HE TELLS THE STORY
Of How Livingston Told Him Whore

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19.—{Special.j-
Mr. Willis, ex-president of the Musco

THE SENATORS HANDLE IT PRET
TY ROUGHLY.
IT WAS POSTPONED
Until August 25-A Committee to go
to Atlanta In its !nterest--The Bill
is Satisfactory to All Parties
And Should Pass.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18.—[Special.]—
1 he dispensary bill is not sailing so
smoothly in the Senate.
It came up yesterday and was post
poned until August 25-.li when it will
come up as a special order.
There was an interesting debate over
the bill.
Senator Nunnally, representing that
district, spoke at some length for tbe
bill. He was interrupted by Senator
Ellington with the question:
“Is the dispensary to give out liquors
only for medirinal and mechanical
purposes or for general purposes?”
•‘For general purposes.”
“Then it’s a barroom, pure and sim-
i'le?’*
“Yes.” said Senator Nunnally, “it’s
1 barroom pure and simple.”
Senator Todd, of the Atlanta district,
-poke for the bill.
“They are determined to have liquors
in Athens,” said he, “and as long v as
chey have it I’m in favor of giving them
pure whisky.”
He went on to say that there was a
peculiar need for this plan in Athens,
and that be hope 1 it would not be es-
ablisbed in other places.
I am afraid,” said be, “that this
plan stamps municipal endorsement
md respectability upon the liquor traf
fic”
Senator Ellington opposed the bill.
“My vote,” said he, “shall never be
cast to license a barroom in Georgia.
There are objections to blind tigers,bui
more and stronger objections to seeing
tigers.”
Senator Gill opposed the bill as estab
lishing a monopoly in the liquor traffic,
and also because the State University
would be injuriouslv affected by it.
Upon motion of Senator Johnson the
bill was made tbe special order for
Tut s lay, August 25, and the bill was
ordered printed.

Relating to the Coarse
Three Persons Drowned In the
River Off Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Aug. 19.—Three promi
nent young people were drowned in the
Ohio river, opposite Fnlton Station, by
the capsizing of a skiff. Clara Fech-
peiraer, the pretty 18-year old daughter
of J. K. Fecbpeimer, the wealthy shoe
manager, lier friend, Miss Bamberg, of
Chicago, aged 17, Emd Block, 18, a
leading ggnre in Jewish circles, and
George Solomon, bad been visiting the
art museum, and concluded to have a
boat ride on the Ohio river. They hired
a skiff, and Block and Solomon palled
out into the stream. They knew noth
ing about handling the oars, and tbe
boat capsized, throwing the entire partv
into the water. Solomon was the only
one who mahaged to reach shore. The
other three were drowned. The young
man made a heroic effort to rescue his
unfortunate companions, but failed.
They Say Campbell Is III.
Cincinnati. Aug. 19. — Governor
Campbell is quite ill at Columbus, and
his friends fear that lie will not be able
to do anp active campaigning this year.
His present illness is but a recurrence of
the stomach and bowel trouble with
which be has suffered a great deal of
late. His condition is not considered
serious, but he will not be in condition
to make any speeches for some time.
Senator McMaden, of Hamilton, a close
personal and political friend of the gov
ernor, said: "I have just seen Gov
ernor Campbell. His present attack of
sickness is not serious, but I fear that
his general health will not permit him
to do much campaigning this year. If
that should prove to be the case, the
loss of his personal work will be greatly
felt by the Democratic party. ”
The Slaver of Nine Men.
San Antonio, Aug. 19.—Antonio
Carrisaci, a noted bandit and desperado
and the slayer of eight men, has added
another victim to his list. Torribo Pas-
trango. a deputy sheriff, whef had se
cured evidence showing that Carrisaci
was the murderer of Charles Fussel-
man, a sergeant of Texas Rangers, at
tempted to arrest the bandit at a fan
dango given on the Texas aide of the
river. As the deputy sheriff advanced
into the room the bandit drew a revol
ver and shot Pastraugo dead, after
which he made his escape. Fifty Mex
ican rangers have followed his trail
into the mountains, but it is unlikely
that he will be captured. The residents
ha'
A committee of prohibitionists will
leave today for Atlantaln the interests
of tbe bill.
“The condition of affairs is this,”
said a prominent prohibitionist yester
day, “ we put tbe dispensary plank in
our platform, we went before the peo
pie on that platform, and we won. We
are in duty bound to give them the dis
pensary. The bill as now pending be
fore the legislature is satisfactory to
nearly every person in Clarke county,
aud will settle the liquor question in
my judgment. The legislature would
not be giving us what we want if
they refused to give us the dispensary.
It would put us back where we were
before tbe election, divided in senti
ment and agitating this question
again.”
A gentleman who has watched the
proceedings of tbe senate gives it as his
opinion that unless a strong effort is
made to pull the bill through, it will be
amended so as to allow the sale only for
medicinal and scientific purposes.
The citizens of Athens and Clarke
county waut the dispensary aud tbe
committee that goes to Atlanta will en-
dcavor to make it clear to the minds of
all the Senators that the bill should be
passed.

