MAN WHO SAYS He rs GOD HERE
PROFESSOR MAGoUN SPEAKS OF HIS MIS-
SION AND POWERS.

SION AND POWERS.
Professor A B. Magoun, of West Hanover.
Mass, who is at the Grand Union Hotel, on
his way Florida, says that he is Co.. ana
that his mission on earth is to disseminate
law which will give the Church new light. The
professor is sixty-fve years old and of
patriarchaI appearance his long beard and hair
being nearly white. He has had varied career,
starting in the shoe business and later, when
his shoe stores in Chicago burned out, becom-
ing a stock broker
He says that early in his life he had premoni-
tions of his real identity but it not until
1884 that he realized that he was God. The
churches he says. seeking for something
new and his law will bring them greater
strength The preachers will have something
that is real to talk about. This law is already
making itself felt, notably in the Boer war in
South Africa It's influence has brought success
to the Beers.
"I am not the power" said Professor Magoun
to a Tribune reporter last night. Il am simply
the voice of the power. The power is every
where. 1 am not to raise the dead or to destroy
the living | might tell what changes TINS
power has already wrought and what it will ac-
complish. but do not wish to lay myself open
to ridicule The law will continue with the
world for ten thousand years. Yes am here,
and being here is the law, and whether speak
through the newspapers or in person the law
rich soil. My being present and speaking to
you convinces you that L am God and you IN
turn speak to others. and they are convinced.
Il not here to prophesy, and though
know all 1 must say nothing. Already have
taught five million people to regard the Bible
as from God"
Professor Magoun had few notes written
a paper bag which he read to the reporter.
They were something like this:
Il realize myself how little to be under
stood. I have shrunk from it great deal some
times, but felt the voice within me squirting
me on. My mission is to give TO the people
law which is to govern the entire world.
That law controls everything, acts on material
well spiritual things. Some years ago [
very sick. I didn't think l would live. but
1 had a power with me then. l went around
Cape Horn in a ship, and something told
that while aboard that ship it could not
sink. and that if timber remained, that
timber would hold me- l. didn't understand il
all then. but ii is plain to now
Professor Magoun said that his title of pro
fessor' was bestowed upon him by John C.
Hazard, invalid veteran of the Civil War,
whom he met in Jacksonville, Fla. The papers
were all drawn up, the professor said, but he
afterward burned them.

THE most significant political occur
renee of the week was the booming of
Mr.. Roosevelt as a candidate for Pres
ident in 1904, ny a numDer of Mime
sofa Republicans in Washington, in
Guiding Judge Smery, of Minneapolis.
This indicates that the Fairbanks
boom, which many thought a few
months ago would get the backing of
the Mckinley administration, is dead
at home, and that Minnesota will not
do the 'faVOrite SON. act But the real
significance of the Roosevelt shouting
at this time is the accompanying de-
mand for tariff reform. That demand
is nothing short of a slap in the faces of
Hanna and other Republican. bosses
who have united in saying that there
would be no tariff legislation at the
coming session of Congress. tits also,
perhaps, intended as a hint to Mr..
Roosevelt that the continuation of the
boom is contingent upon his attitude
toward tariff reform. It is we'll known
that Mr.. Roosevelt was personally in
favor of the Babcock reform tariff bill
some uIme ago, but where he stands
now is a horse of another color, and
where he will stand when the tariff re-
formers try to get Congress to act in
defiance of tne orders of the bosses will
be another yet-since he has made his
f1IpfOp on the reciprocity treaties, wise
men are not making any positive state
ments about where he stands on any
thing.
The Weekly Tallahasseean., 1901-11-15
PRESIDENT AND TRUSTS.

Mr.. Roosevelt has yet to define his
attitude toward the trusts. This is, as
President. AS a part of the Mckinley
ticket of last year it. was, of course
taken for granted that if he did not
favor the Republican record, both
legislature and executive, for the pre-
vious four years, he did not oppose it.
Then, ihs attitude on this or any other
question was unimportant.
Now, it is all important, because it
may and probably will determine the
attitude of the Republican majority in.
Congress. Schwab, the president of the
steel trust, other big trust magnates,
and Senator Hanna and other trust
bound Republican Senators and Be
presentaUives have been wrestling with
Mr.. Roosevelt, for the purpose Of win
ming him over, if he is not already won
over, to the trust side. OF course, they
are not asking him to declare directly
AOA IAO u OoIO IACy al COO SA4 O"O 1O1
that. They are asking him to declare
against any revision of the tariff by
this Congress.
The trust magnates recognize the
danger to their profits that lies in the
proposition to lower the tariff on their
products, and know that if Mr.. Roose-
welt declares for revision of the tariff
that there will be enough votes for it,
including all the democrats, to control
both branches of Congress, nOtwith-
standing the opposition of the old Re-
publican bosses, who are owned by the
trusts.
Mr.. RooseVelt's declaration in his
message to Congress on the subject of
tariff revision will show unmistakably
whether he is for or against the trusts.
While it is not yet absolutely certain,
the indications point, says Washing
ton correspondent, to his coming out
on the side of the trusts.

