A great many men throughout the country, including plenty of really swell fellows, have got it into their heads, rightly or wrongly—and we are by no means sure that it isn't rightly—that there is no reason why any man should pay more than $3.00 to $5.00 for a pair of shoes, and, to say the least, the idea has this foundation in reason, that excellent shoes are now made for $3. To pay $8 to sl2 for a pair of shoes is simply throwing away money, and in many cases this is done to gratify a mistaken notion that none but your favorite shoemaker is worthy to adorn your feet. The recent improvements in shoe machinery make it possible, as shown by the well-known W. 1., Douglas $3 Shoe, to produce a shoe to-day that will compare favorably in style, wearing qualities and comfort with those offered at SO, $8 and $lO per pair.

TO BUILD A NEW CITY. OLD WAR VETERANS GOING TO THE SOUTH. A Grand Army Colony in Georgia Which Promt sen to Be a Big Success — Emigrants Flockins In with a Western Rush. The First Town. A Fitzgerald, Ga., correspondent, writing of the new G. A. R. colony being founded there, says: The men who followed Sherman to the sea are once more “marching through Georgia.” But the people of this State do not look upon the present invasion with such consternation as they did on that of over thirty years ago, for this is one of peace—the invaders have come to live with the invaded. The movement to colonize members of the G. A. R. in the South has made a fine start and already Fitzgerald, the “metropolis” of the colony, has a population of several thousand. Fitzgerald is in Irwin County’ and not five miles distant from the spot where Jefferson Davis was captured. The original plan of this colony was to provide a home in a milder climate for the veterans of the Federal armies. The project started with Philip Fitzgerald, a pension attorney and wealthy property owner of Indianapolis. At least 4,009 veterans have put their money into this co-operative I IF fk 1 ।jß . -■ PEMV—'-C~--'rCTTT-r.-^ FIRST 801 SE IN THE G. A. R. COI.OXY. movement and decided to come South. Those old soldiers and their families make a total of about lti.ooo persons. It was at first intended to defer the opening of the colony until next spring, but the immigrants could not hold back and they are now coming by hundreds and thousands from all over the country north of the Ohio ri 'er, and between the Mississippi river and the Rocky Mountains, fleeing from the rigors of Northern winter. The immigration is a reminder of the rush to the West before the day of railroads. Wagon trains are climbing the mountains and crossing the valleys. Os the 3,000 settlers who have arrived at Fitzgerald in the last thirty days a large proportion came overland by wagon. There are immigrants who drove all the way from the Dakotas, Kansas. Nebraska, and one family was six months on the journey from the State of Washington. These people drove every mile from the far northwestern corner of the country to the extreme southeastern corner. The movement has gone far beyond the Grand Army and thousands of young men and a groat many mon who pioneered in the AVest have joined it. But old soldiers are in the majority. The pension dis-

bursements at the colony will exceed SSO,- | 000 a month. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and I Missouri arc represented by a class ot sturdy young men who have come to farm. They say that the farms in their native States have been cut up so small that their fathers cannot afford to further subdivide. The boys, upon coming of age, have to strike out for themselves. Hitherto they have set their faces toward the land beyond the Mississippi and the Missouri, but they prefer a more genial cli mate. The colony has bought 35.000 acres and has options on 65,000 more. The shareholders in the co-operative company get their land at cost, which, however, includes the outlay for surveying and grad ing the entire tract, city lots .''.ml all. Ex-Gov. 'William J. Northern of Georgia, sold the land to the colony at $3.50 an acre, although some of it cost him a great, deal more. One thousand acres were laid off for a city site. Kike an Oklahoma Town. At present the town site resembles Oklahoma City or Guthrie thirty days I after the public lands were thrown open, j While most of the little pine board shacks । are grouped in one corner of the reserva- I lion, they are found straggling through | the forest for two miles. At night the woods are illuminated by huge bonfires of pine logs around which the settlers assemble to discuss the future of the colony. The tract of land upon which the colony is located is a high, rolling ridge about twenty-five miles wide and 150 miles long, extending through half a dozen counties in Georgia to the gulf coast in I 'Jorida. It is thickly wooded with the long-leaf pine, The turpentine manufacturer has worked some of the forest, but not all of it. The lumberman has not yet made an impression on it. The soil is not of the sandy character so common in south Georgia, but is dark, somewhat resembling the prairie soil, except that this has an iron pebble, which indicates a fine fruit soil. That the land will raise splendid fruit has been shown by the success of some Connecticut men, the Tiffs, and a colony of Pennsylvanians who have settled on the western edge of the ridge. All who were at the colony believe firmly in its future. There are 54,000 men, women and children already in the movement. Every train brings fresh arrivals and the population is growing at the rate of from 50 to 200 a day. Next month a railroad will be completed to the colony, and by spring there will be another. The soil is unquestionably fine and the climate healthful. Artesian wells strike water at a depth of 150 feet. The settlors say when the success of the colony is demonstrated thtre will be a great movement from the Northwest. The three men who floated away from Cleveland on an ice floe in Kake Erie are believed to have been lost.

