TAKES TO TIE " GODS
President n Hunting Garb
Goes After Bear.
A LONG RIDE ON HORSEBACK.
Camp From Which a Sunrise start
Was to Be Elade Located Fifteen
Miles In the Wider

SMEDTS, Miss, Nov. 14.-President
Roosevelt and his party arrived here
shortly before O'Clock yesterday aft
erno0n and in their hunting toys start
ed soon afterward for the camp on
the Little SunfioWer river. As the
distance is about fifteen miles and the
trail is rough and bad the chances are
that it was after dark before they
reached the camp.
Smedes is a siding on the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railway, where cot
ton is loaded from the big Smedes
plantations. A plantation store and
! the residence of one Of the managers
are the only structures, except negro
cabins, in sight. Work on the neigh
boring plantations was suspended in
the afternoon, and several hundred
negroes We're at the siding when the
train stopped. Most Of the men sat on
the cotton bales, but the black mann
mics and pickaninnies stood along the
track. They showed their white teeth
in broad grins, but made no other
demonstration, as the president
stepped from the train. He was clad
in hunting costume. riding trousers,
shirt, corduroy coat and wore brown
SLOUGH hat. Around his waist was
buckled his cartridge belt, and at his
side hung his ivory handled hunting
knife
The other members of the party also
wore hunting suits. While the guns,
blankets and other small baggage were
being loaded into four mule wagon
the president chatted with the manager
of the Smede estate and two ladies who
had come especially to greet him.
When all was in readiness, the mem
bers Of the party, except Mr.. Fish and
Mr.. Dickinson, mounted small, why,
tough looking horses and dashed away
for the woods at a breakneck canter.
The presidents mount was a black
horse He did not look spirited, but it
was explained that he was just the
sort of animal needed to force way
through the dense underground. Mr..
Fish and Mr.. Dickinson followed the
others in a blackboard drawn by two
mules.
The start out was scheduled for day
light this morning. Paths have been
cut through the underground to be
used as cut offs to the river crossing
and on these stations the members of
the party, except tffe president, will be
stationed.
The president and his guides will fol
low the hounds through the under
growth in order to be at hand if bear
is brought to bay. 1t will be powerful

dict the president will lose at least five
pounds in the. next five days. I rode

Mr.. Mangum says the black bears
hereabouts weigh from 300 to 600
pounds. I'VE have set of scales at
the camp" said he, 'sand the beasts will

President GoHnpers Opens Conven"
ton at New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 14-Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers at the opening
of the American Federation of Labor
delivered an imprisoned warning to
the members of the organization that
the immediate future of trade and Ia
Dor assemblies was seriously endan-
gered by the conflicting claims of juris-
diction made by different bodies. I'm
less such things were approached in
calmness and handled with modera-
ton, he declared, the labor organiza-
tons Of the country soon would be in
volved in a conflict which by compari-
son would dwarf all the struggles in
which labor organizations have been
engaged thus far. The matter unless
checked, he asserted, would come to a
point where laboring men would fight
with laboring men from behind barri-
cades in the manner in which men deal
with their mortal foes.
His warning of danger and his coun-
sells of peace and moderation met with
a hearty response from the assembled
delegates, and wild applause greeted
the speaker as he closed that portion
of his annual address in which he had
pointed out the perils which in his
opinion will surely come unless meth
DDS are altered and altered soon.
In the course of his address Presi-
dent Gompers declared that it was
amazing to note tse ignorance among
SO called educated people regarding
the aims and objects of the organiza-
ton. '.No man who as an educator"
said President Gompers, poses as. a
strike breaker is fit for the position he
holds. Compared to such man Bene-
dict Arnold was a martyr and Judas
Iscariot a saint
The first day of the convention, aside
from the address of President Comp
ers, was not of great interest to out
siders, and many delegates found it
fatiguing
The morning session was occupied
with addresses of welcome and re
sponses and the report of the commit
tee on credentials. The afternoon was
consumed by the address Of President
Gompers, which occupied him for tive
hours and twenty minutes of rapid
reading. The reports of other officers
required two additional hours,

BUFFALO, Nov. 14-Mrs. Helen
Costello of Buffalo has been rescued
from the brink Of the American falls
by employees of the state reservation.
Yesterday afternoon word was re
ceived at the reservation Office that a
woman had attempted to commit sui
tide and was hoasing down stream to-
ward the falls.
Superintendent Perry secured a
quantity of rope and hurried to the
bridge which connects Green island
with Goat island The woman was
seen clinging to a submerged log at a
point few feet below the bridge. A
moose was fitted about the body Of
John Marshall, a reservation employee,
and he was lowered into the rushing
waters. He succeeded in reaching the
Woman's side and placed a rope about
her waist. eThe two were then slowly
hauled to the stone abutment of the
bridge. A ladder was lowered, and
the woman was landed safely.
Mrs. Costello is very weak firm ex-
posture, but the hospital physicians say
she will recover. Domestic troubles
caused the woman to seek death.

Smashed!

We told our readers two weeks ago
about a notable arrest at the depot.
Subsequent developments show that it
consisted of fifty one bottles of liquor,
and we are glad now to record the fact
that these q. O. D. gentlemen were
taken and in the presence of Mayor
Derry, Marshal Bass, Constable Lucas
and Justice Scott, were smashed, and
the contents allowed to run out upon
the cold ground instead of into the less
appropriate receptacle for which it was
originally intended.
The general claim agent of the Elk.
press Company put in an appearance
informally at the office of Mayor Derry,
after the arrest and before the smashing
and claimed that if he chose to, fight the
case he could win on the Inter State
Commerce law. Be that as it may, he
chose to make no formal appearance,
and the case went by default, and the
liquor into the snow. So may it con-
tinue to be.-Lamoni Patriot.
