THE PURE MILK QUESTION
WILL BE DISCUSSED BY THE
 DAIRYMEN.
At a Meeting to Be Held This Morning Al dernan McCartin Says a City Ordi-
 nance Should Be Passed.

IA meeting of the Jefferson County Dairymen and Stock Breeders associa- tion wlll be held this morning in the Fox building corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street. It will be large ly attended.
 The pure milk question, which recent ly came up at a meeting of the city council, has crea.e ed considerable talk arhong the dairymen and will be brought up at the meeting. With few exceptions the dairy'men are in favor of laws r2gu- la ting the business. and believe that 1t will prove benefioial to all concerned.
 Alderman AIccartin, who introduced the resolution at the council mesting, is we'll posted on the dairy business, hay ing resided for a number of years in the state of New York, where the business is conducted on a large scale.
 My purpose in reviving the question before the council,' said he, was do create a sentiment which would reSuit in the enactment of an ordinance and ultimately in an act of the legislature regulating the dairy business. 1 belleVe t,hIa. it will prove beneficial to the pubic and to the dairymen themselves.
 '"The question: is a vital one and shoub1 be regulated by law. Milk, as we all know, easily aibsorbs impurities. Ths milk from a COW contains the essenitd al principals of the food, which is proven by the fact that we can easily &ell by taking the milk, when a COW has eaten tasting the milk, when a COW has eaten or is of improper quality the milk will be equally as impure and Improper.
 A number of dairymen also expressed themselves in favor of a dairy law

PUBLISHER KILLS HIS PARTNER.
Tragedy Resulting from Business Troubles at
 Aberdeen, Miss.

Aberdeen, Miss, Nov. 9.-A tragedy occurred in the Aberdeen Ledger office which resulted in the death of Geolage S. J. Jackson, one of it's publishers, at the hands of his partner, E. V. Tongue. They had been associated in the publication of the paper about two months, and the killing last night was the result of a misunderstanding incident to partner ship business. It is said that Jackson advanced in violent manner with a piece of iron bar, when Tongue fired two shots from a revolver, one of which took effect in the shoulder, and the uiher entered the neck and passed ent.uely through. Jackson died yesterday.
 Tongue is ex-mayor of Carollton, Miss, his home, and established the Alp erdeen Ledger a year ago. A few months later he formed a partnership with the Graves brothers, of the Ab- erdeen Weekly, when the papers were merged. This, however, lasted only few months, when Jackson and Tongue ba- came associated in the publication of the Ledger, by whom an evening daily has been issued during the yellow fever epidemic. Jackson was an eX-represen- tative of the Alabama legislature. He had been the Aberdeen manager of the Bennett Land and Immigration company two years, and had settled many west ern homeseekers in the county. Tongue was admitted to bail, but upon the death of Jackson was rearre eSted. !

 With reference ito the Cretan question his lordship observed that it was still unsettled, but added: "The conceAG of Europe is like steamers roll, with great power, but little speed"
 Continuing his speech Lord Salisbury said: "One hope we have of preventing the competition of armaments among European powers ending in a terrible effortt for mutual destruction, fatal to civilization, is that the powers may grad ually be brought to act together in a friendly spirit as to all ques1ons that may arise, until at last they shall be welded in some international construc- tion which will give the world as the result of the great strength a long spell of unfet. cred comme rec, prosperous t, ,ade and continued peace"
