Official Advice From Manila Siys
War May End at Any Hour-
WaSHISOT N, March 17-—Advices
have been received from Manila which
indicate that the climax may occur at
any hour. The officials here are very
well pleased with the conditions of a'-
fairs, but will not at present discuss
the details of the dispatches. The in
dications are that hostilities may end
within a very short time. President
McKinley has been advised.
The navy department is taking
steps toward the formation of a mos
quito fleet for the Puihppims. The
conditions now prevailing in Luzon
indicate that for a long time it will be
necessary to maintain a strict police
of the coast and inland waters.
For the inland work especially the
department will need some very light
draft boats. For this work the big
oca in tugs that formed the “mosquito
fleet” that operated around Cuba
during the blockade and of which the
government has a number, are now
being looked over with a view to this
service Some of them are on the
Pacific coast
The department has figured out a
coasting voyage that will take them
up the Alaska coast, coaling at Sitka,
Unalaska, Cooks Inlet and so down
through the Aleutian islands to Hake
dots, the northern point of Japan,
Thence they can make the run across
the China sea, down to Hong Kong
and thence to the Philippines.
Adjudged Insane
Isaac Newton Rumbley, an old gen*
tieman 65 years of age, was tried be.
fore Ordinary Drewry yesterday for
lunacy. From the evidence introduced
it was decided by the jury that he
suffered periodically from mental
oberration, and under proper treat*
ment he would eventually recover.
The ordinary will have him sent to
the asylum at Milledgeville as [soon as
the necessary arrangements can be
made.
Mr. Rumbley and bis wife came to
Griffin about three years ago from
New York state and since living here
has been engaged in truck farming.
A novel feature of the trial pester
day w»s that Mr. Rumbley selected
the men who composed the jury. It
was a whimsical request which the
ordinary granted.
Case Continued.
The commitment trial of Jerry
Ithodes, who is in jail charged with i
the murder of Bud Dickinson, was not
held yesterday as bad been announced, I
When Justice Sorrel called the case I
Col. Lloyd Cleveland, attorney for the
defense, asked that tha case be con
tinued for a few days until several im* '
portant witnesses could be summons
ed. He said he had not been retaind
in the case until that morning,
and in consulting with his client had
found that the witnesses had not been
subpoenaed and it was then too late to
Secure thepa.
Col. Thurman, who represented the
state, agreed to a continuance and the
case was set for next Friday, the 21th,
at 10 o’clock a tn.
Alas, Poor Bishop.
A well known bishop of the protes
tant Episcopal Church, while on a
summer’s outing, went fishing with a
friend, and in accordance with an un
written law of summer fishermen, the
provisions included beverages exceed
ing water in specific gravity, says the
New York Commercia'-Advertiser In
fact, the bishop in his fulness of heart
had bought a bottle of wine of ancient
vintage. He was very proud of his
purchase and guarded it jealously.
When the time came for lunch he
brought it out carefully and placed it
in the stern of the little boat.. The
fishing had been poor and he turned
to his friend and said :
“Look here, I'll try another cast,
just for luck, before we open this ”
But the cast, proved most unlucky
for the bishop, for the line caught
around the neck of the precious bot*
tie and jerked it cveib >ard. The
bishop, without saying a word, watch
ed the little bubbles as they ascended
through the water, then, with a sad
look and in a broken voice, he said to
his friend :
“Will you please do the honors for
this occasion? I can’t, for, unfortu
nately, I am a bishop.”

ADMINISTRATION ITEMS
i What the Presidential Party is Doing
in Thomasville
1 The following items are from the
Thomasville Times-Enterprise, which
also contains cuts showing the Presi
dent, Vice-President and Manager of
the administration, otherwise McKin
ley, Hobart and Mark Hannah. As
Thomasville is now looked upon as
the seat of the administration, as it
were, all items from there will be found
interesting reading :
President and Mrs. McKinley and
Vice-President and Mrs. Hobart, took
quite a drive yesterday afternoon,
going cut the Duncanville road to
Elsoma, thence by the boulevard to
other points of interest. They were
accompanied by their host, Senator
Hanna, who is leaving nothing undone
to make the time pass pleasantly for
his guests.
The moruing was a very pleasant
one, and the party enjoyed their first
ride through the pines very muefi.
Mr. Mel Hanna lunched with the
party at Senator Hanna’s residence at
1 o’clock.
The afternoon brought showers
which kept the party in doors. The
indications are that it will be pleasant
today and that the distinguished party
will get a glimpse of a typical day in
Thomasville.
The special train of private Pull
man’s on which the presidential party
came to Thomasville has been sent
back to Washington except the Presi
dent’s car. It is sidetracked at the
depot and will remain here until the
President leaves.
The southern people appreciate the
loyal manner in which Presideat Mc-
Kinley has stood by Geo. Joe Wheeler.
Lawton will make the Filipinos
walk Spanish. And that’s more than
the Spaniards were able to do.
Some parties about Santiago are
preparing to pull Uncle Sam’s leg,
judging from the following item in the
Savannah Morning News : “The idea
of making San Juan hill an American
national park, with cemetery and race
track divisions, probably emanated
from some land agent or the owner of
the place ”
One of the puzzling questions of the
day is: Is Gomez, Gen. Brocke or the
so called Cuban assembly on top? At
last accounts Gomez was siding with
Brooke, while the assembly was pour
ing hot shot into both. It will require 1
tact to prevent collisions in the “Queen
of the Antilles.”
“We are told that the Cubans,” says
the Enquirer Sun, of Columbus,”would
be fighting each other now, if the
Ametican army was not in control of
the island. We believe it. They have
been fighting so long that they are
unable to stand the monotony of
peace.”

