FAST MAIL GREETED
Swift Flyer From New York
Prompt on Schedule Time.
GREAT RECORD RUN IS MADE
Southern's "NeW York and New Or
leans Fast Mail" Accomplishes
Initial Trip Without Hitch
and Clock-Work Precision.

The first exclusive mail train that
ever entered Atlanta, Ca, rolled into
the car shed Sunday night at 11:09,
two minutes ahead of schedule time.
It was the Southern's new New
York and New Orleans Fast MAIL and
carried only mail and express cars.
The train was pulled by the Southern's
largest locomotives and made exact
time all along the run.
Although it was the trains first run
it was heavily loaded with mail and ex-
press, full justification OF the sound
ness of the judgment OF the railroad
officials who had put it on.
On the run from Washington four
locomotives were used The train
consisted of four cars-three postal
cars and one baggage car. SO heavy
was the mail that the three cars were
not able to hold it, and number OF
sacks had to be stored in the baggage
car.
The Atlanta and West Point left
with one mail car and coach behind
locomotive IS. The mail to the south
west was so heavy that the coach had
20 be filled with mail sacks.
The utter inadeQuacy Of Atlanta's
present car shed was never better
shown than in the confusion which
came in transferring the mails. How
ever, the work was done promptly, and
all the trains got out on time.
The Atlanta and West Points flyer
was ready to take up the connection,
and tea minutes after the arrival OF
mo. g." on the Southern, mo. 81"
on the West Point, moved out of the
car shed and began its fight to the
gulf. It was due to arrive in New Or
leans Monday morning at 1915.
At 11:45 the Southern's train to Rir'
mingham left, carrying the New YORK
mail to Birmingham and the points OF
the Mississippi valley and t;le south
west, which are reached quickets
through the Vicksburg and Shreveport
gateways.
The train worked like clockwcrk on
it's first run, and it is the purpose OF
the management of the different roads
running it to have it on time at all
times. Both on the Southern and on
the West Point, "No 81 has the right
Of way over all trains, and everything
will have to clear the way for the New
York mail.
This train breaks the record of time
between New York and Atlanta. cover
ing the intervening distance in TWEEN
ty-two hours. 1t puts the New York
mail in the city six hours sooner than
heretofore, and to many places south
and west will mean saving OF from
twelve to twenty-fCur hours in receiv-
ing the eastern mail.
Dispatches from all points along the
Southern tell of joyous receptions ac-
corded the train. The great improve
ment in the mail service from the east
is evidently fully appreciated by the
people whom it chiefly benefits.

Optimistic View of the Future.

President Palmer, in Message, Takes
Optimistic View Of the Future.
The Cuban congress, which adjourn
cd October 20, reconvened at Havana
Monday. President Palma, in his mes
sage to congress, takes an optimistic
view of the future of the republic. He
refers to the remarkably good order
that has been preserved throughout
the island, which he says is proof OF
the peaceful nature of the Cuban peo-
pie. The president says also that the
sanitary condition of Cuba is today
even better than it was during the Pc
riod of American Intervention.
"Our relations with the United
States" continues the message, "are
especially cordial; proof of this is to
be found in the negotiations between
Cuba and the United States for COM
mercial treaty on a basis of mutual
tariff concessions. The special object
of this treaty is to obtain positive adj
yantages for our products, particularly
sugar, which is the principal basis OF
Cuban wealth.
ut can be hoped, from the sympathy
with which the American people re-
gard us, and from the manifest inter-
est which President Roosevelt enter
tains in the prosperity of Cuba, that
reasonable arrangement, by means OF
this treaty, can be arrived at"

INDIAN LOSES WEALTH.
Hishwaymen Used Decoy and Secured
S2o 600 in Cash.

Hishwaymen Used Decoy and Secured
$4,000 in Cash.
A dispatch from Missoula, Mont,
says: A wealthy Flathead Indian
named Matchell has been robbed Of
s22,eOo in cash, the money consisting
Of 500 bills and $40 gold pieces.
Matchell visited the town Of Plains
and turing his absence at night, q man
dressed as a squaw visited his home
on Camas Prairie, and engaged in con-
versation with Matchell's squaw. Mrs.
Matchell noticed that the visitor was
not an Indian squaw, but white man
and her suspicious were aroused, when
she saw two men run from an outbuild-
ing where the wealth had been stored
and carrying something with them.
The robbers jumped on their horses
which were nearby, the man that had
been talking to the -squaw joined them,
and the three hurried away, leaving no
clue.
Matchell is the wealthiest full blood
Indian on the reservation: He has
large herds of cattle and horses and
was always known to have money,
which he kept in an old trunk in an
outbuilding.

RICH HAUL THISI
Robbers Hold Up Saloon Keeper
and Get $1,000.

Robbers Hold Up Saloon Keeper
and Get $1,000.
A special from Appleton, Wis,
states that Martin Cornelius, a veal
thy saloon keeper of that city, was
held up and robbed of $4,000 late Tues
day night. Cornelius was In Oshkosh
Monday, when he intended purchas-
ing some real estate, and this &C.
counts for his having such a large
sum of money on his person at the
time of the robbery.
He left the latter city about 6 o'clock
and arrived at Appleton shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock. Leaving the interurban
car at the corner Of Pacific and
Bates streets, he met two men who
confronted him and ordered him to
throw up his hands. One OF the men
held Cornelius hands to his back,
while the other covered him with a
revolver. and went through his pockets.
The money, which was in one roll
and consisted of bills, ranging In de-
nomination from $40 to $500, was car
ried in his inside vest pocket. After
securing the roll, the robbers warned
Cornelius against making an outcry
and then disappeared.

FOR THANKSGIVING DAY.
President Roosevelt Issues ProcIanna.
nation Designating Thursday,
November 9th.

President Roosevelt Wednesday or
dered issued his proclamation desig-
mating Thursday, November 81, as a
day of Thanksgiving. The proclama'
ton is as follows:
According to the yearly custom OF
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day OF tes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
"Oyer a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have had on
the whole more to be thankful for than
has fallen to the lot of any other peo-
pie. Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear It's peculiar bur-
dens, each to face It's special crises,
and each has known years Of grim
trial, when the country was menaced
by malice, domestic or foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon 1t in drought or flood, or pesh-
lence, when in bodily distress and an
guish Of soul it paid the penalty OF
folly and a froward heart.
Nevertheless, decade by decade, we
have struggled onward and upward;
we now abundantly enjoy material well
being, and under the favor Of the Most
High are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting. The
year that has just closed has been one
Of peace and overfowing plenty. Bare
ly has any people enjoyed greater pros
perity than we are now enjoying. Fol
this we render heartfelt and solemn
thanks to the Giver of good, and we
seek to praise Him, not by words only.
but by deeds, by the way in which we
do our duty to ourselves and to our
fellow men.
"Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, president Of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day OF gen.
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the 9th
of the coming November, and do rec.
ommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their ordinary occu-
pations and in their several ZONES and
places Of worship render thanks unto
Almighty God for the manifold bless
ings Of the past year"
