More Good Coal Found in Sonth-
ern Bates.

Gus Seelinger, who was in town
from the country east of the river,
stated that the drillers who have been
working on his land for some time
past had just penetrated a fine four
foot vein of coal at a depth of between
rs and 80 feet. The coal was found
directly under a thick vein of hard
slate, which would afford a good
"roof" in working the coal, and Mr..
Seelingef is confident that it will
prove a big thing for him. :,
There is vast amount of good coal
underlying much of the land east of
the river, and all Of it will be worked
sooner or later.-Review.

May Be Richard Girls Assailant,

The city marshal Of Springfield,
Mo-, has arrested a suspicious charac-
ter whom he thinks fills the descrip-
ton Of the Richards rapist, says the
Nevada Post.
When arrested, he was wearing an
old coat, which was torn in the back,
and he was trying to trade it off.
Sheriff Baugh received the coat by
express today, and it will be sent to
Richards to see if Miss Allen, the
victim of the rape, can identify ii.
The Springfield marshal is holding
the man on a charge of vagrancy un-
til Sheriff Baugh can give the matter
thorough investigation.

conclusion: A remedy which cured
years ago, which has kept the kidneys

lieved me of pains in my back, hips,
and weakness of my kidneys"
The above statement was given in
March, 1905, and was confirmed by
Mrs. Debow on Nov. 80, 1903, as fol-
lows: II still think as highly of
Doan's Kidney Pills as did two years
ago, when they brought me such
great relief. l use box of this

SUGGESTION ACCEPTED.

How the duke of Connaught came
to be called Patrick and to receive
his Irish title is the subject Of an In
teresting story. When Queen Vic
toria, after her first visit to Ireland,
was leaving Dublin in August, 1s49,
she drove to KiRgstown, and on the
way an old Irish woman called to
her; "Musha, ma'am, won't you
call your next son Patrick" Queen
Victoria nodded smilingly; And sure
enough her son born in the follow
ing year received the name Of Pat
rick among others and ultimately
was created duke Of Connaught.

scHU5ERT's WONDERFUL GIFT.

Many pianists have noticed that
the ability to carry on a conversation
and at the same time play upon an
instrument is by no means unusual.
1t is thus proven that it is really
possible to do two things at once.
The piano playing is under such cir
cumstances the automatic result of
many previous repetitions. Schu-
bert, however, was gifted with the
ability Of holding a running CONVEX
sation and at the same time writing
down entirely new and original mu-
steal compositions. Those who knew
him well used to state that the mu-
steal side Of his nature existed like a
separate and different thing.

Vote For Hamlet.

Aside from being our neighbor,
Prof. Hamlet, of Hopkinsville, is
one of Kentucky's best school men,
and he is entitled to the support of
every Democrat in the county at the
State primary on the 1st of July.
The Democrats of Trigg should not
become Indifferent as to the outcome
of the primary, as men like Ollie
James and Prof. HAMLET are deserv-
ing of our support. and all Trigg
county Democrats should take at
least an hour or two off in the after
noon and go to their voting precinct
and vote for the men of their choice.

welcomed them kindly and Captain

wagging his tail, showed his teeth
and growled ominously. Cummins
stepped outside the gate and called;
