THE HUNBER1S IN PARIS.
The Notorious Gang of Swindlers
Arrive at the French Capital
In Early Morning.
TAKEN TO THE cOHcItRGtRIE PRISON,
The ARRANGEMENTS for Their Reccp.
tion and Transfer From the
Madrid Train So Well Made that
No Turbulence or Demonstration
of An, Kind Occurred.

Paris, Dec. sa.--The members of the
Humbert family who were recently
arrested in Madrld.in connection with
the great safe frauds in this city, ar.
rived at Orleans railroad station here
at 7:40 o'clock Monday morning.
There was no demonstration. The
prisoners were conducted TO the Con.
ciergerie prison.
The arrival of the fugitives was de.
void of sensational incidents. as the
French police had chosen an hour for
their return here when Paris was
only half awake. The crowd at the
railroad station was comparatively
small, but large force of police and
soldiers, mounted and on foot, was
drawn up in front of the station and
guarded all street approaches to pre-.
vent the possibility of popular dem.
onstration. A number of the chief
functionaries of the prefecture were
on hand to personally superintend the
prisoners arrival.
Through Double Police Lines.
The men and women OF the Hum
bert party were kept separate on the
trip from Madrid 10 Paris. and they
were brought from the train in two
separate parties. The women came
first, leaning on the arms of. officers.
Nine. Humbert was dressed in black
and was yeiled, but was recognized by
her stout figure. Her young daugh-
ter Eva was the most pathetic look
ing of the women Mime. Humbert
was followed by her sister Marie, who
did not show the bravndo she exhib-
tied at Madrid, but was pale and APP
peared disconsolate. Frederick Hum
bert, Mime. Humbert's husband,
looked completely broken down. Ro-
main D'Aurignac and his wife, Emile,
maintained the calm, defiant attitude
they had shown throughout. NJ
D'Aurignac still wore a Spanish beard
which had served him as disguise.
Men and women Kept Separate.
The prisoners passed through dou-
bic lines of police to the carriages in
waitings Detachments Of mounted
police surrounded the vehicles, which
were driven at a rHttliHg pace
through the gathering crowds to the
Conciergerie, where minute prepara-
tions had been made to receive the
prisoners. The return of The Hum
berts to Paris is the absorbing topic
for discussion throughout the city,
indeed through France, for no event
since the return of Dreyfus has
aroused such intense interest. All
classes of society are equally inter
ested as the Humberts' operations
were so colossal aud so interviewer
with some of the foremost personages
in France that their return was
viewed with apprehension. Crowds
from all parts of the city were ready
TO assemble at the station and give
the prisoners a disorderly reception,
but the secrecy of tffe police Daffied
the plans of the mobs and permitted
the Humberts to be landed silently
and swiftly inside the grey walls OF
the prison.

Original Land Grants

Hon. L. f. Edwards, clerk of the
Chancery Court at Cleveland, last
week received three very interesting
documents, fled by Mrs. NIL. Beard
Of Clarksdale, Miss, for record.
They arc original land grants, signed
by the President of the United
States, Martin Van Buren,, on the
10th day of December, 1910, giving
to Augustus S. Campbell, of Talle-
hatchie county, Miss, his heirs and
assigns forever, the east half OF the
northwest quarter of section Z, in
township rs, of range 8 west, in the
district of lands subject to sale at
Chocchuma, Miss, containing 80
and 17-100 acres !; the second giving
to William S. Bodley of Warren
county. Miss, the south half of Sec
ton z, in township %, of range 5
west. in the district of lands subject
TO sale at Chocchuma, Miss, contain
ing 800 66-1oo acres; the third
granting to John B. Davis and John
A. Lane, assignees of Samuel Neill,
the west half Of the northwest quar-
Ter of section Z, in township rs,
range west, containing so acres.
These documents are the oldest that
have ever been filed for record in
that district, being drawn sixty-fve
years ago. This is the only record
of this subdivision of land ever filed
in Bolivar county, and the wonder is
why it has never been done before.
The paper is as stout as parchment
and bears a peculiar seal, the i'm
preston being made on a separate
paper and affixed with sealing wax to
the record

whItecappIng warnings.

Evidence accumulates to show that
the whitecapping sentiment is still
on the rampage in certain South
Mississippi counties. Last week an
old negro came to Jackson from Lin
coin, bringing with him a notice to
leave which he had found in his yard
a few nights ago. 1t was threaten
ing in its tenor and gave him only
until January / to comply. The
negro owns little farm of $50 acres
of land and was at loss what to
do, as between his interest and his
fright. The notice was shown to
Gov. Longino. The negro stated
that he was on his way to the Mis-
sissippi Delta to look out for loca-
tion and to stay until he got more
reassurred of protection. Other no
tices Of the same kind have been sent
up here by negroes who found them
stuck up in their yards in the split
Of stick. Following is the form
of notice employed by the terroriz-
ers: "You are hereby notified to
yaeate this place and leave this coun-
try by January l, and do not make
It necessary to give second notice" !"
Some Of the notices are written on
typewriters, evidently to render iden-
tification Of handwriting impossible.

ohancellorshlp Contest.

Interest is developing in the chan
cellorship of the Seventh chancery
district, which is presided over by
Judge McC. Kimbrough, whose term
will expire in April next. The
friends of Judge Kimbrough have
been active, however, and have al
ready taken the field to secure his
reappointment. A petition asking
for his reappointment has been filed
with Gov. Longino. 1t is signed by
the bar of the district with the ex-
ception of the bar of Sunflower coun-
ty, which solidly supports Mr.. Moody
of Indianola, who is the only appli-
cant against Judge Kimbrough. As
there is yet over three months Of the
term to be filled out it is hardly
probable that Gov. Longino will take
the matter up for some weeks.

CAUTIONl

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale OF any medicine In the
world since 1868 for the cure and
treatment Of consumption and throst
and lung troubles without losing it's
great popularity all these years, you
will be thankful we called your atten-
tion to Boschee's German syrup.
There are so many ordinary cough
remedies made by druggists Iand 9TH
ers that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe coughs,
bronchitis, croup-and especially for
consumption, where there is difiioult
e1pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
