DERRICK FALLS INTO THE RIVER.

The big derrick on the river below this city, owned by the Kelley Lum- Der Company and employed in raising logs from the river to the saw mill, fell into the river Wednesday morn ing about seven o'clock, breaking one of the stiff legs and much of the iron work. The keel plate gave away while repair work was being done, with the above results.
 The accident will stop work at the Kelley Lumber Company's mill for a week or ten days, until new castings can be secured from the foundry.
 None of the employees were injured, having time to get out of the way be- fore the fall. Carl Teter was in charge of the derrick assisted by G. w.. Burkhart, B. w. Jamison and Frank Hoofman, with Frank Wooten serv- ing as engineer.

Memphis, from which point he will be taken to Guntersville, Marshall Coun- ty, Alabama, where it is alleged that he embedded $3,5OO of the school fund while serving as superintendent of education in that county.
 He was accompanied by Deputy Sheriff J. G. Wright, County Clerk M. M. Dowdy, and the brother-in law who proved instrumental in his arrest, George Whitney, all of Marshall County, Alabama, who served as a guard for the prisoner. Though Kidd is large and muscular fellow, the effects of the wound were apparent. He seemed weak, his actions were slow and his pallid look indicated the suffering he had undergone. Yet every precaution was taken to pre- vent his escape as well as provide for his comfort, cot having been ar ranged in the baggage car, upon which he was carried.
 Dowdy does not think Kidd will be convicted, as he has yet many friends among his party, which is in power, and may perhaps be able to straighten the accounts of his office. Whitney, on the other hand, though related to Kidd by marriage, is pushing the pros ecution and looks forward to the day when he hopes to send Kidd to the penitentiary.

his son here each year, being a man who cherished family ties and had much affection for his children.
 He was a consecrated member of the Methodist church, one whose charity and love were ever present testimonials of the depth and sincerity of his Christian character. Having retired from business, his last years were given up entirely to good works, and it may be said of him, that the kindliness of his disposition and abso- luteness of his faith were enervating and inspiring to those about him.

Isaac Watkins Scarborough, the father of our respected fellow towns man, o. w. Scarborough, died at his home in Kosciusko, Mississippi, Friday morning at o'clock.
 Such was the message received by his son Friday morning. The de- ceased, though sS years of age, was man of remarkable vitality and health, but paralysis had recently brought him near to deaths door, and his death may hardly be considered sudden.

THE PLATONIC LOVE LETTERS OF
 CHARLES DICKENS.

For more than fifty years an En- glishwoman (who is still living) has cherished little sheaf of letters writ ten by Charles Dickens. These charm ing letters show the novelist in a new part-that of the successful matchmaker. They tell the story of another mans courtship and show how the writer spurred a faint heart into winning fair lady.
 They will be printed-for the first time-in the Saturday Evening Post for June 15.

A CHANGE OF PLACES.

The negro by the name of Charlie Arnold, who swore out the warrant against his son-in-law, Offie Station, upon which he was arrested on a charge whose penalty is a term in the penitentiary, now rests in jail for this very act in which he sought to send his kinsman to the pen.
 Offie Station married Arnold's daughter against the latter's wishes and protests, making affidavit as to her age. Her father then swore out a warrant for his arrest. He was caught and locked up, where he has remained until the trial Thursday be- fore Justice Martin, when he was dis charged.
 The prosecuting witness, the girls father, however, did not get off so easily, being fined $1O and costs, which he is now serving out in the local jail.

WILLIAM D. BROWN.
One of Jackson County's Oldest and Best Known Settlers Succumbs to Death at Ripe Age
 on Monday Evening.

