ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR SOLICITOR-GENERAL
I beg to formally announce to the
voters of the South Western Judicial
Circuit my candidacy for Solicitor-
General, the nomination for which
will likely occur within the next few
months. I shall greatly esteem the
support and influence of all the peo
ple of the circuit. If elected, my best
energies will be directed to a faithful
and conscientious discharge of the
duties of the office. Respectfully,

MARRIAGE EASY;
DIVORCE DIFFICULT
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 4
(Special)—“Make marriages easy
and divorce difficult,” was one of the
recommendations made by Alexander
Graham Bell in an address on the
improvement of the human race, be
fore a joint session of the American
Breeders’ Association and the Nat
ional Carnation Society yesterday.
“The improvement of the human
race depends largely upon two great
factors, heredity and environment,”
he said, “and we deal chiefly with
the question of heredity.”
Dr. Bell suggested that Congress
should provide for an ethnical survey
of the people of the United States
to determine which foreign elements
are beneficial to our population, and
which are harmful. “The grand spec
tacle,” he said, “is presented to our
eyes of a new people being gradually
evolved in the United States by the
mingling together of the different
races of the world in varying pro
portions. It is of the greatest con
sequence to us that the final result
should be the evolution of a higher
and nobler type of man in America,
and not deterioration of the nation.”
SENSIBLE HOBBY.
Well Known People Devote Spare
Time to Upbuilding Health.
There is no excuse today for any
person, unless afflicted with an incur
able disease, to remain sickly with the
great advance in medical discoveries.
Stomach troubles are scarcely
known to those who have physical cul
ture as their hobby.
To those suffering with indigestion
and stomach troubles, the discovery
of Mi-o-na stomach tablets is a bless
ing. This treatment strengthens the
muscles of the stomach and bowels
and cures the worst cases of indiges
tion and stomach weakness.
Dodson's Pharmacy show their faith
in the curative powers of Mi-o-na by
giving a guarantee with every 50-
cent box to refund the money unless
the remedy does all that is claimed
for it. They take the whole risk and
Mi-o-na will not cost you a penny un
less it cures.

I YOUNG MAN HAS
VERY LONG NAME
CLINTON, IA.. Feb. 4.—(Special)
—T. H. Lindleff, a prosperous young
grocerymen of this city, never signs
his full name to his communications,
and as his store front is only twenty
five feet across he uses only a part
of his name on his signboard.
“Through Trials and Tribulations
We Shall Enter the Kingdom of Hea
ven Lindleff” is his full name. It was
inflicted on him when he was too
young to defend himself. His par
ents disagreed as to his name, and
it was decided to open the Bible
at random and accept the first verse
they came to.
The name was the result.
The child was baptized with the
scriptural passage for a name, and
has prospered in spite of it. Though
he refuses to «ommit himself, it is
understood that the **H,” in his name,
as he has contracted it, stands for
"Heaven.” Whether the “T" is for
"Through,” "Trials,” cr "Tribula
tions” he refuses to say.

them a most excellent remedy. They
placed my kidneys in good condition
after I had used less than a box, and
I know r I was getting in bad shape on
account of weak kidneys. Every
morning the kidney secretions w T ould
be very thick and contained a sandy
sediment. My wife insisted that I use
Doan’s Kidney Pills as she heard them
well spoken of, and I sent, and got. a
box at Dodson’s Drug Store in Am
ericus. Though I thought they were
like other advertised remedies, I
ca nsay they have done me more good
than anything else I have ever taken.
I am glad I used them. I recommend
them to anybody suffering from kid

REDWOOD FOREST
GIVEN TO GOVERNMENT
Princely Gift of Chicago
Philanthropist.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.
(Special)—“Woodmen, spare that
tree!” This warning, bearing the
great seal and signature of Uncle
Sam and having behind it the menace
of the Big Stick, will b e promulgated
tomorrow by Chief Forester Gifford
Pinchot. As a result, nearly 300 acres
of giant redwood forest on the sou
thern slope of Mount Tamalpais, near
San Francisco, w r ill be declared a
national monument."
The forest, one of the few tracts of
giant redwoods now to be found
in a natural state in Californit, was
donated to the government by Wil
liam Kent of Chicago. The philan
thropist paid $50,000 for the tract
some years ago, but the redwood tim
ber alone is now valued at over
$125,000, so that the gift is a liberal
one. The new “national monument”
will be known in the future as Muir
Woods,, in honor of John Muir, the
distinguished naturalist. The gaint
trees will now be given permanent
protection, under virtue of the law
w'hich provides that objects of scien
tific interest may be declared national
monuments. The government grove
will be a pleasure ground for the peo
ple of San Francisco, Oakland and
other cities in the vicinity, as well
as an object of scentific interest to
visitors from all parts of the w - orld.
So long as th e land remains in
private ownership, there is always
danger that the trees will be attacked,
and Mr. Kent feared this, but as a
national monument they w'ill be safe.
Originally this land w r as part of
the old Spanish grant, “Rancho Sau
salito.” The largest redwoods are
eighteen feet in diameter at the butt,
and will approach three hundred in
height, rising with perfectly straight
and clean .stems. As none of the big
trees has been cut, their age is, of
course, somewhat'problematical, but
it is safe to say that the veterans
have stood from one thousand to fif
teen hundred years.
Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured in
3 Days.
Morton L. Hill, of Eebanon, Ind.,
says: “My wife had Inflammatory
Rheumastism in every muscle and
joint; her suffering was terrible and
her body and face were swollen al
most beyond recognition; had been in
bed for six wheeks and had eight phy
sicians, but received no benefit until
she tried Dr. Detchon's Relief for
Rheumatism. It gave relief and she
was able to w r alk about in three days.
I am sure it saved her life.” Sold by

