Dewey knows what it is to de

reached a correct judgment in con
sidering the testimony of the Schley
inquiry.
Nothing but scientific knowledge
could have foretold the fall in tem

hours from last Saturday night to
Sunday morning.
Iisr giving official credit to Schley
for destroying the Spanish fleet off
Santiago, Admiral Dewey has dupli

and increased their esteem for him
as a courageous naval officer and a
just judge.
Snow was in evidence throughout

—One day last week Mr. Marx
Zarks, formerly a merchant of
Perry, now in business in Maoon,
received a letter from Russia stat
ing that his father was dead, Mr.
Zarks came to this country about
18 years ago from Russia, and
shortly there after became a resi
dent and merchant of Perry.
While in business here he became,
a naturalized citizen of the Unit
ed States by due process of the
law. He has many friends in
Perry and Houston who 'sincerely
sympathise with him in his recent
bereavement.
The Schley Verdict.
The finding of the Schley court of
inquiry was made public last week.
Two members of the court, Admi
rals Benkam and Ramsey, declared
that Schley deserved censure on all
the charges made against him ex
cept that of cowardice. Admiral
Dewey, president of the court, de
clared that Schley was in full com
mand when the Spanish fleet was
destroyed off Santiago harbor, and
that he is entitled to full credit for
the glorious victory on that day,
without any censure whatever.
Technically, from the view point
of an attachee of the navy depart
ment in an office at Washington,
Schley may have been derelict in
some particulars as to his blockade
and other maneuvers prior to the
battle, but when the time for action
came he was in the right place and
did the right things.
The court of inquiry was request
ed by Schley, because he had been
publicly and privately maligned by
attaches of the navy department,
within the knowledge of the highest
officials of that department. The
testimony, the taking of which cov
ered seven weeks, disclosed the fact
that there was positive antagonism
to him within offioial circles.
The finding, though a surprise to
the friends of Schley, is not worse
than could have reasonably been
foretold. There was deliberate ef
fort to do him injury, and this effort
failed only because there was on the
court a man who knew by personal
experience what it is to fight suc
cessfully a great naval battle.
In the estimation of the people
Schley is still the hero of Santiago,
an able naval officer of high rank, a
true end brave man.
—The change of weather at
Perry from noon last Saturday to
early Sunday morning was proba

many of our citizens ever expe

rain fell in torrents, but the tem
perature was not below 70. In
the early 'morning it had bepn tel
egraphed by the weather bureau
. that the temperature would fall
to 1 20 degrees within 24 hours^
Not until rather late Saturday
night did the weather become
much colder, the rain having
ceased, and a stiff, north-west
wind prevailing. Sunday morning
the thermometer registered 80 de
grees. Throughout Sunday and

To Gave an Innocent Man.
At Elko lost Friday Mr. Oscar
Colo surrendered himself to an offi
cial of the U. S, court at Macon to
prevent an innocent man from being
punished. Cole had just returned
from Texas.
Judge Speer sentenced Cole to
pay a fine of $100, or to be iir pris
oned one month. Twelve hours later
the prisoner was released by order
of the court.
The story as told a Telegraph re
porter is as follows:
“Some time ago the revenue offi
cers went down to Dooly county,
near the line of Houston. They
found an illicit distillery within a
few hundred yards of the residence
of Mr J. ^Randolph Phillips. In Mr.
Phillips’ house a barrel of the illicit
whiskey was found. The, officers
were told that Mr. Phillips had
nothing to do with it, and that the
room was occupied by a boarder,
Mr. Oscar Cole. Mr. Cole disap
peared and escaped arrest. Mr.
Phillips and Mr, Cole were indicted
by the grand jury on the showing
made, bat Mr. Phillips was held ac
countable. Mr. Cole went to Texas,
and it was thought he would never
be heard of again. In some manner
he learned that the case against Mr.
Phillips was to be tried yesterday,
so he paid his way back to Georgia,
and got here just in time to prevent
the trial. He said that he alone waB 1
guilty of running the distillery, and
that Mr. Phillips knew nothing
about it. ‘And I was too much of a
man to stay out in Texas or any
where else and see somebody else
suffer for what I had done,’ said he.”

Dear Sirs:—I had no faith in
testimonials or advertised medi
cines until I took Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, my attention being
called to it by a letter from some
one who had been cured of what
he called chronic constipation,
and I began taking it for my case.
If any one who reads this has
Constipation or Stomach Trouble,
I earnestly recommend Dr. Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin. My one ex
perience and complete cure
prompts me to promise that you
will find it will do all that is
claimed for it. Rcsp.,
