people on all sides drew back as the
assassins dashed away from the car
riage brandishing their weapons. They
cleared the way before them, but pOr-
ton of the crowd followed the soldiers
in pursuit and succeeded in capturing
three of the men who had escaped the
bullets. Meanwhile an unhappy scene
was in progress at the royal carriage,
where King Carlos lay already dead,
the crown prince unconscious and
breathing his last, and the infant Man
uel with blood streaming from his
mouth. leaning over the slain father and
his dying brother. The queen, who
had miraculously escaped unwounded
from the veritable rain of bullets, was
kneeling beside her husband and son.
The excitement in the vicinity of the
tragedy threatened to become serious,
and the soldiers quickly SURROUNDED the
carriage. which was driven. to the ma
rine arsenal near by.

did everything possible to save their
lives. But his efforts were without
avail. for the king was dead and the
prince expired within a~feW moments.
Francisco Figuerira, an orderly who
was walking near the royal carriage at
the time of the outrage, drew his re-
volver and killed one of the regicides,
and the police sprang at the others.
They turned and fed rapidly, the police
pursuing them and killing one of them
near the town hall. Both the bodies
were carried into the town hall, but
have not yet been identified. 1t is be-
lieved. however, that one of the men
is a Spaniard and the other a French
man. The weapons that they used
were repeating carbines of five cham

The ministers of state held a coun-
ell and ordered the most rigorous pre-
cautions throughout the city. On the
surface the city tonight appeared to
be calm, the silence that prevailed be-
ing remarkable and there was hardly a
sign of life. The square surrounding
the naval arsenal, however, the town
hall and the Bank of Portugal are oc-
cupied by troops.

Americus gas plant pays the owners
or not If they cannot manage it
and make money out of it is no reas-
on why the people of Americus should
pay more for gas than the people of
other cities similarly situated. That
is my position l cannot see how that
enters into the matter at all If
towns of our size, getting supplies as
cheaply as we do, have gas sold to
them much cheaper than we do, then
we ought to get the same priced gas,
no matter whether the owners of the
plant make or lose money. Some
farmers make money on 10 cent cot
ton, some others may lose.
1t is believed the committee will
visit the plant at an early date and
look over the reports that will be
submitted to them Mr. Allen wanted
the city to hire an auditor to make a
report on the plant and the financial
results of its operation but nothing of
this kind will be done.

TO INSPECT PLANT
AND ITS FINANCES
Alderman Allen Willing to
60 Ahead With Work.

"When are you going down to audit
the books of the gas plant and inspect
the plant?" was asked of Alderman
Lee Allen yesterday
Alderman Allen is one of the Com
mittee on City Lights, composed of
Aldermen Furlow, Childers and Allen,
which was appointed by Mayor Haw-
kins at a recent meeting of Council to
accept the invitation of the gas com
pany and examine it's accounts.
The appointment of the committee,
it will be recalled, was the result OF
the appeal of citizens to Council to
have the rate per 1000 feet for gas
lowered. Council adopted a resolu-
ton ordering a reduction in the price
of gas from $500 to $3.50 for illumi-
mating purposes. The company
promptly asserted that it is not max
ing exorbitant profits and invited
Council to investigate itself and see
that such was the case.~
I'VE are waiting on Alderman Fur

tee said Mr.. Allen. while at first

the plant is not properly handled OF

CITY IN BETTER
POSITION THAN EVER
SO Says Col. DOdSOn ReIa-
tive to $4,000 Bond.

Inside of thirty days things viii
be moving in manner that will be
entirely satisfactory to the citizens
of Americus" said Col w. A. Dodson
yesterday in referring to the action
of Council on the previous night.
The City is now in better position
than it has ever been, or will be, at
least, when the resolution adopt.
ed and the $4,000 bond given" con-
tinued he AS a matter of fact if We
had complied with the conditions Of
the Allen resolution, and given the
City the $4,000 certified check the City
would have absolutely had no guar
antee, no protection. A certified
check, given to comply with the Allen
resolution, wouldn't have been worth
any more than scrap paper so far as
its collection was concerned We
knew that, the City Attorney knew it,
and we had no desire to put up such
a worthless assurance as that
AS it is now the city will get a
first class penal bond, complying with
the contract, under which it will be
in position to collect exact damages
for every days delay beyond a certain
period. 1t will then occupy a position
it has not yet held so far as damages
go.
But" continued Ma Dodson, 1--WE
do not expect to pay the city any
damages, we do not expect to be put
in a position where we will be called
upon to pay damages. We intend to
push everything just as fast as possi-
Bile. We are playing straight with the
people and with the city government.
The endeavors to create contrary
impression are without foundation
and really not only do us an injustice,
but are calculated to injure Americus
This is not the only enterprise our
people will seek and we do not want
to allow the impression to get abroad
that there is any element here that
seeks to pull don, to hinder the efforts
of those who seek to build up the
city | any my associates are build
ers, note tearers down, and We eX-
pect to give Americus a boost such as
it has not enjoyed in years through
the new lighting and power plant and
the electric street railway"
At the meeting of Council tonight
the matter will again be taken up. The
bond that the City Attorney is to
prepare will then be submitted. 1t
will no doubt be very closely scruti-
nized and it may be that some of the
aldermen will want " amended to
suit their views. However, it is gen
orally believed that final adjustment
of the matter will be reached to-
night, the bond signed up, and the
company put in a position where it
must either make good or forfeit
800 day after a certain period if
the railroad is not completed and in
operation.

