; GEORGIA AT THE FAIR.
\ ——
‘Macon, Ga., Telegraph.
1t is difficult to realize that
these are hard times, when we
look back and consider the mag
nificent crowd of well-dressed,
well-fed, well-behaved, rosy,
cheery, good-natured, hearty,
thoroughbred Georgians who have
for several days crowded Macon.
Hard times may rule, but surely
no where during this week have
the signs been prominent.
The week that has passed has
been one of enjoyment; the races,
walking matches and shooting
matches have furnished thousands
with amusement; the grand dis
play of animals and poultry have
enlightened, delightel and en
couraged many; the magnificent
exposition of Georgia prodnctions
have overvhelmed all. In addi
tion the people have been finely
accommodated by the public
citerers and carriers.
Here is eause for congratnlation.
The exhibits have, as remarked,
been splendid, but we contend
that the best show of the week was
Georgin’s spontaneounsa exhibition
of her people. The time was pro
pitious. Upon a mere hint they
came from every section of the
State, seeking amusement, but
chiefly from the mididle belt, and
we venturc to say that a larger
percent of beautiful girls, elegant
matrons, and sturdy, fine locking
men were never seen in any crowd
of similar size in any country at
any time. Standing among such
a people surrounded by the work
of their hands, triumphs of mas
caline strength and feminine skill,
surveying the evidence of the
‘State’s progress, who among them
could but feel his palse beat [aster
at the thought, these are Geor
gians. lam a Georgian. No
wonder when into the stranger’s
ear in distant lands the fame and
attractions of this sunny South
are rehearsed, his eye instinctive
ly pictures the hills and valleys of
Georgia. No wonder when the
bloody tracks of war were hidden
anderneath the first rush of grass
that the people rose and resumed
the control of their government;
no wonder that the signs of deso
lation were soon hidden, and the
pulse of industrial life beat stead
ily and strong. Such a people
cannot be enslaved by fate nor
circumstances. From the spirit
that animates them republics
spring MM its life.

