OF Tie EAH3e-
THE DAYS THAT FOLLOW.

When the bullet, with unerring aim.
Strikes a vital part.
There IS numbness anda crimson stain,
And after that the smart.
Then follow weary days and nights OF pain;
lis then the suffering heart
Needs most. some KIND power TO sustain.
The wild tempest comes; our stately towers
And palaces are gone:
Kind friends mingie their tears with ours,
But we walk alone
III the DAYS that follow, among the ruins dear
And make on mean
With none. bur the plying Christ. 10 hear.
We grieve because the birds have flown away
And for oar sweet. dead flowers.
The fountains ne longer toss their sliyery
spray
To cool our faded bowers:
The golden fish are dead; o drears DAY,
Cali back those happy hours,
Grim specters from our gardens fee away.
o cruel bullet did you not feel the smart
La the agony You wrought. have you 20 part
0 needless wind do you not breath Il sigh
When yvu see cur castles fair III ruins lie
o careless friends. hearts that sre untrue,
In the days that follow il there no pain for
you!

THE CYCLONE PROBLEM SOLVED.


| A resident of this city, whose name is
| purposely withheld, has filed an appllca-
ton fo- letters patent On IAN apparatus
| for preventing cyclones" which is sub
stantially as follows: A platform is to be
| erected of required area and elevation, say
| 100 feet square, and thirty above the
earth's surface, each to prescribed by local
| atmospheric conditions from the center
of which fiue open at the bottom, also OF
required size and height, 10 be reared to a
| sufficient elevation to allow by the process
of natural draughts, the escape OF the
| heated stratus of air, from the surface OF
| the earth into the cooler regions above.
As is well known, cyclones occur III To-
| calities where surface conditions as torma-
tions confine the lower stratus of air to
the earths surface, which through heat
| radiation and other causes, aided perhaps
| by electrical action, expands with increas
ing force until, breaking through the pres
sure above, the whirling vortex carries
death and destruction before it, until its
force is spent and equilibrium is restored.
! Now, who can fail to perceive that an
| apparatus such as described above, which
would be at work day and night, except
when prevented by regulations provided
in the form of huge damper, would not
only safely liberate through natural law
the heated and expanded atmosphere when
once in that condition, but would actually
prevent such conditions arising, and so
preventing them. render the first cause or
! formation of cyclones impossible q?
Added to this in. climatable benefit to be
gained from the above named and de-
scribed apparatus, the inventor claims
that while operating to this end the
steady draught will dissipate and pre-
vent hot winds, so detrimental in
certain localities to comfort, vegetation
and commerce, that the same operation
will carry off into regions where they will
do less harm, all forms of bacteria or dis
ease germs floating in the atmos phere;
| also that once the heated air stratus near
est the earth's surface is capable of holding
more moisture than the cooler ones above,
the more rapid condensation taking place
as a result of liberating this heated and
moisture laden atmosphere into the cooler
higher stratus, vii. promote, if not cause
the equalization and production of rain in
the vicinity of each ''fiue." When not
needed as stated above the whole machine
can be controlled by the same philosophy
used in stove pipe TO prevent the heat
from escaping above instead of remaining
in the room below
These apparatus may be erected
wherever desired, and any manner to
answer local demand, but it is believed
that one every fifty miles will prevent
cyclones, according TO which a whole state
might be protected with absolute certain
ty, at less cost perhaps than any cyclone
would do damage. A greater number
might be necessary for the other purpose
mentioned. and if so build them, since the
number could not interfere with the orgi-

He was u white man, but beyond that she

On other subjects, however, he talked
freely, and appeared to be glad to have
company.
After killing Wall Johnston remained
in the county six weeks, being concealed
in different places. He went from here
to the South Carolina coast. From
there he went to New York and drifted
over to liverpool, England, where ne
obtained employment as hotel clerk.
During the conversation he referred to
the letter he wrote while in Liverpool
and sent here for publication in THE
NEWS, which our readers doubtless re-
member. He did not like England and
recrossed the waters, and worked at rail-
reading in the west until the accident
nearly two years ago which cost him SO
severely. Since then he has been in the
hospital During these long months,
away from kindred and friends, and in a
helpless condition, the trouble which
caused him to flee from home was ever
on his mind. He realized that he was a
wreck, and decided to return home, face
the charge of murder and relieve his
mind. With this determination, and
while under the halluclnation that Jim
w All SplIIO wac hlLug AO
sought Chief of Police Jordan, of Gal
weston, and made full confession.
Johnston says that he was advised that
it would be but little trouble to keep
from coming back to Georgia, but that
want to come home, stand his trial and
get rid of the matter one way or another.
The chief of police, he says, also ad vised
this course.
johnson says it has been known in
Texas for two years that he was wanted
in Georgia on the charge of murder, but
that the Texas officials never bothered
him. The nearest escape he ever had,
be says, was from New Orleans detec-
tive when he went to that city to buy his
artificial leg. The detective arrested
him and attempted to bring him to GeOr-
gia and claim the reward offered for his
capture. He claimed citizenship in
Texas, and appealed to the authorities
of tn 1T state for protection, and through
their interference was released.
Judge j. Ii. Query, Judge r. F. SIM
mons and COlnnel j. A. Laing have been
employed to defend Johnston, and it is
needless to say that his interests will be
ably looked after. They will ask for
trial this week if they consider their
client mentally able to go through the
ordeal.

Ema ciated and Manned, He Is Truly an Oh
ieot of Sympathy--A Talk With Him
at the Prison.
John r. Johnston, who killed Jim Wall
five years ago, an account of whose ar
rest at Galveston, Texas, was published
in last weeks NEWS, is now an inmate Of
the Terrell county Jail.
Johnston left Galveston at 45 o'clock
last Tuesday in custody of Mr.. II. P.
,Slade and reached Dawson Thursday at
noon.
A large crowd had gathered at the de-
pot through curiosity, hoping to get a
glimpse at the prisoner, who was quickly
put in Sheriff Christie buggy and driven
to the jail. Johnston recognized num-
Der of old friends and acquaintance in
the crowd and pleasantly spoke or bowed
to them.
Mr.. Slade says the trip from the Texas
hospital, where Johnston had been for a
long number of months, to the Georgia
Jail was an uneventful one. The prison
er seemed anxious to return to Georgia,
and gave him no trouble. During the
Journey here Johnston was frequently
under the hallucinatiun that spirits were
after him, or that he was being ''gOnged,"
as ne SXpTCSEcu IL. VI CidOC S1y . ou OuC

quietly and in a perfectly rational man.

come over Lis countenance and he would
exclaim:

SEEN AT THE JAIL.
When THE NEWS reporter walked into
the cell where Johnston was resting he
was pleasantly greeted with an extended
hand by an emaciated specimen of hu.
manIty, who was reposing on bed that
had been provided for his comfort. He
has single bedstead and comfortable
mattress, and is as pleasantly situated as
his surroundings will allow.
He is 20 years old, about feet ten
inches high, and has stubby, scattering
beard on his face. His left leg is am
putated near the hip, and a part of his
right foot is also gone, the result of a
railroad accident of which he was a vic
tim. He has a handsome artificial leg,
but uses two cruches to walk. When in
good health he would weigh probably
$50 pounds, but has dwindled away 10
about IS, and his manned and emaciated
condition reaches the sympathy Of all
who see him.
Johnston had already been visited by
his attorneys, and IL was their positive

allowed to talk Of his cr1me and approach
