dangerous. Each time it opened the
wound in his jaw. Each time the ply
slcian again solemnly warned him OF
his peru unless he kept still. For five
days this continued and then the pa

That is the problem which frequently
confronts everyone-especially parents
with small children. A slight illness
treated at once often saves a long
period of sickness and expense-some-
times prevents death. The trouble is
that so few people can think on the in
slant what treatment to apply, even IL
they have the knowledge necessary to
recognize the disease and know what
simple remedies are best. To meet this
want at small expense the Book Pub
fishing House, 1874 Leonard street, New
York City, is sending postpaid a doctor
book on receipt of sixty cents in
stamps. The book is illustrated, con-
tains 59S pages, explains symptoms,
| causes and simple means of overcoming
ordinary Illnesses. 1t was written by
the eminent J. Hamilton Ayres, A. NJ,
M. D. 1t is a volume which should be
in every household, as no one can tell
what moment he may require the
knowledge it contains.

ALL EUROPE SURPRISED.
The New Pope Had Not Been Considered
as q Candidate.

as q Candidate.
London.-News Of the selection Of
Cardinal Sarto as Pope reached Eng
land first through a dispatch from New
York City, and caused great. surprise
here. as it did throughout Europe, as
Cardinal Sarto had hardly been
thought Of as a possible successor to
Pope Leo.
The first question asked, not only by
laymen, but by high church dignitar-
les, was "Who is Sarto| Books OF
reference Were quickly hunted up i'll
order to ascertain knowledge Of the ca
reer of the new Pontif.
Berlin. - Replying to the question
| whether the election of Cardinal Sarto
as the new Pope was acceptable to
| Germany, a representative Of the For
eigns Office answered: "Unqualifedly
SO from an official viewpoint. Sarto is
a m~ild-mannered man and has V
been active politically"
All sections of the press regard The
choice as wise, praise Sarto's concilia-
tory character and emphasize the be-
lief that he will be a religious rather
than a political Pope.
! 1t is remarked that Sarto is the only
Italian Cardinal whom the king of
Italy received.
Paris.-The election of Cardinal Sarto
as Pope created a distinctly favorable
impression in Governmental quarters.
The choice OF Sarto is satisfactory as
| apparently ensuring the continuance of
the recent policy of moderation fol-
lowed by the Holy See in it's relations
with France and other Catholic
tries.
Washington, D. C.-The election of
Cardinal Sarto as Pope came as a sur
prise to the Catholic dignitaries of
Washington, to whom the new Pope is
quite unknown, except IS an able and
deyout member of the Sacred College.
Monsignor Fanconio, the Papal Dele
gate, as coon as he is officially advised
Of the election of Plus X, will send
out to the Catholic prelates of the
United States a circular letter COM
mending him to their loyalty.

REMARKABLE HAIL STORM.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, April 27.-One of the most
remarkable hail storms on record is
reported to have occurred at the little
interior town of Philadelphia in Ne
shoba county on Sunday afternoon.
The storm approached without
warning, and before the citizens had
time to relaize that the heavens were
darkened with black and angry
clouds the atmosphere was filled
with falling slugs of ice which con-
tinued for several minutes, and the
sky again became clear with radiant
with sunshine as though nothing had
happened.
A brisk wind prevailed during the
storm and the hailstones were piled
up in drifts so that they could be
scooped up by the double handful.
When the hailstones were examined
by citizens peculiar discovery was
made. The stones appeared to be
hollow spheres, resembling glass
balls, and owing to this fact they fell
gently to the earth and did not desrtoy
vegetation, and even the most tender
foliage and fruit were not injured.
The phenomenon is new to this Sec
tion of the moral vineyard.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, April 27.-The method of
nominating candidates for the state
senate in the coming primaries is
proving a troublesome one in several
sections of the state, and has resulted
in a number of open ruptures and dis
agreements.
The senatorial executive committee
of the thirty first district held meet
ing at Houlka and agreed to disagree
after protracted conference. Three
counties were represented, this being
the number composing the district,
and the rock upon which the members
split was the question of whether the
election should be confined alone to
the county entitled to the senator, or
whether the entire district should
have a voice in the selection. 1t has
been the custom heretofore to alternate
where two or more counties compose
a district, one county choosing the
senator for one term, and the other
county furnishing candidate for the
next term. In the thirty first district
the vote resulted in tie, and it was
decided to adjourn until Tuesday,
the 2Sth, when it is hoped that some
of the members will have changed
| their minds on the subject.

that there will be a revival an activ-

tually result in the purchase of small

According to advices from Grenada,

great good to the cattle raising indus

cessful. He has charge of several
head of fine Aberdeen Angus calves
imported from Illinois and is inoccu-
lating them against infection by south
ern tick fever, which is one of the
greatest enemies to the successful rails
ing of cattle in Mississippi. The last
report of the government bureau of
live stock industry shows that millions
of cattle die annually in the south
from this fever, and the damage alone
from this source has deferred many
persons from importing the finer grades
of cattle. DR.. Robertson is confident
of success with his experiment, and
