A LEAD PIPE CIHCH
Young Democrats Capture the Last
 Municipal Breastworks.
ssG:|.

The most closely contested election ever held by the Phoeni:, fire depart ment occurred last night at the an nual meeting for the selection Of new officers The contest Was friendly. though vigorous. and aWakeued more interest both inside and outside the departmen. than the late election on the adoption of new city charter.
 The reason for this was that the fire department has hitherto been con ,idereI strictly non partisan as an organ anization. politics having no iuiiu- enCe in the selection of officers. But as the Young Mems Democratic club. through the circumstances Of the last city election. became part and parcel of the city administration. il was deemed advisable by the mana gers to turn the department over to that or gani::a ton. so the 2d1GiuiStratiun could have free rein in every branch of the municipal service. They have now captUred the last breastWurk and the only satisfaction tine defeated party has is the Knowledge that the higher the balloon asceHds, the fur ther F will have to drop when the hot air is exhausted. But last nights scrap was a pretty one. and the boys who held the short end of the stick were in at the finish. though they could not score.
 Tn the absence of the president mad vice president. Secretary T.. <. Russell called the meeting to order and suS- gested the election of a president pro tenn. That plan was evidently under stood before and the candidates were at once placed in nomination, ". F. Lcdnt for the Stokoe men and William Evans for the Fromm partE. IL was understood that il WAS to be q fight from the start. and the vote for this temporary officer was considered a test. The votes were taken by roll call, the members advancing and cast ing their ballots in the box. as there were many present not members of the department. During the counting the two candidates ran evenly. one would be two or three ahead and then the other. but the final result was: Lount ~. Evans A. blank l, Fromm |. show ing Lount to have a majority of l vote.

1t will cause a loss of tens of mil

American life insurance companies,
however. will suffer no loss, because,

ular change had occurred. but that
the king was maintaining the i'm
proyement i'm his condition.
The following statement was made
on the highest medical authority:
Until the tubes now draining the
cavity Of the abscess have been with
drawn it will be impossible to feel
certain that the king viii pun
through. What his physicians have
now to fear is that peritonitis or
hemorrhage may supervene. There
must always be this danger in such
cases. Again, it is a fact that an
abscess due to perityphlitis may have
a fatal issue without any warning
symptoms. Nh the indications are
often masked until the post mortem,
and there are many cases on record
where the disease was only discov-
cred after death from an eX%traneous
cause, such as an accident. At any
rate. the kings grave illness must
invalid him for a long time"

The ~severest hail storm ever seen
in that section visited Ripley on
Wednesday of last week. For TWEEN
ty minutes stones ranging from the
size of a buckshot to two inches IN
diameter fell as thick as ordinary
raindrops. Blown by a very strong
wind from the northwest, window
panes were broken on western ex-
posures, holes were knocked IN tin
roofs, limbs we're broken from trees,
corn, cotton and growing vegetables
we're broken or literally torn into
shreds, and many chickens and birds
were killed. For a few minutes
those who witnessed the cyclone that
passed through that section less than
two years ago feared a repetition OF
that awful experience. Fortunately
the track of the storm was not more
than two miles in width, but great
damage was done those who hap
pened to be in its path.

Insurance Law Revisions.

The Mississippi Compress Asso-
citation has opened the campaign for
an extra session of the Legislature
in order to obtain some remedial
legislation in the insurance ques-
ton. President Newberger has ad-
dressed a letter to the Governor IN
behalf of the thirty-five congresses
represented, urging him to convene
the Legislature in extra session and
to urge upon them the Importance
of repeating the valued policy law
in so far, at least, as 1t apples to
cotton. In his communication Pres
ident Newberger states that II the
valued policy law continues in force
it will not be practicable to get In
surance on cotton in Mississippi un-
der the recent decision of the SUI
preme Court, and that the cottor
will therefore be driven into Other
States to get insurance.

London. June 25.-The Time says;
London, June 25.-The Timesays;
According to Sir Frederick Treves,
who performed the operation on King
Edward, and himself one of the great

abdominal troubles, the chances Of
death in cases of perityphilitiS, where

Edward, are about one in three.
Sir Frederick Treves also declares
that the period when death is most
likely to ccur, if at all, is from the
fifth to the eighth day.
Judging from the opinion of this
distinguished physician, it may be
assumed that either the kings CON

State Archivist Rowland has I'M
earthed a record which he believes
to be of more historical interest and
value than anything he has yet res
directed from the dust in the ar
chives Of the old Capitol building.
This is a volume of letters of Gov.
William G. G. Claiborne, Governor
of the Territory of Orleans, the
Louisiana Purchase, written during
the year 1905. The letters are in a
bound volume, and the larger part
of them are in the handwriting of
Gov. Claiborne himself. They be-
gin on May 4, 1906, and end Feb
ruary Is, 1906. In the volume are
twenty letters to President Thomas
Jefferson, fifty to Secretary of State
Madison, ten or twelve to Albert
Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury
fifteen to Henry Dearborn, Secre-
tary of War, and several to Gen.
James Wilkerson, commander-in-
chief of the United States army,
and one of the Louisiana Purchase
commissioners, who, with Gov. Clai-
borne, received the Territory. These
letters, Mr.. Rowland states, are the
best historical data of the times tc
be had anywhere, as their testimony
is in the handwriting Of Gov. Clai-
borne and is unimpeachable. How
the volume came to be in the ar
chives of Mississippi is not known
since it is strictly a Louisiana docu
ment.
