sippi's most favored daughters, has
Just been on visit To our quiet little
city in the interest of the w. c. L. |.
Miss Kearncy was invited to speak to
the Southern University boys, WHICH
she did gracefully and plcasingly.
She is not II lobbyist. but of course
this was IN opportunity for some good
strokes for temperance, and so she
used it. She stressed the point that
both whiskey and tobacco are iaiuri-
Gus to the physical organism and ac-
cordingll works death and destruc-
ton on both sides. With intense
earnestnessand impaSSioned elOquence
she appealed to the young men of the
college to abstain from all habits
whose tendency is to dogeneracy and
degradation. She said there are only
two creatures in the wide world that
touch the vile weed. One is a small,
filthy worm and the other is man.
That is pretty tough, but none the
less true. Eighty boys promised to
discontinue the use Of tobacco by eX-
ample. This means il good deal lost
by the merchants and an equal amount
saved by the young men. One much
loved pastor here who had been using
tobacco for twenty years, stood up be-
fore us and said: Boys. III not be
in amy mans way any more" This
part of the program seemed merely
incidental, but Its good, no doubt,
will he far reaching in its influence.
Mississippi may we'll be proud of
her gifted and cultured daughters.
Wheresoever they 90 honor and lau-
rels await them. May Mississippi yet

Thursion's idea Of the Reorganization OF
the Union Pacific.

OMAH,, Dec. 22.-Gencral Solicitor
Thurston OF the Union Pacific, in speak
ing of the scheme for reorganization. said /:
"1'hcre are many plans for reorganization
of the Union Pacific property i'm the air.
The general scheme. however. that seems
to meet with the most favor is that tho
Union Pacific proper, together with those
lines which are properly n part OF the sys-
tenn. although classed as feeders. shall bc
rcorganized under congressional legisla-
ton and subjected to n salo under the di-
rection OF the court. A sale is absolutely
necessary that q now company may be
formed that will permit fresh start being
made. With the reductions made in the
fixed interest charges. the property would
he oblo to pay interest on its obligations
and the principal on the government
debt, SO the governments security would
grow better every year. while the liability
would grow constantly less. Should the
administration disapprovc, some features
OF this theory of reorganization would
have to be completely discussed over
again. The rights Of the government
must be sacredly guarded as well as the
rights of individuals. and this requires no
uncomfortable time"

He SETS HIS FOOT DOWN

JAcksoNvrLfE, Dec. %. - The Duval
Athletic Club received o set back to-day in
its ct. .Srts to pull of the Corbett- Mitchell

oeiore Governor Mitchell at Tallahassee
and made application for charter. This
the governor fiatly refused, stating that
under cover OF q charter the club pro-
posed to violate the laws of Florida. This
proved q bomb to the sports, and their
CONSERVATION was further increased by
tho knowledge that q strong letter against
the fight has been written by the governor
TO j. X. Tyson, prominent gentleman OF
this city. Tho letter 10 as follows:

When the above letter was shown to
J. l.. Bowden of the Athletic club he said /:
"Had not been assured by our lawyers

RIO HAS FALLEN.
1hst Is the Report, but Il IL Discredited
In Washington.

Copyrighted BY Associated Press.
PERSAMBUCo, Dec. 22.-Startling rumors
have reached hero from various sources
which lend an air of credulity to them. Il
is to tho effect that the insurgent feet at
Rio Janeiro, after two days desultory
fighting, made q determined attack in
force and captured tho city. II il added
that President Peixoto resigned in favor
OF Admiral de Mello, and that Pcixoto is q
prisoner. Though this is general rumor
II is right 10 add that the people of Per-
nambuco do not credit IL. The correspond.
ont was unable to obtain q reply to tho
message sent south, and messages from
the associated press correspondent at Rio
were apparently interrupted, lending color
to the belief something extraordinary has
happened. A battle between tho rebels
and government forces is reported to have
been fought yesterday in the interior.
Fifty government troops arc said to have
been killed.
BUESos AyREs, Dec. "a severe ell
Vngement between the Brazilian insur-
gents and government troops is reported
10 have taken place at Itajahe, north of
Dcsterre. 1t is said that 400 were killed
and largo number wounded. The gov.
eminent is said TO have captured the
rebel warship Mndero.
WASHINGTON, Dec. .2.-Neither in Off.
ciai nor diplomatic circles has any word
been received which confirms the rumors
that Rio has fallen and Peixoto has re.
signed and is O prisoner. The belief
among the officials and diplomats is that
the rumor is premature to say the least.
No such information has been received
from Captain Picking in command of the
United States forces at Brazil. and this is
considered no showing that the Pernam.
buco rumors are not true. Tho depart
ment officials do not believe that they
would be kept In ignorance Of such i'm.
portant events as tho overthrow of the
government and the capture of tho presi-
dent. At the Brazilian legation no cables
have been received since the departure of
Mendonca for New York last Wednesday.
DIR. Zeballos, the Argentine minister. says
Buenos Ayrcs is tho New York of South
America, and would undoubtedly know of
such important results as rumored in
Brazil. He has received no advices. and
doubts the report. He says Mello and
Cana have no force strong enough to
capture Rio, while Peixoto has 5000 SOL
diers to repel an invasion. Tho reports
are probably based on the fact that the
rebels have taken some outpost or part of
the city.

Letters Found Telling About . Plot to
kidnap Baby Ruth.

ABILENE, Kan, Dec. 22.-Two letters
were picked up on tho street here by q
country woman and handed TO the police.
Ono is from Topeka, dated Dec. 10, and
says: 1--WE have concluded to make two
jobs OF the white house business. Wo will
take the oldest child first. We can get her
all right. Mollic will get her and hand
her over to us, and we will keep her till
the reward is offered. II means thousands
TO us to get tho child Ruth. and We
will get her, too, i'm January.
Address me in Chicago. We will
go right on" Tho other was OF an earlier
date from Minneapolis. Il said: ave
have everything ready for the white house
and will send Grover TO hades when the
bugle sounds. We will also get our sa0,-
600. Iwill start for the white house now
We have never failed in our jobs. and
wont know. There is much more In the
houses Of goldbugs and vanderbilis."

of cranks. The queer acting individual
who was around the city early in the week
declaring that he would soon be rich is
supposed 10 be the recipient of them. he
has gone east and has not been located.
