HE DISAPPEARED
Josept Cyril Van KeIIock. a Barber
Disappears Under Mysterious
Circuznstances-Ofii
on the Look Out.

This morning City Marshal c. c.
O'Nell was informed that Joseph Cy-
ril Van Kellock, barber. who has
been in the city for some weeks, has
mysteriously disappeared and his
wife is greatly distressed and alarm
ed over the matter.
II seems that about three weeks
ago Mr.. Van Keilock accompanied by
his wife and little child. seven years
of age, came to Grand Junction from
Reno. Nevada. They took rooms at
SCI Colorado avenue. Since that time
Mr.. Kellock has been acquainting
himself with the various shops and
BARRIERS OF the city and getting in
line for position the first time there
was an opening.
Yesterday or the day before he con-
tracted to work for John Godding.
one of the Main street BARRIERS. He
was to go to work this morning.
Last night Van Kellock was at
home with his family. After the even
ing meal Mrs. Van Kellock came up
town to get some bakers goods.
When she returned home her hus-
band had disappeared. In vain she
made Inquiries and finally notified the
city marshal.
Mrs. Van Kellock is at a loss to
account Tor the strange action on the
part of her husband. She states that
they have not quarreled and the do
nestle relations were at all times
most congenial. However for the past
three or four days her husband has
been very morose and seemed to be
worrying great deal evidently over
the fact that he was not working. He
never at any time hinted of leaving
his home.
Mrs. Van Kelloek on returning
home last night found that her -hus-
band had departed taking with him a
suit case and a small bag containing
his barber tools. He also had about
$40 In his pockets and left his wife
and child only 75 cents in their pos
session.
Today City Marshal o'Neil has
made inquiries at the ticket Offices
the various barbershops and many
other places but has found no trace OF
the missing man.
Van Kellock is five feet seven in
ches tall. Weighs 139 pounds, light
complexion. 4 | years of age. He wore
glasses. He is thought to be wear
ing long black overcoat and a stir
black hat.
The wife is greatly grieved over
her husbands disappearance and ap-
parent desertion. She is inclined to
believe that there is some mystery
back of it all.

SHOULD BE A wARNING.

In dealing with the applications for
commutation of the sentence of death
passed on deprayed individual from
Grand Junction for the murder Of
his iailer. Governor Buchtel took a
stand which will be approved by every
well balanced citizen. II Is so remark
ably logical and free from false senti-
ment. 1t should be n warning to the
hysterical division OF society not to
presume on the executive because he
was and Is a preacher of the gospel
and a teacher. His past experiences
VIII help him the more readily to
scent the false from the true. Capital
punishment was in the statute books
when Governor Buchtel took office
He Is not responsible for that meas
ure. It Is his duty TO administer the
law.
In a statement published yestrday
the executive made very clear his po-
sition. He Is not going to interfere
with the courts in the administration
of law unless for very good reasons.
An appeal for mercy or leniency must
have something behind il. A fair
trial is not going to be upset through
whim. II a hlunder was commit
ted, II new evidence has been dis
covered then the executive will make
inquiry and determine The pull
Will be Of no avail; neither Will fool
ish or mawklsh appeals to the exeeu-
tive for clemency because he has en-
gagged in missionary and phllanthrop-
ic work.
Colorado has not n clean bill 1t
lives in a glass house. The state
has been disgraced with several
lynchings in recent years. The pres
ent executive is not going to give en-
couragement to lawbreakers through
any act OF his. The murderer must
pay the penalty. Mob law will be
discouraged in more ways than one.

TO Bon FRUIT CROP.

