Bad Luck With the Thumbs

THE startled natives could not understand the
phenomena we presented, and imagined that
would bring them bad luck They gathered round
carriage, chattering and gestculatlng in great
excitement. Some who had smattering of English
exclaimed Why come No good! Bringee bad!'
Our guide harangued them when they showed a
disposition to attack the carriage and declared that
God had sent good omens. His arguments
seemed to be convincing. for when presently he
waved his arms them they off and dis
persed, as Minnie said, like many chickens in
a barn yard.

The Methodist Meetings.

The II Wills Of Jesus was the sub
ject presented by Rev. Merle Smith at
the Methodist church last evening be-
fore a good sized audience. The first
IT will'' Of which Rev. Smith spoke
was the one referred to by Jesus when
he said, Come unto me and will give
you rest" The second was when
Jesus spoke to the leper, who begged
to be made clean, and was, "I Wills be
thou clean" Then reference was made
to the instance in Jesus life when he
said to those about him: "He that COM
eth to me, I will in no wise cast out"
The other two 81 wills" spoken of in
closing were when Christ said, I Will
confess him before my father in heaven
who shall confess me before men," and
'sI will that they shall behold me in
my glory"
The address was short, to the point,
and we'll received F. Aubrey Smith

TWO TO NOMINATE.
There Will Be Two Vacancies On the
Board of Supervisors.

There is some confusion In the
minds of many as to the vacancies to
be filled on the board of supervisors.
Unless the legislature passes law
this winter making other provisions
there will be two vacancies on the
board. Mr.. Whitehill was elected to
I'LL an uneXpired term of the late Mr..
Shearer. His term will expire next
January, and owing to Ill health he will
not be Il candidate again. A new man
should be put up by the republicans
and elected next fall for his place. Mr..
Arney's term and half would have
expired this January and his successor
would have been nominated last spring
and elected last fall had not the BIZ
ennial election amendment extended
his term one year. His term will now
expire next January and his successor
should be nominated this spring and
elected next fall.
The only change possible would be
the extension of his term two years
more by a new law and this is not
likely.

FEARS FOR uNcLE's SAFETY.
A. II. Simon Anxious Over Press Dis
patch Announcing Loss OF Vessel

A. II. Simon Anxious Over Press Dis
patch Announcing Loss Of Vessel
at Sea.
Mr.. A. H. Simon, of this city, is very
much concerned over press dispatch
in the T.-R few days ago, announce
ing that Spanish vessel, Ell route
from South America to New York
had gone down. The only passenger
named as being on board was DR.. DAN
tel Mayer, United States consul
general at Buenos Ayres, Ar
gentine Republic, who is Mr..
Simon's uncle. While the dispatch
did not state that DIR. Mayer was lost,
nothing has since been heard of the
vessel, and Mr.. Simon is worrying for
fear that his uncle was lost at sea.
DR.. Mayer was formerly a resident
of Charleston, w. Va, and was warm
personal friend of Former President
Mckinley, who appointed him consul
at Buenos Ayres. President Roosevelt
promoted Dr. Mayer and made him
consul general.
If later news confirms the death of
DR.. Mayer it will be the second death
at sea in this family within two years.
In the spring of 1904 DR.. Mayer was
returning to this country with his be-
loved wife, whose health had failed
her as a result of the South American
climate. Mrs. Mayer was taken Ill
soon after embarking on the homeward
voyage, and when the vessel was nine
days out passed away. 1t was impos-
sible to bring the body to this coun-
try, for burial at Charleston, as Dr.
Mayer had wished, so a burial at sea
took place, and the body was laid to
rest in, the deep blue sea, at a point
opposite the Amazonian straits, off
the coast of Brazil The resting place
of the dead was carefully and skill
fully described and permanently traced
on detailed map of the ocean and
surrounding land, and this was pre-
sented DR.. Mayer by some Of his
friends. 1t was among the most cher
ished of his possessions.
Mr.. Simon is making every effort to
ascertain whether or not any Of the
passengers of the Inflated vessel were
saved, and if so If his uncle was among
the number DR.. Mayer is a younger
brother of Mr.. Simon's mother and 10
also and uncle of Mrs. e. III. Keller, Of
this city.
