THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: WEDNESDAY. APRTL 8. 189U SPRING FEVER At this time of the year the blood changes, its cir- eolation is. sluggish and the system is not properly nourished. The result is loss of appetite, weakness, an oppressive feeling of fullness, too hot, and Oh! so tired. To cure and pre vent Spring Fever take Simmons Liver Regulator. All nature is now waking and everybody should in vigorate the liver, kid neys and bowels with Sim mons Liver Regulator and they would not have so much biliousness, head ache, dyspepsia and mala ria all the rest of the year. You would not expect a plant to work off a win ter’s decay and bloom as good as ever without atten tion in the Spring. Don’t expect it of your system. Take Simmons Liver Reg ulator.

The moet anxious problem which just now disturbs the leaders of the Farmers' Alliance is how to deal with the Cincin nati political oonferenco which has been called for May 1ft, The popular impres sion regarding this conference is that it will be held with the tacit, if not the avowed, approval of the Alliance, and that the real political plans of the Alli ance will there be put forward. Such, indeed, is not the fact; hence ths embar rassment of the Alliance leaders, compli cated by the impatient demands of the more hot-headed of their followers. The situation Is so difficult that the national formulators of the Alliance policy feel that they have infinately more danger to fear from their friends just from that locality all the time, but the contest is getting so earnest that the sources of the opp< covered.” ) opposition are being MONGOLIAN PHEASANTS.

Archbishop Close of Portland, Ore, writes a* follows in answer to a letter from Col. K. W. Jemison on this subject: •'Portland, Ore., March 31—R. W.

The Cincinnati meeting will undoubt edly prove to be a political fiasco. The Alliance leaders know and acknowledge this, and they also feel that it will thero- foro l>e regarded os a groat collapse of the plans and power of the Alliance in poli tics. Yet they hesitate to denounce the movement unreservedly, because moat of the people who aro helping it along are their friends and thousands of the rank and file of the order aro in sympathy with it. The impatience of the Western Alii- ancemcn U almost impossible to control. The men who scalped Ingalls in Kansas are continually crying for blood and they demand {immediate battle allfalong the lice. The national leaders are at their wits' ends to furnish food for this insa tiable appetite for war without destroy ing what they believe are the Alliance’s chances of success iu 1892. They fear the effect upon their own followers of a summary squelching of the Cincinnati outbreak. The dilemmA will have to be met right speedily. If the Cincinnati meeting U tallowed to develop into a demagogical outbreak that will merely excite popular derUioo, the effect upon the Alliance will be almost disastrous. The chances are, therefore, that before the 19th of May the Alliance, and the Citizrff’s Alliance as well, will, through their national officers, utterly dUcredit and repudiate the Cincinnati conference. Certain it is that neither the Alliance nor the Citizens’ Alliance will tie repre sented at Cincinnati. The conference has been called by individuals, and it will i e held under only individual aus pice* What will result from It ;nobody can telL it will be an odd gathering, representing probably as many shades of political opinion as there are individuals composing it. But the discussion of the Cincinnati movement has forced a clearer expos; of the real political plans of the Alliance and Its allied oi sanitations. The leader* acknowledge now, in so msny words, that a national third party is sure to take the field early next year. The National Citizens’ Alliance, organ of the ordor of the same name, says editorially; “Five of the large bodies of organized workers, the National Farmers' Alliance, the National Farmers’^Alliance and Inj Farmers' Alliance, the Knights of Labor and the National Citizene’ Alliance have agreed upon the 324 of February, 1892, as the date when a convention shall be held composed of representatives from all of these bodies, and such other or gan ir*ri bodies a» may rhonae to partlci- pate, with the object in view of forming a third political party tor the campaign of 1892; that a third party will be formed there is no longer a question of doubt; that today a large majority of the hun dreds of thousands of members of these organizations are daily becoming edu cated to see the matter in t»*t light is true, that a spirit of enthusiasm upon this issue Is on the inctease, and that it bodes the politicians in the two eld par ties no good, is not to be gsiusaid; tbst they are sorely worried about it is also •erenL” alliance leaders have made up SAVED TllEllt NECKS.

Judge Baldwin, with a career of more than forty years at the bar, proved to be one of the most valuable contributors. ‘‘One of the most remarkable cases that has ever oome to my notice,” said Judge Baldwin, “was that of the two Booms, who were convicted years ago in the supreme court of Vermont, in Bennington county of the murder of Russell Colvin. It ap pears that Colvin, who was a brother-in- iaw of the prisoners^ was a person of weak mind, and was considered burdensome to the family of the prisoners, who were obliged to support him; that at the time •i»n biS disappearance he was in a distant man n .. _» ‘ r .i . t_.

