The Chicago Tribune says: “Unacrupulous men throughout the South have been telling ignorant old negroes that Senator Mason’s bill hue become a law, and that all. they need do to get their pensions is to pay a little something ‘fo have the papers drawn up’ So these deluded blacks have been handing over the few dol lars they possess to conscienceless con fidence operators, who assure them that their claims will be put through in a few weeks. The moral of this is that a United States senator can find more profitable employment than the introduction of foolish bills which he does not believe in and which he knows cannot pass. If he had not in troduced this bill and given it a status which it never should have had, the ex-slaves of the South would not have been fleeced as they have been.

'lit score is yet k how n. l-ive years ago It was thought the height of folly to think of abandoning any of tbo Arizona military posts, which are in the region infested with Apaches, but today it; seems to be the settled policy of the gov ernment to make these men self support ing and therefore wife citizens. As rap idly tw the Dawes bill requirements are complied with tbo Indians are admitted to the rights of suffrage. These require ments are “the severance of all trilial re lationships and the adoption of the modes and habits of civilization." This will soon cover the whole Apache tribe, once so bloodthirsty, and it is not improbable that tlio next live months will im the übandomnent of Forts Apache. Grant and lluachuca In Arizona and Wingate and Union in New Mexico. The only reason why' the government keeps troops in those Godforsaken regions now is liecause of fancied fear of the Indians. It is also the policy of the government in the Indian country to the red men, to bo used as agencies. Thus in Utah can' lie seen the Ouray agency, once the site of old Fort Roubidoux; in Montana can be seen the Fort. Peck agency, once the site of a military' cantonment of that name, and in Arizona the Fort Defiance agency flourishes where once stood the sentinel of the advance of civilization, Fort De fiance.— I leu ver Times. THE CAMERA FIEND. V t oll! Blooded Proceed I nn nt the Windsor Hotel Fire. ‘‘l witnessed the recent burning of the Windsor hotel,” said Mr. Charles P. Jack son, "and at. every turn through the crowd 1 bumped into a camera fiend in tent on taking snap shots of the tragic in , cidents. They swarmed like bees on all the neighboring elevations, the roofs were lined with them, and certainly no disaster was ever as thoroughly photographed . There was plenty of light, at that time in tiie afternoon, and the conditions were re markably favorable for such work, but ■ what impressed me most was the apparent , indifference of the kodak brigade to the 1 horrors of the scene. They seemed to bo i so intent on getting good shots that— But ( let me tell you a little incident which il lustrates the point exactly. ‘ Shortly before the wall fell, on the Fifth avenue side, 1 was standing on the edge of the throng shoulder to shoulder with a tall, blond gill, who was manipu lating ii good sized hand camera..

A rope was hanging over the sill, and the firemen roared at her to slide down. It !

Meantime the tall girl had covered her wirl) (lie camera and was following her down the rope exactly as a hunter would I follow a moving animal with a gun. , ‘Snap it. snap it!’ cried her companion excitedly. An instant later the ]s«jr woman, who b i I been going faster and faster, lost her i grip and fell, and. as she plunged through space like a huge white bird, 1 heard the metallic click of the instrument. The blond girl tut tied around, her eyes gleam ing, her hair awry and triumph written all over her face ' ' 1 knew she was going to fall.’ she ex claimed ;o I saved the film till she let. go!’ Did y get her?’ asked the other breathl. -1 I guess yes,’ she replied ’’ ‘vevv <>rl ..ns Tim.

" The preacher tiegnn his service at 2 o clock and preached aliout an hour. He scored all other branches of the Christian religion stating that they were composed largely of hypix-rites. quoting freely from the Bible to show how they had fallen away from the early teaeldngs.

He hailed the Russian with frank kindness and took him off to show him around the trenches, chatting volubly j and calling him "prince,” much as Ken tuekians call one another “colonel.” As : I returned I heard him remarking: “You > see. prince, tile grc.it result of this war is that it has united the two branches of the Anglo Saxon people, and now that they i are together they can whip the world.

FVom the Republican, Scrantan, Penna. The most common of all human ailments [ is deranged digestion : the most aggravating disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy- j sicians and the power of medicine. | The primary cause of dyspepsia is luck of ■ > vitality , the absence of nerve force; the loss . of the life-sustaining elements of the blood. It is a truism that m> organ can properly perform its function -when the source of nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one hand and over-taxed on the other. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature, assimilation ceases un- : natural gases are generated, the entire sys tem responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms ' and tort ore of dyspepsia is furnished by the case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory St., ! Scranton Pa. Tn telling his story Mr. Vandyke says : “Five yeari ftgo, I was afllluted with a; trouble of the stomach, which was very I aggravating. I had no appetite, could not. enjoy myself at any time, and especially was the trouble severe when I awoke in the morning. 1 did not know what the ailment ■ was, but it became steadily worse and I was in constant misery. "I called in my fkmily physician, ami he diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach. He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip tion filled. I took nearly all of the medi cine, but. still the trouble became worse, and I felt 'that my condition was hopeless.

Milliatns 1 Pink Pills for Pale People. I told him it would be a useless waste of money to buy them, as I was convinced that nothing could do me any good. “I was finally persuaded to buy a box and began to use the pills according to directions. Before I had taken the second box I began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes 1 considered myself re stored to health. The pills gave me new | lite, strength, ambition ami happiness.

A to Give Every Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. i Mr. Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say, in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe (founty, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,001) to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost. The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to market gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place 1 know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. 1 would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low, The titles to the land have been in the posses sion of one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gold.
