BOUTELLE’S BOOMERANG.
HE HID SOT KNOW HIS REBEL
FLAG RESOLUTION wAS
LOADED.
War Department Pacts For The Edifica¬
tion of Frenzy Foraker and His
Followers.
Washington, Jan. 31.—[Special-]
—In a few days the War Department
will have completed the reply that is
being made there to the Boutelle
resolution regarding the rebel flag
episode. The chances are, the fiery,
untamed statesman from Maine will
wish-he had never offered a resolution.
It will doubtless be to him a boome¬
rang, as the evidence which is put to¬
gether in one formidable document
in the War Department will show
that if any law has been violated by
the return of the captured trophies,
6orne of the Republican Secretaries of
War are the guilty ones.
The list so far Compiled shows that
there were a great many rebel flags
returned by Secretary Stanton. The
same thing has been done also by
other Republican Secretaries of War
The record will show, so it is alleged,
that there were more of the rebel
trophies returned to those making ap¬
plication for them during every sin
gle Republican Administration than
was^possibly contemplated by Secre¬
tary of War Endicott last June, when
be spoke to President Cleveland up¬
on the subject, whic-h brought forth
so much bioody-shirt oratory from
old palsy Fairchild and the snorting
Foraker. The reply will be sent to
Congress within a day or two, when
it i# expected a somewhat animated
scene will follow.
THE ICE KING’S PALACE.
Borealis Bex Takes Possession of His
Magnificent Abode at St. Paul.
Sr. Paul, Minn., Jan. 27.—Breezy,
sunshiny weather and a crowd of
35,000 people assisted at the en
trance of Borealis Rex Wednesday
afternoon. His Highness was attend
ed by some 1G0O members of the va
rious toboggan and snow shoe clubs,
and paraded the streets in bis icy
car of state, dragged by six milk
white horses, with polar bear outrid
ers. Reaching tte Ice Palace, Presi
dent George Thompson made a brief
address of welcome; Mayor Smith
presented the golden keys of the
Palace to the Ice King, who replied
with as much warmth as ho could.
Tonight the ice palace was turned
into a huge beacon, easily seen all
over the city, by myriad electric
lights withia its walls. The maze,
modeled after that of Hampton
Court Palace, excites much curious
interest. The huge twenty foot
stutae of Liucoln is not yet complet
ed. The street illumination, in
which many thousand colored lights
are used, began tom. L. and proved
as always, a most beautiful sight,
A large number of visitors from
the neighboring cities as well as
raaoy from the East arrived during
the day. There is every prospect
of settled tine weather, and for ten
days to come the fun will be kept up
with an ever varying programme of
night and day pageants, winter
sports and games, industrial parades,
Ere woiks, etc. Tomor.’ow will be

TWO MANY APPLICANTS.
A Georgia Man Who Adverbial for a
Wife.
Sara Goddard advertised for a wife
iu a Georgia paper two years ago.
Sam is a countryman, who bears a
striking resemblance to the uncle of
fciis country, though he is not so well
dressed. His advertisement was
about as follows:
“Wanted—A wife,
“I want a good affectionate wife
who will be a mother to my little
children. She must bo a good house¬
keeper and well disposed. I prefer
that she be light ctnnplexioned, but
no red headed woman need apply. I
have a homo with four children, two
hundred bushels of com and fifty
bushels of sweet potatoes.
“I catcli ’possums enough to cook
with the sweet potatoes.”
This advertisement was published
several times in Rome, and was cop¬
ied all over the country and in severs
al foreign papers. The replies be¬
gan to come in the second day from
different parts of the state, then from
adjoining states, and finally from
every part of the union. After a
month or so letters began to come
from other countries. A number
came from England and Scotland,
oue or two from Germany and one
from New Zealand. There were over
thousand letters in all. At first
Goddard was blithe and joyful. His
spirits rose and bubbled over in all
sorts of ingenious demonstration.
There were locks of Lair, miniature
boquets, and once in a wliiie a pho¬
tograph. The happy rustic exhibited
these trophies with undisgu sed satis¬
faction , and all went merrily with
tiini then. He was the most couited
rnar. la America.
By and by there came a reaction.
The great deeps of his heart were
broken up as his ponderous and un¬
couth effect ions were gradually dis¬
sipated among a legion of admirers.
He became dispondent, and finally
when the foreign letters began to
come m with twenty-five cents extra
postage on every other one he w
sick at heart. Sam never married.
At least not then. The subject
seemed to have gathered terrors with
its numbers and (ho reality of a
thousand sweethearts was far more
terrible than the rosy anticipation
that had preceded it. After two
years ol deliberation, Sam put all
these loves aside and took unto him
self a wife of his home acquaintance.
This is a true story and Sam Goddard
now lives happily near Rome.
“That Miss Jones is a uice-looking
girl, isu’t she ?"
“Yes, and slu 'd be the belle of the
town if it wasn’t for one thing.”
•‘What’s that i
“She has catarrh so bad it is unpleas¬
ant to bo near her. She lias tried a
dozen things ai d nothing helps her.
am sony. jor I like her, but that doesn t
make it any less disagreeablo for one
to be around her.”
Now if she had used Dr. Sage’s Cat¬
arrh liemeoy, there would hrve been
nothing of the kind said, for it will cure
catarrh every time.

People vs. Money.
The prosperity of our peoplo will
not be attained to any great extent
by tho purchu.it of property in Geor
gia, by persons residing out of the
state. The effect of mch investments
is favm-lL, but very slightly so.
Tho building of factories and shops
and railroads gives employment to
labor and increases the circulating
currency in our land, but for every
dollar of prosperity that would come
in this way, ten would como by
thicker settlement of our lanus.
The wealth of onr people is in
lauds. There wo have the
meet already made, which will
made more valnablo by an

one sixth of our 1 :nds can be culti
vated by our present population;
remaining five sixths must be
ductive. If only half of our
were cultivated, and no better
vated than they are now, the
from them would be three times
great as now.
But the increase of
population will bring improved
ods of culture. Intensive
would come with density of
tion, and our lands would go to
price that lands command at
north.
The price of land will be found
vary with density of population
