The Aisles of the Woods.

The Aisles of the Woods.
He Is not wise who would shun the Joy
OF the life that is called alone
To roam the wood, with the heart OF spring
Soft beating against his own.
To watch the clouds as they form or fade
BY the breath of the wind-tide kissed
On the ocean blue Of boundless sky,
With its filmy veil Of mist.
To hear the minstrels OF high degree
Outpour from their eager threats
In lyric raptures, divine ana deep,
Their current of golden notes.
To touch the blades OF the keen, soft grass,
And flowers that star the sod
Children of bloom who only speak
In the vernal tongues OF God.
He is not wise who would shirk his part
In the Master Gardeners plan,
And shun the aisles Of the ardent wood
To follow the ways of man.

II is Believed That Dock Walker was
Killed or Committed Suicide,
He Has Been Missing Since Thurs
day, When he Was Last Seen
by Friends.
LATEST MYSTERY

The disappearance of Dock Walker
at Fulton last Thursday has develop
ed into quite mystery, and it now
looks very much like a case Of suicide.
Walker is young man who operated
a saw mill at Mt. Pelis, near Fulton,
and has a wife and five small child
rem.
He went TO Fulton Thursday on his
horse and calling on Mayor r. A..
Miner, of South Fulton, wanted him
to indorse a note for him, but Mayor
Miner declined. The young man ex-
claimed:
my God, Uncle Bob, If you go
back on me, it is all up / am ruin
ed"
1t seems he was unable to secure the
money, and disappeared. His horse
has never yet turned up, and his
friends, who have been securing the
woods in every direction, think that
he was either killed by some one who
thought he had money, or has COM
mitted suicide TO escape financial
ruin.
He was a very popular, strict in
morals, temperance man, and never
before was away from his home for
long at time. The murder theory
Is based ON the fact that some bad
characters near his home knew that
he was coming to the city for a
largo sum of money, and the suicide
theory is based on his disappoint-
ment when he failed to get the
money.

Nashville Man Arrested on Charge
of Killing His Wife in Ballard
Believed He Choked Her TO Death and
Then Threw Her on the
Track.
Is NOW IN JAIL AT wICKLIFFE

News Of dastardly murder in Bal
lard county reached the city today on
the noon train, a great deal OF excite
ment prevailing in the locality where
1t is alleged to,have occurred.
Early yesterday morning the man
gled body OF Mrs. Ida Edwards was
found near Ballard Junction, Ballard
county, not far from East Cairo. A
short time afterwards her husband,
Tom Edwards, made his appearance
and claimed that they were walking
along the track when a train came
along and struck her.
He, also, to others denied being pres.
ent when she was killed. Edwards
claims Nashville as his home and at
wicklifIe Saturday evening he and the
woman had a fight but apparently
made up and started to continue their
journey.
An examination revealed the ia 81
that the woman's neck bore discolora-
tions such as would result from being
choked to death and 1t is believed that
her husband ohoked her to death and
placed her body on the track to make
people believe she was killed by a
train.
The evidence is so strong that the
ooroner's jury held him responsible
aud he is in Jail at wickliffe
Very little is known OF the man and
woman. He is 40 years old and she is
about 40, and she was formerly Miss
Ida Davis, Of Sparta, Tenn.

Efforts Abandoned to Get the Savan-
nah off the Bar.
The Harry Brown Broke Q Big Line
Yesterday in Working at the
Stranded Steamer.
UNCERTAIN WHEN LIBERATED

