The Want Of Appreciation.

There is an old story about the farmer
and his wife who we're not satisfied with
their home and decided to put their
farm in the hands OF an agent for sale.
Soon thereafter they read Of beautiful
place which they decided would exactly
suit them. They called on the agent
only to find that it was their own farm
they had so much admired and as the
agent had stated the facts they with
drew it from the market. They had
overlooked the good things around them
until Stranger had pointed them out.
This is very common experience. We
usually think the other fellow has the
easier time OF better business because
we don't know all about his troubles or
disadvantages and because we don't fully
appreciate our good things.-Yazoo City
Sentinel.

Hon. F. A. Critz, West Point, Miss:
"Dear Sir--In circular distributed
through the mails over this State you
say that you have heard of no demands
for my candidacy for the Office Of Gov
ernor in West Point or Clay County.
You have circulated the report that you
would carry Clay County almost solidly,
and that the announcement of my can
,didacy fell nat in West Point. You
clainthat my announcement was great
wrongand injustice TO you, and that 1t
was not warranted or supported by any
body except q certain faction. You and
! have for many years lived in the same
community. The Democrats OF Clay
County and West Point win not counte-
nance or tolerate wrong or injustice
in anyone. They. know US both.
They know our personal rotations. They
fully understand the conditions under
which you declined to run for Congress
six years ago. They know the motives
which actuated me in entering this con-
test. They constitute the best tribunal
to settle controversy between us. So far
as am concerned, II am not indorsed
by the Democrats Of West Point and
Clay, County, who have known me long
est and best, do not feel that ought to
ask or expect the suffrages of my fellow
citizens in other parts of the State. II
you feel the same way about it, and will
ing to submit to the decision OF our
neighbors, respectfully suggest that
we unite in request TO the Democratic
Executive Committee Of Clay County to
call, at an early day, to be named by
them, special Democratic primary
election Of the county, the expenses Of
which shall be paid equally by US, and
that we submit to the arbitrament Of
those best qualified to determine the is
sues between us.

70 JUDGE cRITz.

!, The Echo's news columns
Id week will be found an open
- 's,ier from Hon. A. +. Fox, of
aIsst Point, candidate for Gov
,vpOr, addressed to Judge f. A..
rritz, his opponent, from the
sane locality.
Mr.. Fox's letter is candid and
honest, and explains itself in no
{ .oeertain manner. In it there IS
s,,cl 10 commend itself and shows
,ouclusively the true ring of the
natal the man is composed Of. It
.bovs without doubt the conf
aeuce and security Mr.. Fox feels
Il the object which prompted
his coming out for the office,
.samely, that he was invited to
make the race at the instance Of
the people. As such a choice he
has entered the race and as such
be will be elected.
This letter must come to the
enemy like a bursting bombshell
falling in the very midst of their
camp, yet very natural to those
who know Mr.. Fox best.
There is. nothing faint-hearted
IN Mr., @Fox's answer to Judge
Critz's charge, but a vigorous and
manly challenge, which lnjects in
to the gubernatorial campaign at
this stage a13etif.ed new interest.
Judge Cfitz's answer is awaited
with eager interest, although there
remains only one alternative
should he decide to "try conclu-
sions" IN the manner suggested,
else he should withdraw. Having
forced the issue he must now meet
It. In'any event, at this period,
Judge Critz will have to withdraw
either voluntarily or after the
special primary.

