In this day in Mississippi, when
the negro has ceased to cut figure
in politics, it is strange to hear the
statement made that he is the bal
ance Of power in any community,
but this is said to be the case in
Oxford. 1t seems that in that town
the white primary has not been in

it is scrub race at the polls. There
are not SO many negroes registered
there, but there are few, and these
few are the balance of power and

are now agitating the holding Of
white primaries in order to deprive
the negro voter of the balance of

JERSEY CATTLE At THE FAIR
Forty Head r Representing the Finest
Specimens On Earth.
Herd Is to Represent the Jersey
Breed at worlds Fair 10 Test
Mlk-PrOducIng Qualities.

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-THE Louisiana
Purchase committee of the American
Jersey Cattle club visited the fair
grounds recently to inspect the herd
of Jersey cattle which has just been
quartered in the northwestern one oil
the cattle barns just south OF the
Horticulture building.
Forty Jersey cattle, including two
world-famous Jersey bulls, are now
housed in the barn mentioned. They
are In the care of c. T. Graves, OF
Maitland, Mo-, and a corps of expert
enced helpers, including Rolla Oliver,
who figured in a similar capacity
at number of previous expositions.
Each of the COWS is registered in the
American Jersey club herd register,
and has pedigree that dates hack for
some ten generations of cows. Each
is marked carefully by its owner,
either with tattoo marks, with metal
ear tags or with metal tags locked
about the horns. The owners of the
cows live all over the United States,
from Portland, Ore, to Portland, Me.
Dorinda's Darling, the property of the
Ladd estate, of Portland, Ore, occu-
pies a stall besides CONAN the VII, OF
Hoods Farm. the property of G. l.
Hood, the millionaire patent medicine
manufacturer of Lowell Mass. The
Blossom of Florence, owned by H. F.
Probart, of Jackson, Mich, stands be-
side Eastlake Girl, owned by r. A.
S.bley, of Rochester N. Y. Every one
of the cowes comes from stock that
have made butter and milk records
for decades past Thomas w. Lawson,
the Boston millionaire, from his farm
"Dreamwold; Dr. Charles e. Still,
the osteopath of KiIksville, Mo-; Frank
W. Hart, of Cleveland, o., and A. G.
Anton, of Chicago, all of whom are
rich, who farm Jersey cattle for the
mere pleasure of the pursuit, have
cows in the herd,
The two bulls that head the herd
have even longer records than the
COWS. They may be said to be the
finest male specimens of the breed on
earth. One. Mary Maiden's Third
Son, a gray-coatcd animal owned by
II. c. Taylor. of Orfordville, Wis, is p
the product of Mary Maiden, the cham
pion butter COW of the Chicago Worlds
fair. His sire is Brown Bessie's Son,
whose mother was the winner of the
90 days test at the Chicago fair. This
bull is considered to be one of the
best of American-bred Jersey bulls
The other bull is Flying Fox's Foxhall,
owned by Thomas w. Lawson. He
was sired by the Champion, Flying
Fox, and was bred in the Isle of Jersey.
This herd is to represent the Jersey
breed of cattle in demonstration at
the Worlds fair to test the milk-pro-
ducing qualities of different breeds OF
cattle This herd will compete with
the pick of the Holstein-Friesian, the
Ayrshire and the Brown Swiss breeds.
In this test each COW is to be charged
up with the amount of feed consumed
by it and be credited with the amount
of milk it produces. The milk will be
tested for quantity and richness in
butter fat

Adams has not yet completed this
report, but expects to have it ready
shortly. While the exact figures
cannot be had at this time, the re-
port will show nearly a million dol
lars of back taxes paid into the

SHERIFF HELD Up
BY TWO BANDITS
They Capture Officer While He Is
Trying to Make Arrest.
TAKE HIS WEAPON AND MONEY
At Point of Revolver They Compel
Him 10 Board Moving Train,
Then They Rob station
and Escape.

Galena, Kas,, Dec. 1.-Two bandits
held up Sheriff Charles l.. Raines of
Cherokee county in the station at Bax-
ter Springs early Sunday morning and,
after relieving him of all his money
and revolver, compelled him to board
a train which was just pulling out Of
the city. When it had sped on its
way with the minion of the law the
desperadoes walked into the station
and took everything of value, while
the agent stood against the wall with
his hands elevated above his head.
Afterwards the bandits escaped in a
livery rig.
Sheriff Raines was on his way to
Columbus. He departed from here
shortly after II o'clock. About three
miles out from Baxter Springs he no
ticed a man whom he recognized as
Clarence Cunningham, who was amo !,
the six men who recently broke Jail
at Columbus
When the train stopped at Baxter
Springs Cunningham left the coach and
entered the depot Sheriff Raircs,
bent on making the capture, did not
lose sight Of his man, but followed hin,
into the station.
The SheriH Held Up.
No sooner had they both entered
than the sheriff drew his revolver and,
covering the fugitive, declared:
Cunningham, want you"
Cunningham did not say word or
move out of his tracks. but instantly
confederate, whom Sheriff Raines
had not noticed, whipped out his re-
volver and leveled it on the officer
''Not SO fast General" exclaimed
the bandit. Throw up your own
hands. You don't want any prisoners
around here"
Raines saw that he was cornered
and there was 70 use to fight. for he
would have been shot to death, and
the only thing he could possibly do
would be to kill Cunningham. so up
went his hands and the robbers
searched him. While the unident, fed
man kept him covered, Cunningham
relieved him of the revolver, his watch
and 81 in money.
Cunningham and his companion then
marched the officer out of the station
to the train, which was pulling out,
and commanded him to board It.
AS the train steamed away the Mold
ups tossed Raines' revolver into the
vestibulte after him, with the exc'a,
nation:
Here, take your little gun; it's TOO
small for our business!"
They Rob Station Agent.
1t seems that little or no comr,otion
was caused by the proceeding, for the
bandits re-entered the station, where
the agent was still at work
= Cunningham covered the agent with
a revolver and commanded him to
Zine up against the WALL which he
did promptly without any parley, whll9
the unidentified man searched the till,
taking all it's contents
From the station they procec cd
downtown to livery stable, where
they engaged teamNto drive out in
the country to look at some cattle
which they said they wished to by.
They said they would be back by seven
o'clock to catch train. They drove
out of town and. of course, have not
returned.
