IoHN RoBINsON's SHOW.
A gorgeous, SumptuOus and Inn
rressive Augmentation.

To sneak of the merits of John Rob-
;r.on's Ten Big Shows Combined is
merely CLOVES labor lost" with the
noonle Of this nation. There is not an
amusement lover on the continent who
il not cognizant of the fact that it is
now and has ever been the best among
the hest. Everybody does not know,
however, that during the last winters
vacation the show has received aug
mantation so fast and so important
as to dwarf by comparison even its
own great exhibitional excellence. We
alude to the grand, gorgeous and sub
lime Biblical spectacle of Solomon,
His Temple and the Queen OF Sheba, "
in which innumerable people are act
i've participants, and which is complete
in scenographic effect, typical produc-
ton of Biblical personages and events
prolific in pageantic and professional
features, lavish in enhancing ballots
and terpsichorean advertisements, and
rich in trappings and appointments,
requiring for it's production the lar
gest stage ever constructed and con-
spicuously portraying sacred events,
scenes and incidents such as the judge
ment of Solomon, arrival of the Queen
Of Sheba, the City of David, the pal
ace and temple, the walls and towers
Of jerusalem, Solomon's 700 wives, the
sacred ark of the covenant, the great
ivory throne, procession of war chart
OTIS, slaves bearing incense, lovely
cresset dancing girls, courtly and mar
tial parades, exciting chariot races.
This eminently moral, historical and
mind elevating spectacle will COM
mend itself to everylove of the sacred
and beautiful.
The Robinson show with its sublime
spectacular accession is to exhibit in
Dawson on Thursday, October 30.

Give Our Side a Chance.

In our article of today taken from
the New York Herald, headed "Busi'
ness Men in Theatricals, we notice
that ga Wise Woman" is going to
make few stops before starting run
in San Francisco. Now why can't we
have this company stay one night with
us? They surely must have a first
class company to contemplate an ex'
tended run in the western metropolis.
Such a company would DE relief from
the number 2, 8 and sometimes COM
papies that we generally get. Give US

EASTERN MAIL WILL
COME AT e:45 A. NJ.
DAWSON WILL SOON BE ENJOYING 4
FAST MAIL SCHEDULE.
President EaQan Of Central Railroad
Says New Arrangement Will Go Into
Eject on November End.

Dawson is to have a fast daily con-
nection with the Southern Railways
New York-New Orleans fast mail
train. With all of southwest Georgia,
Dawson will begin TO enjoy the new
arrangement on November 2, and this
means that eastern mail will then
reach here early every NOR ming on the
6;45 Central train.
In an interview in the Atlanta Con-
stitution President John M. Eagan of
the Central railway says:
81 am now engaged in the rear
rangement OF our schedules to the end
of making connections at Macon with
the early morning trains which now
leave Macon for all points along the
southwestern division of our system. l
cannot say exactly at this time at what
hour the new train will leave Atlanta,
because | must first hear from our
connections at Birmingham and other
points. | have already taken the mat
ter up with them and reach a conclu-
sion in the course of few days. | can
only say now that the new schedule
will take effect on the same day that
the Southern establishes its new fast
mail schedule between New York and
New Orleans, November 2. This con-
nection at Atlanta will put eastern
mail to the points in southwest Geor'
gia and southeast Alabama at an early
hour IN the morning and will give the
people of that section the best mail
schedule they have ever enjoYed.
Cali points of the southwestern di-
vision of our system and all points be-
tween Macon and Birmingham will be
reached by the new arrangement. BY
simply making a new early morning
connection between Atlanta and Ma
con all eastern mail will be distributed
along our lines in this territory by the
schedules now leaving Macon about 4
o'clock in the morning. This will put
the New York mail as far south as AL
bany at an early hour in the morning
and all points between Columbus and
Macon and between Macon and Albany
and along the other lines of the Cen
trail over into eastern Alabama will re-
ceive the New York mail much earlier
than nowI7indeed, they will have, in
effect. breakfast delivery. This mail
will also connect with brownsville
and other points in that section of the
state.

NEGRO PREACHER SHOT AT.
Bullet Cut Short ExhOrtation to
His Flock.

Services that we're being conducted
at church in Randolph county few
nights ago by negro minister of Daw-
son were varied by an incident that
was not on the program. The Cuth
bert Leader tells of it as follows:
Grey. Jesse Ross, a colored Baptist
preacher of Dawson who serves a
church near Cuthbert, claims that he
was shot at Sunday night while 10 the
pulpit expounding the gospel. A "A
calibre bullet, he says, was fired from
the rear of the church and penetrated
the walls of the building, but failed to
touch him. The alleged attempt to
assassinate is said to have occurred at
Mitchell Grove, a church about five
miles south of the city.
Rev. Jesse Ross declares further that
he received recently an unsigned let
ter containing rude drawing of cof-
fin and threatening him with death il
he continued to preach at Mitchell
Grove. He thinks this enemy is a
member of his own race.
Ross is an immense black negro,
weighing probably 225 pounds, none of
which is surplus flesh, and in a hand
to-hand encounter would probably be
able to take care of himself. When
seen on the streets Monday, how
ever, he had a small body-guard
composed of faithful adherents OF his
flock.
Tablets, crayons, pencils, dolls, etc.

LAND ENTRIES HELD UP.
Those in California, Washington aud
Oregon Under Timber Act.