EX-SENATOR Lindsay, of Kentucky,

latter, having some experience in in
ducing Congress to make that sort of
appropriation, declined to stand aside
until the Ohio hat was filled. After con-
ferring it was decided that both as
sociatiOns should go ahead, but that SO
far as possible they should avoid ap-
pearing before the public as rivals for
it's contributions to a Mckinley Monu-
ment fund, although it is not easy to
see now that can be done if both are to
be actively engaged in soliciting con-
tributiOns everywhere. The experience
in the cases of the Washington and
Grant Monuments show that raising
the money for one monument is a big
task. Its magnitude will not be lessen
ed by trying to raise the money for two
monuments to the same men.

In your labors for the cause of edu-
cation, don't forget your public high
ways. Good roads are educational.
They help to develop your community

Rear Admiral Schley's friends are
determined that his case shall go be-
fore Congress no matter what the re-
port and recommendations of the Court
Of Inquiry, which it is now said are
not likely to be made inside of two
or three weeks, may be. If they are
strongly favorable to SchIey, as he and
his friends have a right from the evi-
dence to expect Congress will be ask
ed to promote him to the grade of Ad-
miral-a although he is now on the re-
tired list as Rear Admiral. Congress
can do this, if it sees fit; and if they are
in any way unsatisfactory, Congress
will be asked to investigate the whole
business.

over the country to erect a Mckinley

stand back and allow the Ohio associa-

erection of a Mckinley Monument in

TALLAHAssEE's FUTURE.

Tallahassee has a bright future in
store. 1t is beginning to take on new
life, and is bound to grow. The atten-
Etion of people in all parts of the coul-
try is being directed this way. They
want homes where all the condition for
success are favorable. They have been
|attracted by our delightful climate.
This bringing in of new settlers is
bound to result advantageously to
Leon county, as it will eventually
cause to be opened up to cultivation
thousands of acres of valuable lands,
now lying idle. But we want to be on
I the alert, and extend the glad hand
Ito all desirable settlers. Don't hold
saloof from them, because their COM
ing will induce others to come.
Tallahassee is one of the NOSE deSir-
liable cities in Florida for the homo
fseekers. The people are hospitable, the
schools are excellent, and stately
Pchurches abound on every side. A mure
speaceable class of people does not exist
ANY where. Our police force is small
but efficient. Few arrests are neces-
tsary, as disturbances are not of fire.
;quent occurrence. Indeed, it is seldom
THAT a drunken man is seen on our
streets.
Two new railroads will soon be run
ming into the city, and many improve
ments are now under way. Only a be
sginning has been made in the es*ab-
hlishment of manufacturing enterprises.
SWe have machine shops, a good cot
stOn market, two cigar factories, one of
(which employs over one hundred men.
Eand the other twenty-five. The soil Of
sLeOn county is peculiarly adopted to
5the cultivation of tobacco. Sumatrd.
kseed is sown. 1t is cultivated under
sheds, and the leaf, in color, texture
sand flavor, is equal to the best i'm
SpOrted Sumatra.
The yield of tobacco is from 500 to
p, 40 pounds per acre. 1t brings the
farmer from fifty cents a pound up.
SSThe cost of production is from SIS to
$500 per acre. Tobacco is not the only
money making crop of Leon county.
Cotton yields one bale to the acre,
with little fertilization. Sugar cane,
:cassava, potatoes and other crops
yield abundantly.
|: In order to build up, Tallahassee
needs more manufacturing enterprises.
The city has been growing recently.
There are more substantial improve
;ments going on now than at any time
during the past twenty years. We
want to keep them going, and take the
dead in the list of progressive cities in
the South. In order to do this, it is i'm
Oerative that everybody work together
Harmony of action is required.
L While the past development of the
capital city has been extremely gratify-
lSng, there is no reason to believe that
the future does not hold even greater
possibilities. The exact extent of our
facihCies has not yet been determined.
Only part of our resources have been
.dtiliZed. Our possibilities are mex
haustible, our natural advantages IN
ESurpassed. Solid business judgment
Eand twentieth century enterprise are
ihe necessary requirements to make
Tallahassee commercially great

Especial news from Evansville, wis.I

EVANSVILLE, VISA woman
cured Of catarrh of twenty-five years
standing was the occasion Of Peruna be-
ing introduced to the inhabitants OF
Evansville, Wis. From that time to this
there has been a great demand for Pc
runa in this vicinity and hundreds OF
cases have been cured.
1t is in this manner that Peruna
spreads from town to town and from
state to state. No sort of advertising
could have given Peruna the reputation
1t has. The secret of its success is that
it makes cures. 1t cures old cases of
catarrh where other remedies have
failed. This ought to make any remedy
popular.
Mr.. G.. r. Harden, of Evansville, Wis.,,
writes the following letter:
Dear Doctor Hartman-"I wish to
