What Il glorious future awaits lis if
unitedly, wisely and bravely we face
the new problems now pressing upon
us, determined to solve them for right
and humanity.
No sooner had President Mckinley
concluded than there were loud cries
for Wheeler. and when that little man
got up, his head scarcely higher than
the Speakers desk. the audience once
more gave vent to wild enthusiasm.
Gen. Wheeler referred enthusiastically
to the efforts of the President towards
preserving peace rs long as the coun-
try's honor would permit such efforts,
and of his masicriul policy after war
was inevitable. Gen. Wheeler paid n
tribute to Admiral Dewey, and added:
'The army, i'll conjunction with the
navy, was ordered to attack and de
stroy the Spanish forces ut Santiago.
In four weeks that order WAS Obeycd
and it's purposes accomplished. The
prUud Spanish nation stood suing for
peace from the nation which, IL mont h
before. it had held up To ridiculc and
scOrn."
Calls for Brig. Gen. Young brought
that officer to his rcct with Il short
speech regarding the conditions of the
army camps in the South. He said
that no troops in the world were better,
more regally fed and treated than were
the troops i'll South Carolina and GcOr-
gia. Gen. Lawton was loudly chcere.l
for, but refused to make Il speech. .!c
simply thanked, Oh behalf of his men
at Santiago. the Legislature and the
people of Georgia for their tribute t0
himself. Secretary Algcr refused to
speak and the Legislature dissolved.
The President held Il private rcccp-
tiOn in the Senate and aftcrward :,
public reception Oh the steps of the
r0tuiltta. There hundreds of Southern
ers crushed and jostlcd each other III
their anxiety to shake 4. Northern Pres
ident's hand. Many had come from
miles distant, and when, at 2:15 p. H.,
the President left the Capitol there
were still hundreds bitterly disap-
pointed because they had not been able
to make their way through the surging
throng to get Il seconds hold Of his
hand.
The days festivities included IL
unique floral parade, which was re-
viewed by the President, and rcccp-
ton tonight to the distinguished
guests at the Capital City Club.
Tonight the members of the Capital
City Club opened their club house to
the President and Mrs. Mckinley and
the guests of the city. The occasion
was notably brilliant. The receiving
party consisted of II number of Allan
ta's representative women and IL large
company Of club members. The deco
ratiOns were flags, American smilax
and American Beauty roses.

New Work Capitalists Want to Furnish
the Money.

The Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal and
Tribune, of the 1tth inst, says:
There seems to be some rivalry az to
who shall furnish the money for the
building of the Black Diamond rail-
way. 1t will be remembered that not
q long while ago Sir Thomas Tancred,
the best known expert on railway engi
neering, passed through this city max
ing M examination of the survey OF
the road with a view, if pract icable. of
advising that q certain English syndi-
cate furnish the money with which to
build the road
Mr.. j. B. Harrison, vice-president of
the Black Diamond railway, received q
letter yesterday from responsible
party, which stated that the amount
necessary to construct the road would
be furnished by n New York syndicate
if 81 desired by the directors Of the
road. Mr.. Harrison stated to re-
porter for the Journal and Tribune
that he was not at liberty to give tho
namc of the writer of the letter but
that he was assured that the infOrma-
tiOn was straight.
air. Harrison stated further that it
was his belief that the money would
not be accepted as negotiations were
now pending with the syndicate which
was represented by Sir Thomas Tan
crcd. He said that in his opinion the
money for building the road would be
furnished by the English syndicate ut
an early day and that the New York
parties who desired to furnish the
money were only taking advantage of
the report which they contemplated
Sir Thomas Tancred would make when
he returned to England. Mr.. Harrison
said he did not doubt that the New
York people stood ready and willing
to furnish the money but that tho Eng
lish people stood first in the deal and
that after they had say, and if they
did not care to furnish the collateral
for the building nf the road the New
York people would have chance.

WHAT IT INDICATES.

Nothing so interferea with ones
plans or ambition Like sickness
or poor health. Have you ever
thought that your kidneys may be
the of your sickness? You can
easily find out by setting aside your
urine fer tWenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates In un-
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate OF pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
It is a PURGE of comfort to know
that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the
great remedy for all kidney and blad-
der complaints. 1t relieves pain,
stitch or dull aching in the back, diff
cult or painful urination, frequent de-
sire TO urinate, scalding or pain in
passing it, and quickly overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night. The mild and extraor-
binary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. Its action lie gentle, yet
immediate, the relief speedy and the
cures permanent. At druggists fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have q
sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent
free by mail. Mention the Mexico

A School Girls Nerves,

Mothers who have young daughters Of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
Developments of their body is of the first i'm
p~ortance. After the confinement Of the
school room, plenty of out-of-door exercise
should be taken. It is better that their
children never learn their D, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this Is self.evidcnt. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows 1t, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, If rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
the ffeen-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur
ney, Ind. She is o bright young lady, Is
fond of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness she has ex-
perienced. She has missed two years of
school on account of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case to o
newspaper man one day recently. "My
daughter has had 2 very serSsS time FTP
said M; BasTsss III out now we are all happy
to know that she is getting along all right
and is stronger than ever" Asked to relate
the story of his daughter, Mr.. Barnes con-
tinued: "About three years ago, when she
was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous. It was, of course, a deli
cate age for her. She gradually grew weaker
and her nerves were at such q tension that
the least little noise would i~rritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There
was a continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs, and we were afraid that she
was going to develop st. Vitus' dance.
"She kept getting worse and finally we
had to take her from her school and her
studies. She was strong and healthy before,
weighing eighty-ive pounds, and in three