Those men, the story of whose lives narrates the earlier history of Jackson county, are one by one gathered unto their fathers, until the death of the old settler becomes an event upon which the whole community and people look with unusual sadness and deeper re- gret than is attached to the demise of another.
 Such is the public feeling in the death of William D. Brown, one of the land marks in the early settlement of this county, who passed away at 10:15 o'clock Monday evening, June 10, 1901, aged 69 years, 8 months and 7 days. The deceased had for two years been an invalid, with varying health, that gave promise of extended years only to discourage in the ills of re- lapse. For the past three months, he had been confined to his bed except for few days and the end came grad ually as his strength and vitality ebb- ed away, the doctors pronouncing his death to be due to sorosis of the liver. In his last hours, he was surrounded by his friends, yet his suffering was intense and very painful to behold.
 The funeral services were held at the St. Paul's Episcopal church at p. m. Tuesday, conducted by Rev. Chas. D. Lafferty, the Masons taking in charge the body at the residence and observing the rites of the order at the grave in Walnut Grove Cemetery. LIFE OF THE MAN.
 1 William D. Brown was born in Shawnee Town, Illinois, October 8, 1881, but when very young man moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where his education was completed. It was here that he first engaged in business but in 1849 moved to this state, locat- ing in the old town of Jacksonport in 1S49. Under the ti15p pame of ". D. Brown & Co.,, of which he was the principal stock holder, he again took up the mercantile business. His ven- ture proved very successful, as he ac- cumulated one of the largest fortunes in the county at that time. He be- came man of influence and broad cquaintanceship coming within a very few votes of being elected sher- if over popular opponent.
 He served as a cOmmissary in the Confederate army and proved him. self reliable and brave soldier. He became a member of the Masonic or der at the age of 21 and was greatly beloved by the members of this fra ternity.
 When Newport succeeded Jackson port as the county's commercial cen- ter and county seat, he moved to this city where he was again in business for several years and at length re- tired to less active life.
 The deceased had joined the Epis- copal church over year ago, being confirmed by Bishop Brown.
 In 1888, he was married to Miss Mary Ellen Hudson and after her death in 1875, he was later married to Mrs. Josephine E. Cole, who survives him, though he left no children.
 One of the best things that can be said of any man and this cannot be too justly attributed him, was that his heart was big and noble, responding to the needs and misfortunes of his fellowmen. Generous to a fault, his overfiowing good will and benevo- lence have reared him monuments in the hearts of all who knew him.

A Curious Superstition This.

Ever since the assassination Of King
Humbert hundreds Of Italians have
been trying to win prizes in the nation
al lottery by playing those numbers
which correspond with his age. These
numbers are Sc, 10 and 40, the King
having lived for Sc years, 10 hours and
40 minutes. If these three numbers
should win the player would receive
425O times the amount Of his stake.
Some unusually optimistic gamblers
have tried to win even more than this
by playing q fourth number (73), which
is the symbol of regicide. If this
combination, Sc, 10, 40 and Is, were to-
win the Government would have to
pay 10000 times the amount of the
stake.
The last drawing was held in Milan
a few days ago. and, singularly
enough, the winning numbers were
55, 10, 4s, and 72. These came pretty
close to the mark, and as result Ital-
ian gamblers are more determined
than ever to keep on playing their IA
vorite combination until 1t brings
them good fortune.-New York Herald.

DESPERATE CASE OF PERCIVAL.


Percival felt that the world was
come to an end for him and he was
trying to convince himself that he
didn't care continental If it was. He
sat in a chair that seemed incompati-
BILE with any sort of discomfort. his
pipe was between his teeth and he had
been notified Of raise in his salary
that very week; nevertheless the
the chair could not hold him in its
padded embrace. and he got up and
paced about the room in the,regulation
style of the Gagged panther; his pipe
had gone out long ago. rs.a as for the
salary, what to him was salary.
He felt in the breast pocket of his
coat and drew out a letter. or rather
a note. which he read with a scowl
corrugating his brow Then with a
succession of angry jerks, he tore it
across and across and dropped the
pieces, fluttering on the hearth. A
moment later he gathered the pieces
in a heap, and, striking match. set
fire to them. AS the flame gradually
died out from the rustling tinder
thought seemed to strike him and he
felt in his breast pocket again. This
time he took out q pocket book and
extracted small package wrapped in
tissue paper from special compart-
ment; this also he laid on the hearth,
and, with the same expression of an
cry determination on his face. struck
another match and held 1t to the
paper 1t did not burn as freely as
the other for a minute. but suddenly
it flared up so that he had to start
back to avoid the flame. The next in
stant there was nothing on the hearth
but ashes and a particularly unpleas-
ant ,smcl! permeated the room.
Percival drew deep breath and re-
NAMED staring moodily at the black
ened fragments on the hearth for sew
eral minutes. Then, with what seemed
to be an effort. he rose and began to
whistle. What did it matter. after
all? What did anything matter? No
girl was worth a moments worry.
In accordance with this decision he
sat down again and struck third
match with which he lighted his pipe.
He puffed away with preternatural
calm for a little while and then took
the evening paper from the table and
turned to the theatrical advertise
ments.
'I might as well enjoy myself" he
said. That's probably what she's
doing. I'll simply devote the rest of
my existence to having a good time.
