whiteca piping warnlngs.

Evidence accumulates to show that
the whitecapping sentiment is still
on the rampage in certain South
Mississippi counties. Last week an
old negro came to Jackson from Lin
coin, bringing with him a notice to
leave which he had found in his yard
a few nights ago. 1t was threaten
ing in its tenor and gave him only
until January ] to comply. The
negro owns a little farm Of 100 acres
of land and was at loss what to
do, as between his interest and his
fright. The notice was shown to
Gov. Longino. The negro stated
that he was on his way to the Mis-
sissippi Delta to look out for a loca-
tion and to stay until he got more
reassurred Of protection. Other no
tices Of the same kind have been sent
up here by negroes who found them
stuck up in their yards in the split
Of stick. Following is the form
Of notice employed BY the terroriz-
ers: "You are hereby notified to
vaeate this place and leave this coun-
try BY January !, and do not make
It necessary to give a second notice."
Some Of the notices are written on
typewriters, evidently to render iden-
tification Of handwriting impossible.

knows he is in the right. The men who
viii do things is the man that attracts
the president and who secures what he

used to fight him is for party of anti

rounded by these men, he hears the
president villifed. scored and absolutely
rended. He goes away either Won 10

man is weak he goes to the enemy.
Roosevelt has secured much needed
legislation from the congress. True, he
failed in three things, Cuban reciprocity,
the canal and in Philippine legislation,
but that which he did secure was just
what the leaders in the congress said he
should not have It was a Roosevelt

jim YOUNGER's TEETH
On Exhibition in Rooms of Mime
apolis Historical Society.


st. Paul Mimi, March 25.-Although
Jim Younger is dead and buried at his
old Missouri home part of his body stiu
remains in the state of Minnesota.
At the time of the raid on the North
field bank, September 6. 1876 Jim
Younger received a serious wound in
the jaw as the result of a shot fired by
a citizen in pursuit of the robbers.
After the capture Jim was given inn
mediate medical attention by DR. Woods
Of Madelia, who found it necessary to
remove a part of the upper jaw, con-
tanning the four rear teeth.
Jim recovered. Being minus part of
his jaw, it was difficult for him to pro-
perly masticate his food and he suffer-
ed from stomach trouble as a result.
Numerous physicians tried to make
Younger a set of false teeth, but on ac-
count of the unusual and Jagged shape
of the Jaw none were successful until
finally, in 1884, DR.. J. /. Peregrine made
d plaster cast Of Jin's upper jaw and
succeeded in making a set of teeth for
which Jim ever afterwards gave
thanks.
Woods and eventually the plaster cast
used by DR.. Peregrine in making the
false teeth plate fell into the hands of
David Edwards of Minneapolis as cur
los.
In 1895 Mr. Edwards loaned the piece
of bone. to which the teeth are still
attached, and the plaster cast to the
state historical society for exhibition
And there they may now be seen

cient curiosity to inspect them

WHITE ON ROOSEVELT.
EmpOria Editor Discusses Influ-
ence Of the President.

William Allen White delivered an adj
dress last night in Kansas City in the
Temple Il Mai Jehudah, reviewing the
work of the congress just closed and
the influence of President Roosevelt
over it Among other things he said.
Ny talk tonight viii be a survey of
the things done and left undone by the
most important peace congress this
country has ever known. The session
just closed has been short one, and
the general impression has been that
the work of the congress has been un-
important, and that little has been done
because of the wlangling and tiHbus-
tering finish in the senate.
THE congress just closed has done
much important work, and one of the
great things about the work is that it
has done much that it said it would
not do. and il has done them at the be-
hest of a president whom the leaders
said they would not follow That lead
or is a man among men, although he
is like all Of us, fun of faults
Roosevelt has taken a peculiar stand
since NE has occupied the presidential
chair He has not acted always with
the calm, cool dignity that has been
generally supposed to be inseparable
from the chief executive, but has blazed
out for himself a new trail. and has
taken a new path. but it is one that
has been productive of much good He
stands today more in the light of the
peoples attorney. and as that ne has
taken firm hold on things that here
tofore have been considered outside the
pale of matters under the consideration
of the president.
Take. for example. the coal strike.
His action in intervening fin this strug-
gle between the operators and miners
was without warrant of written law,
but he considered the suffering of the
people and took the matter into his
own hands. He acted as a peace officer
and endeavored to stop the fight His
was the attitude of the paternal ruler
who places. his sense of personal duty
above laws, courts and constitutions. 1T
was a brave but dangerous thing to
do If there had been any trace Of
