MRS. LAURA A. COBB
Dies at her Home I'm Mineral Point
on Monday, April IL.

VIZ "'hN"Ss NFhh -
Mrs, Laura A, Cobb, widow OF the
late George w, Cobb OF this city,
died at her home on Monday, April
IL, 1904, In the 77th year oi her age.
Mrs. Cobb was the only living child
of the late DR., Schuyler pulford, one
one OF the leading physicians In this
city In an early day. She was born
November IL, 1927, In Fayetteville,
New York, and ms n young girl came
wes' with her parents. She was mar
ried to George w. Cobb March Is,
1916, by the Rev. James Depui, rector
OF Trinity church; and ever since, she
has made Mineral Point her home.
She is survived by three daughters
and three sons
Her married life was an exceedingly
happy one. Hers was n home OF hos
pitallty, whore she delighted TO enter
tain her friends, where the welcome
was prompt and cordial, and personal
interest was never wanting, True to
God and man, she accepted and dis
charged the many responsibilities an'
duties OF wealth, To tho church, TO the
community, and TO her own family,
with such Christian humility, such
absolute Justice, such tender devotion,
that she has left u name, and memo
ry, and example, than which there
have been few moro true and bright.
A loyal and devoted daughter OF the
church, she attended Its services most
faithfully, and was ever active In It's
guilds, tho Woman's Auxiliary, and
Interested In all good works. She
leaves behind her stainless record
of life, characterized by n beautiful
and wholesome fidelity In Christian
living,
Her mental faculties, always alert
and vigorous, remained unimpairod
to the last. The cheerfulnoss OF her
personality attracted to her all sorts
and conditions OF persons, who found
Ia her the true friend and companion.
Mrs. Cobb left for Pass Christian In
tho early part OF the winter for the
benefit OF her health, and while there,
shortly after the New Year, she was
seized with heart trouble, that In.
creased AZ weeks went on; yet all
hoped and prayed, with the coming
spring and home again, the shadow
OF death would pass. But God or
dered otherwise. Only last Friday,
she arrived home, not to live, but to
die. And 30 she has gone, we feel, TO
be numbered with Gods saints In
glory everlasting.
The funeral took place this after
noon at 2 o'clock, from Trinity
church, Of which she was always a
most loyal and generous member.

Br4ia Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still al
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular
part Of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..

ESCAPED IN A BOX
FROM STATE PRISON

basket tumbled off the wagon, and
while the driver was picking it up,
Smith climbed out of the box and
started to run towards the hills,
northeast of Moundsville.
The driver at once telephoned
the officials at the institution of
what had happened and an inyes-
tigation was made with the result
that it was found Smith was the
missing prisoner.
All the surrounding towns have
been notified of the escape and
given a description of the convict.
A posse of guards was formed and
started in pursuit, but Smith is
still at large. The escape was the
first that has ever been made from
the institution in that manner,
and would not be successful once
in a thousand attempts, as it has
at all times been carefully guard
ed against.
Smith was serving a sentence
of three years for robbing the res
idence of James Cummins of
Wheeling Island. His time would
have expired in about two months.
Smith was originally from Phila-
delphia, and it is thought that the
fear that upon his discharge from
the institution he would be rear
rested for other crimes, induced
him to take such a chance to es-
cape.
Smith is a young man of small
stature. He has brown hair, brown
eyes, is 5 feet so inches in height
and weighs about 1875 pounds. He
has one gold front tooth in lower
jaw and a number of tattoo marks
on his body.

O. G. Smith, a convict from
Ohio county, made his escape
from the penitentiary at Mounds
vile Tuesday morning between
the hours of 10 and II o'clock, by
secreting himself in a box of
enameled ware that was being re-
moved from the United States
Stamping company's plant in the
penitentiary, to the main plant
located in the northeast end of
Moundsville along the B. & O.
switch.
Smith, who was employed in
the enameling shop, knew that
goods labeled for shipment were
constantly being hauled from the
institution, and watched his op-
portunity. He first took portion
of the ware from large box,
then loosened one of the boards,
after which he labeled the box for
shipment. At an opportune mo-
ment, when the guards attention
was diverted, he secreted himself
in the box, knowing that the wag-
on would soon call for the goods.
A teamster called shortly be-
fore II o'clock and the box in
which Smith was secreted, along
with a number of other boxes,
were loaded into the wagon and
started en- route for the company's
ware room, adjoining the main
plant about one-half mile from
the prison.
Smith must have judged his op-
portunity to make his break for
liberty by the jolting of the wag-
on, for shortly after the wagon
had left the paved street and turn
ed east on Waynesburg avenue, a

S For the first six months of the
present year, the shipments of oil
from the Beaumont field have
amounted to 9,154,O0O barrels.
Of this amount, 5,154, 900 barrels
were shipped by water from Port
Arthur and Sabine Pass and the
remaining 100000 barrels were
shipped by rail. These are the
figures compiled by the Oil Inves-
tors Journal, which, in addition
estimates that during the six
months at least 1,456,0O0 barrels
of crude were consumed at the
wells. This would make the con-
sumption of Texas oil for the first
six months of 1904 figure as fol-
lows:
Shipments by water. -. 5,l54, O9O
Shipments by rail. -. 4,OOO,O 900
Consumed at wells. -. 1,456, 900
Total 10, 610, 900
Daily average. ...... 5S,297
The shipments from the Jen-
nings, Louisiana, oil field are made
in barges and the estimate for the
first six months of the present
year is 100000 barrels. The de-
mand for Texas oil has been stead
lily increasing, and if the present
rate is kept up, the consumption
for the year 1904 will exceed TO-
100000 barrels. The shipments of
Texas oil during the year 1903
were estimated at Il, 100000 bar
rels.
The Oil Investors Journal
makes the following estimate on
the production of Texas oil for
the first six months of the year:

Lions IN a Balloon.

Probably the most remarkable
balloon ascent ever made took place
at Roubaix recently. The author of
this singular exploit was a Captain

went up in cage boat attached to
a balloon, with two lions in the cage
with him and two aeronauts, NM
Wellet and Duchateau, on the TOP
of the cage. The ascent took place
