How to Cure a Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most misera
ble condition. It was undoubtedly
a bad case of la grippe and recog
nizing it as dangerous he took im
mediate steps to bring about
speedy cure. From the advertise
ment of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and the many good recom
mendations included therein, we
concluded to make a first trial of
the medicine. To say that it was
satisfactory in its results, is put
ting it very mildly, indeed. It
acted like magic and the result was
a speedy and permanent cure.—

Washington, March 23. —Presi-
dent McKinley is showing the ef
fect of tho pressure upon him for
office. He gives each visitor a
courteous hearing, but the tax on
his vitality is very severe. The of
fice-seekers are at the white house
when the doors are opened in the
morning and they remain in evi
dence until the president is com-
I polled, through sheer fatigue, to
seek the seclusion of his private
apartments.
The warm weather of the past
few days has added to his discom
fort, and it has been suggested that
he spent an occasional day in rest
at the seashore or in the country
near the city.
The prerident is so conscientious,
however, that he insists upon
staying at his desk as long as his
strenght will permit. His friends
believe that if he does not take a
brief outing he will break down
from overwork.
They maintain that ho has been
under a terrific strain since his
nomination last June, and that it is
not in human nature to continue it
indefinitely.
No War for France.
Paris, March 23—Attention is
called to tho article in the French
constitution which debars the pres

declaring war without the assent of
parliament.
Europe must be prepared for the
withdrawal of France from the
European concert in the event that
the Cretan difficulty should require

chamber of deputies will sanction.
Turkey Aroused.
Constantinople, March 23 —The
Turkish government, on hearing
that Greece was about to send a
vessel laden with ammunition to
the island of Mitylone and Seio,
ordered the Turkish naval com
manders cruising in the Archipel
ago to prevent the landing of war
like stores by every means in their
power.
The Turkish camp at Elassona is
regarded as a key to Macedonia,
and is being very strongly intrench

London, March 24.—The Chron

that Great Britain has declined to

ships intend to run the blockade 4
contending that it is indefensible
under international law, inasmuch
as neither Turkey nor Greece has
openly declared war.

A story is published in Denver

liis own paper vouches for the truth
of every word contained in a dis
patch from Tres Pidras, N. M.
According to the story, Lock
Walmsley, a guide of Taos county,
N. M., recently discovered a cave
m ar certain medicinal springs that
contained a single occupant, a ven
erable old man, with white beard
and hair to the knees, who warned
away his disturbers through ges
tures and threats could not be mis
understood. Theodore Forman,
who unearthed the cave, was en
gaged in blasting an opening in
the side of the mountain when one
shot tore a hole through which he
could see the strange creature-
The only explanation of his pres
ence is that he is a descendant of
the cliff dwellers, who has survived
his race. The cave is also reported
to be filled with all sorts of queer
relics that could be seen by the
light of Egyptian lamps.

It Is Stated That Britain Will

Georgia farmers will use this

It is said that the farmers of

some 400,000 tons of fertilizers.
This is the largest number on re
cord. Last year there were 333.
000 tons guano sold which was the
limit up to that time. Last year
with that amount of guano the acr
eage was also the largest up to that
time. It looks as if the farmers
will also plant a big corn crop.

