BELIEVED that
HE WAS DROWNED
Clothes Found on Bank of
Rough Greek.
Mat Johnson Attempted to Swim
Across Stream to Pro-
cure Boat.

On last Sunday afternoon Mat John
son, a prominent log man and farmer
of Magyar, left his home stating that
he was going to his sisters, Mrs. Jas
Stogner, who lives near the locks on
Rough creek. He did go there and
leaving his buggy and horse crossed
the creek to his brothers, Ed Johnson
He left Ed Johnson's late Monday af-
ternoOn stating that he was going back
TO his sisters. The next morning Ed
Johnson called Mrs. Stogner over
the phone and inquired where Mat
was, Mrs. Stogner stated that she had
not seen him since he left her home
on the previous day, whereupOn Ed
Johnson hurried to the creek, where
he found his brothers clothing and
saw his bare foot prints leading into
the water. 1t is supposed that johnson
attempted to swim the creek to get a
boat to cross in and that he was drown
ed in the attempt. The creek has
been dragged continually since Tues
day morning but the body has not yet
been recovered.
There are various rumors afloat con
corning Mr.. Johnson's disappearance
One is TO the effect that on leaving
Ed Johnson's Monday evening he went
to where Harve Condit is patching on
the creek and took supper with him
and while there asked Condit all abou
his travels in the West and took nu-
merous notes relative thereto writing
same in a small book which he took
from his pocket. 1t is reported that
when the clothes were found the book
was in his pocket but the leaf on
which he had made the notes We're
gone. 1t is also stated that his watch
was not in his clothing and only q
small sum of Money was found when
it was supposed that he had somethin
near 800. Some believe that he left
his clothes as they were found, cross
ed the creek and dressed in another
suit and went off. But majority of
the people yet believe that he drown
ed in an effort 10 swim the creek.

WHEAT'S ADVANCE
ACCOUNTED FOR
Views of Those Who Look
From Different Viewpoints.
Vast Amount of Wheat in Eleva-
tors and High Price Pure
ly Speculative.

The rapid advance in wheat at the
present time, which may be termed
the eve os the wheat harvest, is a
matter of such unusually that it is
interesting the attention of the best
students of farm product markets as
well as the students of farmer or
CARNATIONS. To the student of both
there is rich food for thought in the
wide divergence of reasons given by
these different students when they
give their views of the reasons why
the price of wheat is advancing 50
rapidly at this time.
S. b. Lee, prominent A. S. of f.
man and national secretary of the
Tobacco Growers association, says
the price has been advanced by the
wheat trust in anticipation of the
National Grain Growers association,
10 be held at Omaha on June 5, 6, and
Z. He says the trust magnates know
that the result of the meeting will
be general agreement of the grow
ers to pool the 1907 crop Of wheat
and that the result will be rapid ad-
vance and that these magnates are
advancing the price in order TO gel
the credit of the advance, ana to rob
the farmer organization of the good
effect of having produced the adj
vance.
The elevator men at st. Louis and
Chicago, say that the price has adj
vanced because of the unfavorable
weather and the damages done by the
bugs and other causes which will
surely cut the crop short.
The mill men say the price is 60
ter with the elevator men who have
gotten into the elevators much more
wheat than ever before at this time
of the year and they are forcing the
price up in the belief that the mill
men can be forced to buy at once or
before the harvest of the new wheat
and thus they will realize immense
profits.
A local miller in discussing the
matter. said there was 100000 more
bushels of wheat in the ST. Louis ele-
vators and many more thousands of
bushels more in the Chicago eleva-
tors than at the same time last year.
The estimate of No. red wheat in
the Chicago elevators is 10000, 900
bushels. This is unprecedented for the
season.-Owensboro Inquirer.

Succumbs to Lingering Illness

Mrs. Margaret Taylor, wife of the
late Thomas Taylor, died at her home
in Hartford late Monday afternoon OF
tuberculosis and troubles incident to
old age. Rev. j. a. Lewis, who con-
Quoted the funeral services, furnished
us the following account of her life
and death:
Margaret Young Davis, daughter of
Thos. Y. Davis and Hester Ann Davis,
was born September 6, 1914 in Nelson
county Kentucky.
She was baptized by Rev. James
Holding, August 1S45. She professed
religion when little girl and Joined
the Methodist church. She received
her education at Bloomfield and Chap
lin in Nelson county.
She was united in marriage to Thos
Taylor in the spring 1S76,with whom
she lived until August 1904 when he
passed on before. She had been in
delicate health for 80 years, frequent
ly a sufferer, but for the last year she
had been in a steady decline growing
more and more feeble with frequent
bad attacks until the end came at
$50 p. NJ, May 81. She was a devoted
but quiet christian, with blessed eX-
perience. For Is months | never
found her in darkness or doubt. She
read her bible closely, marking the
many passages which impressed her
mind and comforted her heart. She
loved her church and regretted to be
deprived of the privileges'of the sane
tuary. She never. allowed her pastor
10 leave without reading the scripture
and prayer. Her talks were sweetly
assuring full of faith and hope, she
was perfectly resigned.
A good, modest, meek christian
woman. who delighted Ito sit at
Jesus feet and hear his word has
left us, left us as she said, for the
peace where the many mansions are
prepared. We believe she is at home
at last.
Her death was gentle,
so fades summer cloud away
So sinks the gale along the shore
And gently shuts the eye of day,

House A CENTURY old
FOUND UNDERGROUND.
Unearthed While Opening a Coal
Mine is Attracting Wide
Spread Attention.

Recently Mr.. j. NJ. Guy commenced
TO open a coal bank on Felix Evans
farm, better Enwon as the George
Roach place, about one and one half
miles north of Magan, Ohio county.
Last Friday afternoon he found about
ten feet beneath the earth's surface, a
structure which proved to be a log
building. 1t was about ten feet from
the opening of the bank which,
opening started at a branch that
runs along the foot of bluff about
twenty feet high. From the top of
this bank there rises in a southwark
direction very large hill. The build
ing was about nine feet in the clear
and six feet high, the logs being well
notched down and the rafters fasten-
ed down with wooden pins, and cover
ed with chestnut boards. The timber
was somewhat decayed but in its orig
inal position except the door, was off
the hinges and lying down. Inside
the building, which had a solid floor
of slate, the dirt was about foot
deep.
Mr.. Guy is now digging around this
building so as to move it out of the
way of opening his coal bank. The
oldest citizens of Magan community
who were born and raised there seem
to know nothing of this building sup
posing it to have been built at the
foot of the hill perhaps a century ago,
and land slide from the hill covered
1t up and has kept it hid from view
until the present.
This find is quite unusual and is at
tracing widespread attention. People
are flocking to the scene in crowds to
view the Anticipated building.
