Life is at very high pressure in this

Life is at very high pressure in this country says William c. Whitney. Men of affairs must have some relief from the pressure under which they are living. Racing offers that relief There Is something human about the racing of horses. Any man with soul loves a horse. In the summer time he loves to go to his country place and visit his stables and look over his horses and talk to his friends about them In the thoroughbred the lover of horses finds new and keener interest. I do not know how it is with others, but for myself can attend to my business in- Anitely better because I have some horses to be interested in. I guess I'd 20 to seed if 1t wasn't for my horses"

MYSTERY CLEARING.
Facts About Old Murder About to Be.
come Known.

Cherokee, Sept. Six years ago
this fall an aged couple by the name
of Schultz, living sixteen miles south
west of here. were murdered. The old
people had between $1,000 and $1,000
hidden in the house, $500 being in an
old bible. Only small amount of the
money was taken. Detectives and To-
cal authorities have worked on the
case ever since. Three years ago a
man by the name of Skinner was tried
for the crime, but was acquitted The
murdered woman had two brothers
George and John Montaghney, living
near. Both brothers are well-to-do
farmers. Suspicion has pointed a
finger towards the brothers from the
first, but there was nothing definite
Since that time Georges mind became
unbalanced and he has been at the asy
lum for some time. Johns wife died
from nervous decline. Recently there
has been trouble in the family and q
'son of George has turned states evi
dence, and the matter is now before
the grand jury. Both brothers and
their families as well as foster sor
of John, by the name of George Good
rich, have been called before the jury
If the boys confession is accepted
there will be a solution of one of the
dark crimes of our country's history.

What Marion Harland says in the
Chicago Daily News of September A:
The sketch shown herewith illus
trates charming pair of the old blue
historical plates that are in such de-
mand just now for decorative pur-
poses. There are Wedgwood plates
nine inches in diameter, and the dark
blue floral border forms a most effect
i've outline for the historical scene de-
picted in the center.
A great variety of subjects may be
had in these plates, the two chosen
here representing Faneuil hall, Bos-
ton, the cradle of liberty, 1912. The
second one is the return of the May
flower
Casting a farewell look at the glim-
mering sail of the Mayflower, distant,
but still in sight and sinking below
the hrizon."
The scenes suggest the plates are
genuine Wedgwood, having been made
my Josiah Wedgwood & Son, England,
and are exceedingly pretty in them
selves. A set for the dining room
plate shelf is quite the thing and very
decorative.
l have no cuts to represent these
plates but they are genuine and my
price is ane-third less than prices quot,
ed in the ladies' magazines. | have
only limited quantity left. | have
also just received line of jardinieres
from England which are handsome
and cheap. Call and pick out the "old
blue" ones before they are sold.

DR.. WILLIAMS TALKS.
Believes President MckinIey's Symp-
toms Are Favorable.

DR.. A. O. Williams, of this city, who
is looked upon as one of the most sue
cessful surgeons in this part of the
state was asked his opinion of the
Presidents condition as told from day
to day in the Associated Press bulle-
tins received by the Courier. He said:
The symptoms reported IN the bull
letins are considered favorable by sur
geons of experience. The advances in
surgery of the stomach in the last
twenty-five years have been ve"y
marked and have demonstrated the
tolerance of that organ to be extea-
sive and that it is capable of enduring
very severe injuries, much more so
than other portions of the intestinal
tract. This is because plastic adhe.
sions form readily and quickly, her.

Labor Notes.
AS long as the workingmen contin-
ue to buy non-union-made goods, just
so long will respect for them be less
and merchants continue to handle that
class of goods whose existence pro-
claims Labor's servility.
1t signifies that human life is be-
coming more highly priced in the pro-
ducton of human commodities than
mere profit; it warns you that by pat
ronizing a firm who does not uphold it
you assist in building up the business
of a tyrant who extracts fortune
from the drudgery and degradation of
his fellowmen. Therefore, create the
demand. Ask for Union Label wher
ever you go, whatever you purchase.
Even though you are aware that a Ia
| bel is not on the market, nevertheless
demand it, Demand governs supply.
If the labor unions did nothing else
than call attention to the misery that
abounds, their existence would be JUS
tifiable; but they have done more, they
have not only called attention to the
effects, they have shown the causes.
They have done more still; they have
produced remedies, upon the merits
and dement's of which professors, edi-
tors and ministers now discuss and
advocate. Labor unions have pro
duced thinkers and educators from out
their own ranks, and have drawn stud
ents and teachers from the wealthy
and professional And more yet; while
doing this, they have bettered the con
dition of thousands of families, by Sc
curing higher wages, shorter hours
and greater independence, individually
and collectively. The result is some
thing to be proud of. The carpenter

maker, tailor, working long hours or
short rations, have stepped boldly tt
