,verything is quiet now.
Plows Follow the Pickers.

A farming condition rarely seen or
heard of now prevails in several counties
in the delta, according TO Philip Bank
stone, of Carrolton.
In Sunilower aud Washington counties
farmers are following up the cotton pick
ers with the plows. There is from a
third to two-thirds Of bale of cotton to
the acre in the fields of some planters,
Mr.. Bankstone says and the farmers are
trying to gather it and at the same time
not retard the work of planting another
crop. Much of this cotton is on the
ground and by no means all that remains
in the field will be gathered.
This condition arises from several
causes. The foundation for it lies in the
unusual crop of cotton. From bale to
bale and Il half is the average produced
on the lands in the sections in question.
:! scarcity of hands for picking it fol
lowed, and cold weather set in. Negroes
do not take much to the cotton fields in
cold weather, and will not work unless
exceptionally good prices are offered for
gathering the ilcccy staple. Such are the
causes which give rise to the almost un-
beard of condition of cotton picking in
March, when usually the soil is being pre-
pared for the seed of another crop, and
which rule is not being varied from in
this extraordinary instance.

The State board of health intends to

needful arrangements to prevent re-
currence of former Scares on the sub
ject of yellow fever. The executive
committee of the State board, consist
ing of Drs. Hunter, Kiger and Harral-
son, met at Jackson Il few days ago for
the purpose of looking over the situa-
tion and reaching II plan of adequate
prevention and protection. DR.. Hunter,
secretary of the board, states that there
is at present no indication that there
will be n single ease of yellow fever
in the State during the coming summer.
The executive committee will make
arrangements for full and immediate
notification, however, in case it should
inadvertently creep in, so that it can
be stamped out Immediately.

burg Landing Sherman told Grant TINT
they must make preparations to retreat
over the river during the night. Grant
replied that Buel. would be up with re-
endorsements, and a victory would be
won on the morrow. Sherman said that
inquiry developed the fact that Buell.
could not possibly reach the ground in
time for the battle of the following day.
Grant replied 4 am firmly impressed
that Buell. will be here. and shall stay
where am His impression was
correct, and he won victory the next
day"
1T is my impression" said Mr.. Good
rich, 'that the very first case of we'll
defined modern telepathy occurred
upwards OF so years ago. a lady in New
York was entertaining some friends in
her parlor, when she suddenly, as one
in a trance, began to describe ship
wreck which she said she could mental
ly see. She described it with such vivid
ness OF detail that profound impress
sion was made upon the minds of all
present. There happened to be one
cool-headed person there who wrote
down the day, the hour and the minute
when this description of the shipwreck
was made. and few weeks later news

ceived moi only impressions concerning
the death or wounding of their friends,
but concerning their own impending
death. Every old soldier will remem-
Der number OF instances of bright,
happy-dispositioned fellows in the
ranks, or carrying swords and wearing
opaulettes, who were fearless of death
and careless of their future, who would
ut times, before battle, become grave,
solemn, thoughtful, and announce to
their comrades the impression that
their turn wolld come next. Almost
invariably these impressions were fol-
lowed by the actual facts of sudden
woundng and death. recollcct one
particular instance which occurred at
Port Republic. We had battery ad-
vantageously posted upon an eminence
not far from the bridge, aud when the
confederates came to attack us they
planted battery within easy range of
us and commenced an artillery duel.
One of our cavalry men who had in
formed his comrades that his last day
had dawned had his head torn off with
n cannon ball; his legs contracted, and
he remained on the horse until taken
of by comrades"
ut is a pity that some of our generals
had no telepathic means of getting cor
rect impressions of the enemy" said
DR.. Miller. "When Grant came to Chat
tanooga In October, 1863, he noticed a
rebel cannon formidably posted on
Lookout mountain. and ordered that he
be informed as soon as the gun was
fired. Four days passed, and then Grant
said: That gun will never be fred, It
Is Quaker gun And he was right.
Logs painted black were called
Quaker guns, With lot of those de-
coys the confedcrates fooled Mcclellan
for weeks at Yorktown; and in the same
manner they fooled Halleck before
Corinth. But Grant had more gump-
tion, or whatever you call 1t. than to al
low himself to be fooled In that way.

