After some delay the burning
structure was broken into with
view of rescuing the imprison-
ed children. All three were found
on the floor in one of the rooms
dead, their bodies smoking hot,
but fortunately only a little
burned. The rescue was made
with much difficulty and danger
but the house itself and the con
tenes were destroyed, not even
the clothing being saved.
The origin of the fire is not
known but it is presumed one
of the children played with
matches or with the kitchen
stove.

The effort to Ibamboozle Governor Smith in
the matter of passenger rates utterly failed. The
railroads prepared petition, Or a number OF them
asking the administration to increase the passenger
rates land quite a number of Atlanta business
men hoodwinked into signing the petitions
which had great deal to say about the improve
ment in business, that is to be. But the governor
refused to make any concession and easily showed
the weakness and mistake of the petitioners and
his position is sustained fully by the report of the
Central of Georgia which shows increased earnings
under the reduced rate.
We have believed from the start that the
railroads would not lose anything by the reduction
in fares The passenger receipts may be some
lighter at first but within years time the receipts
will in all probability be much greater than at the
old and higher rate.

The resolution indorsing the action of the

after which adjournment was taken to this even
Ihg.
The following resolution was offered by Aid.
Hayes.
Whereas the banks of Fitzgerald Clearing
House have issued $50 900 of certificates amply
protected by deposits and securities, sustained by
the combined credit of all the banks in the Associ
alton, and, ...
Whereas. all financial centers in the country
have pursued similar course--it being imperative
at this time to move the crops and supply the
needs of commerce and industries
Therefore be it resolved by the Mayor and
City Council of the city of Fitzgerald that in our
opinion the clearing house certificates are per-
fectly good, and furnish timely addition to the
currency. Weheartly endorse the action of the
blnks and recommend the certificates be accepted
without question, this being the surest and best
way to restore normal conditions.

GEN. RUSSELL A. ALGER DEAD.
He Expires Suddenly at His Home in
WASHINGTON.

Washington, D. General Rus
sell A. Alger, United States Senator
from Michigan, died suddenly at his
residence here.
Senator Russell A. Alger was a SOL
der and very successful business
man as well as statesman. He was
born poor and had to work his way
along while getting an education, but
he afterward made millions out of
the timber lands of Michigan which
he acquired at the close of the Civil
War
Mr.. Alger was born in Medina
County, Ohio, on February 81, 1886,
and he was compelled to begin the
struggle for existence at very early
age. His father died when he was
ten years old, and the lad went to
work on farm to help support his
mother For seven years he worked
about in the fields in summer and in
winter got whatever schooling he
could, with view to becoming a
teacher. At,nineteen he succeeded in
this ambition and secured a district
school in Northern Ohio. While he
was teaching he read law between
times in the Office of Wolcott G Up
sord, of Akron, and after he was adj
mitted to the bar he went into the
Office of Coffinbury & Otis, at C1eve-
land. Six months later he went to
Michigan and began to practice at
Grand Rapids.
