"A Jackson special to the New Or
leans Picayune says: r. III. Henry,
Worlds Fair Commissioners, hit upon
most interesting and valuable ex-
hibit for the Worlds Fair, and one
which will prove of interest to all.
Mr.. Henry has Just returned from
Yazoo county, where he paid visit
to Brevort Butler and viewed his
wonderful collection of Indian relics
and arrowheads, the finest in the
country. In addition to his collection
of Indian relics, Mr. Butter has the
finest collection OF stuffed animals in
the country. He is a taxidermist of
note, and has gathered rare collec
tions of all kinds of animals. Mr..
Butler lives near Lake George, some
twenty miles south Of Yazoo City. He
went there when a young man just
from the University of Virginia. His
place now embraces some Thousand or
more vcres, and he raises abundant
crops. He has pursued taxide.my as
q fad. and Mr.. Henry says that his
collection is the handsomest he ever
saw. 1t embraces all of the animals
to be found in this region-bear, deer,
squirrel, rabbit, ETC.. together with
the feathered inhabitants of the
woods. Mr.. Butler built his residence
on an eminence where he killed bear
when he first went into that country
to settle.
"He has been great hunter in his
day, hunting with double purpose,
In the vicinity of where Mr.. Butler
lives there were number of Indian
mounds, and the gentleman has ex
plored these very thoroughly, and has
succeeded in getting from them a
large number of interesting relics In
addition to this he has great collec
tion of ores, stones and fossils from
all countries. The collection repre-
sents years of patient labor. Mr.. But
ler has been offered as high as $20,00
for his collection, but he has refused
all offers. He says that the collec-
ton is not for sale, and that he does
not propose to part with it as long as
he lives, but he has consented to
loan it to Commissioner Henry to
exhibit at the Worlds Fair, and it
will be given prominent place in

REMARKABLE INCREASE
In Capital Stock Invested in Missis
sippi During the Past Two
Years.

Special 70 the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Dec. 5.-The figures CIV
en- out by secretary of state Power
regarding the amount OF capital stock
invested in Mississippi during the
past two years, compared with other
years, is remarkable beyond belief,
and il ON every hand there WAS not
to be seen evidence of this growth
the statement would seem ridiculous.
For the past two years the capital
stock seeking investment in Missis-
sipip amounts to $47, ,096, 700.
For two years, 1900 and 1901 the
total capital was $26, 430. 500.
For the previous four years, 1896.
1897. 1898, and 1899, the total capital
was $25, ,644, 900.
Durirg the fiscal years 1900. 1902
and 1908. there were granted and re-
corded 1,3l2 charters. an increase of
74s over the last four years.

DIR. FEATHERSTUN'S ADDRESS
Speaks at Epworth League Rally
in New Orleans on Aims and
Objects of Organization.