You can’t keep a good thing down.
News of it travels fast. When things
are “the best” they become “the best

druggist, of Belleville, 0., writes:
“Electric Bitters are the beet selling

years experience.” You know why?

Fire in Cabins District-
Thursday night about 8 o’clock the
barn and contents of Mark Woodward,
colored, who lives in Cabin’s district,
near Luella, was burned to the ground,
as the result of incendiary ism
Mark had just bought a ton of
guano and stored it away in the barn
with his corn, hay, fodder, farming
utensils, harness, etc., all of which
were burned, and bis loss is estimated
at $l5O, with no insurance, which falls
heavy on him.
This is the second litre some ras
cal has applied the torch to his barn
in the last year.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1898,
FEARFUL RIOT IN HOT SPRINGS.
; Police and Sheriff’s Factions Fight
and Five Men Were Killed
. Hot Springs, March 15—Asa *e
i quel to a strict duel between Police
. man Goalee and Sheriff Williams and
[ his son today, a riot was precipitated
. here late this afternoon, iu which five
i men were killed. The police (action
and the sheriff’s faction met anj a
furious firing began. The streets were
crowded and wild excitement pre
vailed for a time. Chief of Police
Toler and Policeman Goalee were dead
on the police side, and on the other
side John O. Williams, son of the
sheriff, was mortally wounded, dying
soon after.
Louis Hinkle was killed by a stray
bullett.
Sheriff Williams was not present
when the battle occurred, but when he
learned of the death of his son, he be
came enraged and started another al*
fray, in which Detective Jim Hart was
shot to death. Pandemonium reigued
for an hour, but finally constables
quelled the excitment and cleared the
streets near the scene of the tragedy!
A new chief of police was sworn iu
tonight, and placed 150 officers about
the city.
Sheriff Williams has many armed
relatives, who may make trouble, it is
feared.
The first shooting grew out of the
campaign for mayor now under way
here. The sheriff was a warm sup*
porter of the regular democratic nom
inee, while Toler, Hart and Goalee
were supporting the opposing candi
date.
Early in the afternoon shots were
exchanged between Sheriff Williams
and his son John on one side, and
Sergeant Goalee on the other, but no
one was injured After this, both
pirties determined to have it out, and
went at it with the result stated above. ,
Millions Given Away,
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lie to know of one concern in the land
who are not ahead to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The pro
prietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and 1
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse
ness and all diseases of the Throat, ‘
Chest and Lungs are surelv cured by 1
it. Call on J. N Harris <fc Son, and i
Carlisle & Ward Druggist, and get a i
free trial bottle Regular size 50c, and i
111,00. Every battle guaranteed, or
price refunded. ■
The Country Wants Peace.
The American people are becoming ;
heartily weary of wars and rumors of f
war. We started out to fight Spain '
for a righteous cause, but having ad- i
ministered the punishment that coun
try deserved, the American people be- '
gan to hope and long for peace. We
are a patriotic people, but the Ameri
cans do not follow any one’s lead
blindly.
It is doubtful whether the people of
this country want the Philippine is
lands now, or that they will want them
hereafter.
Yet the administration has sent a
big army there, and fighting is going
on every day.
This is all right, provided it was
necessary , but was it necessary? 11
this country does not want the Phil
ippines, it would seem that the ad
ministration could have impressed
this fact upon Aguinaldo and other
Filipino leaders. If they hid done
this, fighting would have been unnec
essary. Os course we will crush down
the Filipinos, but what are we to do
with the country and people, after wo
accomplish this result? The Ameri
can public would like to have some
light thrown upon this subj-ct. li we
must fight at all, we think it is right
to do the job in a proper manner, just
as Gen. Otis is doing it io the Philip
pines. But even as the American

people read of victories, they sigh for
peace.
It would not be surprising if we
should be plunged into more fighting
in Cuba. The St-called Cuban a-sem
bly appears to be composed of a lot of
hot-headed politicians, who will make
trouble, if possible. It seems to us that
just at this ti.ne the administrate n
could relieve the strained situation in
Cuba by a frank and open announce*
ment of its plans and purposes in re
ference to the future of the island. The
country understands, in an indefinite
way, that at some time in the future
we will set up some form of govern
ment in Cuba, and turn the island
over to the Cubans. A more definite
declaration of bow and when this will
be done would doubtless have a quid*
ing effect on the disturbing elements
in Cuba. However, if matters are al
lowed to drift along, the first thing we
know there will be fighting in Cubi,
with American troops as participants.
Some real, patriotic statesmen are
badly needed at the head of the Amer
ican government just now. We have
no wish to be discourteous to the pres
ident, now visiting in Georgia, but it
does seem that be has been peculiarly
unfortunate in surrounding himself
with advisers. The people are heartily
sick and tired of war. The fighting
ought to be ended, somehow, so that
the country could settle down on a
peace basis once more. Business and
everything else will be more or less
demoralizsd as long as present condi
tions exist—Columbus Enquirer.

ikn Excellent Combination. |
' 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 <.ne
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the Icidnevs,
liver and bow els, without
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
i 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 hail 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
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 o! kidney trouble.
I Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
I 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.
