NAMES OF ISLANDS.


Cincinnati, o., April /, 1901.
Mr.. S. j Hathaway,
President of Marietta Board of Trade,
Marietta, Ohio.
Sir:--In continuation of my letter OF
March 26, have herewith to write you
further as follows concerning the pro-
posed change in the site of Dam. No.
IS, below Marietta.
find that there has been consider
able confusion in the minds of many
people as to where it is now proposed
to place Dam No. 18, because of the
variable names which have been given
in the past to the islands between
Muskingum Island and Parkersburg.
The place where it is now proposed
to locate the dam is about five miles
below the head of Muskingum Island
and about five miles above the Park
ersburg railroad bridge which places it
a short distance below the foot of the
second island below Marietta and the
second island above Parkersburg.
In looking over the old printed cop
les of the Western Pilot of 1911 and
1912, the old survey reports of 1887 and
1871, and the old upper Ohio River at
las of 1877, find that this second ISL
and below Marietta and second island
above Parkersburg has at times re-
ceived various names, as follows: Half
Way; James; Vienna or Half Way;
Vienna or James; Vienna. In the
same way, the third island below Mar
ietta and the first above Parkersburg,
has received names as follows: Vienna
or James; Cole or Vienna; James,
Cole or James; and Neale's. On our
river survey maps of 1899 the upper
island was called James. and the lower
island was called Vienna. Perhaps 1t
would have been better to have called
the upper island Half Way Island and
the lower island Neales. This confu
sion probably rose because the old
town of Vienna lay about half way be-
tween the two islands. The now pro-
posed location of the dam is above the
site of the old town of Vienna; that is,
just below the upper of these two is
lands, called Half Way in 1911, and
considerably above the lower of these
! two islands, called Neale's in 1877.
There will probably be less confu-
sion in everybody's mind if, when you
speak of the newly proposed location,
you describe it as being about seven
miles below Marietta and five miles
above Parkersburg.
Very Respectfully,
w. H. BIXBY,
Major, Corps of Engineers, U. s. A.

Sir:-Yours of March 28 is duly at
hand, on behalf of the Committee ap-
pointed by your Board of Trade, to
consider the question of change of To-
cation of Dam No. 18, Ohio River
Replying to your letter, | have to
say that it has always been my inten-

dent engineer who will have charge of
the construction of Dam No. Is, and
my request for local office and office
force, so located, has already been sent
to Washington for approval. Mr..
Hathaway of your Board of Trade has
already been informed in writing of
such intentions on my part.
At the same time, all that can do at
the present time is to state my present
intentions, without any promises what
ever for the future. Past long exper-
ience has shown me that it is impossi-
BILE, or at least impracticable, to pledge
in advance the action of the Chief of
Engineers, or of the Secretary of War.

Aldrich. Mo-, May so.-Four of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been in
attendance on Mrs. Noble Moore, of
this place, who has been suffering with
a very severe case OF nervousness and
kidney disease. Each Of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills she
began to use them. and instantly no.
ticed change for the better. Her ri-
provement has been continuous since
then.
She says that the disease first mani-
tested itself by the appearance of dark
spots floating before ner eyes. Her
rerves We're so bad that many times
they would collapse completely, and she
would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodds Kidney Fills
saved her, after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end of talk in this
reighborhood, and all are loud IN their
praises of this new sdy-Dodd's Kid
ney Pills-which is curing so many hith-
erto incurable cases in this state, and
elsewhere.

the boys bedroom, the parents were
horrifled to find the lad gasping for
breath and unconscious, with his face
covered with blood.
IAN examination showed that the skull
was fractured at the base on the right
side, disclosing the brain. The boy had
been slashed six times on the right side
of the face with knife, while another
cut had almost severed the lobe of the!
right ear.
The boy evidently had been sleeping
on the left side, and the murderer had
stabbed and beaten him into insensibil-
ity as he lay on the bed. He was I'M
conscious and passed away about II
O'clock without word of explanation
Of the tragedy.
On the wall along the stairs leading
out the front way We're marks OF
blood stained right hand. This was at
a landing part of the way down, where
the murderer had made a misstep and
braced himself against the wall The
cord by which the front doc e opened
also gave evidence that ploouy hand
had seized 1t.
The boy was asleep in an upper nat.
Below lived family which had num-
Der of visitors during the evening. They
heard no sounds in the rooms above.
The police theory is that the burglar
was some one who knew the habits of
the Hislop family, and when he entered
the boys room he reused the lad and
was recognized. In rage and fear he is
thought to have struck the boy with a
Ratchet and then slashed him with
knife in an insane frenzy.
Acting on the suggestion of the par
ents, the police have arrested Lutchard,
who is % years old, taciturn and stupid.
He roomed for six weeks at Hislops and
then was made to go because he could
rot pay his rent. He was in Jail few
weeks ago for fighting in a saloon. He
was drunk and was badly battered.
Brass knuckles and keen sheath knife
were found on his person.
Lutchard says he can establish an
alibi. He says that with a fellow work
man named Schmidt he spent the even
ing in a saloon, and reached home about
10 O'clock. He has not inquired why he
is arrested. To reporter he said he
did not know Robert Hilsop but the
boys parents say Lutchard several
times tried to get Robert to go down
town with him at night.
Young Hilsop was a bright boy, good
at his studies and popular with all who
knew him. The grief of his parents is
pitiable

Libel Suit to Bring Out Mrs. Eddy's
Secrets
Boston, Mass, May 29.-The mysteries
of Christian Scienoe-its inception, de-
yelopment, growth, and, in a word. the,
inside story of a most remarkable move
ment-probably will become as an open
book in the course of a trial that Will

this is intimated in the attitude of those
who will prosecute the case.
Mrs. Josephine Curtis Woodbury., All
one time one of the most intimate
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, has brought
suit for libel against the founder of
Christian Science, and asks damages
amounting to S150,0OO
Papers in the suit were filed in Octo-
Ter 1899. Since that time counsel on
both sides have been collecting a mass
of evidence, and the prosecution will
have at least eighteen witnesses to tell
what they know about Christian Science
ond Mrs. Eddy.
Interest in the case was stimulated
last week by an advertisement inserted
IN the Boston newspapers by Frederick
w. Peabody, counsel for Mrs. Wood
bury, who offers a reward for informa-
tion which will enable him to discover
the whereabouts of former Judge Sep
timus j. Hanna, editor of the Christian
Science Journal, and first reader of the
mother church, whom Mr. Peabody
wishes to summon as witness for the
plaintiff.
Declaration in the suits brought by
Mrs. Woodbury. contain nearly $1,000
words and go at length into Christian
Science and what Christian Scientists
practice and believe.

Must Not Make Goo.Goo Ewes.

Cincinnati, May 30. Former Gov. Asa
Bushnell, Of Springfield, o., dropped in
at the office of the commissioners of
water works yesterday Mr.. BUSHNELL
as is we'll known, is of the firm OF
Warder, Bushnell G. Glessner. The office
and salesrooms of the corporation are
in Chicago, and the following notice had
been posted on the wall there for the
benefit of the stenographers:
This is no counting salon nor millin-
cry shop. Cut out the goo-goo eyes and
attend strictly to your desk duties or
prepare to meet the executioner."
1t was the news of this fact that was
being read as the ex-governor dropped
in and he was promptly asked to ex-
plain. He said: That's our family.
We have to take care of it. oh no, we
were not a bit too strict
