The fact that the mysterious schoon-

Brown knows that an island of certain
sort of formation in the South Seas
Is the one which contains the treasure
but Is not exactly certain which island
it Is and for that reason Will have to
visit many small islands before he finds
the right one.

Railroad Wreck.

No. 25, local passenger train,
which was behind about two
hours, ran into an open switch
this morning just above the
Brookhaven depot and badly
wrecked the switch engine and
tender, three box cars and a ca
boose which were standing on
the switch. There was quite a
heavy fog and the engineer on
the passenger train did not dis
cover the open switch until too
late. The engineer and fireman
on both engines jumped and es-
capped injury. The passenger en-
CINE had the COW catcher knock
ed off and was but slightly dam
aged, and after backing out of the
wreck, went on with it's train to
McComb, but the switch engine
and tender were badly smashed,
as we'll as the freight cars and ca
boose attached to them.
G. B. Perkins hardware wagon,
which was standing by one of the
freight cars unloading some
freight, was caught in the crash
and smashed all to pieces, but
fortunately, the driver and horse
escaped uninjured.
The accident is said to be due
to the carelessness of a negro

STATE PROHIBITION.

The call for a State Prohibition
mass meeting in Jackson in Feb,
ruary, which is published on
another page of today's paper, is
the most significant and import
ant utterance on this subject pub
lish ed in over ten years. The
call is issued by well-known Mis-

tion of the State, and the signers
represent all callings and profes-
sions ministers, judges, lawyers,
doctors, editors, merchants, far
me rs, manufacturers, etc., who
say in this paper that the time
has come to 60 forward and
secure the passage by the next
Legislature of prohibitory
law covering the whole State.
The document is well worth a

The mass meeting, when it assem-

IN Memory of Sara Magdalene Ram.

SJs
This beautiful young maiden,
Standing with reluctant feet,
where the brook and river meet,
hath chosen the better part and
fallen on sleep"-the gateway
of Life Eternal to the pure in
heart.
"As a bird to its shetering nest,
When the storm on the hills is abroad,
So her spirit hath flown from this world of un-
rest,
To repose on the bosom of God.''
Sara came to bless and brighten
the lives of her devoted parents,
brothers and sisters, just a little
more than twelve years ago. Of
an artless and lovely nature, she
was a CLEAN of sunshine in the
home; and her generous kindliness
and helpfulness made light the
childish sorrows or maturer ills
of the household and prophesied
an ideal womanhood in the years
that seemed to beckon on her will
ing feet. But Time, that in it's
charity, heals all wounds, in its
mercy has spared the innocent life
the rude awakening that life's
experience brings; and in the
knowledge of this fact there
comes the tranquility of peace
full resignation to the trial the liv-
ing must bear, since to the dead
it has brought a surcease of all
pain and the joy that follows
after.
Years ago Sara suffered an at
tack of typhoid fever; so, when
she was again assailed by the same
insidious disease, there was grave
apprehension as to the result.
This morning at O'Clock her
pure spirit took its flight from
the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. N. W. Ramsey, and tomor-
row at 10 a. M, the funeral cere-
monies will take place from St.
Francis church, to the services
of which the young girl was ever
a devoted and Jealous adherent.

Big Cotton Mill at Cold Springs.

Mr.. E. H. Easterling, head of
the Moreton & Helms Lumber
Co., and one of the most promi-
nent and successful lumbermen in
South Mississippi, was in town
Friday and informed The Leader
that he and his partner, Mr.. Fe-
lix May, were organizing COM
pany for the erection Of $3.50,
900 cotton mill at Cold Springs.
Mr.. Easterling said there was
no doubt that the enterprise
would have all the financial back
ing necessary to make it a 60.
The Leader has been hoping a
cotton mill would be established
at Brookhayen by some one,
but il we can't have one here just

know there is to be one in Lin

In Memory of w. C. Furr.

