Company at Nashville.
men,.

Nashville, Tenn, November 1.-Two
heavily armed men held up Melville
Wheeler, assistant cashier in the office OF
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Company, at 5 O'Clock this morning, and
secured S3 900 In money
Mr.. Wheeler reached the Office about
1:SO for the purpose of working on bis
monthly pay roll, and was in the act of
getting currency out Ofthe office safe when
a man behind commanded him to keep
quiet and presented pistol. Wheeler
sought to release himself, but was struck
over the head by billy. A second man
put In his appearance at this time and
rhed the safe, while his companion kept
guard over the cashier. Both men es-
capped, holding the cashier off with re.
volvers.
Several operators, the engineer and the
night watchmsn we're in the building at
the time, but none of them knew of the
robbery until Wheeler raised the alarm.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The result on Tuesday shows that all the
Bowens did not fall at the battle Of Kings
Mountain.
The Democrats of Tszewell always win
their victories before the election. The
Republicans win theirs Oh the day Of the
election.
Another King has been executed. His
political head is in the Republican waste
basket. So much for giving ear to bad
counsellors.
TazewelI and Buchanan counties will be
represented in the next House of Dele
gates by Royal Republican.
They may not believe it, but we are
really sorry for some of the defeated Dem
ocratic candidates.
We wish to congratulate the Repuhli-
cans of Tazewel county upon the splendid
victory they won last Tuesday.
Mr.. Payne has more cause for complaint
against his Democratic friends in Tszewel
county than he has against the Reprbli'
cans. He served them faithfully, but
they served him badly.

Mains Great Show.

The largest crowd that ever gathered
at Tazewell was here OH last Saturday to
attend Walter l. Mains great show. The
crowd has been yariOusy estimated at
from six to ten thousand. A conserva'
tive estimate would be eight thousand 1t
was the best behaved crowd Of its size
that was ever seen in this part OF the
country on a similar occasion, not a sim
gle arrest being necessary.
If there was any gambling or sharp
tricks practiced by any persons connected
with the show we have failed to hear OF
them. Mr.. Main certainly is to be con-
graduated on the cleanness of his show in
every particular.
So far as the character of the perfor'
nance was concerned it was pronounced
by many old show.goers the best they
ever attended. 1t was certainly tirst'cass
and had many unique ard interesting
features. The horses were the finest and
the best trained we have ever seen. 1t
was universally conceded that the act IN
which 70 equines were handled in Que
ring was wonderfully beautiful and full
show in itself. The elephants we're the
best trained ever exhibited here, and
showed an intelligence that was almost
human.
Another feature that created much
J favorable comment, especially with the
many old soldiers present, was the drill
of the Union Gatling Guards, an act OF
young men from the United States Ar
my, vino have happened upon one OF the
few novelties Of the period. The guards
are trained to the highest degree OF per-
fectien, and their operations with a reg
ulation gatling gun are surprisingly good
taking the piece apart, reassembling It,
and then illustrating its rapidity of fire as
if using over 500 rounds of ammunition
with smokeess powder. Unlike most act'
of Il military character its novelty is sC
pronounced that one is induced TO view i
a second time.
The bare. back riding of both the lad!
and gentleman riders was superb and th'
accrobatic performances very fine. Alto
gether the show was delightful occasion
! for the many thousands of men, womel
and children that were gathered unde
the immense tent.

CHINA APPEALS FOR FOREIGN AID.
Disturbed by Russia's ReOCCupation OF
Mukden, and Admitting heIplessness,
She Seeks Advice and Help

Peking, Nov. 1.-The Chinese Govern
ment is greatly disturbed at the reoccu-
patton of Mukden, the capital Of Man
chulia, by Russian troops The foreign
office is appealing to friendly foreign le'
cations for help and advice, admitting its
own helplessness in the matter.
The Russians returned to Mukden last
Thursday week. According to advlces re-
ceived by the Chinese Government, 1000
Russian soldiers took possession OF the
official buildings there, barricaded the
gates and evicted the Chinese officials.
There are between 10000 and 10000 CHI
nese troops In and about Mukden, but
the Chinese commanders in Manchurla
have been given imperative orders in no
wise to resist the Russian Government and
to use every effort to avert collisions.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 3.-Work will be
started on the Trigg Ship yards in the
next week or two, with 400 or more men.
These will be employed for six or eight
months, if not longer. The oil tank steam
er for the Standard Oil Company will be
finished, and it is probable that the tugs
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will also be completed. The Standard Oil
Company's bid of $4,000 for the tank
steamer was accepted by the Chancery
Court today, and plans for completing the
work have been about concluded between
the company and Receiver Meyers
Negotiations are pending for the building
of the two Pennsylvania Railroad tugs.
The tank steamer is one Of the largest

wsN1z HELD FOR 100000 RANSOM.
Prominent Man Says Stranger Called on
Missing Mans Family and Opened
Negotiations for Delivery OF
the Captive.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 1.-R. l.. Brown,
president of a coal company at Big Stone
Gap, Va, is authority for this story;
Friday afternoon young man came
here on a Louisville & Nashville train
from toward Norton, Va, and asked for
the offices of the Wentzes. He was dl'
rected to the place and was closeted with
the Wentz head detectives, DIR. John 5.
Wentz and d. B. Wentz. He told them
that Edward l.. Wentz was still alive and
was being held in the mountains Tor
ransom; that he was kept handcutfed and
taken care OF.
The stranger said be was there as
representative Of the kidnapers and they
were willing to deliver him up for $780, 900
He says that the Weutzes asked the repre-
sentative if he could produce letter
written by E. L. Wentz or some evidence
of his being aliye. The man said ne would
bring a letter written by "Ted" himself.
The man then left on return train for
Norton. He was watched at Norton,
where he stayed for some hours, and then
went tack into the Stony Mountain. He
has not yet returned and later develop
ments are awaited anxiOusly.
All the reports sent out from Georgia to
the effect that Edward L. Wentz was
married and he and his bride were In
Atlanta and other places in Georgia are
characterized by tue WeLtz family as un'
true. The great search continued in the
mountains today without throwing any
light on the mystery of Wentz's disappear
ance.
The large reward offered has brought
all the farmers and laborers for many
miles around in the search. No report
has yet been received from the representa-
tive of Bristol parties who was sent today
to conduct an investigation under the
directions of the West Virginia clairvoyant.
The investigation was to be made far up
in the mountains and the representative
probably will not return before tomorrow.
