looked as though small sized war
would take place at the depot. Two
tralnps were aboard an incoming
freight train and the conductor re-
ported that they had drawn their guns
and were forcing him to carry them
to Jackson When the train arrived
at the depot Special Agent Girdle-
stone was there and attempted to
arrest them, but they had the adj
vantage of him and with drawn guns
forced him away. They escaped and
were on their way to jackson when
they were apprehended by Deputy
Pickett. In the, meantime citizens
and officers had gathered on the scene
and from the appearance of things one
would have judged that Grants army
was again passing through. The men
were brough to Brandon Monday after
noon and gave their names as Ed
Hank and John O'Rourke. They were
given trial before Justice Robson
and were heavily fined and sentneced
to jail. The fines were subsequently
RENTED and they now stand for four
and seven months imprisonment in
the county jail. 1t is thought by the
officers that they are wanted in Ala
bama, and an effort is being made
now to ascertain what county they are
wanted in.

THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN CO.
The Star will seek to have bill III.
troduced at the next session of the
Legislature appropriating funds to pro
vide free summer trip for all the
editors i'll the state. The newspaper
men, by hammering away during the
twelve months of the year, have sue.
ceeded Ill arousing public spirit that
is adding annually about thirty million
dollars to the assessment rolls, and
since the state refuses to compensate
them by passing a just printing bill,
another and more direct evidence OF
appreciation ought to be forthcoming.
We have no doubt but that Diers,
Birdsall, Bellinger and ST. John will
be found advocating the measure wheI
it goes before the house and senate. -

CATTLE THIEVES.

Word reaches here from Rankin
county that the authorities have fin
ally succeeded in breaking up the gang
of cattle thieves which has infested
the county for the past two or three
years.
The ringleaders of the gang have
been captured and given long sentence
on the county farm, where they will
be kept under close surveillance until
their terms expire.
1t is estimated that thousands of
dollars worth of cattle have been
stolen and run out of the country
during the existence of this gang,
and the farmers are much rejoiced
that it's career has been brought to al
end. Clarion Ledger.

AFRAID OF ENEMIES.

Timid to Venture Out.
Asked That Special Protection He Given
HIM While on Visit 10 Friends In
. Province Distant from
Manila.


Manila, July 7.-As result of the
proclamation of amnesty July the
guard of American soldiers has been
withdrawn from the house where
Aguinaldo lived in Manila and Lieut..
Johnson, Aguinaldo's custodian,
brought the Filipino yesterday to see
Gen. Chaffee. Aguinaldo was told
that he was free to 60 anywhere he
pleased, and Gen. Chaffee asked him
II he had any complaint to make OF
American discourtesy or harshness.
Aguinaldo replied that he had no
such complaint to make. He told
Gen. Chaffee that he was going to
visit friends at his home in Cavite
Viejo, in Cavite province, and in
quired what protection the Ameri-
can authorities would afford him.
He seemed to be afraid to venture
out. Gen. Chaffee replied that Aguin-
aldo would get the same protection
az any other citizen. The release Of
the former Filipino leader has re-
newed speculation as to possible
vengeance upon him by friends OF
Luna and his other enemies. Luna
was q Filipino leader whom Aguin.
aldo caused to be killed in 1899.

New Providence, Iowa, July 7th.-
Little Helen Moon, the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. V. Moon,
of this place, had a narrow escape
from death.
Her mother noticed she seemed to
be very clumsy and complained when
she was rocked. Her limbs and face
were bloated badly.
A doctor was summoned but she
got no better. He said she had Kid
new Trouble in the worst form.
Two other doctors were called in
and they agreed that there was very
little, if any, hope. She was bloated
all over, her eyes being completely
closed and her abdomen bloated un-
til it was purple.
They bought six boxes. OF Dodd's
Kidney Pills and she commenced to
improve at once. She had used nine
boxes before the Dropsy was all
gone. The treatment was continued
and now she is as well as ever.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
the little ones life.

Ter millions is said to be due partly
to inability on the part of the active
promoters to swing so gigantic
financial proposition without power
full support from outside sources,
and partly to the fact that Rockefel-
Ter was already heavily interested
in the Swift packing plants and other
