J. III. Wise. president of the Yer
non Coal Company, accompanied
by DR.. w 81. Allen, Of Rich Hill,
called on the TINES Wednesday
morning.
The circulation OF the TINES con
tinues to grow. The paper now is
visitor to almost every home in the
county. OF course advertisers will
appreciate the fact that they can
reach almost the entire population
OF the county through the columns
of the booming TINES,
The Springfield Leader-Democrat
in commenting upon the removal of
Hon. r. E Lewis from the state
says: Roberts political experience
was brilliant aud brief. He was
''rolled" on every hand and knitted
by the chiefs in his own wigwam.
But such is republican politics in
this democratic commonwealth"
"My son John started for Louis
vile, KY, last night to see what he
can learn of the whereabouts OF my
son Richard" said N. Johannes this
morning. Richard graduated at a
Louisville Medical College this
spring, and the last We heard from
him was on May 21st, when he
wrote he was going to look up a
location. He is % years OF age and
had $75 or $50 when he wrote. Not
having heard from him for 80 long
we are apprehensivs lest some mis-.
fortune has overtaken him Ne
vada Noticer.
The miners in our county appear
to be among our most patriotic citi-
zens, in spite of the fact that large
per cent OF them are foreigners The
Review tells OF another flag raising
by the boys, this time at Wise Bros.
shaft south OF Rich Hill. The money
has been subscribed and the flag
ordered, and the boys claim it will
be larger and on higher pole than
any yet raised in the mines. They
are preparing a very interesting
program for the occasion, which will
be published in few days.
Mrs Mary Hull, wife of r. j. Hull
formerly a conductor on the Illinois
Central railroad, committed suicide
Friday at Schell City, by taking a
dose of strichnine. She took the poi
son in the temporary absence of her
husband, who had gone to the hotel
for dinner. On returning home he
found his Wits in great distress and
screaming with pain She told him
what she had done. He Immediately
ran for DR.. Morris, who lived next
door. The doctor was not at home
and his wife went over while Mr..
Hull went in search of another doe
tor. Mrs. Morris asked her why she
had taken the poison and she said she
had been sick so long and was bur-
den to her husband and friends and 1
that she did not desire to live any Il
longer. She left the following note to L
her husband: "RICHARD-I can't be a L
burden to you any longer SO I have
taken poison TO end my life. 1 made Il
up my mind last night that as soon t
as l could get you out would take t
my life. God forgive. Good bye. b
MARY" q

Fruitless Effort.

The tug e. V. McCauley. which was
towing the Merritt w~reckiEg barge
John Haggerty and went out to at
tempt to raise the day beacon, recently
sunk off Hatteras, has returned with
her tow to Norfolk.
The high seas rolling over The shoals
made it impossible during the rough
weather now prevailing outside to work
upon the sunken beacon. Mr.. H. Is.
BoWerman. supervising engineer, has
communicated with n Lighthouse
Board, and is awaiting further ins.ruc-
tons. . @U .0" .r.
1t was feared that the beacon might
have been sunk from sight in the shift
ing sands, but this proved to be not
true. The structure is still visible, but
that is all. The Job of raising it is a
Herculean one, however. it appears,
and it is gravely doubted by many that
is will again be essaycd. Certainly not
until the weather moderates.

DR.. Dick Wise. one of the Republican
Congressional nominees from this dis
trict. was booked to speak at McLaugh-
Inns Hall last night, but at the eleventh
hoGs' wired that he could not fill the
engagement. owing to the fact that he
had been suddenly called to Washing

at the National Capital is connected
with the complications down here. He
expects to get through with his bust
ness by Thursday, and upon the even
ing of that date will make his postponed
speech at the placG originally 7.elacted
for that purpose.
NEW REGISTRATION.
The new regis tration in the city
Saturday was very sma In fact Is
was discouraging to politicians who
usually see to it that every man votes
who has a right to vote.
The number of new names appearing
on the registration books does not ex-
coed two hundred. Conservative estl-
mates before the registration closed
placed the number of new voters at
fully 800, but this estimate was entirely
TOO high. i.
Prior to this campaign the registered
| vote of the city was about $500. 1t will
not reach over 5000 With the new reg
istration. "" ."". ".H".M.. f.
