Probably no greater loss could have
been sustained by the educational SER
vice of this city than in the death of
Mrs. Margaretta Keyes, instructor OF
languages in Olympia High School.
The sudden announcement came a. q
shock upon our community, for it was
not anticipated that her illness for
some time past would result in death.
She died Monday morning at the
home of Dr.. H. S. Wyman, where she
had resided for some time past. Her
reputation as successful educator is
by no means confined to our city or
county. She is known throughout
the State from her connection with
institute work, and her sterling worth

In the Port Orchard Independent, OF
Feb. 9th, appears Frank Henry's
"Old Settler" under the heading OF
"a Clammy Prospect" and accredited
to an unknown author. It seems re.
markable that any faber-shover in the
State should be so ignorant OF pioneer
history as to not be aware OF the poem
and its author. But we live in an age
OF surprises. One of these is that we
had never heard OF the Port Orchard
paper, a copy OF which has been hand

A GIRL BIaANIsT.-Lulu Simpson
Miller, Is years of age, 4 fair, frail,
dainty Paso Robes girl. is in the Cali
fornia courts on the charge of being
too much married. It seems that she
was married to her first husband when
she was sweet sixteen, and to her
second two years later. without more
formality than the declaration by her
self that the FIRST marriage was off and
did not count. What view the court
will take of the matter is not yet
known, but it is thought that she will
scarcely be able to convince the aus.

negative of liberty and persuit Of

Appalling Break in Prices
Comes.
1T CAUSED a WILD STAMPEDE
Down, Down 100 Points the Market
Fell and King Cotton is Dethroned
For a Time-Futures Tumble, But
Spots are Strons.

The long expected happened yester-
day morning when the top.heavy cot
ton market broke into smithereens and
sent prices whirling down the chute to
the extent of nearly 100 points.
The break caused no surprise, and
wise ones stood from under,
The crash was duo to no special
cause beyond the fact that speculators
had boosted prices too rapidly, and
there was nothing to support 1t.
From 17.43, the closing figure for
May the day before, the price fell to
1920, sheer fall of 1873 points or $6.2
per bale. And other summer positions
hunted the bottom az we'll.
One single drop of seventy points
gave the bulls.the buck.ague.
At the close the market rallied some

by the nervous bovlnes.
The market is certainly we'll pGrged

a DANIEL COMES TO JUDGMENT
Little Mig is Cooped on Charge OF
Theft

Shlvering in steel cage ut the bar
racks and wondering whether he would
be hanged legally, lynched or thro wn
into the lions der, George Daniel sat
yesterday and waited to learn what
might happen to him.
And what did happen to this Daniel
was plenty.
The negro boy is charge with the
theft of quite sum of money, stolen
from lady's purse, and Chief Feagin
thinks they will put Daniel where
stripes will be very much worn.
Daniel was employed in home on
Lamar street, and when lady visitor
missed $26 from her purse suspicion
pointed Dsnielward. George denied
the theft, but . considerable sum OF
money was found down in his jeans.
He was put in the coop to await g
further Investigation.
The theft of the money was shrewd-
ly executed. The parse contained sev.
eral valuable diamond rings and nearly
500 in bills, besides 81 in silver. The
thief counted out $26, and left the bal
ance of the cash and the iewelry.
The little mig Is the son of former
negro politician here who once ran fol-
congress on that ticket.
Later in the day the youthful pris.
oner made a confession of the theft and
told the officers where the money was
hidden under a house. Daniel also
signed a written confession, which
Chief Feagin now holds on him.
The stolen money was returned to
the lady to whom it belonged, and
thus the police department does anoth
er fine piece of work.

council Will Make Them in City Hall

Needed improvements in the city's
building will be m ade at once, which
will prove of advantage, especially in
the quarters occupied by the fire de.
partment. An entirely new fl ,or will
be laid and alterations ma Q in the
stairway, which will prove of advan-
tage as we'll. Again the necessity of q
rear entrance to the fire department
headquarters is being urged, whereby
the engines and trucks msy be driven
directly into the building instead of
being backed in from the street en-
trance as as present. This mode of
ingress harnesses the horses and is
both troublesome and dangerous.
With rear door the wagons could be
driven into the building direct, as is
done IN all other cities. This would

THREE HANDSOME
new BUILDINGS
Erected In Americas During
Spring.
BIC STRUCTURES ON FORSYTH.
Three Handsome Buildings Will Be
Erected Upon Old McMath Proper
ty. last Vacant Lot on That Side
is Built Up.

The ring of the trowel will soon be
heard in Americus in the erection of
three handsome and commodious brick
buildings to go up on Forsyth street
upon what is Familiarity known as the
McMath property. And they will be
an ornament to the city.
The deal whereby this becomes pos
sible has just been made.
Yesterday Mr.. I. r. Cain purchased
the remaining one-fifth undivided in
terest in that find property, and 1t is
he who will make the contemplated
improvements here.
Mr.. Cain owned already the large
McMath storehouse and the vacant
lots adjoining, except this one fifth
interest, and having acquired that por-
ton he is now ready to tear away the
old buildings and erect three mondern
in their stead.
This information will be gratifying
ones to all citizens Of Americus.
1t means the razing of lot of shells
and sheds and the erection of three
handsome and modern buildings in
their stead.
And 1t means much more than this,
for besides building up the waste
places it evidences the value of Ameri-
Gus realty as an investment. The
erection of this block will build up
Forsyth street solidly, on that side, in
the business section.
And a wonderful transformation
scene will be wrought there.
Every desirable storehouse in Ameri-
Gus is now occupied, and the three
contemplated WILL soon find ready &C.
cupants.
The purpose for which these build
ings are intended is not known as yet,
but they are probably spoken for al
ready, or soon will be. The new block
will be completed during the spring
season and occupied before fall bust
ness opens in Americus.
Messrs, Perry & Brown will also
have an interest in the new buildings
at a later date,
