ETTRICI\S, VA, Oct. So.-The mysteri-
Gus murder of Waterman W. r. West
moreland, at the Pocahontas Cotton Mil s
here, is still q. live topic, and has recently
been invested with deeper interest be-
cause on the connection of supernatural
cult science to discover the assassins.
Westmoreland was foully murdered in the
dark while on duty at the Pocahontas
Mills year ago the 18th of the present
month.
PROFOUND MYSTERY.
The assassination is just as great a
mystery now as it was then. and though
the friends of their victim still have hope
of the apprehension on the murderers,
this hope has been brightly rekindled
from an unexpected source and in an
unusual way.
This encoura cement is due to the
dreams, which are very remarkable to say
the least. Two different persons living
in that immediate neiShborhood have, 1t
various times, dreamed of seeing Mr..
Westmoreland on the identical spot
where he was killed and talked with him
about the shooting, and to each one he
said there were -four persons who lived
in Petersburg implicated in the murder,
though only one did the fatal firing.
TALK WITH DEAD MAN.
When asked who that one was the
sleeper awol1e before getting {. reply
Some of Mr.. Westmoreland's relatives

ant, who said there were four of the
nurderers, and fully described each

Tense she was in the Petersburg. Jail a
part of the time that those young men
accused and held for this murder were
confined, and that She overheard enough
to convince her that these men did the
killing.
1t is asserted by Mr. Nestmoreland's
friends that his murderers are yet and
have been all the while in the city OF
Petersburg. These reports are given as
news items; how much truth or worthy
evidence there is in them I cannot say.
The belief is that there is some.
ETTRIc MS MILL.
The Ettricks Cotton Mill is running very
shorthanded now. There seems to be
quite a scarcity of help in every depart
ment. The Pocahontas Cotton Mill on
the opposite side of the river. seems to
have plenty of help since work was re-
sumed from the long suspense for repairs
during the summer: but they are having
a lot of trouble with getting some of the
gearing to run smoothly. a few days
since they came near having fire Of
some magnitude. a long piece of shaft
ing in the weave room, being poorly adj
justed. ran hot. caught fire and burned
the Warns out of some of the looms.
Some new hangers have been ordered and
will be put in place in a few days, and
then it is to be hoped everything will
work satisfactorily. FOR the present the
mill is idle.

The Ear.

AS delicate as the organ of vision Is
that of hearing, and as careful n watch
should be kept upon 1t, SO that no loss
of that more exquisite sense may &C.
cur.
When several blind persons were
questioned as TO which they would
rather do without, their visual organs
or those Of hearing, the majority de-
clared in favor Of hearing We feel a
compassion for the blind; for the deaf
we are not often sympathetic. The
spectacle of a sightless individual
touches us to tears; that of one who
cannot hear provokes almost feeling
of drollery. Yet no doubt the loss of
one organ is as pathetic thing as the
loss Of the other.
Many erroneous ideas still exist In
the public mind that interfere seriously
with the work of the skilled aurist.
Too many people think that the ear Is
so delicate an organ that nothing
whatever can be done to alleviate any
distress arising therein and allow
trivial disorder that might be rectified
by an aurist to bring about case Of
partial deafness that settles into per-
manency.

lie licked 1t to make sure Of its sticking
properly. But while pouring he had
inadvertently let drop or two trickle
on the outside Of the bottle where he
had affixed the label. Then when he
touched the label with his tongue he
felt as If something shot along that
member and also a jump Of his heart.
So he rushed to n tap, which was for

Dirt In Dainty Carpets.

For housewives who pride them
selves upon the spotless floor coverings
The Druggists Circular gives the fol-
lowing recipe for removing spots Of
dirt from carpets:
Make suds with good white soap
and hot water and add fullers earth
to this until the consistency of thin
cream. Have plenty of clean drying
cloths, small scrubbing brush, large
sponge and pail of fresh water. Put
some Of the cleaning mixture in bowl
and dip the brush in it. Brush a small
piece of the carpet with this; then
wash with the sponge and cold water.
Dry as much as possible with the
sponge and finally rub with dry cloths.
Continue this till you are sure that all
the carpet is clean; then let it dry.
