MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Weather and Crops.

Nieksburg, Sept. f2.-The weather
crop bulletin of the Mississippi weather
service for the week ending September
10, is as follows:
The past seven days has given mean
daily excess of two degrees in tempera-
ture over the southern and central por-
tions OF Mississippi and a mean daily
excess Of four to six degrees in the
northern portions Of the State. Sun
shine was excessive and beneficial at
the beginning of the week. and during
the latter half the weather was cloudy
for the greater part of the day. Very
little rain fell until Friday, Tut since
that time showers have been o; daily
occurrence at most OF the reporting sta
tions; the amounts were generally heavy
In the interior counties and lighti else
where.
The week started of very faverably
for crops, especially cotton. The clear
days, admitting work in the fields,
found the hands busy picking, and the
dry weather accompanying served to
check damage By rot shedding and
other wet weather injuries. The latter
portion Of the week gave rains and
cloudiness, however. and the condition
OF cotton soon went back to the unfayor-
able state reported in tho last bslletin,
and the latest reports received show
even further decline in condition than
then published. Rot, rust and shedding
are almost universally reported. and
mention Of boil worms are fast becom-
ing general. Planters consider TIE out
look most gloomy, many claiming that
unless the rains let up at once the pros.
poets Of August will be decreased one
half. Strange to say, among the many
reports of damage by rains, there ase to
be found few complaints OF drouth.
These come from the extreme northern
portions OF the State, mainly from Al
corn County, where very little rain has
fallen since April, but tho lack OF mois'
ture in those sections has placed drops
in about the same condition that an ex
cess OF moisture has in the remaining
portions OF the State.

A young, well-dressed girl arrived in
Memphis. Tenn, few days ago, and,
representing herself to be a book
agent, secured board on Mulberry
street. The day after she took all the
clothes belonging to half dozen male
boarders and sold them to junk
dealer. The next day she was seen
on the street and was arrested.
At first she gave her name as Belle
Morrison and denied that she had
stolen anything. Later she weakened,
said her name was Jenny Sharer; that
her mother is an invalid at Bowling
Green, KY; six months ago she began
to sell sbooks, got behind with the
house and pawned her watch to square
the account. When she arrived in
Memphis she learned her mother was
destitute and sent the money derived
from the goods stolen to her. Until a
few months ago she taught school, but,
her health failing, she began the book
agency business. The girl is 30 years
old, pretty, refined and well educated.

State Treasurer Evans appeared before
United States Commissioner Mosely this
morning relative to the special warrant
case and waving examination, a per-
sonal recognizanee of each was taken
in the sum OF $1,000 for appearance at
the November term Of the Federal
Court.
At tho instance OF tho United States
attorney-general, District Attorney Lee
today called on the State officials and
requested OF them the plates from which
the Mississippi special warrants we're
printed. They are wanted for evidence
at st. Louis in the case OF the United
States Government VS.. the ST. Louis
Bank Note Company, the firm which
printed the same. The plates were
promptly delivered, and District Attor-
ney Lees receipt taken therefor, with
the understanding that they are to be
returned here on tho termination Of the
trial. 1t will be observed that this de-
livery was made to the district attor-
ney in compliance with polite request,
which the State officials had no de
position to refuse. They declined the
demands OF Special Officer Burns for the
reason that they do not recognize tha,
he or any other member OF the secret
service had right to make any do

An examination of the aflidavits sworr
out by w. j. Burns shows that they are
against the State officers as individual;

A Georgia Gold bug.

There is one man in Atlanta, Ga, i,
who believes that all the gold there is
in real estate is not to be found by the
process of speculation, and hence, with
his negro attendant, with pick and
shovel, he is turning up the black soil
on the banks of little branch in the
eastern section of town, looking dill
gently for gold which he believes to be
there. The new gold mine is lo-
Gated between Waterhouse and
WHY streets, and the vein is be-
lieved to run east and west. lIeca-
tombs of earth and powders of rock
have been displaced in the effort to get
down to ''slate" on which the gold ia
known by all miners to rest. Six feet
deep down in the murkey soil the exca-
vators have gone, but the coveted gold
eludes the anxious eye, and the miners
turn here and there, laboring under
the difficulty of uncertainty. II he
should luckily uncover vein of gold
he will be Atlanta's benefactor, for il
might prove the ''forty-niner" for the
city and overrun 1t like California in
the initial days Of her impulse to pros
perity. The people in that part of the
city are deeply interested and all oI
them hope the "lone miner" will be re
warded.

has been caused here by the action of
members of the local q. a. r. post in tear
ing down the flags raised by the ladies of
the Equal Suffrage association to com.

