Seattle, Wash, May 24.-The city of
Seattle, sitting on her seven fir-clothed
hills on the shores of Puget sound,
capitulated Sunday to the fleet of
battleships under command of Rear
Admiral Charles Sperry. The gates of
the city were thrown open wide and
Admiral Sperry was given the key,
made of Alaskan gold. AS the fleet
came into sight around Point No Point,
it was caught sight of by half a mil
lion people. The city's normal popula-
ton of 100000 was augmented by an
equal number who came from the dis
tant states of Montana, Idaho and Ore
gon and from across the Canadian Dor

tacle.

Port Angeles came the Louisiana, Vir-
ginia and Ohio. Out of the harbor of
Port Townsend steamed the Illinois
and the Kearsarge. Forming in single
line, the reassembled fleet began the
advance on Seattle in procession. AS
the flagship arrived off West point, it
was met by a fiotilla of excursion
boats, which turned and followed in its
wake as it rounded the forested points
of jutting land under the lee of the
snow-capped Olympic range along the
channel into which in days primeval
the wooden paddle of the Indians war
canoe was dipped.
The feet will remain in the harbor
till the morning of May 81.

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1908-01-01

Dawson merchants, along with
all others who have suffered from un-
fair mail order competition, will read
with interest that Sears, Roebuck &
Co., the great Chicago mail order
house, must stand trial in the federal
court at Des Moines, according to
the Leader of that city on the charge
of using the United States mails to
defraud. An indictment containing
three counts was returned against
the firm by the federal grand jury.
The penalty upon conviction will be
fine of $500 on each count.
The indictment is based on three
cases in which it is alleged the com
pany misrepresented articles listed
for sale in its catalogues, which were
sent out through the mails. Besides
the catalogues it is claimed that the
concern used letters, circulars, PAM
phlets. order blanks and letter heads
to deceive and defraud its customers.
The first count charges that on
June IS the company devised a
scheme to obtain money by false pre-
lenses from DR.. C. F. Spring, 29l
Utica building, Des Moines. On that
date a letter was mailed to him in
which the following statements were
made:
"All our paints contain white lead
made in our great paint factory I'M
der the supervision of the finest paint
experts. They have given universal
satisfaction and we are able to place
over them our most liberal guaran-

with"

WeH-Known Newspaper Mans Mat
lfmonial Programme Was Rudely
Interrupted at Leesburg.

Colonel B. w. Adkins, the we'll
known newspaper man, and a former
resident of Dawson and Terrell coun-
ty, but now employed in the office
of the Lee County Journal at Lees
burg. was shot Christmas afternoon
while attempting to elope with Miss
Mona Morgan, daughter of James
Morgan.
The report is that Adkins was shot
by J. w. Morgan, a brother of the
young lady.
1t is stated that the young couple
made arrangements to elope, and Ad-
kins drove up to the Morgan home
in a buggy at the appointed time
Christmas afternoon. AS he drove
up his intended bride called out to
him in warning He started to drive
away in response to her urgent en-
treaties, when a loud report was
heard and he received load of shot
from a shotgun in his face and
shoulders.
Though badly injured Adkins
pulled a rifle from the bottom of the
buggy and returned the fire. His
aim was not true, however, and the
rife ball did no damage.
Adkins injuries, while very pain
full and quite serious, are not fatal.
His tongue was badly lacerated by
the load of shot, which took effect in
his face and shoulders.
Adkins, in talking Of the affair
some time after he was shot, stated
that he was in the public road when
shot, and had not entered upon the

RICH WOMEN MERE S PENDERS
ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTE PITIES
mwHER NEW YORK COUSINS.
Says They Are All Money and Clothes
and Steep Themselves in the
DEGRADATION of LUXURY.

Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson the noted
English suffragette, pttyingly ar
raigns the rich women of New York,
She is not the sort of person who
speaks without thought, either. She
has been in America since Oct. 25,
and has studied Americans in their
drawing-rooms, in their counting
houses, in their state houses and in
their charities.
''The New York woman has too
much money to spend" Mrs. Golden
Sanderson says. with these enor-
nous fortunes at her command she
sleeps herself in the degradation of
luxury. She adorns her person UNI
til | often am minded of Turkish
harem. She measures all humanity
by its clothes, as her husband meas
ures all of his fellowmen by their
wealth and their ability to acquire
more wealth She measures the
value of a movement by the women
who lead it, and these women by the
fairness of their raiment. She has
no time to think of the vital ques-
lions of the shour, no civic pride, be-
cause she is too busy adjoining her
person and sleeping herself in luxury
which deadens the soul to know
what really is going on in the great
pulsing world of the under dog
the stratum of humanity beneath her
own
'In England the women of aristo-
racy are not always women of wealth.
In New York the woman without
wealth-and clothes-appears to be
a mere nonenity, without power and
influence.
I'm England you find men spend
ing their wealth in keeping UP family
estates, rather than decking the per-
sons of their women folk. In Ameri-
ca, and particularly New York, men
give their undivided attention to
making money and trust their wives
to hold up the educational, intellect
ual and sartorial end The English
man takes pride in what his wife
does for his country, the New York
man in the appearance she makes on
his money. 1t is money that is sap
ping the minds and bodies of New
York's so-called aristocracy today.