Some idea of the fruit crop of the
western slope may be gained from the
fact that IL will take from two to
three million feet of lumber TO make

the Dupont Powder Co. get their
plant into working order it will take
from three to four million feet OF
lumber TO make boxes to ship their
powder in and the industry will grow.
The dead timber of the forest reserve
could all be used with great profit
for box lumber. A box factory suf-
ficiently large to supply boxes for the
powder company and for fruit pack
ing for the western slope, would en-
ploy so. or more men the season

S976.25

M. G. and G. F. Toms have received a
check for $97625 for their crop of gin
sing raised on litSle patch of ground
so by 10 feet, on Jump off Mountain and
which was shipped last fall.
This is probably the largest amount
of money ever made in this state from q
piece of ground this size, 50x70 feet.
We defy any other part of the state
to equal it.
This crop was planted three years
ago. Next fall there will be another
crop for sale, and after that another,
and so on. These figures speak for
themselves. They certainly need no
comment. What these gentlemen have
done, others may do. They have no
monopoly of this crop. They have SIM
ply shown the famers of Henderson
county the door to gold mine, where
any who wish may enter. The initial
cost is low, and q revenue my be dOriv-
ed from it within three years. And
yet farmers here allow themselves to be
deluded into going to the mills to work.
when this money crop is right at their
doors! Ask Capt. Toms for particulars.
He's mighty glad to give them.

Freight Rates.

The Board of Trade held q called
meeting last Friday night, to consider
a request from the Southern Railway for
a conference to settle the question of
freight discrimination. The meeting
was largely attended and . committee
was appointed to meet Mr.. Green in
Atlanta during the week commencing
with the 24th of this month. This is in
accordance with the request of the
Southern Railway, as in that city all the
various freight tariffs are accessible.
It is hoped and believed that at the
meeting the much discussed question of
unfair freight rates will be finally set
tied and HendersOnville will be given

AS result of the board of trade meet
ing the committee will go to Atlanta
armed with all sorts of data, and it is
believed will convince the Southern of
ficials that q material reduction on
many items should be made.
The agitation for lower rates has been
of long duration, and ever since the
Southern railway has been convinced
that our business mentwere in earnest,
they have shown a disposition to meet
them and listen to their requests.

about the size Of Hendersonville. The
mill proper will be q thousand feet in
length, located on hill about quarter
. mile from the river. Electricity will
be the motive power. The building is
TO be completed and machinery install
ed by December Of this year. They will
employ probably 800 hands.
The machinery for making brick for
the buildings is now on the ground, and
400 men will be brought there to work

buildings Considerable progress has
already been made and all the work will

Will We Get It7

HendersonYille has talked, and talk
ed, and talked, and talked about wanting
cotton mill here. Without any frills
this il the proposition now.
Mr.. A. b. Calvert, president of the
Drayton mills and president of two banks
In South Carolina, man of the highest
ability in every respect, stands ready
TO invest $500 900 in q cotton mill here
If local people subscribe 100000.
It must be understood that Mr.. Calvert
insists on this amount being taken here
simply t. insure the good will of the
town, and not because they need that
amount. There is all and more than
enough money at their command, but
they, for good business reasons, and to
insure the lasting goodwill of the city,
insisted on third of the stock being
subscribed here.
The site for the mill has been select
ed, on the Barker place. Mr.. u. G.
Station has received the definite PROPOSE
ton from Mr.. Calvert to invest $500. 900
in the mill and to start work within 60
days. Mr.. Calvert suggests that CON-
m1ttee OF i've come to Spartanburg and
investigate the business q little there
and talk over the proposition.
The matter will come before the local
board OF trade for some Official action.
1t is believed the money can easily be
subscribed here, if Hendersonville really
wants the big mill. The investment
would pay large dividends. 1t would
give employment to 800 hands, with q
payroll of many thousands of dollars
each week.
If this city wants the mill it has the
opportunity now. If it let's this oppor
tunity go by, It should forever after
keep silent. High Point is making des-
perate efforts to get the mill there, but
Mr.. Calvert prefers to come here.
This is the chance to keep Henderson
county's population at home. It's up
this town to do something and do it

it means that Hendersonville will be the

city of the world. 1t will be the play
ground of the world. In fiye years it
will treble its taxable valuation. In
that time it will have 10000 permanent
residents. Every hotel now built will
be kept full and many others will be
built. Millions of dollars will be spent
here. Farmers will get three to FIVE times
the prices for their products that they
now receive.

most the exact words used by level
headed, hard business men at the meeC-
ing of the board Of county commiss-
toner's. They are the words of men who

This is good to read. All that the

to make them peerless was lakes, and
we are delighted at the prospect of q
second successful effort to supply the
