SENATOR VIM. }. STONE
Says the Democratic Party Does Not
Need Recognizing, but Some
Of the Men Dc.

Senator VIM. }. Stone, being
asked by a representative of the
Republic as to the future of the
Democratic party, said:
Il prefer not to make prophecies
as to paramount issues for 1904. "
Asked as to the probable make
up of the next Democratic presi.
dental ticket, he said:
Il do not think Mr.. Bryan will
be nominated, nor do | think that
he either expects or desires the
nomination. If any effort is being
made to eliminate him it will fail,
for he is still undoubtedly the most
commanding individual force in
the party. He cannot be elimi.
mated, and any effort in that direc-
ton will recoil on those attempting
it. The business of eliminating
people from the party is not the
business ! want Democrats to en-
gage in. 1t would he more profit.
able to get men into instead of get
ting them out of the party. We
have plenty of able men who would
make safe, conservative Presidents,
although they might not indulge
in such crratic strenuosities as
would keep the country on the tip
toe of some dread expectancy.
The Democratic candidate for
President must be Democrat who
has always supported his party
ticket--a party man, who, if elect
ed, would give us a stalwart Demo
cratic administration.
1t is not necessary that a man
should have subscribed uncondi-
tionally to every declaration of the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms.
1t is sufficient if he has always
stood Loyalty by his party flag.
Talk of reorganizing the Demo.
cratic party is puerile und silly.
Some men may need reorganizing,
but the party does not. "
When asked what he thought of
the recent talk to the effect that
the regular Democrats were insist
ing on too many concessions from
Gold Democrats who wanted to
come back into the party, Senator
Stone said;
so far as these people getting
into the party is concerned, ! want
every one there, 1t is no question
of repentance, sackclOth and ashes.
The doors are open, and if Il man
wants to co operate with the Demo
cratic party all he has to do is to
get into line with the party. There
is no form of doing it that | know
of cXccpt to do it "

KILLED WILLIAM YEATS.
Night Marshall Jackson Shot Man,
Who Was Advancing On Him
With Knife.
WAS TRYING TO ARREST HIN,

William Yeats, II tie maker liv-
ing in tent south Of town, was
shot und killed while resisting ar
rest, by Night Marshal WInt jack
son about 1870 O'Clock Saturday
evening. Yeats had started n row
in the Meyer & Rickus saloon,
with n tramp peddIer. The ped
dler went outside and Yeats fol-
lowed him and knocked him down on
the side. walk. Jackson, who was
standing near, placed his hand on
Yeats shoulder and told him that
he was under arrest. Yeats then
struck at Jackson with large
knife and inflicted n severe cut on
Jackson's left arm near the
shoulder Jackson attempted
to subdue Yeats with his billy and
struck him several hard blows on
the forehead but they had no
effect. Yeats then broke ground
and started out the street between
the saloon and the Gossom build
ing. jackson followed him and
shouted to him to stop, at the same
time firing his revolver in the air.
Yeats stopped and advanced again
with his knife, but when Jackson
would present his revolver he
would turn and run. jackson
again fired in the air and Yeats
faced about only to turn aud run
again. By this time they had
reached a point half way up the
block running north from Boswell
a. Helber's store. Jackson was
within few feet of Yeats ard
shouted to him to stop or he would
shoot aud kill him. Yeats turned
aud said, Yes, and I'll kill you, -
and started towards him with the
knife. Jackson fired and Yeats
fell.
Several people had arrived on
the sceae, aud noticing the blood
flowing from the wound in Jack
son S arm, they at once hurried
him to the Office of Drs, McCor-
mick and Branning, where the
wound was dressed The cut was
a very severe one, and by medical
testimony, produced at the inquest,
it would have proved fatal within
30 minutes in the absence OF mcdi-
cal attention.
The left shoulder of Jackson's $
ovcrcoat was cut to shrcds, and
the left hand pocket was filled with
blood.
Yeats died within n few minutes
after being shot. The body was
carried to Nedert's undertaking
establishment, where it remained
over night and all day Sunday.
Coroner Evans was summoned
from Bonnc Terre and the inquest
was held Sunday afternoon at >
O'Clock. The jury first viewed the
body at the undertaking shop, and
then adjourned to the Court House
where the testimony of several
witnesses was heard. Mr.. jackson
was too weak to be present and
testify, aud the jury went to his
boarding house, where he gave
his testimony. The verdict was
that the deceased came to his
death at the hands of Wint Jack
son, and that it was iustifiable
homicide,
The body of the deceased man
was buried Monday morning in
the paupers grave yard. He was
married but had no children.

Greenville, Miss, Under Water From
Broken levee.

The situation at Greenville,
Miss, where the levee broke last
week. grows worse every day. THE
crevasse in the levee is fully 1900
feet wide and increasing every
hour. The water is continually
rising in Greenville, and only a
few OF the houses are above

are leaving for higherEground. 1t
is remarkable that no lives have
been lost, but stories of narrow
escapes told by the occupants Of
the plantations now inundated are
very graphic.

Gratuitous distribution of monopolies
