The best authorities say, is a disease
Of the blood.
Therefore local applications cannot

Being a constitutional disease it

Hoods sarsaparilla.
By thoroughly purifying the blood,
this great medicine reduces the in
aammation Of the mucous membrane
and stops all catarrhal discharges Of
the nose, throat, stomach, bowels,
bladder and generative organs.
Catarrh is especially dangerous in
persons who inherit or have acquired
a predisposition to consumption.
In these and ali other catarrhal cases,
Hoods sarsaparilla 50 thoroughly rem
ovates the blood and restores strength
and vigor that it permanently cures.
In fact, because Of the character Of
the disease, and the peculiar merit Of
the remedy, Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
common-sense treatment for catarrh.
"Iwas a sufferer from nasal catarrh, grad
ually growing worse. I began taking

way with the little baby and implicated
her mother as an accomplice. She agreed
TO take the officers to the place where
she said they buried the child. and was
sent by the chief in a buggy with De
tectives Sutton and Cairns to show them
the exact SPIT She directed them to drive
down TO Lincoln street and over the
Big Arkansas river. She got out with
them and went down of the bank near
the water edge. where the sand showed
signs of having been recently disturbed
and got down on her hands and knees,
run her hand down IA the sand and got
hold Of the guilt in which the baby had
been wrapped. She pulled on this and the
quilt came out and she lunged her hand
in again and pulled out the dead infant
by the neck, with apparently no more
feeling than if it had been a dead pig.
The baby was dressed in a little blue
print slip, and the features were distorted
from the throttling handkerchief tied
around its neck. The body was taken
to ellis undertaking rooms, and Coroner
NsCoIlister was notified. and made an in
vestgation, and viii empanel jury for
an inquest Monday morning. It was as
certained by the officers from a family
living at l-E NlcDllA street, near the
river, that some one at their house saw
the two women going to the river with
the bundle in their arms, and that in a
little while the elder woman came back
and stopped at their house and enquired
about how soon the street car on South
Main street would be along. and that the
younger woman Joined the elder in the
road and they went off toward the car.
The girls mother was re-arrested later
in the day and, together with her daugh-
ter. was turned over to the county and
are now in the county jail. The girl
stated that a man named Fred Kaiser
wa sthe father Of the child. but did not
implicate him IN any way IN the death
of the baby. Kaiser was arrested on a
bastardy charge. issued from police
headquarters. He denies that he is the
chld's father.
1t IS understood that Mary Mark has
indicated desire to plead guilty and
throw herself on the mercy Of the court.
Nicholas Marsh. the unfortunate father
and husband Of the criminals, was
when he heard that a muir
der had been committed. and gloomily
gathered the other children In his wagon
and went home to the quiet regions Of

the book will have clear conception OF
the course of events. The pedagogical
arrangement is faultless, it is fully in
dexed, and there axe summaries at the
end of each chapter; it is accurate in
details, abundant in Illustrations care
fully prepared, and contains many val
liable maps never before published. This
interesting history embraces the result
of numerous valuable contributions that
have been made to Mississippi history in
recent years, and gives less space to for
eigners and more to Mlssissippians than
any other history of the State. Another
important feature, and one omitted by
most other histories, is the skliful pre-
sentation in special chapters Of the re-
ligious history of the territory and State,
combining the educational, social and
industrial advancement of the people.
The part devoted to the War between
the States is comprehensive and accu-
rate sketch of the patriotic struggle OF
the Southern soldiers in defense OF the
Mississippi Valley. This part is spe-
ally commendable as many of the So
called histories are but fictions, particu-
larly in their references to the War.
Some of these school-books not only
distort history but are written in ma
lignant vein, stamping the authors as
prejudiced, and, therefore, unreliable.
Southern people should give preference
to school histories written by Southern
authors, and build up Southern publish
ing houses by patronizing Southern
publishers. This very interesting vol
ume, the 'School History of Missis-
sippi" is written by Franklin L. Riley

THE OIL DISTRICT.

The oil craze at Beaumont has
subsidized, and nearly all of the
"boomers'' and confidence opera
tors have departed for other fields
where they hope to find more
green customers. A large con-
tingent remain, however, believ-
ing that there are still dupes who
may yet be caught by their allur-
ing schemes. Nine-tenths of the
reported discoveries of oil were
false, and Of the 800 companies
organized about the same per
centage were shaky concerns and
may never again be heard of.
Neither will their promoters.
Those who bought the shares on
the representation of extravagant
promises made in circulars and
display advertisements will hold
the stock as sad membranes of
these oily schemers. A number
of these "fakers'' are from Cali
fornia and Colorado-the home of
the "boomer.' They live upon
confiding people, and SO conduct
their shady transactions as to
just miss the Penitentiary.
There has been a wild specula.
ton in lands near Beaumont, ano
in Calcasieu parish, on the sup
position that they contained oil
All the land within several mile:

SO far, only nine oil wells hav'
been discovered, and these ar
within a very narrow district
These wells are very productive
yielding a total of about 10000
barrels a day. However, thi
output will be greatly reduce
after the first "spurt" of fe'
months production, when tn
yield will probably be abor
one-half. This is the history {
ssgushers'' in all oil fields. TIL
production is about equal to til
entire product of Europe, an
more than half as great as all
the other oil fields in the Unite
States combined. The Beaumol
Oil is of much finer quality thu

perior both as fuel and for ILL
minating purposes. If the
wells continue to produce for al
length of time at least half Il
present quantity the price OF
