SELMA

Selma, February 4.-(Special.) .)-Selma and Dallas County has lost another high ly esteemed citizen. Maj. R. R. Morey. after an illness of several weeks, died at the home of his stepson, Mr w. S. Monk on Broad street at o'clock this after noon. Major Mercy was born in New York seventy years ago. He was among a party that in 1851 crossed through the perilous west on horseback. He came to Selma after the war and married Mrs. Monk. Here he has lived ever since a modest, brave and true citizen. He was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian church and was ever ready with his purse and his efforts to further the cause of re- ligion.
 The fire last night, which consumed the entire grain department of the Interna- tional Oil Company, was the largest that has been in Selma since the famous fire in 1898, when Cawthon-Coleman's drug store was destroyed. The owners of the grist mill and elevator had purchased a vast quantity of corn during the break in the market a few weeks ago, and the bins, which will hold in the neighborhood of 10000 bushels of corn. were full and running over. Besides there were seven- teen cars of corn on the tracks waiting to be unloaded, but these. with a car of meal. were saved. The mill supplied all the meal that was used in this section and shipped large quantities to Montgom- cry. It was accordingly feared that a meal famine would result, but a car of meal that was to go to Montgomery this morning was stopped and distributed among the merchants. which will tide them over until shipment can be se- cured. The actual loss to the owners of the plant will not exceed SIP, GOO, as the salvage is expected to bring down the amount considerable. The total loss is es- timated at s50O0O, less the salvage, while the insurance was S29,000, distributed among almost every company represented in Selma.

| ter HeStOr. MT. HeStOr said it would
be fine plan if they could induce
the leading capitalists of the country
to meet and discuss methods to reg
! ulate the abuses which have arisen
| under the trust control of Industrial
affairs. Now that think of it, he
mentioned such names as Rockwell,
Morton and Haven, and I am sure
Mr.. Carmody's name was used. Sid
ney told him that these men could
not be induced to take the time to
bother with such matters. Finally
Mr.. Hestor said that he was going to
/, form a trust of his own. Sidney
laughed, but Walter seemed much in
earnest. Soon afterward the party
dispersed and we went home. Sid.
ney went to Chicago, and did not re-
turn until the following Saturday."
The messenger boy arrived with
the original copy of the telegram.
Chalmers gave one glance at it.
"Just as suspected" he said. He
passed the telegram to Miss Hau-
mond. It was written in pencil on
sheet of newspaper copy" paper,
with telegraph head pasted above
it.
"Is that sidney's handwriting2" he
asked.
"Why, mol" exclaimed Miss Olive.
1T is not a bit like it,"
Walter Hestor wrote that" said
Chalmers. II know his writing; hay
ing handled thousands of pages of it.
You may rest assured, Miss Carmody,
that we shall soon solve this mys-
terry. Hestor has not covered his
tracks. He either did not know how,
or did not care. No shrewd criminal
would send a forged telegram in his
own handwriting. He would use
typewriter. Hestor sent this tele-
gram so that you would not be
alarmed at sidney's absence. It Is
plain as day."
Chalmers enjoined the young ladies
to secrecy and returned to his news
paper duties.
The following morning Jack Ste
vens called his staff into conference.
He detailed four men to Boston, six
to Philadelphia and four to New Or
leans and Galveston. Twenty were
assigned to work in New York, and
six were held in reserve.
Interview every architect and
builder in these Cities" We're Ste,
vens' instructions. "Introduce YOUR
self as a writer who is preparing
an elaborate article on summer or |
country residences. Be specially So
icitous about specimens of tropical |
architecture. Then lead up to who
designed the Walter B. Hestor resi-
dence. There is special offer of
$4,000 for the reporter who locates
the architect, and the same amount
for the one who discovers the con-
tractor"
Stevens had already satisfied him
self that no humber had been loaded |
on the SHARK" He explained to his
men such facts as were necessary
for their guidance. 1t was not nee
essary to enjoin them to secrecy,
The tempting rewards were suffi-
Gent to insure that caution. Each
reporter was literally supplied with
money and they went to work with
energy.
That afternoon, the sth of May,
Chalmers Opened Hestor's desk, and
with Stevens, made minute exam

