MOSS IN TROUBLE
ABOUT A HORSE
And Wagon and Their
Disappearance jim At
ianta.

Mr.. Tom Davis, who lives near New
Marietta, had working for him a young
man named George Moss, about 10
years old. Mr.. Davis sent Moss to
Atlanta to sell produce loaded in a new
wagon pulled by large bay horse. He
had ten bushels of apples, seven bush
els of peas and three bushels of beans.
Moss peddled the produce out and re-
manned several days. Mr.. Davis went
to Atlanta Friday ard Moss told him
he would be home Saturday evening
and make returns. He failed to put in
his appearance ard Mr.. Davis went to
Atlanta Sunday and got on crack of
Moss, who had gone to Palmetto. Mr..
Davis went to Palmetto and Moss had
left. He offered $40 reward for Moss
arrest and the marshal of Palmetto
followed and arrested Moss in La
Grange and turned him over to Mr..
Davis, and he brought him to Marietta
tied with rope, and put him in jail.
Moss said he had snapped the horse for
a mule and left the mule and wagon in
Gillette's stable in Atlanta. Gillette
says that only mule was left ther&k
Moss has refused to tell to whorz
snapped the horse. Mr.. Davis

An amusing story comes from Mis-

1t is the hOspitable custom down there

Statesman and the planter it worked
beautifully. 1t has now, however,

An Absurd Tariff Tax.

Notwithstanding the alleged short
age" and high price of coal last year.
the Manufacturers Record makes the
remarkable showing that our produc-
ton last year was the greatest ever
made, and also far in excess of the
rest of the world. The astonishing
fact is shown that the United States
output is beyond that of Great Brit
ain; that Pennsylvania will do as much
as all the bituminOus coal mines of
Germany, while West Virginia does
as much as Belgium. and Illinois as
much as France. Soft coal output in
this country has doubled in ten years.
so that the tonnage of the variety of
fuel alone for last year amounted to
the enormous total of 254,OOO.OOO
tons.
Under these conditions a tariff on
coal becomes an absurdity, not only
as tax on the ordinary consumer,
but as an obstruction to our man
ufacturers in gaining control of the
worlds markets.. The suspension. of
the tariff for one year is little fess
than an aggravation of the evil The
tax should be removed altogether.

More Of Those "Undigested Securi-
ties"

Chicago Chronicle: Some of the cur
rent newspaper discourses on ''undi-
gested securities" proceed upon the
assumption that when J. Pierpont
Morgan used that term he referred
only or mainly to railroad securities.
Tt is true that in his own remarks on
the subject he made special mention
of those securities and abstained from
mentioning other kinds. 1T is not
a necessary inference that he had no
other kind in mind.
Men do not always publish from the
housetops all that they have in mind,
and this is extremely likely to be true
of men who have some undigested
things which they are anxious to in
troduce into the public stomach.
When Mr.. Morgan sent forth his
bulletin he was trying to excite an
appetite To this end he talked of
infallible signs of prosperity, progress
sive and prolonged. There was going
to be plenty of capacity for .securi-
ties. lie wished to impress that deep
ly upon tie minds of those who were
beginning to banker but were shy
about getting right hungry.
Next, in order to persuade the han
kerers that it would be safe to bite,

the chief magician among the promo
ters sought to impress upon the
minds that there were very secure Sc
curities awaiting their digestion.
There were railroad securities, for in
stance, which did not represent water
but substantial additions to the mile
age. equipment and earning power of
properties.
Then Mr.. Morgan left the public, in
GLIDING the press writer's, to mistake
the for instance" for the whole thing
and assume that the head magician
had nothing else in mind As a mat
ter of fact it is safe to say that he
had something else very much more
in mind.
The great mass of ''industrials" un-
derwritten during the last few years
is about half water-probably more
than half. Perhaps half represents the
actual plants included in the various
combines at high valuation. 1t may
be mostly old stock in new form.
The other half is double distilled wa
ter, representing nothing but the sup
posed power of the several combines
to eXtort money from consumers UNI
uSE shelter OF the sacred DlnRIeN
tariff.
Of this mass it is stated that over
$300,000,000 is still in the hands of un-
derwriters. not even swallowed, much
less digested. 1t is this more than
the railroad kind that Mr.. Morgan
most likely had in mind.
Possibly such securities are secure.
But what if the administration should
get after the industrial combines in
earnest as ii seems to have got after
the railroad merger? Or what if con
gress should get enough Iowa on the
brain to rae the Dingley shelter
from the front of those who are sell
ing goods from 20 to 80 per cent
cheaper abroad than at home? Might
not thoese aqueous securities in
which Mr.. Morgan is so deeply inter
ested look somewhat less substantial
than he would be pleased to have a
hungry public think they are?

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
HyOmei Goes to the Root of the Disease and
Makes Astonishing Cures.


Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and SOCIAL
ed system tonics. Under such treat
ment the germs of the disease will
still live in the air passages and in
crease and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh, kill
ing the germs in the air passages, it
enters the blood with the oxygen,
destroys the microbes in the blood
and effectually drives from the sys-
tenn all traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have
been given as to the astonishing
cures made by this remedy. J. S. MI
gent, treasurer of the American
Union Life Insurance company, of
New York City, writes. "Hyomei has
completely cured my daughter of ca
tarrh, from which she has been suf-
fering for years.
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact
that L. H. Thomas agrees to refund
the money to every customer who
can say Hyomei has not cured them.
Now is a good time to cure your
catarrh.

The Indians have come into line in
advancing financial civilization and
formed u little trust of their own
which is causing the cattlemen of
northeastern Kansas to wonder. The
Indians own many miles of fine cat
tie range in that section and for years
they summered cattle on their reser-
vatiOns for 81 a head. Then the cattle
owners began bidding against each
other for the choicest corners of the
range and the abOrigine calmly lit a
fresh pipe and said he thought that
he must really charge So for each
steer. This was willingly paid and the
red men opened his eyes and began
to give the matter little serious
thought, which resulted in the quiet
announcement few days ago that
the range interests had been pooled
and that the price hereafter would be
So a steer for pasturage. The cattle
raisers were fairly caught and many
will pay the advanced price, as they
have no time to make other grazing
arrangements.

In connection with the legality of
The law passed by the last legislature
extending the terms of Office of may
crs. members of the city council and
boards of education of the several
cities OF the Territory. the New Mex
lean says:
lit is tenaciously asserted that the
act of the last assembly providing for
an extension of terms of mayors,
members of the city councils and OF
boards of education of the several
cities of the Territory is absolutely
unconstitutional and will not stand
the test of the courts II this is real
" so, why not try the issue! 1t must
be admitted that in this city there are
several members of the council, as
well as of the board of education
whose services could be dispensed
with. with great advantage and ben
eft to the people and the better
ment of the administration of city
affairs and of the city schools. 1t
would be very easy to test the ques-
ton. Any interested citizen can ask
for a mandamus directing the mayor
and city council TO call a city election
on the first Tuesday in April. II q
peremptory mandamus should be
granted by the court. that would be
the last OF it.
