At meeting Of the city gas board.
held last night contracts for the en-
suing year for furnishing gas coal and
lime and for the hauling Of coal and
coke were let. to the lowest bidders In
each instance. Owing TO the fact that
the coal operators in the Pittsburgh
district, from which the board has
been getting SIS gas.makins coal. have
combined. the bid from the Pittsburgh
Coal Company was the highest Of the
three submitted. The others came
from the Monongah and Montana COM
panies. OF Fairinont and the lower OF
the two. that Of the Monongah, was
accepted. The Pittsburgh company
WAS represented by Henry Floersheim,
who has the coal contract about to ex-
plre. The lime bidders put in identical
blds-evldently a prearranged scheme
on their part-and the contract went TO
Robert Carruth; Meister Brothers are
the present contractors. The hauling
contract was awarded to Wilson Allen,
whose bid was one OF the two lowest.
The present coal contract is on the
basis Of 81 % for lss-ineh cos', and 81 .
for s;-inch. The Increased cost on an
annual consumption OF 10000 tons (last
years flgures), is over $500. While
the board would have preferred to con-
tinue using Pittsburgh district coal, the
difference in the bids was so great that
It was considered the wiser plan to
take the cheaper Monongah coal,
which is claimed to be as good as the
Pittsburgh district article. The coal
contract was awarded on unanimous
vote of the board. 8Iessrs. Buchanan.

There are those who believe in luck,
who say no wonder Senator Tillman,
of South Carolina, has bean successful
in politics and everything else he has
everything else under taken, though few
others of such extravagant speech and
temper could be politically successful.
Their explanation Of the phenomenon
is that he is the seventh son of an elsv-
euth child. His father was the elev-
enth child, and he the seventh son of
his parents. In the parlance of the
plantation negro, he is a "seben-elev-
en-er," and that is winner. 1t has
surely been the case in Tillman's
life. In every political contest he has
entered success has crowned his efforts.

Zone of the pleasantest sights

Zone of the pleasantest sights we
have had in this town in long
time says the Vinland, Kansas,
Weekly Vine, twas the artistic man
ner in which John Griffin, Of Law
renee, buried Bill Kruer, who died
since our last issue. Mr.. Griffin had
his trade at his fingers ends, and he
handled our dead citizen with an
agility that was startling in its orig
inality. He was everywhere all the
time, weeping with the afflicted wild
ow, discussing weather prospects with
the farmers and soliciting business
from the other attendants at the
funeral. He will doubtless be able TO
get all the business in these parts. Be-
fore leaving for home he subscribed
for this great family weekly, paying a
year In advance.

DEATH OF MRS. MARY GRIMES.

The death Of this aged and estimsble
lady, occurred on March 22nd, 1900,
at the residence of her daughter Mrs.
W. A. Mills, Of Greene county, Miss
Mrs. Crimes was about eighty years
old and had been IN feeble health for
some time. At eight O'Clock on the
morning of her death she seemed as
well as she had been for a week past.
But death claimed her and few mo-
ments later she was dead.
Mrs. Grimes was for long time q
consistent membe OF Macedonia Bap-
tiss church.
She leaves five children, Jno w
Grimes, Luke Grimes, Mrs. W. A.
Mills, Mrs. W. Williams and Mrs. Phil
lin Mizell Besides large number of
grandchildren.
These mourn not as without hope,
for they have the ''blessed assurance"
that Mother Granamma has only gone
before and waits to welcome them to
her Beautiful home" IN the man
sions of light.
On March Gath, 1890 a. m, the fu-
neral services were conducted by Rev.
H. s. Ellison, at the house of her son
Jno w. Grimes in Washington coun-
ty. Ala, and her body was laid to rest
in the family grave yard.
Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest
Whose waking is supremely blestl -
Thus is closed long and useful life.
Lies duty done as SINKS the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies
While heaven and earth combine to
say,
How blest the righteous when she
dies. "

nifty in sympathy for the bereaved
ones A Friend.

The story which comes fro n Wash
ington to the effect that G. P. Hunt
intgon, the transcontinental railroad
magnate, is taking hand in the Ala
bama senatorial campaign, using his
efforts to defeat the reelection of Sen
ator Morgan, is provoking intense in
terest in that state state. Senator
Morgan's friends believe that there is
much truth in it, while Gov. Johnston
is quick to deny any knowledge on his
part of Mr.. Huntington 8 alleged inter
ference in Ala bama affairs. The gov
ernor declared, on the day the story
first appeared that he knew nothing
about it. He said that he had had
no correspondence with Mr.. Hunting
ton or any of the latter's friends
and that as matter of fact does
not know the railroad magnate. The
governor sc puts the story. Morgan e
friends, however, asserts their belief
that it is true that Huntington il
the head of secret campaign co u.
mittee that is working to defeat Nor
gan, because of his championship Of
the Nicaragua canal.

The death of Gen. Joubert removes
one of the greatest soldiers of our
day. 1t is remarkable that little
Dutch republic in South Africa should
have produced soldier who, judged by
what he has been able to accomplish,
can hardly be denied the name of ge-
MUS. If there are any military men
in the United States service today who
are the equals of Joubert, they must
be hidden out somewhere. Certainly
Miles, Merritt, Otis and Shafter are
not the equals of thu gallant Boer.
The name of no Frenchman German,
or Russian occurs to us as at all
comparable with him, while the pres
emit war in South Africa has demon
strated the inferiority OF the British
generals. Cecil Rhodes and President
Kruger are, curiously enough, agreed
as to the size of the Boer armies.
Rhodes saws there has never been more
than 80, 900 Beers and $4,000 mercen-
aries under arms. Kruger says the
lighting strength of the two republics
has been about 10000 men. IL has
been with this limited force that Joub
ert has fought the great British empire
and smashed one military reputation
after another.
