"UNCLE SANS BEST GIRL"
The Highest Salaried Woman POST
master i'm the United States.

The highest salary paid to any wo-
man postmaster in the United States
is received by Miss Alice Robertson,
postmaster at Muscogee. Her pay is
$1,000 a year, and she is the only
woman in charge of a postoffice of
the first-class.
Miss Robertson was born in Indian
Territory, her father having been a
widely known missionary to the
Creek Indians in early days. She
comes of old Puritan stock, from
the Winthrop and Edwards families,
and her grandfather was Rev. DR..
Worcester, once imprisoned in Geor-
gia for refusing to relinquish his
work among the Cherokee Indians.
AS a sign of her standing in post
office circles a package addressed
simply to "Uncle Sans Best Girl"
was delivered promptly and correctly
to Miss Robertson.

gan to come up to Daley and take
him warmly by the hand and con-
graduate him in the most impressive
manner.
Then invitations began to come in,
and theatre parties and auto rides;
when wine suppers began to be urg-
ed, he meanwhile not having been
called on to spend a cent, Mr.. Daley
thought it was hardly fair to take
his friends in to such extent and ex-
planned to them that it was all
joke, and an accidental joke at that.
The funniest thing about it all is
that nobody believes it isn't true and
Daley's friends think he is still a
millionaire.

IS LISTING TERRELL COTTON DEATH REVEALED HIS SECRET
PROMINENT ATLANTA MAN MEM.
BIER OF MORMON CHURCH.
Family and Friends Were All Bap-
lists, and He Was Thought to
to Be One, Too.

to Be One, Too.
ATLANTA.-After having lived
secretly in Atlanta as a member of
the Mormon church while his fam
lily, wife and intimate friends were
all members of the Baptist church
and never dreamed of his detection,
j. W. Andrews, merchant of this
city, was found dead in his room
with the gas turned on.
The police are busily engaged on
the case, and have not yet decided
whether it was murder, suicide or
accident.
Considerable mystery attaches to
the fact that Andrews was a Nor
mon. All his friends and family
took for granted he was Baptist
and preparations were made to bury
him according to the rites of the
Baptist church. But search was
made in his trunk, a we'll known
Book of Mormon (the Mormon BIZ
ble) was found, and with it a certifi-
cate of membership showing that he
had Joined the Mormon mission in
Atlanta two years ago.
Had the papers not been found it
is doubtful if the public would ever
have known the story.
These facts have caused something
of sensation in Atlanta, and are
giving rise to speculation as to how
many other secret converts to Nor
monism there may be in the city.
The Mormon Mission is flourishing
institution here, and has about 100
active, acknowledged members. 1t
is as Industrious in working for con-
verts as any christian mission.

LARGE BARN BLOWN DOWN
c. A. SAUNDERS ALSO HAD ONE
MULE KILLED BY TORNADO.
Mill in Randolph County. A
Swarm of Candidates.

