The Dan Raines Case.

Carthage, Miss, Dec. 8.-The clerk
of the Supreme Court has returned the
records i'll the Dan Raines case to the
Circuit Clerk of Lee county and the
case will come up for a new trial at
the February term of the Circuit
Court. having been reversed and re-
manded by the tribunal of last resort.
Raines was convicted of killing his
wife, shotgun being the weapon used,
and the defense attempted to show
that it was an accidental homicide,
and that the prisoner had no intention
of committing murder. He was given
life sentence in the penitentiary, but
in view of the Supreme Court rever-
sal, and the grounds set forth, it is
now thought that he will be acquitted
on the second trial.

A Rocky Road to Travel.

jackson, Miss, Dec. 8-The man
who gets to the Mississippi Legisla.
ture next Winter will have rocky
road to travel. Aside from being
compelled to face the prohibition is
sue, there is strong and growing de-
mand for a better class of Legislators
than heretofore, and the best men in
the community will be asked to run
for the Office, instead of allowing some
idler or jack all trades who d,as
nothing else TO occupy his time, to
stop IN and walk off with the honors.
The campaign has been well launched
to elect a Legislature composed of
business men and leaders in the varl-
Gus professions, and the unanimity
with which the suggestion has been
taken up augurs we'll for it's success,
and to the detYiment of the profession

Meridian, Miss, Dec. S.-During
the next sixty days several hundred
Choctaw Indians will move from
Mississippi to the Indian Territory
to take their allotment of claims
made by the Dawes Commission to
the Five Civilized Tribes. The In
dians will go chiefly from Leake and
Nesshoba counties, where they have
been concentrated for many years, and
in the population is an unusually large
number of full -blooas, considering the
tendency of the Indian to intermarry
with other races, principally the ne
gro Many of the Indians, however,
do not desire to live permanently In
the Territory. and will retarn to Mis-
sissippi after they have gone through
the formality of proving their claims.
Many of the Indians will move over
land. Each will get 800 acres of fer
tile land, of an average value of about
50, 500. All must make the journey
within four months, or they will be
barred, and the majority of them ex-
poet to move about Christmas. .

LEVEEMAINTENANCE
Roosevelt May Favor Government Taking
Charge, An Object Of Recen
Sfnedes Bear Hunt.

Government taking the entire charge
of the levee system. 1t is known that
the President is an ardent advocate of
reclaiming the arid lands Of the West
by means of irrigation, and it is ma
tural to infer that he would also be
interested in seeing the other extreme
by looking at lanus that are useless by
reason of too much irrigation.
From a member of the bear hunting
party, and who, by the way, for many
years has been deeply interested in
the Mississippi levee system it is
learned that President Roosevelt is
much impressed with the fertility of
the delta soil, and also the wide area
of untitled lands, and the fact was
pointed out to him that the work of
reclaiming all of these lands was too
stupendous to be undertaken either by
the various states or private corpora
tions
This is ventnred as some of the ''in.
side history of the bear hunt, and
delta citizens hope that there is pos
sibility of future developments.

Since the call wss issued for pro-
hibition mass convention to assemble
in jackson on the nth of February,
the press of Mississippi has oommenc
ed to express itself in outspoken terms
ON the subject, and strong sentiment
is being manifested against statutory
prohibition.
Several of the leading papers of the
State are strenuous advocates of an
absolute prohibition law, and are de-
manding the insertion of the subject
as tho leading issue in the State cam
paign next year, but large majority
of tho papers, as indicated by their
editorials this week, are opposed TO
any change of the existing local op-
ton laws or favor the establishment
of the sispensary system.
Prohibition cannot prohibit. Is
the general cry that is being set up all
over Mississippi, and among the poll
ticians diligent effort is being made
to prevent tile issues fiom being made
in the State campaign. On the other
hand the prohlDitionists are unusually
active and declare that no man shall
be elected TO the Legislature or Slate
ofiioe who does not support tLeir
cause. The Methodist and Baptist
churches are joining hands with the
w. g. T. u. ana it looks very much
like the church and politics will have
lively niix-up next year.
Although the campaign is not as yet
well-defned, it is parent on the sur
face that the instrument the anti
prohibitionists will use to defeat their
opponents is the proposed dispensary
system, and the fight will be the most
bitter that has been waged since 1887
when the State declared for local op-
tion and the existing law was dcafted
and placed ON the statute books by the
Legislature of the following year.

