complished. Hence their support will
insure vast assistance in getting up
worthy exhibit.
The subject Of greatest importance
Just now is the proposed postponement
of the exposition from 1903 to 1904.
This, If done, will be in Difference to
the earnest desire Of foreign countries,
in order that they may have sufficient
time to get up worthy exhibits. Japan,
for instance, country from
which we hope to secure one
of the finest foreign exhibits
that will have place at St. Louis,
can make only bare pretense of an
great exposition, but in 1904 1t would
send the cream of this exposition to
the st. Louis fair.@ If, however, wheth-
er 1903 or 1904, Mr.. Henry is going
right ahead with his work of finding
out what is best to be done and he will
then proceed to do 1t. He will go to
st. Louis in a-short while to look over
the field and secure the best he can for
the State. He will also visit Charles
ton, thus completing the long list Of
expositions he has visited-all in this
country, beginning with the centennial
and gather such pointers as may
prove of value in his great undertake
ing. Gov. Longino and the other gen.
tlemen of the bureau will visit st.
Louis and study the scene and unite
in the effort to secure the very best
possible site for Mississippi's exhibit.
The bureau is now at work defining
the duties of the commissioner, and we
hope and believe that from this time
forward all who are in any way con-
nected with Mississippi's exhibit will
labor earnestly and in cordial unison
for the best possible display from the
State so dear to all of us.
We had hoped to give our readers
the list of county and district commits
sioners which the bureau authorized
the governor to name, but it is too
important a matter to be decided in
haste, so our readers must wait little
longer for the names. These auxiliary
commissioners are to be women, and
as has been the case since ever there
were women, they are to do the work
for love. And as has been their rule
through all time they will do this work
for love with as much willingness and
enthusiasm as though money were to re-
place gratitude when the time for re-
ward rolls around. The bureau and
the commissioner showed their wisdom
in putting so important matter into
the hands Of the splendid women of
Mississippi, and they will doubtless see
to it that woman has a fair showing
at the exposition. The governor was
also authorized to appoint negro assist
ants that the negro race may have
chance to display its progress, and he
will doubtless choose wisely and for
the best interests of the race and the
State.
Until these appointments are made
and the work begins to assume shape
these columns may lack the interest
with which it is our desire to infuse
them. But we will faithfully "glean
after the reapers" and give our readers
the benefit of the gleanings.
In the meantime, we can but repeat
our suggestions made last week, that
our men and women begin now to plan
and to work for an exhibit of the very
best specimens of the products of their
farm, orchard, garden, or whatever
else may engage their time and talent

EXPOSITION ITEMS.

This column will henceforth be de-
voted to the interests OIL Mississippi's
exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, and through it we hope, in
our limited way, to serve the State in
this grand work. Any of our readers
who have good ideas or any who
know of worthy exhibits are cordially
invited to communicate them to the
editor and such as are available will
be used in this department and thus
brought to the attention of the bureau,
as we'll as to the public.
That the Louisiana Purchase Bureau
for our State did a good thing in Sc
lecting Mr.. R. H. Henry of the Clarion
Ledger as State commissioner, is am
ply proven by the satisfaction that the
appointment has given throughout the
State. His press brethren with one

HOW MONEY GREW ON BUSHES.
Section Men on the Burlington Strike
Bonanza.
(Chicago Inter Ocean,


The fairy tale of money growing on
bushes was realized this week along
the RICH. of way of the Burlington
railroad, between Hyannis and ALI
ance.
A gang of section men was at work,
when one of them noticed something
that looked like a bill waving from the
tangled top of a sunf1ower growing by
the roadside. He investigated. 1t was
treasury note for SO.
He walked a few steps farther and
there. nOdding from a branch of bit
OF dog fennel, was another bill of sim
liar denomination.
He called to his companions, and the
entire gang threw down their tools and
started on a money hunt. For three
hours they searched up and down the
right of way and far afield.
At almost every yard their trouble
was rewarded by finding either a s. or
$40 bill Some bills were tangled in the
tops of weeds, others half hidden in
bushes along the fence, and still others
in the stubble of the field.
The entire days cleanup of the eight
was $2,135. When the find was report
ed, word came from headquarters that
money pouch containing $500 had
been lost from an express shipment the
day before.
The supposition is that the bag fell
out of the open car door and was
ground to pieces under the wheels. and
the contents were scattered to the
winds. This hypothesis is supported by
the later discovery of portions of the
damaged pouch

FALLS IN Mine
AND SURVIVES
N. R. Waterman Has Narrow
Escape From Death.
DROPS DOWN A WINE
RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS, BUT
NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED.
PROPS DOWN A WINE

NJ r. WATERMAN, the well known
~ mining man, had a miraculous
escape from a tragic death at 9
O'Clock Thursday morning. when he
fell down a winze of a mine above
Stockton, in which he is interested. Al
though he was precipitated a distance
of about thirty-five feet, and while in
an unconscious condition from the eff
fects of his fall, rolled a few feet down
drift leading from the Wine to the
shaft of the mine, he did not sustain
a fracture of a bone, escaping with
three scalp wounds and numerous
bruises.
At the time of the accident Mr.. Wa
terman and Judge Edmund Bierer We're
about to return to Salt Lake. While
the stage was waiting to take the par
ty from the mine to Stockton, Mr.. Wa
terman made a hasty entrance into the
tunnel TO see what work had been done
there. He had never been in it before,
and did not know that part way back
there was a winZe which was open
Into this the mining man stepped and
fell to the bottom.
His cry attracted the attention of a
workman in the shaft house, who gave
the alarm, and his body, when it struck
the bOttoHf of the winze, attracted the
attention of a man working in the
shaft.
The two workmen and Judge Bierer
found Mr.. Waterman lying in a semi
conscious condition halfway be-
tween the winze and the opening into
the shaft He regained his faculties
sufficiently to climb the seventy feet
UP the ladder, assisted by the two
workmen and Judge Bierer. When the

isfied himself that no bones We're
broken.
The dazed condition Of Mr.. Water
man caused the apprehension that he
was injured internally, and after he
had apparently gained his senses he
was brought to Salt Lake City as
quickly as possible, arriving here that
evening.
DR.. King, who is attending him, says
no bones are broken. and that as soon
as the three scalp wounds are healed
and Mr.. Waterman RECEIVERS from the
shack sustained by the awful fall. he
VIII be able to attend to business again.
Mr.. Waterman has no recollection of
the accident. The last thing he re-
members is entering the tunnel. From
that moment until almost two hours
after the fall his mind is blank He
does not recollect limbing up out of

