He HAS AN IRON Jaw.
Long Island Man Pulls and Breaks
Spikes With His Teeth.


Nicholas Reuter- of New Hyde Park,
y. Y, is getting considerable fame
throughout Long Island by reason of
being able TO do feats that give him the
reputation of being an iron jawed
wonder. Mr.. Reuter- only recently dis
covered that he had unusual strength
in his teeth and jaws and thinks he
has had the ability for years, but was
unaware of 1t. His specially at pres
ent is twofold one. in which ten inch
spikes have an important place.
Mr.. Reuter- has arranged q plank
about four feet In length, with places
for four hands to hold it down. When
he gets two strong men holding 1t, he
drives Il ten inch steel spike to good
depth and begins-his feat. Putting a
small piece of chamois around the neck
of the spike he grips 1t with his teeth,
and slowly but surely the spike comes
out rs easily as though n giant claw
hammer were doing it.
Then another spike, the same size,
IL driven in another place. and again
the two holders strain for dear life as
Nick grips the steel in his teeth and
works the spike back and forth time
after time until the spike is snapped
and broken.
Mr.. Reuter- hns given exhibitions at
several nearby places, ard the spec
Tutors are simply amazed. In speak
ing about his fcats to a reporter he
said that a few weeks ago he happened
to visit theater in Manhattan and
sew n man breaking nails with his
teeth. When he arrived home he
thought he would try 1t and found
his teeth and jaws stood the test. so
far he has used nails. but he kept using
larSer ones each time, until he has
reached the ten inch spike, which he
now uses III preference to all others.

BRYAN WAS NOT FOR DENVER.
Nebraskan Did Not Use His Influence
to Defeai Louisville.

Washington, ID. c., December 10
The statement that William ]. Bryan
favored the selection of Denver as the
city in which to hold the Democratic
National Convention, and that it was
his influence which caused the defeat of
Louisville, is emphaticslly denied by
members of the Kentucky delegation,
init ate friends of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan told me a short time be-
fore the committee met here to select
the place for the convention that it did
not make the slightest difference to him
where it was held, said Representative
Ollie James, of Kentucky, today. "He
declared he had no preference whatever.
have no idea he used his influence, one
way or another"
81 have not the slightest reason to
believe Mr.. Bryan favored Denver or
anycity over any other city," said Rep
resentative Sherley. of Kentucky, who
led the fight for Louisville.
The contrary opinion was expressed
by one of the delegation which came
here to urge the selection of Louisville.

MAJOR G. BASCOM SLEMP.

One of the most signal triumphs ever
won by any candidate for Congress in
this district was given C. B. Slemp on
last Tuesday. Though opposed by a
man who had long been a popular men,
Der of the Republican party and who
was supported by faction of the Dem
ocratic party, Mr.. Slemp received the
almost solid vote of his party. He
stands acquitted of all charges of boss
ism by the united voice of his party;
and the convention which nominated
him has been vindicated from the charge
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1907-12-19

of being packed in his interest. If the
convention was packed it was packed
the people; and they also packed the
ballot boxes for Slemp on Tuesday.
The Hon. C. B. Slemp gives promise
OF making one of the most useful rep
resentatives the district has ever had in
Congress; and our people are to be con-
graduated on having so capable and
good a man to represent them. He
ought to feel proud of such splendid
vote Of confidence as was given him bv
his people, and we have no doubt that
he appreciates it fully.

THIEF STOLE WEDDING RING.
Groom Bought 1t aud Left 1t In Coat
Pocket.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 15.-When Miss
Florence Parkinson becomes the bride
next Wednesday of William C. Herbert
she will probably wear upon her finger
a wedding ring, the cost of which was
far in excess of those usually worn
by brides.
Herbert, who is lieutenant in one of
the Richmond volunteer companies of
the Seventieth Regiment of Virginia,
purchased the ring for his sweetheart
on his way to drill last night. The Of
fcer hung his overcoat, in the pocket Of
which the ring had been placed, in the
dressing room of the armory, while he
was engaged in his military duties, At
the conclusion of the drill his overcoat
was gone, and the ring too.
The police were at once notified and
detectives put on the case. There is
no clue to the identify of the thief. If
the police are unsuccessful in their
search for the trinket the young bride
groom will be bound to purchase an
other.

FUNSTON WILL NOT
LEAVE GOLDFIELD
Says the NOn-UniOl Men Claim to Be
in Fear Of Their Lives.
ARMED ALWAYS FOR PROTECTION
Delegation Calls pOu Commanding Officer
and State That They We're TerrOriEed
Until the Arrival of the United States
Troops.

Goldfield, Nevada, Dec. ia dele
cation of non-union labor men today
called on General Funston, who is con-
tinuing his investigation with view OF
determining the necessity for the pre-
sence of Federal troops in Goldfield.
These gentlemen made the most re-
markable statement have yet heard, "
said General Funston to the Associated
Press tonight. Their statement is that
for months they have lived in constant
fear. They have felt it necessary for
their protection to go armed at all times,
and have been compelled to avoid per-
sonal contact with members of the
Western Federation of Miners in order
60 prevent serious trouble.
''This condition of affairs, they told
me, obtained until the arrival of the
United States troops, since which event
the conditions have been greatly chang
ed"
General Funston felt that this state
ment of conditions came from men who
have been in better position to know
the real situation than any others who
have talked to him since his arrival. In
view of the facts learned today General
Funston said there is little possibility of
the troops leaving within ten days, and
on his recommendation half of the num-
ber here now will be retained by the
Washington authorities.
General Funston will not leave Gold
field before Tuesday.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
GIVES EXHIBITION

Lihuc, Kauai, March i.-The an
nual exhibition OF the Sunday
Schools of West Kauai, which was
postponed from the 9Th ult.. owing
to the Indictment weather then pre-
vailing, was held at the Protestant
Congregational Church at Hanapepe
on the 10th inst, superintended by
Judge Kapahec, assistant superinten-
dent of the schools
The congregation was extraOrdi-
narily large, consisting of both young
and old. and some of those who came
there had to stand outside on the
vcranda of the building and on the
ground. The showing of the schools
was most excellent and gave one the
conviction that besides the schools
being In experienced hands the peo-
pie of West Kauai are still alive to
Sunday school work and have not
slackened interest in that work so as
to allow the East Kauai schools To
run far ahead of them In this work.
The singing of the classes as "A
whole was excellent, but special men
ton may he made in this regard of
the fine singing by class of young
people from IIanapepe, led by Miss
Aylett of Kalaheo; the mothers class
from Waimca led by Mrs. Wright and
of the Lihue class led by Mr.. Ellis,
superintendent of the schools, Their
work In this respect showed that
their trainers knew their business
and know how to make things sound
like Sousa's famous band.
Prominent among those present
were Mr.. and Mrs. H. II. Brodic, J,
