Vol. X. No. 156.
MILLION TO CUBA
General Carey Will Leave Scon With
$3,000,000 in Gold and Silver.
Washington, March 7. —Paymas-
ter General Carey has perfected ar
rangements'or going to pay rff the
Cuban army.
General Carey will take the entire
sum $3,000,000 to Cuba, $1,500,000 of
which will be in silver and the re
maioder either in gold or bide. He
will leave New York on toe ui the
government transport, to which the
money will be transferred from the
Bub-treasury, and upon his arrival at
Havana he will report General
Brooke.
As General Gomez desires that the
American officers shall handle the
money, the disbursements will be
made by American officers upon the
direction of General Cart y, who will
be furnished with a list of the officers
and men comprising the Cuban army
and the amount of money which
should be paid to each
It is not intended by this governs
ment to furnish more than $3,000,000
A dispatch from Havana says the
Cuban assembly held another secret
session today, at which the payment
of the army was the only question dis
cussed.
The committee appointed to raise a
loan of twelve million dollars reported
that it could not be secured, unless
the payment was guaranteed by the
United States
It was proposed that the army be
paid the the three million dollars of*
sered by the United States, and that
the balance due be paid in promitSiry
notes, signed by the assembly, to be
redeemed by the island’s future gov*
ernment
/ifter much discussion, this pro*
posal was laid over.
Major Kennon visited Gen. Gomez
today, to obtain further details regard
ing the Cuban army. Gen. Gomez ex*
plained that the number of men to be
paid is 25,000, but there are 25,000
more, consisting of officers who will
not take money, and men who en»
listed after the war between Spain
and the United States broke out. Gen.
Gomez failed to give satisfactory de*
tails regarding the men to whom be
claims payment is due. Gen. Brooke
declares that the three million dollars
will only be paid to real Cuban sol
diers.

A Good Attraction for Griffin-
The theatrical firm of Dobson i
Ring has just closed a contract with
Mr. Patterson to produce Washington
Irvin’s quaint legend, Rip Van
Winkle, at the Olympic Theatre. The
role of Rip is enacted by Samuel W.
Glenn, who has the honor of being the
oldest Rip Van Winkle on the stage,
having played the part in 1856 just
four years prior to his starring Mr.
Joseph Jefferson, who made his debut
in 1860 under Mr Glenn’s manage
ment.
This attraction will appear here in
the near fixture, and should receive a
cordial welcome by our people.
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E Lilly, a prominent cit'z >n
of Hannibal, Mo , lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightful death.
In telling of it he says : ‘ 1 was taken
with typhoid fever, that ran into pneu
monia My lungs became hardened.
I was so weak I couldn’t even sit up
ia bed. Nothing helped me. I ex
pected to soon die of consumption,
when I heard of Dr King’s New
Discovery. One bottle gave great
relief. I continued to use it, and now
am well and strong, I can’t say too
much in its praise.” This marvellous
medicine is the surest and quickest
cure in the wprld for all Throat and
Lung Trouble. Regular siz s 50cents
and $1 00. Trial bottles free at Harris
4 Son and Carlisle <fc Ward’s drug
stores: every bottle guaranteed.
I’. B, Rice, a prominent druggist, of
Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows:
"I have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative
fur eight years, and have never known of
a single instance where it failed to give
perfect satisfaction. Parties who once
use it always make permcnent customers.
We sell more of this article than all the
other Carminatives, soothing syrups and
< he drops combined.” For teething chil
dren it has no equal.
WILL ATTACK AGUINALDO
General Otis Will Not Wait for the
Arrival of Reinforcements.
Washington, March 7.—Word has
been received from General Otis at
Manila that be will not wait for the
arrival of General Lawton and the
troops on the Grant and Sherman to
arrive before he makes his general al*
tack upon the insurgents.
The advices say that General Otis
will either today or tomorrow make
his contemplated general attack upon
the insurgents by his entire force, and
drive the rebels from the jungles and
other places where they have thrown
up defense.
A dispatch from Manila says: ‘‘At
daylight this morning the enemy were
discovered to mount a gun across the
river from San Pedro and the Sixth
artillery promptly shelled the rebel
battery Temporarily stopping the
work, the enemy poured a fusilade of
musketry across the river, but a gun
boat moved up and cleared the banks
of the stream with rapid-fire guns.
“Postoffices have been established
at Negros, Cebu and Iloilo and the
clerks left yesterday for their respec
tive posts by the steamer Espana.”
Be Careful of Your Fire.
The last legislature passed a law
which intended to make the people of
this State careful with their fire, espec
ially in burning off the woods. An
exchange calls attention to this law
and gives a timely warning as so •
lows :
“For the information of those who
have not kept up with the laws passed
by the last legislature, we call atten
tion to the fact that a law was passed
making it a misdemeanor and a heavy
fine for any one to put out fire so as
to burn rff the fields of their neighbors,
whether the fire gets out by intention
or carelessness, and at the same time
it provides for any damage such fire
may do. We call attention to this
fact just now, as it is about time people
are starting out for another crop, and
as it is the custom to burn the grass
off the field, to caution them that they
should be careful and not let the fire
get beyond the place intended to bo
burned.
Sometimes fire is set out in a field
and gets beyond control and burns the
field and woods for nyles. Under the
present law the one setting out the
fire would bo subject to be prosecuted
by every man whose woods and Holds
were burned, besides being responsi
ble for any damage that might be
claimed.”
City Court Proceedings-
Several cases were tried in the City
court yesterday, and every one result
ed in conviction
Solicitor J. I). Boyd received many
congratulations from the older num
bers of the bar upon his able prosecu
tion of the cases.
Bob Doyal was convicted of assault
and battery.
Tom Deane, John Holland aud Doc
Matthews, colored, were convicted of
gambling.
A few cases were continued and
about twelve bonds were forfeited.
Judge Hammond ordered the arrest
of several absent witnesses, and is de
termined that if the business of the
court is delayed by such causes that
some one will suffer
“Bust Up” of “Babe” Bailey
At last the “expected” has happened.
We regret that we cannot print it in
red —red as the blood of a Texas steer.
The United States is wrecked, the
constitution is “busted,” and the hon.
jobailey threatens to go into a state of
innocuous desuetude.
While the hon jobailey has “busted”
his suspenders frequently, we did not
believe he would do the baby act, and
humiliate the great state of Texas by
exhibiting bis petulance and disap
[ ointment in failing in unseating the
gallant Gen Ji>e Wheeler
Let him retire from the leadership
of the party, if he thinks hv has ever
held it. F-ir our part we have for a
long time thought that the hon.
jobailey was small potatoes and few in

