WANT STATION KEPT
 AT MOUNTAIN CREEK
Citizens at We'll Attended Meeting Re- quest Louisville and Nashville
 to Abandon Idea

Mountain Creek, July 4.-(Special)- After the lapse of years the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company has de- termined to move the depot from Noun tain Creek to a point one-half mile away, in order to combine the agency at Marbury with the one here. Such removal will work great hardship on the property owners at Mountain Creek as well as on the Soldiers home.
 At well attended meeting of the citizens, held on yesterday. a petition to the Louisville and Nashville officials was prepared asking that they abandon the idea. In the event the petition should not receive favorable consider stion the matter will be taken up with ta railroad commission.
 Thre miles from hlountain Creek there is fine deposit of brown iron ore. The >filton County Mining and ManufacturinA company has just com pleted a narrowA uge road to the scene of operations, and re moving toward the erection of a washer for the ore.
 While the people here were all en- thusiastic for Underwood, their hats are now in the air for Wilson and Marshall. Not much shouting for Bryan.

New York, July -(special)-The re- ported loss of many thousands of dollars by the sinking of the Titanic a few weeks ago, calls attention to the fact that the government of the United States Ire orently benefits by the misfortunes of the people. It never can be known what amount of United States money went down with the Titanic, but whatever the sum, the treasury department has just so much additional to it's credit, as It can never @be presented for redemption.
 week rarely or never passes that the treasury department does not receive for redemption a number of packages containing money that has been partly destroyed by fire and in all cases where inc bills can be satisfactorily identified new money is issued therefor; but fre- ouently only a portion of the bill re- mains and in that event, If three-1fths of the note can be identified the full
 face value is returned to the owner, but if less than three-ffths can be identified
 only one-half of the value is returned. These losses by fire aggregate each year a very large sum; but what has become of the millions of dollars of which there is no trace, is an unsolevd problem. Treas ury officials speak of the great fires that
