MISS ROBERTS DIES
 FROM HER INJURIES
GREAT MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE TRAGEDY IN ANNISTON BY WHICH BELOVED YOUNG LADY LOSES HER LIFE.

Anniston, September 16.-(Special)-- Without ever gaining consciousness Miss Bessie Roberts, the young woman who was found bruised and unconscious be- heath a vacant house on Sixth street yes terday afternoon died at o'clock this morning at the home of her Aunt, Mrs. s. L. Newsome. where she was removed immediately after she had been identi- fled by her brother and sister at the city hall late yesterday afternoon.
 A deep mystery surrounds the whole affair. She had been horribly beaten and bruised and had lain under the house in a semi-conscious state for three days and nights. It is believed that she was beat en and robbed while passing near the house Monday afternoon to go to her aunts and had not been seeen since. Miss Roberts was a member of one of the old est and most respected families in this section and was a greatly beloved young woman. She was a sister of T. Gaines Roberts, naval constructor who is in charge of the government works at New Orleans and of conductor Oscar Roberts of the Louisville and Nashville railway.
 The suicide theory has also been ad- vanced but little faith is placed in it as she was of a very happy disposition and had no known cause for worry of any kind.

But he is sue ceeding well in getting the men out to practice. It is impossible to predict what kind of team he will turn out, but he has some promising material and by hard work may be able to make the team better than usual.

 It has been said that all the resources of government should be exhausted in protecting innocence Hnd punislipg crime; this result must be achieved not by the wild passion of revenge nor by the instinetive rush for expiatien, but by the calm, cool, impartial nearly om- nipetont arm of seldom erriug, lawful justice also that I've declare that these resolutions are not born of pnrtisanship they are the expression and firm conviction of men who tried to do their duty as loyal soldiers of the states they loved, and of men, who, ever since the war between the states have striven to be law abiding citizens of a common and reunited country"
 The resolutions were passed without a dissenting vote.
 Georglans After Him. What promises 10 develope Into an in- teresting case has come up out of the arrest of J. w. westberry of Hagan, Ga.. who was arrested here last Tuesday, charged with intent to defraud the Bank of Hagan. W, c. Worrell and Dr. C.. Smith of Hagan, came to the city and tried to have the prisoner sent back. They did not have requisition papers and West berry refused to return. The accused man looks like an honest fellow and as- serts that he has committed no offense. He says he owes the bank note of $40. due next December, on which he has paid the interest to maturity.
 When he left he says he deposited a note for the same amount due him by another man and maturing in October, his instructions being to apply the latter to the payment of the first. provided it was met in time. If not he was to be notified and he would send the money or be back in time to take care of his own paper. The two men from Hagan re- fused to discuss the situation. leaving for home after finding it would take fur ther legal proceedings to get their man back into Georgia It is quite likely that Westberry will institute habeas corpus proceedings to secure release

Fake
Advertising

We've been surprised since opening
this store. to learn that the people of
Topeka have been fooled so often by
fraudulent-fake-ad that
many of them have really no conf
dence in an honest ad that reaches
them straight from the heart of an
honest store
Let us tell you something .'heart to
heart" 1t would be in our judgment
the height of folly-sheerest nom
sense for us to pay the newspapers
thousands of dollars per year to edu-
cate you through the medium of the
advertising we publish in their col
umns to the fact that we We're unre-
liable. that we were untruthful, that
we were unworthy of confidence. we
want to tell all of our people of To-
peka and her splendid trade territory
that this store of ours is one store that
is determined to be honest. We do not
claim to be angels, but We do claim to
have little common sense remaining.
We hope that we have enough horse
sense" left to show US the utter folly
of making misstatements in our ad-
vertisements.
To shorten the story down to a
proposition we say we want you to
prove our ads, every one of them.
Bring them in here to the manager OF
this store, or to the man who writes
these ads, and if they haven't got the
goods exactly as described in every
part and particular. then you can class
us at once with the fakirS, wrom we
are told have been throughout the
years perpetrating fraudulent ads
upon the people of this community.
We are to be here permanently. Our
lease permits US to remain in these
buildings for five years, so you see we
will be here for some years yet, to
make good on all our statements.