After an illness of five weeks of
intense suffering, Mr.. w. c..
Furr closed his earthly career
Oct. 5th, 1902. He was born
July 10Th, 1856, three miles south
east of Wesson, Miss, and lived
and died at the old home. He
never married, feeling it his duty
to remain and care for his widow
ed mother and others who were
dependent upon him; and like a
tower of strength he stood in the
home. while the storms swept by,
to protect and sweeten the life
of her whom he called mother. "
He was an honorable, upright
citizen; a kind and obliging neigh
Dor, and a true friend in time of
need. He will be greatly missed
in the neighborhood; and when
long years have gone and others
may have been forgotten, his
place will still be vacant in the
home. He never made a public
profession of religion, but ex-
pressed his regrets at not having
made public the faith and love
that for years had lain mex
pxressed in his heart. Those
who knew him have no doubt but
that he has entered into rest, and
is now with the Savior whom he
loved.
And now, mother, brother
and sisters, let us commend
| you to Him who doeth all things
we'll. Remember that He is wise
and good, and though clouds may
hang over your path now, the
light will come in the morning OF
the unending and cloudless day.

NEW TIME CARD.
Direct Connections With East and West
Northwestern Trains.

A new time table went into effect
on the Redwood branch Of the North
western system last Sunday, and
the most agreeable feature about the
card is that it is so arranged that a
passenger can leave St. Paul at Z
o'clock in the morning and arrive
here at ] 80 in the afternoon, and
leaving one can leave here at 80
iiiaasthe afternoon and get to St. Paul
at 7:25 in the evening. The latter
is probably the best feature.
Hereafter, commencing with last
Sunday, the morning train will
leave Sleepy Eye at 6:15 and arrive
here at 8:30 Returning it will
leave Redwood Falls at 9:45 and
will reach Sleepy Eye at 11:30, in
time to allow passengers to take the
Dakota passen ger train, bound west.
Returning from Sleepy Eye the
train leaves place at 2:l5 in the
afternoon and will reach Redwood
Falls at 1:3O. This train leaves
Redwood Falls at 1850 and. arrives
in Sleepy Eye at the time stated
above.
The Sunday train will hereafter
come into Redwood Falls at 80 and
leave here at LOO, bringing in the
St. Paul and Minneapolis evening
papers. according to the present
schedule. An effort is being made
to have the train which leaves ST..
Paul daily, except Sunday. run out
of that city on Sunday also, which
will give Redwood Falls the Sunday
morning papers at l:3O o clock. In
asmuch as the papers will arrive
here about an hour earlier over the
Northwestern, under the new sched-
ule, than they do by the present
SCHeuule VI tAo Ot. LOUIS: ~ IS IKE
ly that the daily papers will come
by the Northwestern in the future.
The only objection to the new
card is that it does not give Red
wood Falls a late afternoon train,
and in order to meet this demand
the company may yet be called upon
to run three trains per day into and
out of the city.

room had that anything unusual
was going on was when March
struck West blow in the face. Two
blows were struck before West fell
to the floor, and March seized the
fallen man by the leg and struck at
him again while he was on the floor.
Men crowded around and March
either stepped back or was pushed
back, and West rose to his feet. He
drew the revolver and fired one
shot. March said, "Shoot again.
I'll die game, and started for the
billiard room adjoining, West max
ing no attempt to follow him, March
was found to have been hit about
four inches above the left groin,
and the iutestines were perforated.
He died on Monday. Dec. 2. having
been only partially conscious at any
time after the shooting.
The prisoner was arraigned on
the charge OF murder, to which he
pleaded not guilty. The state will
endeavOr to prove that d sufficient
time elapsed after the prisoner was
struck by March and before the
shot was fired to permit him to col
lect his faculties and to realize that
he was not in danger of further at
tack. The defense will dwell on
the fact that the prisoner has on
several other occasions avoided
March, and that just preceding the
shooting he had left~the Prescott to
avoid a row. 1t will probably not
! be contended that there Was a prob
ability that March would renew his
attack as the men were separated,
and there were plenty of people
present to prevent further trou BILE.
! Much will be made ofthe fact that
| West had been struck two furious
! blows: one Of which had broken a
tooth, and one or both of which bad
badly bruised'his head: that he had
been knocked down and had just re-
gained his feet, and that from the
time when the first blow was struck
to the firing of the Shot not more
than minute, had elapsed. which.
it will be claimed. was not sufficient
for a man to regain full possession
of his powers of judgment after an
experience such as that through
which West had passed. The plea
will be made that to all intents and
purposes the act of West was pure
~ one of self-defense, and that Sc
far as West was able to Judge he
was in the midst of melee, with
his adversary coming straight for
| him.
