Haul and Get Away.

bandit* heavily armed, held up the Mis
souri. Kansas and Texas station agent at
uuoteau, Indian lerritory, at midnignt
last night and took from him 640, all of
the money In the safe. Only three rob
bers were seen hut when the gang passed
Gibson station, 'thirty miles south of Cho-
teau. yesterday morning, there were six
In the party.
It was expected that an attempt would
be made to hold up a passenger train last
night nnd arrangements were nude to
give them a warm reoeptlon, but the offi
cials were disappointed. Choteau Is the
rtrst station south of Price's creek, the
scene of many robberies previously. A
large pose* Is tn pursuit of the robbers,
but ss they knew the country thoroughly
the chances of capture are poor. The
gang Is the same that held up the agent

No disease Is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed
down from genera Mon to generation.
It is found in ursrly every family. In
some form, rt may make Its appear
ance In dreadful running sores, in
swellings In tli* neck or goitre, or In
eruptions cf varied forms. Attacking
the mucous membrane It may he knowu
as catarrh, or developing tn tho lungs
It may ho and often is the prime cause
of consumption. /
In whatever form scrofula may man
ifest Itself, Hood’s Sarsaparilla to Its
Inevitable foe and conqueror. This
medicine has such powerful alterative
and vitalizing effects upon the blood
that every trace of Imparity Is expelled
and the blood is made rich, pure and
healthy.

Hawklnsvllle, Oct. 10.—(Bpeclal.)—
The day daiwned beautiful nnd bright
this morning, and at an early hour
the crowd began to pour tn at the
gates of the Wlragrass Exposition.
The fair scored a gravid success, the
largest ertwd that posslby ever assem
bled on. any occn.lon In the -wlregrass
section was on the grounds here today.
All were pl-sred and surprised at the
highly crsdTCable showing made. Peo
ple from all directions ure here and
they have nothin* but praise for 'the
Wlregrass Exposition.
The programmes are being carried
out do the letter, and nothing haa been
advertised, 'but what may be seen on
the grounds.
Hon. PJt Walsh of Augusta ad
dressed the crowd at the grand stand
nt 11 o'clock, and the people were
highly elated. Mr. Walsh has many
—irr.lrcrz in this reeSon. He **'■
views on the silver and 'tariff ques
tions. touched on the follies of iho
third party dootrine. paid a glorious
tribute to Georgia and her people:
touched on the exposition In a highly
complimentary manner and closed amid
much applause.
The track wa3 In excellent condition
nnd the races fine. T.ne managers have
decided to hold the exposition open
the balance of the week, during Sat
urday night. There arc three more
days, ,-rad all will be full of interesting
and entertaining features. The amuse
ments are all first class and numerous.
Card’s excellent band of Macon Is fur
nishing the sweetest music. The San
ford sisters, a concert troupe give dully
concerts at the park and ut McDuffie's
hr. 11 1n the evening.
A bright ray of suoccss gleams on
the enterprise, and the managers are
happy.
MACON’S DAY.
A Largo Crowd Wont Down to tlio
Wlregrass Fair Yesterday.
The Wlregrass Evposttlon, now being
held at Hawklnsvllle. Is' attracting
wide-spread ftttetttion.
Yesterday was Mahon Day nnd a
large number of people wen t down to
the fair. Some of them returned last
night loud In their praise of the fair
and the people with whom they met.
From several of those who returned
the Telegraph learns that the Wire-
grass Exposition Is astonishing. That
those Why) went down expecting to find
an average county fair were very
agreeably disappointed. The exhibits
are simply wn-wlerful In size, nuliiiy
and number, while everything is ar
ranged so as to show it off to the best
-——vi- --* The reef off pro
gramme is one of the best ever made
for a Georgia fair. Over sevonty-flve
horses are entered, and good purses ore
offered. Many of these horse* have
been In Macon for weeks post, nnd will
return In time for the Dixie Fair.
One of the features of the fstr ts
the fine music, both Cn-rd's full bra's*
band of Macon and the Sanford slaters
being engaged. The art dcpnrtmeeit
Is "Sid to be exceptionally nne ana
attractive, the collection embracing
several hun'dred pictures.
The agricultural display is tomeUhlmr
that not only lUtmdtw the attention of
everybody, but holds It and deeply
Impresses thorn with the wonderful cli
mate nnd soli of Georgia, while the
preserves and domestlo departments
and the needle work department are
very complete.
The exhibits are In elegant buildings,
erected specially for the purpoflo and
the bc*t of order is kept. The nttenM-
ance Is deeply gratifying to the mon-
ngement of the fair, and altogether
the Indications nrc That the Wlregrass
Exposition is in overy particular a
grand success.
TO DECORATE THE BUILDINGS.
An Experiencei and Nited Decorator
of Cincinnati En-iged by (he Dixie
Fair As'icihtion.
One of The features of the great Dixie
Interstate Ffair will be (he decoration"
of the buildings.
The contract has been closed with a
decorator of great renown tn Cincin
nati, who Is coming in a day or two,
for (he speo.al purpose of decorating
the bulkUngs with flags, bunting, etc.
These dsetawtions will add greatly to
the appearance of the building*, which
even now. with their fresh coatings of
paint, present a handsome and attract
ive appearance.
The recent rain* have been (be best
thing (bat could have happened to (be
race track at the park, and all that is
now necessary to to run the heavy roll
er over *t i few times and K will be In
fine condition. The horsemen who have
already ouarterad thoir horses at the
park are greatly clewed with the track
and say that tt is equal to any in the
country.
Work on the building* forth* Midway
Is being pushed rapidly, and Already s
busy looking, but rather quaint village
Is making its appewance in the half-
mile track.
All of (be buUdlm are being fitted
up with electric lights for night open
ings. md the effeot of lbs bright kght
on (be exhibits will be grand.

third state ticket put up by ihe .Shep
ard Democracy, John boyil Thatcher,
at tile Democratic Mate headquarter*
today, made this ottictui statement:
“We have to deal with all sorts of
■usd, with all sorts of societies nod
with nil sorts of theories tn a political
campaign. U is a health/ und not un
healthy sign to see activity and earn
estness everywhere lu the party. Dif
ferences of opinion are natural both
with reganl to caud’.ilaics and issues.
“I think, however, us the days go
on tlut theso gentlemen who opposo
Mr. Hill because he is Mr. 11111 will
support him because ho is the leader
of tho ticket chosen by the representa
tives of the party.
"This is a life ,nul death struggle for
the Democratic party. If we lose tills
election, wo cannot hope to succeed
ill carrying the legislature Tor tweuty
years to come, tf there is no hope of
carrying th" legislature, tho party or
ganization will go to pieces. Mr. Hill
Is at best only a passing figure .u poli
ties, ’ike every other public man. The
party goes on forever. Candidates
come and go; the party is greater than
tlie mail. Besides, opposition to Mr.
Hill Dow is like dissatisfaction on tho
I>art of n few soldiers on tho field of
battle to tlielr general. They may not
hnvo wanted him as leader, hut the
fact remains that he is the regularly
appointed lender nnd tin: army ho is
leading is faring ihe enemy .n a dyadly
struggle.
“t Irnve a high regard for Mr. Whee
ler and his friends, but t have a higher
regard for loyal Democrats who would
rather injure the common enemy than
help destroy their own party, 'tlio
next two weeks will soften tho feeling
of oppositton and bring better feeling."
A meeting of the Now York stato
Democracy wns held at Ooopor Union
tills afternoon. The hour that had
been sot for tho meetiug was 1 o’clock,
