The daylight fast train between
st. Louis and Chicago, just installed
by the Illinois Central road, is said to
be one of the finest in this country.
A man can eat breakfast in st. Louis,
his dinner on the train, and supper
in Chicago, and will have ride
through one of the finest countries in
the world and on train where he
will enjoy as much comfort as he
would in his parlor at home. There
is every home convenience, every
home comfort-a complete library
where he can find all the best books
and periodicals to read a parlor car,
a complete dining car, free reclining
chairs or coach without the chairs
if he so desires it.

BROKE ALL RECORDS.
Eorty-nine Murderers Convicted in
Eleventh District Out of
Fifty Cases Tried.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 25.-At its last ses-
sion the Mississippi legislature cre-
ated the eleventh circuit court dis
trict and Hon. Sam B. Cook of Clarks-
dale was appointed circuit judge and
Hon. Earl Brewer of Water Valley,
district attorney. During this brief
. incumbency these gentlemen have
broken all records for business, fifty
murder cases having been tried and
in every instance except one conviction
followed. Only two of the num-
ber, however, were hanged, the re-
mainder being sent to the peniten-
tiary for life or a long term, for the
average delta jury deems it an exceed
ingly unwise policy to waste able
bodied negroes on the gallows when
labor is so scarce in that section.
The last murder case in Judge
Cooks court was that of Phil Cole
man, charged with numbering his wife
in the Jonestown neighborhood about
two years ago, and the prisoner was
sent to the penitentiary for life.
During the trial a remarkable Incl
dent occurred. In order to show how
the bullets had pierced the woman s
body the clothing she wore at the
time of the murder was placed ON q
dummy obtained from clothing store
and brought into the court room.
When Coleman saw the counterfeit
presentment of his wife he thought il
was ghost without a head, and his
ebony hued complexion turned to an
ashen gray, and his frightened screams
could be heard for several blocks from
the court room.

DOWN AT BROOKLYN
The Picnic Last Saturday Highly
Enjoyed - Speeches and
Other Amusements.

Those who attended the picnic al
Brooklyn Saturday from this city re-
port a splendid time, plenty to eat and
a good time dancing.
This was intended to be a picnic
given by the employees of the Gulf and
Ship Island railroad, but as it was
with the conductors picnic that was
to have been given at Rawls' Springs
last week, sufficient cars could not be
had and the employees had to give up
their claim to it. However, many
people of the surrounding community
as we'll as many from this city and all
the candidates in the county met at
Brooklyn and as they were there and
had their dinners they concluded to
have a picnic of their own, and really
it was a nice affair.
Several speeches were made by the
different candidates present, some run
ming for state senator, representative,
Justice of the peace, supervisor and all
the way down the list and some
speeches in the matrimonial line.
Very near the entire day was spent in
the city on the banks Of Black Greek,
and no day ever passed off more pleas
antly than this one did to those who
were present and entered into the
amusements provided for their enjoy
ment.
