DROWNED.
Harry frost Committed Suicide
~ Jumping from County
Bridge Saturday.

The city was startled Saturday
afternoon by the suicide of Mr..
Harry frost, who jumped from
the iron bridge at the foot of
Main street into the Tombigbee
river, the fatal deed having been
committed about 4:15 p. M, the
watch taken from the-d dead mans
body registering that time. At
the time of the suicide there were
several people crossing the
bridge, and eye witnesses state
that Mr.. frost came down the
street from the direction of the
city and walked rapidly until the
center of the structure was
reached, when he climbed over
the railing and plunged deliber-
ately in the water below. He
struck the water with thud, his
body rising several times before
finally disappearing into its
watery grave.
Immediately after the suicide a
search for the body was inaugu-
rated and IN a short time it was
located at spot at least one
hundred yards below the bridge
by Joe Johnson. fisherman
living near the river. 1t was
brought to the shore and turned
over to relatives of the deceased
and later was.prepared for burial.
Mr.. frost, who for several
years past has been living in Bir-
was a native of this
city and was a member of one of
our most prominent Jewish fami-
les having been son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. frost. Members of the
family state that there was no
reason on earth for him to COM
nit suicide, and attribute tempo
'ary insanity as the only possible |
of the rash deed. He
vas in good circumstances and |
was we'll supplied with money, |
4 pocketbook containing S94 80 in I
sash and a number of negotiable |
notes having been found in his
pockets. The cash and other
zaluables were turned over to
Mayor Gunter, who, together with
Mr.. ]. w. Steen, made an ihven-
ory of the articles and later
urned them over to the family.

The Best Rem edy for Group

This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
one of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case of Group,
as revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be an oldfash-
ioned remedy for Group. known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern moth
ers say that Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy is better. and don't cost SO much. 1t
causes the patient to "throw up the
phlegm" quicker, an d gives relief in a
shorter time. Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For
sale by all druggists.

A cabin in the third ward own
ed by Mrs. p. ]. Maxwell and
occupied by a negro named Mary
Jane Wilkison, was destroyed by
fire about nine O'Clock last Fri
day morning. The fire had made
good headway before the alarm
was turned in and the efforts of
the department to save the struc-
ture proved futile. The loss was
somewhere in the neighborhood
of $50. 90.

MAIL SERVICE
On Star Routes to be improved.
Two Mails Daily Between
Columbus and Caledonia.

Mr.. w. j. Carr, assistant su-
perintendent of Rural Mail Ser
vice, spent several days of the
past week in the city, and in con
versation with Commercial re-
porter stated that the rural mail
service in the county is to be
greatly improved. Contracts for
carrying the mails over the Dun
bar and Caledonia routes will be
let on December first, next, the
term of the new service to begin
July 1st., 1904. Under the terms
of the new contract the service
between Columbus and Gale
donia will be dot BILE daily, that is
carriers will leave both ends of
the line twice each day, in the
morning and afternoon. This
service will of course be of great
benefit to the people of Caledonia
and the surrounding territory, as
there are three rural routes out of
Caledonia and parties living on
these routes will receive their
mail soon after it reaches CO.
lumbus.
Under the rules of the Postoffice
department parties receiving
contracts for carrying mail over
star routes must live on or con-
tiguous to the routes which they
control, and as both the Caledo-
MIA and Dunbar routes go out of
this city there is no reason why a
Columbus man should not secure
both contracts. For the informa-
ton Of those who may desire to
bids The Commercial |
states that the bond required on
the Caledonia route is 100000 |
and on the Dunbar route S800.00. /

It is an assured fact that there il
hardly a place in the world where the
united forces of the government and
the individual planters are doing Sc
much for the protection of their agri-
cultural interests as in Java. The gov
eminent has had established for many
years a most elaborate, botanical ex-
perimental station, in connection with
the famous botanical gardens of Butt
enzorg, located at an elevation OF about
1900 feet and distant about thirty miles
from Batavia on the west end of the
island. In connection with these gar
dens, are nursery gardens located at
various attitudes on the slope of the
mountains. There is also a great lab
oratory. where botanists and scientists
from all parts of the world meet to
study.
The Javan Planters Association has
two central experimental
stations, one located in the middle part
of Java. on the northern coast, at
Pekalongan, and called the West Java
Experimental Station, and the other
at Soerabaya, called the East Javan
Experimental Station. These stations
are under the control of working staff

the Buitenzorg Station comprises all
tea, indigo. tobacco and sugar cane.
There is also a smaller central expert
mental station located in the middle
interior of Java at Klatten: the scope
of this station is not confined to sugar
alone but includes especially tobacco
and indigo.
During my visit to Java, 1 received
the following statements from the
Curator, Dr. wigman, and the Botan-
list, DR.. Kramers. at Buitenzorg Botani-
cal Gardens: DR.. Jensen and the as

FOR PLANTERS AND BUSINESS
MEN
Mr.. Swanzy. for the Chamber of Com
merce and the Planters Association,
one was of the opinion that the peril
was imminent, and it was necessary to
defend the islands from insect pests.
The suggestions as to Federal aid were
good enough, but they do not go far
enough, and they might as well be set
aside and the people should decide to
defend themselves. There are many
pests but more may come, and even
worse ones.
The only way to secure protection
was by the most careful attention to
plants and soils that may come here,
and the Commissioner of Agriculture
should be an entomologist, clothed with
full power to inspect and destroy
wherever he saw danger He said there
%hould be penalties to prevent any in
fraction of the law. He went over the

by insect pests. He then read the fol-

THE GRAND LODGE
OF Odd Fellows Will Meet Hers
in May.

The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
will convene in this city on 9th, 9th
and 10th of May, and the local lodge
is preparing to give the delegates a
grand reception. During the last two
months the lodge here has nearly
doubled its membership and the inter-
est in the work has not in anyway lost
any of it's power, for at the last meet
ing Grand Warden Menger, of Vicks
burg, was present and addressed them
and six or more were ushered through
the mysteries Of the order and several
new applications balloted on.
The Odd Fellows of the state are a
strong and growing order and among
them are enrolled some of the states
best and most promising citizens.
From the information received here
by the local lodge large attendance
is expected which will be increased by
the army of candidates announced for
state offices, who are all seeking to
know the mysterious workings of each
Odd Fellows mind as to his position
towards him for the office to which
he aspires.