ONAHA' 5 BIG EXPOSITION.
Plans for Several of the State
Buildings Received and Be-
ing Acted Upon.
SOME OF THE WORK ALREADY UNDER WAY.
Thirty-Flve States Have Already Given
Notice of Their Intention to particle
pate In the Big Show-A Great Gov
ernment Building Five Hundred Feet
Long.


OMAHA, Neb., March PLANS for
state buildingsa at the 1ransmlssissippi
exposition are coming in rapidly. The
department OF publicity has just
reached the architects drawings of the
Minnesota building, the Montana
building, the Arkansas building, the
Denver blilding and the Missouri
building. The plans for the proposed
Iowa building met the hearty ap-
proval of exposition authorities.
The Illinois building is nearly COM
pleted, with the exception of an addi-
tional wing made necessary for the ac-
commodation of the fine art exhibit
which Illinois will bring to the exposi-
ton.
The Wisconsin building is well under
way and is one of the most complete
state buildings on the grounds.
The Nebraska building is practically
completed.
The plans for the Denver or Colorado
buildings have been accepted and
the contract will be let in day or
two.
Plans for the Georgia Pine palace
have been submitted. 1t will be ,eon-
structed wholly of pine donated by the
people of Georgia. 1t is IA handsome
structure.
The Minnesota building will be con-
structed on similar lines, of unhewn
Minnesota logs. The design of the
architects is most pleasing
Plans for the Oregon building are
now being drawn, and will be sub
mitted next week. Members of the
state commissions of other states send
assurances that plans for their state
buildings will be forthcoming within
a short time. 1t is highly probable
that the states of New York
and New Jersey will construct hand
some buildings at the Transmississppi
exposition. Thirty-five states have,
to date, decided to participate in the ex-
position. In 80 Of these commissions
have been appointed and reports from
agents in the field are to the effect that
at least live more states will be organ
lied within the next ten days The
winter weather having been more
favorable, construction work is fast adj
vancing and is progressing in the main
c4urt,rthe bluff track and the midway,
with great rapidity.
The great government building, 800
feet long, and the pinnacle of whose
dome is nearly 200 feet high is nearly
done. The management finds it nee
essary to build several annexes to ac-
commodate the extraordinary demand
for exhibit space.

Two Men Left In the Hospital. One Died
on Shipboard and Another Conquered the
Disease and Recovered.
NEW YORK, March 2l.-The steamer
Strabo, Capt. Jardine, which arrived
here yesterday from Rio Janeiro, lost
one of her crew from yellow fever dur.
ing the voyage to this port.
While in port at Rio Janeiro, two OF
her crew were taken i'll with symp-
toms of yellow fever. They were re-
moved to the hospital on shore just be-
fore the steamer sailed from that port.
The Strabo sailed from Rio on Febru-
ary 22 When but Il few days out the
ships cook, Henry Kearton, of Liver
pool, AZ years old, was taken sick with
yellow fever, and although Capt. JAR
dine did all in his power TO relieve the
patient, kearton gradually grew worse
and died on March 2.
Capt. Jardine, who attended Kear-
ton during his illness, was taken down
with the dreaded disease on March 2.
The attack was u severe one, but the
captain rallied quickly and was con-
salescent when the steamer called at
St Lucia. March II, for coal.
When the Strabo reached port to-
day the health officer ordered strict
quarantine of the vessel. She will be
detained for Il thorough disinfection,
the crews quarters will be fumigated
and all the effects and bedding will be
disinfected. The captains room and
effects will also be disinfected There
were no other cases of sickness during
the voyage to port.

Ever Quarter, Where Necessary Paying
Gilt Edge Prices for the Same.
TACOMA, Wash, March 21.-Ofiicers
of the Northern Pacific steamship Vic
toria, which arrived Saturday night
from China and Japan, report that the
British government is massing very
powerful fleet of war ships in Chinese
waters and that the British are buying
all the coal coming to those waters
for their men-ofwar and SO anxious
are they to get it that they send vessels
to sea and there hail the colliers and
bargain for their cargoes, paying gilt
edge prices, if necessary
The British are said to be buying all
the available coal from the Suez canal
to the northern coast of Siberia, as
they do not want to use Japanese coal.
Purser Mcdonald says there are now
80 or 40 British war ships on the China
station and the fleet has been consider
ably augmented during the last few
weeks. Among the latest arrivals was
the big marine fighter Powerful, one
of the most destructive vessels afioat.

lady had met his death. There can he
no doubt that there was thought trans.

