Many pecple are of the opinion that
the American deet now on Us way to
Pacific waters will never come back
into the Atlantic again.
William Thompson, first Lord Kel

r 36, 1824. He was a celebrated mathe
matician and physicist, and occupied
the chair of natural philosophy In
Glasgow university in 1866 and wa3
created Baron Kelvin in 1892.
In the domains of heat and elec
tricity and magnetism he was one of
the great investigators of the century.
He invented a number of instruments
used in navigation and deep sea ex
ploration, and took-a prominent part
in the laying of the first submarine
cables in the Atlantic.

think the ships will go to the bot

the result of an alleged insult on
the train from Dover to this place
today to Mrs. E. C.;Oliver, wife of a
prominent merchant here, J. M. Coch
ran, representing the Barnesvlllc
Buggy Company, was beaten with a
horsewhip in the Jaeckel hotel today,
by E. C. Oliver.
Mrs. Oliver told her husband of the
alleged occurrence at the dinner table,
after which he went to a hardware
store and purchased a whip and going
to the hotel, he found Cochran, and
proceeded to whip him.
Cochran resisted, catching the whip
when Oliver loosed It, and began to
pound him with his fist.
It is charged that Cocharn tried to
force a conversation on the train,
and, being refused, laid his hand upon
the shoulder of Mrs. Oliver. He is
now at the hotel, where it is said he
is suffering from bruises.

Washington giving out interviews and
