A Cigar Factory.
A new enterprise is being

A new enterprise is being put
on foot IN the hustling, muddy
little city of Bluefield. A COM
pany has been organized to man
ufacture cigars. The Ten bros.
Cigar company is The unique name
of the firm. j. G. Litz is Presi-
dent, and A. u. Litz is Secretary
and Treasurer. These Litz boys
are from Tazewell, and all Of them
are energetic, successful fellows.
This company was organized
about January l, and have not
completed their plant. They are
at work, however, with several
hands, and will soon put at least
fifteen cigar-makers to work.
We had the opportunity of going
through the building last Tues.
day, and was very much pleased
with what we saw. Mr.. w. F.
Brockmeyer is foreman. He is an
exper6 workman, having had
long experience in the business.
The quality of cigars made here
are very fine. We had the pleas.
ure of sampling a genuine Ha-
vana, which was made while we
looked on. The Havana tobacco,
which comes wrapped in tight
bundles. and looks as sorry as
possible, costs 50 per pound.
We pre- dict for these hustling
young men success. We see no
reason why Bluefeld is not good
place for cigar factory, and the
Litz boys are the people to man
age it.

people of Boston sympathize with them.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Admiral Dew
ey's candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President is at an end, according
to one of his close friends. When he made
his sensational announcement of his can
didacy he promised to make public def
mite statement of his views on the political
questions of the day. This statement has
not been made, and. according TO the ad-
mirars friend, will not be made. The
admirals change of mind about the state
ment, this friend AYERS, means that he is
no longer in the presidential field 1t is not
understood that the admiral will make
formal announcement Of withdrawal from
a race he never really was in. but will con-
tent himself with letting the matter drop.
The admiral became convinced during his
recent visit to the West and South that his
best friends did not approve of his enter
ing the whrl of politics. Moreover. he
came to believe that the pressure upon him
to become a candidate was due more to the
desire of certain Democratic politicians to
use his prestige to defeat Bryan than to
any desire on their part to crown him with
any additional laurels. He has come to
chinery of the Democratic party absolute
ly, leaving chance for any one else at
Kansas City. The movement to nominate
Admiral Dewey for Vice President on the
ticket with Bryan does not appeal to him.
There are Democrats who want to sec the
ticket made up that way, and they are
putting out the argument that IL Dewey is
such a good Democrat as he wanted peo-
pie to believe a few weeks ago he would
not hesitate to accept the second place on
the ticket at the call of the party. But
Admiral Dewey is not so foolish as to give
up the first place in the navy for life for
the second place in the executive branch
of the government for four years. 1t is
not believed he will be nominated against
his wishes. There are plenty of ambitious
Democrats anxious for the honor of acting
as tail to Bryan's presidential kite. There
are in the House Sulzer. of New
York, and Lentz. of Ohio. Over in
New York there is Chairman Danforth
of the state Democratic committee, and
collie Belmont and his barrel. Massachu-
setts has George Fred Williams Ohio has

DEATH OF AN INVENTOR.
Had Worked Twenty-Five Years ON a
GoId-Rchning Machine.

NEW YORK, May 3o.-After working
twenty-five years to complete a gold refin-
ing machine. Samuel w. Walker. an in
ventor, of Omaha, was stricken with heart
disease In Brooklyn and died to-day. aged
forty-eight years. Walker believed he had
found practical way TO recover gold from
the crude ore by dry process. He devel-
oped an amalgamating machine, and after
a long period of waiting he obtained
patent. His years of scientific research and
the cost Of perfecting his invention cost him
a fortune. He brought the model of his
machine to the East in the hope of interest
ing capitalists in this city. Several wealthy
men became interested in Walkers patent
after his arrival i'm New York. Walker
told his friends a few days ago that the
experiments he had been conducting were
successful in every detail. 1t was said that
Walker would take his gold refining ma
chine to the Klondike with the backing of
William r. Cody and others.

determined upon I'm the event of the ap-
proach Of the British to Pretoria. One
was to concentrate all the Boer forces in

city. The other was to evacuate Pretoria

supplies to be collected and then the army

last until the last man was killed.
Mr.. Fischer acknowledged that If Presi-
dent Kruger should tell the men OF his
army 10 lay down their arms and surren-
der in a body they would do il, but he
claimed this would never be done by the
President. When asked as TO their plans

lie and the capture of President Kruger

that they would keep on In their. work in

RICHMOND. Va, May 30.-In the trial
to-day at Lawrenceville of Rev. j. E. Rid
dick for the murder of DIR. William Tenn
pie, there was some sensational testimony.
The commonwealth brought out that after
a conversation Riddick had had with his
wife. he expressed doubt whether he
justified in killing Temple. The defense
put the aged father of the prisoner. a
Methodist minister himself, on the stand,
and drew from him that inebriety and luna
cy were hereditary in the family, running
back to witnesses grandfather. He told OF
how the prisoner had at one time fallen
from the faith and testified that on the ad-
vice of physicians one of his (witness's)
daughters had married TO save herself from
insanity. ''It was either that or the asy-
lum' said the minister. a letter was read
from Rlddick to his wife and his mother
in which the prisoner claimed that God
had Influenced him to kill DIR. Temple.
