felt a strange sensation on the top Of

How the Prosperous Little Town Got
Its Queer Name.
From the Macon Telegraph,

FROM the macon Telegraph.
Mr.. J. R. Shepard, a prominent citizen
of Nameless, Laurens county, Georgia,
was in the city yesterday on business. and
while here told Telegraph reporter how
his town got its queer name.
After the postoffice authorities at
Washington decided to give US post
Office said Mr.. Shepard "the question OF
naming it arose. had interested myself
in getting the office and therefore 1t was
by common consent left to me to Suggest
name to the authorities. Accordingly,
sent on name that l thought was q
beauty, and while awaiting a reply l pic
tured how some day that same name
would be known all over the country and
that the town would grow and blossom as
the rose, for I believe that there is much
that while the name had suggested was
good one, it was too similar to another
postottice in Georgia. Then put my brain
TO work on another narAe. l Just knew
they would accept il, but the same answer
came back as before. Still another and
other names We're sent and each time the
authorities would write back that there
by that name or that it was so much like
some other name that If il was adopted
there would be confusion in the mails. At
last | sat down and wrote out a list OF
several hundred names and told them if
they could not find one in the list to suit
them the office would remain nameless
for had suggested every name I had ever
back, Let it remain Nameless,' and ever
since then it has had that name, which,
while little odd, is not such bad name
after all"

NORTHERN PACIFIC MIDDLE.
1t Seems to Be question of Jurix-


diction.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 1S.-The Dis
patch says today:
1t is stated now that the sticking
point in the Northern Pacific muddle
is the question of original jurisdiction
and that the question whether the
court has original jurisdiction and the
others coordinate jurisdiction may
have to be formally passed upon be-
fore anything can be done.
All the out Of town attorneys and
officials who have been working for a
consolidation of the receivers have left
the city. No further efforts have been
made to secure immediate adoption Of
the plan. Judge jenkins was not seen
for the reason that the plan has not
been approved by Judge Sanborn in
this city.
A lawyer of this city said today that
Judge Sanford insisted on having
original jurisdiction. Judge Sanborn
is not willing to let this power pass
over his head and go to the far west,
but would be willing to let Judge Jen-
kins' court continue to be the court
of original jurisdiction
While officials here admit that nego-
tiations are for the present suspended,
yet they profess to believe that hope
is not abandoned. The next move
will be to get the judges together It
is admitted that the first great ques-
ton is the point of original jurisdic-
ton but that the personnel Of the re-
ownership is an equally aggravating
subject.

Charles Thiede's last hope is now
gone.
The man who was convicted by a
jury of his peers of numbering his
dear wife" and was once sentenced
to death, must now pay the penalty
with his life.
Only few days ago The Herald
published the last statement of Thiede.
in which he reiterated his innocence,
and in an interview expressed the
strong hope that the Supreme Court
of the United States would reverse
the judgment and grant him new
trial. So confident was the prisoner Of
this that he refused to consider his
execution as a probability even, and
SO up to yesterday, by deceiving him
self with this false hope. he avoided
meeting his real condition face to
face.
On Sunday Marshal Brigham re-
ceived the official news that the Su-
preme Court had sustained the judS-
nent of the lower court, and the IN
telligence was conveyed to Warden
Stark at the penitentiary-
This condition, of course. rendered
necessary a radical change in the
prisoners mode of life, who has here
tofore been comparatively free. Now
he will be in solitary confinement, I'M
der a close guard. The warden knew
that this change would indicate to
Thiede that something serious
was up, and concluded to inform him
of the facts.
When notified that the Supreme
Co,,r+ v-aS oaiost hin, Th;ede was at
first COOL but after he had had time
to think it over and realize the awful
import of it, he broke down and wept
like a child.
1t is presumed that he will now be
sentenced by Judge Bartch very soon
and that the execution will be set for
no distant date.
