seek the growth OF intellect of mind, by
the search for knowledge. These two go
together. side by side. There Is no antago-
nism between them. The foundation stone
of true knowledge Is the knowledge Of self.
30 as to acquire q mastery Of self. so as to
sec In God the ruler, the governor. the

Therefore one thing before you this year

iarity with the great past the preparation
for the great future which knowledge viii

A SERIAL STORY.
"The Mississippi Bubble" to Be Print
ed in the Daily Star.

Beginning with its issue of
October IS The Star will print
as a serial in daily installments
Mr.. Emerson Hough's notable
novel, "The- Mississippi Bub-
ble."
According to "The Book
man." an accepted authority in
such matters, The Mississippi
Bubble" became the best selling
book ON the American market
within two months of its publ
cation. Since that time it has
more than sustained the high
favor with which it was then re-
ceived.
The book has its chief interest
in the career of John Law of
Lauriston, under whose touch
the whole financial system of
France in the days following the
death of Louis XIV was di-
rected toward the new Missis-
sippi colony in America and in
volved in it. That epoch in
French history is one of the
most picturesque in the story of
all Europe. But "The Missis-
sippi Bubble" comprehends also
pictures of contemporaneous
life in London and the Canadian
forests. Law was in history a
most attractive, and absorbing
figure. Mr.. Hough has given
him a personality which intensi-
fes this historical interest.
"The Mississippi Bubble thus
comprises a view of three inter-
esting nations at most impor-
tant stages of their development,
the career of an extraordinary
and spectacular historical figure,
and love story of rare charm
and dramatic force.

Five Conyicts E.cape

Five negro convicts escaped from
the state camp at England. 1t seems
that the five negroes were at work
plowing in field several miles from
the stockade, each one handling the
lines over one OF the states mules.
One of the negroes stopped plowing to
bring the lone guard in charge of the
squad drink of water and the others
so managed it that they reached the
place where the guard was about the
same time. AS the guard raised the
dipper to his mouth the negro who
was carrying the water bucket sud
denly seized him around the waist
and pinioned his arms to his side.
The other negroes came quickly to the
assistance of their fellow-convict, and
it was the work of but few seconds
to take the guards revolver and Win
chester. One of the negroes kept the
guard covered while the others I'M
hitched the five mules from the plows
and mounted them. Then the con-
vict who was guarding the guard
mounted his mule and quickly joined
the others. The names of the escapes
and their terms are as follows: Will
Dillehay, sent up March 16 1897,
from Lee county for twenty-one years
for murder; he escaped shortly after
his incarcerat On and was only recap
tured last February in Mississippi
and returned to the penitentiary
walls; he has stiff arm. Adam
Greer sent up from Crittenden coun-

he escaped last year at West Memphis.

A DANGEROUS OIL FIRE.
Lightning struck u Large OIL Storage Tank
at Jennings, La. Resulting in
Hot Blaze,

Jennings, La, July 15.-D1r!ng q
heavy electrical storm that passed
over the Jennings oil field to-day
bolt of lightning struck the field
storage tanks of the Jennings Oil Co..
setting them on fire. The flames
spread to the derricks adjoining and
in a short time the derricks and
tanks were destroyed. Burning
streams of oil from the tanks ran in
the direction of the coulee. All work
men on the field Immediately stopped
operations and set about throwing up
levees to prevent as far as possible
the spreading of the fire. In a short
time, however, another tank had
broken loose and the wind has driven
the flames into the derricks of the
Southern, Northern and Crescent oil
companies, but they in some manner
escaped destruction. The fire is still
raging tonight, and the safety of
the field depends on the strength of
Jennings No. 2. The oil is leaking
around this tank, and, togther with
the gas, is burning fiercely, sending
a blaze high into the air, and the
entire field is threatened.
Workmen are now engaged in re-
moving the derricks of the remaining
companies and burying the mouths
of the wells under a heavy coating OF
mud and water.
A special train bearing experts has
been asked for, and they will be taken
to the field to assist in saving the re-
soon as they arrive from Beaumont.
