Madisonvile. Ky, March 24-The
death of Philip McManus, young
married man, near Darlington, this

Dr. A. o. Sisk, the attending physi
clan, realized that he was suffering
from some strong poison, and treated
him accordingly.
McManus died this morning and
the physician requested that an au
topsy be made, much to the surprise
OF every one, as he had never express
ed an opinion as to the cause of the
illness of the man previous to his
death The widow and other rela.
tives consented, and the autopsy, ii is
said, revealed that he had been poi
soned. either by arsenic or strych

McManus was the victim of foul play
Two weeks ago they say George
Wright died under circumstances
similar TO those that surrounded the

was related to McManus by virtue of
the fact that both had married daugh-

had an enemy in the world. and both
enjoyed the undivided devotion OF
their wives. Both were employed in

Dawson Markets We'll Sup

During the past week there has been no particular change in the market quotations, says the Dawson Sun of May !. Business has not improved any. A lively business is anticipated, however, when the river opens, for in previous years it has been the means of bringing people to town to make spring pur- chases. There is always that exPeets- tion that prices will fall considerably if the market does not collapse entirely.
 However, this year finds the market steady, with stocks in all lines adequate to meet the demand for few months yet, and taking everything into consid- eration prices are as low now as can be expected until the July shipments be- gin to squeeze the market in comPetl- ton.
 The market is well supplied with eggs, there being more than will be needed to carry the market until new stock arrives. Dried fruits are very slow. Cream iS holding frm at SI.5o for family and Ss,5O for hotel.
 Canned vegetables are very slow and are selling at almost cost.
 Potatoes are being offered at as low as l2f cents, at which figure the mar ket will be cleaned out before new stock arrives. Onions are iobbing at 10 cents.
