WHAT THE DEED PROVIDES.
1t is that the Beauvoir Property
Shall Be Used Only for the
Purpose Mentioned.
Special to the Daily Progress.

SQGCldl 10 Tie Ddliy hAO6AOSSs
jackson, Feb. 5.--The deed from
Mrs. Jefferson Davis TO the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans for the
Beauvoir property provides that it
shall always be used as home for
INDECENT ex-confederate veterans, and
shall never be used or dedicated in
any manner as memorial to any
other person whomsoever, and the
title shall never be transferred except
to the state of Mississippi. This
makes it obligatory on the Sons OF
Veterans to support the soldiers
home, unless arrangements are made
for legislative support.
Mrs. Davis expresses the wish that
the east and west pavillions Of Beau
voir shall be preserved, and especial
" the Office in the eastern wing in
which jefferson Davis wrote his
work, 1.-THE Rise and Fall Of the
Southern Confederacy." She specifies
in the deed the rooms formerly occu-
pied by Winnie Davis, "the daughter
of the confederacy, and also the
room occupied by Mrs. Maragret
Davis Hayes, and requests that they
be used as memorials to the family Of
Mr.. Davis. The same conditions are
evoked in case the title should pass
to the state of Mississippi.

IN THE DEATH SENTENCE CASE
Of. w. Fugitt the Supreme Court
Will Have to Define What
is a Dying Declaration.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Feb. 5.-In the death SEN
tence case of Joe Watt Fugitt,, now
pending an appeal from the circuit
court of Prentiss county, the supreme
court will be called upon to define
what constitutes a dying declaration.
Fugftt killed neighbor named Ben
Cunningham during quarrel over
some cattle. There were no eye-wit-
nesses to the deed and Fugitt claims
that he fred in .self-defense. Cum
ningham fingered for several days,
and before his wounds resulted fatally
he made a statement saying that the
affair was unprovoked, and that he
made no ATTACK on Fugitt. In the
bill of exemptions filed by the defense
the contention is set up that Cum
ningham statement was not dying
declaration; that it, was not made
while he realized the solemnity of his
approaching deathG that he believed
while the declaration was being made
that he would recover from his
wounds. Several of the ablest attor-
neys are employed in the case. and 1t
is being fought with much spirit.

Ii is a self governing organization es.
tablished in 1877. 1t gives insurance to
its members at actual cost, unmixed
with investments and speculative
schemes that only serve to increase the
cost and in the end disappoint the
policy holders. Its rates are based
upon the actual risks. A lower rate
would be unsafe, higher one needless
ly oppressive. 1t admits woman to
equal privileges with men in all re.
spects. All claims are paid promptly
and in full. The time to insure is now

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea.

"About six years ago for the first time
in my life l had sudden and severe at
tack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller,
of Morgan, Texas. 81 got temporary re-
lief, but it came back again and again,
and for six long years l have suffered
more misery and agony than l can tell.
1t was worse than death. My husband
spent hundreds of dollars for physicians
prescriptions and treatment without avail.
Finally we moved to Bosque county, our
present home, and one day l happened
to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
with a testimonial of man who had been
cured by it. The case was so similar to
my own that l concluded to try the
remedy. The result was wonderful. l
could hardly realize that was well again
or believe it could be so after having suf-
fered so long, but that one bottle of medi-
cine, costing but few cents, cured me-"

BARGAINS IN LIFE MATES.
Although Marriage IL n Lottery, Some
People OFFER Choice In
dueements.

A writer IN an eastern journal ad
Tses socialists and sentimentalists
with prediction for marrying and
giving in marriage to turn their at.
tention to the department stores. be-
cause there is big lot of that kind
of business going on.
Men clerks and women clerks have
the matrimonial habit. They 90 not
say so when they accept a situation,
and they go into a shop for the oS-
tenGible purpose of selling ribbons
and lace and notions, instead of get
ting married, but they are pretty
sure to do the latter thing before
they get out. Romance Is In the air,
and they cannot help themselves.
Long hours, carping customers and
hurried orders cannot dispel It; in
fact, they thicken 1t. What young
man with real blood in his veins can
look up from box of suspenders and
see the young woman who sells
gloves across the way shrinking I'M
der the sharp criticism of an irate
pychaser, without yearning to pro-
tect her2 Nine times out of ten he
does so yearn, and the consequence
is he marries her. That does not
mean that he quits selling susperders
or that she quits selling gloves. They
do not quit. They keep right on at
the same occupation, and then by
and by they are promoted, and live
happy ever after.
All things considered, the matrimo-
NAL counter Of big store is the most
institution in the estab-
lishment. Rare bargains are found
there, but nothing has ever been
marked down below cost price. Such
a thing as a reduction of % per cent.
because of uncertain hair, false
teeth or a perishable complexion, Is
unheard Of Everything on that
counter is genuine, and the joys ac-
cruing to those who select bargains
therefrom are unreasonable,

