Atlanta Journan Gov. Atkinson has not
decided whether he viii allow the receiver
OF the Georgia aMining, Manufacturing

Brown, president OF penitentiary company
No. /, to pay the ane of $3.50 imposed for
mismanagement of the convicts at Cole
City. This fine was imposed upon the
company after a long hearing, as well as
other fines imposed upon the other COM
panies. They paid their fines, but Peni-
Tertiary Company No. declined to pay its
fine, at which Gov. Atkinson straightway
removed 400 convicts from the mines
They were being worked there, but were
leased to other companies. Since these
conNets were moved the company is anx-
ious to pay the fine, and a certified check
for the amount is in the hands Of the at
torheys representing the receiver. There
is an additional sum of money due Tor
taxes and rental, about $4,000, and this
also will be paid Gov. Atkinson's order

allows the fine 10 be paid, it is thought
that the company will begin TO make i'm

sonville Citizen: Surveys have been made

intersecting the Flagler hotel property
about midway. This road will be shelled
by the east side people, and beautfed in
a manner in keeping with the hotel sur

bicycle travel. The probability also ex-
lists that a splendid bicycle track will be
constructed which will surround the en-
tire Flagler property here. The lake front
boulevard will form the western boun-
dairy to the track, the southern limit of

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.

In his able work entitled Longevity, =
published few years ago, DR.. John Card
ner, of England predicts that a vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so retard
those changes that bring about old age as
10 prolong human life much beyond its
present limit.
Acting perhaps. upon the impulse pro
duced by this thought, many eminent ply
sicians have called from time to time upon
the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to inquire Of
them concerning the secrets of medicinal
plants, in which these sincere, simple
minded and God-fearing people are known
TO be wise and skillful beyond all other
men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease; which they al once made
practical use of. The most important
point was that If a genuine and certain
remedy could be found for digestion ami
dyspepsia. and the ailments growing out
of II, a long step would be taken In the
right direction. Old age, said these physi-
clans, begins in a failure Of the digestion,
and so do most diseases at
any and all periods of life.
The result of these consultations
was the discovery by the Shakers of the
desired specific, made wholly from herbs
and now known as the Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Its action is magical and worthy
of it's origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste in the
mouth, biliousness, weakness and weari-
ness, cold hands and feet, aversion to
food, nervousness. or any other symptom
of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove is
curative virtues. Behind it Is the reputa-
ton of a people who have never defrau'i-
ed or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy is
adapted to your case, at practically no
cost you may procure a trial bottle for
10 cents OF almost any druggist.

HIS FORTUNE.
A Poor Miner of Tombstone Who
 Found a Fortune.

Eighteen months ago John Pierce of Tom bstone, Ariz., was a poor labor ing miner, broken down from hard work, his wife and children being obliged to help in making a living. Late one evening at the time the story begins, Pierce was driving the COWS home from pasture and was about four miles from lhis ranch, when he picked from a little ledge a piece of rock which he was about to throw at one of the tardy animals, when observing that it was of unusual weight, he concluded to carry it home. Upon close exam ination it was found that it contained gold.
 He went to work promptly at the spot from which it had been taken, and soon made a shipment of ore that net ted $3,000. With this money he sank shaft a few feet and then bonded the property flor $250,000. .
 Before the year expired the bond was sold to an English syndicate for an advance of $100,0O0.e In July last Pierce received a draft on San Fran cisco for $250, 900 in full and is now in that city with his family, enjoying the delights and blessings of a fortune

FEAR THE YAQUIs.
United States Troops on the Border to
 Prevent Another Raid.

At the request of General Torres of Mexico, the United States is making a military display on the frontier during the fiesta of San Francisco at Mazda lena, Mexico, which is being held there. The Mexican population is very -anx- ious as the movements of the Yaquis are suspicious. One troop of the First cavalry under Captain Bonus has gone to Aravaca. Another troop is camped at Calabasas, twelve miles north of Nogales. A great number of Yaquis have gathered at Magdalena to par ticipate in the festivities. It is re- ported that the number of them pres ent this year is greater than ever be- fore. The hostility of some of the bands recently makes it seem prob able that another raid on the towns in northern Sonora may be attempted.

"Hist! be quiet!" said Secretary G. P. 'Bullard of the Democratic county executive committee; we don't want the gang ito know where we are going" :" As he ceased speaking he shut the lid of his dark lantern and lead the way to his office in the Thibodo building.
 This occurred last might and as Bull lard quietly stole up the steps to his office he was followed by several fa- miliar forms. Among the gang were noted Willis, the chairman; Alexan- der, the adviser; Orme, Rosson and Osborne.
 The gang was going to hold a secret session for the purpose of transacting important business they did not want the town to know just then
 A Republican reporter observed the action and stole around the back way and glued an ear to a window.

THE LINOTYPE'S INVENTOR.
Visit to Phoenix of the Noted Otto Mergenthaler

Otto Mergenthaler, inventor of the Linotype typesetting machine, one of the greatest inventions of the century, is a e1sitor to Phoenix, guest at The Ford. He has been spending he sum- mer in the piney woods near Prescott, brought to the southwest by pulmo- nary affection He will remain in Phoenix probably a; week prior to pro- ceeding southward into Mexico.
 Mr. Mergenthaler is one of the most genial of men and most enthusiastic in all matters mechanical. A visitor yesterday to the composing room of The Republican, he was sharp in his investigation of the workings of one the office, and was pleased to highly commend its manipulation by Machin- ist Bushley and Operator Branch.
 While one of the most retiring man, MT. Mergenthaler has yet done a work that will send his name down to flu ture ages, almost upon a level with that of his compatriOt, Guttenberg. He has revolutionized the art of print | ing He has done what has been said 1 DO man could do-he has made ma chine that does the work of half a dozen most skillful printers, and the results of his intellect are now to be seen in every one of the principal newspaper offices of America. The reading public has felt the benefit To | day the newspapers, by the use of the Linotype, are with profit permitted to even double the amount of news pre- sented and the printer has in the end been little, if amy, injured.
 The inventor is still active in inven- tion and few are the months in which he does not add to the efficiency of his already wondrous labor-saver. It now dominates in book as well as in news offices and its future is one whose mag nitude cannot be measured.
