JERRY RHODES ARRESTED.
He 11 Charged With the Murder of
Bud Dickinson.
Jerry Rhodes, a white man living
near Rover, was arrested yesterday for
the murder of Bud Dickinson, colored.
Dickinson was found dead in his
home near Rover on the 9-h of Jan
uary, and Percy Campbell was arrest
ed a few days later as the murderer.
Rhodes waa the principal witness
against Campbell, and he was to have
been tried before Judge Reagan last
Tuesday, but the case was nol proesed,
M there was no evidence against
Campbell.
Yesterday the officers came in pos
session of certain information that
warranted the arrest of Rhodes for the
crime which he attempted to fasten
upon the negro Campbell, and he was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Freeman.
Governor Candler has offered a re
ward of SIOO for the arrest of the un
known murderer, with evidence
sufficient te convict, and if the officers
have the guilty man it will prove a
good day’s work.
PORTO RICANB DISSATISFIED.
Col Hubbell Says They Planned a
Massacre.
Col Hubbell, who returned with his
command, the Forty-seventh Regi
ment, from garrisen duty in Porto
Rico on the transport Manitoba yes
terday, and was given an enthusiastic
reception in Brooklyn, gave me some
interesting information last night
about (be condition of affairs in our
new West Indian possession
“There >re many persons,” be said,
“who think we were welcomed in
Porto Rico and sent away amid a
shower of bouquets. This was not
the case. The Porto Ricans do not
like Americans. They want, and are
planning for their freedom.
"We had more or less trouble all the
time with these natives, but their hos
tility was more openly displayed when
it was learned that we were going to
leave. All the while we were subjected
to petty annoyances. A number of
attempts were made to knife our sen*
tries. The natives are treacherous,
and we had to use severe measures at
times.
"Thare was at no time an open in
surrection, but I discovered three
weeks ago, evidence that a so-called
educational society was strong and
bitter in its antagonism. It held
meetings which we dispersed. We
discovered and nipped in the bud a
conspiracy which had for its object an
entrance into our barracks and a
wholesale macheting of the soldiers
“Unless there is a great change I am
convinced that sooner or later there
will be serious trouble down there. I
should, however, qualify their feelings
by saying that they hate Americans,
not for their personality, but because
they want to be free. The feeling in
the interior of the island is more in
tense than along the coast. The
Spaniards are not responsible for it,
because they are migrating. The peo
ple there do not like their old ene
mies.”
Col. Hubbell says the native Porto
Ricans are more than poverty strick
en. The planters, he says, have large
stocks of sugar and tobacco on hand,
with no markets.
•‘ln fact,” he said, ‘‘l know that
there is at least 28,000,000 pounds of
sugar and thousands of pounds of to**
bacco to be sold. The taxes there are
too high, and they are waiting for this
country to change the tariff. With no
market for products, the wealthy plan
ters have to close down and thus the
natives are thrown out of employ
ment.’'—New York Herald March 12

2.000 Filipinos Driven From Their
Stronghold With Great Losses-
Manila, March 15.—General Lloyd
Wheaton commanding the United
States flying cojumn, attacked and
defeated a force of 2,000 Filipinos at
Pasig this afternoon, inflicting heavy
lose upon them. The American loss
was slight. The Americans captured
350 Filipinos Many bodies of rebels
killed in the engagement are floating
down the river.
Private Fornoff, of company L,
Twentieth regiment, was killed ; Pri*
vate Newman, company F, Twentieth
regiment, wounded ; Private Marshall,
company B,Twenty-second regiment,
is wounded; Private Coombs, compa
ny C, Twenty-second regiment, is
wounded ; Private Rogers, company
L, Twenty-second regiment, is wound
ed. About 350 Filipinos surrended at
the town of Taguig to the Washing
ton regiment and 175 Filipinos were
captured at Pasig by the Twentieth
regiment. Our troops found 106 dead
Filipinos and 100 new graves near
Pasig. The prisoners were unarmed
and, therefore, it is presumed they
executed their threat of throwing
their arms into the river.

