Murderer Wastes Away and Expires
In I) Kalb County Jail.
Atlanta, March 7.—Edward C. Flan
agan, the murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Al
len aud Miss Slack, died yesterday in a
ceil of the DeKalb county jail at Deca-*
tur.
H9 had been slowiy sinking and the
end wa3 not unexpected. He was alone
when deuh came. “Oh, God!’’ he cried
our, aud when his nurses rushed into
the room, ho was past human aid.
The celebrated murderer was bat a
skeleton; wasted away by a malady that
Nad attacked him two weeks ago, and
suffering from a gunshot wonud re
ceived on Jan. 19, when he, with other
prisoners, made a desperate and almost
successful attempt to escape.
He had been shot by Sheriff Talley,
who fired into the mob of prisoners.
Recently Ftauagan secured kerosene
and tincture of iron and poured both
liquids into the wound, which inflamed
it considerably.
It is said that he also drank kerosene
and tincture of iron, aud it is thought
this was what brought on the terrible
malady which was the cause of his
death. Flanagan’s legal representa
tives are of the opinion that his death
was the result of paranoia, "from which
they have contended their client was
suffering.

Electric Power For Washington.
Washington, Ga., March 5.—An en
terprise which will mean much for
\V askington is on foot. Anthony shoals,
16 miles from here, which has a 4,700-
horsepower, is to be harnessed and that
power electrically transmitted to Wash
iugtou. It is- given out on good au
thority that the Georgia railroad is at
the back of the enterprise and General
Manager Scott’s recent visit here prac
tically affirmed this belief. The power
brought here will not only build up
Washington, which is already the best
paying town the Georgia has on its
line, but from that same source will
come au electric railroad which will cir
cuit the county and act as a feeder to
the Georgia.
Watson Out of Politics.
Pf.arsox, Ga., March 5 —Politics are
exceedingly quiet in Coffee county. It
was amusing to see the Populist leaders
of the county, during the recent session
of the superior court, trying to hobnob
with Tom Watson, who was in attend-
at court for the purpose of prosecuting
the McRea murder case. They soon
discovered that he was present strictly
for business and not as a political oracie.
They hive discovered unmistakably
that Tom Watsouhas really returned to
the practice of law and the pursuit of-
happiness.

Washington, March 7.—Soon after the

Mississippi offered a resolution that

States, so long as a single gnu in their

course of the United States with re

Columbus, Ga., March 6. —A remark
able case of misfortune, continued and
persistent, is afforded in the sad and
nnnsal experience of the Crapps fam
ily, iu Phenix City.
A year ago P. Y. M. Crapps and fam
ily moved to Phenix City from Salem.
About five months ago a magliguant
form of typhoid fever developed in the
family. The wife died and the condi
tion of the children continued so des
perate that Mr. Crapps moved his resi
dence to another part of the city.
Strange to say, the condition of his
children grew worse, and others were
seized with the dread disease. One af
ter the other, three of his children died.
The family has since moved about re
peatedly, thinking that the sickness was
due to the peculiar conditions of some
part of the town, but the disease has
followed them steadily from one street
to another.
The last death was that of a young
man nearly grown, who was buried a
few days ago. Two more of the chil
dren are sick and may not recover.
There is general sympathy for the
afflicted family, aud the good people of
Phenix City are raising funds and
assisting them iu their trouble.

Porto Rican Bill Denounced.
Knoxville, March 6 —In an inter
view today Colonel L. D. Tyson, who
commanded the Sixth volunteer infan
try in Porto Rico, denounced the Porto
Rican tariff measure, declaring it an op
pression upon the people. He said he
and other military men promised the
natives a better government, and that
Spain had allowed them iree trade. He
regarded the president’s action in re

worthy, provided the people had asked
it, but he said the people wanted no
such favors.

Washington, March 7.—The present
indications are that all of the reciproc

under the authority of President Mc

fail of ratification. There has been hos

submission to the senate by President
McKinley.
The prospect seemed to brighten a lit

able teport was made by the committee
on foreign relations by the chairman,
Senator Davis of Minnesota. It ap

of this treaty was largely a courtesy to
Senator Davis, and does not represent
the views of all of the Republicans on
the committee.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of appendi
citis, nervofis prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of indigested

with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of
Green’s August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is

you. Sample bottles at H, B. mcmas-
