GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Both Houses Will Get Down to Busi
ness This Week.
Atlanta, Nov. 4. Now tfcat the
standing committees of tooth, house
and senate have been appointed and
organized, the legislature- will get
down to business this week. Some
thin;; like 200 bilte and resolutions
have already been introduced in the
Louse and referred to appropriate com- j
mittees, which will have about allj
they can do this week getting these
measures in shape and reporting them
back for a second reading, or, If the
report is adverse, f6r such action as
the house may see fit to take.
One-half the measures introduced
o far are purely local; perhaps even
more of them apply only to particular
sections or communities of the state.
All of these except where there may
he a local factional fight will be re
portcd back favorably and passed with
out discussion.
Many of the general bills introduced
will have hard fishtine for life, while
ethers will die from adverse report.
The legislature has given pretty fair
Indication of its oomposition; it is con
servative throughout, and it is evi
dent that radical legislation will have
a hard time fighting its way to the
statute books.
So far no really new general legis
lation has been proposed in either
uuu&e. rracticany every general dui
of any consequence introduced so far
is a counterpart of or similar to some
measure that was before the legisla
ture last year or the year before. The
same amendments to the constitution
that were proposed last year and which
"were thoroughly discussed before a

MURDERS NEAR SAVANNAH.
Dead Bodies of Old White Man and
Negro Discovered.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 4. G-ugie Bour
quin, 65 years old, and "a negro man
were murdered some time yesterday
near the place Oi the former, about 6
miles from the city.

derers. The' motive of the crime is not
known. From time to time Mr. Bour
quin has had trouble with pot hunt
ers who have sought to ehoot the
game that is to be found In abundance

that the killing may have grown out
of some such trouble. Behind the
buggy was found a doublebarreled
shotgun, with tti percussion caps
missing, though the gun was loaded.

NOVEMBER M'CLURES
The November McClure's, which ap
pears with a permanent addition of six
teen pages of reading matter, is a strik
ing and memorable number. Undoubt
edly the' most important magazine ar
ticle of the month is the first instalment
of Ida M. Tarbell's long announced
announced History of the Standard
Oil Company," which it is safe to
wfagier will be the most widely-read se
rial of the year. Tn the "Birth of an
Industry" Miss Tarbell outlines what
had been accomplished in the oil regions'
before the Standard Oil was born. It
is a story that finds Its parallel only In
the history of the discovery of gold in
California. It is better reading than a
novel. Following Miss Tarbell comes a
tale by Conan Doyle, seductively .baited
with the title "The Leather Funnel,"
and with gorgeous illustrations by A.
Castaigne.
There is no need for picking and
choosing among the stories; every one
is first class. There is a fire depart
ment story, "A Change of Profession,"
by Lewis E. Macbrayne; a story by

Land Office.
r NCR EASE OVER PREVIOUS YEAR.
Public Lands Disposed of by the Gov
ernment During the Year Aggregated
19,488,535 Acres 1,000,000 Acres
Were Sold for CasTi.
Washington, isov. 4. The annual re
port of Binger Herman, commissioner
of the general land office, shows that
the public lands disposed of by the
government during the year aggregat
ed 19,488,535 acres, an increase of
3,925,738 acres over the previous year.
Of the aggregate 1,757,793 acres wo?e
sold for cash; 17,614,792 acres were
embraced in miscellaneous entries, ana
the remainder was Indian lands.
On Oct. 1 last there were 54 forest
reserves, embracing 60,175,765 acres,
an increase of almost 14,000,000 acres
since the last report. During the
fiscal year there were 1,663, forest fires
discovered which burned over 87,799
acres. The constantly decreasing area
burned over was 67,799 acres.
The commissioner said the proper
policing of the forest land during the
year has shown the following result:
"1. The work has proven self-sup
porting.
z. it has In addition brought m a
revenue to the government.
"3. Needed timber supplies have
been placed within lawful reach of the
public.
"4. Timber depredations with the
reserve limits have practically ceased
Concerning re-forestation, the report
saye:
"Assuming that the re-forestation of
the denuded areas in the forest 'e-
serves where sufficient moisture pre
vails to make the germination of seeds
of the native trees possible might bc-
erpected to result in good time, if the
recurrence of the devastating fires
could be reduced to a m inimum, and
proper limits and reduced to a safe
basis. The forest force has been re
quired to make extra exertion to pre
vent damage by fire and to keep the
office fully informed relative to the
effects of stock grazing and to keep
out stock not licensed to enter the
reserves, and all the evidences point
to almost unvarying success."
ROBBED INDIAN OF $22,000.
Disguised as Squaws White Men Make
Big Haul.
Missoula, Mont., Nov. 4. iA wealthy
Flathead Indian named Matchell has
been robbed of $22,000 in cash, the
money consisting of $100 bills and $20
gold pieces.
Matchell visited the town of Plains
and during his absence at night a man
dressed as a squaw visited his home
on Gamas Prairie and engaged in con
versation with Matchell's squaw. Mrs
Matchell noticed, that the visitor was
not an Indian squaw, but a white man,
and her suspicions were aroused when
she saw two men run from an outbuild
ing where the wealth had been stored,
carrying something with them.
The robbers jumped on their horses
which were nearby, the man that had
been talking to the squaw joined them.
and the three hurried away, leaving
n clew.
Matchell is the wealthiest full-blood
Indian on the reservation. He has
large herds of cattle and horses and
was always known to have money,
which he kept in an old trunk in an
outbuilding.

drones, three miles from Bacolod. Mr.
Montgomery was going to Bacolod for
a consultation with the acting superin
tendent and. to assume control of the
division. He had a large sum of
money with him.
Six natives, armed with bolos and
spears attached him', quickly killed
