shotgun Duel.

SnONSuh Ducts
Midwife, Ga. Aug. 17.-P. B. Smith
and ]. J.. Pope met here this evening,
and after exchanging a few words. be-
gan shooting at each other. Smith was
shot in the bowels with shotgun and
died in twenty minutes. Pope held his
gun, defied arrest. jumped in his buggy
and drove hurriedly out of town.
After reaching his home, six miles
from here, he telephoned that he was
ready to surrender to the sheriff of
either Burke or jefferson county, and
has telegraphed both of them that he
had killed Smith and is ready to sur
rerder
The killing OF Smith is the last chap
ter Of the history of a bad feeling that
has existed between these two men for
some time. Such an ending has long
since been predicted. A few years ago
Smiths gin house was burned. He
accused Pope of the crime and a diff
iiculty ensued. smith was IA the act
of drawing a revolver and Pope shot
him, but the wound did not prove ia
tai.
Ever since they have gone armed for
each other and to-day met and opened
fire. Which fired first no one seems
able to tell, but Smith fell and died
shortly afterwards. They were both
brave men, and both prominent farm
ers. While the killing is a great ca
lamity il has long been expected and
very little surprise is expressed.

Kansas City, Mo. Aug. 17.-Boats
are again being used to transport per-
sons between the two Kansas cities, the
James street bridge and the Metropol-
itan Street Railway Company's bridge
over the Kansas river having been car
ried out by the strong current.
The river is higher than at any time
since the June flood and other struc-
lures are in danger The wrecked
bridges are temporary pile affairs con-
structed hastily two months ago. A
further rise is expected as half a dozen
tributaries to the Kansas river west of
here are bankfun.
When the James street bridge went
out, it floated down stream and car
ried away the steel railway bridge
which supported the Kansas City, Kan
sas. gas main and telephone cable. To-
night that city was practically in dark
ness. The wreckage of the two bridges
finally lodged against the Great West

ened that structure and put it out of
service, the bridge will, it is believed,
remain intact.
All Rivers Rising.
All streams in Kansas, including the
Kaw, the Smoky Hill and the Repub-

heavy rains last night. and this water
is expected here late tomorrow.

Southwestern railroads met here to-
day for a consultation with their gem

The discussion was entirely on legal
matters and it is stated was not of
general public interest. Nothing was

worth Absolutely Nothing.
Atlanta, Aug. 17.-Chaitman j. S.
Turner of the Prison Commission and
Commissioner Tom Eason, have gone
to Milledgeville to inspect the Prison
Farm. 1t is stated. however, that their
visit has no special significance.
Speaking to-day of the report of the
members of the commission on the
whipping of Mamie DeCris Mrs. Marie
Louise Myrick of the Americas Times
Recorder, said: 1.-The report of the
commissioners on that outrage justifies
every word 1 uttered in that recent
interview which was published over the
state.
II struck the keynote of the situa-
ton when l said the commissioners
intended no action, for their reports
sustains the statement. Allagood the
woman beaten, resigned and the COM
missioners were tickled for it gave
them a chance to squirm out of the
hold in which they found themselves.
But had not the warden resigned tle
commissioners would have attempted
to smooth the whole affair with as
little to say as possible.
THAT the Prison Farm has been rid
of Allagood is not due to the efforts
of the commission, the press of Geor-
gia forced him to vacate the position
he so much abused as to brutality
thrash a weak, sick. half-ciazy white
woman, and the Prison Commission
deserves no credit for its action in the
matter. Their report will be received
by the people of Georgia for what it
is woodworking, absolutely nothing"

MAY BUILD RAILROADS
IN PHILIPPINES.
Root and Taft Discussing Plans of


One for LuzOn.
Washington, Aug. 17.-Secretary Root
has been in correspondence with Gov.
Taft regarding the construction of a
system of railroads in the Philippine
Islands amounting to some 400 miles.
It is proposed to build a line from
Manila north through Luzon to the
harbor at the northernmost end of the
island Another proposed line is from
Manila south to Batangas.
The propositions which have been
considered by the Secretary of War
and the Governor of the Philippines
contemplate aid by the Philippine gov
eminent in the construction of the pro-
posed roads. 1t is believed that guar
antee of the interest on the amount
of the cost of the roads, in case the
roads prove unable to pay such in
terest out of the earnings, will be suih-
Gent to induce capital to invest in the
different enterprises
The Secretary of War believes that
the construction of these roads would
be of immense benefit and would settle
for all time the question of possible
instructions in the island of Luzon.

TO LYNCH MURDERER
RANCHERS GATHER.
sheriG Declares He Will Resist to
the Last.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 17.-Walter Jack
son, who is in Jail at Hamilton, charged
with the murder of the 6-year-old boy
known as Buck. is reported in immi-
nent danger of being lynched.
The sheriff has barricaded the jail
and the crowds talk of cutting the
wires to prevent him from commune
eating with the Governor. Hundreds
of ranchers, aroused to fury by the
nature of Jackson's alleged crime,
poured into Stevensville, the boys
home, and Hamilton, during the day.
The Jail is heavily guarded and the
sheriff has declared he will resist to
the last. 1t is believed that the only
thing that has thus far prevented mob
violence is the request of the murder
ed boys parents that the law be al
lowed to take it's course.

MARR0QUIN NOTIFIED
TO MAKE NEW TREATY.
Basis Given for II Not Likely to
Prove Acceptable.

Prove Acceptable.
Bogota, Colombia, Aug. IA, via
Buena Ventura, Aug. lit is reported
to-day that President Marroquin has
been authorized by Congress to make
a new treaty which will not require
further ratification but that the basis
given for the treaty will probably prove
unacceptable to the United States.
1t is considered, however, In official
circles. according to reliable informa-
ton, that the authorization given by
Congress to make new treaty will
furnish basis for reopening negotia-
tons with the United States.
1t appears that one of the objec-
tions to the ratification of the treaty
which carried weight in the Senate.
was that the Panama Canal Company
did not come to a previous arrange
ment with the Colombian government
for the transfer of the concession.
The action taken by the Senate,
moreover, seems to have been infu-
enced by the communication made by
the American minister in which the
introduction of any amendments to the
treaty was objected to.
