Just at present Jackson is the most
favored city in the state. An evange-
list on the Sam Jones order is over
there giving the people some hot
stuff, accompanied by some good adj
vice, and while he is preaching and
the people are rubbering their necHs
to catch every word some one is out
with sausages loaded with poison
which he is feeding to the poor dogs
of the city. AS the preacher may
make few converts to Christianity
and the dog-killer will thin out the
dogs to a stand and then thin out the
stand, Jackson may consider that
fortune has smiled upon 1t in two
large, unbroken doses. Now if some
one would get up a scheme to rid the
city of the loafers it would be the
happiest city on earth.

PETITION FOR PARDON.

To his Excellency, Governor A. II. Lon
gino, Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi; ...........-,.,....
We, the undersigned citizens of Perry
county, Mississippi, and vicinity, re-
specially petition your excellency to
pardon Isham 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 sentences to term of
five years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set ont 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 conviction
would have been permitted to stand;
Third. We believe, as 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.

the man came down and remarked,

party recapture the next house it is

There has been another explosion
at Meridian. The other day it was
stated that an insurance cOmpa-
nv there had taken out insurance on
thirty thousand bales of cotton, and
the Impression attempted to be left
was that the cotton handlers would
have no trouble in having the cotton
insured, even if the valued policy
clause was never repealed. 1t APP
pears now that some have Investigat-
ed the case at Meridian and find not
a particle of truth in the report, ex-
cept that there are some foreign
companies, by no means able to
handle such great bulk of cotton,
are willing to write policies on some
cotton. When a prop is knocked out
from under a false report it hits the
ground mighty hard.

The board of supervisors of this
county deserves credit for two good
things it has done lately. 1t levied
tax of one and one-half mills for
school purposes in order to prolong
the rural schools a few months long
er. For this it deserves the highest
commentator. And then it raised
the price of syndicate lands, thus
putting into the treasury thousands
of dollars heretofore lost to the coun-
ty. But the raise was not high
enough, being about seven or eight
dollars per acre when not an acre of
it could be purchased for less than
fifteen. But the board did we'll in
the raise and may see them a few
dollars better at the next assessment.

1t is learned that there was a dis
astrOus fire at StOnewall Yesterday,
almost completely destroying the
cotton mill at that place and doing
damages to the amount of $l25,O0O.
The fire was fought for two hours or
longer, eight streams of water being
thrown on it at the same time, but
one of the pumps broke when the
fire had full sway. 1t is stated that
the loss is covered by insurance and
that the mill will be rebuilt at once.

Senator James X. Jones is now out
as a prophet. He thinks the demo-
Gratis will make large gains and may
have control of the next congress.
The outlook is little bright
brighter than it has been since Will
lam ]. Bryan led the party astray
with Mr.. Jones as his first lieutenant.
Mr.. Jones attributes the success of
the democratic party, if success
comes, to the many strikes and other
disturbances that have occurred in
the country the past year, but the
truth is the coming together of the
democratic party, is as suggested by
Cleveland, and the strikes willFhave
but little to do with it. 1t matters
not who is president there will be
strikes.

1t now appears that the governor
will not take any action regarding
the call for a special session of the
legislature to repeal the valued policy
clause of the insurance law owing to
the fact that he is too nnwell to at
tend to any business. In the mean
time the Clarion-Ledger and perhaps
one or two other papers are putting
IN good time in throwing cold water
on the proposition to call the legisla-
ture together in special session.
This reminds us that the Clarion
Ledger says that papers which favor
the calling of the session are
enemies of the governor and their
only desire is to embarrass him by
causing him to make a grand mistake.
We have no idea that single paper
in the state except the Clarion-Led-
ger thought of such a thing. That
paper certainly has poor opinion of

CHARGE AGAINST DETECTIVES.


In a suit fled yesterday by Kate M. and
Frank r. Stuard, husband and wife,
against Robert d. Hobbs. Harvey G. Al
sam, and the wives OF these two men, the
PLAINTIFF alleges that she decided property
In this county to the defendants
under misrepresentation made by
them. The deciding OF the property.
on which she places a value of $500,
was as compensation for the alleged serv-
ices OF Hobbs and Alsam, private ,detec-
tives, IN locating Frank r. Stuard, in
Pueblo Col, where he had gone after leav-
ing his wife in this city. Mrs Stuard in
her paragraph of the complaint alleges
that on Sept. Is she, while In poor physi-
cal condition due to injuries received a
short time before in street car accident,
employed. the defendants TO go after her
husband in Colorado, where she learned
that he was living with another woman.
In payment for this service and securing
for her funds which Stuard, she alleges,
took with him when he left Indianapolis,
she decided the property to them. Hobbs
and Alsam found Stuard In Pueblo, Col,
and brought him to St. Louis. No., where.
according TO the complaint, he was by
threats OF punishment on his return to
Indianapolis, coerced into signing the deed
also, thereby making it legal
Stuard states in his complaint that in
addition to getting him to sign the deed
by these threats they advised him not to
return to Indianapolis, as his trial would
surely result in heavy punishment for his
alleged criminality. He joins with his wife
I'm asking that the deed be set aside as
illegally secured, and that the defendants
be compelled to pay the costs Of the suit.

REPAIR OF THE VIADUCT
1T Is SAID THE UNION RAILWAY
COMPANY WILL DO 1T.
The Approval of President McCrea Is
Now Awaited-Park Board Meet
ing-Nunicipal Affairs.

The Virginia-avenue viaduct will be re-
paired by the Indianapolis Union Railway
Company as soon as the approval Of Presi-
dent James McCrea, whose headquarters
are in Pittsburg. can be secured. The city
has been unofficially notified by counsel for
the road that the repair Of the viaduct is
contingent on President McCreas consent,
and that the recommendation OF that de-
partment to him will be to agree to the
city's demand rather than raise the Ques-
ton of right in the matter.
The Union Railway Company is repre-
scented by Baker & Daniels as attorneys,
and it is understood that this firm has in
formed the city attorney that the road will
make the repairs asked and would like to
have the city engineer instructed to pre-
pare the specifications of the repairs de-
manded by the city. They do not admit
the duty or the railway company TO keep
the viaduct in condition nor do they in
tend that this acquiescence to the citys
request shall be taken as a precedent in
the matter, and they still maintain that
a city ordinance cannot legally make the
company responsible for the care Of the
viaduct
When President McCrea's approval is
secured. and 1t is thought that he has left
the matter entirely in the hands of the To-
cal officials of the road and its legal repre-
sentatives, the railway will be ready to pro-
coed with the work. 1t is expected that
within two weeks the specifications of the
for strengthening the viaduct and the re-
pair of the ratings and walks on it, will
be completed and work on the bridge will
commence shortly afterward.
