SANTIAGO PAPER DISPLEASED
American Methods Are Strongly Con
demned by Cuban Press
Santiago de Cuba, March 6.—El
Porveuir, clifcu«eing the situation
brought about by the orders 'rom Ha
vana limiting the total expenditure
upon the departments of the provin
cial administration to SIO,OOO, says :
“There is only one course open to
men who are without work and food
namely—to become banditti. Hun

of the United States authorises at
Havana are evidently antagonistic to
Major General Wood ;*•: ’ b.-rn of
jealousy of his success and popularity
among all classes of Cubans 'ihree
thousand men have been thrown out
of employment at only a day’s notice,
which must mean a serious menace to
public peace and proper y ’
The Independence, El Cubano nntl
The Santiago Herald common- in
much the same strain.
Two companies of the Fourth im
mune regiment arriv’ d in the city,
today, nominally to receive horsts>
but it is expected that they will re
main just a week, returning to Man
xinillo
The court mar tiai of John Williams,
of the Ninth immune regiment,
charged with complicity in the mur
derous affray at San Lus cu Novem
ber 14th, is still in session. Thus far
the prosecution has offered two eye
witnesses, but the other testimony is
conflicting.
The judge advocate c< niplains that
there is considerable perjury among
the officers of the regiment. The ac
cused is defended by Majur Harrison,
whose orderly he was at the time. The
case will probably last another ten
days and a conviction is possib’e

Goode Hataway, of Sunny Side, Died
Suddenly Sunday
Mr. Goode Hataway, a farmer liv
ing near Sunny Side, was found dead
in the barn of his brother-in-law, Mr.
Ed Dorsett, Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Hataway arose Sunday morning
feeling as well as usual and after
breakfast went Io Mr Dorsett’s and
together they walked over the latter’s
plantation. When they reached the
barn Mr. Hataway complained of be
ing tired and sleepy and said he be
lieved be would lie down on the hay
and take a nap.
Mr. Dorsett spread a lap robe over
him and left him, thinking be would
return home after resting a short lime-
Wh&n’dinner was ready Mrs. Ilata
way sent a messenger after her hns
oand, and Mr. Dorsett went to wake
him up. When he arrived al the
barn be was horrified to find Mr. Hat
r.way cold and stiff in death.
Coroner Williams was notified and
left on the 6: 13 train for Sunny Side
to hold an it quest.
From the evidence introduced at
inquest the jury returned a verdict
that the deceased came to bis death
from heart failure, he having been a
sufferer from heart disease for some
time.
Mr. Hataway was about 50 years of
age, and is survived by a wife.

A BOLD BUGLARY.
A. A. Snider’s Store Was Entered by
Burglars Saturday Night-
Mr. A. A. Snider’s store was bur
gla.ized Saturday night for the third
time in less than two years.
The burglars crawled under the
building and with an augtr bored
holes in the floor until they were en
abled to take out a plank and enter
the building.
The night was daik and stormy and
they evidently had no fear of detec
tion, as they blew open the safe with
dynamite, broke open the cash drawer
and- afterward ate a lunch of canned
goods and crackers before leaving with
their ill-gotten gain.
The safe contained over $25 in bills
wrapped up iu paper, which the bur
glars carelessly overlooked, and all the
money 'hoy secured was $4 90 which
was in :ie Cash drawer/-
They carried off several dollars
worth of groceries, cigars and tobacco,
leaving no clew upon which the offi
cers can work
Mr. Snider’s store is near bis resi
dence in the southern suburbs of the
city, and is without police protection,
and for that reason the burglars were
very lo’.d.

MAD LION AT LIBERTY
i Great Excitement in the Central City
Park at Macon
• Col. Thomas G Powers, the animal
I trainer, entered a cage cf six wild lions
■ at the winter quarters of the Nickel
Plate Show in the animal buildiny at
> Central City Park yesterday ni ’ruing.
r With no weapon of defense save a
1 small iron rod which be carried in I.is
• tie.nd, ihe intrepid trainer unbolt’d
’ the iron door of the ce.ge and jump d
• wi bin. Al the lime of his entrance
VVallick, the largest Afiican lion in
' captivity, sprang from bis cage,
through the open door, and landed iu
‘ a crowd of invited Elks, who were in
I attendance to witness the initiatory
• performance of subjecting the wild
beasts to the control of a human mas
ter. They were there to decide which
Elk tliould ride iu the cage with the
i lions in parade for the E k’s circus
April 1 Among the small audience
weie Frank B. Turpin, Ju l Hill, John
I Brj ne, Sam Dunlap, W. IL Harris,
> proprietor of the show, and Mr. C. C.
Wilson liis general agent.
The doors of the winter quarters
were barred securely eo as to prevent
outsiders from straggling in and wit
i nessing the anticipated performance.
The wild beast cleared Mr. Turpin
iu his jump for liberty and lauded Lis
i forepaws on the lap of Mr. Jud Hill.
The terrified spectators made a des
perate attempt to escape from the
building but found all avenues cut off,
so the majority got on tup of (be win
dow sills. Col Powers lemained cool
and collected. He se z?d a heavy bar
of iron that stood near by and whirled
it through the air in the direction of
the crouching beast. The missile
missed its mark and crushed through
the board partition
The monster lion appeared to ig-
■ nore his human prey and passed by
trainer and keeper without appearent
notice A beautiful and valuable
trick pony that had strayed into
I apartments intended for the animals
alone, attracted the lion’s attention,
> and crawling toward the Shetland
j pony without exciting the latter’s sus
picion orcausing liis flight, the lion
sp-ing upon his harmless and defense
less victim.
I A terrific roar was follow’d by the
extended jaws of the monster cloasing
on the throat of the equine prey. The
heavy iron bar which Col. Powers
I used to stun the lion crashed with
mighty force on the shaggy bead, but
it proved ineffectual, as far as loosen
! ing his iron grip upou the prey was
concerned. He then grabbed a pitch
fork and buried it deep in the mon
, ster’s t-ide, but without the desired ef
fect and every one got out, of the way
as fast as possible, fearing he might
turn upon them and rend them to
’ pieces.
By this time the whole neighborhood
surrounding the park was aroused,
and an eager crowd surrounded the
building. Several revolvers were
’ drawn, and Mr. Harris consented to
shooting the lion and thus prevent
him from breaking into the park and
endangering human lives.
“Chloroform him” interposed Mr.
Turpin.
“Shoot him’’ yelled the crowd.
Mr. Turpin’s advice was taken. A
hole was broken in the floor above the
animals and two large sponges soaked
with the quiescent drug were fastened
to a pole and stuck under tbe nostrils
J of the blood sucking brute The pony
was now lying lifeless on the floor, the
lion still gouging bis throat arid quaff
ing the warm blood.
In a few moments bis eyes began te
e lose their fierce lustre, b.s gup relin
quiebed and the muscles of his form
- became less rigid.
e Ropes with loops on the ends were
I- lowered and fastened on the legs of tl e
s semi-vanquished beast, and in five
minutes he was securely b. und, placed
: in the “shifting.box” and thence trans

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; it after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or s'rong '•<’/ r
When msymptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to grave), catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may ru»
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
1 stage of kidney trouble.
1 Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. for
sample bottle and book telling all about it,