The ladies had hung across the main
street two flags having the regulation
stripes, but three yellow stars taking the
place of the regulation n in the field. This
is the regularly adopted emblem of the

stars standing for the seals of Wyoming
and Colorado, which granted the right of
suffrage to women, while the third star,
just showing above the edge of the field, is
supposed to represent Kansas.
a few local Grand Army politicians,
headed by one of their number who had
just paid a fine of $500 for violating the

COCHRAN AT HIS BEST
The Cited Tammany Orator AS.
sails the Income Tax.
He SAYS THB RICH MEN FAVOR IT

Mr.. Bryan, the Young Nebraska Orator.
Made n Brilliant Answer to His Eastern
Opponent-senate WIN Take n Vote or
the Elections Btu Next Thursday.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3I-It was field day
in the house. The opponents of the income
tax had their opportunity. Messrs Covert
and Bartlett of New York, Dunn of New
Jersey and johnson of Ohio, all Demo.
Gratis, presented their opposition, along
with the Republicans, to the proposition
to impose a special tax on wealth. But it
remained for Bourke Cochran, the great
Tammany orator, to eclipse with his elo,
quence against the measure all speeches he
has ever made in congress.
As soon as he arose in his place the house
grew quiet. Members swung their chairs
around to listen, and the galleries grew at
tentive. For .ver an hour the great Tam,
many orator poured forth his elo9uenca
against the income tax. He had hoped, he
began, that the tariff bill would be allow
ed to come to vote unveXed, undisturbed,
free from all danger of embarrassing side
issues. He had hoped that the Democratic
party would first redeem its pledges before
it began to indulge the vagaries OF its mem,
bers. Those who opposed this proposition
were to be subjected to new test of loyalty.
Mr.. Cochran Grows Eloquent.
while willing to vote for the tariff bill, y
he said, I'VE are now asked at the behest
of ID party caucus to vote for Il special tax
on s.. 900 out of 81, 100000 people. When
proposition goes further than mere taxa,
ton and is deliberately designed to tax a
class, those who believe in equality before
the law must array themselves against it,
1t strikes at the fundamental principles of
democracy, at the very root of the govern
ment. 1t is the entering wedge i'll the
shape of retaliatory legislation in this
country. What reason is assigned for
bringing forward such proposition? Why
should homogeneous, harmonious, mill
tant party be plunged into discord by this
proposition? 1t is brought in upon the
assumption that the Wilson bill will pro
duce deficit; upon the assumption that
the existing conditions of businessman UNI
paralleled period of staguation in our his
tory-will continue. l have said before,
and | say now, that if l believed the Viii
son bill would produce deficit in the rev.
enues it would not receive my support.
The wholeeXperience of the human race
demonstrates that the idea that the reduc-
tions carried by this bill will produce
deficit is unfounded-false in theory and a
libel on the Democratic party.'

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Miss Annie Hogan of New York is
visiting her cousin, Miss Lizzie Bannon,
of 1862 Washington avenue,
The Brooklyn Dramatic club enjoyed
sleigh ride to Woodbury. last night.
About twenty couples attended. Supper
was served at the Woodbury. house. The
party returned home early this morning.
A dispatch received here last night
stated that Peter Phelan was at Bellevue
hospital, New York. His brother Joseph
went to New York this morning and if the
doctors at the hospital think it desirable,
will arrange to have him remain there for
some time.
The effort to benefit property owners
on Riverside street. between Bank street
and Washington avenue, and ut the same
time improve an important street, seems
to be misunderstood by some of the people
whose consent is necessary in carrying out
the work. The idea originated with Mayor
Kilduff, who intends to try what he can
accomplish in the way of getting our public
work done at a reasonable cost. Knowing
that this street needs raising from a few
inches at the Bank street end to about two
and one-half feetat the Washington avenue
end he proposed to set the street depart
ment teams at work there during their
hours of leisure this winter. Gravel is
plenty on Green street, the haul is short
and down hill, and before spring the street
could be put in first rate shape practically
without expense to the city. But in order
to do this in a legal manner it is necessary
to summon all persons interested in
property along the street to Il hearing be-
fore the road board, then to report it to
the common council, then to refer it to the
board of compensation for Il report on
benefits and damages, by which time it
would be spring, the teams busy elsewhear
and the work could not be done except 10y
hiring men and teams especially for it,
at the highest prices of the year.
Result, it probably would not be
done at all Now, in order to get right at
1t Mayor kildutf asks the property owners
to sign formal waiver of all claims to
damages. If they will sign it tho work can
be begun at once, and the formaltles of Il
change of grade proceeded with at leisure.
There is no question of the benefit to
everyone on the street in having the work
done, for several times these owners have
appealed to the road board to change the
grade and raise it several feet higher. No
one of them imagines that it will do him
any injury. The paper they are asked to
sign has to do only with South Riverside
street. The work on Washington avenue
and South Leonard street is an entirely
separate matter. Why then, with the very
peatedly asked for. should they not assist
the mayor in his attempt to benefit them,
and sign the paper at once?