CHARMING COMEDY AT
OPERA HOUSE MONDAY
“The Mayor of Tokio" a
Gorgeous Production.
Beautiful scenery and gorgeous
costumes are features of the new
farcial opera, the best Richard Carle
has ever written. “The Mayor of
Tokio," .that will be seen at Glover’s
Opera House next Monday night.
The pink and white parasol of gay
Japan never seems to lose its pro
perty of casting rose lights over a
couple of hours of dance, dialogue
and song. Mr. Carle’s new Japanese
sunshade covers a corpulent Tokio
Mayor and his charming daughter a
disagreeable middle aged Minister of
State who insists upon marrying that
daughter; an explosive Russian with
a bomb; a pretty American girl, and
last, but not least, a stranded Ameri
can opera troupe much the worse for
wear on their w r ay home from Austra
lia.
This forlorn band of Kidder's Kon
solidated Komiques consists of Mar
cus Orlando Kidder, the exuberant
but penniless impresario; a wardrobe
mistress of uncertain age, w - ith deep
furrows in her face and disposition;
a tenor, a song-book boy, a soubrette,
and a bedraggled peanut ballet. Hap
pily they are all taken for princes and
princesses in disguise by the cheerful
Tokians.
There is a bit of a plot. The
Mayor’s daughter, the Princess Oloto,
falls in love wit-h the tenor of the
Komiques, and of course, he really
isn’t a singer at all, save for the
time being—until his wealthy fa
ther, an American, turns up with
the steam yacht in time to see the
end of the last act.
The story swings along easily while
gorgeously dressed Jap men and
maidens trip about and form pretty
backgrounds for songs and special
ties. The music is said to be parti
cularly bright, tuneful and catchy,
the work of W. F. Peters. Mr. John
L. Kearney is seen to decided advan
tage in the role of Marcus Orlando
Kidder, this unctious and grotesque
drolleries keep the ball of fun roll
ing at high speed during the perfor
mance.
"It. will be a great show,” said
Manager Lucas, of the Opera House,
yesterday. \V e are expecting a crowd
ed house. There are seventy-five
people in the show, which is more
than three times the number carried
by any company which has come to
Americus this season. As a musical
comedy, it is one of the very best. I
am sure everybody will be delighted.”

WOMEN BLAMED
FOR RECENT PANIC
Angered by Bank's Refusal
of Note.
PA.. Feb. 4.
(Special)—The answer of the defense
in the Linderman bankruptcy proceed
ings will be filed here Wednesday.
It is said by those close to the
case that before the Linderman inci
dent is closed it will be revealed that
the copper collapse of FJO7 which in
volved him in ruin and which began
the genera! panic and started in the
idle gossip of two women.
One of the women said to be con
nected with the origin of the trouble
which later involved C. W. Morse and
the Heinzes is the Countess Onaloff,
and the other a woman from Montana*
whose n«me has thus far not been
made public. She is said to have been
a friend of the Heinzes in the old
Montana days.
Mr. Linderman, at the time interest
ed in the copper market with the
Heinzes, met the Russian Countess,
and he and his wife became greatly
interested in her. Little was known
of her antecedents. She is said to be
beautiful and brilliant and was often
a guest at the Linderman- home in
South Bethlehem.
She fascinated all who came in con
tact with her. not only by her graces,
but by her enthusiasm in her plan
to make untold millions in the cop
per pool, whose collapse caused the
panic.
The very first trouble in the finan
cial sky was the result, it is said, of
an attempt made by the Countess to
realize at Tiffany's on a $15,000 note
given by Mr. Linderman for copper
stock. The credit man at Tiffany's
after an investigation, decided not
to accept , the note. The Countess
complained to the Montana woman,
who thought the refsal to accept the
note unwarranted.
The two women complained to other
women at their teas and other social
gatherings. Finally the story of the
refusal of the note got to the ears of
women guests who were wives and
sisters of brokers and financiers not
friendly to the Morse-Heinze-Linder
man copper pool, and in that way the
secret got out.
HAYWOOD TRYING
TC LAUNCH UNION
DENVER, COLO., Feb. 4.—(Special)
—A new labor movement, involving
th e organization of workingmen of
all kinds on industrial rather than
craft lines, has been launched in Den
ver by the executive board of the Wes
tern Federation of Miners, and an at
tempt will b e made to make it nation
al in extent. The first general con
vention wijl be held in Chicago on
April 6, when delegations are ex
pected from the Western Federation
of Miners, the Industrial Workers of
the World, the United Mine Workers
of America, the United Brewery Work
ers, and other national and internat
ional laboy unions.
It is understood that William D.
Haywood, who was recently acquitted
of the murder of ex-Governor Steuen
enberg in Idaho and who will prob
ably be the Socialist candidate for ;
president this year, is the leader in I
the new movement. The union will
not be directly affiliated with any
political party, but will be Socialistic
in its tendencies.