Railroad Officials Distur
bed by the Last Ruling
of the Supreme Court.
ASSOCIATIONS ARE ATFECTES
The Traffic Organizations
Are Likely To Be Counted
Out on This Score.
Chicago, March 23.—Railroad offi
cials, especially those connected
with associations, were much dis
concerted today at the reciept of
the news from Washington that the
supreme court of the United States
had rendered a majority decision
finding tho old Trans-Missouri
Freight Association an illegal com
mission, in violation of the Sher
man anti-trust law of 1890.
The decision is expected to affect
the organization of the Joint Traf
fic Association and Western
Freight and Passenger Association
and the Southwestern Freight As
sociation.
These associations, to a larger or
smaller extent recieve the rate
making power fromthe hands of the
traffic officials of the companies
represented, especially in the
hands of the board of administra
tion, particularly in the case of
freight rates.
Pools for the specific division of
traffic among the roads interested
are also barred under the decision
of the highesr tribunal, and the
least that is expected to follow the
important decision is a reorganiza
tion of these associations on lines
in conformity with the anti-trust
law.
The Trans-Missouri Freight As
sociation is no longer in existence,
but the decision is none the less ef
fective.
The case was originally brought
by the attorney general of the Uni
ted States on behalf of the inter
state commerce commission. He
proceeded under the anti-trust law.
Before the case came to trial in
Kansas the association was dissol
ved, but the court insisted on the
case being brought to a conclusion.
Judge Raines, of the United States
circuit court, sitting at Cheyenne,
Wyo., dismissed the bill of the at
torney general, the brief for the
railroads being presented by
George R. Peck, general counsel
for the Santa Fe system, now with
the St. Paul road.
An appeal was taken to the Uni
ted States circuit of appeals, sit
ting at St. Paul, which upheld the
decision of the lower court, and it
was this last appeal which was de
cided yesterday.
Rains in North Alabama.
Fort Payne, Ala., March 23.
The recent heavy rains have done
serious damage throughout north
Alabama, washing out great gul
leys in the farms and cutting up
the public roads so badly that they
are made almost impassable in
many places.
The Constitution’s Postage Bills.
The publishers of the Atlanta
Constitution pay more postage
than all the other publishers in
Atlanta combined.
For the first week in March the
Constitutions's bill for postage was
$444.71. The Atlanta Journal paid
$113.54, the Sunny South paid
$33.20, tho Christian Index $14.84,
and the Wesleyan Christian Advo
cate $lO.Bl. The total receipts for
papers and periodicals published
in Atlanta was $626.23. The Con
stitution pays nearly three fourths
o f that class of postage.

Remarks By A Texas Editor.
From the Texas Harpoon.
When you ask a man to sub
scribe for your paper and he says,
“Oh I am taking more papers than
I can read, and besides times are
too plagued tight,” immediately
apologize to him for the mistake
and leave him. Life is too short
to teach a jackass to sing soprana.
All gentlemen nowadays read
newspapers—and lots of them.
Show us a man who lives for years
in a town or country and never
subscribes for the papers publish
ed there and we’ll show you a man
whose head is shaped like a piece
of pie with the point up. A coun
try newspaper is an institution
that works day and night for every
decent man in the country; there
fore every decent man is in honor
bound to assist in its support
The greatest trouble is that some
swell-head galoots fancy that they
are making the editor a present
when they take his paper. We
have the profoundest sympathy
for the man who lives in this
country for years and never sub
scribes and pays for his country
paper. If that poor fellow was to
encounter an idea in a lane he
would turn and fly the other way
with the tail of his garment beat
ing the atmosphere. Don’t waste
much time on such cattle. One of
them has not enough sense to keep
warm in hades.
Where The Burden Will Fall.
It is interesting to note where
the increased tariff taxation pro
posed 4 by Mr. Dingley and his com
mittee will fall and in what pro
portions-
The bill adds:
Fifty per cent to the tariff paid
by earthenware and glassware, 40
per cent to that paid by chemicals,
oils, etes., 300 per cent to that paid
by wood and its manufactures, 100
per cent to that paid by woolens.
It takes wool off the free list and
puts upon it a tariff that will cost
the people of this country many
million dollars every year.
Contrast this treatment of nec
essaries with that which some lux
uries will receive.
The tax on silk goods is to be in
creased only 15 per cent, and spir
its, wines and liquors will be re
quired to pay only 25 per cent
more than they do now.
Mr. Dingley, in undertaking to
make this sort of tariff revision a
measure of popular relief, cuts a
figure that would be ludicrous but
for the fact that the results of his
machinations will be so Shtidus
JoUmal.

THE FLOOD
SITUATION.
A Slight Improvement Is
Reported from the Menu

WATER IS NOW STATIONARY.
In Some Places It Is Even
Reported as Decreasing
Slightly in Volume.
St Louis, March 25.—For the
time within a week the prevailing tone
of dispatches from the lowlands are
encouraging. Reduced volumes of
water are reported at Memphis, Hele
na, Ark., Arkansas City and Nashville,
while slight increases arc shown at. Cai
ro and Vicksburg.
The water is reported stationary at
several points. Many believe the
worst is over, the only apprehension
now being that the Hoods pouring into
the northern Missouri and Misssissippi
rivets from melted snow may reach the
water-soaked south bes >re the lower
rivers run out their surplus. Mean
time, organized relief work is carried
on.
A light draft boat left here Tuesday
night to explore the shallows and la
goons of the New Madrid sink. This
territory begins at Belmont, Mo., and
ends three miles south, at the mouth
of the St., Francis river, in Arkansas.
The relief committee of the merchants’
exchange will send out a boat today
Should the government warning of
still higher water to come be verified,
however, it will find the people pre
pared, as there will be few remaining
in exposed situations.
