Change In Design Of Cents.

change in the design of the
small bronze cent, which has made its
appearance each year since its adop-
ton in 1864, is being considered by a
congressional committee. and expert
ments are also under way looking to
the use of a new metal, either pure
nickel or aluminium, to take the place
of that now used. which is IS per cent
copper and per cent zinc.
The contemplated change is the out
come of the agitation in favor of new
designs for United States coins of all
denominations. not a single one OF the
present series seeming to meet with
general favor. Expert numismatists
go so far as to say that never in the
history of this country has it been
represented by a less artistic set OF
coins.
Since 1898. when the first cent was
issued at the mint. down to the present
day there have been no less than 1000
dies for the cent, and this despite the
fact that in the last forty-two years
there has been no alteration in the de-
sign.

W. &. WOolley of Buckley Blesses the
Day He Was Induced by Friends

The city has been under the influ-

few days, with the exception of the

will undoubtedly be of general inter-

who have been placed in the position
in which w. G. Woolley, a resident of
Buckley, Wash, was placed, and all
such will rejoice with him that there
is means of escape from the severe
form of suffering which laid him UP
for several months.
Mr.. Woolley has been in Yakima
since last May. He has made the ac-
quaintance of many people here in that
time, and some who met him when he
first came can vouch for the truth of

they finally told me I was cured, and
went back to Buckley. The trouble
returned as soon as I went to working,
and I returned to the hospital In a

nothing for me, and sent me to the
Green River Hot Springs. I went there
and remained for three weeks, but did
not get particle of relief in that time;
then I came here. hoping the change
in climate would help me, for by this
time I was getting desperate, and had

a New Enterprise for Meade.

We who have lived in Meade coun-
ty for some years past can easily
Look back and see that there has
been wonderful development along
all lines of business, but we can also
see that the merchantile business
and general produce trade has not
kept pace with the progress in other
directions. One of the most neces-
sary adjuncts to the development of
community is an up-to-date, well
stocked general merchandise store,
one where man can buy what he
wants whether it be sack of -four
or steam plow, simply by calling
at the store and making his wants
known without having the bother of
ordering from outside sources and
the subsequent delay before delivery.
The sale of goods is, however not
the only province of general store.
1t should be so equipped that it can
furnish market for the products of
its customers; be prepared to buy
their produce, their butter and eggs,
their grain and hay and whatever
may be raised or produced in the
nelghborhood and there should be
sufficient surplus capital to enable
the merchant to take the farmers
produce, not only at the height of
the season, when he is virtually little
more than a commission merchant,
but at all times and carry them over
if necessary.
Realizing the need of a general
store in Meade county, properly
stocked and backed by sufficient
capital to handle whatever our peo-
pie have for sale, our energetic mer-
chant, H. G.. Marshall has succeeded
in interesting with him some strong
financial associates and has incor-
porated his business under the name
of The H. G.. Marshall Co., with
the following stockholders, H. G.
Marshall, R. E. Steele, B. F. Cox,
w. w. Cockins and Elsie c. Mar.
shall with a cash capital of S25, ooc
and they propose to make this new
business the best equipped genera
store in the south west.
| We are all familiar with the mer
who compose this new corporation
and we feel fully certain that with
their keen business ability and the
unlimited capital which they posses.
that they are sure to meet with grea
success. Mr.. Marshall will be re
tanned as general manager of the
new store and he announces that tht
present store will close Saturday
May 18th and an inventory will b.
taken and the store reftted the fol
lowing week and re-opened under it
new name on the nineteenth.

MORTAL BULLET FITS
REVOLVER SPlER HAD

New York, May 1O.-Following the
funeral Of Charles L. Spier, the traction
manager. who was found dead in his
home on Staten Island, Monday morn
ing, following an alarm of burglars, a
second autopsy was performed on the
body and the bullet extracted. 1t was
found to be 32-caliber, the same as
Spier's pistol. .
The bullet was in the back under the
left shoulder blade. In it's course it
had penetrated the heart. *Ft%
Having been shot with his own re
volver, it is the theory of the family
that Spier grappled with the burglar he
is said to have detected at work, I and
that the marauder turned the weapon
upon its owner. ES#H
Strong objection was made by Mrs
Spier to the holding Of second autopsy
which she declared would proye nothing
but Coroner Gahill would mot give q
burial permit alntil the bullet had been
extracted. Consequently, altho the fu-
neral went forward, the body was
placed in vault. After short wait
it was removed and the autopsy fol-
lowed. = ~ n e. 9''st s'.',.-s -{*'t
No theory has, been agreed upon by
the authorities who appear to be at
odds as to whether the case is one of
murder, suicide or accident. 81 - -
