LOUISVILLEsTO HAVE BIG EXPOSITION, Louisville, Feb. 14 —A national exhibition is proposed for Louis ville, Ky., in 1915. It will be known as the Lincoln-Davis ex position to mark the 50tii anni versary of the end of the civil war. Directors of the Louisville Con vention in an announcement to day call attention to the fact that both Abraham Lincoln and Jef ferson Davis, heads of the two governments opposed each other from 1861 to 1564, were natives of KentucKy and the claim that Louisville is the proper place for such a exhibition. It is probable that co-operation of the federal government will be asked. “Now that it has been definitely determined to hold the Panama exposition in San Francisco,” says the announcement, “all the vast expense of country east of the Rocky mountains is left ‘ex pasitionless. J ” It then argues that the 50th anniversary of the close of the four years of strife between the states should be fittingly observed, that no more suitable method than a world’s fair can be found and that Ken tucky, as the birth-place of both President Abraham Lincoln, of the United States, and President Jefferson Davis, of the Confed erate states, is the proper place to hold such a celebration. One of the features proposed is a grand reunion in which survivors of both the Federal and Coiife'nerate armies shall participate. That federal aid will be sought by the Louisville promoters is in dicated by a comparison which they make between the amounts of money turned into the national treasury by Kentucky and Cali fornia- NEGRO SUSPECTED OF MURDER. Swainsboro, Ga., Feb. 17. — Sheriff Fields has gone to Still more in an effort to apprehend Dan Mosley, who, it is believed, very heinously murdered his wife, Minnie Mosley, last Saturday night a week ago. Mosley and his wife had been visiting at Still more and left there together to return to their home in Bulloch county. Nothing more was heard of them until yesterday Minnie’s body was found in a decomposed state in a thicket at the head of a branch about two mile from Stillmore, in an un frequented spot, by some rabbit hunters. Her head had been beat en until tnere was nothing left of it hut her lower jaws, and she had been stabbed a number of times in the breast. Nearby was a spot which looked as if their had been a struggle, there being found a knife which had belonged to Dan, and some hair combs out of the woman’s hair. It was known that Dan and his wife were having some trouble over her going to a convention which he had forbidden her to at tend, and it is probable that they renewed their quarrel on the way home, with the result above men tioned.

ATHENS FIRE, Athens, Ga., Feb. 16. —The en tire plant of the Empire State Chemical Company was destroyed by firejliere tonight with a loss estimated at $500,000, partly covered by insurance.

I have tried many other rem edies, but have never found any better.” JOSEPH FRANKOWTCK, 854 Trombly Av., Detroit, Mich.