The Times Democrat of today con-
tanned the following in regard te
the address of our we'll known minis.
ter, the Rev. DR.. Featherstun, who
is attending an Epworth League rally
at that place:
GA general rally of the Epworth
Leaguers of the city was held last
night in the Felicity Street Methodist
church Bishop Morrison, Rev. DR. La
Prade and Rev. DR.. III. Walter Feath
erstun of Hattiesburg. Miss, presi-
dent of the Seashore Epworti Leag, g
Assembly were announced to speak,
and Mrs. J. Fl. Consterdine to sing
There was a large assembly of young
people, who came despite the inclen ent
weather. The church was filled al.
most to the doors.
The Rev. DR. La Prade presided.
Rev. NJ. F. Schuhle offered the OPEN
ing prayer aud Dr. Featherstun was
the first speaker. He is all enthusi-
astic Epworth Lacquer, and almost
all the time allotted to the meeting
was given him. He has been travel
ing through Mississippi and Alabama,
and has come now into louisiana,
urging the reading of the Epworth
League Institute. which has been
adopted by the Epworth League board
In explaining what the Epworth
League in titute was, DR.. eatherstun
said that the Epworth League was
organized for the promotion of piety
and loyalty to the church among the
young people. He added: That this
promotion of piety and loyalty may
become more effective, the general |
conference has directed the Epworth |
League board to provide for the study
by the leaguers of church history,
polity, doctrines and biography
this direction. the Epworth
League board has ordered the prepa-
ration and issuance of a series of
booklets on these and relative sub
jects. which is called the Institute
Series.
"Dr. Featherstun said the ideas
had long been abandoned that people
did good things naturally. Every
church worker needed training, from
The preacher down. Methodist people
had too long remained upacquainted
with their church history. doctrine
and polity. There was nothing to
De apologized for aoout these things
except ignorance of them. DR..
Featherstun stressed slle value OF the
7oung life of the church. He said
he question of the necessity for the
Epworth League had long been set
led. The problem now was how to
keep the leagues going, The church
lad gone everywhere into religious
to secure the solution of
heir problems, and the teachers nec-
'ssary to train the league leaders. In
his Seashore Epworth League Insti
ute he knew that the church in this
ection was supplying the need of a
raining for it's workers.
"Dr. Featherstun said additional
ccommodations would be made for
he Epworth Leaguers ON the Sea-
hore by the election of a special
odge.
Following DR.. Featherstun's ad-
ress Mrs. j. Fl. Cnosterdins delight
d her hearers with vocal solo.
Bishop Morrison was then intro

GRAIN MARKET IMPROVED;

WHEAT is WEAK EARLY IN
THE SESSION.
July Deal in Oats Apparently
Abandoned-Pork A Gains 60
Cents on Active Buying.

Chicago, June 29.-After a weak opening
prices in both the grain and provision pits
showed marked Improvement on a good
demand. Sept. wheat closed unchanged.
Sept. corn &c higher and oats up R.c. while
provisions were from Tic to 6Oc higher.
WHEAT
Weakness characterized the early trading
in wheat, due to reports Of general rains in
the Northwest, lower cables. large worlds
shipments and bearish Canadian crop re-
port Sept. opened 14q3sc to 9aqIac lower at
I%lc TO II1sc, with July off isc 10 lac at 7gc
TO "c Many of the longs had wheat for
sale, and the early selling pressure was
very urgent. and a good deal of long stun
was sold out. Outside markets were con-
depression and selling by the Northwest and
ST. Louis. and Sept. declined TO TIC on only
a small demand. Over million bushels
decrease IN the visible. supply brought out
better demand toward the noon hour, and
prices started In an upward direction. Sept.
was especially in good demand and sold up
10 Ui2c, while July rallied TO Soc Buying
by. the Northwest, with denials that the
rains in that section were of little conse-
quence. was largely responsible for the late
f1rmness.
Sept. closed unchanged at 7SIsG7sAc. but
July was lc lower at 1850. Clearances Of
wheat and -four We're equal to 162.90O bu.
The amount on passage decreased $1,000 bu.
Urinary receipts We're i95.loo bu., against
$4,000 bu. year ago. Minneapolis and Dr.
luth reported receipts of 3l9 cars. which,
with local receipts OF "a cars, l on contract
grade. made total receipts for the three
points Of $40 cars. against 800 cars last week
and 52i cars year ago.
CORN.
Conditions favored the bears In the corn
pit and prices were weak in sympathy with
the weakness in wheat, on the liberal re-
ceipts and extremely favorable weather. The
selling was quite general early in the day.
but later, with change in sentiment in
wheat, good demand developed and the
market became strong. Covering by shorts
and buying by bulls on the small estimated
receipts for tomorrow helped in the upturn.
There was no special feature in trading. The
close was strong. with Sept. &c higher at
5a4c, after selling between i92sc and J07sc.
July was up sc at 5Diec. Local receipts
We're 92l cars, with 92 Of contract grade.
OATS.
The feature in the trading in oats was the
decline in the July delivery and the apparent
abandonment of the deal which had been in
progress for some time. The weakness in
other grains. the apathetic state OF the cash
market and increased local stocks were
against the bulls. Deferred futures were
in good demand and held steady. Sept clos
ing l4c higher at 3+1sc, after selling between
