IMPROVED CONDITION.

prosperity. At the same time a nun
Der Of very depressing business disas-

This winter the financial condition of
the city is sound. II pocket-books are
not swelled it may ut least be said that
merchants generally have ample funds
to meet their bills.
The contrast with the. condition Of
a few short years back ought to encour-
age Laurens ''to get q move on her

procession.
After all there is no town equal to
Laurens.

London. August 22.-Although the
greatest secrecy is observed on the
subject i'm official circles. the Associat-
ed Press has ascertained that the
story which the Chronicle printed this
morning regarding the reason which
the ShaZada NaZrulla Khan. second son
of the Ameer of Afghanstan, does not
return home. is virtually correct. The
Chronicle says: 1T is rumCred from
a good source that the Ameer has for
hidden the ShaZada TO return until he
has secured Great Britain's consent
that the Ameer shall be automatically
represented at London. He desires TO
deal directly with the government in
stead of through the viceroy OF india.
This impossible demand is supposed 10

According to the information OBJ
tanned by the Associated Press a few
weeks ago. the ShaZada visited the
queen at Windsor Castle and personals
lv informed her majesty that it was
the Ameer's desire to be AUTOMATICALLY
represented at London instead of deal
ing with the British government
through the viceroy of India The Sha-
zada expected an immediate answer
but her majesty replied that she could
not decide without consulting her min-
listers. Last week the Shazada receiy-
ed a definite refusal, and the situation
now is unpleasant if not serious, as
the refusal amounts to a snub to the
Ameer. and it is thought this may af-

ain and Afghanistan. The Shazada

er desiring the life of her child came to
light here this morning. During last
night a child was born to Nh and Mrs

child was born the mother seemed to
be terribly incensod because It was

proposition to DR.. Wells. asking him
to kill it in some manner. This the
doctor refused to do When the story
finally got noised about the citizens Of
the town were greatly incensed over
the actions. of the inhuman mother
and there is a possibility that an effort
will be made to have the child re-
moved. as they think its life is in
jeopardy. There is no explanation as
to why the mother should want the life
of the innocent little babe, unless she
was temporarily deranged. So far,
nothing has been done in the matter,

Sistersville, August 22.-For some
time past there has been quite lot of
petty thieving going on in the barrooms,
gambling houses and other public places
about the city, and for a time the police
and the people who lost valuables and
money were at a loss to account for
these sudden disappearance. For
about two years there has been young
fellow named James Handlon in the
town. He has been employed at diff
ferent times in the gambling room of
Henmeyer Bros, and at other places. He
came from Steubenville, Ohio, and was
known to be a very slick article. Re-
cent developments directed suspicion
against him and ne has been under sur
veillance for several weeks. A few
days ago while he was in the barroom
attached 10 the Hotel Whittiesey, a val
liable god watch disappeared, but
though the owner of the watch felt GER
tain Handlon took it the evidence was
not strong enough to warrant his ar
rest. Yesterday afternoon a well-known
gambler of this place went TO HOckin-
bury's restaurant and deposited his roll,
amounting to 800, with Mr.. HOckin-
bury. Handlon was about at the time
and saw the money put into the cash
register. Last night as Mr. Hockinbury
was working about the restaurant he
noticed Handlon hanging about and
finally tumbled to the racket. He sat
down on a chair and fe!gned sleep, and
as soon as Handlon thought he was
sleeping soundly he sneaked into the
place and deliberately opened the regis
ter and in addition to taking the rol.
tx silver dollar. Hock.nbury
Jumped N front Of him as he was leav-
ing the place and ordered him to stop, or
he would shoot Handlon took to his
heels and ran down a nearby alley, and
finally went to his room. This morn
ing Chief of Police Resdy and Sergeant
Chapman went to his room over the b.
jon clothing store, and arrested Hand
Ian The money was found. He was
locked up Hock!nbury refused TO pros
ecure Handlon and he was given fifteen
minutes to leave town. He left on the
ll15 train this morning. and went eth
err TO Wheeling or his home at Steuben-
vile.