“WILD FRANK.” °
A Thrilling Tzle of Life in the Far
West,
While awaiting the arrival of
the western-bound train a few
days ago on the platform of the
litle depot in Toyah, Texas, a
man of splendid physique, care
lessly dressed, armed to the tee'h
and mounted on a big blood bay
horse, rode across the plin at a
swinging gallop and drew rein op
posite where I was standin g.
This horseman was “Wild Frank”
Tower, an old friend and fellow
scout and one of the best-known,
honest, most reckless, dare-devil
rangers on the sout.: western fron
tier. Tower was born in Iwoa,
and when be came to Texas fif
teen years ago was & boy of seven
teen. He found employment at
a cow-ranche on the Pecos river
and the wild rough life he led in
camp and on the trail hardened
his muscles, steadied his nerves
and developed all of those coura
geous qualities which distinguish
frontiersmen. He became a su
perb horesman and wonderfully
skilled in the use of the six-shoot
er and Winchester. Theranche ad
joining the one where he was em
ployed was owned by a man nam
ed Flanigan, a hot-tempered, bru
tal fellow, brave as a lion and the
hero of many secrapes in which
fire arins had played an import
ant part. He had killed several
men and was feared and respecte d
accordingly. 'Wild Frank meg
Flanigan at a ““round up.” They
became involved in a quarrel over
the ownership of a cow. Tower
was cool and polite, but as firm
in the maintenance of his rights
as adamant. Tlanigan, accustom
ed tc ride down all opposition, ap
plied an insalting epithet to the
boy who dared to dispute with
him and, seizing his heavy riding
whip, sprang toward him.
“I'll give you a hundred lashes,
ve spindle-shanked pupy,” he hiss.
ed.
THRASHING A BULLY.
The cow-boys glanced at each
other apprehensively and Frank’s
friends, not daring to interfere, so
much did they fear Flanigan,
trembled for their companion’s
safety. The object of the bully’s
wrath faced the ruflian cooly.
“Don’t tounch me!” he ecried
wareingly, but Flanigan with a bit
ter cath, sprang upon the boy and
seizing him by the collar was
about to administer the threatened
chastisement.
Accounts differ isto Low it all
occurred. There was a chorus of
carses and loud cries, a fierce
struggle, the on-lookers heard the
swish-swish of thecuarte, and,
throuh the eloud of dust which en
veloped the combatants, saw Flani
gan writhing on the ground while
Irank was wielding the whip with
a quick and heavy bhand, rained
blow after Etlow on the bully's
head and face. The sharp lash
cut the flesh like a knife and the
blood streamed from many
wounds, an:l, mixing with the
choking dust, blinded the pros
trate man’s eyes. Several times
he endeavered to regain his feet
but he never succeeded and when
at last weak frcm pain and loss of
blood be fainted, Wild Frank
threw the bloody whip to the
ground and, mounting his horse,
rode away. The whole affair had
been so sudden and unexpected
and had resulted so differently
from what the spectators imagine
that the boy had disappeard be
hind a roll in the plain before the
astonitched cow-boys recovered
their senses. They raised the un
concious bully up, washed away
the blood and poured whisky
down his throat. He recovered
sufliciently to be assisted back to
his ranche and whan a week later
he was able to leuve his bed he
swore a big oath and vowed to
have Wild Frank's life.
Intelligence of Flanigan’s pur
pose was broughtto Frank. He
made no e~unter-threat, but there
was a peculiar gleam in his eyes
which led his informant to believe
that the boy would be ready.
About two weeks later at another
ranch, the two again met. Both
were mounted, and drawing his
Winchester from its secarbard
I'rank spurred his horse toward
the bully and shouted:”
“Look out, Flanigau!”
A DUEL ON HORSEBACK.
The racnhman raised his rifle
with a wicked light in his small
gray eyes. Both fired at the same
time and still pressing forward dis
charged their Winchesters in rap
id sucecession. Flanigan pitched
from his saddle with three bullets
in hisbodyand was satisfied that his
enemy was dead, Wild Frank vode
to the nearest ranger camp and
surrendered to the eomanding offi
cer. Public opinoin on the fron
tier has a greatinfiuence in a court
of law and Wild Frank was ac
quitted. The renger captain had
taken a faney to the boy and urg
ed him to become aseout. Accord
ly he enlisted in B company of the
frontier battalion and remained |
in the command several years. It
was a company of brave men, but
none were braver' than Wild
Frank. With a perfect discharge
of his own safety, he was always
in the front when dangerous work
was to be done and many times
risked his life in defense of a fel- ‘
low secout. Omne morning Captain
June Peake, the ranger comman
der, informed his men at roll eall
that he had a package of import
ant papers which he wished to
send to Seargent Floyl who was
in command of a detachment of
