OF which lodges deceased was n worthy
member. The Pastor, Rev. Mr.. Esk-
ridge was assisted by Rev. j. n. Har-
man, who spoke of deceased's Masonic
lite. The addresses OF both gentlemen

WHITAKER TAKES
HIS DEPARTURE
Prisoner Escapes while Watch
man Sleeps-Has Not Been
Arrested.

William Whitaker, prisoner, charg-
ed with the killing of Noah Altizer,
escaped from the Tazewell Jail last
Friday night, and has not been appre-
hended.
DR.. Painter extracted a ball from
Whitakers body on Wednesday be-
fore, and being in an almost helpless
condition special accommodations were
provided for him. A cot was placed
for him In the room where the deputy
iailc-, Mr.. Mitchell sleeps. Mr.. Wm.
Graham, itappears, was employed by
Whitaker's father, SO it Is said, to wait
on the prisoner and look after him.
Thinking that Whitaker WAS too Ill to
escape, close watch to prevent escape
was not thought necessary. In the
morning. when Mr.. Graham was awak
ened he found Whitaker gone.
Thos. Leedy, awaiting trial for the
killing OF Harris, at Graham, was in
the same room.
>Whitaker's escape and flight must
have caused him great pain, and was
taken at great risk, as 1t was necessary
the evening before to assist him In
walking, and to raise him up in bed.
Whitaker was being held here await
ing the necessary legal steps in order
to deliver him to the West Virginia
authorities, as reported heretofore in
this paper.

President, when asked about the ru-
NOR that he is to become an editor for
the William r. Hearst syndicate of

give up his residence in Georgia and
move to New York, where he will take
the editorial position stated at salary
of $50, 900 a year in this connection

LOOKS HOPELESS FOR RUSSIA.

Unless all signs fail, Russia is beat
en- in Manchuria. Port Arthur had
not fallen at last accounts and may
not fall for some time. But it is doom
ed II is already clear that No relief
can come to the besiegers from the
North, for KuropatkIn's army is being
driven away from the beIeaguered
fortress. The old Russian commander,
instead of being in position to give
relief, is making desperate efforts to
save his own army from an over
whelming defeat. The fall Of Port
Arthur will at once release a large
japanese army and give Togo's fleet a
chance to assail Vladivostok. The re-
leased army will be at once sent North
to reinforce Gen. Kuroki If the latter
can save himself from an over Whelm-
irg defeat at Lao Yang and get back
to Mukden and eventually TO Hardin
he will have done more than all the
war experts expect him to do. Japan
has made tremendous sacrifices in
this war, but not in vain if she makes
the Great White Gar lower his colors,
as now seems altogether probable.
