A NEW CANDIDATE.

There is 4 Few candidate in the
field for sheriff, on the Independ-
-nt ticket In the person OF Mr.. +.
Howard.
Mr.. Howard is one of the brst
men in the county, and numbers
his friends 10y the score, which was
evidenced in the recent primary
elect:o but we fear that he aud
his friends, who are ut the head of
this movement, are making serl-
ous mistake. lhasmuch as Mr..
Howard participated in the demo-
cratic primaries, as did his friends
also who gave him strong vote,
we are OF The opinion that It is bad
politics for him to come out on
another ticket. There are great
many persons who, without stop
ping 10 think, through personal
friendship will give him their vote,
but we believe that majority of
the democratic voters in the county
will support the democratic nomi-
nee
If the dem oc1atic party of Pearl
River county fail 10 stand by their
nominees in the general election
then a democratic nomination is
naught in the county.
We believe that Mr.. Howard has
been influenced ia this matter by
friends who do not really compre-
bend the situation and real,z- the
i'll effects of defeat.

frleEos use their Judgment in the

Mr.. Towards best friends will re-

Mr.. Howard and regrets that this

There are good solid men in the
county who will differ with US il

For Hours With the Secretary
of War ON Board
IN AN VOR
To Find the Capital of the
Island of Cuba.
MatanZas Is Sighted Much to
the Surprise of ALI.

Havana, March 27.-Secretary of War
Alger and his party arrived here by the
United States transport ingalls,, after
having lost their way at sea for several
hours. 1t seems that the ingalls, was
making very good time in and was
likely to make Havana Saturday night
If she kept on a straight course. Gen
eral Alger suggested waiting awhile at
Key West and leaving there in time to
reach Havana at 9 Sunday morning.
The Ingalls, put into Key West and
General Alger wired General Brooke
to expect him about 9 Sunday.
The Ingalls, left Key West at IL O'Clock
Saturday night, and the whole party
was up for an early breakfast yester-
day morning, after which all went on
deck to wait for Ell MORO to loom up.
Nine o'clock came, but there was no
sign of the castle. General Alger, get
ting a little impatient, sent to the pilot
house to inquire when Havana would
be reached. The reply was lin about
an hour" An hour and a half passed
with the Cuban coast on the left and
Havana was still unsighted. Toward
noon the roofs of a city could be made
out and General AIger calling for
glass, took a close look.
why, that is Matanzas," he said, and
just then the Ingalls, began to turn
around. The navigating officer was all
out in his calculations. He thought he
was west of Havana instead of east.
Meanwhile Generals Brooke, Ludlow,
Lee, Bates, Wilson and HaSbrouck with
their Staffs, had risen early, boarded
tug and had been cruising outside the
harbor, waiting for the ingalls,. All the
officers were in heavy blue cloth in
honor of the secretary of war, having
laid aside their khaki, duck and flannel.
The generals kept going in and out until
noon, then lunched at a cheap water
side restaurant, and returned to their
cruise, going outside the harbor for an
other look. About o'clock they saw
the smoke of the steamer going down
the coast, but as it was in the direction
opposite from which they expected the
ingalls, they had no suspicion that it
was the transport and therefore return
ed to La Machina wharf.
But the ingalls, it was, and in due
time she entered the harbor, but with
out the arranged reception. Shortly
after, however, the generals went on
board and had a brief conference with
the secretary, who arranged to meet
them again today at the Hotel Trocha,

tiers at Ell Vadado
General Alger did not land, saying
that he preferred to remain on board
the transport. He expects to stay here
two days at least and he may go to
Pinar Del Rio. The trip to Cienfuegos
will be made overland, the transport
going around the west end of the island.
so as to be able to take the secretary
from Cienfuegos to Santiago. General
Alger says his trip is partly for rest and
parity for purposes of inspection. He
desires to get information at first hand
with regard to Cuban affairs and ad-

RAILROAD NEWS.
The Little Station of Morris on
the Santa Fe
Once Had a Future Before 1t of
ROseate Hue.
SCHEME OF TWO MEN
President Strong of the Santa
Fe and Nielsen Morris
Planned to Make 1t a Packing
House Center-Why 1t Failed.

Passengers on the Santa Fe line in
and out of Kansas City pass the little
station of Morris three miles east of
Holiday and ten miles west of Kansas
City. Few of the people who get a
fleeing glance of the miniature station
house through the car windows as the
trains rush by know what future was
once in store for the little place.
1t was a future of the most roseate
hue. Had the plans been carried out
the millions of dollars that have been
used in building up the packing inter-
ests of Kansas City during the past
twelve years would have been placed
there and Morris station could now have
boosted one of the greatest industries
in the whole United States.
To the right of the little station pas
sengers may see for some distance a
tract of uncultiveted land. 1t consti-
tutes the two thousand acres purchased
for the purpose of the establishment of
a packing plant with a capital OF ten
millions of dollars. Back of the scheme
were Nelson Morris, the packer, and
William B. Strong, then president of the
Santa Fe.
Tt was lust twelve years ago that the
enterprising packer and the progressive
railroad president conceived the idea of
giving to Kansas the greatest packing
industry in the country. The packing
houses of Kansas City were in opera
ton, but had not reached their present
enormous proportions, and then, as now,
the Santa Fe was bringing in twO-thirdS
of the cattle. This particular fact was
responsible for the scheme originating
in the brain of the wealthy packer, after
whom the little station was named.
''Stop all the cattle shipped over the
Santa Fe at a suitable point" he pro-
posed to President Strong. TT can be
done by the railroad controlling the
stock yards and making rates that other
stock yards can not compete with"
!, sob hn act
scheme by far in the whole history of
the state.
President Strong took up with it at
once. Ten miles out of Kansas City
was the flag station of "Quivera-" 1t
was decided upon as a suitable place
for the gigantic packing industry and
two thousand acres of land were pur-
chased at once. Simultaneous with the
purchase of the land the little station
lost the name of 'Quivera," and was
rechristened ''MorriSS."
Attorneys were employed to perfect
the titles to the land and plans were
prepared for the establishment OF the

big plant. Arrangements were made for
Mr.. Morris to go to Germany and float
bonds to the amount of $10,000,000. But
before these arrangements were COM
pleted and Mr.. Morris started something
happened. The bankers commenced to
manipulate Santa Fe stocks.
The result of this manipulation is a
matter of Santa F'e history. New in

passing of the great packing house
scheme. Mr. Morris returned to his
packing interests in Kansas City, after
having had almost in his grasp the OPP
portunity of becoming the greatest
packer in the world. Morris con-
tinued, as "Quivera' had been, a small
flag station that passing trains fail to
out whistle.
