torium to Be Erected.
Waycross, Ca, March 2L-Waycross is
preparing for one of the grandest reli-
gious revivals ever seen in this section.
Arrangements have ben completed for a
union meeting to be conducted by Sam
Jones and Rev. L. G. Broughton of At
lanta. On account of the fame of these
two eminent evangelists there is not a
church in the city large enough to ac-
commodate the crowds that will be in
attendance, and an immense pavilion will
be erected. The meeting will begin Sun
day. April 2s. and will continue until
May 10. This will give a two weeks re-
vival. Cheap rates will be secured on
all railroads. and visitors are expected
here from radius of fifty miles.
1t is the desire of the people to erect a
permanent auditorium in this city and If
suitable location can be secured the
structure erected for the coming meeting
may be a very substantial affair.

Two other stories will probably soon be
added to the Phoenix Hotel block, which
will make that one OF the most imposing
| buildings in the city.
A lively runaway on Plant avenue yes

| element. a horse driven by Elmer, a
young son of Mr.. John A. Lott, became
frightened while standing in front of Don

street He took to the sidewalk near the
Wilson block, and demolished a letter
box. Turning the corner, he ran up AL
bany avenue and around the court house,
stopping of his own accord, near the Par
ker building Elmer and Master Joe Lott
were thrown from the wagon, and had a
narrow escape from injury. No serious
damage resulted from the runaway.
Deputy United States Marshal John p.

Of counterfeiting in Berrien county. The
man was brought to Waycross and given
a hearing before United States Commits
sioner Myers. He was committed to the
| Ware county Jail temporarily to await
trial, which will occur as soon as the
necessary witnesses can be procured.
Quite a number of business changes
have occurred in Waycross recently.
James T. Strickland, the cross
tie man, has purchased the
livery business of j! NJ. Flynn

CHEESE CAUSED HIS DEATH.
Physicians Think Young Carlson
Was Gagged With 1t and
Thrown Into River Mt Chi

Chicago, March 21.-A piece of cheese
four inches long. three inches wide and
three-fourth of an inch thick is thought
to have been the cause of the death Of
Charles G. Carlson, who disappeared
Christmas eve and whose body has been
found in the Calumet river.
When DR.. Springer held the post-mor-
tenn examination to-day the piece of
cheese, unmasticated, was found in the
stomach. The theory is that the cheese
was used as a gag by assailants of Carl
son and that when he was thrown into
the river the thrush OF water and gasp
ing forced the piece of cheese down his
throat and into his stomach. Stephen
Burke and Robert Tester, two young
boilermakers, who are known to have
been enemies of Carlsons have been ar
rested and charged with the murder.
