lot of money on any event. They were to
tap wire near the room, get the horse
first past the post, and, by means of
signals, make hurried onslaught upon
the unsuspecting proprietors.
The scheme looked very attractive to
Williams and the more he thought about
II the more he liked it, until finally he
consented to furnish The money but with
the distinct understanding that he was
not 10 part with any of his coin until he
saw the wire actually tapped and was in
possession of the information. This was
very agreeable to the gentlemen, and to
evidence their candor in the matter they
not only show him the apparatus by
which they were going to steal the cleo
trio secret, but also explained TO him the
foil mode of procedure.
Two or three days later the party left
for Albany. arriving there the night be-
before the killing. The next forenoon
Williams was ushered into room, rent
ed for the occasion and fitted up as
modest pool ROOM and two of the al
legged proprietors were pointed out to him.
Then he was shown the preparations at
the spot where the wire was to be tap
ped, and in due time saw the actual OPP
Grafton performed on a wire which was
bogus, of course, so far as the alleged
pool room was concerned.
Finally the man stealing the thunder
past the post and Williams gave the
other one $4,000. The last named party
rushed away to the room and in a very
short time returned with the Informal
tion that the money was on at 215 to l.
He and Williams were standing on the
street and there was nothing to do but
await the confirmation and then cash.
But just at this juncture the unexpect-
ed happened, for turning a nearby cor
ner clad in a blouse, with his pants in
his boot tops and pair of lineman's
climbers, came a man with a hurried
step.
"A Western Union repair mani" gasped
the man who had wagered the money, and
at this we started away with leaps and
bounds up the street and down a side
street Williams in close pursuit. They
raced until exhausted, and were putting
and blowing when the man who tapp I'd
the wire Joined them. the confederate line
man having performed his part perfectly.
II so happened that the horse which the
wiretapper gave out on a guess actually
finished second, being beaten only by an
eyebrow. The fact was learned by the
trio little later. and then the two sharp
ers set about to convince Williams that
while the horse was no doubt first under
the wire as the operator at the track saw
it, the judges in their official verdict had
reversed the positions This sounded plau-
Slble to Williams, ana, reluctantly pocket
ing his loss, the party returned to New
York.
1t was explained to Williams that such
a mistake would not occur once in mil
lion races, and. with hope of getting
even, h concluded to try it once more
This time he was taken to Covington, KY.
Here he gave up $1,000 more. The man
who went to wager the money never re-
turned. the wiretapper suddenly vanished
ond late Williams learned that the alleg-
ed room was a fraud pure and simple He
has not seen the men since, but swears
that he will shoot either one or both Of
them on sight.

NATURES SPRING MEDICINES.
Many of Them Prove Very Pleasant
to Take.
From the chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
That 1t is necessary to take little med
icine in the spring is one of the beliefs to
which we are attached, without question
ing ourselves much as to the reason why
The precise kind of medicine taken de
ponds largely upon family tradition; some
place their reliance on one remedy, some
on another. Nature, whose remedies are
not given perfunctorily, brings out her ma
terra medica in due course, and admins
ters her dose, Disgusting them in pleas
ant fashion.
One of the first and best of her remedies
presumably given to cure rashes and all
ills that arise from impurity of the hood
is Watercress When we find the bronZed
variety we know that her dose of sulphur
and iron, not to mention the phosphates,
is an exceptionally good one. What pleas
anter way can we have of taking these
than as a crisp relish to bread and butter,
as a sandwich a salad or as sauce to
roast mutton? And if any one knows not
watercress soup, they have something
good yet to discover.
Mustard and cress, spring onions and
radishes and young lettuce are all in ma
lures hand waiting for us to make use OF
them and most people will be quick
enough to seize ON these; but when the
and when sorrel peeps up and she would
have US take them also few heed her adj
vice Nettle or dandelion beer is to be
had in some places. perhaps, but not even
there will you meet with a dish of young
nettle tops-soidisant spinach-or dan
delion salad. Yet in these we should get
taraxacum, for the cure of dyspepsia and
for the correction of appetite and taste,
as well as the remedy for that trouble
some eruption called the nettlerash-the
cure indicated in the name.
Spring cabbage never feils to receive a
cordial welcome from all, and though
there Is hardly any Other vegetable which
in it's growth so impoverishes the sol, of
the garden, there are few others from
which we gain so many of these valuable
phosphates needed for the enrichment and
publication of the blood.
Onions are one OF the finest nerve tonics
we have. and II spring onions are chopped
and spread between slices OF bread and
butter they form a sandwich that II eaten
at supper time will do great deal toward
insuring a good nights sleep. Plenty OF
onions Ahould be found In a spring salad,
even though eating them iso,ates one from
his fellow men.
Dryness of the skin and other erupions
call for more fruit to be eaten. In garden
rhubarb we have a valuable medicine.
even II Il be an humble one. While youns
and fresh its acidiiy Is not excessive and IL
lends itself to the making OF delicious
pies-yes. even of ices. Excellent. too, are
rhubarb fTitte.s, and later, when Il Is fully
grown. rhubarb will run a close competi-
ton with champagne.

