Water Famine Is Critical.

The water famine in Mississippi,
caused by the tong drouth, is daily
becoming more serious and condi-
ton has been reached that can be
considered as nothing less than crit
ical. Each day brings to Jackson a
long caravan of wagons from the
country, the sole object of their trip
to town being to secure water from
the river, and at any hour of the day
these wagons may be seen on the
streets vending their way homeward
and carrying from two to six barrels
filed with the precious fluid. From
all parts of the State comes the COM
plant of scarcity Of water, and a
heavy burden has been added to the
expense of operating manufacturing
plants on account of the long dis
lance they are compelled to haul wa
ter. The famine is causing great
distress among the cotton ginners,
and many of these plants are closing
down each day, finding it impossible
to obtain water. In numerous Sec
tons of the State gins are from ten
to fifteen miles away from available
water supply. For instance, the gin
at Flora, over twenty miles from
Jackson. is hauling water from that
city, and the expense thus incurred
has reduced the profit on operation
almost to nothing.

DETECTIVE HELD CAPTIVE.
Sent Out to Hunt Down the Abduct-
Ors of WeRtz, He Is Himself
Captured and Held.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 10-One of the
Pinkerton detectives now at work on
the Wentz mystery was sent from Big
Stone Gap to Letcher county, eastern
Kentucky, a few days ago, to assist
John Wright, a noted Kentucky outlaw,
who was employed in the case because
of his knowledge Of the mountains.
The detective, having gained important
information bearing on the Wentz case,
was returning to Big Stone Gap to
report to the Wentz family, when he
found himself confronted by three
armed men who would not permit him
to return. He made three more at
tempts, the last time concealing him
self in a wagon, but the same armed
men turned him back. Monday let
ter was delivered to the Wentz house
from the detained detective, having
been carried across the mountains by
a young man. This letter told of his
being held owing to information he
had, and called for an armed force to
come to his assistance. Five Pinker-
ton men left Big Stone Gap for the
scene Monday. The distance is So
miles, over a rugged mountain road.
The detectives are heavily armed and
a pitched battle may ensue.

MINERS OF COLORADO IDLE
Strike of the Coal Miners in Colo
RADIO Is Widely Extended.
Almost to Man Have the Miners of
District Fifteen Obeyed the
Order to Go Out.

"
Denver, Col, Nov. 10.-Information
received from the coal fields of Colo
RADIO indicates that the strike of coal
miners will be more extended than an
ticipated. 1t is reported that the order
of the executive committee of the
United Mine Workers of America de-
claring strike in District Is, for Mon
day, has been obeyed in Colorado al
most to the man. At certain mines
where it was confidently believed suf-
ficient number of men could be re-
tanned to operate them, 1t appears that
not enough men reported to make a
showing. In the northern fields where
the men decided to strike upon their
own referendum vote, because they have
not been granted an eight-hour day,
the walkout is complete. 1t is said
that several of the independent mines
will make efforts to contiue in opera
ton, but, It is understood, with little
hope of success.
Unusual precautions have been taken
by the sheriff of Las Animas county, in
southern Colorado, where it Is feared
trouble may break out at any time. 1t
is reported that strikers have threat
ened violence if they are ousted from
the cottages of the Victor Fuel Co..
and the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. The
state troops are being held in readiness
to respond at moments notice to a
call from the governors. Already the
effects Of the strike are being felt in
this city. Practically all the dealers
announce that they have no coal to
sell. The prospect is favorable for a
serious coal famine in Denver and at
other points in the state.

Exempt From superv,slor.

The railroad commission of this
State has been permanently enjoined
by Judge Niles from making rates
on the Gulf & Ship Island railroad.
The Gulf 4 Ship Island railroad,
ever since it was built, has claimed
that it was exempt from the super
vision of the railroad commission,
settling up that its charter exempted
it from such supervision. Some time
ago the road secured temporary in
junction preventing the railroad
commission from interfering with
the rates on this road. Last week
Judge Niles handad down an opin-
ion in which he made the injunction
a permanent one. The charter Of
the road was granted in 1882, and il
exempts the road from the superyis-
ion of the commission. The SUI
preme Court, in a case few months
ago, decided that the commission
had no supervision over the road.
Judge Niles, in his opinion, holds
that the charter granted by the legis-
lature is binding, and that the COM
mission has no right to supervise
either the passenger or the freight
rates of the road, and makes the
temporary injunction perpetual.

THE KRAFT CASE MAY DRAG,
The Fugitive Is Entitled to Defend
Himself ON Three Grounds I'm
der Mexican Law.

Mexico City, Nov. 10.-The Kratz
case is expected to occupy some time
before definite settlement is reached.
He is entitled to defend himself
against extradition ON three grounds
only, namely:
/. That the requisition is contrary to
the provisions of the Mexican extradi-
ton law.
2. The defendant is not the person
whose extradition is asked. And,
3. That the extradition is illegal be-
cause if granted some one or more of
the rights secured to all persons under
the constitution of the republic shall
be violated.
These questions will be argued be-
fore the district judge at Guadalajara,
and 20 days are allowed to present
proofs to sustain the ground of the de-
tense. Then, on decision by the dis
trict judge, the matter is referred to
the department of foreign relations,
and the record will be examined by the
executive of the nation to decide
whether or not the extradition shall
be granted

FOREST FIRE IN CHICAGO.
An Unusual Spectacle Witnessed by
Hundreds of ChicagOans
Sunday Night.

