PEONAGE CHARGE
IS BEING PRESSED
Federal Authorities Seeking to
Unearth
IMPRISONMENT IN THE SOUTH
Federal Grand Jury Is Now lnvesti-
eating Charges Against Georgia Cit
lzens Which Have Resulted from
Government Probing.

Atlanta, Oct. 31.--The federal
grand jury for the northern district
OF Georgia Is now investigating the
charges Of peonage brought against a
number Of citizens of this state as
the result Of an investigation which
has been conducted by Assistant At
torney General Charles w. Russell,
who has been in Georgia for the past
ten days.
The investigation was brought to
light by the presence around the fed
eral building OF number of foreign
ers who claim to have been held In
bondage by Georgians living down the
West Point road. From Newman and
other points in that section have also
come reports of the Investigations be-
Ing made by the government in the
effort to stir up trouble for Georgians
In this direction.
1t Is understood that Assistant At
torney General Russell has been sent
out by the special direction of Presi~
dent Roosevelt and In this connection
1t will be remembered that an effort
to fasten the charge of peonage on a
number of prominent Georgia citizens
was made by government attorneys
two years ago, but the crusade prov
ed unsuccessful. 1t seems that the
result of the Investigations made at
that time did not satisfy the officials
of the department of justice, for the
effort is now being renewed.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railway has lot of trouble with
laborers which it has brought to Geor-
gia to work on its line. Many OF
these men after making contracts to
work out their railroad fare, have pro-
ceeded to jump the camps as soon af-
ter reaching them as possible. Rail-
road officials who tried to force these
laborers to live up to the agreements
they had made found themselves fac
ing charges OF, peonage.
Gentlemen interested in attracting
immigrants to the south declare that
these charges have in a number Of
instances been trumped up by agents
of railroads leading to the west in or
der to keep immigrants out of the
south.

New York, Oct 31.-Rear Admiral
Salas Casey, who has been abroad
for two years with his family, return
ed Tuesday. The admiral said that
the new battleship Dreadnaught had
created considerable stir in naval cir
cles. Il hope the people of the
United States will give support to
congress to pass the necessary bill
to add such ships to our navy" said
the admiral. When asked how the
American navy compared with the
British navy from a fighting point of
view, he said: Il know we do not
mind two to one, but five to one might
prove little too much"

MODERN GUNS IN
HANDS or INDIANS
Renegade Utes Wear War Paint
and Feathers.
LARGE BANDS JOINING THE uTgs
cheyennes Are Ready to Fight at the
Drop of the Hat and Are the Best
Armed Tribe of indians in the Unit
ed States.

Butte, Mont. Oct. 31.-A special
from Sheridan, Wyom. says;
Danger from the 700 or 500 Chey-
enne Indians joining the renegade
Ute band has become a reality. To-
day six companies will leave Sheri-
dan and proceed up Togue river to
assist and join forces with the troops
from Fort Keogh expected to arrive
there tonight.
The troops from here cannot hope
to make Ashland, 80 miles north, be-
for Thursday evening. This mill
Auger, of the Twelfth cavalry, and
will be guided by c. C. Rousculp,
better known as Jesse James Rous-
culp." He is familiar with the In
dians and especially with the Chey-
ennes, having Campaigned with Gen
aral Crook here in 1868. He was
also in the battle of the Little Mud
dy in 1867. and was present when
Chief Lame Deer, of the Cheyennes
attempted TO shoot General Miles.
According to Rousculp, the Chey-
snnes are ready to fight at the drop
of the hat, and are the best armed
tribe in the United States. He says
the Indians have been buying modern
guns and ammunition for the past
year, and the young blood8 are anx-
ious to follow in the footsteps of their
old chieftaln, Little Wolf, Lame Deer
and Standing Wolf. Rousculp's state
mont explains the hurried change in
the plans of the troops under Colonel
Anger, They expected to unload to-
day at Arvada, but instead they were
brought to Sheridan and the wagons
sent ahead at once
The Indians are sullen and seem not
at all afraid of the soldiers. The
troops from Fort Meade, under COM
mand of Colonel Rogers, coming over
land, are expected to reinforce the
troops now watching the Indians be-
fore morning, but no attack Is planned
until the concentration of the entire
force now in the field. 1t is thought
the plans Of CHIEF Scout Charles Long,
will be followed, and an attempt made
to catch the Indians at night, when
all are together. Private advices
received here, report the killing of
a sheep herder on Butte Creek and the
destruction of q herd of sheep by a
band of Ute Indians.

The Story of a Medicine.

It's name-u Golden Medical Discovery"

ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed ~Golden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
it ever since has been, without particle
of alcohol in it's makeup.
A glance at the full list of its ingredi-
ents, printed on every bottle-wrapper,
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
in our American forests. All these in
gradients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical ex-
perts. teachers and writer's on MdteTiG

best remedies for the diseases for which
UGolden Medical Discovery" is advised.

From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ

that the ingredients composing the 0Gold-

WATER WORKS STAND TEST
Dow City Rejoices That New Plant
Proves Effective in Severe Test

The people of Dow City are rejoic-

water playing on the burning ROOM.
The fire had gained great Roadway
when first discovered and the room
was ablaze from end to end. In a
few moments the firemen had the
blaze under control. and it is the
Judgment of all that had it not been

been consumed. The business men Of
Dow City are consequently congratu-
lating themselves upon their narrow
escape and they feel that the new
waterworks system has already paie
