itherefore, encouraged the
Nicaraguan comingent, and it is now said
to be probable that to emphasize the re
peated declaration that the' act of Con
gress in the passage of the' Spooner
amendment did not finally commit th*
United States to the acceptance of the
Panama route.
Secretary Hay may proceed -to draw up
a treaty with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
On the lines of the protocols laid before
the last senate and submit it to the sen
ate at its next session, along with such
a treaty with Colombia as he may be
able to conclude. On this way the senate
itself might decide whether or not the
Colombian treaty Is satisfactory, and if it
shduld decide in the negative, taen it will
have at hand the Nicaragua-Costa Rican
treaties, so that there will be no excuse
for delay in the canal project.
As for the Colombian negotiations, it
can be stated that the United States has
new gone to the practical end of the con
cessions it is willing to make. It has
recieved from Colombia a memorandum
noting a number of Objections to its pro
posed treaty. Some of these have been
admitted to be well taken, but the great
majority have been regarded as either in
contradiction of the terms of the Spooner
act or inadmissible for other reasons
The Colombian minister here has been
notified of the decision reached anu is ex
pected to make further r«d‘iy either ac
cepting or rejecting our last proposition.
The state department does not regard the
objections lodged by Colombia as ma
terial; the Colombians, on their part,
think they are vital. Such, for instance,
is the difference over the tenure of the
United States in the canal strip.
This has been alluded to before as one
easy of adjustment, but It now anpears
that the Colombians do not see their way
to accepting any of the compromising
propositions on this point offered by the
United States.
Prominent senators wjbo have been
consulted by the state department, have
indicate! their strong opposition to the
acceptance of a hundred years lease with
a provision of renewal. Nothing less than
"perpetual control,” as set down in the
act, will satisfy them. The Colombians
say that would be a violation of their
constitution, but a careful reading of the
Colombian constitution by the officials
here does not satisfy them that there is
any such prohibition against alienation
of territory as is represented.
The president might have played in bet
ter luck had he hunted bear In Virginia
and turkey In Mississippi. Still, there's
no telling—both states arc safely Demo
cratic.

It is reported that the governor will de

A TUG OF WAR.
Coffee Puts Up a Grand Fight.
Among the best of judges of good things
in the food line, is the groceryman or his
wife. They know why many of their
customers purchase certain foods.
The wife of a groceryman in Carthage,
New York, says: "I have always been a
lover of coffee, and therefore, drank a
great deal of it. About a year and a
half ago. I became convinced that it was
the cause of my headaches and torpid
liver, and resolved to give it up, although
the resolution caused me no small strug
gle, but Postum came to the rescue. From
that time on, coffee has never found a
place on our table, except for company,
and then we always feel a dull headache
throughout the day for having indulged.
When I gave up coffee and commenced
the use of Postum I was an habitual suf
ferer from headache. I now find myself
entirely free from it, and what Is more,
have regained my clear complexion which
I had supposed was gone forever.
I never lose an opportunity to speak In
favor of Postum, and have Induced many
families to give it a trial, and they are
Invariably pleased with it.” Name giv

A TEST EXPERIMENT.
Peculiar Power Possessed By a New
Medicine.
Os new discoveries there is no end. but one of
the most recent, most remarkable find one which
will prove invaluable to thousands of people, is
a discovery which it Is believed will take the
place of all other remedies for the cure of those
common and obstinate diseases, dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. This discovery is not a loudly
advertised, secret patent medicine, but is a
scientific combination of wholesome, perfectly
harmless vegetable essences, fruit salts, pure
pepsin and bismuth.