dozen in number. by shrewd work at

LOTTERY TICKETS
CAN THEY BE CARRIED BY
EXPRESS COMPANIES?
Interesting Case Occupying At
tention of United States Su-
preme Court

Washington, Dec. 8.-Bearing on
the question of trusts and involving
the right of Compress to regulate COM
merce bet tween the states, the lottery
case, which came up for reargument
today before the United States Su-
preme Court, is of special interest.
The case is that of Francis VS.. the
United States. Francis was convicted
IN Cincinnati for carrying lottery
tickets across the Ohio line into Ken
lucky. The question Is whether Con-
gress can regulate interstate commerce
to the extent of preventing lottery
gambling by the aid of express com-
panies. Coupled with this case is one
from Chicago-Charles f. Champion
VS.. John O. Ames, United States
Marshal-which involves the constitu-
tionaIity of the Lottery Act of 1895.
Eminent lawyers and jurists regard
the two cases as having decisive bear
ing on the future policy of coul is and
of Congress.

Christiana, Dec. 8.-Bjornstjerne
Bjornson, the Norwegjan.poet. dramat-

event was made the occasion for cele-

Bjornson is the national poet of
Norway. His name is a synonym of
the hopes and aspirations of the Nor
wegian people In their political and
intellectual struggles.
Ejornson was born in 1882 and be-
gar his literary career in the early
SOS. In 1857 he published a
peasant novel, sSynnove Solbakken, /"
which proved epoch making in
Scandinavian literature. In it and
several others that followed he
gives an idealized picture of peasant
life-brought the thoughts ana aspira-
tioLs of the peasantry into literature.
These stories have been great source
of II asure and profit to the Norwe

and learned to know their better
selves.

THE WEST Is IN
NEED OF LABOR
THE GENERAL DEMAND WAS
NEVER GREATER.
INDUSTRIES SUFFERING
Railroad Work Greatly Hamper
ed ed-ConditionSDAre Tn
precedented.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 6.-Never In the
history or the Central West has the
general demand for labor been great
er, nor within the memory of the old
est business men has such scarcity
of wage earners existed. The condi-
tions are unprecedented AS result
industries are suffering, in that they
cannot operate to capacities war
ranted by the. conditions. Manufac-
turers are offering the greatest induoe-
ments to labor In the history of their
operation. Hundreds of the largest
and hardest pushed concerns in the
Central West have found their only
salvation lies in the importation of
labor from the East, where, according
to the Westerners, the activity is not
nearly so great. They have been able
to obtain some relief from this source.
All lines of trade are being pushed
as never before, and, in stead of dimin-
lshing, the activity seems to grow
more pronounced Students of the
commercial and industrial situation in
the Central West say present condi-
tions are assured for year to come.
Railroads having terminals here
are greatly hampered Within the
last month 8, 600 railroad laborers have
been imported to this city from the
Western sections, but the number
seem to have made little impres sion.
The railroads say they should have
30, 600 more men, but despair of get
ting them. The employment agencies,
especially those having contracts to
provide labor to the railroads, have
taken off their fees to appllcants-of
whom there are few-and notified the
State labor bureaus to send all the
help they can muster to them. They
have sent notices to other cities that
they will pay for transportation to
this city, but the conditions elsewhere
stand in the way OF a realization of
their desires.
The scarcity of labor is not confined
10 the railroads or any line of busi-
ness, but is general In the broadcast
sense of the word. Many housewife
Is doing her own work because of the
dearth of domestics. In no other field
Is the shortage of help more pro-
aounced The general average of
wages for domestic help has increased,
but girls who formerly worked in
homes are more content with labor in
factories ana stores. Boys are needed
every ywhere, but cannot be found.
The scarcity of boys has come to be
q problem for the business men to
solve Thousands of youngsters that
were compelled to assist in the main
tenance of their families in former
years are now enjoying the benefits of
schools.
Anothar strong Indication of the
betterment of the laboring classes is
shown in the statistics of the charita-
BILE oragnizations. Within the last
few months the calls for assistance
from needy families have been few
and scattered, and have come chiefly
from families rendered penniless by
illness.

