TRIAs MAY NOT SURRENDER.
Uncertainty ns to the Plans of the
EIIipino Leader.

MANILA. March about two weeks
ago General Trias. the Filipino leader in
the southern provinces. promised the
Federals that he would surrender in fif-
cen days The time will expire on Sat
rday.
Passes were issued four days ago for
he purpose of allowing Trias to gather
his command. Trias' promises in the
past, however, have not been carried out
and this causes feeling of uncertainty
as to whether he will surrender this time
General Funston is awaiting further de-
velopments before making any move.

AS might be expected, President Nc
kinney is busy. in his affable way, receiv-
ing the many applicants tor office who
are IN Washington with a view to one or
another remunerative appointment. For
tunately for the dispenser of honors and
places, he has large number at his dis
posal. The executive government of the
Philippines alone will demand a small
army of placemen, who will have ex-
cellent pay. because the money comes
out of the Filipinos, and many opportuni-
ties to turn penny also at the cost Of
the natives. Cuba and Porto Rico offer
other openings, and it is probable that
many changes will be made in the diplo-
matte and consular service Democrats
are being turned out wholesale from the
custom houses sub-treasuries, and so on
Altogether there are almost as many
plums for the faithful as there were
four years ago. All the office-seeker has
to do is to prove his work in the late
Presidential campaign. and to be paten
but determined. Hordes of deserving
strikers and heelers in the past have gone
away from the Capital sorrowing and
bitter. merely because they had not the
wisdom or courage to refuse to take mo-
for an answer

THE STATUS OF II. CLAY EVANS.
No Change mt Present. According to
the Pension Com missioner.


H. Clay Evans, Commissioner of Pen
sions. when asked yesterday what foun-
dation there was for the revised story
that he was going out of office as soon IS
the President could find better place
for him, announced no change in his
status was yet in sight. Would you ac
cept another office if offered your was
asked.
THAT is a question cannot answer at
present" he replied. You are safe in
saying. however that as far as the cur
rent reports go. there is nothing in them"
AT the same time the idea Is almost uni
versally accepted here that Mr.. Evans is
going to retire soon. The President will
not let him go out under fire" or with
any stigma of disapproval fastened upon
him: but if there We're some way of pro-
noting him officially. and at the same
time removing Il bone of contention be-
tween the Administration and the Grand
Army. it would not be disagreeable TO
the President

GREATEST CIRCUS IN AMERICA
Comes to Americas on Monday, Oc-

The first big circus of the season to
visit this city will be the Great Wallace
Shows, which will exhibit in Americas
on Monday, October 21st. For seven
teen years the Wallace shows has visit
ed the chief cities of this state and of
the country, but this city never before
has been on it's route. Our citiz ems are
liberal patrons of anything in the cir
Gus line, and a show of the high stand
ard and real merit possessed by the
great Wallace show is sure to be most
literally patronized. A large number
of the residents of this city have either
seen or heard of the Wallace shows,
and have direct knowledge that it is
a high.class attraction, but for the
benefit of those who are mot so well
posted, we will state that the great
Wallace show is one of the largest on
the road, It has a large menagerie,
three rings and stage, and has ma
tional reputation for having the finest
horses on earth. It claims to be the
'Highest class circus in the world, !"
and Judging from the press notices Of
the large cities throughout the coun-
try, the Wallace Show has clear and
IN disputed title to its motto.

On nth of December last year [ de-
cided to quit the retail dry goods bust
ness and advertised my entire stock at
cost for cash to close out. sold every
thing at cost as [ promised to do, and
sold piles of goods, but on account of
beginning the sale so late [ was I'M
able to close out my entire stock before
the season was oyer and as a conse-
quence I had to continue through the
spring and summer.
I am still determined to quit the re-
tail business and offer my entire stock
of dry goods, clothing, shoes, hats,
and gents furnishing goods at cost for
cash.
have begun this sale this season in
time to close out, and this [ am going
to do. I hope to sell everything be-
fore Jan. LIST, as I want to engage in
other business at that time.
have never fooled my friends or
the public, and am not doing so now,
and while did not quit business last
season it was not my fault, but did
give the trade goods at cost as prom
ised, as my customers will attest. My
stock consists mostly of new goods
bought this season, as I thought it
easier to sell the stock with new goods
than without.
You can get just anything you want
here as stock IS unbroken.
Thanking nay friends and the pub
lie for past patronage and soliciting q
continuance until stock is closed, I
am very respectfully,

DRAMATIC FEAST IS PROMISED
In Appearance of Three Fine Attrac.
tions Here.

Rarely has Americas had the privil-
eye of witnessing three fine theatrical
attractions in one week, but owing to
force of circumstances, and the non
completion of the Columbus theatre,
three of the best on the Southern cir
cult this season are booked here for
next week.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights are the dates.
And EAST Lynne" Hennesey Lee
roYle in ''Other Peoples Money" and
''Don Caesar de Bazan" make up the
dramatic menu. Never has a finer
list of attractions been shown here.
Loroyle, in ''Other Peoples Money"
delighted an Americus audience dur
ing the Christmas holidays last year,
end 1t was conceded one of the very
best ever seen upon the local stage.
Miss May Sargent as leading lady, and
fine supporting company is with
Leroyle.
Don Caesar de Bazan is likewise a
splendid attraction, as many who saw
it here several years ago will willingly
attest.
The pathetic and ever beautiful
East Lynne" will be the bill for Mon
day night, and all who have read the
heart story will be anxious to see Miss
Lessi's dramatizatIon thereof. She is
supported by great company, the
Paris costumes being superb indeed.
The three splendid attractions thus
punched together should fill the opera
house Monday Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings next.
