DEATH OF GOV. SHEPHERD.
The Man Who Made Washington q
Magnificent City Passes Away
at BatopiIas, Mexico.

Washington, Sept. 13.-A private tel
egram received from Batopilas, Mexi-
co, announces the death there Friday
morning of Alexander r. Shepherd,
who was vice-president of the board
of public works of the District of
Colombia during the territorial gov
ernment of the district in 1871, and
two years later governor of the dis
trict. He was 67 years of age. The
cause of death was peritonitis,
brought on by an attack of appendi-
citis. Mrs. Shepherd, accompanied by
her son-in-law and daughter, DIR. and
Mrs. Frank Merchant, who reside in
Washington, were informed of the Sc
rious illness of the governor Thurs
day, and left at once for Batopilas.
Gov. Shepherd, as the executive Of
ficer of the board Of public works, in
spite of vigorous opposition, began
and successfully continued improve
ments in all parts of the city, 9Th
the result that Washington became a
magnificent capital. To the governor
is given credit for nipping in the bud
a project for the removal of the cap
ital to some western city, which was
warmly agitated at one time. At the
expiration of his term as governor,
in company with New York capital
lists, he purchased the Old Hacienda
San Miguel silver mines, at Batopilas,
which in later years have proved
profitable, and there he has since re-
sided. He leaves widow and seven
children

The assessment rolls coming into
the auditors office continue to show
healthy increases in the assessments
of the counties with few exceptions.
Now and then county comes in
showing marked decrease in its as
sessment. This is hard to under
stand, in view of the fact that every
thing has been on the upgrade in
the State during the past twelve
months and property values have
had an upward tendency In some
instances the increase has beeen so
great as to suggest imitation. Not
withstanding this falling off in few
Of the counties, the total assessment
for the State will show a large in
crease.

Startling Increase.

The assessment roll of Perry coun-
ty has reached the auditors Office,
showing the startling increase of
81, 100000. Perry county is located
in the center of the great industrial
activity which has been sweeping
over the southeastern section of the
State, and the figures, while start
ling, are not surprising TO those who
have been watching the rapid growth
of this part of the State. In the
figures which Perry county gives the
lumber manufacturing enterprise
doubtless takes the lead, but there
are all sorts of manufacturing enter
prises seeking Southeast Mississippi,
and values of real estate are steadily
on the upgrade The total of Perry
county's realty roll as just filed with
the auditor is $5,06S,732. The in
crease in exact figures over last year
is $1,492, ,204.

Greatly Excited Over the Sink
ing of the Crete-a-Pierrot.

Port-au-Prince, Hayti, Sept. 13.-
Gen. Firmin has issued a violently
worded proclamation to his partisans
concerning the death on board the
Crete-a-Pierrot of Admiral Killick.
He encourages his followers to fight
until the end against the provisional
government of M. Boissrond Canal,
whom he accuses of having excited
Germany against him to the point of
efecting the destruction of the Crete
a-Pierrot by the Panther.
The population of Gonaives and oJ.
Marc, both in the possession of the
revolutionists, are greatly excited.
Bills expressing hatred of the Ger
mans are being posted there, and
cries of hostility to this nation are
frequently heard in the streets.

PICKS GOOD FIGHTING MEN.
Man Colombian steamer Bogota
When She Leaves Frisco.

San Francisco, Sept. 13.-There is
every prospect that the steamer Jes-
sic Banning, when she sails from this
port under the Colombian flag, will
have on board an out-and-out Ameri-
can crew, officers and all.
Seymour Dutton, a reporter on
San Francisco morning paper, has
shipped as executive officer of the
Bogota, as the converted steamer will
be called. Dutton, who is grandson
of Admiral Seymour, was educated at
the Annapolis naval academy, and
was an officer on the Gloucester dur
ing the naval operations in Cuban
waters. Capt. N. H. Marmaduke will
command.
Just when the Jessie Banning will
leave this port is uncertain. She is
supposed to be reftted here, but the
vessel can put to sea in week If nec-
essary.
At Acapulco the steamer is to pick
up a big bow gun. While there she
will get her small guns, including
gatling, and ammunition.

The advantages Of the soil and
climate of Mississippi for truck
growing is now attracting the atten-
ton of Northern capitalists, and the
development of this industry in the
near future seems to be assured. A
large concern in Pennsylvania is now
in negotiation for 10000 acres of
land in Southeast Mississippi and in
the prairie country in the northeast
ern section. The plan upon which
the company proposes to operate is
to buy up tracts of land suitable for
truck farming and then lease out the
lands in small farming tracts to
thrifty farmers. The land is to be
leased out on easy terms, and they
will also be furnished with all the
money needed to make and market
their crops, the concern agreeing to
market all of the produce grown by
the farmer for small commission
fee.