They have eaid all along that in that event there would be a new party, and so they are getting everything ready for neat year. They expect tue Citizene' Alliance to take care of the cities. The Citizens* Alliance is doing the best it can. but it is encountering some difhcultiee which do not trout le the Farmers' Alliance much. Chief among these is the difficulty in keeping local leadership out of the bands of tiie labor leaders and socialistic •houttrs, who are anxious to gaiu influ ence and dollars by means of ibe new agitation. The Citizens’ Alliance U.den believe they will gain support from a large class of roiers who never before Identified themselves with a labor movement, provided thsy can suppreM the demagogues who disgust intelligent men by their anarchistic howling and indiscriminate denunciations of the oppression of capital. Jerry Simpson and Ralph Bsaumont are still entertaining the New Englanders in their campaign of education. They are doing missionary work for the Citi zens'Alliance, and they think the de serted farms of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont furnish an argument which should gain them hearty support among the impoverished agriculturists, and the urban residents as wall, In New England. The Alliance la already talking about what it has done and is doing in New York state. National Secretary Turner told a Hun rep ru r in Washington the other day that the membership in the state is now between 8,000 and 10,000. Five county organizations have alrimdy been | formed and aix more will be organ ized before the State Alliance is chartered, April 22. There are sixty-five sub-alliances .in Allegany county alone, with a membership of more than 2,900. The Alliance leader of |Bo!ivar, N. Y., in iu last issue says: “We have begun the reform. As we look down the list of supervisors that have been recently elected, and who are to be the legislator) of Allegany county for the riMrtinv year ; w« find that the al liance bos had an awful effect At least seventeen of the twenty-nine of the next board of supervisors will be AUiancemsn. In reading the party papers we find nothing is said about the aid which the alliance lent in their election, but simply •aye Republican or Democrat, and thie is all' right tines thsy ars Republicans and Democrau the earns as of old. But they ore not the same class of men whom these old parties have been in the habit of electing. We are not working this reform for honor, but for profit and the welfare of the country at larga” Jerry Simpson is going to inaks a ■tumping tour through the state early in April. He is expected to speak in this city on Monday next. There seems to be Ia n<- vnl I Km Kiln's in till. field where the prisoners were at work; that a violent quarrel hod broken out be tween them, and that one of them had struck him a severe blow on the back of the head with a club, which felled him to the ground. Borne suspicions arose at the time that he was murdered, and there sub- icions were increased by the finding of his at in the same field a few months after ward. “These suspicions in process of time subsided, but later one of the neighbors, having repeatedly dreamed of the murder with great minuteness of circumstance#, both in regard to the missing man’s death and the concealment of his remains, the Booms were vehemently accused and gen erally believed to be guilty oi the murder. After a dose search the pocket-knife of Colvin and a button of his clothes were found in an old open cellar in the same field in which he had been seen, and in a hollow stump not many rods from it were discovered nails and a number of bones believed to be those of a man. “Just prior to their trials friends of the Boorns said that the evidence against them was too unmistakably plain for them to longer hold out, and urged them to make a clean breast of the entire matter, hold ing that if they did so they wonld doubtedly gel their sentence of death— which vu sure to be the result of their trial—commuted to imprisonment for life. “They were tried and sentenced to be hanged. Their friends renewed their re quest that they make a full confession. Une of them finally complied with the re- it, detailing a long story as to just how murder had been committed. The other confessed, but with great reluctance and doggedness, and would not go into details. “The one who had made the full confess ion had the sentence of death commuted, while the sentence of the penalty of the law was ordered carried out in the case of the ether. “As the day of the execution approached the doomed man made a declaration that he and his brother had lied; lied outra geously ; and that for his part ho would not risk facing his maker with so awful a lie upon his soul. The declaration was received simply as an act of supreme cow ardice in the face of death, and caused all but two or throe of the most intimate friends of the maker of it to turn^against minds o r,h e entire community, was it that both men were guilty beyond all possible doubt. “The last sunrise but one, for the doomed mao, was jnst Hooding his Vermont home when who ehould appear aa the door but Russell Colvin—the man for the murder of whom Boorn was on the morrow to he executed. The explanation of the whole matter,” added Judge Baldwin, “is simple in its character. “The two Booms had jumped upon Col vin in the field and beaten him. He had escaped from them, leaving his hat behind, and so overpowered was be with fear that he continued his flight until he found him self in New Jemy. At the last moment ho had learned that one of his persecutors was about to be hanged aa his murderer, and although he had suffered great bru tality at his hands, Colvin immediately an'inclinalion to ac »pt the Bun’s invita tion to sotabllsh active Alliance prop* ganda right in the metropolis The Ctti- zeoa* Alliance will establish branches hero right off, and lha Wall Street Farmer will probably soon become the I iw-w . ~ I -AlUancr state organ.

