but the city is now being run under an
economical administration and econ

THE tone of the British Transvaa1
controversy is much more moderate
today. There is not quite so much talk
of war as there has been heretofore.
It is reported that the Queen is OPP
posed to it. There is much talk to
the effect that the Queen is mere
figurehead, but nevertheless there are
striking instances in history that
prove that when Victoria puts her foot
on an issue it usually stays down. If
the Queen says no in this instance one
might wager with considerable safety
on the final outcome of the present
controversy.

A majority of the ills affecting people
today can be traced to kidney trouble.
1t pervades all classes of society, in all
climates, regardless of age, sex or con-
ditiOn.
The sallow, colorless looking people
you often meet are afflicted with "kid-
ney complexion" Their kidneys are
turning to parsnip color, SO is their
complexion. They may suffer from in
digestion, bloating, sleeplessness, uric
acid, gravel, dropsy, rheumatism, ca
tarrh of the bladder, or irregular heart.
You may depend upon it, the cause is
weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Women as well men as are made mis-
cradle with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney, liver and bladder remedy will build
up and strengthen weak and unhealthy
kidneys, purify the diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear the complexion
and soon help the sufferer to better
health.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t

of the most distressing cases, such as
weak kidneys, catarrh of the bladder,
gravel, rheumatism and Bright's Dis
ease, which is the worst form of kidney
trouble. At druggists, fifty cent and

VANDALS IN A CHURCH.
CARPETS TORN UP AND PAINT
SMEARED OVER WALLS.
The Pastor of Atlanta's Big Baptist
Tabernacle Had Denounced
Negro Burning.

Atlanta, Ca, May 1.-The Baptist
Tabernacle in this city, the largest
church of that denomination in the
South, and recently completed struct-
ure, was entered some time during
last night and considerably damaged.
The doors were broken in, the new
carpets torn up, paint was smeared
over the seats and walls, and water
tank up set. On the outside of the
church were tackled placards bearing
such inscriptions as 'Negro lover,"
"Run him out of town." and other
sentiments of that nature. DIR. Brough-
ton reported the matter to the police
today.
One week ago today DIR. Broughton
denounced the burning of Sam Hose at
Newman, and said the lynchers were
as much murderers as Hose was. Last
week DR.. Broughton received one or
two pieces of Hoses flesh, accompanied
by threatening letters. Last night he
denounced the senders of these letters
as towards, and expressed his senti-
ments freely regarding them. DIR.
Broughton thinks the dissertation was
performed by sympathizers of those he
denounced.
A State convention which will. have
for its mission the discussion of assault
and lynching and whose object shall be
to find remedy for existing condi-
tions will probably be called to meet in
Atlanta as soon as delegates can be Sc
lected from the various counties of the
State. The object. will be to provide
swift and certain punishment for crme.
Judge George Hilyer, prominent
lawyer and large property owner, is
taking an active part in the matter.
He will probably ask Governor Gambler
to appoint delegates in few days.

In vain did the prisoner protest that

that he was under no pecuniary obliga-

money paid to him by his employer. on
which the charge for his arrest was
based. was for services faithfully rem
dered.

sufficient to deprive him of his liberty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4, 1899.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4, 1899.
Mr.. EDITOR:
The Buckeye Boys, accompanied by
Mr.. Tabler, called on President Nc
Kinley, yesterday afternoon.
Although the White House was closed
the company secured an entrance and
Mr.. LOffler, the doOr-keeper, after q
hearing Of the case, presented to the
President letter of introduction from
Col. J. A. Kuert.
The President was engaged in con-
ference with Cabinet members and as
soon as it was completed we were ush-
cred into the presence of William Nc
Kinley.
Mr.. Mckinley received US cordially
and seated himself on the side of his
desk and laughed, joked and talked
with us for more than twenty minutes.
He was very much interested in our
experience and asked, sDo you forage
or buy" To have heard him laugh
would do any private soldier good.
Mr.. Mckinley personally thanked US
for our services to the country and told
us that he was receiving good news
from the Philippines.
He asked US as we were leaving II
there was anything he could do for us.
"We'd like your autograph" said
Sergeant Baldwin.
"Well, I'll give you that with pleas
ure" said the President and seating
himself at his desk wrote his autograph
on a card for each of us. AS he was
doing this he said to Mr.. Loffler, the
door-keeper, 'sGive each of these boys q
picture of the White House." then
'sGive each of them flower" and we
each were the recipient of fine carna-
tion.
Such is Mr.. McKinley's treatment Of
the private soldier. He is friend Of
the boys and feels an interest in their
welfare.
Our reception by and interview with
the President was not cold, but he made
us feel at home when in his presence.
We have spent three days in the city
and will leave for Gettysburg this after
noon.
will write long letter about Wash
ington in a few days.
With regards to all,

At that instant a stone came tum-

It was a mere pebble, but to Polly's
frightened ears the sound of its fall was
like the crash Of an avalanche. With .

the darkness ahead, fully expecting to
see bear or a catamount emerge from
the gloom. but she could distinguish
nothing.

presently a shadowy figure pushed out
Of the thicket and stood motionless in

It was a man.

barrel Of a rifle and cried out in tone

glance up at the clock. II am late and

it hanging from the bedpost at his head.
She was now so near him that she could

recumbent form in the darkness. and
again her heart beat fast with appre-
hensior.
"Now or neverr' she exclaimed in
wardly.
Stretching forth her hand with cat
like stealthiness, she began to search
the pockets one by one. 1t was not un-
til she had groped in several of them
that she finally found the keys. and
then an unfortunate thing happened
AS she was in the act of drawing them
forth they slipped from her fingers and

At first Mr.. Price was so dumfound

Then, as he gradually awoke to full
realization OF the deception which had

Then he hurried out to the barn and
harnessed his feetest horse to his
chaise. As it was fully 30 miles to the
dominie's he hoped that he might yet
intercept the fugitives. But he did not
go after them at once. as he had other
plans in view.
The local magistrate lived about a
mile from the farmhouse, and thither
he drove at full speed Luckily that
functionary was at home regaling him

In the meantime the lovers had

been accorded a gracious reception. In

as he ushered them into his parlor that
all their misgivings were allayed, but
when they stated the object of their

dominic consented to perform the cere-

So everything was made ready for the
marriage, and the young couple stood
up to plight their VOWS, when, just as
the ceremony was beginning, two men
burst furiously into the room. Zadie
