nn1GN or APpoMATToX.

The following is taken from inc
Appomattox Times-Virginian:
The request in the last issue OF
sbis uaper for the origin Of the
name Appomattox recalled a most
interesting incident Of my schooi
.davs-the writing OF a paper ON
s.The Origin Of Geographical
Names" In my research Tor mater
ial for that paper. learned that
q Virginia geographical name con-
tanning many soft, sweet yowe!s
is usually OF Indian origin and full
of meaning, frequently describing
very beautifully some natural fea-
ture of the country. Several
vars ago the United States Geolo-
e,csg Survey issued a book on the
origin of certain place names IN
the United States. and among them
was the name Appomattox, which
was said to be derived from an In
dian word meaning "a tobacco plant
conntrv,' Authorities, however
often differ as to the origin OF
many names. and if other readers
can give different derivation
should like to have it published.

The Suffolk Herald comes TO us
this week with an explanation OF
the failure OF the daily experiment

ON the seashore should have done
so hazardous a thing, and stranger
stiu that it is going to repeat the
experiment. Ia the same editorial
of explanation the writer proceeds
to say

More Sulphur Wells.

The recent discovery OF sulphur
well in the vicinity OF La Junta has
been the inspiration for much face
tious comment on the part OF the
Arkansas Valley press TO the effect
that this burg is m close proximity
TO the neither regions. The fact that
another sulphur well has been discov-
cred In this vicinity may cause some
of the rest of us to sit up and take
cognizance of the fact that there
may be Just cause for entertaining
a suspicion Of this character.
The latest sulphur well is located
on the lands included in the irrigation
project of the Benton Canal and Res
eryolr Company. ten miles southwest
of La Junta. Alfred Coleman. who
came to this country three years
ago from Missouri, owns two or three
sections OF land near Rene. a small

and put down two artesnn wells on
his property. but II was while putting
down surface well that he encoun-
tered a flow OF water at a depth OF
10 feet that is strongly permeated
with sulphur. Unlike the washburn
well In North La Junta the water is
so sulphurous that II is not 1T TO
drink or to use for domestic purposes.

being analyzed by City Chemist

 Roosevelt has scored the initial success" he said, but there is dan ger that the tables may yet be turned on him. Roosevelt is fighting one of the most corrupt set of politicians in the history of New York, and he will have to keep his eyes open all the time after the convention as we'll as during it, to prevent falling into a trap of their laying

Chicago, Sept. 27.-Unless the diff ferences between the Postal Tele- graph company and its employees is patched up in the next few days, 1t Is possible the city of Chicago, if not the whole United States, will be involved in telegraph strike.
 Officers of the local union say they are prepared to strike and that the support of the Order of Railway Teleg- phers' union has been promised to them.
 The trouble started over the alleged dismissal by the company of several men for attending union meetings and for Joining unions.
 The men declare they will insist on having the right to join any organiza- ton they see fit and that if the com pany fails to agree with them they will call a strike.

New York Tailor Wins Suit for $1,o62, Alleged Debt-Receiver May

New York, Sept. 29.-Robert Win throp Chanler, the terms of whose pre-nuptial agreement with Mme.

Barnes, $1,062 in satisfac- tion of Judgment obtained by Barnes in the city court, or find his property subject to levy by the sheriffs of New York and Duchess counties.
 If the executions were returned un satisfied, the next step might be an application for the appointment of a receiver for Chanler.
