WAS KILLED Mystery Surrotinds Absence of Frank Bourne From Whom Nothing Has Been Heard For Three Months. HAD CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY Had Gone to Jackson, Miss., Intending to Purchase a Sawmill Jackson Police Are Investigating. (Palladium Special EATON, Ohio, May 30. Considerable myBtery surrounds the strange absence of Frank Bourne, who lor many years was a well-known farmer living near Camden. Mr. Bourne's age is about 46 years, and he is unmarried. Lately he inherited considerable money and property from the estates of his father, Ezra Bourne, and an old aunt. About Bix months ago he went to Jacksonville, Miss., intending to purchase a saw mill. He is known to have taken considerable money with him, represented in cash, draft and bonds. He wrote home for a time after he left, but for the past three months nothing has been heard of him, and letters addressed to him at Jackson, Mis., have been returned, unclaimed. A peculiar feature of the case arose a couplo cf days ago, when John Bourne, of Sommerville, four miles Bouth of Camden, and T. E. Davis, of Camden, each received a letter postmarked Hamilton, Ohio, bearing the date of May 23, and both of the same tenor. The letters were unsigned and state that Bourne was killed three months agp. "We killed, robbed and buried him when he was boarding with us, and we are now on our way to Italy," the letters say. Police Investigating. Friends and relatives of the missing man do not know what to think of the communications, nor can they explain why they should have been mailed In Hamilton. Inquiries have been made of the police department at Jackson, Mississippi, and a concerted effort Is being made to ascertain the facts in the case. F Autoists Thrown From Car Last Night. In the attempt to turn south from West Main street at Seventn St., late last night an automobile running at a speed, of thirty-five miles an hour, a party of three men and a colored driver narrowly escaped serious injury when the automobile skidded and the rear axle was broken. The men stated to a local garage owner that they were from Jamestown, Ohio, but refused to give their names. Although there were no witnesses to the accident, one of the men stated that the driver was to blame and as serted that he was running the ma chine at more than thirty miles an hour. The driver claims that he was mislnstructed as to the road he was to take and did not notice that he should have turned until it was too late. The party went to Indianapolis on the railroad. A Word to "The Storekeeper.' The manufacturer who tries to help you sell his gooas after he has induced you to stock up on his line, deserves your hearty co-operation. But it is up to you to decide whether the manufacturer is actually helping you, or whether he only thinks he is. If he is creating a desire for his product without creating an actual demand on your store for it, his help is of little value to you. The one big advantage of newspaper advertising is that it creates not only desire, but actual demand. Most other mediums stop at desire. The best kind of advertising that a manufacturer can do for your benefit is local newspaper advertising. Tell his salesmen so next time they come around. Show them that you know by experience the value of newspaper advertising, and that you want all the branded goods you handle advertised in a way that will bring customers to your store to ask for them.

Lon made a swell girl and many a sly wink was shied in his direction and Lon was having the time of his life, although he was not permitted to say a word, for the manager had told him if he spoke it "would be all off" for the lad's voice is changing and is several tones shy of being so-, prano.

RICHMOND REVERENTLY PATS HONOR TO ITS SOLDIER DEAD

MEMORIAL DAY L. A. Handle. i When the clouds were thick and trouble grew. And the foe waxed strong and bold. When the flag we love in danger flew And a wave of treason rolled. When the leader called for patriots true And for succor breathed a prayer. When within the nation's heart there grew A feeling of grim despair. Bravely they, came at the country's call, And bravely they faced the fire. Seeking only to win or fall For the flag, whose need waa dire; Cold and hungry they faced the front Prison and death in sight True to the flag, they bore the brunt Of many a desperate fight. Wife and home and children dear. Sweetheart, mother and life. All were as nothing beside the fear That the flag might droop in the strife; Years and years have rolled away Their ranks are thinning fast But loyal and true as they marched that day So will they be till the last. Memorial Day comes 'round each year A day that is set apart To show respect to the comrades dear Who've fallen before death's dart. So leave all labor and pleasing sport. Take one day just to think Of offered lives in field and fort That the naUon might not sink. CELEBRATION WILL BE HELD TONIGHT A Large Crowd Is Expected to Attend Staats Verband Affair.
