"ChimericaI and Visionary"

One OF our readers says that our
Burke's Garden trolly line plan Is
"chimerical and visionary and an i'm
possibility" So IL was said of n num-
ber OF other great schemes when first
proposed. SO II was said OF many OF
the greatinstitutions oftoday when first
proposed. The trolly line or some
other kind of line. connecting Burke's
Garden and Clear Fork with the out
side world, will be built some day. We
have one OF the finest and greatest
countries in the world, but we are Just
thirty years behind In the matter OF
development. A new and more
progressive people will take our place
In the future, and make this section a
veritable Garden OF Eden.

Ihe nomination OF District ATTORNEY
Deneen as republican candidate for the
governorship of Illinois proves to have
been n distinct defeat for the republi-
can national administration.
President Roosevelt and his admins
tratton associates were for Lowden. 1t
was to promote Lowdens candidacy
that Yates was offered ambassador
ship II he would get out Of the way.
He refused ana named Deneen.
How actively the national admins.
tration was engaged in the contest Is
revealed by the Chicago Tribune, which
says;
Federal officers went the limit for
him. Every card In their deck was
played. The Cook county machine
was strained 90 the bursting point. 1t
had not pound OF steam left. What
ever there was In social or corporate
influence was used. But Il all failed.
On the floor OF the convention hall.
working openly In his behalf, were two
United States senators. There was not
postmaster or other federal employee
among the delegates too small to es-
cape their buttonhollng and impor,u-
mites. The state of Illinois was
searched with the federal patronage
line tooth comb and everything collected
was turned into the Lowden pile.
In this connection the interesting
story Ia abroad that President feels so
bitterly toward The Tribune for these
revelations OF federal interference that
he is going TO recall from st. Peters
burg Ambassador Robert S. Mccormick
who is one OF the proprietors OF that
greatest newspader OF the middle west.
1t is incredible that any sane man In
the white house would take such a step
but once let 1t get started and there Is
no limit to the pace of "impetuosity.r

The Distant Hills

Tie task that seems so very great.
From which you daily shrink I'm
dread,
VIII never dwindle while you wait
And wish the way were clear ahead
The traveller whose feet have burned
On dusty slopes, in valleys deep,
And on the rocky heights has learned
That distant hills are always steep.
The duty that. day after day
You sadly turn from, waiting stIIi
And wishing 1t could fade away,
Perhaps is like the distant hill.
The tasks we we try so hard to shun
Are often found, when forth we
leap,
AT last. to end them quickly done
The distant hills are always steep.
Why wait when there Is work 70
you?
Why sean It from afar and sigh?
Ii may not be so hard to do
IL you but press ahead and try,
We mafvel, when upon the height
We let our glaDces backward sweep,
At all the gentle slopes In sight,
The distant hills are always steep.

MYSTERY AT

quest Fails to Determine
Cause of Death.

The dead body OF a man named
Davis was found on the platform of
the depot at Cedar Bluff, on Tuesday
morning. There were marks OF violence
on his head and face. An inquest was
heid by Squire Cecil, but the jury were
unable to decide the cause OF death.
Their verdict was that deceased came
to his death by means unknown TO the
jury.
Mr.. George r. Surface, of our Town.
who happened to be i'm the community of
Cedar Bluff on business, was summon
ed on the Coroners Jury, and from him
we get the facts as follows:
The dead man, whose name was
Davis, came 10 Cedar Bluff from Rich
lands late Monday afternoon, and in
conversation with Mr.. Surface and Mr..
Il. X. Scott said that he was assaulted
by several men near Richlands. He
had an ugly cut In the back of his head.
and bruises on his face. Several wit
nesses testified to seeing Davis knock
ed down by man near Richlands and
severely beaten, and upon his getting
up and starting of was struck i'm the
pack with rock. Davis said he had
ticket for the late train east but got
LETT, and would catch the next freight
TO Blueheld, which he failed to do.
After buying something to eat at n
store he went to the depot and re-
moved his coat, hat and shoes. and
laid down it seems. and i'm that condi-
tion was found early Tuesday morning.
as stated above. The man had been
drinking, and under all the circum-
stances the Coroners Jury were unable
TO determine the cause OF death. He
was about 40 years old and weighed
about 200 pounds.
1t is learned from other sources that
he lived in Bluefield, and his old home
is at Lithia, Va.
1t is claimed that the party or