the scouts stationed 140 miles is
tant, on the lodge of the Great Pris
on plain. The country was full of
Indians and the misssion was adan
gerous one. The ecaptain asked
for a volunteer to make the hazar
dous ride and deliver the papers.
“I'm your man, captain,” quickly
answered Wild Frauk, as Le step
ped from the ranks, “When shall
I start?”
“Immediately,’ was the answer,
and when an hour later, the scout
rode out of the camp, his compan
ions bade him adois with sadlene ]
faces and tremouling voices.
“He will never make the trip,”
they said.
A BRUSH WITH INDIANS.
About fifty miles from the camp
Frank met seven Indians driving
a bunch of stolen horses. Intent
on the management of the stolen
animals the Indians failed to no
tice the approach of the scont.
When he was diseovered he open
ed fire upon them and, before
they had recovered from their as
tonishment, three of tleir num
ber lay dead on the plain. Then
they returned the intrepid man’s
flre and the tirst volley killed his
horse. Nothing baunted he drop
ped behind the body of the dead
animal and a bullet plowed through
his leg. The Indians set up an
exultant shout and spurred for
ward. Taking carenl aim at the
foremost Frank discharged his ri
fie and more than half of his eni
wios were destroyed. The Indians
retreated in dismay and took coun
sel as to the best means of attack.
After a lengthly pow-wow they
mounted their ponies and driving
the loose animals before them
they rode off. Frank rose to his
feet. His wound pained him and the
limb began to swell. A long jour
ney lay before him and he had no
horse. Limping painfully he
turned his fauce toward the setting
san determined to carry his dis
patches through safely or die.
First he scalped the four dead In
dians. A’'l that day, under the
burning sun, he erept across the
arid plain. His throat parched
with thirst and fever rioted in his
brain. He became delivious anl
raving and shouting, wandered
aimlessly over the plain. The next
morning a company of Uniteld
Sates soldiers, who had been follow
ing the trail of the Indians, over
hauled the woanded ranger and
going into camp nursed him back
to life and reason. When he was
fully recovered he was provid
with a horse and in three days de-
Eliveretl the papers that had bLeen
entrusted to his care to Searcut
Floyd. He made the jouruoy
Lback to the main camp safcly but
‘ha made no report of his alveut-
Lure and the story woull never
‘hava been known but for tho «old
iers. When the truth ecame o
Frank modestly admitted that he
had met a gmall bunch of Indians
and exhibited the scalps as tro
phies. He was a mighty Luote
and with fhe rangers kept u
well suppliod with fresh meat
Once in the Giugdalope mountain
while hunting for bear, ha came
’ncmas two-half grown cubs in a
'small canyon. He shot both, and
, was busily engaged insk'ning one
’of the dead animals when the
mother bear suddenly appeardand
leaped upon the unsuspecting
hunter. Hehad laid aside his
rifle and six-shooter and was arm
ed only with a hunting knife.
The attack of the monster was
so sudden that Frank coull only
lunge out with his kuife, anl tha |
man aud brute closed in mortal
combat. The stra sg!s lastal soma |
time and Frank’s elothes were torn |
into shreds. He was badiy
scratehed and braisad but bie finai
ly succeeded in plunging his knife
into the bear's heart and stagger
ed to his feet a victor. He had
been roughly handled iy the fight
and it was wecks before he recov- l
ered from iz injuries. |
AMONG THE MEXICANS.
When Frank left the rangers he
was determined upon having a
trip through ‘lexico and this was
one of his numerous adventures
in the land of the Montezamas.
He crossed the Rio Grande at
Presidio del Norte anl amrsed
himself for four or five days hunt
ing and fishing. Gam» of all 1
sorts was abundant and the simipla |
hearted peasantry were kind and ‘
hospitable. One afternoon the
sky beecame overeast, and when to
ward night a farions storm burst, I
he sought shelter at a easa rancho. |
No one was in sight when he rode |
up to the massive gate of the eor- ’
ral, and it was not until he had
pounded vigorously on the barri- \
er with the butt of his cuarte and l
called londly sevaral timos that
the door openad and a sour visaged
old Mexican woman appeard on
the threshold. Frank demand
ed shelter in Spanish, but before
the hag could reply a brutal lnok-‘
ing man who spoke English like
an American, dashed her ns‘idai
and bagan to question tha stran- |
ger. Frank's answers wers evi
dently %atisfactory, for the ranch- |
ero bade him enter and a poen
hoppled his horse and tarnel the
animal loose to graza, Frank’s '
host provided him with a change
of elothinz--his own was wet and
after supper conducted him to a
room. When the door openel a
yvoungz and beautiful girl rose up
and faced the two men inquiringly.
The ranchero addressed her.
“This stranger will eamp with
us, Eleana,” he saild. *“He will ce

