EXPECT TRAIN HERE SHORTLY.
Many Looking for Its Coming With
Much Interest.
The coming of the paytrain of the
Seaboard is a subject of a great deal of
interest to several hundred people in
Americus, and especially to the hun
dreds of employes of the company here.
It was stated, unofficially, however,
that the pay train for this division was
in Jacksonville yesterday, in which
event it should arrive here within two
or three days or certainly during the
week. Before the consolidation the
15th of each month was payday, but the
date has been changed and as this is
the first time for paying off, under the
new regime, employes do not know just
exactly when the ghost will walk.
Something like $25,000 or $30,000 will
be paid out in Americus, hence the
great interest felt not only among em
ployes of the company but among mer
chants and those in other lines of busi
ness as well. The railroad shops, with
the several hundred employes there, is
certainly an institution of the town.

“I had a sever attack of bilious colic,

“My neighbor across the street was sick
for over a week, had two or three bot

used them for three or four days with
out relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and gave
him no relief, so discharged him, I
went over to see him the next morning.
He said his bowels were in a terrible
fix, that they had been running off so
long that it was almost bloody flux. 1
asked him if he had tried Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and he said, ‘No.’ I went home and
brought him my bottle and gave him
one dose; told him to take another dose
in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did
not find relief, but he took no more and
was entirely cured. For sale by Dod

COUNCIL SOLVES THE PROBLEM
And Complaint as to Ditch is Ordered
Abated.
After weeks spent in earnest discus
sion, relative to the open ditch on
Jackson street, which has been de
clared a nuisance, the city council last
night settled the matter in two minutes.
This was by the adoption of a reso
lution requiring the city marshal to
cut down all undergroth above the
ditch, fill up holes in the bottom where
water collected, remove any other ob
jectionable objects, and charge up the
bill of expenses—possibly ss—to peo
ple owning property alongside.
It was just as easy, and all probably
wondered why this happy idea had
not suggested itself before.
After due felicitation upon the final
disposition of the momentous ditch
problem, the solons soared higher,
even to the top of the water tower,
which they decided needed repainting.
A winter coat of bright Geronimo red
will take the place of the Aguinaldo
brown which now ornaments the
iron tower.
Then council proceeded to get after
the Muckalee gondoliers.
These are boatmen who anchored
their swift gliding feluccas beneath the
long bridge near Magnolia dell while
angling for mudcats and pollywogs.
It was argued that the moving boats
greatly disturbed the serenity of the
rural mule driven that way, and that
serious runaway accidents had narrow
ly been averted. Rear Admiral Bill
Feagin will dispose of the gondoliers or
scuttle the piratical craft if necessary.
Furlow & Jones were authorized to
post show pictures under license of

FIENDISH CRIME OF
A MINNESOTA FARMER
He Murders His Wife and
Two Step Children.
BOY FATALLY WOUNDED
After Doing This Bloody Work He Set
the Premises on Fire—Stable De
stroyed and Nine Horses Cremated.
Other Killings and Accidents.
Arlington, Minn., Aug. 20. Last
night between 10 and 11 o’clock Theo
dore Wallert, a farmer living 3 miles
from town, killed his wife and two of
his stepchildren, a girl of 16 and a baby,
and seriously wounded his 19-year-old
stepson. He then set fire to his barns,
destroying the stable with nine horses,
a corn crib and a full hay barn.
Three years ago Wallert married the
widow Starbbors and for some little
time they have been having trouble.
The wife had recently been trying to
secure a divorce and had taken means
to prevent Wallert from coming to the
farm. Yesterday morning after prac
ticing in the woods with a revolver he
returned to the house and entered by one
of the windows. His wife was evidently
alarmed by the noise and she was killed
as she was leaving the bed. The baby
was found dead on the lounge, and the
girl on the floor of her bedroom. A
second boy was seriously wounded and
has been brought to town. It is feared
he may die.