A delegation from . ] aul was in Chicago to try to argm it out,” and they brought the Cuinmam ‘r-m-chief of the Grand Army of the Re üblic with them, but the Western Passi >ger Association was obdurate and held at for a high rate of fare. So ( ommanc T-m-chief Walker will call a council determine where the next encampniourshall be held. At last encampment, which was held in Louisville, it was voted that the next encampment should be held in St. Paul. A stipulation, however, was made that it should go t ere only in case A satisfactory rate could e obtained from the railroads. The Weste n roads bid for the patronage of the G. / . R. encampment at St. Paul by authoris ng a rate of 1 cent, per mile for the rom d trip, with a seven-day limit. At the sani* time a rate of one fare for the round flip to the Knights of Pythias conclave, t^be held in tl^e same city in August, w|s granted and a thirty day limit authorized. Commander-in-chief Walker and'prominent citizens of St. Paul immediately!took issue over the seven-day limit placed on the G. A. R. excursion tickets, and every effort has been made tQ get the Western Association to reconsider its action and deal as fairly with the G. A. R. as with the Knights of Pythias. With one exception the tickets to all the Grand Arnir of the Republic reunions held duringahe past ten years have been based on a thirty-day limit. The exception was tli^s^mion held in Milwaukee. A simtook I’lace at that time, the NVvsbiT^REs refusing to deal liberally with frM*,lSTans. Only one excuse is put forward by the railroads for the decided staHgn^ken on the question. This is that the'lirty-day limit, if granted, means a compete demoralization of rates in Western territory and a rich harvest for the scalpers. CUBANS IN THE SEA. The FilibiiHtcrinK Steamer J. NV. Hawkins Sinks Off Lour Island. Tlu> steamer J. W. Ha wkins. bound from New A ork to Cuba on a filibustering expedition, was abandoned at sea off Long Islanl Sunday night in a terrific gale, and if the 170 men on board only 113 are seconnted for. Ten are known to have ieen drowned, and it is believed fif-ty-three others met a like fate. The Hawkins was of 125 tons net, and was built at Kennebunk. Me., in 1880. She was for years engaged in the fishing • business, but as she had proved unprofitable she had for a long time lain idle in ■ Baltimore harbor. 'Two weeks ago a man representing himself as a Mr. Tinsley ap- ■ preached the owners with an offer, saying > lie wished to buy the craft for a Mr. Smith of New York. There was no hag- • gling over the price, and it did not take i him long to become the owner of the i steamer. There was an old account of i the crew hanging fire, but he at once paid it. i hen a local ship yard came forward

I with a bill, whkJpWas also paid on the ' spot. Ob^tu/t^^l’tTnctl to melt away before his haste, for when two firms threatened to bring libel suits against the steamer their claims were paid in full as soon as a figure was named. She was at once taken to New York, where a little band of men was gathered in readiness to get on board, their intention being to join the Cuban army and fight in the ranks. In spite of the vigilance of the Spanish emissaries a brass emm n worth $5,<MK>, ammunition that cost $25,006 and 176 men were taken safely on board. Sunday night she sailed from that port, commanded by a Capt. Woodrow. Unfortunately, however, the boat was untit for sea, ami the hasty preparations had allowed no time for a thorough examination of her bottom, for she had proceeded only as far as the eastern end of Long Island when she sprung a dangerous leak and began to settle in the water. In spite of all the ' crew could do the leak gained with fearj ful rapidity, and within twenty minutes j all had to take to the five small boats. MeAulire's Bad Wing. Lightweight champion.
