NOT A SUICIDE-A BLESSING

k la Johnson white in flesh and blood, but the wife of Jack Johnson, black and burly champion heavy weight fighter of the world, ended her miserable existence in her Chica- so apartments Wednesday night, when, after requesting a prayer from the lips of her two negro maids, she fired bullet into her brain. Her body must be intelwed by her negro husband in Chicago, because her heart broken mother and other rela- tives in New York refuse to receive it.
 Beautiful and accomplished once al soc 'ety leader iui New York, divorced wife of the famous tuTfman, Peter Duryea, Etta Terry Duryea met Jack Johnson in Pittsburgh. Being an as sec ate of her former husbands rac- ing friends the woman frequently met .he negro champion at select Pittsburgh gatherings and in Janu- ary, 1911, she lest her self-respect and marr ed him.
 The disgracefu union continued unt'l her death, but hers was a mis- erable life and in a wemorseful mo- nett she put an end to ser sufferings
 The Chicago Tribune tells the story in a manner that will make the blood of the average Southerner boil with rage. How any community can tolef- ate such conditions seems to be be- yond reason. The Tribune says:
 "Johnson and his wife never ap- peared to have any trouble and cense- uuence until last winter. Then they ouarreled over some trivial matter. Johnson struck the woman Ill the face ard her accection waned
 "A little later the pug list gave Als wife costly pearl necklace as d balm for her feelings. A month later this was seized by the customs of- ficers for non payment Of duty, and Johnson was frightened into pay ng the duty and heavy fine. That did not improve matters much, and there has Leen good detal of coldness
 "Accordirg to Johnson the woman was going to Las Vegas last nlght with Mrs. Ed. W. Smith, wife of the sporting editor of the American, sup nosedly fer her health. Mrs. Smiths daughter is ill there. A little before train time Mrs. Johnson developed an attack Of nervousness, and her hus- band drove to the station to tell Mrs. Smith that she could not go. on the way back be stopped to see some friends, and arrived at his cafe Just after the shooting.
 s. .The maids, Helen Simmons and .Mabel Bolden, could tell little to the nc1lca. save that the woman had pre- n,ared for retiring and then dismissed them.

FINALLY ADMITS
 HIS APPOINTMENT Dr. Thompson Says He Has "Grave Doubts" However
 of Being Installed.

 ing Effect.

Four days after the Graphic pub lished stcry rece ved from It's h. ternational News Service correspond en- al Washington, D. C., and twcl days after the article had been veri- lied by the co,resp spondent at Beverly, Mass, where President Taft is spend- Ing short vacat on, to the effect that pr. R. c. Thompson had been appo mt ed to the pos mastership at Pine Bluff, which was denied by the an polnase, ridiculea by Majcr F. c. Furth, the present incumbent. and doubted by many, Dr. Thompson yes- terday admitted that several days age, he received the notif cation and bland bend from c. P. Grandf cid, first as slstant postmaster ereral.
 Tie motif cation is without all hnr- lty, n that it does not give Dr. Thompson the right to take immedl- ate Charge of the postoffice, but di- rects him to send in the blank bond properly filed out. Upon receipt of the comm ssion which, it is stated, has been signed by the President, the new postmaster will relieve Major feurth of his duties.
 A telegram received yesterday from Major Furth at Little Rock states that no appointment has been made but tie official commun cation re- ceived by Dr. Thompson settles all doubt ill the matter.
 Though victory has at last crowned Dr. Thompson's fight for the federal office, Wh oh he has carried on for years, he is net entirely sat sfied with the situation and yesterday ex- pressed grave doubts' as to ever re- ceivne the commss on.
 When asked in which d rection his i doubs lay, Dr. Thompson ated there are q thousand and che little reasoGs to prevent my receipt of the comm ssion,' but at the same time ne was more of the opinion that he would be, installed Apparently here are forces at work fcr and aga nst the appointment which are not being given publlcity.~
 Dr. Thompson has been fight ng for the office for number of years. At one time he received the endorsement of the regular Republ can crganiza- tion of Jefferson county, but failed to receise the sanction of the State CT ganizat or. Later he received the en- {, dcrsei.lent of both the county and state committees, but the appointment was held up at Washington on ac- count of the opposit on by the citi- zens of Pine Bluff, hundreds signing petitions which were forwarded to the postoffice department. It is pos sible that this same publ oppositi ln is the main force that causes the grave doubts expressed by Dr. ThCmpson.
 However, as leader of the Repub,i- can party in Jefferson county, Dr. ThoEnson has kept up h's fight for the office and succeeded to the ex- tent that Postmaster Furth was not appointed when his last term exp red MT. Furth has been continued in of flee without appointment as a "hold over"
 Wlen the commission is received when in all probability will be sev- eral weeks yet, pr. Thompson will assume charge of the postoffice, but it is doubtful # the appointment is confirmed al the session of congress which will convene in December.

Very Low Cost Shown.

rived from the direct sale OF ore were
credited to the cost or operation the
cost per pound of copper produced from
concentrates would be about G.3 cents,
which compares favora.bly with any low
cost production in large quantities where
there were no precious metal values

cost OF making copper. For the month
OF july, when the quality Of ore was
such as to permit OF good mill recoveries,
the regular cost was under cents per
pound
