GULFPoRT, MISSISSIPPI.

This country is getting too big to
appreciate. We confess with shame
that, although We may have heard OF
Gulfport, Miss, the hearing carried
no conviction or knowledge Of impor-
lance with it. Whether We knew il
or not, it is a great seaport and bound
to become an important factor in
trade relations.
Last week steamship from Liver
pool entered the harbor of Gulfport
and the occasion was made one OF re-
JOGGING by its 5000 or 1000 inhabi-
tants. Nearly $40, 900. 600 has been
expended by the government in max
ing at Gulfport a deep water harbor
and the result exceeds even local an
ticipations. A channel % feet in
depth, 80 feet in width and miles
long has been dredged into Ship Island
harbor and the Gulf of Mexico, while
an anchorage basin, half mile by a
quarter of mile in dimensions, will
soon be completed and provided with
necessary piers and slips.
Inviting as some of our colonial
possessions may be, we are of the
opinion that the south offers greater
attractions today to capital and to
skilled and intelligent labor than dc
any of the islands of the sea, near OF
remote. Minneapolis Times.

shoes, hardware, queensware, family

stuff are just about as high priced as
they ever We're and of course in case
where man has two wives it takes
double the amount to supply the fam
ily. But Mcdonald duobtless thought
he could have a wife in every state
and that one would not make the dis
covery that he was the husband of
another woman. This is too risky.
Better commit suicide and be done
with it. But one of the funny pecu-
liarities about this case is that the
bigamist attempted to prove that he
was insane. A man who will swing
on the front gate with a pretty girl
and afterwards marry her is not in
sane. He may be fool, but he is
not crazy. He may catch cold and
die with the pneumonia, but he will
not die of meningitis. He may look
little crazy and act more so, but a
man born an idiot cannot 60 crazy.

MAKES up MIND.
w. w. Caldwell of Concordia
Enters Lists.
VIII Be a Candidate For Lieu
tenant Governor.

Since w. w. Caldwell, of Concordia,
decided not to enter the race for attor-
ney general because of the candidacy of
@. c. Coleman, of Clay Center. his
friends have been working up boom
for him for lieutenant governor, and
they believe they will get him into it.
There are now three avowed candi-
dates in the field for lieutenant COVER
nor. They are Dave Hanna of Hill City,
in the Sixth district; w. M. Glenn of
Tribune, in the Seventh district;and w.
A. Germany of Fort Scott. in the Sec
ond. In addition to these there are two
or three prospective candidates besides
Mr.. Caldwell.
Since a fight has been started on Dave
Hanna in the Sixth district, Caldwell's
friends believe he has a good chance to
win the nomination. They argue that
Hanna cannot get much support outside
of his home district if there is a fight
on him at home. and Caldwell will
eventually get the support of both the
Fifth and Sixth districts if the Fifth
gives it's united support to Burrow for
secretary of state and Ellis for asSoci-
ate justice, as it doubtless will.
Then the Seventh district has so
many candidates that the friends of
Caldwell do not believe Glenn will get
much support, and as two places are al
ready conceded to the Second district
without counting the candidacy of eth
er Germany of Fort Scott for lieutenant
governor, West of Kansas City for at
torney general, and Enright of Kansas
City for governor, that it is believed
Mr.. Germany will not get much sup
port.
1t is said that Caldwell has the sub
ject under consideration and will prob
ably announce his candidacy for lieu
tenant governor on Kansas Day.
His friends are already at work for
him and they do not anticipate much
trouble in lining up the Fifth district
behind him, unless James A. Kimball
of Salina who has been mentioned for
the same place, should conclude to run,
and this is not probable
Caldwell will make the fifth avowed
candidate for a place on the state ticket
in the Fifth district. The others are
Coleman of Clay Center, for attorney
general, Osborn of Salina, for superin-
tendent of insurance, Culp of Salina,
for state auditor, and Wilson of Belle
ville also for state auditor. 1t is not
probabl that the district will be able
to secure more than two places. OF the
five candidates, Coleman probably has
the strongest support at present, but
he also has the strongest opposition. He
will have the Fifth district solidly be-
hind him, and probably the Sixth, with
scattering support in other parts of the
state. But in opposition to him he has
Harry Bone of Ashland, and Judge
West of Kansas City, both strong men,
with a possibility that other candidates
NAV develop.

CAUSED A FURRY
Charges Filed Against President
and Secretary
Of the United Mine Workers of
America.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 21.-Charges
against President Mitchell, Secretary
Wilson and the executive board of the
United Mine Workers of America was
the first order of business before the
convention this afternoon, and the un-
expected announcement that the
charges would be taken up caused a
furry of excitement in the convention.
President Mitchell. in a voice full of
emotion, addressing the convention,
said:
Gentlemen of the United Mine
Workers-The election of officers was
to have been the first thing on the pro-
gramme today, but 1 have to say with
deep feeling and regret that charges
have been made by Miss Millie Mere
dith, an ex-employe of the national
office, affecting N yself as president of
the national body, against your ma
tional secretary, Mr.. Wilson, and also
against the national executive board.
THE time has come for the election
of national officers, and I am unwill-
ing to have this proceed until these
charges have been heard. therefore
ask the convention to hear these
charges, and I ask Mr.. VIM. D. Van
Horne of Indiana to take the chair
while the charges are being heard"
Delegate Harrison of Illinois moved
that Miss Meredith be sent for and
asked to explain the charges.

for supreme chancellor, the highest
office in the order. and leader of the
opposition to the administration.
Mr.. Overlook was arrested by a de-
tective as he was entering the Holland
building on his way to the meeting
where the election was to be held.
At the Four Courts a complaint was
lodged against Mr.. Overlook for carry
ing a concealed weapon. Friends of
the Overlook ticket, however, procured
Mr.. Overbeck's release on bond and
hurried with him to the meeting hall,
where they arrived in time to vote, his
one vote being necessary to win.
Geo. M. Ackley, of Kansas City, for
mer supreme OverSeer of the Legion of
Honor, who shared the room with Hoff-
meister last night, stated that he was
in the bath room adjoining the sleeping
compartment when Hoffmeister shot
himself with Ackley's revolver.
Ackley was held by the police for
the coroner's inquest, which COM
menced shortly before noon today.
Ackley says that Hoffmeister killed
himself, as he believed, because he was
defeated in his candidacy for re-elec-
ton to the office of supreme recorder.
''Hoffmeister was drinking last
night" said Ackley, land he told me
there woule be trouble. knew he had
locked it up My own revolver was in
my valise and it was the weapon with
which he shot himself
Geo. w. Teasdale, an intimate friend
of the dead man, said:
Il wish to contradict a rumor which
has already become current relating to
Mr.. Hoffmeister's accounts. His ac-
counts were investigated by the execu-
tive committee and the auditing com
mittee of the supreme council and were
found to be in good shape"
After hearing testimony of Messrs.
Ackley and Teasdale and s. 1. Barnard,
the coroner rendered a verdict of sui
eide.
Mr. Hoffmeister was 40 years of age.
He had held the office of supreme re-
corder of the order for 13 years. His
wife is at present in New York, where
she is visiting a sister.
