FINE LITTLE TOWN.

A gentleman who spent the day in
Virgins few days ago says that no
one has any idea how that little city
has grown recently unless he has been
there to see for himself. There are
two sawmills there, one of them
nearly as large as the Newman mill,
but is only branch of the company
which owns fifty-two mills through
ont the country. 1t gives employment
to thousand men or more, while the
other gives employment to several
hundred.
The Gulf and Ship Island railroad
is about to complete one of the finest
depot buildings on the road. 1t is
large two-story frame building,
beautiful finished. 1t is said the first
floor will be used for offices while the
floor above will be occupied by the
agent and his family. In every senss
it will be model depot building
with cosy dwelling house combined.
Virgins has seven or eight mercap
tile houses, we'll stocked with mer
chandise. and all Of them are doini

is becoming dotted y tn residences

UP ABOUT BASSrIELD.
Zine {zSsi:ens Country, Coed FARM
'ers-A Coming Town-Section
Developing Rapidly.

There is no reason for the little
towns up on the Pearl and Leaf
Rivers railroad not building up as the
farming country will certainly do.
This road runs through one of the best
farming sections of the state, the land
being adapted to the production of
every farm product usually raised in
the south, and the people are ener-
getic and alive to their interests.
Hereafter they will have as fine rail-
road facilities as any offered any in
terror section, double dailies now be-
ing run on the road, and the farmers
can ship at any time. The expense
Of shipping early vegetables would be
small above that paid by the truck
growers in the immediate vicinity of
Hattiesburg, and by shipping with the
growers here the farmers in that Sec
tion would get the same rates to the
northern markets. 1t is only a matter
of time when this whole section will
be converted into vegetable growing
and fruit raising and the section
traversed by the Pearl and Leaf
Rivers railroad will have the same
opportunities afforded others. This
road is blessing to the people of that
section and doubtless they will not be
slow in taking advantage of it.
And then out about Bassfield there
is fine opening for a growing little
town with numerous business houses
and few manufacturing industries.
The Progress understands that there
are already several MERCANTILE houses
there and others are to be established
in the near future. These houses
will carry everything needed by the
farmer, from a box Of pills to steam
engigne or from paper Of pins to
chicken incubator, furnishing all the
needs of the natives, besides giving
them a railroad which will put them
into Hattiesburg in two hours or less,
where they will find roads ready to
carry them to any part of the United
States.
All south Mississippi is developing
rapidly, new industries are being
established, towns and communities
are growing up, and there is no reason
why Bassfield and the surrounding
country should not grow and prosper
with them.

FELL 20 STORIES.
Block of Stone from FIatirOn
Building Does Damage.

New York. Sept 16.-A huge block of
stone coping fell from the upper part
of the 10th story Of the fatiron build
ing, Twenty-third street. Broadway and
Fifth avenue, early today. The mass
landed on the Fifth avenue side of the
building with a terrific crash. A large
hole was torn in the pavement and
fragments of the stone flew in all di-
rections
One of the pieces struck John Rup-
pie, a bar tender as he was passing
along the avenue half a block away,
and broke his leg. Another fragment
hit passing team of horses and caused
them to run away
A Broadway Csr. comfortably filed
with passengers bound down town, was
also damaged by the shower of small
stones. Half a dozen of the windows
in the car We're shattered, and several
Of the passengers were slightly injured.
No cause for the loosening of the stone
could be ascertained. The f1atiron
building. a comparatively new sky
scraper of peculiar build and great
size stands in one of the busiest quar-
ters of the city and at any other hour
the falling stone undoubtedly would
have caused several fatalities.

WILL SOW WHEAT LATE.
Farmers of Harvey County Will Fight
the Hessian Fly.

Newton, Kan. Sept. 16.-The Kansan
says: Reports from the country are to
the effect that the farmers in this Sec
tion of Kansas have declared war on the
Hessian flies. Some of them think this
may lessen the chance for a wheat crop,
but they are going after the Hessian fly
just the same.
Early sown wheat in this section of
the state is very valuable for fall and
winter pasture. Some of the farmers
claim that when they SOW wheat early
the pastures gay even if the wheat fails
to make a crop the next harvest The
farmers are going to sow some wheat
for pasture and then they will piow it
up in the spring and plant the ground to
corn or oats The fly never deposits any
eggs after frost and the farmers win
SOW their wheat after the first freeze
and then plow up the wheat that is
sown for early pasture, and in this way
get clear of the fly
The Hessian fly has been a pest to
wheat raisers in this country for many
years, and when they get a good start
the only way that the farmers knew for
many years to stop them was to quit
raising wheat for one season, but re-
Gently it has been discovered that wheat
sown after the first frost will not have
any flies. That's what many are doing
in Harvey county.

