TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER.
Two Men Charged With killing a
Witness Against Them.

Witness Against Them.
Macon, Dec. 21.-(SpeciaD John Hollo-
way and John Thomas Smith were brought
in from jasper county to-day, charged
with murder and conspiracy.
They will be tried before Judge Speer
for the murder of Silas NJ. Harden, in
Jasper county, a couple of months ago.
Harden was riding a mule along the road,
when he was accosted by one of the men,
who were in a party of several. Harden
bent downward from his saddle to hear
what was to be said to him, supposing
the follow wanted to whisper to him. In
stead of whispering, the fellow sent
pistol ball into Hardens ear, killing him
instantly, and the body fell from the
mules back.
Several shots were fired into Hardens
corpse, and it was then piled into q ditch,
where it was left. The murderers es-
capped and have been at large until yester-
day. The government claims that Har-
den was a witness against the two men

One of the most attractive pictures in
1.-THE Golden Horseshoe" with which the
Lilliputians win come to Savannah Christ
mas, matinee and night, is the swamp
scene of reeds and rushes. The little per-
formers hop about as frogs and sing a
croakng quartet that is one of the mu-
steal hits of the evening. They also do
some capital acting in the joys and disap-
pointments of search for the coveted horse
shoe. Its ultimate discovery in the deep
sea is occasion for a transformation scene
and a rushing in of an army of young
women, in brilliant costumes. A popular
feature with the audience is the musical
festival in the second act, when the
dancers play on gilded viofins and ribbon
twined trumpets. Ebera and his COM
paniops personate well known composers
and conductors, from Sousa to Seidl and
from Strauss to Wagner. Another ballet
called the pink French ball is costumed in
brilliant silks and satins and exquisitey
danced. Submarine Life" is another pre-
sentauon of eorals, pearls spangles and
sea urchins in the third act. In travelling
scene link wears a Stanley-in- Africa cos
tune of white and Ebert an Innocent
abroad outfit. Another masquerade is in
Salvation Army costume.

Woif ON the Roeber-N ous0uf Bout.

Manager Frank Selee, in an interview,
had the following to say of the cham
pionship race:
Baseball is full of uncertainty, and no
one can tell what may happen. On paper
and form, it seems to me that Baltimore,
Cincinnati, New York and Boston ought
TO finish up near the top. but there are
some dark horses. Chicago, under Burns
management. should be higher up than

Louisville. too. has fast team of colts
who may be very much in the hunt. The
CleVelands are always dangerous, and If
Tebeaus pitching corps is as strong as
he believes il is, that team will, ! think.
make il hot for the leaders. Pittsburg,
Philadelphia and ST. Louis are trying eX-
periments, and sometimes such things
land right side up. Watkins is a shrewd
manager. who knows how to get the best
work out OF BAN players, and Hurst is
another clever student of the game who
may surprise the St. Louis public if he is
not interfered with. The Philadelphias,
If properly handled. should not be so badly
of as some persons think. They have a
crowd of good hitters."
The Baltimores are fully as strong as
a year ago, in my opinion. and / believe
that McJames Will come very near being

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOyERY
TESTED.
Results of the Test In Various
Forms of Dyspepsia.

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, while
very common trouble, has for some
time been looked upon by able physi-
clans a serious thing, and that no
time should be lost in treating it properly
at the start, because recent researches
have shown that the most serious, fatal
and incurable diseases have their origin
in simple dyspepsia or Indigestion.
Diabetes Is simply one form of indi-
gestion, the sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by the digestive or
gans. In Brights disease the albumen
is not properly assimilated
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases. and II is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a
remedy that could be depended upon to
cure dyspepsia, as it is notoriously obsti-
nate and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike.
until the question was solved three years
ago by the appearance of a new dyspep-
sia cure in the medical world known as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which 1t was
claimed was a certain, reliable cure
for every form of stomach trouble
Physicians, however, would not accept
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully OBJ
serving results
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
country, and with surprising and salts
factory results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon
estly claimed to be a specific, q radical
lasting cure for indigestion in the var
ious forms of acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach. gas or wind on stomach. too
much bile. undue fullness or pressure
nd effl1i1
sulting from disordered digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
years trial leFC no doubt as TO their
value and they have recently been piac-
ed in the trade and can be found on
sale at all druggists at the nominal price
of 30 cents per package.
No eXtravagant claims are made for
the remedy. 1t will not cure rheuma-
tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever. nor any
thing but just what 1t is claimed TO cure
and that is every form of stomach trou-
BILE
No dieting is necessary; good whole
some food and plenty OF 1t, and you may
rest assured that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest it.
Druggists claim for IL that ii is pleas
ure TO recommend ii to dyspeptics, be-
cause ii gives such universal satisfac-
ton.

of which both were sui going with
much speed, but little, groggy. Elliott
made grand fight against apparent
odds. Bernstein Is quick, strong and
scientific, and at the beginning of the
set-to il seered that Bernstein would
win out handiiy. 81
In the first round Bernstein went at 1t
hammer and tongs, His speed seemed
to put Elliott on the run, but the latter
took his medicine gamely, and In the
second round returned some of the Sc
we're punishment. In the third round
body punches and left jabs on Elliotts
jaw mado him somewhat groggy, but his
gameness saved him. In the fourth
round Elliott had all the best of 1t. He
came back wonderfully well, and push
ed the visitor around the stage landing
one corking right-swing on the jaw. FL
lott landed several blows to Bernstein
one in the fifth and had things his way
A succession of hard left punches in the
jaw made the New Yorker study. Bern
stein mixed II up in great shape in the
SIXTH and had Elliott bleeding freely
from a cut eye, nose and hip. Elliott
stood right up to the pump in the sew
enth. He gave back about all he got.
though Bernsteins blows had more steam
back of them. Elliott caught Bernstein
hard punch in the mouth out of a
duck in the seventh.
The eighth round was a merry mix of
body and face blows. Elliott showed the
punishment more because of his blood
letting. Bernstein will make a great
fighter. He had "A shade the best of It,
The so-called prelminaries were all
quite good as the feature fight. Jack

rounds at lis pounds. with little chance
for gh of Nil-
mington. and Jack McKeever, of Will
JAMESTOWN. Pa, then had six rounds at
13S pounds Smyrna was the victor in
this all the time. though McKeever
showed strength and gameness. Smyrna
knocked McKeever down twice. gave
him much punishment, and had him GO
ing at the end Of the bout.
In some ways the best fight of the even
ing was between Eddy Lenny. of this
city, and Joe Laughlin. OF Wilmington.
Ii was Laughin's second appearance as
a professional boxer. He simply delight
ed the crowd by his great exhibition. He
brushed up Lenny at the start with right
and left swings, and then Lenny began to
fight in earnest. Lenny is the hero In a
recent Mount Vernon elOpement. AS
bridegroom he certainly fought well. The
men kept banging away at each other
for six rounds, their agility and staying
powers being wonderful Laughlin, with
some seasoning, should get in the front
boxing ranks. He is especially cool-tem-
pered. and not a bit afraid of a padded
NIT. His nerve and ginger were alone
worth the price of admission.
During the performance Manager Her
ford announced that on April II a boxing
exhibit will be held at the Music Hall for
the benefit of the Maine sufferers. He
read a long list of well-known boxers who
have volunteered TO spar gratis for the
Maine fund.
