JULY, .... - 7. 1897.
SUSPECTED OF ARSON.
Tliat' is Riven as the Reason why
R. W. Harris Suicided.
The attempted suicide of It. A.
H;u lis, postmaster at Union,
proved to lie successful,he having
died at his home there at 1 o'clock
Tuesday morning, savs the Union
correspondent ol the Columbia
State, under that date.
This is the culmination of a
most sensational all'air that has
stirred up the citizens of the town
for the past week or two. On the
night of the 17th, of June, the
Union hotel was discovered to be
on (ire near a scuttle hole in the
hall of 1 lie third storv. The tlames
were well underway when dis
covered hv two voting men sleeping:
near where the fire originated.
Fortunately the fire was diseoveied
in time to extinguish it.
and when extinguished the odor:
of kerodne oil was very suseepti
hie. and upon examination it wic !
discovered that the wood and
laths near the lire had heen satu
rated with kerosene and a can
which had contained kerosene oil
was found near by.
Wnen the above tacts became1
generally known, suspicion rested
on Mr. Harris as being connected
with and responsible lor the at
tempted burning of the hotel, lie
was a half owner of the hotel, it j
navuiii rosr *.>,;>wu aim was m- i
surer! tor $ 1'UHiO. ^
Ignite a number of damajjinir
reports have been ^oim; the
rounds, such as follows: That
Mr. Harris was seen to leave the
vicinity of the hotel in a suspicious
manner a short time before
the lire: also that lie was seen bv
another party near the hotel a
short time before the tire; also
that lie endeavored to restrain ]
people irom entering tin* burning'
building during the lire for fear
some evidenee might lie secured
against liiin.
The news ol Mr. Harris' dealli
was 'juile a shock lo the people
here.
There is a standing reward, ol
fered by the city council and the
citizens, ol $'j.uuo for the capture
and conviction of the or persons
who did the burning, and it is ru
mored here today that a party
here in town would have had Mr.
Harris arrested to day and claim
the reward.
The death of Mr. Harris pre
eludes, it i- supposed, any deli
jiik: hum oi ever soivm^ t nc no
tel mystery, unless the rumor
that tIkto are others connected
with the all'air proves to have
foundat ion.
The prevailing opinion is that
it is a plain case of "murder will
out*' and that "suicide i* conlession.''

Utiles For bicycle biding. |
An Knglish surgeon oilers the
following excellent rules for bicycle
riding :
I. Never ride within hall an
hour of a meal,which moans either j
before or after.
*2. Wheel the machine up any I
hih the mounting ol which on the!
wheel eau?es any real ellori.
See that the clothing round
the stomach, neck and chest is
loose.
1. Have the handle har sulli
ciently raised to prevent stooping.
A. lie it- sparing as possible of
taking fluids during a long ride. I
Ilinsinglhe mouth thoroughly as
well as gargling with cold water, j
will quench tin* thirst as well, if
: not better than taking lluids in
; the stomach in large quantities.
t?. i moss ino wind. roads, etc.,
ho favorable novor ride inoro than
Ion miles an hour.except for very1
short di-tanoos.
7. Never smoke while riding.
Attention to these points will
j tend to relieve the pressure on
the rijiht side of the heart,hreath
lessness will largely he prevented,!
and even persons with certain
j tonus ot heart disease may ride
with safety.

Van Wjfk Item*.
The grass has been holding tis
so closely that we have not had
time to write any for several
weeks, but neighbor Smith thinks
we have it under control now,
provided we keep our picket posts
well guarded and do not get in
too big a hurry to quit work, but
says the time is about here. The
days are mighty long and he Tears
come of us might quit before the
crops would bear it
The crop prospects in this community,
though about two weeks
late, promise a fair yield.
We had a magnificent rain on
the evening of the 4th and was
glad to see it, for we was beginning
to need it.
The small grain crop was saved
in fine condition and was pretty
good, particularly oats.
The Hock Ilill District Conference
convenes at Hlacksbnrg on
the Sth ilist. Messrs. ,J. M. Voiler