Efforts have ceased to release the
new steamer City OF Savannah from
the sand reef nine miles above Padu-
cab near Cottonwood bar. She ran
aground, as told Saturday, early Sat-
urday morning while on her way from
Jacksonville, where she had Just been
completed, to st. Louis to enter the
st. Louis and Tennessee River trade
for the st. Louis and Tennessee River
Packet Company. She stuck fast. and
the rapidly falling river soon made
her position firm.
Efforts were at once made to pull
her of. The Mary N. went up from
the city and worked Saturday and yes
terday, and assistance was rendered by
the Avalon, the John S. Hopkins, and
other boats, to no avail.
Yesterday afternoon the big tow
boat Harry Brown in passing up stop
ped and attempted to get her off, part
ing three inch line in the effort, but
could not bulge her.
1t was then decided that it was use
less to make further effort to dislodge
her, and rise in the river will have
to be awaited. When this rise will
come is matter Of conjecture.
There is little prospect of it now, and
usually there is no more water at this
season until fall
There are slight rises In both the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, but
not enough to affect the Ohio. The
Mississippi is falling. and taking the
water out Of the Ohio very rapidly. It
would require q rise of two feet to
liberate the Savannah at present, il
the river were not falling rapidly.
Captain James Roger, of the city,
superintendent of the company, is still
aboard the boat She is lying on .
gravel bottom, and Captain Frank
Brown, local agent of the company,
stated this morning that little or no
damage could result to the elegant
new steamer from being stranded,
although the delay may prove quite
costly to the company.
In the construction of the City of
Savannah, neither pains nor expense
has been spared to make her perfect
in all her appointments. She is 200
feet long. So feet beam and feet
hold. Her engines are 17-inch cylin-
ders, feet stroke. She has three
ten-lued steel BOILERS. each 90 feet
long and A inches in diameter. They
are made Of Parker Brothers Black
Diamond steel, 29.100 in thickness.
Her deck mechanical department is
complete. She has complete cleo
trio light plant, furnishing arc and in
candesoent lights for the cabin, deck
and hull. She has a full length hand.
some cabin containing thirty five large
rooms, full length texas and on top
Of that the pilot house. The hull is
well built, Of graceful model, and she
is as complete freight and passenger
as Howard ever built.

A Cincinnati Man Left It There and
il was Found by Laundryman.
A Portion Of 1t Recovered From the
Young Man, who Had Spent
a Part Of it.
sllo RESTORED BY YOUNG LADY

Mr.. George E. Spencer, of Cincin-
natl, man interested in the manu-
facture of coat racks for hotels, reach
ed the city Friday on business and
secured room at the Palmer house.
He is an elderly gentleman of good
address, but evidently slightly absent
minded.
Saturday morning he sent his laun-
dry out by boy, forgetting that he
had s240, four fifty dollar bills and
four tens, sewed up in his underwear.
He did not send it to the laundry that
does the hotel work regularly, but to
the Star Laundry, on North Fourth
street. Saturday night it was deliv-
cred at tho hotel Office, paid Tor and
sent to Mr.. Spcncer's room. He then
happened to think Of the money he
had sewed up in the clothing sent out
that morning, and knew that it could
not still be there.
He hastily went down stairs, appris-
ed the clerk of what had happened
and SEQ uring directions went to the
laundry. He reported the matter to
the propri etor, but at that time moth
ing could be learned of what had be-
come of the money. The matter was
reported to Captain Henry Bailey at
police headquarters, who went to
work on the case.
Suspicion seemed to settle ON Ed
Dossett, the young man who checks
off the clothing as it is brought into
the laundry, but he could not be
found. Chief Collins was told of the
case early yesterday morning, and at
once started to working on it. He
searched high and low for Dossett,
finally learning that he had gone to
Mayfield Saturday night, returned
here Sunday morning and taken the
early NJ, G. and st. L. train for
Hardin, Marshall county, his for
mer home.
Chief Collins also learned that Dos
set had given enc of the wagon drivers
at the laundry $40 of the money,
which was recovered. Last night Dos
sett came in at $50 O'Clock and was
at once arrested and taken before
Chief Collins. He had told several
stories about the money, but finally
confessed that he found the money,
gave $40 to the driver, bought some
new clothing at Mayfeld. paid u num-
Der of his debts in Marshall and
gave s110 to his girl at Hardin, to
keep for him. He was told that il he
would return the money, he would
doubtless be paid for finding it, and
not prosecuted.
He was kept at headquarters all
night, and this morning, in charge of
Captain Henry Bailey. went to HAr-
din on the early morning train to get
the $40, which will make s1se Of
the ea40 recovered.
Captain Bailey returned this after
noon with Dossett, having secured the |
sii0 without any difficulty. 1t was
turned over to Mr.. Spencer, and it is
thought the young mans relatives
will make mp the balance and return
Il to the owner and avoid prosecution.