These remedies are combined in lozenge form,
pleasant to take, and will preserve their good
qualities Indefinitely, whereas all liquid medi
cines rapidly lose whatever good qualities they
may have had as soon as uncorked and exposed
to the air.
This preparation is called Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets and it is claimed that one of these tab
lets or lozenges will digest from 300 to 8,000
times its own weight of meat, eggs and other
wholesome food. And this claim has been prov
en by actual experiments in the following man
ner. A hard boiled egg cut into small pieces
was placed in a bottle containing warm water
heated to ninety-eight degrees (dr blood he<t),
one of these Tablets was then placed in the
bottle and the proper temperature maintaified
for three hours and a half, at the end Os
which time the egg was as completely digested
as it would have been in a healthy stomach.
This experiment was undertaken to demonstrate
that what it would do in the bottle it would
also do In the stomach, hence its unquestionable
value tn the cure of dyspepsia and weak diges
tion. Very few people are free from some form
of indigestion, but scarcely two will have the
same symptoms. Some will suffer most from
distress after eating, bloating from gas in the
stomach and bowgls, others have acid dyspepsia
or heartburn, others palpitation or headaches,
sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoul
der blades, extreme nervousness as In nervou*
dyspepsia, but they all have Mtrne. cause, failure
to properly digest what is eaten. The stomach
must have rest and assistance, and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets give it both, by digesting the
food for it and in a short time It is restored to
Its normal action and vigor. At same time the
Tablets are so harmless that a ghlld take
them with benefit. This new preparation has al
ready made many astonishing cures, as for In
stance, the following:
After using only One package of Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets I have »reeetved such great and
unexpected benefit that I wish to express my
sincere gratitude. In fact it has been Six months
since I took the packa<e And I ha,vA not hud
one particle of distress or difficulty since. And
all this In the face of the fact that the bast
doctors I consulted told me my case was Chron
ic Dyspepsia and absolutely lheurable as I htd
suffered twenty-five years. I distributed hklf a
dozen packages among my friends here Whe» Are
very anxious to try this remedy.

DYKESIoUN DOVER
FOR KILLING WYNNE
COCHRAN. Ga., Nov. JO.—Burley Dykes,
charged with the murder of Bob Wynne,
eight miles below here, last 'Sunday
morning, was tried before a magistrate’s
court today, with the result that he was
held over to await the action of the grand
jury under a bond of 81.000, the offense
set out in the commitment being volunta
ry manslaughter. Justices George Hen
dricks and Charles Harris presided over
the court.
From the evidence, it appears that Dykes
was justifiable. The trouble between the
young men dates back over several
months. They lived on adjoining farmfc,
and several small matters of dispute final
ly rounded into a deadly feud, which re
sulted in the death of Wynne. Sunday
morning, when the shooting occurred,
Dykes, accompanied by a.friend, was re
turning home in his buggy, when Wynne
met them in a lane. He stopped the bug
gy and called to Dykes that he (Wynne)
had him (Dykes) now, and that mattefs
had to be settled. Each man began to
draw his gun. Dykes got his into opera
tion first and shot Wynne five or six
times at close range, each shot taking
effect. Wynne died immediately, and
Dykes surrendered to the authorities.
The killing is greatly regretted, as each
of the young men is from good family,
and are themselves well thought of.

was an old negro from Aiken, 8. C., who
had tanked up on liquor and proceeded
to paint the town red, and then resisted
arrest so strenuously that it required four
of the strongest policemen to land him
in the guardhouse. When sobered up and
brought forth for trial he claimed to be
132 years old. His statement wks not be

no doubt of the fact that he was a cen
tenarian.
His name is Fred Jones, and he wts
born in Richmond county, and before the
war was the property of the father of
Mr. George Heckle, the chief marshal of
Summerville. He remembers the visit Os
George Washington to Augusta, and dur

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.—Aust Lauber, 7
years old, has been killed near his home
in Brooklyn by Peter Jumphoff, a pigeon
fancier. Lauber, with some playmates,
was on the roof of a barn reading, when
Jumphoff discovered a "coaxer” among
hia pigeon cotes.
Securing a rifle, he fired at the strange
bird, which was endeavoring to lead away
his pets. The rifle ball passed through
the pigeon and to the adjoining building,
where the children were studying their
lessons in open air. Lauber was sitting
near the edge of the roof. The bullet
struck and killed him instantly, his body
falling to the street, 25 feet below.
Jumphoff was horrified at the result of
his marksmanship. He was arrested on a
charge of homicide.
BRAVE LITTLE CHILD -
SAVED LIFE OF MAN
Brave little Miss Mary Smith, whe lives
on Marietta street, threw herself in front
of a negro with a flashing pistol Wednes
day morning about 9 o’clock in the yards
of the Western and Atlantic railroad and
saved the life of J. L. Bedford, whom the
negro was threatening to shoot.
This was the testimony of witnesses in
the police court Thursday which led
to Joe Powell, a deaf negro boy, being
bound over to the superior court. Powell
was in a car in the railroad yards, assort
ing apples for his employer when Bed
ford came to the car and asked him a
question. The negro was deaf and did not
understand but stared Bedford straight
in the face. Bedford repeated his ques
tion several times and, so the witnesses
testified, finally was ordered out of the
car by Powell.
As Bedford turned to go, witnesses
swore, Powell pointed a loaded pistol at
him and would have shot him had not
the little girl, who for the moment for
got her own danger, thrown herself in
front of the deadly weapon and warned
Bedford. The latter turned around and as
he did so Powell is said to have thrust
the pistol into his pocket. As the little
girl was net in court and she was the
only one who had actually seen the pis
tol when pointed at Bedford Powell
was bound over for carrying concealed
weapons.
Powell denied strenuously in his mute
statement that he had pointed the pistol
at Bedford and declared that he never put
it into his pocket at all. He asserted
that he simply put his hand on the pistol
which was lying in full view in the car
Ind threatened to shoot if Bedford, who
had a rock, threw it at him. His employ
er was in court and testified to Powell’s
good character and to the fact that he
had instructed Bedford not to enter the
car and that he had no business there.
Judge Broyles fixed Powell’s bond at 850.

