sUPERIOR's BLEAK SHORE.
Almost ms Many Perils on the Great

The recent accident to the steamer Mis-
soula tends to show more clearly than any
thing that has occurred the vast area of
Lake Superior, and the possibility of YES
sells crew reaching land after shipwreck
and yet being unheard of for a couple of
weeks after starting on a voyage The
shores of Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa on the big lake are traversed by rail-
ways and telegraph lines. and the towns and
small settlements on the American side of
the lake, even to the islands, furnish ready
means OF communication with the larger
cities; but not on that part of the Cana
dian shore north of the lakes. where a will
derness inhabited by a few fishermen and
Indians exists. This is especially true of the
Canadian shore just above Sault Ste. Marie,
and for long stretch of country to the

Canadian Pacific railway turns in to the
shore of the lake and traverses 1t on toward
Port Arthur and Fort William.
When the Missoula broke her shaft and
was rendered helpless she was less than
twenty-five miles from Caribou Island on

any Roadway toward the Sault, or care for
herself at all on the course she was follow

to Canadian ports at the head of the lakes,

The Fish Market.

Shad from Florida are in the markets now
and are selling at 80 and 10 cents each.
They are very small, and dealers say Trey
do not compare with the quality OF the shao
caught about here. Two shad were caught

that the fish law is being violated in what
is known as Little river, between Anaiostan

succeeded in getting several hundred Dig

it was expected that some prosecutions
would follow, but SO far as is known no
warrants have been issued.

Color of the Eye,
From the New York Times.

1t has been remarked by those who are
NEST conversant with the anatomy of the
optic that the darkest-hued eye is most
susceptible to change The fading of the
black eye is no secret, as it is almost uni
versal, and this is natural and accounted
for from the known fact that the black
eye is not black, but a yellow of deep color
and sometimes found in combination with
one or more colors. The light blue and the
gray seem to be the most lasting.

Sketch of His Life.
Captain Bassett was born in this city in
1919, his father having come to Washing

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.

A horrible shooting affair took place
at Brandon, Miss, last Friday morn
Ing, In which Hon. Il. Dabney Mar.
shall, member OF the Legislature
from Vlcksburg, and two Ut his friends
shot and killed r. T. Dinkins, agent
Of the Austin Road Machine Com.
pany at Jackson.
While standing on the platform of
the depot Dinkins was approached by
Marshall and his two companions, II.
H. Coleman and r. c. Fox Of Vicks.
burg. Marshall walked up to Dink-
ms and said "This is Mr.. Dinkins,"
and placing a pistol at Dinkins' stom-
ach discharged the weapon. Dinkins
grabbed the pistol just as it fred, and
possibly the first shot did not take
effect. AS Dinkins walked away from
Marshall there was a fusilade OF shots
from Marshall's companions. 1t is
thought Dinkins fired Marshall's pis.
tol at the latter, as it was found in
his hand when dead.
The cause which lead to the killing
is a story OF a revolving character
told on Marshall by Dinkins. The
parties to the horrible affair have
been arrested and placed in Jail at
Brandon. The killing of Dinkins
seems to have been a cold. blOoded,
heartless murder.

from delegates who attended the late

Jackson. 1t seems that the city gov
eminent nor the citizens seemed dis.
posed to look after the comfort Of the
immense crowd that were in atten.
dance on that occasion. A collection
had to be taken up among the dele,
gates to pay for ice water and poster
while the convention was In session.
There was talk at one time among
the delegates of introducing a resolu.
tion condemning the unhospitable
treatment Of the Jackson people and
suggesting that the next convention
be held at some other city Of the
State. Jackson was reaping a rich
harvest as the crowd was estimated
to be about 1000 people and every one
