/WM. ii. SCoTr's DEATH.-Some
time last Friday afternoon Vim. H.
Scott went to his room at the Ow-
Vngs House, ostensibly to take a
nap. About supper time some one
went to call him, but could get no
response. The door being locked,
a ladder was placed at the window
and a colored person sent up to
enter the room. Seeing the bed
drawn up against the door to bar
entrance, and hearing Willis ster-
torous breathing, the colored fel-
low instantly OWNED the truth and
came down to inform the family.
Upon entering the room Will was
found on the bed unconscious. A
note written by him was found, re-
questing, az he would be beyond
help when found, that they do not
beat and bruise him in an effort
to restore him. An eighth-of-an-
ounce sulphate-of- morphine bottle,
that had been washed out with
spirits, was discovered in the room.
DIR. Taulbee was called, but Will
expired within about fifteen min
utes of the time of the discovery
that something was wrong with
him. His wishes in regard to vio-
lent efforts at restoring him were
respected. The presumption is
that he took the total contents of
the bottle Of morphine. Such q
bottle when full as sent out by the
manufacturing chemists contains
81 and ITO grains of the chemical,
enough to kill at least fifty erdi-
, nary persons not habitually addict
ed to the use of morphine.
Enough is known by the family
to establish the fact that his sui
eide was caused by despondency
over the death of his wife, who
passed away at Catlettsburg a few
weeks ago, leaving two young chill
dren. Will had been back from
Catlettsburg only a day or two
where he had gone to take his little
daughter, to leave her with hit
wife's relatives.
Funeral services were held ovel
the remains at the Owings House
about $3.50 Saturday afternoon by
Rev. J. L. Irwin, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, in the absenc'
Of Rev. w. d. Welburn, of th'
NJ. Z. Church, of which church thu
deceased was a member. The in
terment took place shortly after

William H. Scott was born in thi
town on December 18th, 1858, an,
resided here nearly his entire life
He was the second child of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Henry Scott, who conduct tn
Owings House. Will was a good
hearted young man and was popu
lar. He was during his life en-
gagged in various enterprises, bot
for himself and as clerk or agen
for others, and commanded q goo
trade. His death is a sad blow I
his family, who have the condolen
\ ces of all in their great grief.

born in Mason county, KY, on
Feb. 9th, 1903. She was married
twice, her first husband being Mr..

Mrs. Fenton Bigstaff was su-
perior woman and lady who was
looked up to in her community as a
leader, counselor and friend. She
was strong minded, but womanly,
and those in distress and affliction
instinctively turned to her in their
trouble. She was held in the high
est esteem by all and had warm
friends and admirers throughout
this section. She was a devout
Christian, having united with the
Christian Church at the meeting
conducted on Flat Greek at the
barn of Sinnett Young, Sr., by
Elders Barton Stone, of Cane
Ridge, John Smith and Asa Maxey,
who were converts of Alexander
Campbell, founder of that church.
She was baptized by Elder Maxey
in Flat Creek. She was one of the
first members of the New Salem
congregation and continued a true
and faithful member of the church
until death. She was grand OLD
lady and one whose influence viii

COURT DAY. Monday was a
bright, beautiful early-spring day
and there was big crowd in town.
The 800 cattle on the market all
sold and at good prices compara-
lively.
There were 200 or more stock
hogs, which sold at 1925 to 1915.
Some trade in work horses and
mules at little better prices than
formerly.
The trade of the merchants var
led from very dull to fair, with two
reporting the largest business in
months. 1t was observed that
folks were generally more interest
ed in the stock market than in
anything else. In fact there was
quite a rush to buy cattle and the
cry of the auctioneer was heard the
greater part of the day.
Some merchants reported fair
collections, but others complained
of very little collections. There
was not as much demand for mon
ey as was expected.

THERE is very considerable ex-
preston of disapproval over the possi-
bility of Council granting the right to
anyone whereby a drop curtain con-
tanning advertising may be hung in the
Auditorium.
That such curtain would be a good
medium there is no doubt. but it would
be in extremely bad taste, and would
destroy the effect of the otherwise har-
monious decoration of the place. Be-
sides play house is place where one
wants to run away from business and
forget that he or his friends are persu-
ing the almighty dollar" The ordi-
nary advertising program is enough of
a suggestion of worldly affairs.
If the privilege of hanging the dis
tasteful curtain were granted what
would prevent you and me from going
before Council and asking the right to
hang cards on the sidewalks, or over
and under the proscenium boxes? If
consistent they must grant the request.
We think our present drop curtain is
good enough-unusually good. All
that is needed to make it very good is
for some artist to timber up the ex-
preston of the foremost pioneer who
is saying ''howdy-do" to the Indian
chief. His legs are a little too much
like "Jerry's" wooden one.

