THE EVENING GALL.
?01. x. No. 193
A large reward.
$1,250 Awaits the Person Who Deliv
ers Sam Hose to the Authorities.
jt been <'ue week tonight fir.ee
Siirr Hose committed bis horrible
crime in Campbell county, and he is
e iill at large.
Governor Candler first < fit-red a re
ward ot $250 for theatrestand delivery
of Hose to the officers, and yesterday
increased the reward to SSOO. The
citiz ns of Palmetto have added $250
to this, and the Atlanta Constitution
today offers an additional reward of
SSOO.
The reward is an unusually large
one, and may induce some of the
finesbdetectives in the country to take
up the case.
The liberal reward offered by the
Constitution will be duly appreciated
by the people of Georgia. But long
after that is forgotten the women’of
the South will bold in greatful remern
brance the vigorous defense thatpaper
has made of those who are hunting
the black demon with the avowed in
tention of burning him when he is
captured. The Constitution in speak
ing of the reward in a long editorial,
says ■
“The Constitution makes this offer,
fully convinced of the fact that we
have reached a critical period—one in
which the safety of the home must be
measured against the chances for
criminals to escape The people of
Georgia are orderly and conservative,
the descendants of ancestors who have
been trained in American methods for
150 years They are a people intense
ly religious, home living and just.
There is among them no foreign or
lawless element. When, therefore, a
lynching occurs among such a people,
it has connected with it premeditation
and purpose, and it follows that when
such a people can be so moved, be
hind it there is a motive so strong and
overpowering that all the bonds of
conservatism have been broken.
“Georgia is an agricultural state.
Her people are forced to the isolated
life of the farm, and as the farmer goes
about bis daily labor, he must leave
mother, wife or daughter in the lonely
cabin to await his home-coming. Are
they safe? The answer comes from
the humble home in Campbell county,
where an industrious citiz. an who bore
hie part toward family and state was
brutally murdered by the negro to
whom he had given food and employ
ment.
“The search for Sam Hose should
be kept up, and his punishment
should be made summary enough to
serve notice upon those who sympa
thize with him that there is protec
tion in Georgia for women and chil
dren/’
Thought It Was Holt.
Milner, April 19—Early last night
a coal black negro was captured on J.
H Wilson’s place by our vigilant
marshall, E. W. Wilson, and brought
to town and locked up for Sam Holt.
At dawn this morning it was discover
ed that toe captured negro was rather
too shady for Holt and he was given a
good breakfast and quietly conducted
out of town.
We trust this little incident will only
spur our young men to renewed effort
to apprehend the monster Holt.

CRIMINAL COURT SUSTAINED.
Interesting Decision of Supreme Court
Handed Down Yesterday.
In the case of Cunningham vs. City
of Griffin, decided yesterday, the Sus
i preme Court sustains Judge Reagan
in holding that the act of the legisla
ture constituting and establishing the
Crininal Court of Griffin is constitu
tional.
The defendants in a jjreat many
cases have attacked the court as being
unconstitutional but the question was
finally decided against their conten"
tiori in the case above referred to.
They also decided that the “blind
tiger” ordinance was valid. This or
dinance passed in February of last
year, prohibits the keeping of a 'blind
tiger” or keeping for sale or exchange
any various spirituous or malt liquors
in the city of Griffin.
The Supieme Court holds that it is
a valid police regulation, and the
Mayor and Council have power to
adopt the ordinance under the general
welfare clause of the city charter.
There were other points in 'he case
decided, but not of general interest,
but the city was sustained on every
point.

CAPTURED BY FILIPINOS
Lieut- Gilmore and Party of Fourteen
Captured or Killed-
Washington, April 19—A dispatch
received from Admiral Dewey said :
“The Yorktown visited Baler, Luzon,
April 12, for the purpose of rescuing
and bringing away a Spanish force
consisting of 30 soldiers, three officers
and two priests, which was surround
ed by 400 insurgents. Lieutenant
Gilmore and a party of bluejackets
were ambushed, fired upon by the re
bels and captured. Their fate is un
known, as the insurgents refused to
communicate afterwards ”
Admiral Dewey gives a list of fifteen
missing, including besides Lieut. Gil
more, Chief Quartermaster Walton,
; Coxswain Ellswor.b, Gunners Mate
Myers and Sailmaker’s Mate Vendgia.
Concern is manifested at the navy
department over the news sent by Ad
miral Dewey Knowing something of
the cruelty of the Filipinos towards
prisoners, the officials can only hope
for the best. They are encouraged by
the fact that the three American sol
diers captured before Maloios were, at
last accounts, being treated with con
sideration.
Instructions have been sent Admiral
Dewey to use every effort to secure
the release of Lieut. Gilmore and the
fourteen missing men, either by ran
som or in exchange. Gen Otis and
Admiral Dewey have about 16,000
Filipino soldiers as prisoners and
President. McKinley has three million
dollars fi.r extraordinary expenses.
, Already the suggestion his been made
, that - me of this three million might
, beu-ed to persuade Aguinaldo that
his cause is hopeless, but the authori
ties poi-phooh the idea, though thev
. are exceedingly reticent in discussing
it.

t Uncle Billie Smith Bitten by a Mad
Doer With Fatal Results
“Uncle Billie” Smith, an old genlle
< man nearly 80 years of age, is dying
i at his home near Sunny Side from the
■ effect of a mad dog bite last year.
i Just before Christmas Mr. Smith
• was bitten by a dog which had some
of the symptoms of hydrophobia, but
■ under medical treatment he soon ap
’ peared to have recovered from the
i wound and as the weeks passed the
• incident was almost forgotten.
Yesterday Mr. Smith complained of
feeling badly and retired at an early
hour last night.
He soon began acting in a strange
manner, and a physician was sum
monsed, who discovered the old man
bad every symptoms of hydrophobia.
The physician did everything possi
ble to relieve the patient, but a tele
phone message received this afternoon
stated that Mr. Smith was slowly dy
ing with the rabies.
We were informed that a grand
child of Mr. Smith’s was also bitten
by the dog, and died within a few days,

So
Excellent Combination. I
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one. perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant t<> the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California I io Syp.t r
Co. only-. In order to get its beneficial
