State Department May Take Vigorous
Action In Russian Affair.
Washington, May 8.-The state de
partment has received official con.
f1rmation from its agents in China of
the increase in the Russian garrison
in New Chwang, Manchuria and there
is reason to believe if President Roose.
Welt approves, that it is preparing t.
take vigorous steps in the matter.
Secretary Hay is in communication
with President Roosevelt in Califor
MIA, and on the Iatter's decision the
secretary's course will depend.
1t is stated that the department has
had its patience tried by the course
of the events in Manchuria, and that
it now contemplates a more radical
step than any which has heretofore
marked the negotiations between the
powers on this subject.
The proposed step contemplates joint
action by Japan, England and the
United States. The preceding nego
tiations have been hamperd by the in.
ability of this government to act joint
ly with other nations without violat
ing its traditions, but it is now limited
that some plan of cooperation with
England and Japan may be devised
that will have the effect of convincing
the Russian government of the united
determination of the three nations to
Insist upon Russia's evacuation OF
Manchuria, while not actually com.
hitting the United States to a formal
alliance. This program is subject to
the approval of the president.

TRAGEDY AT MACON.

ens-Latter Arrested.
Macon, May 8.-Baldwin Jones was
shot and instantly killed by Borsie
Kitchens Thursday afternoon, two bull
lets periecing his heart.
The shooting took place in vacant
lot on Mulberry street, near Third,
and was witnessed by no one except
the man who used the pistol and his
victim.
1t was the result of an unexpected
quarrel between men who had for
years been warm friends and between
whom there had never been a previous
disagreement. Jones had been run
ming large plantation in Twiggs coun-
ty and in January last sublet to Kitch-
ems portion of the farm, at the same
time selling Kitchens a mule
Kitchens moved to the Jones home
and has since lived with the family
Some days ago the original contract
between Jones and Kitchens was
amended, by which Kitchens was to
leave the ground originally intended
for him and work upon land remote
from the Jones home.
The two men met in Macon yester-
day and in discussing their affairs it
appears that a quarrel ensued with
the aforementioned unfortunate result.
Kitchens says he was compelled to
kill Jones or be killed.

Abolition Subtreasury System.
Chicago, May 8.-James H. Eckels,

Instead of the government keeping
it's revenues in bank created upon
business principles" he said, "the sub.
treasury system has been created,
which is simply an enlarged safety de-
post box where the revenues Of the
government remain in idleness, except
when disbursed through congressional
appropriations or by the secretary OF
the treasury through bond purchases.
The subtreasury takes from the chan.

BestowS that Health and

If you are sick and out.of-sorts, it is in your
power to make yourself healthy, strong, and
happy.
There is not the slightest reason why you
shouldgo through life feeling sickly, miserable.
languid, and melancholic. To be well and
strong, means happiness and true JOY.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgia,
dyspeptic, or have the shadows of disease
lowering over you; if you are not as bright,
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. Thous-