FRANCHISES IN CUBA
Alger W?.Ets Legal Opinion Foraker
Amendment.
Washington, March •»—Secretary
Alger will ask the attorney g< neral to
interpret the Foraker amendment to
the army approprition bill prohibiting
the granting of business concessions
and franchises in Cuba
Meanwhile no concession- <r Iran
chiees will be granted in the island by
the war department On the who’e,
the military authetities are ra’hcr
glad that the amendment was adopted,
as it relieves them of much worry and
embarrassment, and they hope that
the attorney general will interpret the
law broadly, so as to cover all grants
of a businets character.
When the advisory board on insu
lar affaire was preparing for its trip to
Cuba and Porto Rico to look into the
franchise question and other matters,
Secietary Alger decided that it would
b 1 bstter to leave Cuba severely alone,
and he directed the members of the
board, Messrs. Watkins, Kennedy and
Curtis, to confine their investigations
to Porto Rico alone.
Permission was given them how
ever, to go to Santiago to make in
quires about an application made by
an American concern for authority to
construct a tramway from Santiago to
the iron mines near that place
No concessions will be granted in
Porto Rico until the board makes its
report.

Some Hoosier Superstitions-
If the cat washes her face it will
soon rain.
If a hen crows, bid iuck is coming.
Sell the hen to a peddler.
If you find a pipe of tobacco, don’t
bring it home or some one will die.
Don’t turn back when once started
on a journey, or bid luck will follow
you.
If you sweep dirt out of the house,
you sweep out your luck. Burn the
dirt.
If you give away a cat or one goes
away, don’t let it come back or a cow
or horse will die.
If you turn a chair around on one
leg, or if yon turn a loaf upside down,
there will be a quarrel in the house.
If you don’t put a horseshoe—one
that has been worn by a 2 year old
filly—in the ciiurn, the witches will
take the butter.
Don’t put your left slocking or shoe
on first when dressing in the morn
ing, or you will put your foot in it
some way during the day.
If a chair falls as you rise from it,
you will not marry within a year. If
the housewife sweeps under your feet
you will not marry within seven years.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to delect
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; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must Im- at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or ; r
When tiicoi. symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may rus
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
- stage of kidney trouble.
i 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
