Reports to the effect that the death Of Samuel Coleman, the 1l-year -old

 One stated Friday that every symp- tom indicated hydrophobia, while the other thinks the child died of convul- sions caused by intestinal troubles, not uncommon among children of his age.
 The former heard two reports of the boys being bitten by a dog, one saying that 1t occurred last Saturday and another about two weeks ago. AL though from four to six weeks usually elapse before case of hydrophobia develops after a bne of dog with raIG,ies, the first physician is of the opinion that in this case the disesae had taken so intense . hold on the boy that the usual fever even was ab- sent and the child's temperature was below the normal. He was taken i'll Monday, and the consulting physician was called for consultation Wednes- day. The boy died early Thursday morning.

SECRET WORKER
The Plan upon whlch Conee operat'


 Coffee is such secret worker that it is not suspected as the cause of sick ness or disease, but there is very sure way to find out the truth.
 A lady in Memphis gives an inter esting experience her husband had with coffee. Ii seems that he had been us- ing 1t for some time and he was an invalid.
 The physician in charge shrewdly suspected that coffee was the "Worm at the root of the tree" and ordered 1t discontinued with instructions to use Postum regularly in It's place
 The wife says: we found that was the true remedy for his stomach and heart trouble and we would have gladly paid a hundred times the amount of the doctors charge when we found how wise his judgment was;
 ''The use of Postum instead of cDf- fee was begun about year ago. and It has made my husband strong well man. He has gained thirty-fve pounds in that time and his stomach and heart trouble have all disappeared:
 "The first time prepared It did not boil if lono enough and he said there was something wrong With IT. sure enough 1t did taste very nat out the next morning ioiOwea o.feetr1I,S ,,ir utes and he remarked, this Is better than any of the old cofree.'

Steals Brass Screws from Tombs ip Cemetery.
 New Orleans. Dec, 3.-The "meanest sneak thief" in town has been operat- ing in New Orleans His speciality is stealing brass screws from tombs in cemeteries. ,c, t
 The discovery of the depredations committed by the 'meanest sneak thief" was brought to light by Joseph Duthu. a junk dealer, who late yester- day, reported to the sexton Cf St. Louis cemetery that he had purchased 100 screws from a stranger. described as being about 19 years old and we'll dressed. Upon Investigation the sexton found that the screws had been extract ed from the vaults of several tombs in the cemetery, resulting in the marble falling to the ground. doing damage to the amount of $100. The screws are worth between 70 cents and $1.
 The police believe they will discover more of the ghoulish work of the "meanest sneak thief" as an investiga- tion of all the cemeteries Is to be made.

LACk OF ENTHUSIASM.

In view of the fact that the eff
fects Of the paric are rapidly disap-
pearlng. b:iness getting back to
its normal swing and money com
ing out of hiding, there should be
a concerted effort among the people
of Bluefield to induce investors to
head in this direction. There is
plenty of money III the country
held by people %ho are anxious to
haze it earn dividends, and they
are just as willing to have it work
ing in Bluefeld as III some place an
the Pacific coast. Locality does not
enter into the situation when an
investor can be shown something
attractive.
In point OF attractiyeness there
are few, if any places. in the coun-

which We stand sore in need Of is

tagious quality, and it spreads like

that others would incline to the
