at the city water works office for some time, where he made good salary.
 Holt came down town this morning and after a short time in the office went up town. At the drug store of McGehee Brothers he secured an empty five grain capsule in which he placed the drug which he had evidently secured some where else before. Swallowing the poison he went back to the office and told some of his associates what he had done They at once sent for doctors who did what they could to restore him. He was sent to St. Margarets hospital, but died in few moments after reaching the ward.
 There seems to have been no cause for the deed other than the fact that he was not doing very well in business and had had much sickness In his family. He had many friends who have been greatly shocked by the deed and who are tender ing great sympathy to his family.

An Interesting Story

The advertising depart ment of the Christian En- deavor World recently made a canvass of their subscribers for the pur- pose of getting informa- tion which might be use- ful to their advertising patrons. Among other questions they were asked if they had a piano in the house, and if so, what make. It was found that over 50 per cent of the readers of the above pub lication had a piano, and that 2250 of them had a CHI c K E R N c. There were nearly 250 different makes of pianos repre- sented, and the Chicker- ing was in more homes than any other. This shows that if you want the most popular, as well as the best piano in Amer ica, you should get a CHICKERING.

Usually, when man pays out his money for anything, he gets what he wants, or there's good, strong kick for the man who sold him a disappointment
 Why isn't this true of cigar purchases? Why has the public been so long-suffering with cigar manufacturers Why will man pay out his good money for poor cigars
 It's hard to say But it's easy enough to see how great many manufacturers take advant- age of this careless buying, and unload inferior cigars on unsuspecting purchasers. This finn flaming game can't last forever.
 Smokers every day are waking up more and more to the fact that
 Cigars are nOUO made better

 Smokers can tell good cigars when they smoke them-and they are fast finding out that cigars in boxes stamped with the Triangle A" are invariably of better quality than cigars which are not guaranteed in this way.
 The Triangle A" on cigar box is sign of honest cigar values-and that's just exactly what the American smoking public has wanted for many day.

Ohio Railway and tho Kentucky lines
known us tho Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Of kentucky. This line is
already owned by tho Chesapeake and
Ohio. but is chartered separately and

new office building any timo soon,
and the need of moro room for the
general officers in view Of the removal
of the passenger department from
Washington to this city, lie replied
that no plans were in prospect at this
time to construct such building.
When he was asked as to the agitation
some years ago OF tho subject of re-
moving the general Offices of tho sys-
TEN to Clifton Forge, and whether
such an idea was still entertained, Mr..
Stevens merely smiled and stated that
he had not heard much about the mat
ter lately.

that only 2 per cent of the people who

ion after personal contact with home

Continuing he says:
mo one need fear his ability to make
the monthly payments If he is as indus
trious as he was before moving into
his own house, for anyone who can
pay his rent promptly can buy his own
home without any more worry than If

lacking and the prevailing impression in
political circles is that II NJ. Clemenceau
