Editor Dcmocrat-Slar;
MysOlf and family have just return
cd from q three weeks stay At the
iron aud sulphur springs. four miles
north Of Moss Point, aud IN the
ncighb0rll0od of fCunninghan's Bluff
aud Vicc's Mil. There are eight or
ten Ice cold springs there, all strong
with iron or sulphur, or both, besides
containing other minerals. AS these
springs have had no name, and as
they arc perfect and almost an inn
mediate cure for dyspepsia or indigps-
ton, | suggest tho name "Digestia."
| went there almost prostrated with
dyspepsia, not daring before l went
there 10 cat anything but the lightest
food. Several of my family were suf-
fcrlng in the same way. Since drink
ing these waters, my family and my
self have eaten of every thing that
came before us without any want of li-
gesiion. These waters give anyone
ravenons appetite for food, but almost
no desire for water, yet any one can
drink half gallon of il without any
bad effects.
A II our local physicians recommend
these waters, and AT least one of them
claim they are a. good as Bladon OF
Healing Springs.
Many Of our citizens send regular
ly for these waters. AZ yet they are
free to all. Myself and family are
under many obligations to Mr.. Sam
Oliver for kindness shown us while
there Knowing these waters, If used,
will benefit any ono who is troubled
with Indigestion, flux, or other
bowel and stomach diseases, | write

depot the honorary pail bearers and vari-
Gus committees took the body in charge,
and it was escorted by Company A. Sec
ond Regiment |. n. G and TorreDee
Post G.. A. R., the guard of honor and
several thousand citizens. The body was
borne to the federal building. which had
been elaborAtely draped IN mourning.
The casket was conveyed to the court
room ip which the dead Justice frequently
presided, and placed upon a handsome
catafalque. The face Of the beloved jur-
list was exposed to view. and during the
few hours the body lay in state it was
viewed by several thousand people.
The public and private buildings we're
draped in black, and presented a sombre
appearance. A high wind during the
early morning destroyed many deccra-
tions. All along the line OF march over
which the funeral procession moved flags
were displayed at half mast. Besides the
distinguished gentlemen who accompa-
MED the remains from Washington, there
were many Others assembled here to pay
their last tribute OF respect. The supreme
court OF the state was represented, and
there were large delegations of attorneys
from all states included within the circuit
presided over by the dead Justice.
At 2 O'Clock the services were held in
the Unitarian church of which the de-
ceased had been a member. The church
was entirely Inadequate to accommodate
even a small portion of the crowd about
it long before the doors were opened.
The funeral procession, headed by
%clergymen, moved up the central aisle,
followed by the pail bearers bearing the
casket. In a few minutes the family en-
tered with Chief Justice Miller, members
of the state supreme court and various
bar delegations and many handsome
floral tributes. The burial service was
read by Pastor Hsssell, with prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Mcllvain and sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Hassell.
The funeral procession to Oakland
cemetery was the largest ever seen here,
including officials and court dignitaries,
military and civic societies, fire depart,
ments and citizens. The hearse was
drawn by four black horses. The services
at the grave were very simple and the
body was lowered and covered from sight
forever.

French Retaliation.

PARIS, Oct. lS.-There has been great
excitement during the week at Lyons over
the new United States tariff law, and
Burdeau, the Lyons deputy, has given
notice that he will. in chamber, demand
retaliation for the increased duties on
French goods. He will especially pro-
pose that a retaiiatory duty be placed on
petroleum, and will also Suggest that
boards of inspection be established for the
examination of all imports from the Uni
ted States. On the other hand. the com
mittee for defense on the silk market held
a great meeting at Lyons at which the
speakers took the ground that retaliation
was likely to do more harm than good.
The president of the chamber of com
merce called attention to the fact that re-
taliatory policy against Italy has already
cost the Lyons market 100000 francs
worth OF business and given Germany in
dustrial supremacy in Italy. Besides not
able injustice committed by France and
other countries toward America IN the
matter Of pork had led TO comforting OK
traordinary powers upon the president of
the United States by the Edmunds retail
alton bill and might entail dangers to
great French staple articles of export,
particularly wines and silks.
The president was followed by i senator
and two members Of the chamber of depu
ties. all of whom spoke to the same effect.
The Petit Journal thinks the bill affects
England and Germany more than France,
which ought not to be drawn into making
reprisals against the United States.
Temps holds that il the new American
tariff is injurious to French interests
France can't complain, as it has for over
nine years persisted in enforcing an IN
wise act that has been injurious to Amer
lea. The moment has come. it says, to
repair this mistake, and the circumstances
are favorable. The council of the depart
ment OF Bouches du Rhone has already
called for the annulment OF the decree
against American pork.
A meeting of the cabinet was held to-
day, at which the final draft OF the GUS
toms tariff was approved. The cabinet
also accepted the reductions made by the
budget committee in expenditures, as
estimated by Rouviner, minister Of
finance. This leaves $500. 900 francs
available, thus permitting the govern
ment to reduce the duty on alcohol.

The muskrat has added his prediction
to those already made concerning a hard
winter. The Indians attach more i'm
p~ortunce to the muskrat sign than to any
other. They measure the probabilities
of the winter by the size of the muskrat's
hut. If he builds low it means an open
winter. If his house is over two feet
high it means a severity of winter
weather in proportion to the height. The
muskrat is putting up n seven story

At Rock Springs.


Mayor Riner. who went to Rock Springs
Wednesday determined to securs coal for
the market, is home. He sent one car on
yesterday, and says the town will receive
quite a supply this week. The mayor
confirms the report hat owing to the
failure of the company to move coal on
account Of the car and engine shortage,
miners are idle.
The Salt Lake Tribune. in commenting
on the situation at Rock Springs, says:
Many miners are idle, willing to work.
but they can't get it to do unless Uncle
Sans huge pet, the Union Pacific, will
get a move on itself and forward the
necessary cars to this point to keep the
immense deposits rolling.
But, said a Union Pacific official to-
day, what are we going TO do? The road
has not got the cars; they are short all
over the mountain division; Furthermore.
they are lame on motive power; one loco.
motive has to do double duty. and the
engines are old at that. We are power
less to act, come what may
Even the mines that are running now
are forced to suspend operations ever few
days until cars can be procured.
The daily capacity of the Union Pacific
mines is said to be 300 cars.
AT present about 1000 white men and
300 Mongolians are employed in and
around the mines.
The railroad company is at present
over 1000 cars behind on orders, with no
favorable outlook or means of tIding over
their embarrassment in the near future. "