Norfolk virginian-PIot.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
For its own part the Virginian'P Pilot
feels no inclination to retort upon the
North with tn quaque in the matter OF
the roting in Delaware and in Evans
vile Indiana. The spectacle of the cities
of Wilmington and Evansville in the hands
of mobs rioting at will, trampling on the
law and ntimidating tine authorities, Is
not spectacle in which Se can take any
pleasure because it justifes the Southern
contention that what the South has done
the North will do.
We are ali Americans first, or should be,
and Northerncrs or SOutherhers asterward.
1t shcuI. therefore, be a source OF pain
and reglet 10 every patriotic American
citizen, North nr South, to see the law
succt Sc July dcli,d an the will of the mob
work ID at pie ,surp Yet here we have
had contemrura i,Uu,ly three cities In the
hands of the mob-E ansville and Will
minglon, Norllen cities, and Richmond,
Southern city-the staid and conserva-
tive capital of the Old Dominion. In two
of these it took the strong arm of the mil
itary to restore order and it was restored
at all only at the cost of human life.
We say that the triumph of the mob
the organized defiance of the law, the
turbulence of our people is becoming
very serious matter, and one that may
well cause the thoughtful citizen uneasl
ness, whether he lives North or South
East or West. We cannot SOW the vino
of lawlessness without reaping the whlrl
wind of anarchy or the devils crop o
depotism. We must either ourselves
! maintain the law or choose between Ma
, poleon and the Reds,
And are we not fast coming to the pas
where we must rely upon the iron hand o
the military to maintain law and orde
within our borders? Has any people eye
/, been able to follow that course and main
d tain their liberties? Is it to be supposed
that we can substitute the bayonet for thu
ballot, as the mainstay of our free, inst
tutions, with impunity-and that, too' a
q. a time when there is well-detined pro
! paganda intended to bring those lnstitu
lions into contempt, to the end that the!
may be destroyed in substance, ant
maintained only as shadows?
Already member of the Cabinet ha
suggested that the Federal government b.
given power, by special act, to put dow
tie mob wherever it raises lts head.
We can all see for ourselves that mol
violence is on the increased The respon
sibility therefore rests upon toleral
1 public opinion and the political cowardlc'
of the men chosen to public office, who's
duty it,is to enforce the law and preserv'
order.

Da fness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the3 diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous SER

They Remember.
Spirit of Valley

Spirit OF Valley.
To the Norfolk Virginia-Piot we will
say that we do not deny that provisions,
as we'll as most other things, were cheaper
during Cleyeland's second administration
than they had been for generation or
longer; but when the Pilot asserts that the
percentage of worklngmen out of employ
ment was comparatively small, it makes
an assertion with which very few will
agree. Is it possible that the editor of the
Pilot can have forgotten that the working
men nearly all over this country were
working on reduced wages and time and
that soup houses were established in New
York and nearly all of the larger cities of
this country? Any one who has forgotten
the state of affairs which existed at that
time must be possessed of such short
memory as to amount to mental Attic
ton and we feel sure that the workingmen
of this country ere not SO afflicted.

The Right and Wrong Way of Doing.
Rockford Register

Rockford Register"
There is rare secret connected with the
making of work-commOn, everyday hard
wolk-a pleasure instead of a burden.
So much of the work of life is done in the
wrong way, in the hardest way, and so be-
comes of necessity burden. Indifference
to or lack of the knowledge of the right
and best way to do things is largely what
fills the earth with walls over the tyranny
of labor. To illustrate, man undertakes
to NOW grass with dull scythe; be tries
to pillow his field with pillow which will
not scour; be tries to work too many acres;
he milks bis COWS in filthy yard or barn;
he ueglects to oil up and runs with hot
boxes the year round. There is Lo sort
of sense in doing these things this way.
1t is the wrong, the burdensome way, and
no man living can take any pleasure In his
work so done. This is the reason why
some people can accomplish so much
more and Edo so much better work than
others. They have found out the differ
ence between the right and the wrong
way of doing WORK.

AN INDIAN PUBLICATION.
Edited BY AN Aboriginal HumorlSt WIZ
Who Advocates States Rights.
Chicago Tribune

Chicago Tribune"
There has been launched at Eufaula, /.
T., the first issue of the first daily paper
ever printed or published by an Indian.
The editor is Alexander Posey, known 50
the "Creek Bard" member of the
Creek tribe of Indians, who already has
achieved distinction in the newspaper
field as editor, poet and humorist. He If
one of the prominent men of the Creek
nation and took all active part in the
convention held at Eufaula recently called
or the purpose of formulating an Indian
plan for statehood. He helped frame the
famous appeal to the people for an It.
dian State, separate from Oklahoma, IN
which no Intoxicating liquors should ever
be sold.
Although known as the "Creek Bard, "
Posey is only half Creek, as bis sather was
Scotch trader, an early settler in the In
dian county. He was born near Eufaula
on August %, 1873, and was educated al
Bacone University, Euscogee, l. T., from
which he was graduated seven years ago.
Alter leaving school he engaged in edu
cational work and was successfully super
intendent of the Greek Orphan School,
superintendent of public instruction for
the Creek nation and superintendent OF
the Eufaula Creek High School. Before
entering the newspaper field Posey had
won Repatriation in literary lines. As a
boy he gained some renown as a writer oil
verse, which he signed by the nom de-
plume of "Chinnuble Harjo." In March
1902, he became the editor of the Indian
Journal" weekly newspaper at Eufaula
and the oldest paper published in the
Creek nation.
In addition to making it a thorough
newspaper he has won a reputation
through its columns as the original and
only Indian humorist. Every week his
paper contains a humorous and gently
satrica column of comment on Indian
Territory politics prepared in the form of
a letter and signed "Fos Fi&ico." These
letters are written in the dialect used by
the Indians, who thus far have not &C.
customed themselves to the idioms of the
English language.
