The Third Baptist church of


Greensboro is insuring the lives
OF twenty young men, who are its
members, on the ten-payment-Iife
plan, for the benefit of the church.
The church pays the premiums
and in the event of the death of
any of the men the insurance goes
to the church, to which the poll
cies are made payable. Several
policies lave been issued and it is
said the twenty policies will soon
be written. The policies are for
$1,000 each. The insurance is to
provide fund for the ultimate
payment of the church debt, The
plan was suggested by the insur-
an ce company.
The Paducah News-Democrat in
speaking of a proposition to build
a railroad from Dixon, in Webster
county, to Greensboro, says:
"Mr 1. H. Wheatcroft, president
and general manager of the Ken
lucky Western railroad, was in the
city yesterday en- route to his
home in Dixon, Ky. Mr.. Wheat
croft is now operating line of
twenty miles from Blackford to
Dixon, in Webster county, and has
Just returned from Europe, where
he succeeded in interesting for
eign capitalists in the building an
extension of the line from Dixon
to Greensboro.
THE proposed extension will
open up line of fine county that
now lies idle"
The examination of witnesses to
determine the responsibility for
the City of Golconda wreck before
Government Inspectors Jno Moore
and Richard Williams, of Evans
vile, took place last week in Pa
ducah. Inspector Moore said that
there was simply nothing to give
out to the public until the decision
of the inspectors, fixing the res
possibility for the accident, was
made. This decision would be
made, he said, after careful con-
sideration of the evidence, but he
did not know how soon it would
be given out.
There were fourteen witnesses
examined, all being officers of the
steamer and passengers who esca-
ped from the wreck.
The wholesale and retail Jewelry
store of j. j. Bleich, of Paducah,
was broken open and robbed of
81, 900 worth of jewelry Thursday
night.
The work was evidently that of
professionals, and it is believed
they are following Buffalo Bills
show. Entrance to the store was
gained by cutting out rear win
dow The combination of the safe
was worked and they were thus
saved the trouble of blowing it
open. They took all the goods,
the most valuable of which were
in the safe, into rear room and
there sorted them. They took $50
watches, 1900 rings, many of them
being fine ones, and $1,000 worth
Of diamond pendants. All of the
cheaper goods were thrown on the
floor, and only those of real value
were taken, showing that the men
who committed the robbery were
familiar with the jewelry business.

STAMP TAX CHANGES.

The time is just past
when citizens are no longer
compelled to use the war tax
stamps, except in few instances.
Congress has repealed or modified
the law requiring the use of the
stamps. And since July 1, the use of
the revenue stamp in great many
instances has been a thing of the
past. In repeating the law, the
government has provided for a
rebate on all stamps which may
have been already affixed to un-
sold merchandise and to adjust
this inequality throughout the
land will require several weeks.
THE OLD LAW is REPEALED ON

OUTPUT OF MlNERLS IN NEW
MEXICO.

The Engineering and mining
Journal in it's last issue publishes
statistics showing the gold and
silver production of the various
States of the Union for the past
four years. The figures are as near
ly as it is possible to make them,
but especially in the case of New
Mexico, do not give the Territory
one-half the credit due it for New
Mexico ores are treated in Colora-
do and at Ell Paso to greater
extent than at home, and Colorado
and Texas receive credit for part
of the gold and the silver ore pro-
duced in New Mexico. In 1897,
New Mexico is credited with the
production of $47O,OOO worth of
gold, in 1898 with $3.50, 900 worth,
in 1899 with $5OO,OOO worth and
in 1900 with $75O,OOO worth,
standing in that year twelfth
among the gold producing States
and Territories of the Union,
Colorado leading with a produc-
tion of S28, 762,O36 worth of gold
and Arizona being credited with
a production of 81, ,725, 900 worth.
Of silver, New Mexico in 1897
produced $2O9,265 worth; in
1898, S272, 10; in 1899, 1929, $50;
and in 1900, $337,755, being
eight in the list of silver produc-
ing States, Colarado leading with
a production of SIP, 488,775, and
Arizona producing 1914, ,674.
AS New Mexico is a continuation
of the rich mineral bearing Rocky
mountain plateau of Colorado, it
stands to reason that some day
it will equal Colorado as a pro-
ducer of minerals and that the
wealth of the Territory has thus
far been merely scratched.

Snuff is supposed to have received less
pay than he thought was due him. 1t is
not known that there was any serious
difficulty over this during the time that
the men were being paid of. 1t is said
the difference was due to instructions to
Mr. Klein from the head office at Gem
to hold out certain items from the mans
pay.
Monday morning Snuff came to the
office of the Standard mine with rifle.
Only Mr.. Klein and man by the name
Of Lippert were in the Office. Snuff or.
dered Lippert to leave the room, which he
did. An instant after leaving the build
ing he heard the rifle shot. Snuff then
came out Of the Office, and, passing Lip
pert, told him to keep his mouth shut or
he would do the same to him. He then
made his escape.
When Mr.. Klein was found he was un.
conscious, with bullet in the lower part
Of his right lung. He never regained con-
seriousness, and died short time after
ward.
Lppcrt Immediately gave the alarm, and
within half hour there were 20 deputies
from Gem out securing the country for
the murderer. The employees turned out
and hunted the man, assisting the deputies
in their search The blacksmiths from the
works, the miners and men of all classes
and trades went in search Of the fugitive.
Warning was also telephoned to Gem, and
In short time the man was captured near
that place. He still carried the fatal rifle,
but made no resistance to arrest. He was
taken to Wallace, where he is now in Jail.
He has made no statement as to the crime,
and 1t is said none will be allowed.
