From all the facts and circum-
stances connected with the Vene-
zulean trouble, it is apparent that
Germany wants Uucle Sam to
show his hand again on the Mon

emperor has great colonization de.
signs and he is feeling for terrific
ry upon which to plant his iag.
Unless this government holds fast
to the principal that has so lonS
been recognized as the law We will
soon have to move Germany off

The recent action Of the rail-
road commission in fixing all
goods manufactured within the
state in proportion to the rates
charged by the railroads from
manufacturing centers outside the
state will prove most advantageous
to the manufacturing interests of
our home people. The date for
inaugurating these rates has been
fixed at February LIST, but so far
the railroads have not slgnifed
their willingness to accept them,
neither have they entered formal
protest. The work of the com
mission in placing home made
goods upon this advantageous
ground will have a most whole.
some effect upon u manufactur.
ing interests. IneSe industries
are, in most instances, in the ex.
p%erimental stage of their existence,
and should at least be placed upon
an equal footing with the Older
manufacturing concerns that have
been fostered by national and 10.
cal protection until they have
grown independent and prosper

reasonable and adequate to allow
the roads a margin of profit an6
the commission should make then

are lived up to by the roads.

Applause in Murder Case.

The effect Of applause on an
audience ona murder verdict was
considered by the Supreme Court
in tie Raines case, from Lee coun-
ty, and there was an intimation
that a case might arise in which
such a manifestation would war
rant a reversal as having had too
great an influence on the jury.
Private John Allen, counsel in the
case, had made the closing speech
for the prosecution, and as he took
his seat he was greeted with an
enthusiastic burst of applause
from the audience in the court
room, which was promptly check
ed by the presiding judge. The
remarks made by the Supreme

which has, since its passage by

and escaped the vigilance of Gener-
al Scott and the United States
regulars and remained ia Missis-
sippi, an allotment of government

reservation in the Indian Territory
and within a very short time the
remnants of the Choctaw Nation
will bid adieu to tender memories
and fond associations Of their
native soil Of Mississippi and wend
their way to their new possessions
in the west and there spend the
remainder of their lives, thinking,
perhaps, with aching hearts of
their familiar haunts in the once
primevlal forests of Mississippi.
There are however, a few old
braves who will remain true to
early attachments and finally be
laid away in the soil of the land
they love so we'll
In 1861 a great many Choctaws
volunteered for the Confederate
service, and served with great hon
or to themselves in the different
commands which operated in the
southwest. They made braye SOL
dlers and good fighters. Several
of these old braves are still alive,
among them being Jack Amos, the
famous Confederate scoct, who
now is ~tottering on the brink Of
the grave, but living in the hope
that he will live aud have the

A long u%nshapely trench, cover
ed with autumn leaves festooned
with the dying foliage of summer,
along the banks of Chunky river
will testify to the heroism of the
Choctaw Indians, their devotion to
duty and their love for the Lost
Cause
Major Spann, who commanded
the Indians during hat memorable
period relates this incident: In
June, 1868, when troops were be-
ing rushed to Vickburg to the
support of Pemberton, a long train
of soldiers had reached Chunky
river. The June freshet was on
and the waters were running wild
over the bridge. Two carloads of
soldiers were plunged into the
raging torrent, Major Spann at
once ordered his Indian braves to
plunge into the seething waters
and rescue the men. This they
did without hesitation, and rescued
every one, % alive and SO dead.
Such heroism will ever live in the
minds of the people of Mlssis-
sippi. 1t may be said that the
ChOctaw Indians have always been
friendly to the white race, and
never did a white man an injury
or gave an affront to a white
woman, and above all have never
been known to degrade their
standard of morality with the
negro. When the last Choctaw
shall have crossd "Father Of
Waters and taken up his resi-
dence anil tina rolling prairies of
the west, then, and not until
then, will the people Of Missis-
sippi feel their loss MERRIAM

Protect yourself, and don't trust TO

a cold is a physical crime. You may

These diseases all weaken, and to a
weakened body come fiocking a host of
diseases that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system SO that you will not

care that il fits into the corners and
around the sides. The flowers should
be placed in, row after row, until there
is a layer of flowers fitting one into the
other all over the bottom of the box.
Never crowd nor put one layer on the
top of the other. The rows must be
as close together as possible; the flow
er heads of each row should be on the
stems of the row Immediately proceed
ing it, so that when the box is finish
ed only flowers are TO be seen and no
stems. They must be closely packed
or they will tumble about. Place on
top another sheet of paper and then
damp moss, but do not press the flow
ers. Always gather the flowers in the
evening, and then place in water some
hours before they are packed and in
the dark, so that the flowers may have
time to suck in sufficient water to keep
them fresh. One drop of florists gum
is sometimes put in the middle of a
flower, care being taken that 1t does
not touch the petal itself Sometimes
a little collar of tissue paper and wool
slipped beneath the petals is a good
thing. One of the safest ways to
send delicate flowers is. to cut Sits in
potatoes and insert the flower stems,
taking care that they are firmly fas-
tened in and supported by a little cot
ton or paper. Flower will keep for a

memory This stone was an heirloom in
his family, and concerning it a Brah-
min had prophesied that as long as the

would never suffer capture by his enc

though every outlet was guarded and

was never secured to pay the penalty

These two stones were known origin
ally as the Great Mogul and Babar
diamonds. The Great Mogul weighed
2791a carats when cut, and was valued
at 81, 1896, 900 in our money. Tavernier,
who was permitted to inspect the gem
when visiting the court of the EN-
peror, Shah Janan, describes it as be-
ing of the purest water and undoubt-
eddy the most splendid jewel in the
world. The Babar diamond also be-
longed to the Mogul oonquerors and
weighed 1874 carats. AS far as any au-
thentic record is concerned both these
diamonds were lost when Nadir Shan
sacked Delhi in 1889. Though Nadir
