Railroad Building.

Some very interesting figures have
been compiled by Secretary Webb
of the railroad commission for Off
cial use. These figures show the
amount Of railroad building in the
State of Mississippi during the last
ten years. During the last four
wears the amount of railroad mileage
built in the State has been 1870,
most of it having been constructed
during the two years just past.
More mileage has been constructed
in the State during the last four
years than was built the six years
before. The total for the period
covered by Capt. Webb is 675.54.
The following roads have made the
increase in the State: Mobile, jack
son & Kansas City, Lake Cormorant
branch of the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley, and the Pearl 4
Leaf Rivers railroad. The report
made up by Capt. Webb shows the
following value of railroad property
and the amount of taxes paid:
This year the value is So, 4,9S9,534
as against $50, ,709,463 for the year
1902.
The ad valorem tax for the year
1908 was S2O9.937.20 as against
S1S4,256.17 for the year 1902.
The privilege tax for the year
1902 was S43,9S030 as against $685.

MINISTERS REBUKE WOMEN
Doctor Irwin Suggests That Society
Reporters Give Costumes of
Strube's Visitors.

Springfield, H., Dec. THE murder
er, Fred Strube, and the women who
have been attracted to the county Jail
since his Incarceration there, formed
the theme for several Springfield min
listers Sunday night In all instances
they deprecated the fact that women
had been moved by displays of such
sentiment over the young murderer,
and the order of the sheriff that the
jail doors be closed to women visit
orders hereafter was commended
Rev w r. Francis Irwin, pastor of
the Second presbyterian church, was
scathingly sarcastic. Referring to the
fact that number of women high in
society had driven to the Jail in car
riages and wept over the incarceration
of Strube, the minister said:
''If these receptions are to be made
society functions, let the newspapers
send their social writer's to them. Let
us have a full account of the affairs,
with the names and the costumes of
those present.

ANOTHER STRIKE BREWING
Chicago Street Railway Employees
Defy Manager McCulloch.
An Order Issued Prohibiting the
Wearing of Badges or But
tons Will Cause Trouble.

Chicago. Dec. 7.-Trainmen of the
Chicago City Railway are talking of a
second strike. The relations between
the union leaders and General Man.
ager McCulloch of the City Railway
Co. are becoming more strained each
day, and threats of a second walkoui
are heard on all sides among the work
ers.
Tie last straw, the officers of the
Wage Farmers" say, is a new set OF
rules formed by the company. These
regulations are declared arbitrary and
formed for the purpose of breaking
up the labor organization. The most
Objectionable of these is the rule
against union buttons:
This clause, which may reopen the
conflict, reads:
mo badge, button or insignia shall
be worn on the outside of uniforms by
trainmen on duty except the uniform
badges and buttons prescribed by the
company" This goes into effect to-
day, and will be rigidly enforced.
President Buckley of the union said
the men have been ordered to report
to-day wearing their buttons conspicu-
ously, and says that if one man is dis
charged all will have to share the same
fate.
There will be no one for him to dis
charge" Mr.. Buckley said, when asked
if the union would resist the order.
Every member of the union has been
instructed to report for duty to-day
with the button on his left breast in
full sight, as has been the custom.
Another rule to which the unions
take exception is the following:
''The soliciting of money by and
from employees of this company in the
nature of contributions, gifts, ETC., is
forbidden"
This, the employees say, is an attempt
to prevent them from contributing
money to other union men in distress.
Mr. McCulloch says, however, it is a
rule to protect the workers from the
annoyance of the swarm of beggars
that are canvassing the town almost
constantly.
When asked if he would reinstate the
so union men left idle after the strike,
Mr. McCulloch replied that he did not
want to reinstate any of them.

Fertilizer Analysis.

The Mississippi experiment eta
ton has Issued an instructive bulle-
tin on commercial fertilizers, show
ing the analyses OF the various
brands sold in the Mississippi mar
ket. The bulletin is issued by the
chemical department of the agricul-
tural college at Starkville, where the
analyses were made. The chemists
have been very diligent in their
work and very thorough, judging
from the exhaustive nature of the
report made. 1t covers the past
years business and viii prove valua-
Bile to the farmers of the State.
The chemical department finds
that it is becoming more generally
recognized each year. Fertilizer ma
terials can only be intelligently and
economically purchased on the basis
of their chemical composition. 1t
is coming to be recognized by the
farmers that the analysis should de-
termine the price. The department
finds that some manufacturers con-
tinue to manufacture low-grade
goods to catch the farmer who insists
on buying cheaper" brand. An
analysis is given to show the rela-
tive values of the standard brands
and the low-grade mixtures which
ses show that the relative value per
ses shows that the relative value per
ton of the standard and low-gradc
fertilizers is 1887 for the former
as against S15.05 for the latter, this
difference being caused by deficiency
in the proportions of potash and nj
trogen used in the manufacture OF
the various brands.
The bulletin contains the ANALYSES
of 162 Samples, which were taken
from goods in the open market by
the fertilizer inspector. OF this
number the chemists found that %
samples were below the guarantee in
one or more of the essential ele-
ments and in their relative CONNER
cial value. The department gives
warning that this percentage is too
large, and that some manufacturers
will find it necessary to exercise more
