HOLLY SPRINGS. Miss, April 21.-A
diabolical crime, followed by miscar-
riage of justice. occurred here yester-
day. Some time last night IDA Samshe,
colored girl of 16, gave birth to an
illegitimate child. EARLY in the morn
ing the girls mother wrapped the child
in rags. laid it in the fireplace of their
cabin and built fire over it.
Neighbours called in and saw the in
fant's feet in the fire and pulled the
half-burned body out. The old negress
seized the infant and again thrust it in
the fire, holding it there with spade
until the body was consumed. She
was arrested at noon yesterday and
taken before magistrate, who dis
charged her because there was no evil
dence produced that the child was
born alive. There is great indignation
here among both whites and blacks,
and justice in some form will be melted
out.

ALLEGED RESPONSIBILITY
OF Former Peoria City Oncials for til
Water Tower Disaster.

OF Former Peoria City Oncials for the
Water Tower Disaster.
PEORIA, Ill, April u. Coroner Hoefer
concluded the inquest on the death of
Frank Hogan, one of the victims of the.
water-tower disaster, and the jury
brought in verdict finding the city
authorities who were in power at the.
time of the building of the tower to,
be criminally liable, from the fact
that experts testified that the
material used in the construction
of the tower was not of sufficient
tensile strength to withstand the inn.
mense pressure of 10000 gallons of
water. Immediately following this
verdict the coroner called on the states
attorney and demanded that warrants
be issued for ex-Mayor John Warner
and ex-Alderman E. s. Easton and Sam
Woolner. It was finally decided, how
ever, to defer action in the matter, as
there was no danger of the men in
question attempting to flee the city to.
avoid arrest.

st. Louis Business Stability.


On his return from his western trip
Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew said in an in
terview published in a New York
paper:
But while the business depression and uR-
precedented number OF unemployed are the
common condition Of our western states. we
found one conspicuous exception and that was
st. Louis. st. Louis seemed to be doing as
much business and in more prosperous con-
dition than ever before. Its local industries
are active and healthy and its merchants,
with all that means in the way of employ
ment, are doing an increasing and profitable
business.
THE CAUSE.
The St. Louis business men say that this is
because st. Louis has developed more slowly
it is true. but much more safely and on more
permanent and conservative lines than its
rivals, and especially its great rival tChlcago)
There may be something in that, but 1t is more
due to the fact that Arkansas, Texas and Okla
homa, which the markets OF st. Louis.
have been less affected than any other part OF
the country by the panic and the depression in
business.
MUST REMEMBER
that 10000 people have gone to Oklahoma in
the last fifteen months. and they draw their
supplies from st. Louis The products OF Ar
kansas found q ready market. and its require
ments from the St. Louis market " ere CORE
