and our fine fibered oak is begin
ming to attract the attention of .h6
finishing and furnishing manrfac
turers of america. Now the Gnlt
and Ship Island railroad Is in Op
GRAFTON aud furnishes easy and in
expensive access to our splendid
Ship Island harbor, the lumber in
dustry of the State has been given
fresh impetus. All the mills are
running on full time aud find eager
demand for their output.
The oyster industry of our gull
coast is increasingly remuncrative
All the conditions are favorable tl
the growth of tins luscious bivalve,
and we challenge the world on the
rich yield OF our oyster beds. One
of the many canning factories OH
the coast has an annual sale OF
nearly 45OO,OOO.
The central section of the State
has been devoted considerably to
truck growing and Embarrassing,
and at large profits. One town
alone, Crystal Springs, has in.
creased its shipment of vegetables
and strawberries from a few Gal
loads ten years ago tO $40 caf
loads in 1896. The tomato is the
leading article Of production, and
Is unsurpassed in the world.
Strawberry culture has also been
quite profitable, and so perfectly is
our soil adapted TO its growth that
the Mississippi strawberry ranks
first in the great city markets OF
the country.
One of the hopeful evidences OF
a large industrial prosperity IN our
State is the increasing number OF
small farmers. The average size
of farms has decreased from 90
acres in 1860 to 1913 in 1870, to $50
in 1880 and to 122 in 1890. So it is
seen that they are now less than
one third the size of thirty years
ago. The old tenant system and i'm.
mense plantations are giving away
to the advancing number OF indus.
triOus, economical free holders.
And another gratifying fact is that
Mississippi farmers have less mort
gage Indebtedness than those of
any other part If the country.
And that suggests an additional
statement about our States finan.
cial condition. The Indebtedness
of Mississippi is about the smallest
in the Union, being only sl9.GG
per capita, while the average in
the United States is $l14.1J. The
recent sale of @4OO, 900 5 per cent.
State bonds commanded d premium
of % per cent. and the entire issue
was taken by the citizens of the
State. Indeed there has been
marked progress II our financial
matters. The storm OF 1893, which
swept over the country and
wrecked SO many OF the strongest
banking institutions of the country,
only affected one in this State.
And through the intervening years
of strain and unrest our financial
institutions have prospered and
multiplied. Our interest laws are
liberal, and ample protection is
given the creditor.
Taxes are low. Tie State taxes
for 1896-97 is six mills, and the
county taxes are limited by law to
sixteen mills. Few Of our cOun.
ties approach the limit.
The outlook is most encouraging.
Onr people are contented and hap
py. Being an agricultural people
no city in our State of
1900 inhabitants-they are con
servative and moral, the very class
oil which the nation confidently
relies In every time, whether of dan,
ger or prosperity.

the Union Pacific system in December,
1893; the BIT. Joseph and Grand Island,
left the Union Pacific on March 1, 1897;
the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern, left the Union Pacific sys-
tenn on March IL. 1897; and the Kansas
Central left the Union Pacific system
on Oct. !, 1897.
Whether the lines that were once part Of
the Union Pacific and during the receivership
have become Independent properties will
under the reorganization of the parent road
again become part of the great Overland
route is much mooted question, not only
in railway circles, but in every place where
the hope Is entertained that the Union Pacific
may recover it's lost prestige and become the
leader among transcontinental lines. Whether
this desideratum, which would mean as much
to Omaha as to the Union Pacific itself, will
be achieved developments after the foreclosure
sale alone will tell. 1t is doubtful If the re-
organization committee itself would vouchsafe
a correct answer, and certainly no one out
side that powerful body knows accurately
what the future of the reorganiZed railroad
will be. With the headquarters of the rail-
way and its most important mechanical shops
located at Omaha the advantage to that city
to have all the branches that have strayed
away again included in the Union Pacific sys-
tenn is easily seen. The work at both shops
and headquarters would be vastly increased,
and the hundreds of Omaha families that have
gone out to other Western points because OF
the establishment of headquarters by the in
dependent lines would return to make 1t
their home.

told to give up what he had. He drew large
revolver and pointed it at one of the men.
The fellow began swinging a large club and
Arbuckle backed away from him, but as he
kept on coming Arbuckle snapped the weapon
at him, but it did not go off; finally, after
swapping it two or three times it discharged,
but did not wing the fellow. At the discharge
of the revolver both men ran and were soon
lost in the darkness. The police were imme
diately informed of the facts, but could gather
no clue as yet.

