•‘grand review” and then quietly marched;
away to begin life’s fray anew. Rebel fdiol
©ml shell, the dread mia'ina of the southern
swamp, sleepless nights and wearisome days
had depleted their ranks until only a hand,
ftil remained. Among the number Asa Rob
inson came bark to the old li
Sterling, Ills.; that he had left at the rail to
arms four years previous, lie went away
the first flush of vigorous manhood; liecu
back a ghost of the self that answered to
President Lincoln’s call for” 300,000 more.”
With Ins return to the o!u homestead
there came to him the knowledge that war
with him was onlv begun; that he mmt
fight the battle with disease to the end of his
days; that the glare of a southern sun and
the galling fire of a southern soldiery were
os nothing compared to the onslaught of an
enemy that fought under cover and disre
garded all the rules of civilized warfare.
Hciatic rheumatism fastened its fangs upon
him, incapacitating him for manual labor and
rendering him, much of the time, physically
ae helpless a* an infant. The years passed
by, but his suflerings, with increasing ope,
were increased rather than diminished, lie
spent a small fortune for doctor’s medicine,
praying for even temporary relief, but it did
not conic.
To-day he la nu alert, active man of fifty-
five yeurs. ills rheumatic pains have de
ported, and while there are traces of his
years of suflering in his face lie walks with
the soldierly bearing and springy step ofu
healthy young man.
To the Dcmocrn!• Message reporter he talked
freely about bis ease. Mr. Itohin.-on is a man
much more than average education and
intelligence. Where he is known in Brown
County his word is as acceptable ns the bond
of the average man, and there is no question
hat that in his case an almost miraculous cure
was wrought by Dr. Williams* Pink Pills fo2

New York, Feb. 18.—Miss Frances

shortly after midnight at the Hotel Em-
THE KANSAS PACIFIC STEAL.
The Kansas Pacific Kailroad earns a
net income of over $1,000,000 a year.
This moans that it has an open mar
ket value of at least 25,000,000.
The Government’s claim against itia
11,929,600. Ahead of that claim is a
first mortgage of $7,282,000 which tho
Government must satisfy if it should
bay the road. Thna for $20,210,600the
Government conld secure a property
which actnally paya 4per cent, interest
o .i twenty-five millions.
Again, if the Government should bny,
its purchase would utterly extinguish
more than $11,000,000 of junior mort
gage bonds, held by the proposed pur-
chaaing syndicate and its clients, while
if the syndicate buys,this claim of $11,-
000,000 remains good.
It ia absolutely certain, therefore,
that if the Government should bid the
full amount of its claim—$12,929,000
the ayudicate would bid more, Tho
Government would get back all its
money, as it should.
But for aome still mysterious reason
the government has agreed that the
syndicate shall get the property forless
than one-half the Goverumcnt’s claim.
That ia to aay, the Adminiaration has
bargained to give the syndicate $0,020,
690 of the people’s money.
The thing ia a'steal. Congress ought
to atop it.—New York World.
CANNOT CHANGE THE RESULT.
When Col. Candler scut his resigna
tion as Secretary of State to the Gov
ernor. he helped his own cause more
si a gubernatorial candidate aud open
ed the way for more trouble for Gov.
Atkinson than be did when he sent out
liis circular letter atlaeking the politi
cians who were instrumental iu haviug
the governor nominated iu 1894.
He helped hie own cause bceanse the
people more willingly help a man who
hasn't an office to got one than to assist
a man to atop from one high place int.
unotber still higher.—Savannah News
Phil Cook is a chip of the old block
and bids fair to become as popular as
his father, the General. It is almost
certain that be will be tho next secre
tary of Btate of Georgia. Governor
Atkinson might make n long story
short, and appoint Senator Cook to
fill ont the unexpired term, of Mr.
Candler.
Hon. Boykin Wright of Augusta,
one of the staunchest, most level head
ed democrats in Georgia, was approach
ed and in reply to a question by the
reporter abont the now famous Candler
letter, he said:
‘‘I have been so bnsy in the conrts
that little time has been spared me for
considering the matter; besides I am
not in politics.”
“Do you think the letter will hurt
Candler’s candidacy?"
“It will probably make a fight neces
sary where otherwise there wonld havo
been none, bnt the result will be tho
same so far as I can judge. The letter
of Caudler ia being used only as a pro
text for opposing him by those who
were already against him.
The criticism Of Governor Atkinson
and his manner of dominating the par
ty in 1894 is not a new criticism; nor
is it Ruch a crimo as will destroy Col
onel Candler with the great rank and
file of the Georgia democrats. Wo all
know wbat happened in 1894; we all
know bow the machinery of the party-
got into tho hands of Mr. Atkinson
and a few of his friends.
"After 1894 tho party apoke on this
snbjeot and declnred against tho meth
ods then in vogue. Co-temporaneons
primaries all over the stato have since
been provided for the specific purpose
of curing the evil.
“It is a little peculiar, to say the
least of it, fur certain purtics to profess
to bo mad with Caudler for saying iu
effect what tho whole party has already
declarod. Of course thu language used
in the letter was unfortunate and nn-
gnarded; bnt it must he remembered
that it was the unstudied words of a
private letter to a personal friend, and
not a formal declaration of a platform. ”
Of all diseases, Bright’s disease of
the kidneys is the most dangerous, on
ocoountof its subtle and iusidious na
ture. Usually it is firmly fixed before
it* presence is even suspected by its
victim. For this reason it is impor
tant that the treatment be commenced
on theappearance of tbefirst symp
toms. Even then it requires careful
treatment to stay its progress, l’ains
in the back, irregularities in the urine,
swelling of the limbs or abdomen,
should be the subject of instant inves
ligation and the projier remedy imme
oiatly applied. Dr. J. U. McLean's
Liver and Kidney Balm has proved in
thonsanda of severe cases its efficacy in
enringthia terrible disease. Price $t. 00
a bottle. Hold by the Daveniiort Drug
Company.
Man langbs at woman because she

