Few naval movements in recent
years have attracted SO much atten-

drydock from Chesapeake Bay TO its
probable station at Olongapo or Ca

body so great a distance was some
thing of a problem in navigation in
Itself; then there was the danger OF
storms, especially in the Indian
ocean, and the officials awaited with
keen interest the news thar Com
mander Hosley and his vessels with

safety.
The navy department has received
a series of reports from commander
Hosley in regard to the use Of oil

A SONG OF LOVE.

Love laid his hands on my two hands
And stralghtway l was strong;
He held my eyes within his eyes
That they might see no wrong;
His kisses fell upon my lips
And left them filed with song.
The meanest task my hands may do
For Loves sake now is meet;
The meanest thing my eyes may see
Grows wondrous and complete.
And since my songs are all of him
They surely must be sweet.

the Republican judicial convention of
the First judicial district of Illinois
nominated Judge Chas. w. Thomas,

determined contest between the ad-
herents of Judge Thomas, Judge Vic
kers and Judge Harker. beginning
about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
when the first roll-call was heard, in
which neither faction yielded a ma
terial point TO any other. Repeated
recesses and consultations were of no
avail, and promises of breaks" were
not realized, until near the close of
the remarkable contest. Finally
Judge Harker withdrew leaving the
contest between the other two.

Ohio Man Starts Lot of Silly
Chatter About the Killing.
Cairo Papers Assert That Mrs. Man.
grum May Have Been MUIR
dercd Here.
NOTHING IN AUGUSTUS CASE.

The latest story in the Mangrum
case is that the Nashville woman,
Mrs. Rosa Mangrum, was murdered
and thrown into the river at Cairo
or Paducah. The very last to start
the rounds of the papers, however,
is that she was thrown into the river
at Paducah, which is absurd.
The truth is that no one knows
where Mrs. Mangrum was murdered
or where her body. later found at
Cairo. was thrown into the river, as
no trace has ever been found of her
after she entered the depot at Nash
Vile for st. Louis or Chicago. II is
not known whether or not she ever
got on the train.
The recent rumors started from a
letter some man up in Ohio. who had
been reading about the case. wrote
TO Nashville paper. He merely
suggested the theory that the wo-
man was murdered at Cairo, as 1t
would have been almost impossible
he said for the body to have been in
the condition it was in If It had float
cd from Nashville. Although the
Ohio man knew nothing of the case.
his letter has been printed in a num-
her of papers, and when Cairo heard
OF 1t, the resourceful editors there
Immediately started out to get Cairo
cut of it. and now suggests that the
woman was murdered at Paducah
and thrown into the river. Today's
Bulletin says:
''That the body of Mrs. Rosa Man
grum was placed in the river at or
near Paducah is the belief of river
men, who scott at the idea that a
dead body would float from Nashville
to Cairo, a distance of $50 miles.
MEN familiar with the river and
who have seen hundreds of bodies
taken out of the river. say that the
body would have sunk dozen times
before reaching half the distance, be
cause that mud would have formed
on the body as 1t foated down the
Cumberland river.
90 The body is supposed to have
fioated down the Cumberland said
an old pilot, and as that stream is
extremely crooked and the sides
lined with rocks, it would have been
worn out before floating half the
distance from Nashville to Paducah,
even supposing it did not sink