The PopuIists Decide TO Put Out a
Full Ticket. ~ t,.z.s. F.


Dublin, Ga, May 2S.-About sixty Popu-
lists met at the Court House in Dublin,
Saturday, and resolved not to so into the
white primary July Il, but to meet by
delegation July and put out fun ticket
for county offices. The meeting Saturday
was called by Mr. w. ]. Joiner, chairman
of the Populist Executive Committee, for
the purpose of deciding the future course
of the party.
For some weeks past It has been the gen
eral opinion that the Popuiists would put
out no ticket for county offices this year,
and a most cordial invitation, May Is, last,
was extended by the Democratic party to
former PoDulists 10 return TO Democracy.
Since that time many former Populists
have expressed their intention of so do
ing, and did all they could to prevent the
middle-of -the-roaders from putting out a
ticket, but to no avail
The meeting Saturday was not as har-
monious as it might have been, and was
chiefly noted for the abuse heaped upon
the Democratic party, and Democrats in
general. Mr.. J. k. Baggeet, eX-represen-
tative in the Legislature, was the star
speaker.
A number of others spoke also, but were
more temperate in their remarks than
Mr.. Baggett.
The decision of the Populists to put out
ticket does not disturb the Democrats
in the least, In 1898 every Democrat was
elected in this county by majorties rang
ing from $50 to $50 and 1t is quite certain
that the Populsts this year will poll
nothing like the votes they did two years
ago. All of the conservative men of that
party were in favor of making no fight
this year. and will not longer affiliate with
that party, which in this county is too
dead TO skin"
From now until July IA politics in this
county will be warm, a large number of
candidates having announced themselves.
For Ordinary, Messrs. w. A. Wood and
7. j. Blackshear are candidates, with the
possibility of Judge Jno. Wesley Jones get
ting into the race.
For Tax Collector. Messrs. w. B. F.
iel, w. c. Bishop and j. r. Shep-
herd have announced and Messrs J.
j. Mullis and Walter b. Jones are consid-
ering the matter
The sheriffs race will probably be be-
tween Messrs. f. E. Hicks. the present in
cumbent, and w. e. Coney.
For Tax Receiver Messrs. ]. N. Adams,
T. G. B. Law, Weaver Gilbert and John
Burch are candidates
For Clerk and Treasurer Mr.. Joel e.
| Kinchen is a candidate, and will be OPP
| posed by the present incumbent, Mr.. w.
| j. Hightower.
Mr.. j. Fl. Gopp, who recently deserted
| from the Popuiist party, will be voted for
| by the Democrats for reelection to the
| office of county commissioner, and will
| probably have for running mates Messrs
| II. A Knight and ]. l.. Manning.