HORSES TAKEN HOME.
Those Stolen from Meriden Farmer
Returned to the Pasture.

A thief who stole team of horses
from Chas. Stinson, four miles from
Meriden evidently decided that horse
stealing was poor business. The team
was stolen about 4 o'clock Monday af-
ternoon, and at daylight Tuesday morn
ing the horses were found in the own
er's pasture. little the worse for wear
but otherwise uniniured.
The owner followed the team and the
man who stole them to North Topeka,
and was only a short distance behind
when they crossed the Soldier creek
bridge. For several hours Monday
night Sheriff Lucas secuted around
North Topeka in his buggy, and twice
saw the man they were pursuing. He
was riding one of the horses, and in
the darkness the sheriff could not over
haul him, although he put his buggy
team in a run and came near capsiz-
ing in several deep holes. The thief is
supposed to be a young man who lives
near Meriden and disappeared about
the same time that the team did. Sher-
iff Lucas did not get close enough to
the man in North Topeka to get a good
look at asm.

Congressman Curtis and Family
Have Valuable Land.

Guthrie. Ok, Sept 16-Gen. w E.
Hardy. the Kaw Indian, SO years of age,
who is prominent because of the part
he took in the civil war under and as an
officer with Cen u. S. Grant, was in
Guthrie today en- route to his home in
the Kaw Indian reservation. Nctwith-
standing the fact that General Hardy is
SO years of age, he is hale and hearty
and is actively looking after the inter-
ests of the Kaws.
Congressman Charles Curtis. of Kan
sas. is a nephew of General Hardy.
When the Kaw lands were allotted re-
Gently. Congressman Curtis, because of
the fact that there is one-quarter In
dian blood in his veins. was made the
owner of a valuable tract of land in
the reservation. sharing equally with
members of the kaW tribe He also Sc
cured allotments for his children, and
the Curtis family now owns about 1, 800
acres of good land in the Arkansas val
ley. In discussing the fact that Curtis
owns land in the Kaw reservation, Gen
Hardy said:
"Since Curtis has been in congress he
has done great things for the Indian, not
only the Kaws, but the Indians every
where, whenever an opportunity offered.
When the kaw lands were allotted, the
general council of the tribe voted unan-
imously to place his name on the Kaw
rolls of citizenship, together with those
of his children. allowing him to share
equally with us our land. In this man
ner we made him an honorary member
of the tribe and only in part repaid him
for the work he has done for the In
dians."
Owing to the well known integrity of
General Hardy, he was made secretary
of the Kaw general council for life by
Secretary Hitchcock, and at the same
time, Wa-shun-ga, a noted Kaw Indian,
was made chief of the general council
for life. In the allotment of the KaW
lands, each member of the tribe re-
ceived something like 400 acres. There
are 247 Kaws and the reservation con-
sists of 100,137 acres. The deeds have
been signed by the secretary of the in
terror department and are ready for de-
livery. The Curtis act states that each
Kaw must retain $50 acres of his land
for a homestead. but that he may sell
or lease the remaining number of acres.
Considerable of the land will be placed
on the market this winter. and will give
white men an opportunity to secure
homes in the Kaw reservation.

Sir Thomas Upton Is Now Sc

Chicago. Sept. 16.-Sir Thomas Upton
is suffering much pain today from the
sickness which attacked him on his arrival
in Chicago yesterday and another confer
ence of Drs. Homer NJ. Thomas. Nicholas
Sem and George W. Webster was called
for today After hours conference last
night the three physicians agreed that
his indisposition. which was at first pro-
nounced acute Indigestion. had developed
unmis "a kable signs of Inflammation of the
stomach and bowels. Today Sir Thomas
condition is regarded as serious and it is
said that III such cases operation Is
sometimes necessary The physicians hope
to avoid the use of instruments in this
instance.
In his room a the Auditorium Annex,
Sir Thomas spent a restless night, despite
the administering of opiates to give him
sleep. 1t is the comment of those close
to him that under no circumstances can
Sir Thomas be restored to health so as
to be out of bed for several days, and it
is believed he will have to defer the date
of his departure for Europe.