their surprise, three check books

were found on the glass-covered sur
face OF the desk. On dates from
April rs to May /. inclusive, Hestor
had drawn checks payable to him
self aggregating $4,64s,0O0.
How eauld he have amassed that
amount of cash?" asked Stevens, as
he footed up the aggregate.
"Here is memorandum which ex-
plains that" said Chalmers. He
pointed to the inside cover of one Of
the check books on which was tabu.
lated sales of bonds and stocks
amounting to $4,627,o0o,
"The Hestos estate was largely in
securities" said Chalmers. 81 re.
member Hestor told me at one time
that he owned between $4,000, 600
and $1e,ooo,ooo worth of gilt-edged
stuff"
"What did he do with the cash?'
asked Stevens, with an air which in.
dicated that he could answer his
own question.
"Street & Rogers might answer il
they would" said Chalmers. ga man
of Hestor's standing could margin
100000 shares Of stock with that
amount Of money. He was too wise
to draw checks payable to anyone
hut himself. He must have lugged
that money down there in bills. 1t
would not make much of package
in $1,000 bills. Hestor must be $780,
100000 ahead in this deal. His in.
sanity takes canny form. I would
like to be crazy awhile like that my
self"
"But how does he propose to get
out of it?"
"Give it up" said Chalmers. "It
is too deep for me. Hestor is moi
the kind to think of details like that
He goes ahead and let's consequences
take care of themselves. He did not
even take the precaution to destroy
these check books. We can trace
him like rabbit in new fall Of
snow"
Stevens now turned his attention
to such cities as Baltimore, Washing
ton and number of western cities
in the faint hope that some
clew might be found. Instructions
were cabled to London, Paris
and other European cities, and &
search made in these art centers
but nothing was learned.
Chalmers was a daily visitor at the
Carmody residence. He inspired Miss
Helen with hope, and would not lis
ten to her fears of failure. She
was anxious to fit out the Carmody
yacht, the ''Helen Carmody," and be

and his companions.

with provisions for a months
cruise, but do not start until my
men have had a chance to complete
their search. 1t is now the 18th
of the month. Give me until Tues
day, the 10th, and if we have
no news by that time we will send

know, he may be cruising in the
boundless waters of the Pacific. On
the 10th we will make public all
the facts in our possession, in
we do not in the meantime find a
definite clew. 1 do not feel justified
in doing SO, except as a last resort.
Hestor may not be guilty. His ac-
ions, SO far as we know, can all be
explained. Our evidence against him
is purely circumstantial. We will give
Hestor time to reach some port in
Europe. We have wired instructions
to every foreign harbor, and will at
once hear from him if he be inno-
cent. This is an awful CHARGE to
make against an honest man, and
we must give Hestor the benefit of
every doubt"
You are right, Mr.. Chalmers,
said Miss Helen. 81 will have the
yacht prepared for long cruise. 1t
does not seem possible that Mr.. Hes
Tor could do such a thing. He is
SO kind and generous. 1t would he
awful to falsely accuse him.
1t need not be supposed that these
daily interviews between the journal
ISL and the charming heiress were
entirely devoted to the solving of the
mystery which was the cause of their
acquaintance. Mr.. Chalmers esteemed
it his duty to direct her thoughts
to more pleasant topics, and he led
the conversation into literature and
10 the discussion of current events.
Chalmers was an entertaining talker,
with an aptitude to perceive the
grotesque side of things, and he pos
sessed the rare art of the good story
teller. few odd facts were suf-
ficient to form the theme Of mirth-
ful tale, and Chalmers was by nature
and training an adept in the art of
a narrative. He had an appreciative
listener in Miss Carmody, and uncon-
sclously she found herself waiting
for the hour when the self-possesseh
and animated Chalmers would ar
rive, and with news or fancy tighten
the monotony of the hours.

Bad Taste
in the Mouth

When you get up in the morn
ing with a coated tongue and a
bad taste in the mouth, you may
or may not be seriously i'll, but if
there is any disease going, you
will catch it.
Even though you "catch" no
definite disease, you are likely to
be worse before you are better
unless you attend to yourself.
We know what you think-frst
you are half persuaded to try
Vinol, and then you say to your
self "That's the same story all
the medicines tell; we've heard it
before"
But Vinol is not like other
medicines. If it were, we shouldn't
be talking about it.
Vinol is not secret medicine.
Any doctor will tell you that
cod liver oil (the principal ingredi-
ent in VinoD, has been the recog-
nized standard tonic and body
builder for three hundred years,
and would be to-day except that
the old kind tastes so bad folks
won't and can't take it.
Vinol is made by remarkable
chemical process which cuts out
the grease and bad taste and
leaves all the medicinal qualities
of cod liver oil intensified.
We will pay back your money
if it doesn't help you.
