Cashier Rocks Dead.

A. j. Rocks, who was cashier of the
Fayette County Bank at Somerville,
died of apoplexy last week. He had
been working very hard for several
weeks to get all of the bank business
up, and his physicians state that over
work caused the stroke of apoplexy.
Mr.. Rocks moved to Somerville from
Dresden little over nine years ago.
and was elected cashier of the then
newly organized Fayette County Bank,
which position he held until at
meeting of the directors about month
ago Capt. E. A. Maddox was elected
cashier. Mr.. Rocks intended leaving
about June 10th for Chicago to take
charge of the Chicago Office of the
Southern Homeseekers Land Company,
of which organization he was secretary
and manager. Of late years he has
given great deal of his attention to
Southern immigration, and was consid-
cred the largest promoter of the same
in the South. He was member of the
Knights of Pythias and Masonic lodges.
He carried $1,000 in life insurance,
S26, 900 of which was with the New
York Life Insurance Company.

N,ckel-in-tbe-slot Machines.

The question of whether or not a
nickel-ln-the-slot machine is lawful is
to-be brought before the grand jury of
Shelby county. The popularity of the
machines has grown to such wonder
full extent at Memphis, and the business
has become such disturbing factor to
employers who have young men out on
errands and various missions during the
day, that some method will be hunted
up for the purpose of putting stop to
their conduct. 1t is the opinion of able
lawyers that the fact that they have
licenses does not interfere with the en-
forcement of the law against gaming
and conducting gaming devices.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The surgeons
connected with St GATHERINGS hospital,
in the borough of Brooklyn, have in
prospect a task which is likely to at
tract world wide attention. John Wag-
enblast, a few days ago while careless
ly handling q shotgun, blew off the
front and left side of his face. The
doctors are planning to build him an
artificial face by what is known as
Plastic surgery. The work will be in
charge Of DR.. j. G. Kennedy, visiting
surgeon at the hospital, and DR.. James
s. StaVin, the house surgeon
Surgeon Stavin said today: The first
step will be to replace the nose by one
OF rubber or celluloid. We shall draw
up the skin on either side of the new
nose so that it will slightly overlap the
edges.
THE cheekbone and the bone over
the eye will be replaced by plates Of
silver or platinum. We hope to be able
to use the old roof of the mouth with
out any plates and to save the teeth.
When once We get the nose and plate
in place and the process of healing has
advanced we will begin grating skin
on the bare surface This skin we will
take from the mans thighs. 1t will
require a long time and much patience
on the part of the suffering man, but
we hope to make a respectable job OF
him before we are through. The last
step will be to replace the lost eye with
one of glass;"

marines; with the conveying of the
Shafter expedition from Tampa to

the recital of the destruction of the

One fact disclosed by history of the
days before the surrender of Santiago
is that Sampson asked to be represent

the terms of the surrender of Santiago,

While the other prisoners crowded
about the table in the county jail to
partake of Thanksgiving dinner,
bat" Regan, the Ridgefeld burglar,
whose remarkable fast is attracting
widespread attention, stood to one side,
sullen and communicative.
Against his will he was forced from
his cell and compelled to enter the large
dining hall. The jail officials hoped
that the sight of the delicacies would
tempt him, but they were mistaken.
Sheriff Hawley decided that the only
alternative was to resort to heroic
treatment. Regain was seized and
strapped to a chair. He fought desper-
ately, but was finally subdued. Then
the jail physician. DR.. Banks, and the
attendants forced a rubber tube down
his throat and liquid nourishment, con-.
sisting Of milk and two beaten eggs and
q pint of beef tea, were pumped into
him. He fought but without success.
