A. W. Morrill,, entomologist, from

one day in Brownsville this week
investigating the boil weevil He
hired a tall horse and rode around

the strange sights he met. 1t is not
known whether ne secured any
snapshots of the festive weevil
having wide horns, bleared eyes,
long curling tails and stilt-like
legs a Ia Texas steers, as samples
to exhibit in the Smithsonian In
stitute for scientific investigation,
but he stated to a reporter for The
HERALD that he discovered the
weevil here; that they are very
pronounced; in evidence everywhere
and that be will so report to the
department of agriculture. We
conclude, therefore, they are here
"in mournful numbers" However,
Cameron county raised some mighty
fine cotton crops this year, some
farms yielding a bale and half to
the acre. Mr.. Morrill, came down
on the train from Rio Grande City
Tuesday night and left this morn

weeyil on rampage in the naked
cotton fields of Mexico as he reclin-

FLOATER FOUND AT LAST.

The body of Mrs. Tapp, the wife and mother of the man and child, who lost their lives in White river during the cyclone in the early part of April, was found Sunday about quarter of a mile below the point where the house boat of Dock Bentley, upon which the family were living, was sunk.
 The remains were badly decomposed, the fish having eaten much of the flesh, and were buried that day within half a mile of where the husband and son were inferred, the high water making it impossible to bury the fam fly together.
 The Tapp family lived near Auver- gne and the body of the woman was hunted for weeks, ha"ing been forty eight days in the water when found.
 H. H. Dietz of the Dietz mill was in town Friday and kindly favored the INDEPENDENT reporter with this item of news.

NEWPORT MEMBERS PROMINENT

At the meeting of the Arkansas state bar association in Little Rock Tuesday and Wednesday, several Newport at torneys took quite a prominent part in the proceedings.
 Silas D. Campbell delivered an in- teresting address on ''Some Needed Reforms in the Criminal Law" in which he discussed the nature of crime and it's punishment, and then pointed out some needed reforms.
 Hot Springs was recommended as the next meeting place, Joseph M. Stayton being elected vice president from the state at large and s. D. Campbell from the Third judicial dis trict, the latter being also a member of the judiciary committee.
 At an elegant banquet, which wound up the convention, J. M. Stayton re- sponded happily to the toast "Wise Laws and Modern Instances"
 Judge M. M. Stuckey was one of the newly elected members of the associ- ation.

FEAR OF CYCLONE
 CONTINUES EXODUS.
Negroes Still Leaving Doomed City To Escape Destruction Foretold By Negro Prophecies Ellen
 Burnett Jefferson.

Pine Bluff, May According to the prophecy of Ellen Burnett Jeffer- son, the negro prophecies, who has been taken to Little Rock, Pine Bluff will be destroyed by fearful tornado tomorrow (Friday) evening. The ex- act hour when the storm will come has not been announced, but, to a slight extent, the woman has mapped out the program. About p. m., she says, one may look to the south and see a terrible black cloud whirling to- ward this city. It is sceduled to ar rive about two hours afterward. She has given this cloud the name of "Destruction, and says it will meet another cloud, 'Death," just over the city. The clouds will come together With crash, and this crash will be the deathknell of a good portion of the city, at least. Just what portion the vic tim of visions and dreams knows not.
 The weather conditions of the past two weeks, common at this time of year, were described in advance by ] the negress, who said that the days would be cloudy, with probably little sunshine, and some rain. The morn ing hours of today were such as to add new terror to the hearts of the fright ened. Black clouds novered about and badly needed rain fell. News of the slight storm at Little Rock and this mornings weather persuaded many who were heretofore hesitating, and the largest exodus of the season was witnessed today. Negroes who were asked today if they would leave tomorrow, almost invariably answer ed: ''I sho' ain't gwine leave tomor- rah, Ise gwine ketch de fust train out ov town terday, eff kin fin room on hit.n
 This affair comes at time when it works peculiar hardship on planters in this section, but greatly rebounds to the advantage of planters in other  sections. Already suffering from an insufficient amount of labor at criti- cal period in the working of their crops, the forces of planters here- abouts are further depleted by the vagaries of this alleged prophecies. There is not a manufacturing plant in the city, or any place where negroes are employed in numbers, that is not suffering from the effects of the ex- citement.
 Instead of the weather outlook for tomorrow being ominous, it is the contrary, and Friday, 29th inst, in Pine Bluff, promises to be a typical day of early summer. The amount of tornado insurance written in the past five days by Pine Bluff insurance agents easily rivals that written just after the Fort Smith and St. Louis disasters, at which time the local in- surance agents broke all past records here.

CROCKETT WILL NOT

Secretary of State Crockett, when questioned in regard to his attitude respecting the wholesale slaughter of acts by the Governors recent veto message, said that he would consider the proclamation as official and re- fuse to print the enactments affected unless mandamus proceedings are be- gun to test the validity of the procla- nation and the Supreme court should hold that each of the vetoed measures should be incorporated in the printed acts. Attorney General Murphy says that he considers this course the proper one to force the issue.

Hts Laat Hope Realized.

fFrom the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.l
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad wa ter. which. together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be- came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony. and in few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and with in an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for fortnight. This one little bottle worked complete cure, and he cannot but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists.