MADE PROMPT RESPONSE.
No Delay In the Sailing of the Ships
Ordered to the Isthmus
of Panama.
REAH-ADMlRAL CASEY WILL COMMAND.
The Panther VIII Not Take the Ma
rine Battalion Until the Necessity
for Additional Men Shall Become
More Apparent Than at Pres
ent.

Washington, Sept. 13.-By noon Fri
day the navy department had been adj
vised that the two warships ordered
to the scene of trouble on the isthmus
of Panama had sailed for their des-
tinations. A telegram was received
from Rear-Admiral Casey, command
ing the Pacific station, stating that
the big battleship Wisconsin LETT
Bremerton Friday, and after taking
on coal at San Francisco, will resume
her long voyage down the Pacific
coast.
With His Usual Promptness.
With the same promptness which
characterized his hurrying to the
scene of the terrible disaster at Mar
Unique, Commander 7. c. Mclean,
with the Cincinnati, had started for
Colon within a few hours after the re-
ceipt OF the navy departments orders.
and cabled Secretary Moody to that
effect Friday morning. As a further
indication that the vigorous efforts of
the navy department. to relieve the
situation on the isthmus, are none
too early, the following cablegram
was received from Commander Pot
ter, of the Ranger, who, with his
small gunboat, the Ranger, has for
the present, the entire situation to
look after:
Panama, Received cipher message
this morning (saying) revolutionists
near railroad line. Situation serious.
Transit across sthmus still open.
[Signed.] POTTER"
The Considerations Involved.
In view of the reports that political
significance attaches to this latest
dispatch of naval force to the 18TH
mus of Panama, a statement was
gained from high and unquestiona-
BILE official source to the effect that
the protection of American interests
and the enforcement of treaty guar
antees are the only two considera-
tions involved in the sending of addi-
tional warships to Panama and Colon.
1t was pointed out that peculiar cir
cumstances made necessary the dis
patch of force more formidable
than the occasion really warrants.
VIII Await Further Orders.
1t is learned that the department
has decided not to send the Panther
with the battalion Of marines to the
isthmus unless Commander Mclean.
on the arrival of the Cincinnati at
Colon, informs the department. that
the men are needed. In the mean
time, the battalion will be equipped
and provisioned and the ship is held
in readiness for an immediate depar-
ture for Colon.
Rear-Admiral Silas Casey, comman-
der-in-chief of the Pacific station, will
go down to Panama aboard the Wis
consin and take personal command
of the naval forces upon his arrival
there.

Major Mcfarland.

At the recent State encampment
of Mississippi troops, Capt. John
Baxter Mcfarland, of Aberdeen,
Company B, First regiment, was
elected major of the Second battal-

times previously declined on ac-
count of devotion to his home COM

ceedingly popular. He commanded

can service and reorganized it at the
close of the campaign, and reentered

Mississippi State News


At the last meeting of the board
of supervisors of Oktibbeha county
an order was adopted authorizing
the public highways to be worked In
future on the contract plan, and bids
will soon be asked Quite a NUM-
Der of other counties in the State
have done the same thing during the
year, having grown tired and dis
gusted with the old commutation
system, which leaves all roads with
three bitches, the largest in the mid
die. This reform in road working
in Mississippi is largely due to the
visit a year ago of the good roads
train in charge of Commissioner
Moore.

THE MAGIC NOTE

Unto the opera he went.
Mid the orchestral roar
He sighed in dreay disconteDt'
I've heard all that before"
He hastened where the SYLVAN bird
It's carols would outpour.
He said; IT'S no use; I've heard
That self-sams song before
He read the poets lay sublime.
Full Of eternal lore,
And sighed; How futile is is rhyme
I've heard 1t all before"
Ard then a tiny infant came,
And, smiling. said: "Ah goo"
He laughed with It in glad acclaim,
And cried: Here's something new?'
And II the baby laughed or cried,
And, woke up all the street.
He hailed the noise with parent pride
As music strange ard sweet.
And when grave neighbors came one day
And criticised the roar
IL argered him to hear them say:
We've heard such things before"

In quite a number of counties spe-

boards of supervisors to the road
overseers to thoroughly work the
public highways and place their re-
