TiptonvilIe Disappointed.

There is a great deal of disap-
pointment at Tiptonville over the
fact that the Mississippi River Com
mission saw fit to appropriate only
$4,000 for the Lake county levee,
or enough to construct about two
and one-half miles of Ievee. Lake
county still has little over $4,000
left from her appropriation, or
enough to extend the levee to beyond
the Kentucky line. The govern
ment will commence at the upper
end and work down the river, thus
leaving a gap of some miles between
the two lines.

\ Prussian Confederate Veteran.

The United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy of Richmond, Va, recently de-
cided to send Gen. Robert Won Mas
SOW of Prussia, a cross of honor and
forwarded him the necessary blanks,
which were signed by him and return
ed. Won Massow is now general, COM
manding the Ninth army Corps in the
Prussian Cavalry. In the sixties he
came to America and joined the army
of the Southern Confederacy. He was
first with Gen. J. e. B. Stuart and
later with Gen. Mosby, and was wound
ed in a fight with a California battal-
ion near Dranesville, Va.
A Nashville Confederate veteran re-
members having seen the Prussian sol
dier, and says that he was one of the
most reckless men in a fight he ever
saw. The Prussian, on the other hand,
declared that for dash and enterprise
he never saw the equal of Sturat's and
Mosbys cavalry, though he was we'll
acquainted with the armies of Europe.

Col. "Taum" Baker.

For some reasOn-perhaps his hap
py-go-lucky manner is that reason
Col. Tom Baker, recently United States
Marshal for West Tennessee, has
friends in both the parties in this
State. AS usual thing the man who
changes his political views receives
the hatred of the party he forsakes.
Longstreet, though considered Lees
war-horse during the war, does not
stand high with the Democracy since
he went over to the Republicans; Gen.
Malone stood no higher; Mosby may
be put in the same category; while
Gen. Wheeler who has been considered
too intimate with the Republicans, is
suffering from the criticisms of those
who once regarded him with high es-
TEEN. But Baker is really liked by
most of the Democrats yet, and they
regret his having been turned down
by the President, though having moth
ing particularly against his successor
to the marshalship, Frank S. Elgin.
Baker was a Confederate soldier.
He was for some years after the war
Democrat. Then, on account of di-
vision in the party, he joined the Re
publicans. When he changed his poll
tics it was natural for Hon. E. w.
Carmack to proceed to jab him with
his editorial pen, and he it was who
made Baker locally famous as "Taum."
Baker figured in Nashville somewhat
prominently as editor of a Republican
weekly. When John J. Littleton was
killed, he took Littleton's position, and
though never the editor that brilliant
Republican was, he did his party good
service in the journalistic field.
By the way, Elgin's appointment
was peculiar. 1t reminds one of the
historical wooing of one of the pro-
fessors of William and Mary college in
its earliest days. A young man fell
desperately in love with one of the
professors female friends, but the lady
would not consent to a marriage de-
spite all his wOOing and prOtestations
of love. He finally requested the pro-
fessor to intercede for him, and see if
he could not induce her to change her
mind. The professor called, pleaded
what he could honOrably to further his
suit. The lady remained obdurate. FL
nally, she told him that he would find
her reason for not accepting her suit
or's hand in a certain part of the Bible,
giving him the chapter and verse. The
old gentleman went home, and turning
to the passage referred to. read with
some surprise-"And Nathan said,
Thou art the man."
This was a cue; the professor pro-
posed, and the two were married.
Bakers opponents for the position of
marshal were numerous-four or five,
among them P. H. Thrasher. Elgin
went TO Washington to urge the claims
of his friend Thrasher. Roosevelt was
very much impressed with Elgin-and
virtually saying Thou art the man.
gave him the position instead Of
Thrasher.

Saloon Men Alarmed.

Predictions of a fight in the next
General Assembly to modify the liquor
laws are heard since the Supreme
Court decided few days ago in favor
of the power of attorney against "any
and all" applicants for saloon license.
The decision amounts to local option,
in the opinion of leaders in the Anti
Saloon League and many saloon men.
Some of the saloon keepers are ad-
vocating an organization to control
the next legislature in order to enact
laws that will nullify the decision of
the supreme court. They are saying
that the supreme and appellate
courts are both republican,: and they
seem inclined to hold the republican
party responsible for the recent de-
cision. The Knights of Fidelity News,
a saloon keepers paper, is advocating
organization to obtain relief from the
next legislature.
Its editor, j. B. Wilson, says; 81
predict that the decision will have the
effect of wiping out 25 per cent of the
saloons in Indiana 1t will drive them
out of residence districts eventually
in most cities and confine them to
business districts.

indiana a Great State.

Indiana has been known through
out her history as an agricultural
state, and the census bulletin shows
that she is an agricultural state still,
and great one. Notwithstanding
her vast advance in recent years, and
particularly in the last decade, in
manufactures, more than ga per cent
of her acreage is included in farms.
In forty years the number of farms
has more than doubled, and in the
last decade has increased by II per
cent. With this increase in the num-
Der of farms has come a gradual de-
crease in the size of the farms. One
thing that stands out amid the vary
ing figures is a general advance in
prosperity over the whole field of
agriculture. Another thing is the va
riety of the crops. There are great
numbers of orchards and vast varieties
of vegetables grown. Horticulture

The law of Pennsylvania provides
that a man to become miner must
first have served two years as laborer
in the mines under the direction of a
qualified miner and shall have passed
an examination. This statute makes
it very difficult for the anthracite op-
orators to get force of experienced
miners at the present time. Another
law which is equally binding requires
the qualified miners to remain in the
mines as long as any work is being
done in them and forbidS them to
leave laborers alone in charge of them.
Thus the law seems to impose obliga-
tionS on both sides.

Governor Durbln should be upheld
by the people of Indianp, irrespective
of party, for refusing to allow the
boards of health of Kentucky and In
diana to loot the state treasury. The
governor does not deem that the
emergencO is such as to warrant the
distribution of the $50, 200 emergency
fund, and say:
81 do not consider that there is an
epidemic in southern Indiana, and /
will refuse to allow the emergency
fund to be used," he said. 81 learn
there is no smallpox in either New
Albany or Jacksonville. l also learn
that in the Jacksonville reformatory
the disease prevalent is only vaccinia,
disease resulting from vaccination.
l know nothing that will warrant use
of the emergency fund.-"
The people of Louisville and New
Albany and Jacksonville would have
been the chief losers by the quarantine
and no one would have been benefited.
The idea of quarantining against New
Albany when there is not single
case of smallpox in the county is pre-
poSterouS.
There are more deaths from vaccina-
tion than from smallpox.

pie to its hearts content, but In

court Wednesday, when Chin

lies they told. A mighty good chick
