HE STOLE A COAT.
Ike Kendall, Recently Become a
Bridegroom, Gets Into
Trouble.

When the icy wind gets to whist
ling through mans whiskers and the
mercury is monkeying around zero, d
man generally feels the need of an
overcOat, and if he is lacking one and
is not phenomenally scrupulous, he
will entertain a tendency to appro
pirate his neighbors, provided there
is no other way to secure one.
This was likely the case with Ike
Kendall, well known Sedalian, who
was arrested about six o'clock last
evening, charged with stealing an
overcoat from Janitor q. +. Lyon, of
the Sicher Hotel.
Friday night at 8 o'clock Lyons
coat was hanging in the hotel wash
room. A few minutes afterward il
had mysteriously disappeared and sus-
picion at once fell upon Ike Kendall,
who had been there about that time
The police were notified and Swallowed
the suspected man but they did mol
succeed in arresting him until at the
time stated, when he was found loiter-
ing around the union depot. They
caught him with the coat in his posses
sion..and the prisoner was taken before
Justice Fisher. by whom he was COM
United to the county Jail to await a
preliminary trial.
Kendall has lived in Sedalia several
years, during which time he engaged
in tending bar at various saloons.
Up to six weeks ago he had been fol
lowing this occupation in Lebanon,
No., and only about month ago he
married a dashing widow with fam
ily Of her own. Kendall declared upon
this occasion that he had started on,
10 life anew and that his wife was the
prettiest woman in the land.
The stolen property, when new cost
s28, and its owner at the presen,
time values it at SIS.
1t is thought by quite a number OF
people, who have long known Ken
dali, that he is touched in the head
and that he is really not responsible
for an action like this.

OUT OF PRISON.
George Cannon, a Former Sc
dalan and Forger, Re-
leased From the
Penitentiary.

\ passenger alighted at the Union
depot from the Ais train yesterday
afternoon, who attracted immediate
attention and who had crowd soon
congregated about him. He was thin
and pale and shivering and his garb
denoted only too plainly that he was
an ex-convict. He wore cheap gray
ish suit, which cost the state probably
less than IS, and his rough brogan
shoes were brand new.
The fresh arrival proved to he Geo.
Cannon, a former Sedalian who was
convicted Of a small forgery in this
city and sent to the peni,entiary for
five years some time in 1889. He
had been released only a few hours
before ON the three-fourths rule, had
been given a shoddy new suit Of
clothes and passage home by the state,
and in accordance with the rules OF
the prison, had left the capital within
limited time. He took the first
train for Sedalia and reached here as
previously stated.
Quite number of his acquaint
ances recognized him as he stepped
from the cars, and of course gave him
greeting more ont If curiosity than
from any feeling of admiration III
friendship. Cannon seemed glad IL
breathe the icy air Of liberty once
more and also appeared to enjoy the
informal reception rendered him.
He answered many questions ans
chatted about his experiences behind
the States stone walls. Then
limping with a cane-for he has d
crippled foot-he wandered around s
short time, aimlessly and in dzae'
kind of way, finally disappearing from
! the gaze and out of the hearing of the
crowd On the platform.
Poor. wretched creature! Turnet
ont into the friendless world, from
prison walls. his life blasted, his wife
divorced from him and again married
and he without cent of money or 4
friend. 1t seems almost reasonable Il
assert that imprisonment for life
time would be preferable TO such sor
of freedom.

SHE MADE HER MARK.
A BIushing Young Bride-Elect
Unable to Write Her
Name.

Deputy Recorder Sam Rose had
an experience yesterday afternoon
which he will doubtless remember al
least Gil next Christmas, and the first
of the kind which has ever occurred in
the office daily Illuminated by his gen
ial countenance.
About four o'clock p. m. a well
dressed young couple entered the door
and timidly approached the little
window through whose narrow portal
hundreds of papers have been passed
which made hearts happy for the time
being, if for no longer.
The young man was tall, brawny
and Drowned by country life. He
looked as though he might face can
non, but his courage was evidently
wavering just at that critical mo-
ment.
The girl-for she seemed hardly
mOre-was Drawer than her escort,
and seemed not TO falter in the least.
Roses praeticed eye devined at a
single glance the mission of his visitors
and his conjectures were found to be
correct when he was asked to make
out marriage license.
He lost no time in attending to that
pleasant duty and promptly handed
the official blank to the young man
for his signature. This was written
rather awkwardly and nervously, and
then the official document was passed
to the petite maiden for her sigma
ture. To the amazement Of the deputy
and a BAzoO representative, who hap
pened to be present, she hesitated, falt-
cred and refused to take the pro6ered
pen. 1t seemed a clear case that che
meant to break the betrothal right
then and there.
The abashed recorder and prospec-
tive groom insisted that she should
sign the document, but she
still blushingly refused and held
back.
After terrible suspense and embar-
rassment she declared that she could
not write. Her pretty, bright eyes
dropped in shame and the roses that
had redeemed her dimpled cheeks,
F.. grew pale.
Then it was that she consented to
make her mark and as the astonished
deputy and she held the penholder,
| the mystic cross was drawn across the
paper and both breathed sigh Of re-
lief. A gentleman standing near was
summoned as a witness and added his
signature to the official sheet.
1t NAV be that both are as happy
as though she had written her name
( in faultlees characters with diamond
pointed pen, but it seemed strange ID

