Abingdon's Nasty Alleged to Have
Opened Patrons Letters.

Packwood, Jan. 5.-The postofice
inspector was at Abingdon on Tues
day to examine the condition of af-
fairs connected with the postmaster.
Charges of opening and reading let
tiers were preferred by parties against
Postmaster Ed Best. Also graver
offenses, it is alleged, were commit
ted by him.
Mrs. Jennie Snider, who was assist
ant postmaster at one time, testified
to the inspector Tuesday, in the pres
ence of witnesses, that she saw Mr..
Best open three letters; that she read
them, but had no part in opening
them.
The case will be tried in the Janu-
airy term of court. 1t is hoped that
Mr.. Best, who has heretofore borne
an unblemished reputation, may clear
himself.

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself, even
when but slightly disordered or over
loaded. Kodol supplies the natural
juices of digestion and does the work
of the stomach, relaxing the nervous
tension, while the infamed muscles of
that organ are allowed to rest and
heal. Kodol digests what you eat and
enables the stomach and digestive or
gans to transform all food into rich,
red blood.

ARTISTS.
Two Talented Students Who are
Meeting Success.

For a few days our citizens will OBJ
serve on exhibit IN the window of Mr..
Foehlinger's store an excellent paint
ing Of President Rosenberger. 1t is
by Worthie e. Hagerman. It will be
remembered that while he was a stu
dent in the Sophomore class of Penn
college during the Christmas vacation
Unree years ago he produced an ad-
mirable copy Of "Dante's Dream"
which his classmates presented to
Penn college. For more than two
years Mr.. Hagerman has been a student
in the Art Institute of Chicago where
he has been very successful. Among
about 1000 students he has taken first
place in the Portrait Concur under
Lawton s. Parker, the best young ar
fist in America. He will complete his
work with high honors in June. His
best painting is the one accepted by
the American Artists Exhibition at
Chicago, whose collection of works is
selected by competent judges in Paris,
New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and Chicago. This picture is one of
the first that were sold. Mr.. Hager-
nan is mingling for a short while
among his friends about the college.
The picture of President Rosenberger
has been painted since he arrived last
week.
Miss Dulah M. Evans, of this city,
has also been one of the finest stu
dents in the Art Institute of Chicago,
where she reached the highest class
before the serious illness of her broth
er took her to Arizona. For two years
she was away from all art work. Last
October she again entered the Art In
stitute and was Immediately given a
class to teach and has done splendid
work under Lawton S. Parker, of
Paris, France, who is spending five
months as a special teacher at the
Institute.

MADE DEAL ON DEATH BED.
Strange Transaction Between Will
liam ROck kefeIler and the Late
Marcus Daily.

peculiar business transaction in
which William Rockefeller and the
late Marcus DAILY were concerned has
just come to hight. 1t seems that
when the Montana copper king was
lying at the point Of death he had
on deposit in the National City bank
one account amounting to $197.995,
and a special account of $1,3OO.518.
A singular thing in connection
with the special deposit of 81 ,3OO,51s
in the National City bank is that it
was opened only few days before
Mr.. Daly's death in the form of
check of William Rockefeller for
money which he owed to Mr.. DAILY
as result of transactions in which
both men were interested, but the
nature of which is not disclosed, says
New York report.
1t is understood that it was Mr..
Daly's intention to use this money
in the purchase of the Amalgamated
Copper company, of which he owned
at the time he died 6730O shares.
Claims amounting to 81. 100000 are
pending against Mr.. Daly's estate,
the chief of which is in an action
brought by the United States against
the estate to recover $1,365, 900 for
trespass on government lands and
the conversion of timber removed
from it, p. j. Shields also has
claim against the estate for s25S, 900.
He claimed to have been a partner
with Mr.. DAILY in coal mine and
some other enterprises. John II. Ma
loney and others have an action
pending in the Montana courts to
recover $4,000.

GERMANY'S AIR BATHS.
A New Fad That Is Being Followed
by the FashiOnables of
Berlin.

"Air baths" are all the rage in
fashionable Berlin just now. We
all know what necessary factors
light and air are for the mainte-
nance of health. The Berlin air
baths have the great advantage of
being pleasant as we'll as healthy,
and many of the society ladies Of
the German capital have taken them
up. The scenes now reproduced were
photographed at the Berlin insti-
tute, which started this open air
idea, and which has already become
famous both in Europe and Amer
lea, says Golden Penny.
Even the tiniest children are taken
to these "bat this as well as young
girls and more elderly ladies.
The main object, Of course, is to
exercise both the muscles and the
lungs at the same time, and the
nondescript kind of bathing dress
which is worn allows the ladies a
delightful sense of freedom while
practicing their gymnastic feats or
playing at gardening in the grounds.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
the garden is kept as secluded as
possible. Surrounded by high walls,
it is situated in quiet locality just
outside the city.

ONE OF DOUGLAS PISTOLS.
Derrtnger That Belonged to the Fn-
nous IllinOis Statesman Has
Been Located.

A Derringer pistol, with an unusual
history, has come into the possession
Of Col. Walter French, the file clerk
of the house of representatives He
found it not long ago in pawnshop
and promptly observed that the in
scription on the handle of the weapon,
IS. \. Douglas" was probably the
name of Stephen A. Douglas, long
prominent democratic figure in con-
gress in the ante-bellum times, says
the Washington Post.
Having purchased the weapon, he
made Inquiries from Col. James Madi-
son Cults. of this city. kinsman by
marriage of Mr. Douglas, who recog
nized the Derringer as one of pair
that Mr. Douglas owned during the ex
citing political events preceding Lin
coins inauguration. 1t seems that
pair Of these pistols, such as men were
accustomed to wear in those days,
one in each of two small top pockets
in the trousers, was presented to Mr..
Douglas by the superintendent of the
lIarper's Ferry arsenal. These were
subsequently, taken to Louisiana,
whore il was discovered that the
springs were fashioned so that the
hammer would not explode the per
cussion cap. This defect in mechanism
was corrected.
In just what manner the pistol was
secured from the possession of Mr..
Douglas is not known. Col Cults has
the mate to it. which the great demo-
crat presented to him.

HATS MADE OF RICE STRAW.
A New Industry About to Be Estab-
lished by Japanese in the
Southern States.

According to Col. S. F.. B. Morse, gen
eral tratnc manager of the Southern
Pacific railroad, the japanese colony
at Port Lavaca will establish a plant
for the manufacture of mating and
hats from rice straw, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. The Japan
ese are the pioneer rice growers of the
world, and cultivate the staple on a
more scientific basis than the Ameri
can farmer. In Japan every product
of the rice crop is utilized to some pur-
pose, while in the United States the
planter relies entirely upon the rice
proper for his home.
"The japanese of Port Lavaca," said
Col. Morse, will soon begin the manu-
facture of japanese mating and the
finest of hats from rice straw, and it is
only a question of time till our own
rice planters in Texas and Louisiana
will take up this industry, thus making
the south the center Of supply for mat
ting and straw hats of the finest tex
ture and manufacture. The best mat
tings in the world are made in Japan,
while the high grades Of the rice straw
hats are known the world over. There
are several kinds of grass growing
along the gulf, so the japanese tell me
that can be utilized for making mat
ting of good grade. They tell me it
is identical with that used in Japan
for this purpose and there is no reason
why this should not become a paying
industry in Louisiana and Texas"

more than a drop in the bucket. The
Chinese trade is not now a dollar per

majority. The fact is that the peo-
