Va., Jan. 24.?Mr. Jack (Hoven, who whs shot by Walter Wood Sunday morning, was still alive this evening, but his case is regarded a.s utmost hopeless. The bull was probed for but was not extracted. Mr. (Hoven was one of the proprietors of the Rijou Variety Theatre, was shot and possibly fatally wounded Sunday morning in a fracas with Walter Wood, bartender In a saloon next door to the theatre. Wood, it is alleged, tired three shots at Qloven, the first wont wild. Ihe second struck Qloven in tin- arm and the third in the back or tho head. The last shot penetrated Gloven's skull and cashed through the brain, lodging neui the right eye. Tie- wounded mail wdl probably not live through the night. After tin- Shooting Wood walked to the lall and surrendered himself to the au? thorities. Wood and iHoven quarreled las: night in the UIJou Theatre, and this morning when Wood passed (Hov? en, who was sitting In front of his theatre .the altercation was renewed.

Lumpkln granted a tempo? rary rest raining order and set the hear Itig for Thursday. Mr. Johnston has been the general at? torney and a director in the association. His suit was tiled as the holder of 2S shares of stock. It Is charged by Mr. Johnston that tho association has been badly man? aged and that it is now hopelessly in? solvent, thai there has been paid out within the past two years $100.000 In withdrawals, and that shares to the a in.Mint of $120.000 are now in for with? drawal. it is charged that If the last amount is paid out there will be practically nothing left for the remaining stock? holders. The officers of the company are C. Atkins, president; \V. W. Draper, vice president; C. S. Kingsberry, treasurer; J. w. Goldsmith, secretary. These gentlemen, together with Mr. Johnston, constitute the board of nM rectors. Mr. Johnston has sent in his resignation as the general attorney of the association.

Will Go Where He May Think and Dream. At Nashville. Tonn., when Governor Heilert L. Taylor retired from ollicial life nnd Bcnton McMlllin took the oath of office as Governor, the former spoke as follows; "Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen: I am about to shuttle oTf this mortal coil of polities and fly away to the heaven of my native mountains, whore I may think and dream in peace, safe from the sickening sting of unjust criticism; safe from the talons of some old political vulture; safe from the slimy kiss nnd the keen dagger of ingratitude. "I do not mean to say that all politi? cians nre vultures or that they are all hypocrites or assassins, for the greal majority of our public men are up? right and honest, nnd worthy of the confidence reposed in thorn by the peo? ple; yet, there are black wings In the ;>iili!ii al firmament, nnd reptiles crawl and hiss in every cnpitol. Hut, thank God, the live thunders of eternal truth always clear the atmosphere, and the heel of justice will surely bruise the sen.em's head "I do not retire from this office with the rankling of disappointment nnd chagrin In my bosom, but rather as one who retires from labor to rest; from war to peace; from trouble to happi? ness. "I do not retire, the snnambullst of a shattered dream, but with all the buds of hope bursting into bloom and nil the bowers of the future ringing w'th melodv. I am contented with my lot In life. Three times 1 have won the laurel wreath of honor. ! w ined bv the people of my native State, nnd that is glory enough for me. "While T believed that the good In polities outweigh tho had, yet how i hornv 1s the path and how unhappy tho pilgrimage to him who dares to do bi< dlltv! There rue no nmv,.-. except t few bouquets snatched from the .?roves of fallen fees: there Is no hap? piness except the transient thrill of ruel triumph, which passes like a shadow across the heart. "Every honest man who runs for office Is a candidate for trouble, for the fruits of political victory turn to ashes on Ihe Hps. "To me there is nothing In this world so pathetic as a candidate. He Is like a mariner without compass, drifting on the tempest-tossed waves of uncertain? ty, between the smiling cliffs of hope and the frowning crags of fear. He is a walking petition and a living prayer: he is the pack horse of pub ntlment; he |s the dromedary or politics And even if he reach?* the goal of his ambition, he will soon feel the beak of the vulture In his heart and the fang of the serpent In his soul I take with me n heart full o/ grati? tude and a soul full of precious memo? es gratitude to the people for their unwavering confidence In me; precious memories- of my friends who hr.ve been k'nd nnd true. ? The record that I have made Is an iprn book to all;I am Willing to die by It. For whatever mistakes 1 may have eommltted, I have kept steadily In view Ihe honor of the State and the happi? ness of the peonle. "It onlv remains for me to bid you all it- affectionate and final farewell, and ro express the prayer that Christ who lied for love and mercy's sake will rru de our Chief Executive and all who shall follow him ln the paths of peace ? d love, and baptize them with the -p.r'.t of mercy, Farewell, farewell."