As fer the confessions the Booms made—particularly the fall and very ex plicit one—they were made simply for one purpose, that of trying to save their necks. “vV bile addressing the jure in a criminal case a few years ago,” continued the judge, “I found myself at a lose for a suitable story with which to illustrate the greatgpd supreme need existing for calm judgment •nd a complete investigation, particularly when human life was at stake, and so I manufactured this one: “A panenger train waa pulling into a station of a little New England town. The engineer had seen many years of continu ous service on that particular run and was known and honored as a reliable man, and and it was known to an inch where he would stop hie engine upon reaching the town. A great celebration was held in the town one day, and whan the train came in the track for fifty (set ahead of the pof where the old-time engineer hrd always stopped his train was crowded with men, women and children, eo great a confidence did all have in the power and rule of the old engineer to always stop his engine at the one particular spot. “But on this festal day, when the train came in—horror of all horrors! instsad of stopping at the usual siot, it plowed on through ths dense mass of humanity, grinding the life from oot a score of hu man beings, and stopped only when iu wheels had fc to drink. ‘Corses dssp and black as evtr wars nt It red were rained down upon the engii Then cams criee of ‘Lynch him t Lynch him.’ ‘‘A rope was procured, but before it could be wound around hie neck some of the cooler heads in the maddened mob counseled lees haste—advised that the fiend of an engineer* be given a moment or two to explain. “With his face as white as a specter the 3 ineer stepped to tbe platform of bis and looked at the turbulent sea of in furiated humanity full in the face.

Caixjutta, March 30.—Official dis patches received here by tbo government officials confirm the report of the mas sacre of ghoorkas at Manipur, in tbe province of Assam, wheie about 470 of these native soldiers were slain by hostile tribes of Assam after two days* desperate fighting. The fate of tho British officers, who bad command of the ghoorkas and of Chief Commissioner James W. Hwin- ton, who was conducting negotistions at Dunbar for tbe arrest of a prominent chief who had been instrumental in deposing the Rajah of Manipur, is still uncertain, but the viceroy of India, the Marquis of Lsndsdowne, believes that all the officers and officials have either met death at tbe hands of tbe rebellious tribe in Assam, or that they are held as pris oners. In addition to the disaster at Manipur, it is believed that a force of British trooDs composed of a detachment of 200 soldiers of the Bengal infantry and about eighty ghoorka*, who were marching from Shillong to Manipur in order to re inforce the forty-MCoad and third ghoorkas light infantry, which com posed the escort of Chief Commissioner Swinton, have also been attacked and have shared tbe fate of their comrades at Manipdr. The Bengal infantry and eighty ghoor kas, it appear*, were set upon by the Assamese, or native troops, referred to while they were passing through the dif ficult and dangerous passage and though they fought gallantly ngaimt heavy odds tho rebel tribesmen from tbe advantage ous position which they occupied on the sides of the pass and ahead of and be hind the British force poured such de structive fire into the ranks of the lieogal and ghoorka troops that the latter are said to have been killed to a man.

The fate of tbe remaining offi cers is still unknown. bOLPIEKM SENT TO THE SCENE. Four regiments havo already started for Manipur with the object of affecting the release of the prieonora and of pun ishing the rebellious tribes. Several mountain batteries of artillery and a force of cavalry are alto being prepared to take the iisld iu Assam immediately. The general opinion seoois to be that tue military authorities will have to punish the insurgent tribes severely and promptly iu order to avert a more seri ous revolt which might follow any hesi tancy or display of weakness upon the part of the British officials. The seat of the government of Assam is at Shillong, which has a population of about 2,000 only. Ths population of tns providence of Assam, however, is estimated at 9,000,000.

Aside from the usual number of pro- te>ts from ovepassessed citizene and the report of the committee on protests that had already oome under their juri*dic- tion, the main matter of interest was the report of the committee appointed to consider the communication from the State Agricultural Association. The report reads as follows: *’Th* «necial rmr}m|lt»e, fO whom *»*§ referred the communication of R W, Jemison, Eeo., tecrotary of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, beg leave to report that the following answer thereto on the part of the mayor and council be forwarded to Sir.