Washington, Nov. PAN entries Of
public lands In California, Washington
and Oregon, under what Is known as
the timber and stone act, have been
held up by the government on account
Of alleged wholesale speculative frauds.
and q rigid investigation will be made.
There are some hundreds Of thou
sands of acres involved in these dis
tricts. The interior department has
received many reports charging tho
existence Of frauds In the entries, and
Secy. Hitchcock win urge upon
Congress the necessity Of prompt ac-
ton in amending the law to protect
the public domain from despoilers, At
some local land offices carloads OF en-
try men arrive simultaneously and
make timber and stone act entries, and
the circumstances indicate that the
cash required to exploit the entries
originates from some other source. The
cost of an entry Of 100 acres under that
act, with the incidental commissions,
Is s4i5; and as many as 1--WE members
of one family, according TO official re-
ports, who never had 5000 In their
lives, have walked into land office
and paid the price Of the land and
commissions.
INSCRIPTIONS spectators also. II Is
claimed, have obtained timber upon
these unreserved timber lands by max
ing so-called mining claims, under the
placer mining laws. The department
proposes to institute rigid inquiries into
the bona fide nature Of these entries,
and, when the latter are found to have
been made in the interest Of those
other than entrymen. the entry will in
every case be Cancelled and criminal
proceedings begun. All local land Of
fees in the section involved have been
directed TO Immediately suspend action
on all timber and stone entries.

PANAMA CANAL
NEGOTIATIONS.
Cabinet Discusses Hitches That
Have Occurred.
NO MORE CONCESSIONS
state Department Reaches the End
VIII Now Turn Its Attention TO
The Nicaragua Route.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost ex-
clusively 10 the consideration OF the
status Of the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba and the canal treaty with Colon
ba. The bitches that have occurred
In the negotiations were discussed as
were also the prospects of settlement.
Secy. Hay while presenting the
subject Of the canal negotiations, was
not able to report that any progress
had been made during the past week.
In fact, II appears that the negotiations
have come to dead stop and while
no such thing as an utimatum has
passed, the precise situation may be
described in the statement that the Col
omban minister here, Concha, has dis
tlnctly informed the state department
mat he cannot In behalf of his gov
eminent accept the last proposition of
the United States as basis for a
canal treaty The state department
has already let 1t he known that IL has
come TO the end of its concessions, so
the chances Of renewal of the nego-
uations In the near future are not very
bright
This state of affairs will stimulate
the negotiations with Nicaragua, and
Costa Rica for the alternate route, but
1t now appears that the diplomatic rep
resentatives of those countries are not
disposed 10 allow themselves TO be used
nd
DESTROYS of remaining in the back
ground until 1t shall be clearly estab-
lIshed that no treaty can be made be-
tween Colombia and the United States.
One OF the statements of fact In con-
nection with the Panama route which
has been brought to the attention OF
the state department is that the orlgi-
nal canal concessions will expire in
1904, and It has been suggested that
the Colombian government has that
fact In mind and is disposed TO refrain
from making treaty now, In the ey.
pectation that the franchise will lapse
and 1t thus may be in a position &c
build the canal itself or to sell a new
concession Such course would raise
n very serious question between thu
Colombian government, the Panama
canal company, the French govern
ment and the government of the United
States as to whether or not q supple
mentary decree extending the conces
sion ten years from 1904 was valid.

THEORY IN THE GORE CASE
American and French Doctors About Agree
That Death Was Due 10 Accident
This Relieves Casc OF Any Inierna-
uonal Signifleance-D emonstra-
ton at The Paris Morgue.

Paris, Nov. 25.-In spite OF the rigid
secrecy which has been maintained by
the officials and by the commission Of
American doctors concerning the result
OF the autopsy conducted by the latter
on the body Of Mrs. Ellen Gore, II Is
learned from an authoritative source
that the doctors tend TO the acceptance
Of the theory OF an accident and the
probabilities are that their official re-
port will strongly incline to that the
DRY, IL II does not positively assert 1t.
thus bringing the French and American
doctors into agreement and relieving
the case Of any international signih-
canoe.
After the post-mortem examination
held this morning the American doctors
arranged 60 have a consultation later IN
the day In order 10 draw up their Of
fetal report, but this conference was
postponed, owing TO the indispositlon OF
one Of the gentlemen. Meanwhile the
doctors were interviewed by the repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press, but
they positively declined to make any
statement as TO the results Of the ex-
animation. 1t Is clear, however, that
the American doctors are impressed
with the thoroughness with which the
French surgeons investigated the case
and they are not inclined TO raise a
professional Issue.
At least two of the American doe
tors hold an outright accident theory
and they will seek to have that view
incorporated in the official report. The
grounds for this conclusion are the fol-
lowing:
The French experts exhibited at the
morgue this morning a geometrical de-
sign in which one line showed the d.
rection Of the bullet from the revolver
as II struck the floor and another line
showed the victim In leaning posture,
sitting at the foot of the bed as had
been described by De Rydzewski The
angle OF the bullet wound tailed ex-
actly with the geometrlcal design
based on De Rydzewski's statement and
the American doctors verified this. The
fact that the direction OF the wound
was almost parallel with the earth Is
accounted for by the leaning posture OF
the victim. The doctors regard this
design as almost equal to mathemati-
cal demonstration.

MeNieans Prefer Silver.

Mexico City Nov 25.--The premium
on New York exchange continues 10 adj
vance and today II was 1856; that Is.
2.s5 Mexican silver Is required to buy
one American gold dollar. The large
farmers in the interior and planters
throughout the country say they do
not care II the dollar falls to 30 cents,
as only the city merchants and import
ers want gold. They urge that the de-
preciated silver keeps the dollars IN the
country and makes business good. In
porters take another view and are gem
orally refusing 10 make prices on mach
inery, supplies etc, except In gold.
Bankers realize that payments coming
due will be made In dollars worth con-
siderably less than when the money
was loaned. The government has the
matter under advisement and advices
regarding the adoption Of a gold stand
ard from Europe and the United States
are being constantly being received.
