APPEAL TO UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT.
MOVES Will Be HEARD
President Says Charges Against
Accused Judge Must Be
Fully Investigated.

washington, req. S0-An appllCa-
tion for a writ of habeas corpus in the
Alex. Mckenzie case will be filed to.
morrow in the supreme court. The
application is now in the hands of the
printers. It is lengthy and sets out the
case in detail, on which account it
was impossible to get it ready today.
A. z. Wheeler has written a letter
to friends in Washington stating that
he has not drawn any salary as
Alaskan court officer since last Octo-
Der He at that time resigned his post
as private secretary to Judge Noyes
and was at one appointed assistant
district attorney at Cape Nome.
Word from San Francisco is to the
effect that the circuit court of APP
peals there has rescinded the order
charging up the cost in the contempt
proceedings against Mckenzie. This
action was taken after Mckenzie had
let it be known in San Francisco
that he would bring the case to the
supreme court.
The day after Mckenzie was con.
victed an officer of the court tele-
phoned to the Jail ordering that Nc
Kenzie be allowed no especial privi-
leges, but to be treated as any other
prisoner, and two days after this a
supplemental order was issued tax
ing up the costs Of the contempt pro-
ceedings against Mckenzie.
1t was possible that the costs would
have been held by the supreme court
here as partaking of the nature of a
fine which probably explains why
they have been taken off.
Today a prominent eastern member
of the senate, who had been reading
of Noyes' case in the papers, and had
concluded that Noyes was to be dis
missed, called on President Mckinley
in company with a constituent whom
he introduced and strongly recon-
mended as Noyes' successor. The
president smiled and then said,
"You're a little too early, senator.
It is by no means certain there will
be a vacancy. There certainly will
not be until the department. of Justice
shall have had time to make a thorough
investigation of the charges that have
been preferred. If this investigation
shows Judge Noyes to be guilty, he
will be removed, of course, but not
otherwise
This conversation YVES reported to
the anti-Noyes people here, and in
consequence they have reluctantly
abandoned hope of having Noyes re
moved by the president at this time.
They are darkly limiting that they
will begin to move in the direction of
an impeachment.

More recent inquiries reveal that
the DR.. Dodd, who persisted with the
sinking of the mail steamer Rio de

Honolulu. The name Of the missing

UP AND DOWN.
Stock Market Makes Short Squirt Only
to Fall Again.

New York, Feb. 25-The stock
market made a remarkable exhibition
this morning Of spasmodic strength,
followed by a sudden relapse and a
period of undertaking dullness and
dropping prices up to the close. The
principal influence in the opening
bulge was the many rumors and Cir
cumstantial accounts of the alleged
details of the steel merger and the
terms Of exchange of the proposed new
securities for existing stocks Of the
steel companies. This accumulation
Of conjectures was supplemented by
reports Of the proceedings of brokers
up town during the three days. inter-
val while the stock exchange was
closed. The prices bid by some of
these brokers for blocks of the Steel
stocks and the sales made according to
report about the up town hotels were
calculated to excite speculative Gu
pidity. They excited bidding which
was thus attracted in the opening
dealings sent prices of Steel stocks up
like a rocket. Tin Plate was most
notable in the width of fluctuations.
The stock was rushed up Is points in
a few minutes and after dropping back
was lifted again almost to the top
level, but it ultimately gave way with
the whole market. The other Steel
stocks, including both the comma and
the preferred. were up from one to
nearly six points. These prices brought
in heavy realizing sales at the start.
The professional room. operators were
obviously disposed to let tho group
alone, not caring to compete with in
siders in %pretension to accurate knowl-
edge Of the value of the stock. Be-
sides this influence which whipped the
Steel stocks into effervescence, the in
terval since Thursday had seen the
publication of the favorable bank
statement of Saturday.

St. Louis, which was then a mere over- grown town on the western frontier of civilization, has de- veloped into great commercial metropolis, and that great modern newsgatherer, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has kept pace with the progress of it's city and section. It has been, from it's first issue to the present time, the children's tutor, the youths 8 counselor, the woman's co mpan- ion, the farmers instruc tor and friend. It's circulation extends to every state and territory of the union, to Canada and Mexico, and to every part of the world where there are readers of the English language. It ought to be in your home during the coming year. See advertise ment elsewhere in this issue.

ARE SATISFIED WITH MEASURE
Relative to Control of County Funds in
Making Purchases.

Representative w. T. Lane, of Sum-
ter, has recently introduced in the low
er house bill to repeal the act amend
ing the act to control the county funds
so far as the same relates to the pur-
chase of goods by boards of county
commissioners.
The present state law, recently en-
acted, gives satisfaction.
Under the provisions of tn act which
Mr.. Lanes bill seeks to repeal, boards
of county commissioners are prohibited
from purchasing county supplies from
stores in which members thereof are
interested.
Neither can members of county board
purchase for the county, goods from
any immediate kinsmau.
In many counties In the state, where
this purchasing power was used to the
detriment of other merchants, those not
related to members of the Board of
Commissioners, this law met with great
favor.
Representative Lanes bill was in
troduced on Friday, aad at this late
date there is probably but little chance
of its passage. 1t is understood that
the sentiment of members of the
house is opposed to any change of the
present law.
Sentiment over the entire state faV-
ored its enactment last year, and the
people, doubtless. strongly favor it.

SCORE OF PUPILS
To JOIN IN DEBATE,
Great 0ratorieal Contest Promised
Americas.
BRIGHT SCHOLARS TO COMPETE.
Representatives of Schools in Pour
Counties Will Enter oratorieal Con-
test to Take Place in Amerleus Fri
day, December 18th.

The greatest oratorical contest ever
waged in Americus will take place at
city hall on Friday evening, 18th inst.
when a half score of bright pupils,
representing the public schools tf
Sumter, Schley, Marion and Macon
counties, will meet here and make the
rafters ring with their eloquence.
The exploits of Cicero and Demos
themes will be naught in comparison.
All details are nearly completed,
and the proposed occasion will be one
of great interest to the papils of more
than hundred public schools in the
four counties above mentioned.
In order to engender friendly rival
~ among the prize debaters in these
county schools, this public debate
here on "middle ground" was pro-
posed. Each county will send at least
two of its best speakers, and this
champion debate will be an occasion
long to be remembered.
Sumter's two representatives were
selected here yesterday.
Pupils from six county schools,
Plains, Sumter City, New Hope, How.
ell, Messy Dell and Fidelity, two from
each, assembled at city hall.
A committee Of competent judges
passed upon the orstorical abilities Of
the twelve contestants, and when the
verdict was written Miss Ethel Mar
kett, Of Sumter, and Mr.. Frank Tim
norman of The Plains were selected to
represent our county in the great de-
bate on 18th inst.
Both Miss Market and MIR. Thinner
man are we'll advanced in elocution,
and Sumter will have cause to feel
proud of her representatives. Supt.
w. s. Moore has the affair in charge.
