Waiting for News.

rHE WORLD appears to be lust
on the edge of deeply significant
news from Ladysmith. The
Boer forces are almost within speaking
distance of the towns defenses-the
very fact of their close approach would
indicate that they have been hard at
work and comparatively successful in
their advance.
Everywhere the anticipation has been
that the Beers would take no chances
but that they would try to do their
best, or their worst, during the days
when they are comparatively free TO
act and before the arrival of the forces
under Butler give to the situation a
new and very serious phase. Apparent

Out on Account of Fraud.
Frankfort, KY, Nov. 15.--There is re-
neWed confidence around the Goehel
headquarters Tonight, probably as a
result of the decision of the court of
appeals to-day dealing an unexpected
blow to the republicans by a ruling
which practically decides in advance
adversely the mandamus suits filed by
the Taylor attorneys in several coun-
ties TO compel the county election COM
missioners to certify the vote. 1t Is
probable now that the Jefferson county
board which includes Louisville, will
proceed to throw out several precincts
In that city contested on grounds of
fraud, and especially where the state
militia were present or near the polls
on election day. 1t is claimed tonight
that Taylor's $500 plurality in the city
of Louisville may now be almost wiped
out.

Tallahassee, Fla. May 9o.-The event
OF the day in the legislature was the over
whelmng defeat in the House Of Clark
bill to move the state capital from Tai
lanassee.
The measure required a three-ffths vote
of the whole House for passage, but re-
ceived a decided minority-26 to 80. This
ends the removal agitation, and the leg
isature now proposes to spend $4,000 in
improving the present state house.
Much other business was transacted
The Senate passed a constitutional amend
ment for the popular election of state at
torneys, the bill exempting ex-Confederate
soldiers with less than $500 from paying
peidler's license and the constitutional
amendment prohibiting the legislature
from granting special charters to corpora
lions, all of which have passed the House,
and now go 10 the Governor.
The Senate also passed a bill authorizing
the construction of canal to connect the
ST. Johns and Indian rivers.
The House passed a bill protecting resi-
dent fire insurance agents. a bill authoriz-
ing the issue of sos 0O0 state refunding
bonds a bill providing for the sale of a
large amount of tax certificates held by
the state, "a bill appointing an inspector
of convict camps, and a bin Incorporating

The settlement of the capital location
question removes the last exciting event
of the session, which closes Friday. FL

MAY LOSE THE NEW PRISON.
Row Over II Seems TO Have Been
Started in Atlanta.


Atlanta, May Congressman Living
ston came to town tonight Tomorrow he
win watch the City Council deal with the
question of selecting a site for the new
federal prison, in which he is taking a
great interest.
Col. Livingston said tonight that Attor-
ney General Griggs has selected the Dick
oy site and practically speaking, If there
IS any row kicked up over it. Atlanta may
lose the prison after all
When it was announced that the Dickey
property had been selected by the Attor-
ney General, parties interested in other
sites offered were greatly disappointed and
some threatening letters We're sent on to
Washington. The disgrunued real estate
agents and others declared in these COM
munica tons that they would enjoin the
city from purchasing the Dickey property
in the courts, and then break up the whole
deal.
These letters cause a commotion at both
ends of the line. Col Livingston says
Nashville offered 500 900 bonus and Mem
phis the same, to get the prison, and if
there were any obstacles put in the way by
Atlanta, the city might lose the whole

site he asks for. This win cost
the city, $4,000. to raise which bonds win
probably be issued. while the Southern
Railroad Company will pay the other 1885,

KIDNEY TROUBLE,
The Most Prevalent, Dangerous and
Deceptive Disease.
Thousands Have 1t and Don't Know

Pains and aches come from excess Of
uric acid in the blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes
one feel as though they had heart trou-
bic. because the heart is over-working to
pump the thick kidney-poisoned blood
through the veins and arterIes.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the
back indicates kidney trouble Of no small
importance.
The passing Of scanty or profuse guam
titles of urine is a warning of kidney trou-
BILE If you want TO feel well you can
make no mistake by first doctoring your
kidneys.
The famous new discovery, DR.. kiimer S

Test Case VIII BE Made.
Atlanta. May S0.-Acting in accordance
with the policy of the county authorities
to test the law governing the taxation of
certain corporations, the county attorney
to-day ordered the levy of a fl. ia. on the
Bell Telephone Company for one years
back taxes.
This is in the nature of a test case. II
the county wins, back taxes for a number
of years can be collected. The test is of
great interest to other counties of the
state, as well, as its successful result
means the same increase of revenue to
them in proportion as to Fulton.
For several years the matter of collect
ing back taxes from corporations in this
county has been pending. The controller
general of the state held that they were
not subject 20 county taxation, and for
that reason the companies have not been
taxed for a number of years. The com
panies concerned are the express, tele-
graph, telephone and insurance compa-
MES.
The county attorney has held that their
payment of taxes TO the state does not
exempt them from county taxation, and it
is this different construction of the law
that is now in the courts. The attorneys
for the telephone company have prepared
a bin of injunction to prevent the col
lecting Of the taxes under the fl. IA or
dered levied to-day, pending final adjudi-
cation of the point involved.
Iii fas. aggregating $50, 600 for back taxes
are outstanding against the Atlanta Home