Chicago, Nov. 10-A forest fire was
the unusual spectacle enjoyed by hun
dreds of Chicagoans Sunday night.
Four companies of f1remen fought the
blaze for hours. The fire started in the
barns of the Graceland cemetery. In a
few minutes the hay sheds were blaz-
ing fiercely. After destroying the build
ings and wagons, the fire spread to the
shrubbery growth and trees which COW
cred a tract of almost four square
blocks. The loss will exceed $4,000.
The tract combines almost virgin
forest, with carefully cultivated shrub
berry. Rabbits, squirrels, gophers and
other small animals abound in the in
closure Scores of animals were killed
as they ran among the crowd, while
others were captured and later turned
loose. Two frame buildings, three
greenhouses, 20 wagons and many tons
of hay were destroyed, while the large
growth of shrubbery and trees was al
most consumed

Cotton Crop Prospect.

Fine Roadway was made during
the week just closed with the pick
ing of the cotton crop in Mississippi.
The dry weather has caused the sta
pie to open with astonishing rapid
ty, and all available labor forces
have been constantly employed in
marketing the crop. There is no
longer any doubt that Mississippi's
yield will be shorter than last year.
Less than half dozen counties re-
port top crop, and this causes the
heaviest reduction in the prospective
yield. The delta crop will average
from Is to 80 per cent. below that
of last year, although the bottom and
middle crop is about up to the av-
erage. The interior movement to
the market towns continues quite
lively, and there is very little ten
dency on the part of the farmers to
hold back the staple.

CAPTURE ANOTHER SUSPECT
Rock Island Specials After Gang

Another Arrest Has Been Made
Near the scene of the Sup

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 10.-The patrol

In the vicinity Of Earlham, where the
supposed plot to hold up the road for
money ransom for immunity, Mon
day evening captured another suspect,
who gives the name of Thomas Muir

his presence or tell who he is. The
man was seen skulking in the woods,
and posse was quickly organized. He
was brought to Des Moines.
The man shot Sunday night in the
same vicinity and brought here main

anything leads the Rock Island OFF,
Gals to believe he was implicated in
the plot The man is able to talk and
is in no immediate danger.
A special force of armed men is
securing the country in the vicinity
of Earlham, and the whole country in
that vicinity is being patrolled. The
Rock Island is planning to put armed
men on all its night trains for the
next few days.
About ten days ago the main offices
in Chicago received letter directing
the road to see that 81 1000 was thrown
off No. 6, the Denver flyer, somewhere
In Iowa. A special was made up at
Council Bluffs to follow No. 6 about
ten minutes, and it bore armed men
and bloodhounds. The engineer of No.

his engine at the given signal, the ex-
plosion of three torpedoes under his
side of the machine. The torpedoes
were not exploded. According to a
message just received, they have not
found single trace that would lead
to the clearing up of the mystery.

THE HEREDITARY faint.
The Fate of Emperor Williams Fa-
ther and Mother Recalled.


New York, Nov 10.-Information
contained in private dispatch received
here shows that the operation on En-
peror William is similar to the first
one performed ON his father, and con-
sequently causes concern to his house
hold. The official statement issued by
the surgeons fail to reassure, because it
is we'll understood that for reasons of
state the emperor would be given the
benefit of any doubt as to the true
character of his disease.
It is recaIled that the surgeons at
that time made nothing of the first
operation on Emperor Frederick.
There is anxiety because both Emper-
or Williams father and mother died of
cancer, and his grandmother, Augusta,
also was so afflicted, The emperor's
aunt, the grand duchess of Baden, as
is well known in Germany, is suffering
from the same malady.
1t will take. months to decide wheth-
er the fears now entertained are IN
founded. At present the whole weight
of scientific authority, which is In at
tendance upon the emperor, afirms
that he has not cancer.

Mississippi State News
Geological Survey Of the state.

The Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College has begun a geo
logical and industrial survey of the
State. This promises to be the most
important piece of work ever under
taken by that institution and it en-
phasizes function of the institu-
ton that has not been sufficiently
prominent in the past, that is, the
college is intended not only to give
instruction to the boys and young
men of the State, but, through its
experiment station, its farmers in
stitutes, and its other industrial de-
partments, to help in the material
development of the State. AS an
object lesson to what should be ac-
complished in every county Of the
State, the board of trustees of the
institution have authorized geolog-
ical and industrial survey of Oktib-
beha county embracing the following
features:

The result of these Investigations
will be published as a special report

facts that will enable the legislature
to determine definitely whether or
not such geological and industrial
survey would be of practical value to
the State. 1t is the belief by those

Contract for New We'll.

The city authorities of Indianola
have awarded a contract for sinking
a second artesian well. The entire
water supply is furnished by one
well, and since the location of so
many industries at that place, the
pressure has at times been made
quate. The water from the first
well is so heavily charged with soda
and sulphur that it is somewhat
undesirable for drinking purposes,
and the new well is being sunk al
most a quarter of a mile distant.
The old well is a little more than
1900 feet deep and furnishes about
100000 gallons day.

sheltered men guilty of the most das-

has no right to complain if the Amer
leans follow her example, which is, ON
