KILLING CONFESSED BY CLARK
Citizen of Cuthbert Tells That He
Killed Negro Found on Railroad
Track. But Gives No Reason.

The gruesome story of crime
committed near Cuthbert Friday
night and the placing of the body on
the Central railroad track shortly
before the arrival of the train due in
Dawson at 9:31 o'clock was told here
Saturday.
Shortly after the train left Cuth-
bert the headlight revealed the body
of a man lying on the rails some dis
lance ahead. The train was brought
to an immediate stop.
Investigation revealed the fact
that the dead man, a negro, had been
shot through the back OF the head.
The dead negro was identified as
Arthur Brown, and during Saturday
L. C. Clark, a resident of Cuthbert,
confessed to the murder. Clark s
confession was of his own free Will,
but he will give no reason for his
act.

Lawyers Are Consulted.
Judge Cheatham is consulting at
torneys with view, it is understood,
of taking legal steps to secure the
office. In a statement given the re-
porter he said: The Ordinary states
that he realized that he had made a
mistake in refusing to act as clerk OF
the commissioners of roads and reYe-
nues. and. that he went before the
board (the present commissioners
and so stated and said that he now
desires. as far as possible, to correct
that mistake, and offered to serve
them and rendered his services as
their clerk, which they, the commits
sioners, refused to accept, and elect
ed another clerk without his having
refused to serve them.
When Mr.. Worthy was seen he said
that he had no statement to make
except that he was regularly elected
to the office and expects to discharge
its duties as long as he gives salts
faction to the commissioner and the
public or is removed by legal pro-
cess

Pauodaa In Burma.

Eight or nine miles below Mandaiay
In Burma, the right bank OF the Ira
waddy is billy, and In the neighbor'
hood of the old Burmese town Of Sa-
gazing the hills are dotted all over with
pagodas. These are not temples. says
a writer in the Wide World Magazine,
but are built by pious people as offer
ings to the supreme power, it being
generally believed that such acts of
devotion count to the builders credit
in the next world. The pagodas are
of all kinds. according to the means
of the builders, from primitive white
washed structures to ornate erections
with grotesque gilded lions. The lions
have various meanings, but stand
chiefly as a reminder Of unselfish de
votion. An ancient Burmese legend,
taught to all Burmese children, is that
of a lioness who nursed and guarded
the baby son of king and who died
of a broken heart when the prince
grew up and went away.

Our Wonderful Eyes.

Is there anything so wonderful as
the eye? No matter how cold the
weather may be. the eye never fails.
In the widest of billiards., when the
thermometer registers many degrees
below zero. when the feet and fingers
freeze. when the throat freezes. when
even the torso. swathed in sweaters
and chamois skin vestings. freezess
when the nose and ears are frost bit
ten. when the hair even crackles in the
blast-when all is lost apparently, the
eyes suffer no pain. but continue to per-
form their normal functions The peo-
pie of the most inclement, most frig1d
regions of the extreme north bundle up
everything but their eyes. The eyes
are never frostbitten. They seem to
suffer only in a strong wind which car
ries in its current some irritating sub
stance. And yet. Notwithstanding this,
the eyes are the most sensitive OF our
several organs.

The limo Table.

The time table was invented In the
days when the railways had SO many
faults that something had to be done
to divert attention Of the public.
The ordinary one road time table Is
confusing enough, but the sort that at
feet to offer information as to the run
ming of trains on connecting lines are
the ones that cause strong men to leap
from the clutch of their keepers and
race choo-chooing hither and yon.
You are going to take No. g from
Oopsqush to Ippleding on the o. e..
you leave No. at Gonsofar and con
meet with No. 80 on the p. L. and q.
@. for Wibbleville, where you catch No.
II. The man who sells you the ticket
makes this plain to you. But. when
you try to unravel the time card you
discover that you are also governed by
Note B and three or four references. At
Wibbleville you learn that No. II. ac-
cording to Note q, runs only on Thurs
days when it is raining and you will
have to wait until 9:22 p. IN. and take
No. 13.
The simplest way to use a time table
is to add the figures in any one col
umn, divide the sum by the amount
of your fare and stay at home.

