BOTH YOUNG MEN LOVED
THE SAME WOMAN.
They Fought With knives and They
VIII Probably Die,

Huntington, w. Va, Dec. 30.--James
Chambers, a prominent young man
living in Barboursville, is dying, and
George Thompson of HUFF Creek. Lo-
gan county, is thought to be mortalIy
wounded, the result of a duel with
knives, fought near Logan, Logan
county, this morning.
The men were both employed by a
prominent lumber company and for
several weeks had been at outs over
the fact that both loved the same
young woman. This morning they
met and hot words passed. Each drew
knife and they plunged at each 9TH
err
Chambers was the first to fall, hav-
ing his body punctured in half dog
EN- places, the keen blade OF his an
tagonist's knife having at one stroke
almost completely disemboweIed him.
Before he fell he inflicted injuries to
Thompson that will, II seems certain,
cause his death.
Thompson attempted to escape, but
fell less than 200 yards from the
scene of the tragedy from the loss of
blood.
Chambers is from one of the most
prominent families In this county and
had been employed as bookkeeper. The
tragedy Is one of the bloodlest known
in Logan county in years.

BEST YEAR IN TRADE
RECORD OF 1902 STANDS ABOVE
THAT OF THE PAST.
THE UNITED STATES STRIDES
IN ALL BRANCHES OF TRADE
WE'RE ENORMOUS.

Bradstreet's Review of the Business
in the Commercial History of the
COuntry-In Many Cases Foreign
Demands Had to be Ignored he
cause of the Domestic Demands.
Industrial Unrest Did Not Prove
HurtfuI.
New York. Dec. S0.-Bradstreets re-
view of the business year, to be issued
Saturday next, will have the follow
ing:
ITO say that 1902 was the best year
this country has ever experienced,
while truthful enough in the main, does
not suggest fully the enormous strides
which the United States took in the
year just closed. Practically every
branch of ordinary trade and manufac-
ture showed an increase above the best
of the previous years, and yet this i'm
p1ense enlargement of output was not
sufficient of itself to satisfy the grow
ing, it might be termed Unsuitable, de-
mand for all kinds of materials.
I'm many cases the usual foreign out
let for our products was. perforce,
neglected by American producers, who
confined their efforts to supplying in
sistent domestic demands. while in
others foreign production was called
upon to reinforce domestic output, with
the result that new currents and chan
nels were created in our foreign trade.
Our export trade, therefore, shrank,
while our imports expanded to UMPIRE
cedented figures. The railroads of the
country in their efforts to handle the
business offered them suffered as never
before from congestion, and complaint
of interference with production and
distribution of the products of the
farm. the mine, the shop and the loom
was practically universal
Industrial unrest was naturally
marked, as it always is in times either
of prosperity or of depression, and
serious disorganization of some of the
country's basic industries resulted for
a time. In many cases, however, re-
sort to extremes was avoided or rem
dered unnecessary by liberal recogni-
ton by employers nf changes IN the
standard of living. and it is safe to
say that two men obtained higher
wages or had their working time re-
duced without resort to strikes for
every one who actually quit work.
Speculation, it is true, felt the
checks imposed upon it by conserva-
tism, by short crops in the preceding
year, and last, but not least, by high
rates for money, but despite the fact
that stock market operations were
only about one-half those of 1901,
banking clearings, those usually re-
liable guides of business, showed ag-
gregates practically equal to the hith-
erto unheard of totals of 1901. All this
was accomplished with a minimum of
friction, as reflected in the form of
business embarraSsments"

FOR SALE BY LIPPMAN DRUG COMPANY.
DRUGGISTS ARE HAPPY.
Those Who Sell Alcohol Do Not Hase
to Pay $500.

Columbus, Ca, Dec. 3o.-A load has
been lifted from the minds of Column
bus druggists by letter just received
by Tax Collector Andrews from Con-
troller General Wright. in which the
former is instructed not to collect the
5000 special retail whiskey license from
druggists who sell alcohol.
Nearly all the drug stores sell alco-
hol and pay revenue tax of S25 to
the United States government. and a
few days ago the tax collector, act
ing under instructions from Atlanta,
asked them to pay the state $500 us a
retail whiskey license. The Controller
General was communicated with, and
the explanation was made that this
revenue tax was paid solely for the
privilege of selling alcohol and not
any spirituous liquors.
The tax collector does not think that
the drug stores can sell malt extract
without paying special license. The
druggists regard malt as a proprietary
preparation, and do not think 1t should
be classed as a liquor.

FIRE AT QUITMAN.
Quitman Grocery Company Build
ing Was Destroyed

Quitman, Ga, Dec. 30.-Quitman has
suffered another Sunday night fire. A
track warehouse on the South Georgia
and West Coast Railway, occupied by
the Quitman Grocery Company, burn
ed to the ground. practically nothing
being saved.
One of the members of the firm was
among the first to reach the fire and
found the rear door of the building
open, which would indicate that rob-
berry was the cause. The electric light
current was turned of, and 1t is likely
that the thieves struck matches to
find what they wanted and dropped
them among infiammable goods. 1t Is
not likely that they would have set
the fire Intentionally, as a bridge gang
was occupying three camp cars within
twenty feet of the building. 1t was
with difficulty that the camp cars and
the home of Mr.. r. C. Creech were
saved
The loss is about $4,000, partly cover
ed by insurance. The building was the
property of Mr.. j. w. Oglesby, Jr.. and
was worth about $1,000, with $500 insur-
ance.

