MACON's CIRCUS TRAGEDY.
The Grand Jury Now In Session to
Take Up the Cnse.

rake Up the Case.
Macon, Ca, April 19-The Bibb county
grand jury which convened to-day, will
investigate the killing of L. w. Halstead
alias Howard. the circus man, by Charles
r. Reid. Since the tragedy occurred,
about two weeks ago, public interest in
the case has been at a high pitch, and
naturally all eyes are on the grand jury
1t is hardly probable that that body can
do otherwise than indict Reid, but
whether or not a trial jury can be found
in Bibb county who will refuse to justify
the killing is another matter. The local
newspapers have contained almost daily
accounts of what might, could, would or
should be proved, and how Murat Hal
stead, supposed relative of the dead
man, is going to employ lawyer or law
yers to assist Bibb's wide-awake and
faithful solicitor general in conducting
the prosecution; that this, that and the
other will be proved on Mrs. Reid who
was the cause of the tragedy, she having
reported to her husband that Halstead
had insulted her.
All these reports, however are unfound-
ed, and only serve to feed the Unsuitable
appetite of a sensation-loving public
Somebody was heard to wonder if the
New York journalist would take a hand
in the prosecution, and to express the
opinion that If such were the case, it
would go hard with Reid. This reached
the ears of reporters, who at
once manufactured a great story
about what Murat Halstead had
done, and setting forth how his imported
lawyers would dig out unheard-of facts
that would crack the necl5s of every man,
woman or child who showed even slight
friendship for Reid on the night of the kill
ing. They told how r. S. bennington
would be yanked up and probably hung
for his part in the affair, when Denning-
ton really did nothing except go with
Reid, begging him at every turn to leave
his shotgun and give Howard or Halsted a
sound thrashing with his fist. But the
reporters seem determined to get views
out of the case, even if it has to be made.
In the mean time, Reid is abiding his
time, ready to ask any jury what they
would have done under like crcum-
stances. Mrs. Reid is suffering as only a
sensitive, weak woman can suffer in her
unenviable situation, and Mr.. Denning-
ton Is cheerfully challenging investiga-
ton.

A man named Collins living in
the little settlement of Clifton
Heights, in Delaware county, Pa,
was seized with nausea last Friday
and elected from his stomach thirty
six young Lizards, all alive ard Wig
Ns. The mystery is explained by
Collins himself, who says he swal-
lowed the spawn OF the reptiles in
pump water. How long it took the
spawn to hatch is not known by any
sign that manifested itself to Collins,
but after the hatch came Collins
became aware that something was
queer with his anatomy. For two
days he felt ill and on Friday last
he was attacked by the nausea.
The result was a string Of Lizards.
Every one Of them we're caught by
Collins and he now exhibits them
alive to tho people who call Oh him
to hear about it.

1t is reported that during the last
two years about s25O,OOO,OOO of
mortgages have been lifted from
farms in western states, and OF this
amount, about s3O,000.000 was paid
in the state OF Nebraska alone.
Now the west is getting ready to
harvest the largest wheat crop in
years and the chances are that still
more Of the mortgages will be paid
of, and no doub. much of the popu-
list craze will be dispelled. This
gradually growing western prosper.
ity is undoubtedly due in a great
measure to the lessons taught the
farming element by the hard times,
and economy and hard work have

HUNTING OFFICE.

The mania for Office is we'll nigh
ungovernable and the young man
who spends time and money in
seeking a service in the state of
Federal government is making se-
rious mistake. The officehoider is
not person to be envied. He
lives life Of daily dependence and
uncertainty. Few Of them save
money. They live on and consume
their salaries, saving nothing, build
ing up no business reputation,
learning nothing of great value,
yielding servilc obedience to a petty
boss, perhaps, who in turn OBJ.
sequously serves his superior.
When change in administration
takes place, and it does sooner or
later, the officeholder goes with the
spirit OF independence and energy
departed and often finds himself a
pitiful plight. Anent this subject,
the Pittsburg Commercial. on this
line OF reasoning, holds that there
are over 100000 applications for
Office en- file in Washington and the
rate they are pouring in is said to
be about 600 per day. The werst
thing that could happen to many of
these applicants would be to secure
the appointment and the best thing
to them would be if they were
struck conclusively with the con-
viction that if they we're to devote
fraction OF the energy and pa
thence to individual enterprise which
they apply to petty cffice-hAntiDg,
they would become prosperous and
independent. Included with the
thousand, whose applications are ON
file are many who waste the best
par. of their lives in seeking to OBJ
tain appointments and have bored
out all patience their friends and
acquaintance in public and private
life in their fruitless quest 1t is OF
little use to talk 20 them that it
would be much better for them and
those dependent on them if they
were to swear off in public place
seeking without further energies
towards more profitable and indi-
vidual accomplishment. 1t is Of no
no avail to tell them this; their
ambition seems to be disease which
only two remedies serve to relieve,
appointment or death.
