THE FRIAR LANDS
All Papers Relating to the Controversy
Prepared at the Vatican

The vatican authorities at Rome
lave completed the collection of docu-
ments referring to the Philippine
question for the use of the apostolic
delegate at Manila, and it is conjec-
tured that his appointment is immi-
nent. A complete history of the
negotiations on the subject of the friar
lands is given, including a summary
of the report of Monseigneur Chapelle,
the former papal delegate to the Phil
ippines, and the full text of the notes
exchanged between Governor Taft and
the vatican. These are supplemented
by precise instructions regarding which
secrecy is maintained, though Car
dinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of
state, expresses the hope that the in
structions are so framed as to enable
the delegate to fulfill the pope's
promise to Governor Taft, namely, to
reach solution satisfactory to both
parties.

Ambushed by Negroes

"A telegram was received at Tupelo,
Miss, Thursday by Sheriff Long from
Deputy Sheriff Sam Young atShannon,
asking that the sheriff come immedi-
ately to that place.
A report was current that three
nergoes had been killed and that
James Randolph, one of the best
known citizens of the county, who h ad
assisted in the arrest of the negroes,
had been shot. This report caused
much excitement, and fears were enter
tanned that further trouble might fol-
low.
Later in the day it was ascertained
that Mr.. Randolph had been shot
seriously. The trouble grew out of
the stealing of some corn out of the
field of the Messrs. Eurbanks, four
miles west of Shannon, by negro
named Davenport, who was caught in
the act and made to pour the corn out
of the sack. The following night
Messrs. Eurbanks went to the field to
look out for thieves and on returning
were fired on by about forty negroes,
who were lined up alongside the road.
None of the shots took effect. Messrs.
Randolph, Rogers and Barnett were
deputized to arrest those implicated in
the shooting and followed three
negroes into Chickasaw county.
The negroes barricaded themselves
in barn, armed with shotguns. When
they refused to open the door or come
out, the door was broken in and Ran
dolph struck a match, when the negroes
Immediately opened fire on him, hit
ting him in the head and shoulder.
The negroes ran out and one of them
was struck by the shots fred in the
darkness.
1t was reported that three negroes
have been killed. Deputies brought to
Jail eight negroes. Sheriff Long re-
ports everything quite.

ThOughtlcss, Selfish.

Thoughtlessness of others Is nothing
more than downright selfshness, which
is the curse of humanity. The man
who on leaving an elevated train
pauses at the head of the stairs to
light his cigar is selfish. He incom-
modes all who are behind him. The
woman who insists on passing Up or
down the stairs ahead of the eager
crowd, slowly, Indifferent to the haste
of others, must be an awful thing at
home. He who pauses to tie his shoe
regardless of the interruption of traffic
is brute in his family. l see all these
things dozen times day and wonder
what kind of lives such persons lead In
the family circle. One of the common
evidences of thoughtlessness is seen In
those who stand in the middle Of the
sidewalk to chat while multitudes are
forced to defect or make an offset in
order to pass them. The more see Of
men the greater is my respect for
asses, dogs and mules.-New York

CATARRH

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