when ne raise up and asked what was
the matter. Jack Barnes, the postoffice
swindler, walked up to his cell an stuck
a big pistol through the crack and told
him to keep quite as a churchya rd If he
did not want his head blow n off. The
negro subsidized, as ma tier of course.
About that time the ne gro heard Jailer
Armstrong unlock the door that leads to
the second story. The caboose robber,
Gearge Thomas, also heard him, and
slipped to the head of the stairs, pistol
presented. That he would have killed
the iailer there is no doubt. The mon
are all desperate characters and would
not have let little thing like the life
OF one man stand between them and lie
berty for moment.
"Uncle Bob is TO be Congratulated
that he remained on the first floor, and
Begorrah, he is no doubt very glad that
he did.
HAD AN AcCoMPLIcE.
OF course some one or all Of these es-
capped prisoners had an accomplice.
They could not have had these files and
saws and pistols in the Jail all this time
without the jailer knowing something
about 1t. One Of the negro prisoners
states that bundle was pulled in over
the fence that separates the Jail from the
gas house yard few nights ago, and
that Mcdonald explained that It was a
bundle Of clothes. 1t very probably
contained the saws and the weapons.
The general impression is that wo-
man is at the bottom Of the trouble. II
is known that Maud Hudson, the women
who last stood before Hymen's altarwith
Mcdonald, who is said TO have been
his fourth or fifth wife, and who is
known to have been at least the second
now living, has been in the habit 'of vi
sitting him at the Jail. She was ordered
to stay away a few days ago, and since
that time the jailer has not seen her.
When. informed by the police morn
ing that Mcdonald was out of jail she
expressed very great surprise as well as
regret that he had escaped, but few
minutes later was heard rejoicing over
the same incident.
SEARCH BEING MADE.
The police do not seem to believe that
the prisoners have gone far. They left
the Jail with pieces Of blankets or un-
dershirts wrapped about their feet, their
shoes being left behind. 1t is evident
they could not travel far thus manacled,
but 1t Is probable their friends on the
outside had provided them with what
they might need on hasty journey.
Several members Of the police force have
been on the hunt for the men since
but so far, have found no trace, except
that their tracks bore in the direction OF
Duttoville. Officers OF neighboring 3
towns should be on the watch, and on
their guard also, as 1t is probable all the
escaped men are well armed, and, being
desperate will shoot to kill if given the
opportunity.

TRAYL0R HAD CUT
WAGES OF MINERS,
That Was why They Wanted to
Drive Him Away.

Wells, New, Jan. additional de-
tails have been received here regard
ing the tragedy enacted at keystone
mine, where the twelve union miners
attacked superintendent Traylor for
the alleged purpose of running him out
death or wounding of several of the
miners participating.
Since n branch of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners was organized a few
weeks ago at Eli, the miners are said
to have taken a decisive stand I'm labor
matters, the particular object of their
wrath being the New York and Ne
vada Company Superintendent John
A. Traylor, who was formerly connect
ed with the Fernando Mining Company
of Durango. Mex, and also with the
Union Copper and Gold Hill mines of
North Carolina, had been notified on
several occasions that he had better
leave the camp, presumably because he
had recently ordered a reduction in his
employees wages. kilograms We're sent
to New York, it is said, threatening to
flood the mines and take other stern
measures unless the superintendent
was removed.
A delegation finally presented Tray
lOr with an ultimatum to be signed
and agreed to within twelve hours.
Later it is charged President Lloyd of
the miners union and a committee of
the miners went to Traylors office and
asked him to so along quietly. or they
would be compelled to take him dead
or alive. Traylor endeavored to ar
que with the men. but Lloyd ordered
his companions to seize the superin-
tendent and bring him along. The
men started for Traylor, who COM
menced shooting.
At the first shot the miners made a
dash for the door. The names of the
men that were shot and killed are

DROPPED BURNING MATCH
INTO A VAT OF Oil.
Fire a boy Started Destroyed $780,
900 of Property.


London, Ont, Jan. 9.-One of the
most disastrous fires in the history of
this city occurred tonight in the i'm
mense plant of the McClary Manu-
featuring Company.
A boy working in the stamping de-
partment dropped a burning match
into svat of oil, and with a report
like a cannon the oil went up in a
sheet of flame. Like flash it spread
to the ceiling of the room of the first
floor and the employees rushed from
the building in a panic, In this por-
ton of the works were located the
stamping room with 100 presses, the
tinsmith department, the japaning de-
partment, the artists department and
the wrapping rooms, where tinware is
made ready for market.
About 500 men, women and boys were
in the building. They made a rush
for the elevator and the stairs, and
in a terrible rush, scorched, bruised
and smoke begrimmed they reached
the street, but none was seriously in
jured. The fire burned furiously for
hours, the firennen being utterly unable
to cope with it.
When the first brigade arrived the
MIGRANTS were found to be frozen, and
when the water was turned into the
hose the pressure would not throw the
streams fifty feet. The fire burned it.

The loss is 100000. The McClary