ligent young Missouri girl. in this day

Hon. Geo. ID. Wise May Enter the Race Tor
the United States Senat"rShip.

Hon. Geo. ID w ISc M! tI"iCi ca" ''''NN w.
the United States Senatorship.
RICHMOND, March 2l.-lt is prob
bablc that Hon. George d. Wise,
representative from this district, will
enter the race fer the United States
scnatorship. Mr. Wisc'S friends
think that he would make an cxccp-
tionallv strong candidate. He has
not vet consented to allow his name
in this connection.
Mr.. Wise, though, believes that
this section of the State is entitled to
the senatorship. If the representa-
tive from this district enters the field
it will add to the complications and
increase the doubtfullncss Of the re-
suit of the contest. Mr. Wise is quite
strong in this portion of the common
wealth, and if he completes Tor the
prize would divide the strength OF
Gen. FitZ Lee, Thomas Martin, Gen
eral Horton and the other candidates
whose names have already been an
nounccd in connection with the seat
in the senate.
General Lee is extremely popular
in this city, and if Mr.. Wise is kept
out of the contest would easily secure
the Richmond delegation in the two
branches of the legislature. If Mr..
Wise runs the result is quite sure to
be different, and with the chances OF
that gentlemen's making great in
roads upon the strength of the other
candidates, not only here. but through
out the metropolitan district as well
as in other portions of of the State.
Colonel O'Ferrall is expected here
one day this week to have confer
ence with his friends as to the man
agement of his candidacy for the
gubernatorial nomination.

UP AND DOWN.

The general feelings of the people
of Big Stone Gap, for some time past,
have been bobbing up andd down, like
the float on fish-linc on rough
waters, sometimes up and sometimes
down. now aud then being "yanke'l'
entirely under the murky waters OF
despontlcncy by a lurking mud
sucker; but time after time they
have scrcncy bobbcd to the TOP, and
to-day they are as hopeful and con-
f,lent as ever.
As the Posr has repeatedly said,
there is naught to discourage the
people, outside of the heretofore slow
progress of development made by the
great companies interested here.
So soon as these companies get the
differences settled that are now hold
ing them back, work will he COM
menced, and Big Stone Gap will
experience a tide of prosperity and
advancement never before witnessed
in the south. The backbone of
booinx (an,l most of the boomcrs) is
elfectnaIly broken i'll this country.
and there will be no more crazy
speculation in ''cow pastures and
pinev woods. The occupation of
the blueprint man. like that OF
Othello, is gone, and he must in iu-
ture eat bread by the sweat of his
brow or 'sget off the perch"
This is a great country in many
Observation-Disclosures possessing the
finest combination of: favorable condi-
tons 10 he found in almost any other
section under the sun.
For health, climate and pure wa
= ter it is unexcelled. It's agricultural
and stock-raising advantages are
favorable in every respect; while its
mineral and timber interests far ex-
coed that of any other section in The
United States. OF all these advant-
ages and inexhaustable stores Of
natural wealth, Big Stone Gapis the
center, and viii naturally reap har-
vest from them as they are more fully
brought INTO use and developed, not
enjoyed by any other town or city in
the entire south.
Now is the time to get into a po-
sition toshare in these great benefits
that are soon to fall into the hands
ofthe people of Big Stone Gap.
If you think of establishing a
featuring business Of any kind,
small or large, don't let the adj
. avantges and favorable location of
Big Stone Gap pass you by, Ifyou
want a healthy and pleasant home,
locate here. If you intend to en-
bark in any line Of business, rcmem-
Der that the Big Stone Gap Of to-.
day Will be quite a different place a
few years hence, wien il is sur
rounded on oil sides by thousands of
busy Iaborers. and numerous indus
tries are being operated within its
limits,
