erything loose or on hinges met with
the pent-up wrath of the storm god and
got decidedly the worst of the mix-up.
He went further. He tore up trees
by their roots and created electrical
disturbances that the wiseacres are
still racking their heads over.
ELECTRICAL RAZZLE-DAZZLE.
In the last count against him,
remarkable story rests. At about
O'Clock, when the wind was at its
height, all the electrical clocks in the
city were found to be at variance with
the city and county buildings time
piece, and no two of them pointed to
the same hour. The big man who
prides himself on carrying the right
time STROBE into the Western Union and
took pleasure in informing the operator
that his clock was fast. The insinua-
ton was Indignantly resented and quite
an argument ensued. Finally, the
operator asked Ogden the time. The
answer came back over the wire '2:1S.
The hands in the local Office pointed to
2:34 Investigation revealed that the
clock next door said PAS and one
further down the street was 2:10. All
are on the same electrical circuit and
governed by Western Union time from
Washington, hourly. The only eX-
PLANTATION offered is that atmospheric
disturbances will cause electrical dis
turbances''-and if anybody can derive
any satisfaction from that, it is given
gratis.
WEATHER MAN PUZZLED.
L. II. Murdoch, the local weather
man. was UP a row of stumps. The
day, he says, was the most remarkable
in his experience. To begin with, the
atmospheric pressure had been normal
up to 1880 a. M, at which time it be-
gan to fall rapidly, reaching its lowest
point at 2:10 p. m. From then on, it
went up. the recording barometer
showing a sudden jump Of S0-100 of an
inch in a half hour.
With the fall of the atmospheric
pressure there was a corresponding fall
in temperature. the difference between
10 a. m. and 210 p. m. being % de-
grees.
The wind blew at it's highest velocity
fifty miles per hour, at the time of
the lowest pressure and temperature
in itself a remarkable fact. The veloc-
ity is the seconds highest ever recorded
in the Salt Lake office, the highest be-
ing April is. 1874. when sixty miles an
hour was marked UP. A strange CO.
incidence is that the highest wind yes
terday came from the same direction
and within forty-eight hours of the
same day of the month, as that of
twenty-five years ago.
DAMAGE DONE.
AS to the damage done by yester-
DAYS blow out y nothing serious has
been reported Awnings were given to
the mercy of the wind. and that of
Meyers Bros. grocery was completely
demolished. Windows were broken in
various parts of the city, but for the
greater part by flying debris. An old
pioneer tree was torn up on North
Temple. and another on South Main,
while bill-boards up and down the main
streets stood no more show than the
proverbial jack-rabbit.
The small hoy of course was in the
center of every whirlwind of dust he

The health of our community is i'm
proving.
We predict that at no distant day
electric cars will be running from
Magnolia to Summit.
Rev. J. A.Scarborough has given up a
part of his pastoral work in Louisi-
ana because of the distance.
New dwelling houses continue TO go
up between here and Norfield and we
will soon be one-but which one?
Lonnie Simpton has become a
partner with R. l.. Brent in the livery
business, and has moved to to wn.
Grandma Scarborough has returned
to her son Rev. j. A. Scarborough,
where she will make her future home.
Rev. 7. C. Schilling, of Gillsburg,
Miss, will probably assist Pastor And
ing here in the protracted meeting.
If some people could exchange jaw
bone for backbone, wouldn't it be

We looked in on the Pike County
court the other day. Ifthere is anything
in our judgment to judge, Judge Truly

DR.. r. A. Smith and family are now

this hotel will compare favOrably

The finest school building that we
know of in the country is now near
ing completion at FernwOOd. Ii the
people down there have a school in
proportion to their house, it would
pay us all to locate there to educate
our children.
We called on Editor Huff of Mag

that the greatest trouble he ha in

to spoil something good on the Other
side.

Another Hitch in the Homochitto Bridge
Matter.

