Illinois Monument in National Park.

Of the $3.50, 600 appropriated by the
State of Illinois for a monument on
the Vicksbnrg National Park the sum
of $3.50, 600 is available at once. There
are about seventy Illinois organiza-
tions which were represented on the
local park lines, and with the money
already available, it is safe to say that
the near future will see actual opera

of people.

At the annual meeting of Camp
Dabney III. Maury, U. G. ", No.
1912, at Newton, the camp was pre-
sided over by Major S. G. Spann, Of
Meridian, commander, and the meet
ing was of considerable interest.
Among the members present way Jack
Amos, the old Indian war interpreter
for Major Spann. Several incidents
OF this Indians life we're related by
Commander Spann. He said Jack
was one of the noble braves who
leaped into the raging torrents of the
Chunkey river en- the 10th of June,
1858, when so many OF the Confeder-
ate soldiers were drowned at the time
the heavily loaded train. crashed
through the bridge during that memo
rable freshet, and with his comrades
brought to shore 70 corpses and %
living soldiers. On the west bank Of
Chunkey river, in sight of the passing
trains, are the graves of sixty of the
soldiers who lost their lives in these
waters. In a number of other SINH
lar instances this Indian performed
deeds that would embelish the pages
of the brightest history, had they
been done by q white soldier. Jack
has declared his intention to go with
the company to the reunion as one of
the old Confederate Veterans of Major
Spann's Battalion of Indian Scouts.
Jack lives five miles from Chunkey,
in this county. and travelled twenty
miles to meet HE old Commander and
be pr, sent at the camp meeting.

THE OLD LOUISIANA PURCHASE

Correspondence Touching the Purchase
of the louisiana Territory.

just iss ued the official State papers
and official correspondence touching
the purchase of the Louisiana Terri

Levi Ankeny, Senator elect from
the State of Washington to succeed
George Turner, is millionaire banker
and farmer. Mr.. Ankeny is awkward
and difident, so it is quite unlikely
that he will take prominent part in
senatorial deliberations, says the New
Orleans Picayune. 1t is generally be-
lieved that but for the active and
dexterous campaign conducted by his
wife he could not have been elected
Senator. Mrs. Ankeny is daughter
of Ex-senator Nesmith.

A remarkable theory in regard to
the increase in crime is advanced by
DIR. Arthur Mcdonald, crimiLologist
attached to the United States Bureau
Of Education at Washington, says the
Picayune. Dr. Mcdonald argues
that automobiles, electr ic cars and
telephones and other invention are re-
sponsible for the increase in crime,
suicide aud various forms of abnor-
mality, because they cause people to
exercise less and to think more. This,
be says, puts an uusual strain on the
nervous system as compared with the
muscular system DR.. McDonald's
conclusions are as curious as his
theory: ''Eat meat and potatoes, I"
he declares, "or you may become
criminal"