a deputation from the chamber, headed by

continued:
“The times are very troubled. Agitators

If they fail to reach them they attack
their wives, as in the case of the horrible
drama at Geneva. Their blows are also
aimed at ministers, as in the case of
Senor Canovas, and they also blew up
the heads of private individuals. They
want to intimidate us, but they will not
succeed.
“Even if they struck down the head of
state, it would make no difference, as
he would soon be replaced. In addition to
revolver shots they employ the psn, which
can write what calumnies they please. I
am now nearing the end of my life. I do
not know how long I shall live, how long
they will let me live, but 1 can assure you
all the rest of my existence will be de
voted within the limits of my constitu
tional powers to the good of my country
and the protection of its liberties.”

MET AFTER 35 YEARS;
PARTED AGAIN BY DEATH
There is a stillness at the home of J.
C. Jackson, 66 Atlanta avenue, today—a
hush that comes of death. The curtains
are drawn and at the door hangs a bow
of crepe, telling {n its sombre way the
story of sadness that has bowed down
the head of an aged man and brought dis
tress to his aching heart. His tears are
falling upon the cold and pallid cheeks
of one he had loved in life; one whom
he has longed for years to see; ,one whom
the grim messenger of death has snatched
from his embrace.
The man who is today made sad by this
visitation of death is J. C. Jackson and
the loved one by whose side he is sitting
is his brother, W. B. Jackson, whose home
was at Roadhouse, 111.
When the war between the states began
and the south called for volunteers the
Jacksons were among the first to respond.
From the first sound of the bugle until
General Lee with tear stained eyes called
his brave lads away from battle at Ap
pomattox, these two brothers fought side
by side. Many were their deeds of bra
very and their untold dangers and hard
ships were made lighter by the bond of
brotherly love that bound them so close
together.
When taps were sounded over the lost
cause and the Confederate army was scat
tered, the battle of life did what war had
failed to accomplish—it separated these
two brothers. One of them started for his
southern home and the other decided to
cast his lot among strangers and went
to Illinois. There he made new friends.
In the confusion that had followed the
breaking up of the army the brothers
lost sight of each other. As years rolled
by and the flight of time was showing
itself with marks of snow alopg their
temples, their thoughts turned from busi
ness and the old love became as strong
as in the days of youth. The one In the
far west began a correspondence that end
ed tn his finding his bother th Atlanta.
Before they could meet an attack of ty
phoid fever came and for weeks he was
desperately ill. When this had ended he
started for the south. He picturea the
meeting with his brother whom he had
not seen in thirty-five years and fretted
at the slowness of his journey.
Two weeks ago they clasped each other
in a fond embrace; they laughed and cried
by turns over the days of old and lived
over their boyhood and the time when
men’s souls were tried and the shot and
shell of the enemy fell about them like
hail.
Last Thursday the brother who journey
ed far that he might bring about this re
union felt a strange pang about his
heart. His breathing became labored
and before his failing sight the battle
grounds and the ragged boys in gray be
gan to pass. He heard the call to arms
and the rebel yell. The dull thud of
cannon and the sharp crack of musketry
fell upon his ears. He saw his brother
strong in youth, with the lust of battle
upon his face. Then the angel of peace
and mercy came and the war fiend faded
away. A smile, a gasp, outstretched
hands to those around him and the pulse
was still.
The brother was dead.
W. B. Jackson and his brother were in
Longstreet’s division and at the battle of
Chickamauga took command of a regi
ment after all of Its officers had been
killed. He was frequently commended
by General Longstreet and General
Wheeler for his gallantry. He leaves an
adopted daughter, Mrs. John King, of
Roadhouse, 111.