Jemison, Secretary of the Georgia State Agricultural Society- Dear Sir: Your communication of the fid instant, addressed to the mayor and council, was duly received, and by them referred to the appropriate committees. “I am instructed by the mayor and council to make you the following reply: “We regret extremely that tbe agri cultural society has any fault to find with ths manner in which the mayor and council has complied with the contract made with the Georgia State Agricul tural Society on the 4th of April, 1887. ijirgo sums have been spent by the mayor and council in an honest effort to carry out this contract to ths letter. In the year 1887 alone over $7,000 was •pent by us for that purpose, and from that timo on its expenditures havs aver aged something over $2,500 per annum. 'Tho attention of the mayor and coun cil has never before been called to the various items of expense enurmerated in your lotter, which you claim that the agricultural society paid out for matters and things which should, under the con tract, have been furnished by the mayor and council. It is s source of regret to the mayor and council that their attention was not called to these items earlier, for the double retson that the city had no dtsiro to remain a debtor to the agricultural society, and the lapse of nearly four years seriously complicate* the correct auditing of the account. Two-thirds of the expenditures for which you desire to bo reimbursed appear from your letter to have boen made in the year 1887. By far the bulk of the items suggested by you appear to havo been moneys paid for lumber and carnonters* work. If you will favor us with the evidence that this lumber was him] for any of thnoa things which, under tho contract, the city rndertook to do, the mayor and council will take pleasure in reimbursing the agricultural society for tbe amounts so paid out, . “There is an item in your account of rubber hose purchased by the agricultural society. 1 am not aware that this hose was ever turned over to'the city, but 1 sm instructed to say, briefly and plainly part of the contract, provided the agri cultural society will give security in an equal amount to carry out its part. “You further desire a guarantee from us of our “enoouragement in your ef forts.” If enthusiasm and encourage ment are matters which can be gauged by the plummet of the law. tho mayor and council will enter into a “end «' 4 ' h good security, to do all they cm to make the next fair a grout success, provided the agricultural society will enter into a similar recognizance.

I suddenly deter mined on a bold stroke, and, edging up close to a shaggy young bull, grabbed hold of the long hair on his fore shoulders aud swung myself on his back. “The bellow that came from the fellow made me with that I had not decided on such a risky push for liberty. The bel lowing was taken up by the rest of the herd, and soon we were flying along at a terrific rate over gulches and up hill and down. 1 was blinded by the sand thrown by ths hoofs of the beasts, but, with my eyes closed, hung on like grim death. For half on hour tbs hard kept up a terrific pace, and during that time my legs were almost crushed ont of my boots by the crowding animals. “I began to think my time had come.

For sovcral years a couple of patri archal pelicans have fished for a living ju*t off tbe snd of my wharf. I havo repeatedly begged their lives oi e{K>rdag tourists, and so accustomed them to rnj ( irosenco that I could row within an our’n ength of them without their taking fiighL I have often watched their opera tions with curious iotereet,and was really much atuebed to the solomn looking couple, who, with their smooth pates and beard-like pouches, reminded me of feathered caricatures of Father Time. Yesterday, on going down to the beach I discovered one of my pelican ;*>t* drifting helplessly toward land. When he came within react' found that he was dead, while his pouch, with its head com pletely closing the bird’* throat, was a catfish, still alive, and measuring four teen inches in length. Ite horns stuck oul through each side of the pelican’s pouch, and thus the unfortunate bird had been nnablv to swallow, or reject ite unwelcome prey. The pelican's pouch was also torn and perforated in a num ber of pile**, showing that the struggle between the would-Tm swallower and wouldn't-be-swallowed had been a long •nd desperate one. Tbe fish died a few minutes after being removed from the trap into which he had (alien. The bird me as u rod seven feet eight inches from tip to tip of his extended wings, and from his iappearance was evidently a patriarch of his race. Now, Mr, “Forest and Stream.” as you know all about fowls and fishes, please tell me if catfish always prove thue fatal to the pelicans that catch thsm? Also, can s pelican, plunging down from hie aerial observatory, dis criminate tietween the many kinds of fish swimming beneath him? If so, why did not my pelican thus discriminate, and shun the pernicious cal? Itch cared in 30 minutes by Woolford's Sanitary Lotion. Sold by Sol Hoge, drug gist, Macon.
