Three Thousand i'm Diamonds

Clifton Forge, Va, Nov 28-Tbe
robbery at Covington last Friday
night of 1858 aud three thousand
dalIars worth of diamonds, whic h
was not generally known until late
Sunday, when Policeman Harry
McGutfin, of Covington. was ar.
rested, charged with the crime
has created quite a sensation.
Sheriff Sizer has been at Hot Spring
all of to-day investigating the rob
berry. The money and diamonds
were shipped from Hot Springs and
it was for the purpose of getting a
description of both that the trip
was made.
In McGuffin's home 1925 were
found under the carpet. Reports
from Covlngton to-day say that
there has been no new development
except that quiet search for tie
diamonds is still in progress. The
officers are not making their plans
public.
Mr.. McGuffin denies his guilt,
but the case against him is strong
one. The accused has employed }.
T. Delaney and G. A. Rivercom as
counsel. McGuffin has heretofore
borne a good character and has been
a terror to the evil disposed about
Covington.
Not long ago he was shot at by a
negro and would have been killed
but that the bullet struck his
badge. He had been married just
about month.

Presidents lIe5eage.

Washington, Dec 5,-The Presl-
dents message was. read before the
18Th Congress to-day, and referred.
1t Was ii document of Sc pages and
discussed vigorously all the lead
lng questions before the country.
The chief measure advocated is
rate lie glsiation. The president
asks congress to confer on the in
ter>tate commerce commission the
power to Fix maximum rate { )r
the. dlrnads. He argues Ingenious
~ for the measure, and believes it
would be tn" means Of breaking
up rebates. His idea is that when
the commission finds raiIroaA has
made ii special cut for some favor
ed shipper, the commission can
max" Tat the maximum rate for
everybody. The fear of such &C.
ton ON the part of the commission
he thinks would deter railroads
from ever making cut.
IL reference to insurance. he
favols national laws regulating it.
lie also urges that corporations be
forbidden to contribute to cam
,,aign funds.
The president advocates a more
elastic currency, and urges that
business methods be adopted in all
the departments of the govern
ment.
He advocates severe laws against
bribery in elections and that all ex-
lenses be published as we'll as con-
tribntions for campaign purposes.
The new Hague conference
comes in for treatment, as we'll as
| tie NJ nroe doctrine.
He again urges that the country
accept the prefer to aid Santo Do
mingo to get out of her financial
tangle with foreign powers.
The president fayors ship-sub-
sidy and speaks hearty word for
the jamestown exposition.
As to the Philippines he advises
"A great reduction in tariff rates
against that country, and finally
free trade with it,,
Of course the Panama canal
comes in For warm support.
The president thinks Oklahoma
and Indian territory. houldbe admit
ted as one state, and New Mexico
and Arizona and another.
There are many other minor sub
jects treated, but nothing is said
about reciprocity or reduction OF
he tariff rates in general or partic-
ular, except as to the countiy's
| dpnpndencies.

Why Shoe Laces Come United.

Why Shoe Laces Come United
''Why is it that lady's shoe be-
comes united so much more frequent
ly and apparently easier than a
man's?" repeated ]. V. Laid, the shoe
salesman, after me. well, | don't
suppose l would be in any better po-

one else had it not been for the fact
that few days ago a couple of la
dies, customers Of my place, were dis
cussing that very point, and their de-
auctions appear to solve the riddle
perfectly.
ct is not that woman's shoe laces
will not tie in as firm a knot as any
others; the reason for the frequent
annoyances to which women are sub
jected is apart from that In the case
Of high shoes he trouble is altogether
in their height. The shoe laces fur

ally fits more snugly, and, therefore,
encounters a greater strain on the

result is that it becomes loosened

Where low shoes are worn, the skirts

Heroic Devotion to DUTY.

The story of the Lewiston wreck Of
last month is adorned with many a
touching incident, but the story of
duty is worth recording in any book
of heroic deeds. Drawn from the
tangled mass of wreckage in a condi-
ton of little short of utter uncon-
seriousness, his lips were seen to move
in attempts to make clear something
which he lacked the strength to speak.
When one of his rescuers finally
caught the sound, he heard these
words: Telephone to Lewiston post

Electric Liqht Aids Vegetables


Electric light is known to have a
stimulating influence on the growth
of vegetables. Two farms on Long
island which are equipped with arc
lamps are said to yield remarkable
products in much less than the time
usually required. The effects of an
exclusive electric light on the colors
of flowers are still to be determined,
although all kinds of plants are re-
ported to grow with uncommon rapid
ity aid to bear blossoms of deeper
tone when subjected to the rays. One
florist believes he will yet show a
coal-black rose by the use of this
light with globes of certain colors.-

Dear Madame. | am sorry to say
that your Uncle Sam is hard hearted
old fellow and not at all inclined to
promote matrimOny among his pen
sioners. 1t makes no difference that
your proposed husband was a soldier;
if you marry an ex~chaplain or
major general with only one arm and
leg, you would lose your pension just
the same as if he had stayed at home
during the war and cussed the govern
ment. | have not looked up your
pension and so do not know how much
it is; but if it is; So, $40 or $12 a
month the probability is that it is
worth more to you than any one you
are likely to get as a husband in those
diggings. The trouble is that we old
fellows who went through the war
learned some very shiftless ways; and
it is about all we can do to give our
own selves a living without trying to
support a woman as she ought to be
cared for But if your man has saved
enough to own home of his owr,
and is out Of debt, and can saw cord
of wood a week, and spends more
money for -four than whisky, and takes
bath at least once week. and ism
inclined to take the poker to his wife
if she INDUCES in her constitutional
right to "talk back, " why perhaps you
hight chance him. And then if he
leaves you a widow again Uncle Sam
will start your pension going SO soon
as you inform him Of your bereave-
ment, provided you were wife of your
first husband at the time of the war
