His Second Failure.

Mitchell Newbold returned to his
old home here last Saturday from a
point in the country some four miles
back from Miami where he had a
four-acre tract of promising toma-
toes drowned out by the heavy rains
of some three weeks ago. His to-
mato crop at the time of the heavy
rains was within two weeks of ma
turity, and had it not been for them
he would now be shipping and real
izing heavy returns. Hundreds of
acres of tomatoes in that section
were ruined by the water which al
most covered the tops of the vines.
The disaster, Mr.. Newbold says, is
widespread and has come as a sad
blow upon hundreds of growers who
seemed to have fortune almost
within their grasp. Merchants will
also suffer heavily, as they were
carrying many of the growers, and
who will now be unable to pay. Mr..
Newbold says that all of the Cres-
cent City people who went to the
east coast to better themselves will
come out at the little end of it the
same as himself. The business must
be fascinating, for Mr.. Newbold says
he is going to try it one more season.

A GOOD THING.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
tlon of DR.. A. Boschee, celebrated
German physician, and is acknowledged
to be one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and leav-
ing the parts in strong and healthy
condition. 1t is not an experimental
medicine, but has stood the test OF
years, giving satisfaction In every case,
which its rapidly increasing sale every
confirms. Two million bottles sold an
nually. Boschee's German Syrup was
introduced In the United States in 1868,
and is now sold in every town and village
in the civilized world. Three doses will
relieve any ordinary cough. Price 25 and
rs cents at Lound's drug store, Crescent
City. G. G. Green, Woodbury., N. j.

Lecture Postponed.

The DR.. Forbes lecture which was
to have been delivered at the Presby-
terian church last Friday night did
not come off, owing to the desire on
the part of DR.. Forbes to postpone.
1t may also be said in this connec-
tion that there was q strong desire
on the part of many that the lecture
be postponed indefinitely, while
others thought the more indefinite
the future date, the better.
The church was engaged in Sc
ries of revival meetings and there
was deep and widespread interest in
them, and to break into these meet
ings with mere literary lecture, the
lecturer himself being under cloud,
would have operated as very wet
blanket to the fire of religious zeal
which pervaded the town.

Mr.. M. II. Read has sold the beau
tiful house and grounds of James A.
Close on Prospect street to J. w,
Hawkins of City Island, New York
City, who, with Mrs. Hawkins, is
spending the season here.
Owing to the serious illness of Mrs.
Close and the necessity of the fami-
ly's moving to AsheVille, N. G. the
house has been vacant for the past
two months. The nature of Mrs
Closes illness is such that there was
no likelihood of the family ever
using their residence again, and this
constituted the only reason for the
sale. 1t is one of the most beautiful
houses in Crescent City, the grounds
covering all entire block, the house
being surrounded with beautiful
lawns, ornamental shade trees,
shrubbery and flowers, and the en-
closure containing 400 bearing orange
trees.
To keep up such place at a dis
tance is unsatisfactory, and realizing
this, Mr.. Close determined to sell
the place at low price for cash.
The consideration was $500. 1t is
worth nearly double that amount of
money.
Mr.. Hawkins expects to occupy
the place large part of the year,
and the people of Crescent City are
glad to welcome him among the in
habitants. Mr.. Hawkins is man of
wealth and will not let the beauti-
full place he has purchased deterior-
ate.

Popular education is to be real
lied here in America through a
great many more agencies than
were dreamed of in our fathers
time. Perhaps the greatest agency
is the newspaper, but for specific
knowledge the mail cources of cor
responence schools, in every branch
of learning fits those who are now
out of school and in the regular
walks of life for the things they
have an interest in, at which they
are more liable to succeed than the
line they may have been forced by
circumstances to follow. The cir
culating library, the cheap editions
of standard works and cheap post
age. But for the children now i'll
school, the manual training schools
being established and to be estab-
lished are factors equally potent to
this rising generation as the log

ience (Which after all is nothing
but education) that is at hand for

Hard Coal r1ine at Anthracite.

tenths miles northwest of Crested
Butte, in the central part of Gun
nison County, Colorado, 1905
miles south and west of Denver, on
the Crested Butte branch of the
narrow gauge system of the d. &
r. G.. r. r. Anthracite shares
with Floresta the distinction of be-
ing the highest of The Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company camps,
the altitude being 10000 feet above
sea level. The mine is located
high upon the PERCEPTIONS side of
wooded mountain and the break
er is at the base of an incline 1900
feet long.
This mine was located twenty -one
years ago. 1t was opened up in
1882 by George Holt, now of Chi
cago; Howard +. Smith. now of
Elkhart, Indiana, and DR.. Bell, of
Colorado Springs. These gentle
men erected the breaker and in
stalled other needed machinery and
operated the mine for several years,
when it was acquired by the White
breast Fuel Company. in which the
Messrs. Kebler were interested.
Shortly afterwards the c. F. u L.
Co. secured possession of the pro-
perty and has since held it and
worked the mine steadily.
The vein averages from three to
four feet in thickness and the coal
is of excellent quality, comparing
favorably with the best anthracite
produced in Pennsylvania. An av-
erage number of sixty miners has
been employed and an approximate
production of 5000 tons monthly
maintained. At present only forty
are employed. A spur of the ID. d.
r. G.. r. r. from Crested Butte
connects with the breaker, thus
providing good transportation IA
cilities. The incline from the mine
to the breaker is l,S0O feet in
length, with pitch of 45 degrees,
and is by far the longest and steep
est in Colorado. The gravity sys-
tenn is employed, and it is a fine
sight to see at the same time cars
making the ascent and descent at
high rate of speed. The mine
haulsge is accomplished by means
of steam engines and cable and is
based upon system calculated to
give the best of service. The mine
being located upon a mountain side
necessarily limits the room for hab-
itation, but neverless the company
has provided ample accommoda-
tions, and everything is orderly
and well-kept.
The Colorado Supply Company
operates the boarding house in
connection with it's store, and is
managed by G. p. Wilson.
William Gordon is superinten-
dent of the mine and breaker, and
pit boss. He is ably assisted by
Henry Funder, breaker boss. Ed

Policeman Found Dead.

John s. Connor, popularly known as Big Jack" veteran of the Little Rock police force, was found dead in his room, and his negro servant, Levi Harper, has been held to the grand jury on charge of murder. Connor had been dead several hours when his body was found. The cor oner's inquest developed the fast that Harper bought a quantity of mor- phine the day of Connor's death. It was supposed that the negro put the morphine into some whisky which Connor drank. Harper claimed that Connor committed sui eide. It is known that the latter had been drinking heavily and was in poor health. Connor had been a member of the Little Rock police force for thirteen years and was the biggest man on the force.

Suits Follow Bank Failure.

Suit has been begun at Nashville by several depositors of the defunct Howard County bank against R. L. Skillern, J. s. Corn, c. V. Loewen- berg and w. P. Feazel, stockholders, to require them to return the money received for their stock which, it is alleged, they sold to D. P. Terry, the cashier, two or three days be- fore the bank closed its doors. Suits have been instituted also against all stockholders, requiring them to re- fund all dividends received since 1896, and against J. $. Grumbles, president, and D. P. Terry, cashier, for all debts of the bank, alleging that they failed to file annual re- ports of the condition of the bank as required by law.
