Special to Times Republican.
Newton, June 15.-George w. Lyle,
ore of the wealthiest and most prom
insnt residents Of Newton, is Z dead
from bullet wound thru the head.
While his death is believed to have re-
suited from self-inflicted wound,
there are several peculiar circum-
stances that have caused Coroner Boyd
TO determine to hold an inqhest.
The lifeless body Of Lyle was fou,7
in the haymow of his barn between
1880 and o'clock this morning. BY
his side was found a 44-calibre revoi-
yer. with one chamber empty. The
bullet had entered the head near the
right ear and passed out on the lefs
sioe.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Lyle. her husband left the house last
night about bedtime, saying he was go
ling. for drink. Not returning soon.
the wife says she instituted search,
and not finding Lye, she called her
sister-i n-law, Mrs. Wylie. They looked
in the haymow and found the ifeless
body.
While there are those who hold to the
belief that there is something very
mysterious connected with Lyle's death
there is no proof as yet that it is not
a case Of suicide. There is no known
reason why the man should have
sought death. His wealth is estimated
at over 100000. Last week he sold a
farm of $40 acres in this county for
500 per acre. He is possessed of other
property, his real estate holdings in
this place amounting to $4,000 or sS,-
900 The barn on the home place is
only a short distance from the house,
and as Mrs Llye was awake at the
time it is considered peculiar that she
did not hear the shot from the heavy
revolver
y MIR. Llye was living with his third
wife, first and second wives having
died. He is also survived by one son,
who, is in the regular army but at what
point he is stationed is not known
here.

j.
oyster Bay, June 15.-President
Roosevelt today received the follow
ing dispatch from Governor Terrell Of
Georgia:
"The publication to the effect that
Mitchell or myself feels aggrieved to-
ward you or that you are responsible
for shortening the Georgia day exer-
cises at the Jamestown exposition is
absolutely unwarranted. In explaining
the hurried manner in which the pro-
gram was carried out stated to q
number Of prominent Georgians and
several newspaper reporters that the
review consumed more time than was
estimated. Hence it was necessary to
cut out or cut off some of the after
noon engagements, and after hurried
discussion we agreed 1t would be bet
ter to shorten the time allotted for
these engagements rather than cut out
any of them, and I considerably
abridged my remarks at the Georgia
building. You did likewise.
Personally and as governor, I wish
to thank you for lending your presence
to Georgia day and assure you that
every true Georgian feels likewise. The
sentiment OF the official badges for
that day expresses the sentiments of
every such Georgian, whether at
Jamestown or at home. Our coun-
try's president and Georgla's grand
SON. 1 consider Georgia day at the
jamestown exposition great success
and that you made it So"

Discovery Yet to Be Made.
(Boston Herald.)


Sir Hugh Bells suggestion that some
yet-to-be- discovered mechanism will
be used to propel ships across the
ocean without steam or other power
generated on board is not so fantastic
as it may seem. Many recent inven-
tions, now so common as to pass un-
remarked, were once marvels-little
less than miracles. Sir Hugh says that
power from Niagara could be trans
mitted by wireless mechanism to the
ship. But how about the power OF
the tides? How about the friction OF
the clouds? When some one discovers
way of concentrating and applying
the currents of electricity which run
thru the earth source of power Will

power of Niagara is as summer
