Vocal and Instrumental
Lessons.

Next to the voice the violin is
the best liked of all tone produc-
ers. To those having the gift of
ear the violin is the easiest of
all instruments to learn. With
out this faculty of discrimination
the violin is. impossible. The
writer has perfected a contact
spring, to be attached to the bow,
that does away with most evils
that beset beginner. Clutching
the bow is rendered impossible,
and the dreadful scratching and
scraping need offend no more.
The cost is trifing and it may be
put on by any one in a minute.
BY its aid the young player can
execute with delightful ease and
fuency, and music heretofore
found difficult and unyielding
ceases to be so for evermore. The
violin tone as distinguished
from that Of the fiddle, is produc-
ed by kilfuls bowling. With the
contact springon your bow the
violin tone is yours from the
start.
It is my purpose, to organize a
mandolin and guitar orchestra in
Hendersonville and I shall be
pleased TO. have all interested in
this or any other from of must
cal effort address me concerning
the same. E. L. BAILEY,

Keene, N. H, whose husband was very

could do it, when she had to give up this
delicacy because of d~isagreeable after
effects. She writes as follows:

made with Cottolene; and as / am a

Tie Automobiles.

Referring to Contractor Henry
Jordan's experience recently,
when he met an automobile near
the Brevard tracks and his horse
ran away, it is said the horse ran
after meeting the auto and that
the machine was not the cause
of the accident. At all events,
it is generally known that the
owners and driver of this parti-
cular machine are extremely con-
siderate and careful, and use
every precaution to avoid an ac-
cident of any sort. At the time
MI. Jordan's horse ran away,
Mr.. r. c.. Clarke, treasurer of the
Clarke Hardware Company, was
driving a spirited animal past the
same machine. One of the party
Immediately got out and quieted
the animal.
The statement that the auto
mobile, "as usual, moved on
swiftly down the hill, was hard
ly correct and is not just to the
owners or to the men in the ma
chine at the time.
There are some owners of the
devil wagons who think their
rights are supreme. There are,
of course, exceptions.

CITY FUNDS IN LOOTED BANK.
Bank Sustained Greater Loss Than
Defalcation CHARGED to Cashier.

Bank sustained Greater Loss man
DefaIcation Charged to Cashier.
Pittsburg, May 20.-The closing of
the Allegheny National bank yester-
day morning by the controller of the
currency was the direct cause of the
failure last evening of Carothers &
Co., one Of the largest brokerage
concerns in the city, according to the
statement Of the receiver for the lat
ter firm.
With more than $1,50O,000 of it's
funds tied up Indefinitely as a result
of the suspension of the bank, the city
of Pittsburg finds itself confronted
with the possibility of being forced to
meet current expenses.
Banks Loss Is Heavy.
That the bank in some manner sus
tanned a much greater loss than the
embezzlement Of 100000 cash and
$125,000 worth of securities charged
to Former Cashier Montgomery, is ap-
parent from all of it's recent state
ments, which show that it could sus-
tain a loss approXimating 100000

City Treasurer J. F. Steel last week,
when he made inquiries as to the
citys deposits Of s1,546,953, was told,
he claims, by Bank Examiner William
L. Folds and by officers of the bank
that the alleged shortage was about
100000 and that the bank could pay
that out of it's surplus and undivided
profits and continue business without
interruption.
City Funds Left in Bank.
Explaining why the city's funds
were not withdrawn as soon as the
shortage was discovered, Treasurer
Steel said he was told that if an at
tempt was made to do so it would
force the closing of the bank, and in
that event the city could not be paid.
He says he also was assured that the
bank would weather the storm and
meet all of it's obligations. Whether
the city will lose through the failure
is not known.
State Funds There, Too.
The state has on deposit in the
bank $523,477, and State Treasurer
John o. Sheath and Deputy Attorney
General Jesse E. B. Cunningham
came here yesterday to look after
the states interests. Both assert
that there is not the slightest danger
of the state losing anything.
There was no excitement over the

NOES WATCH is IDENTIFIED
Timepiece Found in Possession of Ray
Lamphere Was Property of Elbow
Lake Man.

Laporte, Ind, May 20.-The autop,
sy held yesterday on the remains OF
the seven unidentified dead exhumed
from Mrs. Guinness private burial
ground was completed last evening
and revealed the astounding fact that
one of the seven was a female. This
has aroused new interest in the story
of Emil Greening of Oklahoma City,
Okla, who was employed by Mrs.
Guinness in the fall of 1904. His story
was to the effect that on certain day
in September a man and a woman
came to the house and that night
Mrs. Guinness asked Greening to sleep
in the barn, for the couple, whom she
said were the professor and his wife
from the Los Angeles college which
Jennie was to attend, would spend the
night at the house and would require
Greetings bedroom.
Body of Woman.
In the morning Greening saw moth,
ing of Jennie nor the man and woman
and was informed by Mrs. Guinness
that they had left on an early train,
taking Jennie along. This body,
which is now declared to be that of a
woman, was taken from the same hole
as was that of Jennie Olsen, and in
that hole also were the bodies of Ole
Budsberg of lola, Wis, and the re,
mains of a male person. All the bod
les were dismembered, but the trunks
of the four were such that 1t was pos
sible to identify the bodies of Jennie
Olsen and Mr.. Budsberg, and it made
it possible by yesterdays autopsies to
determine that one of the other two
was that of a female. The theory
now advanced is that Mrs. Guinness
may have murdered not only Jennie
Olsen, but also the man and woman
The disappearance Of Jennie Olsen, as
we'll as the couple, occurred in Sep
TENDER, 1905, while Budsberg was dis
posed of in May, 1907. His body was
nearer the surface than the other
three
Watch Is Identified.
The mystery surrounding the watch
found on the person Of Ray Lamphere
when he was arrested was cleared yes
terday when J. G. Ramden of Manfred
N. D., who came here Sunday to in
vestigate the disappearance of his
half-brother, John Moe, of Elbow
Lake, Mimi, identified the timepiece
as the one owned by his brother when
he left home. Lamphere said that
Mrs. Guinness gave him the watch
Mr.. Ramden is positive that his broth
er was murdered by Mrs. Guinness, but
he was not able to identify any of the
remaining skeletons and so will not
be able to provide proper burial for
his brother The bodies of the seven
unidentified dead will be buried to-
day in the potter's field.