That reminds me-" said newspaper
correspondent, "of book which read
30 years ago. II was treatise on ali
diseases, prepared by a physician
named Gum, and was designed to be
household necessity. 1t was entertain
ing and instructive. remember in his
essay on mesmerism (that was before
the word telepathy came INTO common
use) the author said that when he was
a young man he was very much in love
with bright and beautiful girl who re.
turned his affection. One day he went
into park and sat there thinking of his
love. In short time she appeared be
fore him and said that she had been
thinking of him SO constantly that she
had come to the park hoping that she
might find him there. He attributed
the occurrence to mesmerism, and al
different hours, without warning her
he went to the park and, by fixing hi:
mind upon the object of his affections
he could invariably draw her to the
spot. 1t usually took her half an houl
to dress and reach the place, so the
young physician calculated that his
mental command that she come to him
was received and obeyed instantly"
"By the way" said DR.. Miller, about
written by Mark Twain on the subjec,
of telepathy which made great i'm
preston upon my mind. There wcrea
number of instances given out Of the
personal experiences of Mark Twain
and one of them remains until this day
very wildly impressed upon my mem.
ory. 1t seems that one evening. in New
York, Mark Twain was thinking of
literary friend of his. away out on the
other side OF the continent in California
and conceived the idea of a peculiar
style of book, for the writing of which
his friend was particularly well fitted.
He gave the matter considerable atten.
ton during the few remaining days OF
the week, and on the following Sunday
he wrote letter to his friend in Cali.
fornia, giving skeleton outline of the
book which he believed that he could
write, and make considerable money
by publishing. Before mailing the let
ter which he had written he rceoileda .

Mark Twain first gave it cons r6 Jon
The letter from California contained
detailed outline of the skeleton of the
same kind of q book; only instead OF
suggesting to Mark Twain that he
write the book, the writer asked his
opinion and judgment as to the ad.
visibility of spending some time in the
preparation of such book, and as tc
whether he could secure its publication
at advantageous terms to the writer
OF all of the instances given in the su.
perior article written by Mark Twain

CONDENSED TELEG RAMS.

ONE of the bloodiest battles ever
fought in the Kentucky mountains took
place on the 2lst on Pucket's creek, in
Harlan county, in which three men
were killed and two injured.
THE statement of the condition of the
treasury on the 2lst shows: Available
cash balance, 1928, 74a, ,O43; gold reserve,
s171, 179,7 ,797.
LATHAM, ALEXANDER & Co., publish
letter warning cotton planters to hold
down the acreage of cotton.
THE monthly statement of the collec
tions of internal revenue, issued on tho
2lst, shows the receipts during Febru-
ary from all sources amounted to Sll,-
os6, $50, a gain, as compared with Feb
ruary, 1897, of s., ,257, 1888.
w. O. THOMPSON, white farmer was
found murdered in the woods three
miles from his home near Sylacauga,
Ala, on the 21st. He had given testi-
mony against illicit distillers of his Sec
ton, and It is generally believed that
they murdered him.
THE most sensational turnpike raid SO
far made in Kentucky occurred on the
Goth, in the west end of Boyle county,
near Danville. There was rattling
fight at one of the gates between the
raiders and the county guards, both
guards being wounded, but repulsing
the mob.
THE department of state is informed
by the United States consul-general at
Ottawa, Ont, that the same duties are
imposed on goods destined for the Klon-
dixie region as are imposed on goods inn
ported into any other part of Canada.
THE Bank OF Nickerson, at Nicker-
son, Kas., was robbed on the night of
the Goth by five men. Citizens who were
passing the building were held up and
forced to go inside, where they were
kept until the safe was blown open and
the money secured. About $4,000 was
secured.
THE Black Hills ranges are being
secured by United States agents for
