Bristol, Va. May 9.-The body Of f. L.
Kelly View, Wise county Virginia Sun
day afternoon by Dave Raleigh. miner
employed at Blackwood, Va. while hunt
ing a lost COW. lies tonight identieally as
1t was first seen, and around 1t stands a
guard of twenty-five men under command
of superintendent Arthur Foster of the
Osaka company of the Virginia Coal and
Iron company The body has not been
disturbed In any way and will not be un-
til tomorrow, when ID. B. Wentz and j.
l.. Wentz, brothers of the dead man, ar
rive on the scene. They are en- route to-
night In a special train from Philadel-
phia.
No inquest has been held and will not
be until the brothers are on tne scene.
Upon making the CHASTITY discovery,
Raleigh ran to Blackwood, a mining set
tlement, mile or more ystant, and
there first told of the fact to Bent Kill
gore, a police officer of tnat section.
Kilgore communicated with Mr.. ]. F..
Bullitt at Big Stone Gap shortly before
dark Sunday evening, and forthwith a
party HchQco ny MT. bullllL ana carry
ing lanterns to aid them in their journey
through the dark passes or the noun
tains, started for the scene some twelve
miles distant They arrived shortly af-
ter IL o'clock and at once stretching
ropes around the body, enclosing 1t in
thirty foot square, placed a guard which
was not relieved until after daylight this
morning.
As to the amount of the reward, II is
generally believed that the man discov-
ering the body will receive 5000. How
ever no one has as yet spoke with au-
thority on the subject.
No Examination Yet Made.
The same amount was offered by the
Virginia Iron and Coal company as a
substitute for a similar amount at first
offered by the Wentz family. As no OK
animation has been made of the body.
little has so far been determined as to
the cause of his death. All seem to agree
that he was shot, but whether 1t was
suic,de or murder, Is the guest n. Two
4 of Als front teeth are gone, presumably
shot out, while what are thought to be
| bullet holes are found through the coat
and vest just below the ribs on the left
| side. The place In which the body lies
| has been recently burned off by forest
fires. and his hair and clothing scorched.
The body is lying about thirty feet from
the mountain path and is now easily seen
for hundred feet
Last fall when the searching party was
started the body was hidden by under
growth and leaves. The color of his
clothing is so much like the logs upon
which the head rests that the searchers
failed to find him last fall. though they
passed within twenty feet of him. Mum
bers of men have recently passed near
the spot without discovering the body
though from all appearances there seems
no doubt that 1t has laid there all the
time.
Hundreds of people visited the spot
last night and today.

RUSSIANS HAVE 10000
MEN READY FOR ACTION
Censorship Is Rigid and Very Little
News Was Given Out From
St. Petersburg
Yesterday.

London, May 10,-In the absence OF fur
ther stirring news from the seat of war.
the London newspapers are discussing the
probable course of events. The balance
OF opinion lnclines to the belief that Gem
eral Kuroki will succeed In overtaxing the
Russians between Feng Wang Cheng and
Lao Yang and viii compel them to fight
at disadvantage
1t is argued that 1t will be impossible
for General Kuropatkln depending upon
a slender line Of railroad and with his
army encountered with baggage to make
his retirement speedy enough to enable
him to choose his own ground for battle.
On the other hand 1t is argued that apart
from Lieutenant General zassalitch's er-
ror in giving battle on the Y alu against
the orders of General Kuropatkn the lat
ter's plans remain unchanged.
The question of the possibility Of the
Japanese finding weak spot In the de-
fense of Port Arthur also is much de-
bated and it is belles ed In some quarters
that they will repeat the tactics employed
in the war with China and attempt an
assault through the western defenses.

Plans are now being prepared, and in

TEN for the suburb will be matter
of record at the office Of the city en-
gineer AS it will require but a guar
antee Of 10 per cent of the property
owners to secure a sewer system 1t can
well be predicted that an up to date
sewer system will be in use before the
snow flies next year.
It is the hope Of the Labor World
and it's editor, who by the good will
of the people of this ward occupies q
seat in the city council, that the sewer
next season. When these two neces-
sary improvements are made our prop
erty will have doubled in value. The
future of the Heights will be secure,
and we who have struggled to make
this place comfortable workingman's
community for the past decade will
have been amply paid for our efforts
The Labor World has faith in the fu-
ture Of the Heights. Its accessibility
to the city makes it most desirable
location for the homes acknowledgement
All that is necessary to insure it's sue
cess is sewer and water. All we ask
for is the loyal support and encour-
agement of our loyal constituents.
Give this much, and every pessi-
mist and knocker Of progress in the
community may bray until doomsday

From the London Times:
The world has never perhaups be-

Eruous elements as the Russian en-
pire presents today. The educated
classes include some OF the best in
formed and Of the most highly polish
ed men and women in Europe, many
OF whom openly express ideas Of an
advanced liberal type. They include
also an intellectual proletariat which
has embraced, with all the ardor of
the Slav nature, the widest and most
German socialists. These men have
the tastes and the ambitions which
education brings, with no reasonable
prospect Of gratifying either. Be-
meath is the dumb peasant order, per-
meated here and there with the new
migrated to the newly established
manufacturing centers cor who have
come into contact with the artisans
and the urban workmen in the army
bring home with them. Over all the
bureaucracy and the police exercise
what Is too often in practice an ire

own sphere is as intolerant and as un-
enlightened as the state. Most ON

suburb who does not contributes In even
the saallest way to its advancement
Some people who can not run things;
willfully knock everyone who attempts
to develop the suburb. Such actions do
not even tnjure the progress Of the
community, but only tend to discredit
those who attempt to obstruct prog
ress.
The Labor World admires every man
and woman on the Heights, who in the
slightest way contributes to our in
situations that need so much support
from our people. With few more
women like Mrs. Pennel, Mrs. Tolman,
Mrs. Lombard, Mrs. Butler and several
others whom we could mention but for
space, the success Of all our under
takings would be secure.
The Sunday Schools are seeking sup
port for Christmas gifts for all Of the
children on the Heights. 1t is hoped
that every person will give their mite
to help this most worthy movement.
Count the Labor World in on both
schools.
