GRAFTON, Jan. 1S.-'Squire Chas.
r. Lilly of this city. has been ap-
pointed United States Commission

to-day he is at Parkersburg for the
purpose OF receiving his commission
and transacting such other business
as is necessary to taking the oath of

Gle Sam in the capacity In which he

In Just right in connection with his
office as Justice of the Peace for Graf
ton district. The new position, we
understand. will pay about fifteen hun
bred dollars year. and the duties
necessary thereto may be transacted
in conjunction with the duties Of
justice Of the peace. Squire Lilly, we
understand, has received this appoint
ment upon his own merits. and be-
cause of the intelligent manner in
which he has conducted number of
cases that have been sent from his

State. His duties in the new office
will be In the nature of according pre-
liminary hearings to federal prisoners,
and will embrace also such other du-
ties as are usually transacted by Unit
ed States commissioners. The ap-
pointment comes in the nature of
high tribute to Squire Lillys ability,
and upon his return to the city from
Parkersburg he will doubtless receive
the hearty congratulations of large
number of close friends. and in which
this paper desires also to join. Squire
Lilly has made fine record as justice

upon as one of the most intelligent in
the county.

Disappeared
NO CLUE TO WHEREABoUTs OF
YOUNG BRIDE-Is THOUGHT
INSANE,

RALEIGH, Jan. IS. - Mrs. Rachel
Martin, bride of two or three weeks,
who lived with her husband at Der.
rytown, near Meadow Creek station,
on the C. & 6. is mysteriously missing
from her home.
Just a short while before day on
the morning OF the 9th, she arose.
leaving her husband in bed, and I'M
der some pretense, it seems. went to
a down stairs room in her night
clothes. AS she did not return as
soon as expected, Mr.. Martin got up
to see about her She was nowhere
to be found. Search was soon made
by the neighbors. A deep frost lay
on the ground that morning, and they
tracked her about half mile along
a wagon road up the creek. Here, it
is supposed. she turned aside Into the
woods there being no further trace OF
her course visible. The most careful
search of the country around gives no
clue to her whereabouts or her fate.
The tracks in the frost were made
by her bare feet, and it is believed she
wore only her night clothes. The
neighbors attribute her strange &C.
tion to insanity.
Mrs. Martin was good woman and
respected by her neighbors. She was
the daughter of the Widow Carter, of
Meadow Creek, and a niece of George
w. Smith. deputy assessor of Rich
mond and Shady Springs districts, this
county.

NEW RUSSIAN LOAN.

PARIS, Jan. 1S.-Paris financiers
are completing plans for a new Rus
sian loan, which will be launched with
in few weeks. The loan, as usual
will be guaranteed by the fact that TIL,
coupons are legal tender for the pay
ment of customs dues. The Russian
government has been sounded on the
proposition of temporary alienation
of her revenues as security for loan
but this has been refused. This is in
line with the past action of the Cars
government, which. during the war
with Japan, repeatedly rejected all
offers of loans guaranteed by one OF
the various government monopolies.

MRS POTTER PALMER
: ouTWlTs HER RIVALS
She Retains Her Position Though
Many Would Depose Her.

Chicago society mas made many
vain efforts to depose Mrs. Potter
Palmer from her position as leader,
says The Delineator for January. One
summer, large number of the young
er society women, under the leader
ship of Mrs. Joseph GriswoId Cole
man, announced a Streets OF Paris
fete, whose date antedated the Pal
mer ball, already announced for the
next winter, by one month precisely.
The fete ran for four days and nights
in the Coliseum, on the lake shore,
where national political conventions
are held and the expenses alone. in
Cured before the doors were thrown
open, were said to be thirty-five thou
sand dollars. The net gain was re.
ported somewhere In the neighbor-
hood of forty thousand dollars. but
behind that enormous sum. as the re-
suit of a single fete. lies many Il
whispered story OF feminine graft.
Two weeks before the Streets OF
Paris fete opened in December. Mrs.
Palmer came TO town with the Fred.
erick Dent Grnts and the Prince and
Princess Cantacuzene-the latter, as
the world knows. is her niece-and
answered all the swIrllng conjecture
by announcing that the chrity bali
would be given on New Yer's eve. as
usual. Then with her party she left
for the west. and returned only in
time to be present one night at the
fete. A few days later in the char
ity ball announcements. Mrs. Joseph
Griswold Coleman appeared fifth in
the list of eight names which made
up the executive committee, and all
was outward peace, but the undertow
was strong and treacherous. The one
fact that stands out, clear as crystal,
against the smoke of battle, is that

LYNN cARNgAEIA SAFE AND
SOUND AT HOME ONCE
AGAIN.
TIRED OF SCHOOL, he STARTED
OUT TO SEEK HIS
FORTUNE.

WHEELING. Jan. 1s.-It's Just the
same old story. The only interesting
feature is that the foolish lail, in this
instance, is Lynn carnahan, 15-year-
old son Of w. B, carnahan. the we'll
to.do farmer and dairyman of Mount
olivet. Fairmont pike. four miles east
of Wheeling, who mysterlously disap-
peared last Monday week ago.
It was plain. ordinary runaway
after all. Even Lynn. with all his
foolish dreams of what he would do
in the world shattered, will admit
this. Lynn is back on the farm. going
to school, milking the COWS and doins
what every other country lad must do.
But he is much wiser lad than he
was two weeks ago.
Tired of School.
Lynn got tired of country life. He
got tired of school; tired of his school.
mates: tired of the teacher and the
little schoolhouse; tired of everything
and nearly everybody in Mount olivet.
He even got tired of home all of a
sudden. Like many other country
lads he had heard wondrous tales of
what city boys can do. They had all
the opportunities; he had none: SO he
thought. He had had enough of plain.
ordinary farm life. The city for his.
He yearned for freedom" He
wanted no restraint upon his lll-ad.
vised ambition. No parental restric-
lions for Lynn. He wanted to be his
own boss and do things. He would
show his parents and his schoolmates
that Lynn Carnahan was not going
to be a farmer boy all his life.
SO He Ran Away.
So Lynn ran away. This was Mon
day, January G. A hue and cry was
raised, Parents, relatives and police
began to search for him. There was
talk Of kidnapping and enticing. His
poor mother began to imagine all
sorts of terrible things that might
have happened to Lynn. For was he
not too good a boy to run away?
j. Marshall. neighbor farmland,
had said Lynn told him he was run
ming away the morning young Carna,
had rode into Wheeling with Marshall.
But, it seems. the story of Mr.. Carna-
hans former farmland was disbe.
lieYed by the parents and relatives.
though the city police thought it very
probably true.
Lynn had little money. He had
plenty of determination. He secured
help from some city friends and went
to West Alexander. He got there the
last OF last week. and he walked some
of the way, too.
He was footsore and weary. He
tried to get work there. but could not.
He had imagined himself big AMI
strong and able to do anything. Per.
sons from whom he asked work
seemed to think him little nothing.
He ToddIed Home.
There was only one thing to do.
Toddle home. He did It, And he does
not regret It. In fact, he believes he
never did better thing in his life.
He got home last Tuesday. a little
sad lad with his eyes opened to what
the world really is.
Now he is contented to be country
boy.

This prediction for English, or. rather.
Scotch nurses on the part Of foreign royalty Is
attributable in the first place to the fact that
they are regarded as more reliable and more
possessed Of independence common sense and
knowledge of infant sanitation than women Of
the same class Of any other nationality Then.
too Scotch women are famed throughout Eu-

charms Of man. and especially of women, and
the influencing Of the voice Of childhood through