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
why 1T Disasrees with some People

When one needs reviving stimulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the
effects of hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they cannot digest
milk, and these are the people who
drink it down quickly so that the di-
gestive acids, in playing around it,
form large curdS which give trouble
before they can be absorbed
The right way is to sip the milk in
small amounts. so that each mouthful.
as it descends into the stomach, is
surrounded by the gastric fluid, and
when the whole glassful Is down the
effect is that of spongy mass of
curds. in and out of which the keen
gastric juices course, speedily doing
their work of turning the curd into
peptones that the tissues can take up.
TO make sure of complete digestion
take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin and
diastase they contain increase the guam
tity and efficiency of the gastric juices
and supply the natural digestive fer
ments which all weak stomachs lack.
Miss Anna Folger. a professional
nurse, speaking of the value Of Stuart's
Tablets in conyalescence says: In
adult patients recovering from severe
illness and especially in children where
milk disagrees, one or two tablets oy-

WAS A BOLD GAME
THAT A TRAIN ROBBER TRIED
sINGLE-HANDED.
LITTLE BOOTY, MAYBE A BALL
REWARDED HIS DARING ATTEMPT
AT LOUISVILLE.

Conductor j. ID. Keene of the Louis
VILE and Nashville Was stunned
BY a Bullet from the Robbers Piss
toI-Rccovered Later and Pur-
sued Him With a Winchester.
Thinks One Shot Took Enect-Rob-
Der Boarded the Train, Was Put
OF and Boarded Again.
Louisville, Dec. S0.-A bold attempt
was made by lone robber to hold
up the New Orleans-Cincinnat north
bound express of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad as the train was
entering South Louisville at 2:3O
o'clock this morning The highwayman
secured but little booty. and is be-
lieved to have been shot by the con-
ductor. J. D. Keene.
Keene was going through the sleep
er, in which were the porter, the Pull
man conductor and one passenger, J.
e. Moore. A masked man sprang at
Kesne from a dark corner and COM
manded him to throw up his hands.
Keene, instead, grappled with the in
truder. A bullet from the robbers
pistol stunned him, and the highway
man pulled the signal corn.
While the train was slowing down
he robbed the Pullman conductor and
Mr.. Moore, securing SIS from the lat
ter. AS the train stopped the robber
left the car.
Conductor Keene meanwhile had re-
covered his senses, and having secur-
ed Winchester, left the train in pur-
suit of his assailant. He fired several
shots at the latter, and after one of
them the robber uttered cry of pain.
Keene believes his shot went true.
Conductor Keene was removed to a
hospital. Els wound, however, is not
serious. He is said to be the strong
est man in Louisville, and was at one
time national champion in several
amateur athletic classes.
No trace of the robber whom Mr..
Keene declares he shot, had been
found up to noon.
The statements of Conductor Keene
and Pullman Conductor BEDFORD are
positive that but one man was con-
cerned in the robbery. The train crew
say the robber got on the train at
Lebanon Junction, but they put him
off at the next station and did not
know he had caught the last car.

Are Again Paraded In the San Diego
Trial.


San Diego, Cal, Dec 3O.-The depo-
sition of Mrs. George F. Mohn, of Los
Angeles, which was introduced yester-
day, was before the court to-day when
the TingleyTimes libel suit was re-
sumed. The only fact admitted was a
statement by the deponent that under
the rules promulgated by Mrs. Tingley,
the meals at the institution were eaten
in silence.

the limit of life, limb, wealth and in
ffuence.
The deponent was present at the
ceremony of the laying of the corner
stone of the school for the revival of
the lost mysteries of antiquity Mrs.
Egbert said that during the midnight
laying of the cornerstone on the Holy
HILL" most of the participants stood
with fingers on lips while the wind
whistled around us. 1t was very cold"
Next was offered tie deposition of
Mrs. Emily Penning of Los Angeles,
who had twice been at Point Iona,
once at the cornerstone laying and
once at the congress. She described the
cornerstone laying, as very long and
very fatiguing.
I'VE stopped a great many times,
turning to the east, and placing our
fingers to our lips" she said
She added that there were old and
young people in the procession. Sew
eral tainted on the way, and were
taken from the scene. The members
of the cabinet wore robes.
Mrs. Penning told of having been
made to Sit on the floor for hours
without any support. The long medi-s
tations, Mrs. Penning said, were si-
lent sittings, in which most of those
who participated held their fingers
upon their lips
This deposition was followed by that
of B. F. Hilliker of Los Angeles, a re-
tired business man, who gave similar
testimony
Miss Matilda Kratzer of San Diego,
called by the defense, told of attend
ing meetings of the Daughters of the
Rising Sun, at which, like the others,
she wore a roge of cheesecloth cut in
Grecian form, with. the neck and arms
bare. She said the costume of the
craftsmen was bare from the knees
down and that the feet were shod

INVITING INDUSTRIES.
vaIdosta's Council Adopts q Liberal
Policy.

Valdosta, Ga. Dec. 30.-At a meeting
of the Mayor and aldermen last night
a committee from the Board of Trade.
consisting of Messrs. T. G. Crawford,
W. P. Borough and "A. s. Pendleton,
appeared before the Council to ask
special concessions for one or two fac
tories that are seeking a location here.
The board met the request with res
olution, unanimously passed, offering
to give sites free for the erection of
new factories by foreign capitalists. 1t
also agrees to extend the water mains
and the electric lights and give a linz
tied exemption from taxation, though
these favors depend to some extent
upon the size and importance of the
factories.
The idea of the resolution Is to show
that Valdosta invites foreign enter
prises to come to the city, and also
that no barriers will be raised against
capitalists who have money to put in
industrial enterprises here.

Columbia, Dec 30.--Columbia's vol

Council to have a paid department.
The firemen have for several years
been fighting this proposition. They
have been costing the city about two
thirds the amount required for a paid
department and were disposed to be
very independent.
The volunteer firemen claim title to
considerable real estate and fire appa-
ratus that will also be claimed by the
city, so that law suit is not unlikely
to follow the change.
