son, and will at once put down a
number of experimental wells We
will put down six-inch prospect
wells, going down as deep as we can,
or until we find what we are looking
for. We think this is the most
economical method, and have adopted
it on the advice of some of the best
experts in the country, who have been
looking at our property for US. There
is every Indication of oil there, and we
are going to put in a number of these
prospect wells so as to make thor
ough test of the whole field.
The Hammond well, which is going
down nicely, has shown very encour-
aging Indications Gas has been
struck in several pockets, and there is
every indication that oil will De found.
They have had hard time with their
drilling, on account of unexpected OBJ
stacl"s, but every foot has made it
more apparent that they have oil, and
they are now more sanguine than
ever."-Ner orleans Picdyune, oct.

The Woman's Journal states that
Roosevelt is an out-spoken woman suf-
fragist. 1t is quite natural for a man
with wife like Mrs. Roosevelt, to ad
vocate anything women inaugurate or
follow Mrs. Roosevelt personally at
tends her own babies, makes the family
purchases and is a housewife or taste
and comfortable suggestveness. She
seems to be one of the all ~omprehen-
sive and well developed women who
can reign with dignity in the drawing

ure, descend to the kitchen and its de-
maDds.

TIE BOGUE CHITTO AFFAIR,
Three Of the Men Implicated Arrested
and Released on Bond.

heitastu on
BoGUE CHITTo, MISS, Oct. 12-James
Hodges, young man residing in the
country, four miles southwest of town,
was arraigned in the Mayors court here
to-day on a charge of being drunk and
dsorierly aud using profane language
on The streets, which act was committed
during last February. The court first
imposed fine Of 500 and thirty days
on the county farm, but later RENTED
same to $40 and costs. The reason for
such an unprecedented reduction has
not been learned.
Young Hodges was one of the many
implicated in last Saturday nights
street riot, during which four men we're
slightly wounded. During the ARRAY
Hodges was arrested and lodged In
Jail on the old February charge, and
subsequently released under bond to
appear to-day for trial. After the old
score had been settled, Marshal Geo.
H. Vernon made affidavit charging
Hodges and Jacob and Joseph Moak
with carrying concealed weapons, dis
charging firearms in the corporate
limits and disturbing the peace on
last Saturday night. All three of the
men promptly gave bond for their APP
pearance Thursday, Oct. 81. Jacob
Moak was one of the four men receiy-
ing wound during the fight, and he
with his brother, Joseph, were bonds
men for the appearance of Hodges for
trial o-day.-Tfnes Democrat Special.

Sarah Bernhardt has reduced the
schedule ranging from 70 to 10 cents.
The gifted actress doubtless needs, in
her declining years, the support Of very
large audiences, upon which the sue
cessful performance of az actor otter
depends: and, regardless of reportorial
adulation and newspaper compliment,
Sarah is no longer girl, and old age
can never be as attractive as youth.

COLUMBIA CHOSEN.

NEW YORK, September 5.-The Col
umbia has been chosen to defend the
Americas cup. For the first time one
yacht will defend the trophy for a sec
ond time. The American yacht is a
slight favorite in the betting.
The announcement of the Columbia S
selection was well received by yachts
men in the States The first interna-
tional race takes place next Saturday
off Sandy Hook.
Upton when told of the selection said
that all he wanted was to sail the
Shamrock ii against the fastest boat
in America. The crew of the Shamrock
argue that their boat was designed to
beat one ten minutes faster than the
Columbia, and so they can surely beat
her with the Shamrock II.
A letter Of protest signed by fifty
American citizens has been sent to the
New York Yacht club protesting
against the exclusion of the Independ-
ence from the trial races and threaten
ing, If the Shamrock II wins, to ask
an injunction from the United States
Court to prevent the club from turn
ing over the cup to Sir Thomas Lip

DELAYED THE CLAUDINE,

The Claudine was brought back to the
wharf after casting loose yesterday af-
ternoon owing to the failure of a MEM
Der of the fair sex to remember that
she intended to merely see her friends
off and not become an involuntary pas
senger. The delay occasioned a wait OF
some minutes after schedule time. The
steamer was tied up again to the
wharf and the port gangway lowered
down which the lady tripped as uncon-
cernedly as if it were an every day oc-
currence to order a boat back to her
wharf. Captain Parker said little but
possibly thought more.

course indicated he will make a CON-
mendable effort to rule his great nation
wisely.
Within the compass of a few lines, he
alludes appropriately to the sorrowful
circumstances which make the occasion,
to his purpose to honor his mothers

fully support the constitution in the
strictest sense, and to labor "for the
good and amelioration of my people"
He announces the royal name by which
he chooses to be known, and, In connec-

bis great and wise father" always to
be remembered as "Albert the Good"
Then comes an expression of his trust In

volve upon me by inheritance, and to
which | am determined to devote my
whole strength during the remainder of
