He was thor. oughly informed however, about the meeting by one of the participants. A prominent colonist said that so many assurances of sympathy and
 fers to support have come since the fire that it seemed certain that funds would not be lacking for any sort of enterprise the colony may choose to establish. At least one group of the colonists made homeless by the fire will come out in tents this summer probably upon the Heicon Hall grounds. Possibly large number will live in tents until new house has been erected.

SCIATIC TORTURE
4 Locomotive Engineer Tells How He Was Cured by pr. Williams
 Pink Pills,

Pain that seems almost unbearable is a characteristic of sciatic rheuma. tism. In some cases the pain is knife.like, sharp or shooting. in oth. CTS it is dull and aching. Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treatment and the patient frequently suffers fo. years This was the case with Mr. Herbert E. Spaulding, a locomotive engineer on the Cincinnati, New Or leans & Texas Pacific Railway, waoss home Is at Longview, Texts
 While running an engine some years ago." he says. "I feH 1f and hurt my knee and spine and 1 have always considered this to be the sause of my illness. The sciatica took hold of me from my heel to the back of my head. The pain was the worst ever suffered in my life and my leg and back were twisted out of shape. 1 was under a physicians care for several months and for six months could not get out of bed. l also went to Hot Springs but came back in worse condition than when I went.
 Tt was when l was down in bed that heard of the case of Mir.

IMPROVEMENT
SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED IN THE SOUTH-RAIlWA LEADER SAYS
 LAWS ARE UNFRiENDlY.

Atlanta, Ga, March.-At the recent annual dinner of the Atlanta ChamDer of Commerce President Finley or the Southern Railway, who was one or the principal speakers, devoted ms remarks entirely to the relations pe- tween the railroads on the one hand and the people and the state and ha tiOnal government on the other hanu. Without referring to any special ac ton by Congress or the state leglsla- lures, MT. Finley indicated his bellel that the present trend of legislatures endangers the prosperity of the rail road and of the country alike. MT. t1n- ley said it had always been the desire of the railroads to maintain cordial relations with the people along the1r lines, and the railroads must cult. vate the good wishes and Co-opera- tion of the public by the adoption and promulgation of economically and com mercially sound principles in the con- duct of their business MT. Finley reviewed the progress of the South and said that it's pressing need today is for better and more extensive trans portation facilities. If the railroads are to secure the large amounts of new capital necessary to enable them to meet the rapidly increasing de mands for their services he said, their credit must be such as to insure investors of d reasonable return upon their money The South now has rates that enable Southern producers to market their products in widely separated home and foreign markets on such terms that they can compete successfully with similar products from other localities, but it has not the means of moving their products to market as promptly as is desir- able. Finley thinks that a fuller un derstanding and a just appreciation of the good intentions of the railroad leaders and the general public will make for the progress and advance ment of the whole country A view of prejudice and persecution against the railways by the people will be detrimental to every one.

Loot Promised.

Puerto Cortez. March.-A turn of sinister and widespread significance was given to the Central American War recently by the finding on the persons of captured Nicaraguan sol diers permits promising them the loot of the first city which they can cap ture in both Honduras and Salvador. This at once amounted to a practi- cal declaration of war by Nicaragua against Salvador in that it showed that the Nicaraguan common soldiers are at least being sent to fight what they believe q war of vengeance; and 1t placed Americans in Puerto Cor tez and throughout this republic on the anxious seat because of the fact that American residents or American capital form the principal property holders of the Honduran city. especial ly those which are richest and there fore most liable to loot in case of sue cess of the Nicaraguan arms. Any doubt IS 10 the completeness of such loot is dispelled not only by the wording of the permission. but by the experience had in 1894 by some of the people now living in Puerto Cor tez, who were present at the footing of Choluteca. Honduras Nicaraguan soldiers, aided by about 200 of their women, pillaged every house but one in the town. The worst feature of the footing of Choluteca, which the per mission allows, was the horrible in dignities offered both women and help less people. About 900 ammunition carts at Gholuteea were used to car ry away the loot

HELD TO HIS BARGAIN
Dentists Bluff Called by Young Farm Hand in Remarkable Exhibition
 of Grit and Nerve.

A. II. Smith, the general manager of the New York Central railroad !, said of financicr the other day:
 'It is no wonder the man has succeeded For the sake of money he would do anything. There is a story they tell about his youth.
 "Thcv say that when he was a burly yomg farm hand in pcnnSyl- vania "a back tooth fell 10 aching and he tramped in to WyaiusIng to have it out.
 "Thc dentist pushed him back in the operating chair, stuck a cork between his jaws to keep them open and examined the sore tooth care fully. Then. frowning, shaking his head, he selected his biggest and most substantial pair of forceps.
 els this going to hurt, doctor 2 said the farm hand, looking anx- iously at the tremendous forceps.
 s'The dentist answered with a smile:
 "Wcll, if it don't We won't charge you anything.
 "And he rolled up his sleeve, hooked the forceps on to the tooth, put his foot against the arm of the chair for brace, and-ah, 1t was horrible.
 But all through the horrible or deal the young farm hand neither howlcd nor groancd nor gruntcd. Like an image he sat, Indeed, a kind of smile hickered from time 10 time over his face.
 When the tooth was al iast out the dentist said, eompassionately:
 "1t didn't hurt SO very much, did it?'
 "'Hurt? Why. 1t didn't hurt at all,' said the farm hand.
 "And he took leave without pay ing, holding the dentist to his bar gain"

Simple Explanation for Strange Be

George W. Whitehead, appraiser OF
merchandise at the port of New York,
was visited by young Bermudan the
other day.
The Bermudan knew man who
would reach New York on an Atlantic
liner in few days, and this man, he
claimed, was going to smuggle in
much valuable merchandise.
But, questioned as to his reason for
this suspicion, the Bermudan had
none but ludicrous, impossible ones to
give. 1t seemed that he was either a
crank or an enemy of the incoming
travellers. Mr. Whitehead said:
"The reasons you give are not at all
conclusive. They don't point in the
smallest way to any dishonest inten-
ton in your friends part. To hold
that they did would be to act as fool.
ishly as the Southern cook"
Mr.. Whitehead smiled and went
