State Geologist Yeates feels very much
gratifed with the prominence which
Georgia assumed by virtue OF the state
exhibit. On account of the appropriation
Professor Yeates was unable to get to-
gether larger exhibit than that which
the state agriculture department keeps
on exhibition at the state capitol.
This exhibit is one of the most beauti-
full and valuable in the southern states

Yeates believes If he had had funds with
which TO collect a more imposing exhibit
showing the resources of the state he
would have been. able to secure many
other medals for Georgia.
The gold medal obtained for the collec-
tive agricultural exhibit came from the
25-acre farm In Cobb county owned by
John A. Manget The exhibit contained
ia kinds of products. including almost all
the farm products capable of cultivation
i'm this state.
The exhibit was arranged by Mr.. Man
get and Professor Yeates and occupied
space Of 200 square feet This is the Sec
ond medal obtained by Mr.. Manget on
his 25-acre farm. The other one was OBJ
tanned at the Omaha exposition.
The agricultural exhibit of the Southern
railway, comprising products along the
line of the company. was an interesting
display. The recognition which the state
received at the hands of the committee of
Judges is regarded as commendatory, con-
sidering the small amount of funds APP
propriated by the legislature for the pur-
pose. -

TRAGEDY OF LOVE ENDED.

CHICAGO. Oct. 11.-George fDolinski,
convicted of murder, was hanged here to-
day.
Dolinskfs crime was the murder Of his
brother-in-law, Anton Lisle, a year ago.
Doiinski became infatuated with Mrs.
Isle, his wife's sister. That his clandes-
tine wooing might not be interfered with,
Dolinski sent his wife on a visit to her
parents in the Old Country
Isle, however became suspicious. No
vember 9th the two men met in a pas
ture north of Irving park. When the po-
lice found Isles body there were four
bullet wounds in 1t and the throat was
cut.
Dolinski was arrested, but declared that
he and Isle had quarreled about money
matters and that he had been compelled
Tense. The evidence against Dolinski,
while mainly circumstantial. was suffi-
Client to convince the jury that murder
had been done in order that Dolinski
might marry Mrs. Lisle
Meanwhile Mrs. Dolinski, in Europe
heard that her husband had been arrested
but the report also said that it was for
her own murder. Supposing that she could
get him out of his predicament, Mrs. Dol
insd, with her infant. hurried back only
to discover the real state Of affairs. She
did not abandon her husband, but did all
in her power to aid him. She visited him
in the Jail yesterday and when she learn
ed that the supreme court had refused to
grant supercedeas, she fell in a faint.

WOOD FILES REPORT ON CUBA

WASHINGTON, oct. 1O-The war de-
partment has made public the annual re-
port of Major General Leonard Wood.
commanding the department of Cuba for
the last fiscal year A preceding report
treated of the civil administration Of the
island. This report deals with military
affairs entirely.
The total number of deaths of officers
and enlisted men during the year was 81,
a percentage of less than LIS. Yellow fever
has now been almost driven from the
island, owing to the energetic war upon the
mosquitoes and the sanitary precautions
adopted. However, during the past sum-
njer five officers of General Woods STAN
were taken i'll with yellow fever and three
of them died. Among the headquarters
employed there were forty-eight victims to
yellow fever with eleven deaths.
General Wood devotes a good part of his
report to statement Of the results at
tending the tests of the artillery fortif-
cations left by the Spanish and summarize
ing these, he says:
''The behavior of the guns and carriages
was rather better than expected by the
artillery officers
The old canteen issue is revived in this
report through a substitute report fur
nished by Inspector General Burton. He
said that the exchange is a great comfort
to the soldier in Cuba, who is deprived
of many of the comforts known to him at
home. The officers generally complain that
the elimination of beer from the exchange
has worked hardship on the soldier and
has been detrimental TO good order and
military discipline.
General Burton has some interesting
recommendations to submit based on the
experience of the American soldier in
Cuba. For instance, he says that the
cavalry pistol is too small in calibre. 1t
has no stopping power, though it carries
unnecessarily far. The general recommen-
dalton of the service is that the calibre
be Increased above 45 rather than decreas-
ed, and given range of 70 or 100 yards
for effective work. Except for its shock
action the pistol is of little service. The
sabre should be enameled with bicycle
enamel as should all metal parts of the
equipment, to resist the rust. which rapid
" destroys steel and iron in Cuba The
cavalry boot is stunned by all soldiers,
and 1t is recommended that it be aban-
doned. The kaki leggings are unsatisfac-
tory; they bunch at the ankle, are not
durable and must be laced too tight. If
a logging is to be worn at all 1t should be
an English leather Logging. The campaign
hat has no proper place in the army in
tropical climates. At any rate, II should be
of much better material and lighter. Final
" Colonel Burton recommends complete
revision of the cavalry drill regulations,
which are severely criticised.

