FROM such meager reports as have
yet been received concerning the ter
ribie fatality among the mountain
GERS of West Virginia and eastern
kentucky, it seems probable that the
mysterious sickness and consequent
loss of life are due to metallic poison
ing. A prolonged drought of several
months duration had dried up the
streams and wells and forced tie
unfortunates to drink such water as is
afforded by the poison springs as
they are locally termed-spings
which well up from deep veins ia the
mountains, strongly impregoated
with the metallic and earthly sails
from the mineral beds t0rougt which
the water filters. Even in ordinary
seasons these "pojson springs are
stunned as aupala,able. but the long
dry season has concentrated Them loa

A LARGER business is done by tele
graph companies in the United States
than in any other country in the
world. Over 40,0O0,0 900 messages
were sent last year Great Britain

total for the world was 5000, 600,
fully one half being in English-speak-
ing countries. Germany has nearly
as many telegraph offices as the Uni
ted States, although so much smaller
in area, and doing less than half the
business. Great Britain, onthe. cor
trary, does . large business with com
paratively few offices. The Cana

than any other country.

When 1t was u half hour later known
Three lives had just been sacrificed
Three shots. three desperate men
Lay stretched upon the floor.

Until his skull bullet crushed
And he sank, dying. to the floor.

And since the past has lled,

In honor of the dead.
Joe Foster, King Fisher and Jack Harris
Were known TO all as brave men,
And four noble lives were sacrificed
BY the reoklessness of poor, foolish Ben.
And now they stand before their God,
And let us hope and pray,
