Return Of Story to
The Penitentiary.
Noted Mississippi Escaped
Convict Who Has Been at
Large for Two Years
Was Tired of
Dodging.

Brooks Story, one Of the most
notorious convicts with whom
the State of Mississippi has ever
had to deal, and who has been at
large for nearly two years, was
returned to the penitentiary Sun
day by Deputy Sheriff Wallace,
of Attala county, to whom he had
surrendered the day previous,
stating that he was tired Of dOdg-
ing about the world and wanted
to complete his sentence. Story
was sent up from Holmes county
some ten or twelve years ago for
completely in the Durant express
robbery. to serve term of ten
years, and has given the authori
ties great deal of trouble. He
has escaped four different times
and has spent as much or more
of his time on the outside as in
side the prison walls.
One or two occasion he has
been apprehended in the far
West and it has cost the State
goodiy sum of money first and
last to return him to the walls
and pay the rewards for his re-
capture. His last escapade was
from the prison hospital in
Jackson. He had been quite sick
for some time, having made him
self SO by eating literally Of bar
soap, and was allowed a good
many liberties-one Of which was
to sleep late in the morning.
Finally a day came when the
sergeant went to his bunk TO
wake him found a straw man
rolled up in his blankets, and
from that day TO this no man
who knew him has seen him.
He states that he has spent most
of his vacation in the Indian Ter
ritory. but the desire to visit his
old home in Alfalfa was too strong
to resist, and he came, determined
to surrender and to serve out his
term.

Jackson, Miss, January Goth,
DR.. Charles Burrows, Of New
York, who has startled the medi
cal world with his discovery of a
specific for blood poisoning, is a
former citizen of Jackson, having
been reared in this city.
The early manhood of Dr. Bar
rows was spent in Jackson and
his father, Major d. n. Barrows,
was one of the capital city,s most
prominent citizens. Ia discuss
ing the discovery made by DR..
BarroWs. and its effect on medi-
cal practice, DR.. II. A. Cant,
president of the Mississippi State
Board Of Health, says:
THE medical tendency of the
day is to find specifies for all
forms of germ diseases. aid |
have no doubt that DR.. BarrOWs
has struck the right line, or that
his discovery will be verified by
further experiments. The in
lection Of formalin, either in the

New Scheme of Labor Agents.

A new scheme has been adopt
ed by the labor agents who
are now busily engaged enticing
negroes to the delta and the rail
road construction camps from
the hill counties of the State.
The plan is to employ intelligent
colored women who move about
among the labor forces and pic
ture the "!ittering inducements
offered by contractors and plant
ers elsewhere. The advantage
of the scheme lies in the fact
that the neGresS is rarnl y suS-
pected, while a male agent is
liable to rough handling in case
he is caught entlcing labor.
Strenuous efforts are being made
by the agents representing the
delta planters to recruit q full
labor supply before the opening
of the spring planting season,
and the prospects are that a
larger acreage will be planted
this wear than ever before. The
railroad contractors are also
making heavy demands for
IahOrerS TO commence spring CON
tracts.

AguinaldO'S Scheme
for PHILIPPINE Bank.
Suggests That the United States Should
Lend Twenty Millions i'll Gold
for this Purpose.

Secretary Root has transmitted
to the senate and house copies OF
"a petition received by him,
through Governor Taft, from
Aruinaldo. the late insurgent
leader in the Philippines. The
petition is remarkable presen
tatiOn of the conditions now ex
isting in the Philippines. and Sec
retary Root Fastening to send it
to congress because it went Il
long way toward supporting the
statement he had made to the
committee Of that body and also
demonstrating the necessity Tor
prompt and exhaustive action on
the part of congress to prevent
disaster and distress in the az
chipelago.
The Secretary's letter Of trans
initial was very short, simple
reciting the character OF the
document and alluding to the
picturesque and graphic manner
i'm which Aguinaldo had describ-
ed the conditions Of the Philip
pines.
The secretary attached partlc-
ular Importance to AguinaIdo S
profession of desire to do every
thing in his power to aid the
Americans in carrying out relief
measures and developing the
islands.
Aguinaldo says in part:
Profoundly impressed by the
sorrows and caiamitieS which
affiict my people, and bearing in
mind the good intentions which
inspired the acts OF the Civil
Commission, [ have taken heart
TO present a project Of a purely
economical character, which IN
my opinion. would remedy-lI
not completely, at least IN great
part-the precarious situation in
which we find ourselves.
HIS PROPOSITION.
propose to the honorable civil
Commission to obtain from Con
oress a United States Treasury
loan of $40, 900, 900 gold, in cash,
and also a credit of $50, 900. 900.
gold which will guarantee the
issue of paper to serve as money
in the islands. This sum shall
be used for the development and
Improvement of PHILIPPINE agri-
culture and shall be paid within
twenty year, the payments being
made in three installments at the
end of ten, fifteen and twenty
years, respectively, and at the
rate of So. 900, 900 at the end of
the first period, which would
cancel so much of the credit. and
S25. 100000 and $50, 900, 900 at
the end Of the two remaining
period.
The amount Of the credit would
not be taken out of the United
States Treasury, like the loan,
and both would be without inter
est and could never be transfer
red to any other foreign nation.