THE BISHOP CAPITuLATED.
Sermon to Men Only Had to Re
Postponed.


1t was with a look of intense sur
prise upon his face that Bishop John
Stanley. of Fargo, N. D., stepped into
the pulpit of Immaculate Conception
church last evening. 1t had been an
nounced that the bishop would speak
in the evening to men only. In conSe-
uuence of this announcement the
church was we'll filled with gentlemen
from the various parishes of the CITY,
IL appeared, however, that there were
quite a number of women, well pro
yided with Ewes sense Of inquisitive-
ness. that thought it would be interest
ing to hear q lecture for men only.
Consequently they made their appear
Rnce. and as they came in large num-
bers. were admitted.
1t was the presence Of these women
that occasioned the look Of surprise.

New looked about himself for some mo-
fnents in the endeavor to grasp the
situation His first words destroyed
the hopes of the women gathered. Il
must complement the men upon the
number present tonight" he said.
But l see that we have strangers pres
ent. in consequence of which l will

spoken tonight, tomorrow night, and 1
hope that all the gentlemen present
will come then also. The ladies may
stay tonight, but they must not come
tomorrow.

TWO NOTABLE EVENTS,
Subject of It. b. walkers Address to
Y. NJ. G. A.


IT. B. Walker addressed the mems
meeting at the Y. M. c. A. yesterday
afternoon on "A Lesson From Two
Notable Events in History These
events were prophesied by Christ. One
was the prophecy that the temple of
Jerusalem should not be rebuilt until
in the latter days of the Gentiles Mr..
Walker read the account from Glib
bon's History Of Rome, narrating En-
peror Julians attempt to accomplish
the rebuilding, his purpose being to
disprove the truth of the prophecy
This attempt had proved a failue, as
all the elements discouraged the work
men, and the project had to be aban-
dCned. The other prophecy was that
Jerusalem was to witness the greatest
devastation in the history of man.
The naturalization of this prophecy is
chronicled by the Jewish historian Jo-
sephus, and refers to the siege of Je-
rusalem. During the siege 100000
people died, and the details of the suf-
fering Of the people were most horrible.
Mr.. Walker believed that these
prophecies were made by Christ upon
authority of God, who had full knowl-
edge of the coming events. Mr.. Walk
er drew the lesson that life was short
at it's longest, and that this life was
well spent in obeying the expressed
will of God, which would be prepa-
ration for a future life.

Women in Business.

Hon. Carroll D. Wright, In his article In
the Chautauquan, Are Women Hurting the
Chances of Men in Business?" makes the
following assertions:
1.-THE fact Is absolutely demonstrated that
the proportion of females in all occupations
followed is gradually increasing, and that
women are to some extent entering into
places at the expense Of the males. A closer
study Of all the facts, however, shows that
while the statement just made is true, women
are more generally taking the places Of chi!-
dren. Through the influence Of higher
intelligence and the action of law. the number
of children employed in manufactures is con-
stantly decreasing. In 1870 the percentage
of children OF the whole number OF persons
emplaved in manufacturing was 5.5S, while
in 1890 the percentage was only 2.6s. In
very many classes, as children have been
excluded through law and other influences,
adult women have to some extent taken their
places. There need not be any alarm, there
fore as to the encroaehments of women upon
the occupations held by men,"

But in the past year I have been so weak
that l have had to return to the use OF this
grand remedy, and, l am proud to say, with
good result. l have used, but not abused
Duny's Pure Malt Whiskey, and it certainly
is a grand success.
My wife was, a short time ago, taken with

this city. asked if we had any good whiskey
in the house; if so, to give her some at night
She had not slept for two nights. I gave her
some of Duffy's Malt. She went to sleep and
slept for five hours. 1t is this that makes me
feel that it is a grand success, and l shall
be pleased to answer any inquiries"
There are many people who are going
through painful experiences which might be
avoided by the timely use of this grand medi-
cinal whiskey.
