 ten miles from Selma, has overfowed and is still rising. Much of its valley is already under water. The Tombigbee River at the Southern Railway Company s trestle, near Jackson, is said to be just within its bluffs.
 Nearly every railroad train entering the city is delayed by the danger threat ening the tracks, but so far no damage has resulted, and 1t Is hoped traffic will not bc interrupted. And there is little reason for alarm on this score unless there is more rain within a few days.
 A telegram was received by a citizen this morning, 1t Is said, stating that the river would go 16 feet higher. Such an extensive rise would inundate thousands of acres of land near Selma and would bring about fearful conditions.
 The river bridge has been thronged with spectators all day and general alarm Is felt in Selma, not so much for persons resident in the city as for those in its vicir age.

 London, Feb. u.-Inquiries at the Nor gan London Banking house today con- frmed the main points of the story print ed by The Daily Chronicle this morning to the effect that bills purporting to have been signed by J. Pierpont Morgan in payment for purchases of pictures and bric-a-brac had been returned to London with an intimation that the signatures were fergeries.
 Two bills for $57, each, purporting to be drawn by M. de 7oisdari with J. Pier pont Morgan's acceptance. were present. ed for payment by a London bank. The suspicious of J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., were aroused and he withheld payment until the following day. Meanwhile he cabled to his father, who repudiated these signatures. J. P.

Mr.. j. H. Bouslog, the industrial

road, has launched an energetic cam
paign to bring hardy northern and
western settlers to various points
along the road, and he has adopted a

Tomorrow morning Mr.. Bouslog
will arrive in jackson in charge of a

Missouri and Kansas, the first ever
brought south by the Gulf and Ship
Island system. After a brief stop here
the party will continue by easy stages
to Gulfport, the home-seekers being
allowed abundant opportunity to in
spect the country through which they
pass.
Mr.. Bouslog has several similar ex-
cursions in process of planning and
henceforth he will be continually en-
gagged in the laudable work of popu-
lating the piney woods with thrifty
and Industrious agriculturists who
will take the soil after the pine
forests have been cut away and con.

LUMBERMEN ARE CONFIDENT
Of Winning Suit to Restrain the
Enforcement of Increase in

Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 19-The Mississippi
lumbremen are confident of victory i'm
the injunction proceedings broug bit
before Judge Niles to restrain the en-
forcement of the increase of two cents
per 100 in the rates on yellow pine.
The decision of Judge Niles will be
rendered next week, and it is being
awaited with keen interest. both
among lumbermen and in railroad
circles.
The principal point involve in the
present fight is the reasonableness of
the freight rate advance, and the lum-
bermen are endeavoring to show by
the public financial statements of the
various railroads operating in the
state, and the dividends declared dur
ing the past year, that the increase is
not justified. They further contend
that discrimination is shown, Georgia
and Alabama being favored with bet
ter rates than Mississippi.

If Roosevelt will lay aside polity,
for time and take up pride he will
see that there is an investigation
made of the postoffice stealage. And
the best way to do this is to commence
with Postmaster Payne and put him
through the sweat box. The stealing
has been going on in the postoffice de-
partment and the civil service rules
have been violated for number of
years and the republican administers
