"reminiscences of the Civil War
were made fresh in the memory of
DR.. John @. Brooks, a Confederate
veteran. when recently he was pre-
scented with two oil paintings. one OF
himself and one of the late Charles
Reed, by Conrad Wise Chapman now
of Hampton, Virginia. who was a
member of Company d., of the Third
Kentucky Regiment or Paducah, to-
gether with DR.. Brooks and Mr..
Reed. The picture of Mr.. Reed is
painted on a piece of wood ~ x2 u
inches, after a photograph of the de-
ceased at the age of twelve. DR.
Brooks picture is over two times
larger and is a splendid likeness Of
him. The painting of Mr.. Reed
shows remarkable skill of the artist
in miniature work and was presented
to Mrs. Edmund p. Noble. daughter
of Mr. Reed, Mr. Chapman IS the
son of a distinguished artist of Vir-
ginia. who married a daughter of
Governor Wise. Of Virginia, before
the opening of the war. Some years
later with their son. Conrad. they
went to Italy. where the father
studied. Conrad developed a re-
Inarkable talent for art and studied
with his father. The family was still
in Italy when the war broke out and
Conrad made known his desire to
return to the United States and join
the Confederate army. as his father
was close friend of General Tighl-
man, in command of the forces.
When Conrad came over General
| Tighlman advised him to join the
ranks Of Company ID, of the Third
Kentucky regiment, which was in
camp at Camp Boone. He Joined
and became a warm friend of Or.
Brooks and Mr.. Reed. At times in
camp Chapman made pencil sketches
of the war and DR.. Brooks has sew
eral of these now. After the war
Chapman returned to Italy and some
years later went to Mexico, his life
being largely that of an itinerant
artist, but an excellent one. Leav-
ing Mexico he returned TO his old
home In Virginia. \ few months ago
Mr.. Chapman wrote Dr. Brooks. stat
ing that he had in his possession a
/ photograph of Mr.. Reed. and asked
DR.. Brooks to send a picture of HIM
SELF which the physician did. a
few days ago DR.. Brooks received the
two handsome paintings.

sHIFTY SADIE OF THE SETTLE
MENT


In the county judgeship mill we
are bound to admit Mr.. Barley is
proving shifty on his feet, while
Hazelip is depending principally upon
the force of his blows to put his adj
yersary out for the count. For in
stance Mr.. Barkley in prepared
speech for the Sunday News-Demo-
crat explains his settlement with the
bonding company and subsequent
suit for the balance Of the Smedley
shortages in these words: when he
seeks TO cast a reflection on the
honesty NJ my motives in bringing
this suit. he ought to remember also
that the bonding company is fighting

that the bonding company tried to

MURDER PROBABLE
SUSPICIOUS IN THE DEATH OF WILL
LIAM WILSON.


The funeral services of William
Wilson, who was found dead in his bed
at his room 112 1-2 Monroe Street
Wednesday afternoon, will be held this
morning at $3.50 o'clock from Leak
Undertaking Company's Chapel.
The death of the old man would not
have been so mysterious. as he was 81
years old. II 1t had not been that his
money was missing, and this gives
rise to the opinion among several OF
his friends that possibly he was
drugged and robbed. He was very
careful about his money matters and
always made an entry In his cash book
of his receipts and expenditures and
according to the balance in his cash
book he ought to have had in the
neighborhood of nearly $500.
His friends never knew until they
found his cash book after his death
just how much money he possessed.
for when asked he always said that
he had enough to keep him the rest of
his days. The fact that he carried his
cash with him in preference to deposit
ing 1t in the bank. which many people
knew, also substantiates the suspicion
that presumably he was drugged and
robbed after his retirement to his
room for the night.
Several of his friends. together with
two members of the citys detective
force. made another careful search of
his room again yesterday. which failed
to reveal any trace of the missing
money 1t was thought that possibly
upon retiring he had placed his money
in some uncomfortable place for the
night and so this second search of the
room was made yesterday.
The detectives are still working on
the case, although no clue of the miss
ing fortune has been found as yet.

him on January 20. 1902, 1t was stated

there ever since. bribery being one of
the crimes for which the extradition
treaty with France does not provide.
