From the Emira Telegram.
Now that the eyes of the civilized world
are watching England and her latest
complication In South Africa, it will no
doubt interest the people of this country
in general, Pennsylvania in particular,
to learn that President Kruger was born
at Mauch Chunk, Pa. George Steidel.
an old citizen here, knew Kruger well
He says that when Kruger was twelve
years of age he left Mauch Chunk and
went to New York, where he remained
for few years employed as boot-black.
He then shipped aboard merchant ship
as cabin boy, but he was subjected
to such inhuman treatment at the hands
Of the captain that when he reached
ape Town he deserted, and made his
way to the Boer settlement.
On account of his parents being Ger
man, and his ability to speak that Ian
gnage, he hadn't much trouble in hiring
out as farm hand with one OF the Beers
lie worked on the farm until he wa,
nineteen years of age, when he went to
work on his own hook. Finally he scrap
ed enough together to enable him to pur-
chase farm for himself, but unfor-
tunately for Kruger just about this time
the English learned that that particular
section Of the country was very rich in
gold, silver and diamonds, and in order
to possess II the Beers were driven north
into what is known as the Transvaal.
Then it was that the Beers, who are
all excellent horsemen, fully the equal
OF our Western cowboys, held conven-
tion and decided upon making Kruger
their president. Kruger, who by the
way, is not an educated man, possessed
good, sound horse sense, Immediately or
ganized several cavalry regiments, which
resulted in their taking decided stand
against the rapacious English marau-
ders. Kruger's rise after that was rapid.
The above story is pretty one. but
since its publication the Philadelphia
Times has pronounced it false, and
claims Krugar was born in Prussia.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE fight for
the location OF the democratic national
convention is under full headway. EK-
Gov. David B. Francis of Missouri with
four of the st. Louis boomers got in
yesterday, and, accompanied by Hugo
G. Wallace of Tacoma, Chief Justice
Fuller's son-in-law and national COM
mittecman from the state of Wash
ington, began their campaign by pay
ing their respects to Secretary Lamont
and several other democrats in execu-
tive Offices. The Missouri people opened
hag-bedecked quarters at the Airing
ton this morning, when their numbers
were augmented by the arrival of
fifteen st. Louis business men who are
backing what they consider a plain
business proposition of furnishing the
same facilities that are being prepared
for the republican convention and so
dividing the expenses between the two
political parties to the financial ad-
vantage of both.

About that time the race between
the rival cities will begin to give an
indication of its finish. Secretary s. P.
Sheerin of Indiana arrived yesterday
and has been making calls about the
departments ever since. Every ybody
who has come in so far seems inn
pressed with the idea that the conven-
tion will not be held earlier than the
middle of July, but that impression
has no very substantial basis as far
rs can be learned, and may be modified
radically before the committee meets
on Thursday. A subcommittee of the
national committee will hold meet
ing at the Arlington hotel tonight to
consider a resolution which was Of
fered by Mr.. Collins of Massachusetts,
at the last convention, limiting the at
tendance at the convention of 1895 to
delegates and alternates, members of
the national committee ard newspaper
men. 1t is not believed that tho sub
committee will act favorably upon
the resolution. There are repea ted
evidences already that tho attendance
at the meeting of the full committee
on Thursday of this week will not only
be large, but that in nearly every case
those present will be members and not
persons holding proxies

Early Thursday morning Chief of Po-
lice Savage received telegram from
Lumpkin to keep lookout for Jerry
Carter a young white man, and if he

further stated that Carter was wanted
for killing Frank Black, a prominent
young druggist.
The following special from Lumpkin
tells the particulars of the ira gedy:
''The usual quiet of this place was dis
o'clock by an unfortunate difficulty
which resulted in the death of Mr.. F. d.
Black. former resident of Cuthbert but
for the last several years resident of
this town, by Jerry Carter, well known
citizen of Lumpkin.
''The tragedy was the result of dams
aging report which was circulated by
Jerry Carter, a clerk in the store of Sol
ONION & Carter. Carter and Black quar-
relied over the matter and fight ensued
in which Carter cut Blacks throat, kill
ing him instantly.
"lhe particulars gathered from the
best sources ara as follows
"Black used some language which Car
ter considered insulting and Carter
slapped Black in the face. Black started
for his assaIlan+, when Carriers brother,
Marvin, jumped on him from behind.
This caused Block to thrD wv back his
head, when Jerry Carter cut him in sew
eraI places and at last stabbed him in the
throat with tie fatal result above stated.
Black fell back and was caught by
Y ung Mr.. Baker.
Ibis last words were: Boys, I am
done for-carry me home (meaning
CuthberD and bury me decently.'
This unfortunate affair is greatly re-
GREETED by the citizens of our town.
Numbers OF them are gathered on the
public square in groups, discussingI in
subdued tones the awful tragedy.
Garter made good his escape. Blacks
body was carried to Cuthbert and in
rerred. Carter is a member of one of
the oldest and most prominent families
of Stewart county, and is young man
just about of age. 1t is not known what
steps are being taken to arrest him. but
it is thought that he will be apprehended
in a short while unless he surrenders
himself to the authorities"

Gludness Comes

With O. better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you prr-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tivcs or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
| physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infOrmed everywhere, Syrup of
| Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
