Between the Missouri and the Paci

strip of culturable prairie not about
two or three hundred miles wide, the
region is waste and sterile. no better
than the desert of Saraha, and quite
as dangerous to cross" The author
of these words was Edward Batos, of
Missouri, whom Horace Greeley long
afterward doomed for the Presidency
in the New York Tribune and in the
Chicago Republican convention Of 1860,
and who became Attorney General in
Lincoln's cabinet.
This was in the session of Congress
of 1890. AS late as 1S4S McDufle, OF

WHAT HAVE YOU DoNE2

From the Chicago Record Herald.
You are going to do great things, You

But what have you done?
You are going to win in splendid
way.
As others have won; 49,
You have plans that when they arc
put in force
VIII make you sublime;
You have mapped out a glorious up
ward course
But why don't you climb?
You're not quite ready to start, you
say;
lfyou hope to win
The time to be starting is now-to'
day
Don't daily; begin!
No men has ever been ready as yet.
Nor ever will be;
You may fall ere you reach where
your hopes are set
But try it and see.
You are going to do great things; yon
say
You have splendid plans;
Your dreams are of heights that are
far away;
They're a hopeful mans.
But the world when it judges the case
for you,
Al the end, my son,
Will think not of what you are going
to do,
But of what you've done.

grip at the Cannon house in Atlanta
few days ago. AS the grip had
been found in a room which had been
occupied by a gang OF supposed nc
boes, who had been arrested and sent
to the stockade, the officers at once
concluded that the gang were bur
glars and safe blowers.
There are nine members OF the
gang, and they we're sentenced to 80
DAVIS in the stockade, and bound over
for vagrancy in the recorders court.
when the grip with its deadly ex-
pIosives and arsenal was found, the
police decided that the best and SAT
est place for men who had such an
outfit was the tower Accordingly,
the nine men were taken from the
stockade and placed in the tower.
For some weeks past the police have
received information Of burglarIes
and safe blowing in the small towns
near Atlanta.
James NJ. Mc1Iichael, night mar
shall of Forsyth, accompanied by D. G.
Hunt Of the same place, arrived in
Atlanta shortly after the incarcera-
ton Of the prisoners, and, going to
the tower, took a look at them. Nc

the other plumber as one that was
taken from him recently when he was
bound and gagged and bank in For
syth robbed. Hunt identified one Of
the men as one who had been in his
store the day before the robbery was
committed.

MARX GRAVES OF GRAY.
Nation Viii Care for Resting Place Of
Confederate Dead at North Fora
ker Bill Passed.

A Washington special says: The
house at Thursdays session passed
the army appropriation bill, also the
Foraker bill providing for the mark
ing Of the graves Of confederate dead
buried in the north.
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama made q
plea for the creation of a confederate
memorial commission of three men,
bers to investigate and report the
proper steps to mark the graves OF
the confederate dead and offered an
amendment to that end.
Mr.. Hull stated that his committee
had reported the Foraker bill, which
practically accomplished the ends
sought. Mr.. Underwood replied that
this applied only to confederate dead
in the north. Mr.. Williams of Mis-
sissippi, urged Mr.. Underwood to with
draw his amendment on the ground
that all that the confederate veterans
and the women of the sc lth wanted
was the provision of the Foraker bill;
that the confederate dead in the south
should remain sacred to the care OF
the south.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio commended
Mr.. Williams statement and express
ed the hope that there would be no
opposition to the Foraker bill, which
he regarded as forging another link
in welding the north and south.
Immediately Mr. Prince Of Illinois
asked and secured unanimous consent
for immediate c. deration of the
bill.
The bill provides for the erection
of white marble headstones over the
graves and the fencing of the same.
A commission is authorized to locate
the graves. After a brief discussion
the bill was passed amid general APP
plause.

Idle Cotton Mills Sold.

Under a foreclosure of the mort
gage held by the United States Mort
gage and Trust company, the Atlanta
Cotton mills, which have been shut
down for over a year, were bought in
by the bondholders OF the company
at q recent sale conducted by the re-
ceiver.
The price paid for the property was
$10,500, and was made by the trus-
tees for the bondhOlders.
The plans Of the bondholders who
have secured the property are not
known, and it has not been learned
whether the mills will be put in opera
ton soon or not.
To Investigate Killing of Convict.
Warden Jake Moore of the state
penitentiary went to Macon under in
structions from the prison commits
sion to investigate the recent killing
of the convict, Wade Berry, who was
shot by G. W. Oxley, one Of the
guards.
The coroner's verdict was one Of
justifable homicide, witnesses testi-
flying that Berry was making an at
tack upon Oxley with a piece of coal
or rock at the time the fatal shots
were fired.
The prison commission is determin-
ed, however, to get at the bottom Of
the affair. Berry was one of the short
term felony convicts furnished to Bibb
county by the state under the new
penitentiary law, which provides that
any county may take its quota of con
victs III lieu of a share of the re-
ceipts from convict hire for educa-
tional purposes.
These felony convicts, though work.
ed by the counties, are still under the
exclusive jurisdiction OF the prison
commission, and it must, therefore,
look into this matter.

For her ears only by The wanton breeze.
She cannot make me think the smiling san
Moves westward from the east across

She praises, and doubt myself no more.