TINDALL TO REMAIN IN JAIL.

MACON, Oct 10.-The supreme court
decisions last night contained one more
bit of sad news for Harry c. Tindall,
who is in Bib Jail for deiaulting with 5000
of the Macon Hardware company's re-
ceivership funds.
Mr.. Tindall had appealed to Judge John
s. Gambler to let him show why he had
suffered enough for the offense against
the court and to prove that he is finan-
cially unable to pay back the money.
Judge Gambler refused to let him have
a hearing, saying 1t was not yet time TO
consider such a move. Judge John r.
Ross, Tindall's lawyer. then appealed to
the supreme court, asking that Judge
Gambler be compelled to hear Mr.. Tindall.
The supreme court refused to interfere;
and now Mr.. Tindall is left TO lie in pris-
on while his attorney studies out some
other plan to pursue.
But Judge Ross seems to have exhaust
ed about all Of the known remedies pro-
vided by law. He has been of the opin-
ion for some .lme that the law puts a
prisoner absolutely at the mercy Of a
judge in such. cases; but he continues TO
work and try every plan that he can
think of.
Mr. Tindalrs daughter. Miss Fannie
Tindall, vino is one of Macon's brightest
and most accomplished young ladies, left
last night for Cienfuegos, Cuba TO join
her brother. Mr. w. w. Tindall. who has
a school there. She will assist him in
teaching.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

CLEVELAND, o.. Oct. 1o.-Concerning
market conditions The Iron Trade Re-
view this week VIII say:
Heavy buying of pig iron. and the
strength shown for some weeks in struc-
turaI iron is now more general In foundry
grades. While foundry furnaces have NOT
yet encountered such buying movement
as that of November, 1900, or March, 1901,
there is free contracting for 1902 and the
recent advance in prices Is generally sus-
tanned Southern sellers who recently
made an advance of so cents a ton have
intimated that If present demand Is main
tanned in the next two weeks a further
advance IS a probability. Much will de-
pend on the course of northern makers,
who are now selling in some districts be-
low the delivered prices of southern iron.
The business of the week has been well
settled. In the Chicago district imple-
ment makers have been in the market for
large amounts which come on the heels
of liberal buying by malleable interests
In the central west further large pur-
chases have been made by the United
States Steel corporation about $1,000 tons
OF basic iron for this years delivery hav-
ing been taken. An independent company
has also bought basic iron. The. result
is that the supply of northern basic Is
practically taken up for the remainder
of the year and southern sellers. have
named a birmingham price OF %4zs equiv
alent to s1615, Pittsburg. Bessemer iron
is firm at s15.25 at valley furnaces, Furth-
er sales have been made in the Pittsburg
district and we note sale Of q, 600 tons
by an Ironton, o., furnace TO steel
works In the same district. Tt is under
stood there has been some feeling Of the
market for basic iron for delivery In the
first quarter Of next year. Notwithstand-
ing the enormous output OF steel there is
scarcity Of billets for early shipment and
s2s is paid, though contracts for the first
quarter OF 1902 can be made at s24, central
western mill The finished material mark
cts all show great activity accompanied
by firm prices. The rail business for next
wear has been further increased In the
week, and 1t is fully certain that 10000
tons of rails are on the books for 1907
delivery, estimating the tonnage that
must be carried over. BY those interested
It is estimated that two million tons
will be closed before the new year begins

yesterday afternoon continues to grow.
The speech is the topic OF discussion and
there is general anticipation that discip-