Another Hitch in the HOmOchitto Bridge
Matter.
The LEADER announced i'm its issue
of last week that the Board of Super
visors had made a new contract for the
erection of steel bridge across the
Homochitto river, at Watson's ford
this time with the Indiana Bridge Co.,
of Muncie, Ind, for S8,OOO.W. This was
the verbal agreement between the
Board and j. M. Mather, of Houston,
Tex, representing the Indiana Co.,
when The LEADER went to press: but
when it came to drawing up the con-
tract and signing the bond, guarantee
ing the bridge to stand 5 years, the
bridge man flew the track, and the
whole bridge matter is again in state
of suspension.
Mr. Z. P. Alsbury. of the firm of E.
p. Alsbury Il Son, Houston, Tex, the
firm which was awarded the contract
at the March meeting of the Board as
the representative of the New Jersey
Steel and Iron Co., for S7,7O.OO, was
here and proposed that for this price
and the $4,000 which the New Jersey
Co. had forfeited, E. p Alsbury Il Son
would carry out the original contract
on their own responsibility, but he Of
fered no satisfactory guarantee or bond
that this would be done and his propO-
sition was declined.
When the Board made the agreement
with j. M. Mather, of the Indiana Co.,
to build the bridge for sS,UO.OO it ex-
pected to get the bridge and have
s25O.OO of the s500O forfeited by the
New Jersey Co. to the credit of the
county bridge fund, but the $4,000 is
the only tangible thing now in sight
out of the whole transaction.
Members of the Board and others
now believe there was some sort of col
lusion between Alsbury and Mather
both of whom hailed from Houston) to
reopen the bridge question and enter
into decker with the Board to extri-
cate the New Jersey Steel and Iron Co.
from legal damages ON its unfulfilled
contract, and that neither OF them had
any real intention of carrying out their
proposed agreements in good faith.

YELLOW FEVER.

A few sporadic cases of yellow fever
have been reported at New Or,
leans and Mississippi City and one at
jackson. 1t appears to be of a mild
type and so far is not spreading. THE
LEADER does not consider that there is
any occasion for serious alarm or ap.
prehension, and counsels against any
thing in the nature of panic or wild
and unreasonable quarantine restric,
tions, which are ten times worse than
the fever, if we may judge by the expe-
rience of the last two years. The fol
lowing paragraph from bulletin is
sued by the State Board of Health
meets The LEADERS hearty endorse
ment, and we commend it to the sober
consideration of our readers:
with our increased exposure to the
island of Cuba, we will probably have
fever in the South every year, so the
ruinous policy of meaningless quaran-
tines must cease, or the country is IT.
retrievably ruined. We appeal to the
towns of this State to withdraw their
quarantines until justified by a rapid
spread of the disease"

After the Deiinquept..

| The seventy-five boards of sinner
visors can put perhaps 10000 i'm the
treasury by ordering the publication
IN their county papers of the names OF
all persons delinquent for poll taxes
The way to do it is to pass an order
that on certain date the list of all
such delinquents who refuse 10
pay their poll tax and yet participate
In primaries and name candidates for
men who do pay their poll tax to elect
at the polls, whose salaries must be
paid by taxpayers as well as the men
who, while refusing to pay their poll
tax, send their children to the free
schools supported by taxpayers
instruct the sheriff and tax collector
to prepare the list, but not to:furnish
the name of any delinquent to the
printer who pays his tax before that
date.
Surely this would arouse the pride
of many white Mississippians, who
have not wilfully become delinauents.
and they will rush to the sheriff 5
office and have their names stricken
on by paying their taxes, rather than
have their neighbors and friends
know that they are reaping the bene-
any OF its burdens. OF course there
would be some men who have will.
fully become delinquent, who would
have to be published in the county
papers, but the cost of such publica-
tiOn, aside from the good it would do,
would be insignificant in comparison
with the thousands of dollars that
would be paid by men who would stop
and settle when they found that they
were going to be published to the
world as delinquents; as white men
who are lodging the payment of their
poll tax, the collection of which was
not made compulsory by the constitu-
tion in order to encourage the negro
not to pay it, so he could not vote, and
who are, at the same time, sending
their children to the public schools at
the expense of the sweat of the face
of their neighbors; who think they
are good citizens, and do not know
that they are not helping to bear the
burdens of government, whose bene-
fits they are reaping, and who have
no idea that they are, in addition to
this, nominating men in the primaries
for them to elect, and whose salaries
they have to foot, because these recre-
ants in the primaries play mouth
bets, having no votes to pay with
at the polls, for the reason that they
are disqualified by the constitution
from voting on account of failure to
pay poll tax. The press of the State
continues to discuss this matter.
Paper after paper is indorsing the
action of the board of supervisors of
Smith county in ordering a publica-
ton of delinquents, and are calling
upon their supervisors to follow suit