SCHEME
Colony In Old
Negro
Mexico.
Chicago. Ang. 19.—W. H. Ellis of
Texas, who is actively concerned in the
scheme to colonize a large number of
southern negroes in Mexico, is in the
city. Speaking of the plan, he said he
believed that if a few negroes were to
colonize a state in Mexico they would
own it in five years and be as prosperous
as Americans. Tbe project is favorably
received by all but colored politicians.
Ellis thinks tbe loss of a large number
of colored laborers would do more than
anything else to solve the race problem
m the south. The concessions which
have been obtained from- the Mexican
government embrace lands in Vera
Cruz, Qneretaro, San Luis Potosi, and
Oaxoca. In cotton, Ellis asserts, the
colonists will have the benefit of a mar
ket price almost double that of the
United States. The cotton is perennial
there, he says, and not planted ev*ry
year as here, and half a bale an acre
more can be raised. Ellis says that be
already has the names of 6,000 people
who desire to go from various southern
states.
He Is Not the Men.
Memphis, Aug. 19.—Colonel Dudley
Frazer, who was chloroformed, and
robbed at Gayoao hotel in this city re
cently, returned from Monte Sano, Ala.
for'the purpose of identifying, if possi
ble, the prisoner held by the Mem; ’ ’
police as a suspect. Colonel Dudley
Fraser, after looking at the man, stated
positively that he was not the man who
perpetrated the ontrage, and the pris
oner, who is Dr. J. E. Clemens, a rep
utable young physician of this city, was
released. ,

