2 NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL FREIGHT PATES AGREEMENT HOT YET REACHED by ATLANTA and the railroads. Atlanta'* Coramllfft Rejected Iht Proposition Made l>y the Kail road Representative* Offered Counter Propositions. II hich II ere Deelined by the Railroad Men. Filial Conference Is to Be Held To-day. With What Result I* Not Predicted. Atlanta, Dec. 6.—After an all-day conference, the Atlanta committee and the railroad representatives are just as far apart as ever on the question of freight rates revision. "The matter stands just where it did when we started," was about all Chair man J. G. Oglesby had to say at the close of this afternoon's meeting. While all the parties to the confer ence refuse to discuss the proceedings, It is known in a general way how the matter stands. The railroad repre sentatives made a tentative proposal to the Atlanta committee at the open ing of the conference. The reductions offered were not satisfactory, and the Atlantians indicated their refusal to accept such a basis of settlement. The discussion then continued during the afternoon, the Atlanta committee mak ing some proposals on its own account. In separate meetings to-night the rail road men and the Atlanta committee considered the situation in order to get ready for the tinal conference to morrow. If the two views presented at to-morrow's meeting come near enough together, there may be a set tlement. If not, then matters will re main at a standstill, until the courts decide the status of the question. Police Chief Looking for Him. Chief of Police Scott Steele of Crawfordsvllle, Ind., is here investi gating the mysterious disappearance from a Pullman sleeper between Rome and Atlanta of John Remley, a wealthy Indiana planter, as a result of which his wife and others members of his family are prostrated in a san itarium in Jacksonville, Fla. Remley, who is 71 years old and a retired farmer, was on his way to Florida with his wife, his brother Daniel and his wife. Remley sat on the side of his berth and started to undress. He got up and walked towards the end of the car. That was the last seen of him. Chief Scott found no trace here of the missing man, though he offered a. reward for information that would lead to his discovery. To-night Scott left for Jacksonville in the hope of getting some trace of him. There is no accounting for Remley's action. “Come When You Can.” President R. F. Maddox of the At lanta Chamber of Commerce to-day wrote a formal letter to President Roosevelt inviting him to visit Atlan ta next May during the session of the National Association of Manufactur ers. Mr. Maddox states that if the time is not satisfactory to the Presi dent the city will be glad to entertain him at any time that would suit his convenience. lloth Feet Crashed. S. A. Neal, yard conductor of the Georgia Railroad, was caught under a moving train at an early hour this morning and had both feet so badly crushed that they will have to be am putated. To Inspect the State Rond. Gov. Terrell, Attorney General Hart and Controller General Wright will leave the city tn the morning over the Western and Atlantic Railroad for Chattanooga, for the purpose of mak ing their annual Inspection of the state road, as provided for under the lease contract. The road Is said to be now In splendid condition. The state officials will return to the city Thurs day at noon. For 1.-45 R Pensions. Pension Commissioner J. W. Lind sey has just completed his considera tion of new applications for pensions to go on the rolls for 1905. He has approved a total of 1,455 new applica tions out of 2,717. Of these approved, 1.088 are soldiers and 357 are widows. Estimating a loss from the rolls of 1904 by deaths, amounting to 900, there will still be an Increase next year of 550 pensioners. As no Increase was made in the amount appropriated for pensions over last year, it is apparent that there will be a deficit of some thing like $33,000, which the Legisla ture will be called on to make good. Const Cine First to Pay. The Atlantic Coast Line is the first of the big railroad systems to pay Its state taxes, a check having been re ceived at the state treasury to-day for $50,834.92. Only the Central and Southern pay more taxes than the Coast Line. The Next Governor from Sooth Georgia. Fitzgerald Enterprise: We like Clark Howell, and if he is ever Gov ernor of the Empire State of the South every Georgian will be proud of the chief executive, but South Georgia must furnish the next Governor, and Clark is young enough to wait. But If he Just must be, we advise him to move to Savannah, where he will find a royal welcome, and a change that Mrs Howell, would, no doubt, enjoy. Come to South Georgia, young man.

Mne Miles They Ran Her Before She Was Brnuitht to Bay. Columbus, Ga.. Dec. 6.—Eva Hogg, a negro woman who escaped from the Muscogee county chaingang, was chased nine miles with dogs before she was recaptured. She had been sent to the gang for eighteen months for stealing clothing from various Columbus families. Yes terday afternoon when she went to a spring for a bucket of water she drop ped the bucket and quietly slipped Into the woods. Three dogs were placed on the trail a few hours later and follow ed her nine miles. She was finally found in a ditch and fearing that the dogs might bite her, she scrambled out of the ditch and ran towards Supt. Posey, who ran to meet the woman, and got to her in time to prevent the dogs from harming her. Sl'IT OVER A HOUSE COLLAR Occnpieii tle United State* Court In Macon. Macon, Dec. 6.—lt has been announc ed that Judge Emory Speer will open court in Valdosta next Monday. The United States court has been in session in Macon since Monday, but none of the regular business of the term has been taken up, matters of a special character being considered, of which one of the most important Is a petition for injunction brought by Couch Bros, and J. J. Eagan Company of Atlanta against J. O. Barnett of Americus, asking that the defendant be enjoined from making and selling a patented horse collar for which the plaintiffs claim they have the exclusive patent right. STARVED TO DEATH. Our text to-day is the story of the miser who taught his ass to live on straw, of which he gave him a smaller portion every day. Just as the miser had got him so trained as to eat one straw a day—. the poor ass died. He is an ass who starves himself to death—as thousands are doing, mis led by foolish teachers—because their stomachs have become too weak, through neglect or disease, to do the work which nature has provided for their stomachs to do. Because the engine is out of gear, would you consigp it to the junk heap? Why, no! Mend it! Commit slow suicide because your digestive organs leak? Certainly not! Take Stuart’s Dys pepsia Tablets. One thing is sure as shooting. You can never get anew stomach. You must mend it, or it will lead you a miserable existence. The only way to mend it is to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This has been practically and scien tifically demonstrated by the many thousands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have positively cured, after every other treatment of medicine, mineral waters, pills and slow, suicidal starvation had failed. These methods are all unscientific— therefore false. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are scien tific—therefore true and successful. Having cured so many thousands— many of whom doubtless have suf fered more than you do—do we claim too much when we say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good to you? Surely not. Especially when we make it plain that no promise is made to cure more than one disease—Dyspepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a positive cure for Just this one disease. They are a scientific combination of ingredients which search out the weak spots in all the digestive organs and make them strong and well. They have an immediate digestive action on undigested food, and thus, while curing weak organs, they at the same time help them to do their work. They thus stand for ail that is good in the medical treatment of Dyspep sia. ancs for nothing that Is bad. They are not a fad but a fact. They are safe, pleasant, certain and permanent, and can be taken by the most delicate Invalids without fear of harmful results. SPECIAL NOTICES. LEVY’S DISCOUNT NOTICE.