that Bacon also wrote the time tables

a frozen soap bubble broken In two
and floating like an lridescent. trans
parent eggshell on the surface Of
vessel of liquid air was one Of the
marvels exhibited by Professor Dewar
In a lecture before the Royal Institute
Of Great Britain.
The lecture was upon the subject of

intense cold, the liquid air and soap
bubble being adjuncts introduced to IA
cilitate some explanations.
A few spoonfuIs of liquid air were
poured into a vessel, and the intense
cold caused By evaporation Immediate
ly brought on a miniature snowstorm
in the atmosphere directly above the
vessel, A soap bubble was then placed
in tho freezing stratum. Almost in
stantly there was a change in the color
of the transparent globe, the bubble
becoming much darker; the move
ments Of the rainbows film grew slow
err; it contracted somewhat in size, and
little later it froze
A slight but dexterous movement of
the rod upon which the bubble was
suspended broke the latter into two
pieces. which fell upon the liquid air
and there floated for an hour, gradual

the almost imperceptible precipitation

atmosphere above.

The twin cities of mournful destiny
were both engufed at the same time
August. 10 A. d. The reason why
Herculaneum has not been excavated
to the same extent as Pompeii is owing
to the fact that it was covered with
much harder material than was Pom
peii: the dust predominating in Pom
peii. while the lava prevailed over Her
culaneum. There is not. much doubt
about the eventual opening up of both
cities. Human curiosity, together with

ADAMS SCHOOL
 FOUND AF|RE
Oily Rags Ignite Spontan-
 cously and Give Depart ment Work Nature of Construction PrccIuded a Possibility of Serious Fire

Fire of undoubted spontaneous origin threatened serious damage to the Ad ans school about Q o'clock and but for it's early discovery might have worked it's way into such inaccessible parts of the structure as to have given the fire department a tedious fight. That the structure was threatened with destruc- tion does not appear. the very nature of its construction precluding any such possibility. But the wainscoting of the manual training department in which the fire originated and the hard wood floor of that part of the build ing would have furnished food for d slow fire which might not have burned out until the interior of that room had been badly damaged.
 Residents of West Monroe street ob- served a Pickering light in the rear room of the building investigation disclosed smoke issuing from an open transom. An alarm was telephoned to the fire department and q quick run was made to the building at Adams
 
 work of but few minutes to eXtin- gush the blaze, but it was nearly an hour before the smoke had been driven from the building with the aid of the big ventilating fans. Then it was dis covered that there were still some smodering sparks in the woodwork
 A large sack of wastepaper and oily rags was found upon the floor at the exact spot where the fire started. It developed upon investigation that the pupils earlier in the day had been en- gagged in polishing some of the furn- ture of their own construction These rags had been left for the janitor to collect and destry The ianitor had placed the rags with the waste paper in a sack and had left it standing against the wall. intending to complete e his work of cleaning the building early this morning. The rags ignited spon- taneously and the blaze was cOmmuni- cated to the paper and then to the woodwork The entire damage should not exceed $50 and may. perhaps be less.
 [ Early yesterday morning the fire de- : partment had a run to the southeast i part of town when a long wooden shack. occupied by several Mexican families was discovered in flames. The fire caused lurid glare in the darkness and gave rise to the belief 1 that serious fire was in progress A 1 few minutes work served to extin- gush the blaze It is thought a drunken, cigaret smoking Mexican was i responsible for this fire.
 Sparks communicated to the roof of ! the residence of Mrs. J A. Poteet of l S10 West Jefferson street at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The department responded to an alarm and, after chop ping a hole through the roof, extin- 1 guished the blaze in short order.