Mattewan differs from other insti
j tutions for the criminal insane in
many respects. Clearly defined lines
i of distinction are made among the
inmates. That part of the asylum set
apart for the class in which Harry
Thaw is ordered to be placed is re
markable for * its appointments. Mo
ther, wife, brother, or friend may sit
with him for hours, in a handsomely
decorated loggia, with flood of red
tiles, painted walls, and carved ceil

I ish.
When not in the loggia with his
; friends or relatives. Thaw may walk
out upon the beautiful lawns and
among th e gardens", or in bad weath
er he may stroll beneath covered
courts. When not thus occupied he
may sit in the library and read or
1 play games of caiMs with others of
j his class.
Among Thaw’s associates at Matte
wan will be men who ar e willing to
devote twelve hours out of the twen
ty-four to different sorts of games,
lie will be permitted to dress to suit
his peculiar whim or fancy. He will
enjoy perfect freedom and although
at all times under observation, there
is mo guard hanging aroundj to dis
turb one’s peace of mind. There may
be keepers strolling here and there
about the asylum, always on the look
out. but these officials are not in uni

from visitors, of whom there are
scores who visit the instituion daily,
some to see friends and others for the

POVERTY NO BAR
TC GET THIS TITLE
LONDON, Feb. 3.—(Special)—The
wealthy young Marquis of Angelesly
will leave shortly for an extended
tour of America, and London soci
ety will be surprised if he returns
without a wife. It is known that he
is infatuated with American women
and that his trip to the new world is
made for tn e purpose of affording
opportunity to inspect the pick and
pink of American feminity on their
native soil.
Ever since he reached his. majority,
English mammas have been seeking
to interest the Marquis of Anglesesey
in their eligible daughters; but with
out avail. The young nobleman is
apparently determined uf>on an Amer
ican wife and the efforts of London
matchmakers have gone for naught.
The marquis is one of the wealth
iest of English noblemen, his income
being in the neighborhood of sl,-
000,000 a year. Money will decidedly
not be bis object in selecting a wife,
so the poor but charming girls of the
land across the sea will have an
equal chance with their richer sis
ters in winning the heart, title and
fortune of the young marquis.
In the District Court of the United
States for the Western Division of
the Southern District of Georgia.
Notice of petition for discharge in
the matter of A. F. Holt, Americus,
Sumter County, Georgia. In Bank
ruptcy.
To the creditors of the above named.
Bankrupt: You are hereby 5 notified
that the above named Bankrupt has
filed his petitipn for a discharge from
all the debts provable in bankruptcy
against the said A. F. ’’’Holt. The
said petition will be heard by the Hon
orable Emory Speer, Judge of the
United States District Court for said
District and Division at the United
States Court House in the city of Ma
con, Ga.. on the loth day of February,
A. D., 1908 at 10 o’clock, a. m. All
creditors of the said Bankrupt are
hereby notified to be and appear at
the time and place stated and show
cause if any they can why the prayer
contained in the said petition should
not be granted.

CHAMPION EATER
STARVED FOR FOOD
WATERI.OO, ILL, Feb. 4.—(Special)
—Once the greatest eater in the poor
house here, Henry Terchenroeder is
dead of self-inflicted starvation. His
fame as a heavy eater began to prey
on his mind, and fifteen days ago he
refused to take any more food, and i
slowly wasted until he died.
On one occasion recently Terchen
roeder at e five -pounds of beefsteak,
three pounds of potatoes, two loaves
of bread, one can of tomatoes, one
half pound of butter, two pies, and
six side dishes of lesser proportion,
all at one meal, and washed it down
with six cups of coffee.
When he read the feat in a news
paper he said: “I guess I’ll quit
this.” He was seventy years old, com
ing to Illinois from Sweden in 1845.
There’s no girl so huggable as the
