BITUMINOUS COAL HAS
MANY FRIENDS HERE.

Among heating sxperimen is tn at
are now being tried is the mixing Of
cook with anthracite. In other
cases mixed anthracite and btu.
minous coal is being used. So far
comparatively few llhouseholders
seem to have reverted altogether to
bituminous coal for heating pur-
poses.
The fact that hundreds of gas
cooking stoves are being sold when
at this season of the year the de-
mand for them is usually light is a
sure indication" said the manager of
department store yesterday, that
householders generally are prepar-
ing at least to use gas for cooking
purposes this winter if anthracite
coal cannot be. had. But l believe,
with the officials of the gas com.
pany that the use of gas for heating
purposes SO expensive as to be pro-
hibitive."
II am using it, said a business
man yesterday, ''and l find it salts

that l was prejudiced against it,
and believe the main reason BIZ
luminous coal is not being more
generally used also is prejudice"
0id>fatiroad ties are being eagerly
sought BY hesidents along The lines
Of the railroads. Asmuch as rs cents

Railroad Company. Ii appears also
that this morning residents are de-
termined 10 have wood for fuel any

farmers complain that much Of this

SOME ODDITIES OF
DRESS SEEN NOWADAYS.

The Inconsistency of the apparel
of many persons at this time is
amusing. Some new winter hats
pass up the street with the remnants
of straw left over, while a cOatless;
man stops to talk with man wear
ing fall overcoat. Some hatless
maidens in white dresses and short
sleeves meander alvng Market
street and gaze into the millinery
windows where winter headgear is
awaiting a purchaser. They wear
low shoes and do not feel cold. A
man drove down the street, his
knees covered with a thick blanket
and several young men still wear
their last summers outfit. This is
the season when we haves warm
afternoons and cool evenings, and

John S. Veasey Escaped From
The Sheriff Peter
Hart.

Artemas Ward used to tell a sto-
ry of man who for thirteen years
was confined in dungeon; sudden.
ly a bright idea struck him. he
opened the window and got out.
Some such idea probably came to
Johns. Veasey,as he sat in the resid-
ence Of Sheriff Peter Hart at Geor-
getown last euening, for while the
Sheriff was out, Veascy went away
from there. The particular inter
est attached to the departure Of
Veasey was that he was held in de-
fault of the payment of $500 fine for
keeping a gambling house.
Eeasey pleaded guilty 10 General
Sessions Court at Georgetown yester-
day and was sentenced to pay a fine
Of $500 He was one of the persons
indicted as result Of a raid in Lewis.
After receiving his sentence he was
taken to The residence Of the Sheriff.
and had supper with him, Sheriff
Hart left Veasey at the house and
went to light the lamp in the
Sherlffs Office In the County
Court House. When he returned
Veasey was missing.

FROSTY MORNINGS MAKE
US THINK OF COAL

AS the coolest day of the fall yes
terday enjoyed quite distinction
among the cool mornings of the
past few days. Not much hope for
better things is held out by the
weather man, who has sent out
special warning Of disturbance
central over the Gulf of Mexico and
which was rapidly making its way
toward Wilmington. Storm signals
we're ordered up as far north as
Fort Monroe, and warning of very
high northeast winds was given.
Fifty degrees was yesterdays
chilly figure, and the man SHORT on
coal did some heavy thinking.
Frost was in the air, and overcoats
and heavy wraps came in very
nicely.

Death of DR.. Allen Fowler.

On Tuesday Mr.. l. E. Chapman re-
ceived letter from Abingdon informing
him of the death of DR.. Allen Fowler,
which occurred at Salt Lake City, Utah,
on Wednesday, the 9TH inst, and was
caused by pneumonia.
DR.. Fowler was about sixty-two years
old at the time Of his death, and he was
born in Monroe county, then Virginia,
now West Virginia. His father was Dr.
Allen Fowler, wto lived at this place
many years ago and who built the resi-
dence now occupied by Mrs. Sarah Brit
tain. The deceased was lieutenant in
the Confederate artillery and was wound
ed during the Civil War. After the war
he went to Salt Lake City, where he
resided until his death, and where he
had for years occupied very prominent
position as a physician. He was never
married, and we are informed accumu-
lated quite a handsome estate.
DR.. Fowler is survived by one brother,
Mr.. l. G. Fowler, clerk OF the United
States Court at Abingdon, Va, and two
sisters, Mrs. James D. Johnston and Mrs.
R. R Pearls, of Roanoke, Va. He was
first cousin of Mr.. 1. Z. Chapman, oi
Tazewell.
We never knew Dr. Fowler, but from
those who knew him well we have learned
to think of him as brave man, splendid
gentleman and eminent physician.

is also to be posted at the front door of
the court house and at each voting pre-
cinct in the county. This provision Of
the statute has never been complied with
in Tazewell county,or in any county of
the State, so far as we have been able TO
ascertain.
The contention that it is the duty Of
the Board of Supervisors to publish an
itemized statement of every warrant paid
out on every account is absurd. The law
does not require it, and it would entail
an enormous cost to the county. The
books in the Treasurer's Office show every
warrant paid and on what account, as do
the books of the Board of Supervisors;
and any citizen who desires the informa-
ton can 90 to our accommodating Treas
urer and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
who will be pleased to show him the
books and demonstrate that the present
Board of Supervisors is composed of hon.
orable men, who are far above the un-
worthy suspicious some critics seem go
anxious to place upon them.
The Board of Supervisors has nothing
to do with the disbursement of the bor-
rowed road fund. That is entirely in the
hands of three road commissioners in each
of the magisterial districts of the county.
There is no trouble in finding out how the
borrowed funds have been used. The
books are open for inspection to any
citizen who wishes to examine them.