United States cavalryman, sta

to the self-destruction of three -fanged
rattlesnake:
"As to the suicide of the creature, 1
am forced to ask for an explanation.
The snake at first sight, coiled up in
the usual manner for a prime strike,
made a vicious lunge at my Logging,
then drew back and closely scrutinized
me from hat to shoe. Instantly q
change of expression came over his
features, and ferocity gave way to q
look that might have been born of dis
gust and resignation. l watched him
closely, not knowing what might be
his next move. He suddenly astonished
me by plunging headlong into the
Belle Fourche. Motionless he sank, and
lay at full length at the bottom. con-
itinued to watch him until the last ves-
tige of his reptilious breath had risen
TO the placid surface in pearly bub-
BILE, and then with the aid of stick 1
raised him from the water, placed him
in the sunshine and satisfied myself
that life was extinct. 1 had never
known or heard of rattler taking to
water, and here / was confronted by
the plainest case of suicide by drowning
in broad daylight. l have since then
lost all faith in snakes. have adopted
and discarded every theory that might
offer solution in this case, and am now

liberately suicided because it had COM

great deal of energy has been dis
played by certain popocratic papers in
trying to delude the public into be-
lieying that Mckinley did not carry
Ohio by oyer 1000 plurality. Some of
those deluded persons who bet ON
Bryan even went SO far as to notify
stake holders not to pay oyer money
held by them. The proprietor of the
Mecca held large number of bets and
as he wished to get rid of the RESPONSE
bility of holding the money, he applied
to the secretary of state for an official
opinion as to the size of McKinley's
plurality. He gotit and at once began
paying the Republicans the stakes they
had won. Other poolrooms will do
likewise. The letter in question is as
follows:
Columbus, o., November II.
V. A. Koerner:
In answer to your request as to the
exact plurality of Mckinley in Ohio for
president, l have to say that the Nc
Kinley electors have over the Bryan
electors in this state 81, 100. In the rec
ords of this department it will be en-
tered and so appear that McKinley's
plurality over Mr.. Bryan is 81, 109.

PERlWINkLE FAD.
Cockney Sheilfish DcIicacy Grown in tho
WnGe Is OF the Sound.

Wate OF the Sound.
One of the chief dishes in the cock
ney bill of fare in England is the perl
winllle, shellfish resembling in shape
the small snail, says the New York Jour
nal. 1t has hitherto been practically
unknown to American epicures and is
said to be greatly inferior to the
species of shellfish eaten in this coun-
try.
OF late periwinkles have been offered
for sale in a number of stores patron
lied by the New York colony of cock
neys. 1t is said that all of the peri
winl<les sold in New York come from
New Rochelle. An Englishman living
there was in the habit of importing
them for his own use. One consignment
was much larger than he expected or
wanted, and he concluded to try an ex-
pertinent and see if they could be grown
in this country.
He dumped about a bushel in the
sound, and, to his surprise and pleas
ure, they seemed to thrive as well there
as in their native English waters. They
multiplied rapidly, and he not only
found it unnecessary to import any
more but had more than he could pos
sibly use. So he has placed them on
sale and is deriving considerable rev.
enue from them.

Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have Poor

have been asked whether ever re-
ceive social invitations from million
aires in open envelopes, with halfpen-
ny stamps, and what I think of the
practice on the part of the millionaires,
says London Truth. It is not often that
I am privileged to receive invitations
from millionaires under any circum-
stances, but it is remarkable fact that
I have had such an invitation addressed
to me at the halfpenny rate of postage,
and as others have had similar ex-
perience l suppose that millionaires as
class have a weakness for halfpenny
postage stamps. Probably this weak
ness has something to do with their
having become or remained million
aires.
A worse failing on the part of mil
lionaires of which have experience ia
that they occasionally ask their friends
to dinner and sit them down to a meal
quite unfit to eat. Personally, I would
rather that n man took halfpenny off
the postage of my invitation and spent
it on the dinner. So far as the invita-
ton is concerned, there may possibly
be many people who, when invited to
the houses of millionaires, would wish
the fact widely known and would pre-
fer, If possible, that the invitation
should be sent on postcard, so that all
who run may read. Perhaps it is from
this kindly motive rather than from
parsimony that millionaires patronize
the halfpenny post. Let us think as
well of Dives as we can.