Perhaps you have ju?t received from some place In Europe particulars of the large estate your uncle has left .1. The interesting document may say that the tine property has an area if I S"2 square kilometres. You have r.ot r^n idea whether that means a piece ' land as small as a quarter section or if big as a county. If the stupid for had only given the area in ire miles the matter would be clear. !ut be easy. There are few things nore simple than to evolve square .: >s from square kilometres. A square kilometre Is :tf?-100 of a square Just multiply that number of jquare kilometres by the decimal .39 and you will have the area of tho ea t?te In square miles. Thea v?ii will know the extent ot your uncle's mu? ni licence. < >r you may be a crank on the sub? ject of long-distance bicycle races, ami you read about the French champion has pedalled '.'.tss kilometres In a giv? en time. You'd IHte to compare h:. performancc with the American record and you can do it then und there if you know how easy a matter it is. A kil ometre is R2-10Q of a statute mile. Sim? ply multiply the weary wheelman's to? tal kilometres by .?>j and you have his achievement reduced to mdes. In a month or two yr?u may hear thai the great 17.000-ton steamship Bucolic has made an av< rage of twenty knots ai. hour on her first trip across the At? lantic. You don't know much about nautical te:ms. and would have a bet? ter idea of the vessel's speed if the dis? tance per hour had been given in stat? ute miles. Hut you can turn it Into miles without exeessiv-? cerebration. A knot, a nautical mile and a. geographi? cal mile are one ami the same thing. ? -?? z.>?>...??. ,>,n , p?nal? us ntatulc miles. Multiply the number of knots ...'. unit you Have tne distance to statute miles. Some of these results are not exa t to the Inch, because the decimals ma\ be extended. Hut they are exact enough tor purposes that do not re? quire the most minute computation, and they Illustrate the fact that it re? quires very little llcurlng to turn other people's expressions for area and dis? tance into denominations we may bet? ter understand. 0 A Disgusted Woman. It isn't any wonder that some women get disgusted with mtfdieine and lose faith in the doctors. When a woman complains of feeling weak, nervous and despondent, and suffers from headaches, pains in the back and stitches in the sides and burning', dialing down sensations, the average physician will attribute thuse feelings to heart, stomach or liver trouble. For years, possibly, she takes their pie seripliona for these ailments without re? ceiving any benefit, then, in finnl disgust, she throws away dings, and hopelessly lets matters take their course. A woman who suffers in this way is almost invariably a sufferer fiorn weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. Theie is an uufailiug and inexpensive cure for all troubles of this description. It is In Pierce's 1'avorite Prescription. It acts di? rectly on the delicate organs concerned, making them well and strong. It heals all internal ulreratiou and stops debilitating drains. It takes the ptcssure off the nerves and makes them strong and steady. Under its marvelous merits thuiisauds of women have been made healthy, happy and robust. The "Favotito. Prescription" restores weak, nervous, pain-racked women and makes strong, healthy, capable wives and moth? ers. With its use all pain and suffering disappear. All good medicine stores sell it ana have nothing else "just ns good." Constipation and torpid liver will make the most ambitious man or woman uttcily food for nothing.
