PIANO TUNER LEAVES A SMALL
FORTUNE TO WIFE

Wheeler, New Paris, Ohio, an timer
ant piano tuner and an eccentric,
shabbily-garbed character known in
this and various Indiana cities for
thirty years, was found to have $12,-
900 cash in his pockets when he died
in the Good Samaritan Hospital here.
Dying, he wrote letter to his wife
telling her he was leaving her $780,
900, the existence of which she had
never known.
Wheeler had an aversion to trolley,
steam cars and even horse-drawn We
hicles, and made his rounds on a
bicycle. He maintained a room in
each principle city he visited, though
he seldom used them.

WoRTHINoToN JAILED

John Worthington, head of the de-

was found yesterday and today is re-
posing in jail.
Shortly after Worthington's cap
ture a surprise was handed when the
United States postal authorities
caused the arrest of Harry H.
Thomas, bond and stock broker, on
a charge OF. fraudulent use of the
mails. In connection with this charge,
it is claimed that the Central Savings
Bank of Waterloo, Ia, was swindled
out of $1,000. Worthington is said
to be involved in this case.
An investigation will be made to
find whether Thomas was a partner
of Worthington in the deal or
whether he was duped into becoming
party to it.

went back and secured three others
by the same method. His bodyguard
was very large and handsome. Some
brunettes, a few stately blends, and
others.
The vaudeville was held on the cor
ner for fifteen minutes before the sec
ond patrol came, and sometimes Mike
the Handsome Tango dancer went
out in the street and scolded real hard
at the people who were listening to
Mrs. Timeus tell them of the strike
on at Henrici's where girls are work
ed seven days a week for 81 a week.
One brunette plain clothes man
with quite expressive eyes had a half
Nelson grip on one of the girls wrists,
which she resented, and for a few
breathless seconds we. feared he
would be the next defendant in $15,-
900 suit, but some graceful tango
steps executed by Mike the Hand
some sort of turned the brunette's
thought into gentleness and he ended
by carrying on quite a flirtatious con-
Versation with the girl picket and sur,
rounding listeners.
Mike, the Handsome Tango dancer,
accompanied this batch of girls to the
station at $50 N. LaSalle, and he was
so gallant that we feel constrained
to mention it. He even brought chairs
for the ladies, and behaved with true
parlor decorum, which is strange in
view of the statement of Minnie Mey-
er that he had insulted defenseless
girls few nights ago.

Abbeville Citizens Will Do Veil

MANY fatal cases Of kidney disease
have reached an incurable stage be-
cause the patient did not understand
the symptoms. Even today in Able
Vile there are many residents making
the same error. They attribute their
mysterious sches and pains to over
work, or worry, perhaps, when all the

probably due TO weak and ailing kid

STEAMER r
IN MID OCEAN
No Signs of Life Aboard When
Vessel Is Discovered Pre-
sumed Passengers Escaped

Halifax, N. S., May Am uniden-
titled steamer, or fire from stem to
stern with no signs Of life on board
was discovered 800 miles south of
Cape Race today by the steamer Sey-
dyltz, from Bremen, for New York.
The Sedlytz Immediately called by
wireless for assistance and response
came from the Franconia, fifty miles
to the eastward, bound for Boston, and
headed for New York. The Sedlytz
the Olympic 200 miles to the west,
circled around the burning vessel, but
the smoke hung so heavy about her
that her name could not be- distin-
guished.
AS no small boats were discovered
in the vicinity and as the Oylmipa a
passed not far from the scene twelve
or fifteen hours before, it is thought
that the unnamed vessel caught fire
some time after midnight and that all
hands were rescued by some ship
which had no wireless.

PASS NO DRASTIC MEASURE

AS the Press and Banner views
conditions, it would seem both un-
wise and unjust to the Democratic
voters of South Carolina for the COM
ing State Convention to pass any
drastic or cumbersome plan for puri-
flying the primary. In the first place,
drastic measures are not necessary,
for the same ends can be obtained in
the simplest way possible.
i. The following plan, suggested by
Mr.. w. P. Greene of this place, it
seems would meet the requirement,
and should command the support OF
any member of the approaching
State Convention.
MI. Greene suggests that all club
enrollments be closed thirty days be-
fore the primary; that the lists as
then made up by secretaries of the
various clubs, be filed in the Office OF
the Clerk of Court ; that a commit
tee of three men be appointed by the
County Chairman to go over the rolls
taking off duplicates, and that
certified copies of the rolls be fur
nished by the Clerk of Court, to the
managers appointed, the day before
the election. The expense of purg.
ing the rolls and furnishing the certi,
fed copies of the rolls to the man
ayers should be paid for at reasonable
rates, either out of fees collected from
candidates or out of the County Tres
ury.
The importance of filing the rolls
at least 80 days before the primary
is evident first for the reason that it
will take the revising committee
some weeks to purge and prepare
new lists, and second, because ample
time is then given to the members
of any club to see thai the enrolled
are qualified electors.
This plan is simple, it bars no mali
who wants to vote, ano it will for
ever set at rest all of the talk about
corrupt primaries.
