M&ARS I asheville to be a horse market Plans Fop a Large Sale Stable in the Neap r uture. Horses Are Getting Scarce .in tUe Kentuaky Market. Asheville Uses a Large Number of Superior Horses. Personals. W. A. Holmes of Pittsburg- arrived yesterday and is at the Battery Park. D. Smithey of Pittsburg is here. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bailey of Chica go are here on a vist. Mr. Bailey is interested in the hotel business at his home. F. iS. Vernon of Savannah is in the city. j Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Drew of Cin cinnati left yesterday for their home. i They have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Brown. It is quite probable that Asheville will become an important horse mar ket within the next year. The city is cow widely known as a town with many horses, both fine and well bred. A gentleman from a distance is in the city with the idea of opening a sales stable some time next spring. It is his purpose to establish a per manent, substantial horse business that will depend principally on out side markets for support. He sa73 that Kentucky was still the producer of fine stock, but that northern buy ers had practically drained the mar ks!.. Said he. "The first place most of the buyers ofNnne horses go to is Lexington, Ky. From there they travel the entire blue grss section in search of stock. It is almost impos sible to get a car of horses within a radius of a hundred miles. I think that, Asheville is a good place for a horse market, as the city itself use-3 more stock than any town of its size in the south, and many animals can be found in Tennessee and North Car olina to supply the demand for good, sound horses." Asheville horsemen have experienced much difficulty of late in supplying their demand for horses. Wiley Brown returned from Kentucky within the last two weeks with a car only half filled with stock. He wanted more, but couldn't find them in Kentucky It costs just the same to ship 18 as i does eight. Dick Weaver went to Lexington, Ky., last week with a New York gentleman 'for the purpose of buying several horses. Mr. Wea ver said every effort possible was made to find desirable horses. The only team offered him that was satis factory had a $600 value on them. He says they were nothing extra, either. These statements tend to prove the idea that it is profitable to see' other markets than those of Kentucky! for horses. E. B. Mowe of Washington, propri etor of the Savoy Ijotel, at Washing ton, and the Narragansett hotel, at. Narrangansett Pier, is staying at the Battery Park. NEW SYSTEM E AT HE!

The Asheville Independent Telephone company is about to launch another big enterprise. The company proposes to build an entire new telephone Bys tem in Hendersoiwille. All the neces sary material and appliances have been ordered and the company will begin the work right away and have the new equipment finished within the next month. The present plant, a common return system, will be re placed by a metallic system, such as the one used in Asheville. Manager Proctor said yesterday that everything connected with the plant would toe new. The old poles and wires will be torn down and a new switchboard installed. This means much for Hendersonville ana will pe an advantage to Ashe ville, as communication with persona in Hendersonville will be much more satisfactory in the future, because conversation can be more easily un derstood. It has been said that the Bell Tele phone company intended installing a new plant in that town, if they could secure enough subscribers in advance to justify the expense. S. T. Dorsett First Witness In troduced by Government. Special to the Gazette. Charlotte, Nov. 20. The trial of Maj. William E. Breese, charged with being implicated in the wrecking of th'e First National Bank of Asheville, was begun in the Federal court here this morning. Judge Henry C. McDowell is the presiding judge. The selection- of the jury only consumed a 6hortj time of the morning session of the court. The 12 menwho are to Dass upon the guilt or innocence of the three defendants Breese, Dickerson and Penland are all farmers and hail from the counties of Mecklenburg, Polk, Rutherford, Cabarrus and Cleve land. It is an intelligent jury and 'a business-like one. After the selection of a jury and the hearing of several minor motions, the court took a recess from 12 to 2 o'clock. At the opening of the afternoon ses sion District Attorney Holton asked for a continuance in so far as Breese was concerned, because of the absence of C. B. Leonard, an important gov ernment witnefs, who, it is claimed, Is in ChattamJoga. The motion was de nied and Judge McDowell ordered the trial of the cause to proceed. S. T. Dorsett of Asheville, formerly teller of the bank, was the first wit ness introduced for the government. His testimony was- Of a technical na ture, showing the condition of the bank at a certain period; also as to the condition of Breese'e account with the bank. The prosecution expect to show by" DQrsett's testimony that Breese was drawing money out Of the. bank when he had none to his' credit. Prom inent witnesses for the government are expected to arrive tonight from New York and Richmond. Judge McDowell ordered that the court would hold a two-hours' session nightly.

"Coffee soaked me hard for 'about three years and I was troubled with indigestion, headaches and drowsiness; I had no appetite and could not sleep and I was steadily 'losing flesh all the time. I had spent a small fortune on medi cine and doctor's bills; I consulted several doctors, one told me that I ,had liver trouble, another told me that I had kidney trouble, others prescribed remedies for numerous complaints, but none helped me and I finally look ed upon my bad stomach as a part of my miserable existence, giving up all hope of ever being myself again. I knew that the cause of it was all due to office work, which precluded sufficient bodily exercise and the eat ing of non-nourishing" and non-diges- NOVEL IDEA IN CHESS. Living Game Planned on Gigrantic Scale For Delhi Durbar. Living games of chess are not new, but that form of the entertainment which has been half seriously, half jok ingly, suggested as one for the Delhi durbar is a decided novelty, says a cable dispatch from London to the New York American and Journal. The idea in said to have been suggested by a noted Indian chess player named Khur sedjee Sorabjee Jussawalla, but the scheme is so ambitious that Lord Cur zon hesitates about giving it his official sanction. It is suggested that each square of the "chessboard" should be cf a super ficies of twenty feet, that the players Bhould be clad in glittering silver and gold dresses, that a band should play during the performance and 101 guns be kept in readiness to be fired singly at every "check" and all together at "checkmate."