Dioeley’s Funeral Bill.
i
The amount of Congressman Ding- <
ley’s funeral bill was $4,500 Some of (
the newspapers have expressed sur- (
prise at such extravagance by a cor.- |
gressional committee. In the first
t
piace there was a special train, and
then (here was a fine stock of liquors (
and cigars. The Portland undertaker (
demanded SSOO for bis services, not (
because they were worth so much
probably as because he saw a chance (
to make a big profit out of the funeral. .
No doubt everybody who was given a |
chance to make a bill took care to t
charge a great deal more than if the (
funeral had been an ordinary one.
Is it not about time congress was (
called down in the matter of congres
sional funerals? Let the cost of con- .
gressional funerals be made an issue
in a congressional campaign, and if
we are not very much mistaken some
of those who are responsible for big (
bills for funeral junkets will be left at
home.
The evtravagance of Congress is ap- (
parently increasing more rapidly than (
the wraith of the country. Owing to
some txtent to this extravagance, the (
interest bearing public debt has in- |
creased in the last six years from .
$585,000,000 to $1,026,000,000.
There are very few Congressmen
who ever think of economy in public
expenditures. Their idea seems to be
that as the government pays the bills,
it doesn’t make any difference bow
great the extravagance is which is in
dulged in. The people ought to give
their representatives a few lessons in
economy by turning down the party
which is responsible for appropriations
for which there is no justification.—

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, 1899.
BROOKE 18 READY TO ACT.
It ii Expected That He Will Socn
Disperse Cuban Assembly
Washinton, March 15—The gov
ernment expects to hear at any time
from Gen. Brooke that lie has dis
persed the sc-called Cuban assembly.
An exchange of telegrams today be
tween the war department and Gen.
Brooks resulted in an understanding
that no further attempts by the as
sembly to disturb the existing condi
tions be tolerated. Gen. Brooke said
he expected to dissolve the body. The
dissatisfaction of the administration
with the assembly has been growing
for several weeks. Its action in de
posing Gen. Gonnz and in refusing to
sanction the payment of the army
and its expressed intention to defy
American authority has angered the
officials
The opinion is that Ger. Brooke
will prevent further sittings of the
body, but he may wait to see if they
persist in a defiant course. At any
rate, he will not recognize the assem
bly as representative, but will treat it
as he would any other disturbing ele
ment.
Gen. Brooke has the c<-operation
of Gen. Gomez, who, when the assem
bly is dispersed, will be recognized as
the representative of the Cuban army.
The assembly was not elected by the
Cuban people, but by army liberations.
Its present, attitude is due to the fact
that President McKinley ignored it
by treating with Gen Gomez directly.
A dispatch received from Havana
today says: Committees from Matan
zas, Cardenas, Cineluegos and Pinar
de) Rio hav%arrived to join in a great
demonstration in honor of Gen. Gomez
tomorrow. The assembly, supported
by Gen. Rudrigutz and a part of the
army, has ordered the arrest of Colonel
Acea, for taking part in yesterday’s
demonstration. Colonel Acea will
appeal to General Brocke for protecs
tion.
The assembly still maintains sn
abusive attitude, threatening to rebel
if the American government does not
entrust it with the distribution of the
three millions and refuses a guarantee
of sixteen million more.
At a meeting today, a commission
consisting of Villalou, Hevia and Des
paigue was appointed to go to Wash
ingtou and ask President McKinley to
guarantee the loan.
Some of the hot blooded members
want to establish a republic by force of
arms.
A manifesto was approved today
and will be issued tomorrow. It is
chiefly devoted to insulting Gen,Gomez
and threatens the peace of the country-
At a secret meeting of the assembly
tonight an attempt was made to raise
funds to send commissioners to Wash
ington
The Great Men of Wall Street-
There is one place in this country
where the President is not regarded as
the great man of the nation. It is
Wall street. In that great money
center the President would not attract
any great amount of attention. Speak
er Reed visits the street once in a
while and very few who know him by
sight turn to give him a second glance.
There are ex-members of the cabinet
there, and Governors and ex-Govern
ors and senators and ex-senators are
among the hurrying throng, but their
presence is unnoticed by the busy
men who do business there.
But let J. Pierpont Morgan or Ros
well P. Flower show himself there and
the fact is known almost instantly in
every banking house and every brokers
office. What these men say on finan
cial matters is given . a significance
often far greater than it deserves.
They are the great men of the great
est money center of the New World,
and soon to be the greatest in ail the
world. A few words from Mr. Morgan
on any question relat ng to stocks is
regarded of far more importance than
the utterances of the Secretary and
Treasury or of the President on any
subject What the kings and potent*
ates of Europe have to eay to the
world is not half so interesting to the
brokers and bankers of Wall street as
what Mr. Morgan or Mr. Flower has
to say about the financial eituation.
Money is the world power and these
twomen sit upon the highest facing
bench among the money kings. It is
not to be wondered at therefore that
when they speak Wail street listens.—

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It docs not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under die 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 be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
timesboald 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 ru»
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Boot, 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 teci its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. for
