SIMPLIFYING COMPANY IS SAID TO BE ON
 VERGE OF FAILURE

Joplin. Mo, February 1.-The A. B. largest zinc concerns in the United States, isfsaid to be on the verge of bank ruptcy and confirmation Of a rumor to the effect was made tonight by A. B. Cockerill of Nevada, Mo, president of the company, who says the National Commerce bank of St. Louis and George F. Nicholson of Kansas City, who hold tent of $1 POO, GOO, has been in charge of the companys properties for several days.
 According to MT. Cockerill, formal an- nouncement of the assignment will be made tomorrow. The company owns smelters in Altoona and many other places in Kansas Nevada and Missouri.
 The smelters at Gas City and Altoona alone are now in operation. In all tie plants the company has 26 furnaces, with total weekly capacity of 200 tons of pre-
 Failure to recover from the effects of the panic of 1907. together with the pres ent ore situation, are given as reasons for the failure by MT. Cockeril
 "The price of spelter has not increased in proportion to the price of ore in the Joplin district. where we obtain our sup pies' said he. "and this, coupled with the embarrassment which has existed since we were forced to issue bonds in 1907, has caused the failure. The bond holders have been in practical control of our properties for the last four days, and expect formal assignment tomorrow. I understand it is their intention to con- tinue operation of the plants provided ore prices do not advance to a prohibi- tive extent"
 The company is capitalized at 8, coo GOO, and is one of the heaviest buyers of ore in the Joplin district.

CIRCUIT COURT
 JUDGE IS SEVERE

Charleston, W. Va. February 7.-"Never in the history of this court had there been revealed so much evidence of per jury, bribery and corruption unblushingly carried out as appears in the depositions in this court, sufficiently so to cause any sef-respecting citizen to hang his head in shame"
 This was the declaration of Judge Bur- dette in the circuit court here today in dismissing an injunction suit brought to prevent C. L. Topping from voting as a member of the city council Topping was elected as a "wet" to succeed John ". Cook, dry advocate, his success It the polls having been at least partly due to a telegram purporting to be from Cook and announcing the latter's resigna- tio1 from the contest. Later Cook de- nounced the wire message as a fake" Bitterness was added to the case by tho fact that the council is almost evenly di- vided between the ''wets" and "drys.'
 When the injunction suit was brought the lawyers for Topping filed a demurrer to the petition and it was in upholding this demurrer that Judge Burdette made his criticism

M MURDER MYSTERY
 IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, February 7.-Wedged in a boards of a basement floor was found today the body of an unidentified woman, who had first been hacked in the head with some sharp instrument like an ice Ppick and then strangled to death.
 The police believe she was the wife of a ianitor who vacated his quarters in an uptown apartment Friday last week. He Tamsen, or Thompson.
 The owner of the apartment house knew little of the former jantor, who had lived quietly in his subterranean quarters until he gave notice that he would remove.
 A foul odor had first indicated to the tenants that something was wrong, and upon their complaint the landlord sum- moned the police.
 An expressman, who had moved Peter son to an address further up town, where he was known as Tamsen, was found. The police traced him, but in his stead was found only q girl of 19 years, who spoke no English, and has thus far re- fused to answer the questions of an in- terpreter.
 The luggage was found to be Petersons and in his kitchen of the new quarters was found a bloody hatchet, and in a trunk was discovered the marriage cer- tifce of August Peterson and Augusta Sophia Arl1man.
 The nameless, silent girl. and a man called Pierre Loisel, who was arrested as he entered the flat where she lived, have been detained. Peterson is still at large

prison at the expense of his wife's honor.
 Mrs. Brooks makes the visit to the apartments of Captain Smith and her pure womanhood awakens spark Of manhood in the rough seaman, which has slumbered there unknown even To himself. Williams grants the release Of Joe In written resignation which ab- solves the defaultlng collector and Mrs. Brooks aceomplishes her purpose in safe- ty. On her return home she discovers the very utmost depth of Joe's depraved nature when he dares to question her honesty. No woman in her right mind could continue to live with such cur and after summing up his weakness and pie turing him in his utter worthlessness, Mrs. Brooks leaves her husband to re- turn no more. It is the natural conclusion Of such a story. By her heroic strug- gle with Captain Williams the wife ab- solves herself from the blame of caus- ing Joe 10 steal in order to provide her with the comforts of life.
 The company did very well. Frank c. Burton as Captain Williams played that character in convincing style and Edna Brothers acquitted herself well as the wife. Thomas Coffin Cooke as Joe Brooks played a difficult part with much success and William s. Lyons as James Smith. an all-round good fellow, had popular part with which he did very well. Flor ence Robinson as Mrs. Harris, and Hazel Chapple as Beth Harris managed minor roles acceptably.
 There will be matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight.

CAPTAIN KOLB HERE.
Evergreen Man Expresses Hope He He Made Agriculture Commissioners.

The presence of Captain Reuben L. Kolb, candidate for commissioner of agri- culture. in Birmingham recalled to many people his past services to the people of the state. The following is & letter 10 the Evergreen Courant which strongly endorses him.
 Editor The Courant:
 The state executive committee having met and set the day for the primary election for state officers, it is good policy for us to begin 10 look around and If possible to pick the very best man for the office to which he aspires.
 This county is very largely agrioul- tural, hence is supremely interested in who they elect for the office of com- missioner of agriculture and industries. We want some man who has heretofore shown his ability in this line. and who has the interest of the farming world at heart.
 Such a man is the Hon. Reuben F. Kolb. who while occupying the position in years past, lent so much energy and in- telligent comprehension to the duties oi the office that the state was brought into notice and wherever the ability and the progressiveness of a state officer was appreciated, his name was foremost in the line of his duties
 We will not refer to the unholy war that was made on him at that time, as those that were his sworn bitter enemies in that fight are now his most ardent sup porters
 trust that he will have no opposition but that the people of the state win con cede to him, in his mature years, the right Of a unanimous endorsement.
 His friend, r. fi J. C. CHENEY.