ment sets out, Sears, Roebuck & Co.
did not manufacture paint in their
own factory. Their paint was not of
the highest grade, and was not equal
to any ready mixed paint on the mar
ket, regardless of price, as advertised
in their catalogue. Furthermore the
paint did not contain white lead, so
the Indictment charges.
r. H. Miles, rural route No. l.,
Des Moines, is the victim named in
the other counts of the indictment.
On May 25 Mr. Miles ordered ring
advertised in Sears, Roebuck C Co.'S.
catalogue to contain four pearls and
four sapphires. The ring that he re-
ceived did not contain either pearls
or sapphires, and was materially in
ferior in quality to the ones described
in the catalogue.
On May Mr.. Miles ordered an
other ring advertised to contain
twelve pearls and two rubies. The
rings he received contained neither
pearls nor rubies. Both catalogues
and the rings were sent through the
mails, making the alleged misrepre-
sentation a violation of the federal
statutes regarding the use of the
mails.
w. ]. Pilkington, editor of the
Iowa TRACE Journal worked up the
case against the Chicago firm. He
secured the evidence and presented
the case to the grand jury. Mr.. Pill
kinton has been conducting a crusade
against the mail order houses in the
columns of his paper in behalf of the
retail merchants, and the indictment
is the result of his work.

ance Agents Are RAISED. Even
the Soda Fount Doesn't Escape.
Under the new tax laws, which go
into effect today, Jan. /, there are
many new branches of business that
are liable, and the majority of these
are in the insurance line, where here
tofore there have been no state and
county taxs required.
Besides the new taxes, increases
have been made in several instances.
Most of these go for educational pur-
poses, as did the whisky revenue,
which has been abolished by state
prohibition, the idea in levying new
taxes being to offset the missing rev.
enue.
Cigarette dealers and those who
give away cigarette papers will have
to pay $25 instead of the old tax of
$40. 1t is apprehended that this in
creased tax will have tendency to
greatly reduce the number of places
where cigarettes can be purchased,

or firms and insurance brokers or
firms will be required to pay $40 for
each company represented.
Matrimonial or nuptial agencies
will be forced to pay 500 year to
the state for their existence.
Travelling and special agents of
life, fire and accident companies must
pay $50 for each agent before they
can be authorized to act.
The soda fountains do not escape
the new tax laws. Five dollars will
be levied on each draft arm and 9TH
er devices used in drawing carbo-
mated water, making it goodly
amount on large fountains. None of
these have been taxed in the past.
Increases will be made in the
taxes on pawnbrokers, cigarette deal
ers, auto dealers and pool and bill
lard parlors. While heretofore pawn
brokers were assessed 500 in 1908
they will have to pay $500, doub-
ling of the sum.
The tax on auto dealers has been
raised from $50 to 800, and pool
and billiard parlors which have paid
1925 for each table will now be called
on for $40 a table.

1t is surprising to what lengths
man will go when he gets the drink
habit and finds it difficult to get the
usual kinds of spirits.
In Dublin the druggists have al
ways had a good run on certain bit
tiers which, while notwithstanding if
taken in ordinary doses, yet produce
a kind of exhilaration if taken in
large quantities. The prohibition
laws have not prevented certain pat
emit medicine manufacturers from
selling remedies which contain
small proportion of alcohol.
The alcohol tends to preserve the
medicine, and in many instances
doubtless is beneficial to those who
use the remedy. 1t is only when the
manufacturers, too anxious to build
ND big trade, put such percent
age of alcohol into their remedies
that a genuine Jag" may be had II
enough be drunk, that prohibition
communities put a ban upon such
remedies.
Remedies intended to cure rheu-
matism. sore throat and colds and
to have a beneficial effect upon the
liver and kidneys and perhaps all the
other organs of the body have been
nsed in Dublin by those who could
not get the usual beverage.
