Is r. /. Miller in Davenport. did he
marry Ida May or Ida Chambers in
1898, and if so, was divorce ever OBJ
tanned? These are the questions. that
are agitating the mind of n supposed
husband of Mrs. Miller at the pres
ent time. Mrs. Miller and her hus-
band live in bloomington. and it would
seem from the letter that the woman
has done something to arouse
the suspicion of the man she
married there during the month
of May and he has placed the
case in the hands of George T. Jordan,
an attorney in that city. Jordan has
written to the county clerk asking
him to search the marriage records
and see if the woman was ever mar
ried to Il. l.. Miller. as she claims she
was, and also he wants to know if
divorce was ever obtained in this
county. Jordan states that if the
suspicious that she never obtained
divorce are true the matter is to be
put in the hands of the states attor-
ney and Mrs. Miller may have diff
cult time proving that she was a grass
widow when she married her second
man.

GOLD IN THE SOUTH
RECORDS LOWEST OF THE PRES
 ENT WINTER.
Little Suffering Has Resulted and Nearly Everywhere the Supply of Fuel Is Sufficient to
 Meet the Demands.

Louisville. Ky. Jan. B.-rhe coldest weather of the winter prevailed today in many parts Of the South, but little suffering has been reported owing to the fact that the supply of fuel Is generally sufficient to meet the demands.
 The lowest temperature recorded in this city today was degrees above zero at o'clocw this morning and the thermome- ter has hovered near the zero mark all day. Continued cold weather is predict ed and 1t is feared that traffic on the Ohio River at thls point will be sus- pended by tomorrow on account of the large quantity of floating ice. The price of coal was advanced two cents a bushei at Pittsburg today. Trains are still arriv- ipg in Louisville behind schedule time.
 Reports from the south show the fol- lowing minimum temperatures: Atlanta, 21; Birmingham. q; Montgomery. 26; Vicksburg. "A; Memphis, 20; Nashville, A; Chattanooga, 20; Knoxville, 15 and Little Rock %.

PUBLICITY ISN'T ALL.
Other Action Must Strike at the
 Roots of the Trust.

Nashville. Tenn, Jan. Ex-Governor Mo Milan retires from office this month after an incumbency of four years, and his last message was presented to the General Assembly todAy. Among other things the message recommends that manual and industrial training be made a part of the common school system and that school of technology be establish ed In some of the State institutions. The contiI uation of the convict lease system is also recommended An approp iation for an exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is strongly urged and the mes- sage declares that Tennessee can make such an exhibit of coal. iron, copper. marble, phosphate. building stone. timber and agricultural products as can be sur rassed by no State in the UnioE. If equall- ed, by any
 On the subject of trusts, Governor Mo- Milan says:
 Our people have no prejudices that would cause them to urge enactment of laws discouraging the use of capital how ever large the amount for industrial de- vedepment. Against this there can be no complaint, but combinations to crush competition. restriction production and thereby enhance the price of necessities are prejudiced and demand the wisest legislation
 The message declares that to Congress must be left the application of those remedies against trusts which exist by reason of a protective tariff. but that there are on the State statutes strenuous laws against trusts for the efficient en- forcement of which a fund should be set aside to be used by the government or attorney general or both acting CO., jointly. The message declares that some thing can be done by requiring all organi- zations of this kind doing business in the State to show the Secretary of State all the essential facts concerning their capi- taliZation. bonded indebtedness, receipts, expenditures, etc, but that it will take more than publicity to reach the root of the evil in many cases.
 Governor McMillan defends his action in refusing to, call an extra session of the Legislature to deal with the contemplat- ed railroad merger upon the ground that tho evigencies of the case were not iml perative and says that any consolidation of competing lines in Tennessee which would result in destroying competition, could not be other than detrimental, and recommends that such legislation be en- acted as will best subserve the interests of the State.

MRS. T1NoLEY GETS 7,ooo.
Result of Famous Libel Suit in Cali
 fnrnia.


 San Diego. Cal, Jan. 2.-The jury in the $5OOOO libel suit of Mrs. Tingley against The Los Angeles Times brought in a verdict this evening finding for Mrs. Tingley in the sum of T.o00.
 Judge Terrence in his charge to the jurors stated that there had been no legal proof furnished in support of the follow ing allegation:
 That numerous outrages were commit ted by plaintiff and under her direction at Point Loma; that people were depriv- ed of liberty; children and women starv- ed; women imprisoned in cells and that Mrs. Tingley was a spirltualistic medium and an imposter.
 The court further declared there was no proof that Mrs. Tingley had caused par ents and children to be separated and kept the children in confinement or that there was immoral practices at the home, The court instructed the court to regard all of the above allegations as false.
 Further the court said: The subject of the constitutional liberty of the press and the suggestion that the publication in The Los Angeles Times was a privi- legged communication because 1t referred to the conduct and management of a quasi-public institution were not suggest ed by the defendants answer, nor by any previous contention of the defendant but were first referred to by his counsel in his argument to the jury. In the opin- ion of the court there are no facts or circumstances in this case which give the defendant any legal right to have these questions considered by the Jury. Nor Is 1t the opinion of the court that either the progress of Christian civilization or the principles of the Christian religion are involved in the issues in this case, unless it be said that Gods command Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighor Is the underlying principle which tustifes the enactment and en- forcement of the law of libel"

Cold in ohin va1lsu-

Cincinnati. Jan. 12.-According to spe- cials received here, zero weather pre- vailed throughout the Ohio Valley today, but tonight it is moderating. This was the coldest weather of the season and oc- casioned much suffering at a number of points on account of the scarcity of coal. This is especially true of the towns in the interior who depend upon the rail- roads for their coal. The towns along the Ohio River are well supplied, but the prices have been advanced, owing to the heavy demand. due to the cold weather.
 Tho Ohio River continues to fall from Pittsburg down, and 1t is crowded with ice Navigation of the river in this vi- cinity has been suspended tonight on acc coount of the floating ice and the indica- tions are that it will be several days be. fore trafic can be resumed.