with Dolores.
Tho ¢irl bowed anl, gathoring
up some fancy needlework upon
which she had boen enzaged, left

were alone, |

When he finaily vetired from

The room was comfortably, almost
luxarionsly furnished, and the
books which fillel the shelves of »
hangiug closet an 1 were seattered
about the room, the pictures on
the walls and the general air of
refinement convineed him that
the girl was far aboye the average of

He looked through the books and
soarched every bit of paper in
the voom but without finding a

and her strange surroundings
t'rank fell asleep to be aronsed by
some one gently shaking him. He
started up and discovered by the
dim light of a taper which she

He attempted to speak, but she

he said and started toward ber.
The nun shook her head and laid

ANOTHER FREAK OF NATURE.
The Woman Whose Scalp is Covered
With Rattlesnake Skin.
All the phenomena of the
human body are mnot yet by any
means understood by science, and
probably never will be, says a gen«
‘tleman writing from- Middleburg,
- Schoharie eounty, N. Y. It is very
'easy to verify the truth of what I
f amn about to write you.
l “Let anyone go up to'Polly
Hollow, a little settlement among
'the mountains, about four miles
eust of Middleburg, and ask for
Mrs. Jane Flagg. She is a widow,
|about forty-five years old, and
ilives in a tumble-down shanty
near the edge of the wood, on the
upper side of the narrow valley.
Eight years ago she was attacked
by a peculiar disease of the sealp.
At first her head was covered with
'sm-xll ulcers, while almost all her
hair fell out and would not grow
| again. Thedisease gave her such
torment that life for over a year
was only a burden. Finally she
went to an herb doctress, an old
mulatto woman, who then lived
tw) miles further up the moun
tain road, but who has died since
that time. This old hag, who bore
the reputation of being a witch,
told her to gather certain herbs
from a graveyard at midnight,
boil them, and then mix the de
coction with the blood and lacer
ated skin of a freshly killed rat
tlesnake and rab her head with
the ointment thus made. The
sufferer blindly followed this ad
vice, gathered the herbs as direci
ed and then began looking for a
rattlesnake. She offered a dollar
for one, and two young men went
up to the Niskeraw Mountain,
killed one and brought it to her.
Then she mixed all the ingredients
toge*her and rubbed the abomina
ble mixture upon her scalp. With
in a week the uleers began to heal.
She was overjoyed at this result,
‘and contmued to rub on the mix
ture oftener than ever. Within &
month from the time she first be
gan using it the disease had en
tirely disappeared, leaving the eu
tire scalp covered with healthy
healing. All the neighbors mar.
velled greatly at the cure, and the
old mulatto doctress suddenly
found herself famous in a small
way.
~ “But you can imagine every
oody¥’s astonishment when, after
about six weeks longer, the heal
ing on her head began to drop off
and revealed the startling fact
that the woman's head was cov
ered with rattlesnake skin. There
could be no mistake about it. The
hard, shining scales and the pecu
linr marking was exactly like the
skin of that most deadly of ser
peuts, the rattlesnake. What
strange effect the blood and macer
ated fragments of the skin of the
reptile she had used to make thoe
potion had produced upon her
scalp so as to make rattlesnake
skin grow upon it in place of the
‘natural skin, I do not pretend to
explain, nor do I believe any one
can. But, nevertheless, it is* &
fact, as any one who will take the
trouble to go up to Polly Hollow
can see for himself.”
Poor Old Vanderbiit,
I learn with much saduess that
Mr. William H. Vanderbilt's once
princely fortune has shriveled
down to $150,000,000. This piece
of information comes to me like &
clap of thunder out of a clear eky.
Once petted, fondled and caressed,
William H. Vanderbilt, shorn of
his wealth, and resting upen no
foundation but his sterlifig integ
rity, must struggle along with the
rest of us. In conclusion, I do
not know what to say, unless it be
to appeal to the newspaper men
of the country in Mr. Vanderbilt's
behalf. While he was rich he
was proud and arrogant. He
said: “Let the newspapers be
blankety, blanketed to blank,” or
words to that effect, but we do not
care for that. Let us forget all
ltlmt, and remember that his sad
