A bill has passed the Mississippi
House of Representative authorizing
Monroe county officials to make their
bonds by guarantee or indemnity com
panies. That custom has long prevail
ed in the matter of bonds in private
corporations, such as express compa-
panies. etc, and thousands of employees
avail themselves of il when their SER
vices are engaged in such positions as
require bonds for the faithful and hon
est discharge Of duty. II operates very
much upon the plan : ineHaare Fam-

REMARKABLE CASE.

Friday Mr.. Nynne T. Baxter. the
coroner for the eastern division of Mid
dlesex. held an inquiry at the London
Hospital, Whiteehapel. respecting the
death of Moses Raphel, aged 30, COM
mereial traveller, lately residing at No.

who died the previous day at the above
hospital, says the London Times, Moses
Davis of the Stanley House, Bow.
identified the body as that of his broth
er-in-lsw. The deceased had been in
witnesses employ for great number
of years.
About six weeks ago he complained
of pain in the head, and also of shivers.
DR.. Fordham was called in to see
him, and gave an opinion that deeeas-
ed was suffering from bronchitis. lie
ordered spirits to be applied to the
head, which was done. but the pain
still continued. and eventually it was
decided to remove him to the hospital.
Uutil the last few weeks the deceased
had been in apparent good health. lie
was wonderful brain worker, and
had kept set of books most accurate
ly. Henry Muir Doyle, house surgeon,
attached to the London Hospital, stated
that when he received the deceased on
his admission he appeared drowsy, and
complained of pain in his head. lie
continued in that state until the 10th
inst, but at times appeared quite clear
headed and rational. The 10th sys-
toms of apoplexy appeared and the
deceased expired ut IL o'clock the
same night. Witness said that since
the death he had made most search
ing examination of the head and brain.
On opening the former he discovered
an abscess in the brain. Ii was about
the size of a turkeys egg, aud had evi-
IDENTITY been there for sometime. On
removing the abscess from the base OF
the brain penholder and nib were
found protruding from the top of the
right orbital plate. The pen was ex-
ccedingly sharp, and, together with the
holder, measured three inches, This
had produced the absccss, and tho alb
scess had caused death. The holder ant

MISSISSIPPI IRON.
DR.. D. L. Phares Writes Regarding
Enterprise Iron Ore.
[From Ia Enternrise Times.l

From the Enterprise flmeSl
Some days since Col l. b. Brown
forwarded to DIR. d. l. Phares, pro-
fessor of biology, of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, numerous
specimens of Enterprise iron ore, lime
stone, for his inspection. The doctor
writes as follows:
Agricultural College, Dee. "a
Hon. l.. b. Brown:
Dear Sir-Thanks for your favor of
the Srd inst, which came promptly.
| delayed reply that l might first ex-
anime the specimens and then be able
to give you more definite statement.
The mineral Gron ore) is good quail
ty of ~fossiliferous iron ore One of
the specimens is such as gradually
changes into the other under physical
and chemical conditions existing in
nature.
The white substance is limstone just
suitable for tluxing the iron ore, which
will be easy to reduce and make an
excellent iron or steel. From your
statement when talking with me. |
supposed the formation was limited to
your immediate vicinity and hence my
asking for section and township num-
bers. was no little surprised to learn
that the bed extends continuously from
the Alabama line across Newton and
Neshoba into Leake, where already
knew of the rich iron ore. | am now
convinced that the bed is of greater
width in part of its course than you
indicate, or that these oflshoots from IL
connected with other localities rich in
the ore, with the same abundance OF
good limestone for tluxing, plenty OF
water and fuel for making the best
-'charcoal iron.'
This industry must sooner or later
be started. Our State has never had
anything really constituting n geo
logical survey, There YVES never sutii-
cient appropriations made, and hence
the explorations of Waiter, Harper ant
IIilgard were necessarily very super
ilcial and every way incomplete, anC
their reports and collections OF fact
only partially published. But w
(most people, have relied too much OIL
them and accepted them as a fina
verdict against the mineral wealth i'm
bedded in our soil.
Very truly yours,
ID, l.. PHARES.

ARTESIAN WELLS.

As the Greenvile Watcrworks Com
pany contemplate boring for water,
the following may prove interesting:
Memphis Avalanche.l
The artesian wells on the corner Of
Fourth and Auction streets, and on
jackson street, are visited daily by
hundreds of people, and the number
of the skeptics daily decreases. The
flow is continuous, and when a cap is
removed from one of the S-inch tubes
the sparkling water spurts several feet
into the air. The company fixed a
few small pipes in one the other day,
and the spray made so pretty n foun-
tain that a photographer was sent for
and several views taken.
Since the artesian company began
work in earnest, owners of other wells
in various parts Of the city have been
making experiments A meter was
attached to the 7-inch well at the
Valley Ice Works yesterday, and it wa'
4 found to be furnishing supply of 500,
900 gallons per day. The water there
has to be raised fifty feet, while the
wells on Austin street overflow so tina
a supply of more than 100000 gal
Ions day may be expected from them
They are eight inches in diameter.
An Avalanche reporter yesterda.
saw number of letters from all part
of the Union to the Artesian Wate
Company, urging them to go on am
giving them every encouragement f
do so.

An Ohio Romance.

ington Critic. Most Of the actors in
the strange drama are personally
known to the writer, and the accuracy
of this narrative is youched for abso-

In lS4S, in the little town of Dorset.
Ohio, Joseph ALEU-, then in his 2lst
year, was married to Mary Ann smith,

the fruit of this marriage, and nothing
happened for six years that indicated

in the lives of the young husband and
wife.
When the California gold fever
broke out il prevailed with more than
ordinary intensity in the Western Re-
serve in which Dorset is situated, and
in 1919 the young husband went to
the mines to make his fortune, promis-
ing to keep his wife informed of his
movements, as well as of what fortune
attended him.
This, for some reason, he did not do,
and Mary, after waiting till several
years passed without having heard
from her absent husband, in 1858 mar
ried her second husband. Amri Low,
then clerk of the township.
The newly married couple soon
moved to farm in the adjacent town.
