"Thc mills of the gods grind slew
but they grind exceedingly fiue,' Is
an old saying. This, however, does
not have full application to the CIR.

expeditiously justice is being meted

the offenses with which they have
been charged.

charged.
Marie Shannon has decided that
J. \. shannon should support her
ana asked the court to require him
to do so. Issuance was made for
shannon.
Roy Williams charged with dis
turbing the peace concluded the best
way out of his troubles was to
make an open confession, So he
pleaded guilty and was assessed a
fine Of 500.
The case against Marion Smart
was dismissed, but in that Of G, G..
Wampler against St J.. 5. d Ref.
Co notice of appeal was filed.
r. w. Williams charged with As.
sault to kill felt that he was not
/ guilty as charged but yet was will
ing to throw himself on the mercy
OF the court and when the jury re.
turned their verdict he was assessed
fine OF Sl00'
Proof of publication of notice was
filed In the case Of j. G. Williams
ct al against Horace n. Burrill ct
nj to quiet title.

cation for change of venue was

Lead Co. was by consent and judy
ment rendered for 81, ,2j0.00 In favor

cluded to acknowledge they were
guilty of disturbing the peace and
drew a fine of 500 each.

Himself Under Surveillance
of Enemies

A very distressing and sad end
came to the life OF John n. Mitch
ell Tuesday morning at the home
OF his sister Mrs. \. J. Hunt in
the northwest part OF the city OF
Pennington. For some consider
able time deceased has had a
hollucinatlOn that some enemy was
constantly pursuing him He
would get up III the night and
leave the place where he might
happen to be staying with the
thought OF trying 10 evadc his i'm.
agined pursucrs. Last Saturday
he went to bed at about the usual
time but about ten O'Clock arose
and announced that he was going
and the occupants thought nothing
strange of it as he was accustomed
to such peculiar action. Shortly
after he left the house he took
about halt an ounce of I.audnum,
and this not accomplishing the end,
somewhere about six O'Clock
Sunday morning with a small pen
knife he undertook to sever the
jugular vein, but only succeeding
in making a flesh wound and
severing small blood vessel. As
a result ofthc opiate and the wound
on Tuesday morning the cud came.
Deceased was ~ wears, II
months and - days OF age. He
leaves to mourn his untimclv
demise ten children, a brother, and
five sisters of his immediate
family. He was a son of the late
John W. Mitchell He was
member OF the NJ. w. A and NJ l.

$Iob, 600. Its assets were listed at
Sr7s,ooo, but are actually worth only
$1,000, the mailing list of 100000
names being scheduled as one oi the
biggest assets, but little was realized
OH It.
The actual assets on which money
can be realized cousis, Of the stock Of
merchandise and fixtures which are
worth only IS, 600 though outstanding
accounts have uetted $1,000.
The TACT OF greatest interest 70 the
grocery trade is that the COMPANY with
its big mailing list and small stock,
made great splurgc telling custom
ers in its cataloges OF its great stock
and the immensty OF its business,
when as a matter OF fact, It bought as
it needed from iobbers OF ST, Louis and
carried only small stock.

note against Harry W,~!oncr, the presi'
dent ofthe company, fotttil 80, WHICH
it says is amply secured aud will be
collected, though Wagner himself is
supposed to be in Europe.
In his petition Wagner scheduled
his liabilities at Sro6,ooo and his as
sets at St75, 900. His main item OF as
sets was the mailing list and mailing
equipment All the creditors got out
oi this asset was 81 200. The hearing
was continued until November S, be-
cause of Wagoncrs absence.
II will be remembered that number
OF ST. Louis wholesale grocery houses
were hard hit by the failure OF The
Wagner concern, the Niese Grocer
company having the largest bill against
it, amounting to Sl,244 os. The c. f.

the court adjourned until 2 pm.
OLaughlin said that Roosevelt ap-
pointed him assistant secretary OF the
treasury and sent him on a special
mission to Japan. He said that he
went to Japan in the same year that
Roosevelt ordered the Atlantic fleet
to the Pacific ocean. When asked II
the fleet expedition was because OF
the relations between America and
Japan, he replied: well, yes. 1t
was perfectly evident that Japan
would not go to war with this coun-
try if it was apparent that this coun-
try was the more powerful. 1t was
one of the measures taken by Roose-
welt to prevent war. 1t was a
measure OF peace.
o'Laughlin testified that, as Roose-
yelt's secretary after the African
hunt, he wrote to Ambassador Leish-
man at Rome to arrange for the re-
ception of Roosevelt by the king and