SWARM Oh Sanu1UdU6S.
CUTHBERT, Ca, March H.
Especial to The News. "A feeling
of gloom, almost bordering on de-
spondency, is prevalent among the
farmers and business men of this
county. The unusual heavy rains
have paralyzed business, and farm
work is at a standstill. There has
not been more than four or five days
since January LIST that the ground
was really dry enough to plow. True,
most farmers have done more than
four or five days work but the
ground has been plowed too wet, and
not more than one farmer in every
100 has his ground ready to plant
n fact, if the ground was ready to
plant it would be folly to do so now
with the land so full of water.
Farm Acreage Reduced.
1t is predicted that not only the
cotton acreage, but the general farm
acreage in this county will be con-
siderably reduced this year There
are two principal causes for this gem
eral reduction. First, the scarcity
of labor, and, second, the long con-
tinued wet weather, which has pre-
vented the farmer from preparing as
much ground as he otherwise would
have DONE
A heavy wind and rain storm pass
ed over this county at an early hour
Friday morning and did considerable
damage, mostly to standing timber.
The heaviest of the storm seems to
have been five or six miles southeast
OF Cuthbert, where the large barn on
the plantation of Mr. G.. A. Saunders
was blown down. One of his best
mules was killed and another badly
crippled.
Saturday, the 10th, was the last
day on which candidates can pay
the required fee and register their
names with the executive committee.
In just little more than two weeks
the ball will cease to roll, and ten
or twelve defeated candidates will
resume their usual avocations.
Old Time Flour Mill.
l noticed in The News a few days
ago that Hon. ]. r. Mercer of Daw-
son is putting in a first-class Touring
mill, which is bound to be profita-
BILE investment for Mr.. Mercer as
well as a convenience to the wheat
growers of this section. 1t was stat
ed that heretofore the wheat grow
ers Of this section have been COM
PEELED to ship their wheat away in
order to get it ground, but the writer
overlooked the fact that the r. F.
Crittenden Co. has a first-class old
time Touring mill two and a half
miles northwest of Shellman, and
that they grind immense quantities
of wheat every year. 1t is not pat
ent roller mill, and hence cannot
turn out as white flour the the new
process, but it is fine flour, and would
answer any purpose much better
than paying Sc or 81 per barrel for
flour made from western wheat if
our farmers could be made to see it.
l may say something to The News on
this subject of wheat growing later
on if the editor can find space for
it in his crowded columns.

Few Moments.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. /
CHICAGO, Feb. 13-'.H women de-
sire to smoke in this hotel we will
provide private places in which they
may do It, This was the statement
given out by the management of the
Auditorium Hotel today following the
sensation caused among dinner guests
in the main dining hall last night
when handsomely dressed woman
was seen to light diminutive ciga-
rette and contentedly pulled the
smoke between sips of her coffee.
A waiter quickly requested OF her
escort that "the lady will please not
smoke here" Another long puff ana
the cigarette was dropped into plate
and the couple left the room. They
were guests at the hotel and their
identity was carefully concealed.

HAMILTON INVESTIGATES
The Judges Inquiries Result In the
Establishing Of Long Prison
Record Of Local
Negro.

With cast down countenancc, Aug
ustus George Mason appeared before
Judge Hamilton this morning to re-
ce1ve sentence for grand larceny. He
had been hoping against hope that the
result of the courts investigation
would free him but to no avail.
Judge Hamilton had been in com
munication with officers at different
points both here and in other parts of
the country and the replies given
would indicate that Mason had quite
a police record wherever he had been.
One term in the Jefferson City, Mo-,
prison and number of lesser sent
ences make the negroes statements
seem to be merely an effort to i'm
pose upon the kind heart of the Judge.
1t will be remembered that Mason
was indicted for stealing iewelry
amounting to nearly one hundred dol
lars from the Culkins home at 500
High street while employed to help
III housekeeping. The vaIuables had
heen left in various places and as he
had free access to all the rooms it
was comparatively easy matter for
him to get away with the jewels Part
of them he pawned in this city and
others were sold in Burlington where
he was arrested. Quite number OF
them were found on him when search
ed Immediately after his arrest.
He was sentenced at ten o'clock to
serve five years in the state reforma.
tory at Anamosa.

More street illumination for the
levee district and for West Keokuk
was announced at the city offices to-
day in connection with the improve.
ments and changes which are to be
brought about by the rehabilitation
of the street lighting system.
At the present time on the levee
there is only one arc light. Near the
coal sheds there is a string of four
incandescent lights, and it is the In
tention to do away with these and in
place put in another arc. This would
give much more lighting and would IL
Illuminate the tracks approaching the
west end of the bridge.
In West Keokuk there long has
been a demand for several more
lights. One is to be put at the corner
OF William and / streets and the
second at the corner of Pleasant and
Walsh streets. In the former instance
there has been petition on file for
some time.
Stone G Webster are now rewriting
the city for the street lights and the
city today decided to order the new
ones installed.
