Meeting with the Seaboard Air Line by
branch line some thirty miles east
of Americus, Is now thing ofihe past.
For fifteen years it has been the lar
gest timber mill in Georgia. But now
the mill has been dIsmantIed and the
parts scattered in all directions. The
scarclty"of timber in that section is
the reason why the firm decided to
quit the business. The mill employed
many convlcts, had dozen or more
locomotive engines and over 100 mules.
About 100 of the mules were sold three
weeks ago, and now the machinery
and engines of the mill fall into the
hands of Valdosta men who have also
made trade for all of the machinery
of the mill, includingIthe locomotives,
dry kilns, boilers, etc. It is under
stood that the purchase involved about
$40, 900, and is one of the largest deals
of the kind ever made in this section.

OBITUARY. OF PAPER.
Courier Fifty Years Ago Tells of Pass.
ina of Publication.

The editor of the Courier in 1858
was quite a "cut up and he lost no
chance to make satirical remarks about
his brother editors. Some Of his edi-
torials were great deal more pointed
than is in vogue at the present day, but
at that time it was necessary for an
editor to be as capable of saying
unkind things as in writing in more
complimentary strain. The Des Moines
Republic, a weekly paper published
in Iowaville. now extinct, but then
flourishing village few miles south
east of the city. had suspended pub
licaton, and the following obituary
appeared in the Courier:
"Died on Thursday, the third inst,
in the third year of its age, the Des
Moines Republic. 1t is an extraordin-
ary fact that no mortal ever made
more vigorous efforts to keep UP
healthy circulation, thus infusing life
and activity into its veins, but alas,
all proved unavailing All the phy-
sicians roundabout were one after an
other called upon to administer to its
disease, but all proved unavailing.
1T is said though we are not cog
infant of the fact, that it took cold
while defending the office holders
against the people at Iowaville and
| from thence took rapid decline. Be
| that as it may, it is now dead, and for
one we can heartily bury all animosity
if we ever entertained any-and only
remember it's merits. And while many
ascribe its untimely death to cold we
believe that it died from sheer star
walton, and as our coroner never has
had a job yet, we would suggest the
propriety of an inquest
THE body will lie in state for thirty
/ days, under care of Constable Hall,
this being a cold climate, and there
being no danger of it's spelling, after
which time, its friends will be permitt-
] ed to look upon all that remains of it
for perhaps the last time. Were we to
! die in such an inhospitable cline we
should not want to be buried here, and
so we presume it is with the Republic.
It should be our dying request that our
i remains should be buried where at

Washington, D. c., Feb. 23.-(Cou-

John F. Lacey of the sixth Iowa dis
trict, delivered an eloquent tribute to
the late Congressman j. n. w. Rum
pie at the special memorial session of
the house of representatives, held
Sunday in honor of the late
lowan, the late Congressman
Tongue of Oregon and the
late Representative Moody of North

gathering was the large number of the
employees of the house, among whom
Captain Rumple was a special favor
ite. In the absence of Speaker Hen
derson, Congressman Moody of Ore
gon occupied the speakers chair.
Lacey's Eulosy.
In speaking of Captain Rumple and
his life long desire to serve his dis
| trict in congress, Major Lacey said:
His ship was wrecked in port and he
had only attained the reward of his
well deserved promotion when the
final summons came. In the closing
hours of this congress we have been
called many times to the realization
/ that all men are mortal. Sixteen of
our colleagues have solved the prob
lem that confronts us all. 1t is there
fore well that We should pause for an
hour to think upon the life and exam
| pie of this good and worthy man. He
left good name, which is more than
riches. A mans public career is only
the surface of his life. The depths
beneath are sounded only by his near
| est friends. One Of his townsmen in
a recent letter to me expressed his
feelings in few but earnest words.
All his neighbors believed in him, all
trusted him and our faith and conf.
dence in him were never betrayed;
and, best of all, we loved him."

/ Each OF the congressman from Iowa,

son, delivered short eulogies of their

Thompson CT Alabama and Calderhead

JOHN w. LEWIS RETURNS FROM
CEDAR RAPIDS SATURDAY.
Is Well on the Way to Complete Re-

8 From Clifton Hotel Fire-Emil An
derson is One of the Victims. :.

John w. Lewis of South Ottumwa,
who was injured in the Clifton hotel
fire at Cedar Rapids Friday morning,
was brought to this city and taken to
his home Saturday night. Mr.. Lewis,
although he is confined to his room,
is we'll on the way to recovery, and
yesterday ne was able to talk to his
scores of friends who visited him
during the day Mr.. Lewis considers
himself most fortunate in escaping
from a horrible death, and tells
story of his adventure which fully JUS
titles him in the opinion.
Mr. Lewis, when aroused from sleep
by the cry of fire" was in such close
proximity to the flames that he hao
no time to dress, but simply slipped
into his trousers and made for a WIN
dow in the hall. Letting himself down
from the window ledge as far as pos
sible, he loosened his hold and fell
through the air. His hands came into
contact with a wire stretched horizon.
tally, and this he grasped and held
until he had taken advantage OF Its
slack. Then he plunged down again
through the air and brought up on the
roof of the kitchen, which is one
story affair The fall stunned him and
he rolled off the kitchen to the ground
Even here Mr.. Lewis good fortune
did not desert him.. for his fall to th'
ground was made the easier by th'
! fact that he alighted in a bank OF sor
snow. Here he lay for a few minutes
unconscious, but on regaining his senses
he hobbled into a restaurant nea
the hotel. Here he was sheltered TO
a short time and colored man, com
ing into the place and finding the sui
| ferer. removed his overcoat and SaV'
it to the Ottumwa man. Soon afte
man wearing rubbers over his shoe
| entered the restaurant and he respond
ed yery quickly to Mr.. Lewiss' reques
| for the rubbers.
Mr. Lewis says that the scenes a

had ever imagined he would witness

ROOSEVELT OBJECTS.
Said to Have Advised Dropping of Re.
vision Talk.


Washington, D. c., Feb. 21.-(Spe-
cial)-The rumors which were out
last night that Governor Cummins OF
Iowa had been advised by President
Roosevelt to drop the tariff revision
talk, are growing today. Governor
Cummins spent the evening with the
President and last night talked with
him on political conditions. Today it
is understood that the President urged
that there be no tariff plank in the
Iowa platform this year and advised
that the question be dropped at least
until after 1904. All prominent leglsla-
tors agree that there can be no revl-
sion of the tariff before 1904, and 1t
is feared that the constant discussion
of the subject will unsettle business.
Cummins will not talk today. Before
he had seen the President he said that
he thought there would be a tariff
plank in the Iowa platform. If he was
again nominated for governor. Gov
ernor Cummins stays here until Mon
day, and then goes to Florida for a
short stay.