WORK OF THE PROHIS
Much Interest Aroused in the Anti-Liquor
Agitation. Most of the Papers
Oppose Prohibition,

the last legislative SO sion, prevented
the passage OF statutory prohibition
law, bat this time the saloon clement
will not trust to Legislative manipula-
tion. The fight will be carried into
each county by friend and foe of IL
quor, and the issue is to be made di-
rect OH instructions to the Legislator.
Tie movement is on foot TO have
printed on the official ballots, - For
Statutory Prohibition, land Against
Statutory Prohibition, and the anti
saloonisrs will insist that this course
be followed.
The blind tiger element. which is
quite large, if not very respectable, is
expected to be found silently working
with the prohibition element, rs it has
always done in the past, for the blind
tiger men realize that the more
stringent the prohibition laws are

the exenditure of thousands of dol
lars. Aspirants for public office, re-
gardless of their personal views en- the
subject, realize that the prohibition
campaign will be unpleasant music TO
face, and they are decidedly reluctant
to declare their sentiments until they
are forced to do so.
The State campaign, aside from the
prohibition feature, promised to be
one of the most spirited for many
years, but with the injection of this
issue, anu an absolute primary elec-
tion law, the bitterness will be in
creased ten-fold, and the aspirants
for public place will have to waltz to
"hamony jangling out of tune" The
issue must he faced and each and every
candidate must announce himself on
one side or the other, for neither OF
the opposing forces will allow neutral

The Punishment of convicts.

Jack son. Mrs, Dec. 8.-The author
tiles of the Mississippi penitenti
are not in the least worried over the
Supreme Court decisions that they
have no right to apply the lash or
administer a whipping of any nature
to a convict, nor do they intend that
the deciison shall in any way inter
fere with the maintenance of goo d
discipline. There are scores of other
methods whereby refractory prisoners
may be punished, and, as one official
jooularly remarked, ''if all other
means are barred, we might adopt
the Filipino water cure.' Solitary
confinement in dungeon on short ra-
tions is the most severe form of pun
ishment employed in the Mississippi
prison, and this is more to be feared
by negro convict than any other
method. Nine tenths Of the oonv lots
in this State are negroes, and the
average African cares but little for
the momentary torment of the lash.

to accomplish this he worked in var
ious directions. He has written num-
erous songs that have fired his coun-
trymen with spirit of self-reliant
patriotism; other songs touching the
various phases of life and love that
have been ennobilng and refining. He
has written historical dramas to bring
vividly before his people tue sturdy
qualities of their forefathers; power
ful social dramas which probe deep in
social evils, not primarily for dramatic
effect, but TO arouse the public con-
science and to suggest the remedy /;
modern realistic novels that have
dealt in the broadcast manner with the
great questions of education, religion
and domestic duty.
Bjornson is therefore known better
in Scandinavia as po itioal reiormer,
though MS reputation outside his ma
tive country is that of a delightful
novelist and poet. A Republican OF
the Repu blicans, he has for years been
dodging jalis and writing prob
lem books Years ago he was Civ
en- a Jail sentence for treason,
but got out OF Norway and lived in
Germany until 1882 On his return to
Christiana he at once resumed bis
anti government agitation and his
novel writing. He wrote tragedies,
too, and won wide fame as writer
and describer of Norwegian life His
seventy years weigh lightly on him.
and he is full of intellectual and ply
sical vigor. He is the son of q coEn-
try pastor and began his career by
writing folk stories for periodicals.
His early education was received in
Denmark and his literary masters are
Danish He has written about twen-
ty-five works in all-plays and novels.
