QUICKER TIME TO ST. LOUIS.
Inauguration of Dining Car Service,
la Carte on Mobile And
Ohio Railroad.

Commencing Sunday, August 81,
the Mobile and Ohio will shorten its
time tatween New Orleans and st.
Louis, via Meridian.
The "St Louis Flyer leaving New
Orleans at 9:10 a. m, will arrive In st.
Louis Union Station, the following
morning at Z :35, making the run in %
hours and 26 minutes.
The st. Louis Special" will make the
same time as heretofore, leaving at 1880
p. N. and arriving in st. Louis Union
Station the following evening at 7:04,
carrying through sleeping car to St.
Louis without change. Both of these
ing railroads, for points north, east and
west, without change of depot.
Sunday, August 81, will also be the
inauguration of dining car service, a la
carte, on the Mobile and Ohio. AL.
meals will be served in these cars, doing
away with the inconvenience of eating
stations, and doing away with the an
cient custom of eating in haste. Pas
sepgers will pay for what they order
and will not be compelled to take a
whole meal in o1der TO get a cup OF
coffee,
These dining cars are of the very
latest pattern, no expense having been
spared to make them the handsomest in
the land. Electric lights and electric
fans, run by current generated by the
axle of the car while in motion, surplus
power being stored to supply current
when cars are stopped. Decorations,
including palms. etc, are excellent.
Large windows, giving patrons unob-
structed view of scenery, while enjoying
their repast. The cuisine will excel that
of the Mobile and Ohio's famous eating
house at Artesla, which gained the rep
utation of giving the finest service in the
world for the money. They will be
stocked with the very best that the mar
ket affords. which will be served at a
nominal cost to patrons, it being the in
tention of the management that these
car shall be an advertisement and not
a money making medium. These cars
will serve all meals on north and south
bound trains.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

To his Excellency, Governor A. H. Lon
gino, Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi:
We, the undersigned citizens of Perry
county, Mississippi, and vicinity, re-
spectfully petition your excellency to
pardon lsham Boothe, convicted of
arson at the October. 1901, term of the
circuit court of the second judicial dis
trict of the county of Perry, state of
Mississippi, and sentenced to a term of
FIVE years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set out below:
First. Because his conviction rests
almost entirely upon circumstantial
evidence of an indefinite. unreliable and
misleading character, upon which we do
not believe conviction should be al
lowed to stand;
Second. The principal state witness,
Will Lang, is wholly unreliable and
unworthy of belief, and but for his evil
dence, we do not believe a conviction
would have been permitted to stand
Third. We believe, rs a matter of
fact, that the said defendant is innocent
of said charge and was enormously con-
victed, because of testimony unworthy
of belief (not criticislng court ur jury):
and
Fourth. We believe, that although
the defendant were guilty, the ends of
Justice have been met,-that he is re
formed and will make a law-abiding
citizen from this time forward; and we
believe his record in the penitentiary
will confederate this view.

One of the Jackson correspondents
strongly hints that In view of the fact
of the exceedingly small vote cast in
the recent primaries in the congress
siOnal districts that there should be
another party pitted against the
democratic party of about equal
strength, to show the voters of the
democratic party the Importance of
turning out and voting the strength
of the party. The Progress is not
particular about seeing another
party pitted against the democratic
party, but at the same time it would
be delighted to see it very badly
frightened for few years. 1t might
have the effect of learning it great
deal more sense than 1t has and max e
the legislature more careful about
the enactment of laws that are in
tended to fit candidates and not the
common people, the new primary
being one of them. There is certainly

ample, receiving 1000 votes less than
his opponent beats him twice the

An Illinois man shot his wife dead
because of jealousy and the fact that
he was drunk. Then he took large
dose of poison and while the cOnsta-
BILE was fleeing with him to keep a
mob from lynching him he died.
That is the newspaper report. but
can hardly be true, because up in IL
linOis the people claim that lynch
law is never resorted to. Perhaps
the supposed lynchers were pursuing
the man to give him some medicine
which would counterfeit the effects
of the poison. The south, you know,
is the only section where lynch law
prevails.

PRIMARY OR ELECTION?

II WnaC the BILOXI Herald says In
the following Is the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, then
after all 1T seems that the primary
law is nothing but a farce and no
better than the convention, which is
just as likely to elect a dark horse
as a white horse to office. The
Progress has never seen the
full returns. We really do not
know that the votes were ever count
ed by the district executive commit
tee. The committee may have de-
clared that Bowers was elected with
out going to the trouble to make a
count, as it did not go to the trouble
to give the result of the count a
general publication. But let it be
conceded that everything was
straight, still it shows that the prI-
mary law is nothing more than a
convention and that a convention is
nothing more than a farce. But the
Herald speaks and let the public
listen:
The returns of the recent congress
sional primary election, as canvassed
by the executive committee, demon
strate cOnclusively that minority
candidate has received the nomina-
ton, and that the voice of the MAORI
ty has been stiffied.
1851 votes send Bowers to congress
1908 votes cut no figure in the
result!
What food for reflection!
Aye, and the next legislature
should reflect, and at its next session
so amend the present law that, here
after, no candidate, from governor
down, should ever enjoy the emOlu-
ments of office, until a majority vote
should permit him to do so.
These figures speak volumes.
The 1851 votes cast for Bowers
gave him seventeen electoral votes.
The 1869 votes cast for Hardy and
Barber gave them nine electoral
votes. Barber, though the last man
in the race, receiving l175 votes gets
five electoral votes, and Hardy with
his 1894 votes gets four electoral
votes.
Suppose that the law had provided
that each candidate should receive
his pro rata of the electoral vote,
based upon the number of votes cast
for him, what would have been the
result? A dead lock. Then, finding
himself the last man in the race, Mr..
Barber could have thrown his entire
strength to Hardy and Hardy today
would have been the winner. And
very justly so, as he would have been
the choice of the majority of the peO-
pie of the district.
tits very plain now why the Noel
bill received such endorsement. The
wire-puller foresaw the result.
When Stockdale, Martin, Govan
and Denny ran for congress, some
years ago, Stockdale led in the con-
ventlon. He occupied the same rel
alive position toward the other can
didates as Bowers did toward his OPP
ponents. Finding it impossible to
receive the nomination his strength
went to Denny, and Denny secured
the plum.
An analysis of the vote will show
that Denny secured majority in the
convention and consequently, mag
jority of the votes of the people who
sent their accredited delegates to
Pass Christian, to use their best en-
deavors to reflect their wishes.

dates be compelled to face the same

TENNIS BLOUSE.

scarcely be relied upon AS timepieces,
but they are very pretty and what the
Parisiennes much prefer-very odd.
Just at present outing gowns are
the only topics discussed at fashionable
ladies' tailor establishments. A shep-
herds check gown with buckhorn but
tons was last week designed by IA
nous tailor for a lady of royal birth
whose fad is fishing. The skirt was
perfectly plain, and over it was worn
a short coat rounded in front and hav-
ing a very modest collar and revers.
A pocket held down by three buckhorn
buttons was fitted over each hip.
Women whose means are limited
have, with the adoption of the outing
blouse, solved the question of how for
a small outlay to be suitably clad out
doors. Green and blue is a startling
combination in a new yachting waist.
The blue, violet shade, is combined
with foliage green. Blue forms the
body and appears in a narrow band
upon the white sailor collar. The stock

green, and a green ribbon is drawn in
and out through the cloth and ties in
a loose bow just below the pointed
front of the color. The cuffs and cir
die are, of course, green. Although
when described the combination does
