2 Page One tion and detective without peer. Born in Edinburgh Sir Arthur was born in burgh on May 22, 1859. He studied for medicine, and his learning in this science cropped up continually in the fantastic adventures his fiction detective. He practiced as a physician for many years before giving himself over to fiction writing, but together with his unfillplace in English letters he combined such varied enterprises as exploration, travel and politics. His travels included trips into the Arctic regions and to the west coast of Africa at a time when the latter was truly the "Dark Continent," virtually untouched save by the most hardy adventurers.

Sir Arthur's first important literary work world-famous "Study In Scarlet," in which he introduced to an admiring world for the first time the colorful figures of Sherlock Holmes the ubiqultous Dr. Watson. This volume was published in 1887. Others followed in quick succession, Doyle alternating his masterpieces of crime fiction with hair-raising story of adventure. The year 1888 saw publication of "The Captain of Polestar" was Clarke," athe same year "Micah issued, In 1889 he his Camous collection of detective stories under the title of "The Sign of the Four," and in 1891 came further doings of Sherlock Holmes in the volume "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." Book On Boer War Plays, novels, novelettes, essays, treatises and articles flowed frurc his pen, Sir Arthur from tire to time deserting the fictional detective hero he had created for profound works on war and politics.

One of the greatest of the latter was a book dealing with the Boer war, in which the writer attempted to set forth causes of this conflict within the tor British Empire. This volume ran 100,000 copies. and was printed in 12 different langunges. It was 10 years ago that Conan Doyle deserted Sherlock Holmes and gave over his entire time to the study of spiritualism. With Sir Oliver Lodge, noted British scientiet, Doyle of the world's most determinene protagonists of this study, and while commentators on both sides of the Atlantic found bitter fault with his claims and experiments, all admitted that if there was one man who actually believed in transmigration and was sincere in all the claims he made regarding spirit messages--that man was Conan Doyle.

Spirit Photographs Sir Arthur's experiments with ectoplasm and spirit photographs attracted worldwide' attention, and one of his most valued possessions WAS a hand which he claimed was part of a disembodied To supporters and scoffers alike he showed this exhibition, and while critics outspokenly declared it A simulation in wax, he steadfast in his contention remained solidified ectoplasm from a spirit's body. "Sherlock Holmes is dead," said a few weeks ago. "I never Doyle wish revive him again. I wish to be known to posterity not as the creator of a fictional detective, but as a pioneer in spiritualism." Conan Doyle, received his knighthood from King Edward in 1902, came from a distinguished family. He was the son Charles Doyle, an artist, and a nephew of Richard Doyle, famous member of the Staff of Punch.

He was twice married, and is survived by two and a daughter. TEACHERS APPOINTED RISING SUN, July D. L. Musselman announced that the following teachers have been hired to fill the vacancies in the local schools: W. O.

and Mrs. Walter Berryman occupy the front apartment. Post and his mother had gone to the Berryman apartment for a few minutes leaving the hall 'door of their own rooms open.

Although in severe pain, he was not unconscious is immediately after the accident, but was in a semi-comatose state at the hospital during the night. Visited Hospital Mrs.

Post believes that the bump on his head may have been caused by hitting the window ledge after he lost balance. In that case the injury is probably not severe enough to have caused a fractured skull. Post was picked up by James Andrews of the Andrews Confectionery on south Front street and Harry Smith of this city and was rushed to Community Hospital immediately in the Smith machine.