To Be Pursued in the Next
Session of Congress.
The Opinion of the Party Scions as to
tbe Coniine Tariff Legislation—It Is
Abont Decided That an Act Will Be
Introduced Repealing the Famous Mc
Kinley Bill.
Washington. Aug. 18.—There has
been considerable correspondence re
cently between the Democratic leaden
with reference to the course to be pur
sued with regard to tariff legislation
af ‘ er congress convenes. There is no
difference of opinion on the main ques
tion. All the Democrats agree that
some steps must be taken toward secur
ing a lower tariff. The party is pledged
to this in every national and state plat
form, and there is no disposition to
avoid the issue. Between the present
time and the opening of congress the
exact programme to be observed will
probably have passed out of the region
of disebssion into one of certainty.
Quite a number of tbe leaders favor
rather a dramatic stroke. They want
an act repealing the McKinley bill pass
ed as soon as the house meets, without
waiting for the formation of the com
mittees. They argue that as the Demo
crats have made the McKinley bill an
issae, a bold assault on that measure at
the earliest opportunity will be an earn
est to'< the country of the Democratic
sentiment.* By the passage of such an
act, too, they argue, there will be no
opportunity for the long-drawn-out
hearings which invariably accompany
the prepjiration of a tariff bill, and
which are provokative of any nnmbei
of jealousies aud antagonisms. After
the repealing act has passed the house,
the ways and means committee coaid
then, if it saw fit, commence work upon
the construction of a new bill; but this,
it is held, should not be done untirthe
honse has placed itself on record as re
pealing the McKinley law. If the senate
should not pass the repealing act, tlie
Democrats would be in an excellent po
sition to charge the Republicans with
perpetuating legislation claimed to be
obnoxious, and the same point would be
gained if tlie bill should pass the senate
and be vetoed by the president.
Indeed there are so many arguments
in favor of this project that it is very
favorably considered and may be adop
ted. Another scheme iB to pass in the
honse at short intervals hills repealing
or lowering the duty on such articles of
necessary use as were subjected to a
higher tariff by the McKinley bill. It
is believed that bills of this nature
could pass the senate, as many seuators
would vote with the Democrats on mat
ters closely affecting the interests of
their farmer constituents, while they
would not vote for a low-tariff bill in
balk. Other tariff legislation ideas are
being considered, and it is understood
that every plan suggested will be laid
before a caucus of the Democratic ma
jority early in December. At present
Lhe immediate repeal of the McKinley
law finds the most favor.
THE* NINE JUDGES.
Tho Bone of Political Contention In
Kansas.
Topeka, Ang. 19.—There are nine
district judges to be elected in Kansas
this fall, and the People’s party poli
ticians claim that in all of them the
Democrats and Republicans will unite
on a candidate to beat the People’s
pprty. In Geary county the Demo-
oats and Republicans will unite on a
county ticket, and from one end of the
state to the other tbe fight now appears
to be against the new party. W. F.
Rightmire, candidate for chief justice
last fall, who has been carefully watch
ing the judicial contests, stated that
steps had already been taken by the
Democrats and Republicans to combine
on judicial candidates. The situation
in the eighth district has already been
explained. Judge M. B. Nicholson, tbe
incumbent, joined the Alliance about
six months ago and was renominated by
the People’s party. He ran for chief
justice on the Democratic ticket, but
was not in sympathy with his party
on the prohibition question. The Dem
ocrats are indignant on account of his
flop and have joined hands with the
Republicans.
A citizens’ convention has already
been called to meet at Junction City,
and Judge James Humphrey, ex-rail-
road commissioner, will be the fusion
candidate. In the twenty-fifth district
Democrats and Republicans have.called
an " anti-socialist convention ” to nomi
nate a candidate against Jndge Frank
Dos ter, who has charged that the rights
of the user are paramount to those of
the owner. W. S. Bashore, oi King-
man, has been nominated by the Peo
ple’s party in the twenty-eighth district,
and the Democrats and Republicans
will unite on tbe Republican candidate
from Pratt county. Mr. Rightmire de
clares that committees representing the
Democratic and Republican parties are
now attempting to effect a combination
in the twenty-eighth district to defeat
Shinn, the People’s party nominee.
"The effects of these combinations,
said Rightmire, "will be to strengthen
the People’s party in the state. It
shows on the face that the fight is be
tween the people and their wonld-be
bosses and that the people will win."
Republicans and Democrats contend
that the good name- and credit of the
state are at stake, and that it would he
a black eye for Kansas in the east if
men were elected to the bench who
would use their power arbitrarily
against eastern capitalists who loan
mtoney In Kansas.
Earlier Trains —When the schedule
on tbe Macon & Northern railroad is

Makes the
Weak Strong
The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
tho claim that this medicine “makes the weak
strong.” It does not act like a stimulant,
Imparting fictitious strength from which there
most follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short; gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
Fagged Out
“Last spring I was completely fagged out
My strength left me and I felt sick and mis
erable all the time, so that I could hardly
attend to my business. I took one bottle of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it cured me. There
is nothing like It.” B. C. Begole, Editor
Enterprise, Belleville, Mich.
“I derived very much benefit from Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, which I took for general debility.
It built me right up, and gave me an excel
lent appetite.” Ed. Jenkins, ML Savage, Md.
N.B. If yon decide to take Hood’s Sarsa-
parflia do not bo induced to buy anything else
instead. Insist upon having

Breaking in
isn’t needed, with the Ball
corset. It’s easy from the
start. Coils of tiny wire
springs in the sides make it
so. There are bones that
bend, but can’t break, and
soft eyelets that won’t cut
the laces. You’ll like it.
If you don’t, after a few
weeks' wear, just return it
and get your money.

For two years 1 suffered greatly with Blood Poi
son and a general breaking down of health. I tried
every remedy that I could hear of without any
benefit, until I began to take your remedy. I waa
1 soon restored to my usual good healttnand
inder lasting obligations to Wooldridge s Won-
ul Cure. It was the only thing that did me any
good at all. R E. DEWBERRY.

DEsaSra: Having given your Wooldridge’s Won
derful Cure a thorough trial, I can cheerfully rec
ommend it to all suffering with Liver trouble*. It
has done me more good than a band of so-called
remedies, and Heel like a new man. I pronounce
tt the true and only elixir of Ufe. _
