THE REPORT
OF THE REGISTER OF THE GOVERNMENT
LAND OFFICE
Shows That Large Number of Acres OF
Land Sold to June.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Oct. 30.-The report of
Hon. f. W. Collins, registrar of the
government land office for Mississippi,
shows that sixteen thousand acres of
government land have been sold in
this state since the first of June, and
a large number OF homestead entries
and offers to purchase are now on file
awaiting approval. The records of
the office show that only about 130, 900
acres are left for sale, and Senator
McLaurin has bill pending in con-
gress providing for the donation of
these lands to the state for the use of
common school fund, and which will
probably be passed during the coming
session. This will practically termi-
nate the uselessness of the Office, SO
far as entries are concerned, but it is
not likely that it will be abolished by
the government for many years TO
come, owing to the numerous compli-
cations that would be likely to arise.

THAD. B. HAMPTON, THE APPOINTEE
Will Then Take Charge and Mr..
Carlisle Will Retire.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Oct, 30.-Hon. Thad B.
hampton, the newly appointed state
treasurer of Mississippi, will file his
official bond in the sum Of $3.50, 600
and take charge of the Office Saturday
morning. Heretofore the treasurer S
bond has been in the sum of 800, 600,
with personal surety permitted, but
at the last session the legislature in
creased the bond to $3.50, 900 to be
made in a guaranty company, and pro-
vided that the state should pay the
premium thereon.
1t has just leaked out that Governor
Longino was apprised in advance of
Mr.. Carlisle's forthcoming resigna-
tion, and he offered the place to two
other persons before Mr.. hampton
was selected for the honor. The first
tender was made to Col. A. E. Jen-
nings, of Water Valley, inspector of
ordnance on the governors staff, and
prominent merchant of that section
of the state. The second tender was
to W. D. Porter, cashier Of the Far
mer's and Merchants Bank at Oxford,
who likewise declined it, neither of
the two gentlemen desiring to take
such tremendous risk in return for q
small amount of honor and salary of
81, 500 per year.
The Office of treasurer is generally
looked upon throughout Mississippi as
having a "hoodoO' attachment, q
view that is somewhat substantiated
by the fact that the state has ha6
three treasurers in three years, and
the Office has been productive of more
scandals and sensations than any Other
Office in the state.

He Hit It Right.
B. PERKIN.

A few weeks ago when the Progress
said that Thos. NJ. Ferguson, the Real
Estate Agent, was quietly building a
town at Bassfield, Covington county,
that impressed the public as an un-
usual wav to build a town, but since
we have learned more of his methods,
we see where he was right. AS he had
located the town where the people in
the surrounding conntry wanted it.
and as soon as the lots were pat on the
market, the homefolks bought and
paid for hundred or more, and at once
began building houses.
| Bassfield is only three weeks old and
we are reliably informed quite q nice
lot of houses are being built, one saw
mill and two turpentips distilleries
have been located: lots have been
donated for the Baptist, Methodist and
Catholic churches each, also desir
able lot for public school building
and considerable money pledged to the
building of a school house. So after
all, it seems that Ferguson knows how
to build town. oct29tf

SUPREME COURT
HAS UNDER AMUSEMENT AN INTEREST
ING QUESTION
Are GSteOpathS Violating the Laws
ReguIa ting the Practice Of Medicine.
Special to the Daily Progress.

/
Jackson, 0tc. 30.-The supreme
court of Mississippi now has under ad-
visement the interesting question of
whether the osteopaths operating in
the state are violating the laws regu-
lating the practice of medicine, and
in case il should be decided in the
negative large number of osteopaths
will be liable TO fine and: impriSon-
ment.
The question is brought up in the
case of DR.. Hayden VS.. state, appealed
from the circuit court of AlcOrn
county. wherein DR.. Hayden was con-
victed of practicing medicine without
license. The state contends that o.
teopaths sometimes use drugs in the
practice of their profession and that
in doing so they enter the province of
medicine. A decision TO this effect
was made by the supreme court of Al
ALBANIA some time ago and it now re-
mains to be seen whether the Missis-
sippi court will verify the accuracy of
the finding of its sister court.

Catarrh Poisons.
Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body into
ccalding fluids, which destroy and in.
flame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places
affected by catarrh can do little good
save to soothe or quiet disagreeable
symptoms. Hence it is that gargIes,
sprays, atomizers and inhalants only
serve as temporary relief. So long q.
the irritating secretions of catarrh con-

membranes continue to be inf1amed
no matter what treatment is used.

San Diego, Cal.-The formal evi
dence turned to what purports to bt
remarkable revelation of the innel
workings Of the theosophical institu
ton at Point Iona at a recent session
of the pending trial of an action fol
libel in which Mrs. Katherine Ting
ley, head of the Universal Brother
hood, is plaintiff, against the Times
Mirror company of Los Angeles, de
PENDANT. This evidence is in the form
of a disposition made by Louis s
Fitch of 200 Bond street, Hartford
Conn. According to the deponent, who
says he was employed as bookkeep
er by the Universal Brotherhood, OF
which he became member and had
privileges accorded to few, a dog be-
longing to Mrs. Tingley was supposed
to have inherited the spirit of the
movement; that Mrs. Tingley was re-
garded as prophet in line of success
sion, including Buddha, Christ and
Mahomet, and that she had told de-
ponent that marriage relations as
known to the world, in her belief,
were wholly perverted, and that the
people who lived the life at Point
Iona would evolve so as to reach a
stage where marriage would not be
necessary.
In his disposition Mr.. Fitch said
that he is 80 years Of age; that he
went to Point Iona to live about
the LIST of August, 1900, and that he
remained there until the LIST of March,
1901; that he went there as a book
keeper for the Universal Brotherhood
organization. He said the pledge OF
the esoteric society of theosophy was
very binding, all members taking
oath to obey the leaders in all things
the leader being Mrs. Tingley. Mrs
Tingley had absolute control ovel
everything and everybody, and she ex
ercised this in the minutest detail
She regulated where every member
should lodge, what they should eai
and where they should eat it, whom
they should have conversation with
whom they should walk or talk witt
and whom they must not speak tt
or look at.
The fare consisted of breakfast o.
one or two slices of very hard, unbut
tered toast and portion of cup o
coffee, without milk or sugar, ant
one cased egg. On leaving the dining
room after breakfast each member
took from tray four small crackers
and what else they might have con