Senator Clay has issued a call for a
meeting of the state executive commit
tee. The call is made from Washing
ton and rends:
The members of tho statu demo
cratic executive committee are request
ed to meet at the Kimball Bouse,
March 17th, 1898, at 11 o’clock a. in.,
to fix tho time for holding the Htatu
convention aud to fix thu time aud pro
vide the manner for holding primary
elections to nom inatc governor uml
state house officers and for other pur
poses. I will tUauk the newspapers of
the state to copy this notice.
A. 8. CLAY, Chairman.”
An exchange asks why docs Judge
Atkinson hasten to have the people
understand he is not related to the
governor? It is true the judge aud
the governor are no kin by blood, but
politically they may bo classed as twin
brothers, iu the opinion of Tiik Times-
Kicohpkh.
c MISS FRANCES E. WILLARD,
pirc, this city. She had been ill for
about three weeks.
Her physician raado tbj following
statement tonight:
"Miss Willard had suffer, d far
with profound anemia, and on snvcral
occasions had been given nptodie. Last
summer she seemed to take i.n a new
lease of life and gained iu weight and
strength so that she went through her
convention work at Torontoand Buffalo,
which was most arduous, and came out
innch better than was expected, but on
her arrival here five weeks ago sho was
mnch prostrated uml readily took'tho
grip, which attacked the stomach, liver,
intestines and later the nervous system.
“The disease progressed favorably and
in many respects she hud much im
proved, when tho fatal issue came and
overwhelmed the nerve centers. There
was no cancerous degradation of any
organ as has been stated. "
Thera will be funeral services in New
York city and later in Evanston, Ills.,
Miss Willard’s home, where the body
will be taken.
Frances Elizabeth Willard was Ixiru

Sho was graduated at Northwestern Fe

became professor of natural science them
in 1862 and was principal of Ueuessee
Wesleyan seminary in 180d-(i7.
Miss Willard left her profession in
1874 to identify herself with tho Wont
on’s Christian Tempore union, serv
ing as corresponding so -clary of the
national organization u il 1979 and
since that date as presio. or.
In 1HX6 she accepted the leadership of
the White Cross movement i:i her own

temperance and other reforms.
HE DID NOT FEEL AT HOME.
Artie Explorer Nansen Unfavorably
Impressed With America.
London, Fob. 19.—In spite of Major
Pond’s denials, while Dr. Nansen lias
not publicly or to reporters criticised
America, ho has been remarkably frank
in talking with his friends and docs not
conceal the fact that he lias l»s-n unfa
vorably impressed with American life.
He has a great grievance against what
ho terms the “inventions of tbo Ameri
can reporters, ” und ho did nut like his
audiences.
"I feel at home here,” in- said, "bnt
there, iu spite of the crowds, I felt a
lack of sympathy with my scientific
achievements. In many cases the peo
ple wanted to suin', and they wonld
nave been equally pleased if I had got
np anil sung a comic song.”
Tiik Sparta Ishmaelite says it has no
point to make on Mark Harden's fitness
for office. It just prefers I’hil Cook,
who is equally as competent and who
hasn’t been a constant quantity iu
office.
ffr. cannot see auy good reason why
lion. K. B. Lewis should not succeed
himself a* representative in congress
from tho Third district of Georgia.
Hia record is decidedly good. - Hous

London, Feb. 19.—The tinier of the

cussed with great glee here by Tile
Daily Chronicle, The Daily Mud and
other newspapers, Vanity Fair declaring
that it is quite the nature of things that
such nil order should Isp Wn in New
York, adding: “It is always the
publican, the man of democratic, if not
of socialistic tendencies, who lias the
keenest appreciation of the advantage*
winch aristocracy possesses. ”
To Exempt Manufacturers.
N ashville, Feb. 19.—Tho directors of
the chandler of commerce thisaftemoon

DOCTORS AGREE'.
Recent investigations by the authorities of several States have at
tracted attention to proprietary medicines, and there isa marked dispo
sition to draw a sharp line of distinction between mysterious nostrums
and worthy articles of scientific compound and known character.
“Many proprietary medicines," says a leading
physician, •• are the best possible prescriptions for the
diseases which they are made to cure. It is certainly I
only reasonable to expect that chemists of*
world-wide reputation and unlimited re
sources ought to make compounds with excep
tional skill, and it is manifestly to their in-
terest A to have their ingredients fresh and
pure. Take, for example, Lippman's great
remedy, popularly known ns P. P. P.
The formula Is on every bottle. Every
physician knows that the ingredients are ,
the best possible remedies for purify
ing the blood, and the compound is
a scientific one, which increases the
efficiency of the whole. I some
times prescribe special mixtures
for Blood Poisoning, Scrofulous
Affections, Catarrh, Eczema and other
complaintsarising from impure and weak c
blood, but I always feel safest in prescribing P. P. P., especially where
I am not personally acquainted with the druggist. In prescribing
!*. P- P- (Lippman’s Great Remedy), I know I am taking no chances.’*
When doctors feel such confidence in a standard remedy, it is
no wonder that the general public insist upon having It. - ,
P. P. P. is sold by all druggists. $i a bottle; six bottles, $5.0J