ALExANDRIA's TOWN CLOCK.
Price of a Gambler Sold at Auction

New York SUM-

New York SUM-
Perhaps no clock in America has a
more interesting history than the one
in the steeple of the city hall and
market house in Alexandria, Va. 1t
was installed as the purchase price of
a gambler.
In the days before the war Alex
andria was known by the sporting fra
ternity as pretty rapid place. But
in these good old days it was square
games and no cheating in the town.
once, however, Alexandria was visited
by several professional gamblers from
the southwest in search for dupes, and
a respectable citizen, in an evil hour.
fell into the snare they set for him.
After a series of adverse games he
found himself feeced out of something
like $4,000.
He paid without any pickering. but
not very willingly. Then a lucky
thought enabled him to take his re-
venge On the chief blackIeg Some
how or other he learned that there
was an old law in Virginia, established
While she was yet colony, in which
it was provided that If any man could
not show that he was pursuing some
lawful means of obtaining a liveli-
hood" he should be sold or hired out
at auction, to prevent his maintenance
becoming chargeable to the town.
Going before a Justice of the peace
the citizen entered a complaint against
the gamester. The man was arrested,
tried and condemned to be sold at
public action. At first he was dis
posed to treat the matter as a huge
joke, but he found out his mistake
when he was taken to a public stand
and put up for sale.
The victim started the bid with:
Zone hundred dollars"
Two hundred" said the gambler.
And so the gamester and victim. went
on bidding until the amount had
reached $4,000. Then the gambler
begged to be let off, pleading poverty
but he pleaded in vain.
There was no alternative. The gam

he was knocked down to himself and
permitted TO leave the town. The cit

the city to be used for putting a clock
in the town hall.
The building was torn down a few
years ago to make room for a larger
and more imposing one. Not many of
the citizens knew the peculiar history
of the clock and steeple, but Captain
Edward Dangerfield was one who did.
He told the building committee that
he was. particularly DESTROYS of hav

the expense. His wishes were car

BOUNCED FROM
THE CHAMBER
Anna GouId's Husband Loses His
Seat in Parliament.
USUAL SCENE OF DISORDER
COUNT BoNI DECLARES HE WILL
COME BACK.

/ nARIS, Nov. After an exciting de-
bate the chamber of deputies today,
by a vote of 275 to 23S, invalidated
the election of Count Boni de Castel-
lane as a member of the house. The
question came up when the committee
on contested elections presented its re-
port without recommendation, leaving
the chamber to pass on the election.
NJ Chauvin made a bitter attack on
Count de Castellane, declaring he had
been guilty of irregularities and say
ing that the count had accused his OPP
ponent of being of German descent and
a Dreyfusard
Count de Castellane replied, CHASING
the charges as false. He said he had
been accused of buying the election
and practicing charity for election
purposes Nothing of the kind had
ever been proved, he declared. and
closed his defense with an appeal to
the chamber to uphold his election,
which, he asserted. truly represented
the wishes of the inhabitants of the
Bases Alpes district. The vote was
then taken.
During the debate there was much
disorder, the members of the left ap-
plauding the attack on Count de Cas-
tellane, and jeering at his reply, while
the counts republican associates gave
him hearty applause.
The result Of the vote necessitates
another election in the district
In the course of his speech NJ
Chauvin declared that Count de Cas-
tellane, in order to warm the en-
thusiasm of his partisans, abandoned
all his reserve and through his agents
gave unlimited credit in hotels, inns
and drinking places until the district
was gay with fetes and merriment dur
ing the campaign.
The count delivered his reply in We
hement tones and Indignantly repudi-
ated the accusations of NJ Chanvin,
which, he declared, were an attack up
on the integrity and honesty of his
constituency He explained further that
he had helped some poor workingmen's
organizations, but that he had asked
nothing in return.
When the president of the chamber
announced the result of the vote the
count arose and started for the door
His friends crowded around him, shak-
ing his hand. The business of the
chamber was suspended temporarily
while Count Boni was escorted to the
exit Just before he left the chamber
he turned and shouted defiantly: Gen

1T is DOUBTFUL
If Local Applications Alone Ever
Cured a Case of Catarrh.

Most remedies for the treatment of
cataTrh are in the form of sprays, in
halers, powders, washes or salves, all
purely local applications and many of
them often give temporary relief, but
the reason none of them ever really
cure chronic catarrh is because ca
tarrh is not local disease and it can
not be cured simply by treating the
local symptoms.
Moreover, the more serious forms of
catarrh, like catarrh of the stomach
and catarrh of the bronchial tubes,
cannot be reached at all by local APP
plications, and the fact that neglected
catarrh of the head very soon involves
the bronchial tubes, stomach and liver,
demonstrates that the disease is a
blood disorder, constitutional malady
and not at all a local disease.
To really cure catarrh the system
must be cleansed from catarrhal poison
by an internal remedy which acts eff
fectiVely upon the blood and liver