Closing Missionary Service

The rainy weather last night un
fortunately lessened the attendance at
what proved one of the most enter
tanning addresses that has ever been
delivered in Americus on missionary
work Rev. W. B. Harrison, a mis-
sionary in the Corean field, gave an
exceedingly entertaining talk on that
country, it's climate, its people, their
religious views and habits, their modes
of life, and the work that is being
done to bring them to Christ. Bud
dhism, once strong among them, has
lost its controlling influence, and
few except old women have any at
tachment to it. A species Of spirit
wopship is the prevailing religion
among the Coreans, and even after
they have recognized and accepted the
truths of Christianity the fear of
the spirits that are supposed to fill
the air about them is manifest. The
vast majority pass their lives in a
state of bondage to these spirits, who
have. to be consulted. on all occa-
sions, conciliated, and otherwise treat
ed as entering into and influencing
everyone of the interests Of life.

of the country between the Methodist
and Presbyterian missionaries, in

'ests. of the establishment Of the Pres

The Christian Sabbath

Az lue Il q CIOCh SGINICe G6N. n. L.
Douglass, of the First church. of Ma
aon, preached on The Christian Sab
bath, by request of the Presbytery,
taking the commandment requiring
the keeping of the Sabbath day holy
as his text.
Ii there are any themes that chal-
lenge the attention of the people of
today the claim of the Sabbath is in
the forefront among them, said the
speaker Among the claims Gods
commandments have upon the hearts
and conscfences of Gods people the
claims of the Sabbath are pre-eminent.
To casual observers it appears that the
enemies of the Sabbath are increasing
in number, and becoming bolder in
their endeavors to break down its
observance as a day set apa"+ by
God. BY ridicule, casuistry, sophistry
and blatant blasphemy they are wag-
ing ceaseless war against it, deny
ing it's authority and ridiculing its
claims upon mankind. Not only do
this class fail to observe or recognize
the sanctity of Sabbath themselves
but they have a baleful influence
over large numbers of Gods people
who are unwilling to stand boldly face
to face with conditions as they exist
are weak kneed and puerile in their
defeLoa of the day, and do not them
selves hold to it's teachings and prac-
tices or attempt to hold the world to
the traditional observance of the, day
that has come down from their faith
ers, a most glorious heritage to those
in the Faith.

To Check Current Tendencies

The condhons that brought about
the establishment of the Christi1n
Sabbath, tie first instead of the last
day of the week, were clearly eX-
planned at some length The address
was an exceedingly able and clear
exposition OF the whole question and
was followed with the closest interest
throughout by all present.
The current tendency throughout
the country TO ignore the religious side
of tie Sabbath. to simply comply,
in whcie or in part, with the legal
requirements for the day, is attract
ing more and more attention and
there is more or less of a concerted
movement in all churches to awaken
their people to realization Of this
trend of events and bring their united
influence to stem the tide that is
carrying the country farther and far
ther from the old observance of the
Sabbath as a day divinely set apart for
rest and worship

Binding on All Mankind

Mr. Douglass did not consider the
day from the standpoint of history; or
hygiene, or economy, but confined
himself to the discussion of it from the
view point of Gods word, as day
designedly set apart for specific pur-
poses by God himself and made. bind
ing upon mankind through all the
ages. The question for each Christian,
and for all Christians, to ask, he de-
clared, is do we hallow the Sabbath
of Gods church," In some matters
the church leaves it to the individual
conscience to determine what his
course shall be, as with regard to
certain amusements and pleasures
But the question of Sabbath obser-
vance is not one of these. There is
no personal freedom as to the recog-
milton of the great fundamental prin-
ciple involved in it. 1t is not for the
Christian individual to say that he
will act as his personal conscience
dictates in the matter It is either a
holy day to him, made such by divine
commandment, or it is holiday. II
the church interprets the binding force
of this commandment upon its people
loosely it must retrograde in spiritual
power. If it holds to rigid adher-
ence to this commandment of God
the church will grow in grace and
strength and greatness. federation on
the part of any Church of sentiment
that undermines public recognition of
the divine nature of the Sabbath must
ultimately weaken the power of the
church and be destructive to the
whole structure of the Christian
faith Mr.. Douglass pointed out the
