WHIT OWENS GRANTED CHANGE
OF VENUE TO YALL0BUSHA

Oxford, March 1.-THE case
against Whit Owens for the killing of
the negro, Hamp Williams, was called
in court here today. Owens was re-
Gently granted a new trial by the
supreme court. His attorney today
applied for a change of venue, and
Judge Lowery granted the change to
Yalobusha county. Court is now in
session at Water Valley, in that
county, but the Owens case will hardly
come up this term. This will change
both the judge and the prosecuting
attorney. Judge Cook will preside.
and District Attorney Brewer will
prosecute in the new trial. District
Attorney Roane, who has had charge
of the states case in the former trials,
will likely assist District Attorney
Brewer in this prosecution.

RATIFIED BY THE SENATE.

Washington, March 17.-The Pana-
ma canal treaty was ratified by the
senate 73 to 8.
The Panama canal treaty between
the United States and Columbia,
which was ratified today, was signed
at Washington on January %, 1908.
1t was negotiated by Secretary Hay on
the part of the United States, and
Thomas Herran, charge d. affairs, on
the part Of Columbia, who signed
the document. On January 20 it was
sent to the president and by him sent
to the senate on the same date. 1t was
referred TO the committee on foreign
relations on the same day and reported
back on February 3. The treaty was
discussed at some length during the
last congress. On March 5, the day
the special session of the senate con-
vened, the treaty was again referred
to the froiegn relations committee, and
on March 8 was again reported to
the senate, which since time it had
been under discussion. Neither in

KRAG-JORGENSEN DEADLIEST
OF ANY SMALL FIRE ARM.

The essential tests of the new army
rife, said to be the deadliest small
arm in modern warfare, have been
finished. The war department has
for two years past pushed the work of
developing an entirely new arm which
is a composite of the Krag -Jorgensen
and Mauser, as we'll as number Of
heretofore untried devices.
The new arm is known as the
Springfield rife. Tho Burlington
sight of the Krag-Jorgensen gun has
been replaced by the Dickson sight, in
the belief that the latter, being of
open, or military pattern, will be pro-
ductive of better craftsmanship. The
knife bayonet of the Krag- -Jorgnesen
gun is replaced by rod bayonet.
The velocity of the bullet of the old
Springfield gun used in the civil war
was between 1900 and 400 feet per
second. The velocity of the Krag-
Jorgensen is 1000 feet per second and
in the new rife speed ls increased to
2, 300 feet.

THE PLANTATION MULE.
He 10 sagacious and Quick Witted In
Many Respects,

He Is sagacious and Quick Witted In
Many Respects.
'The plantation mule has a curious
and interesting way Of calling out the
time of day." said a man from Mis-
sippl to the New Orleans Times-D Dem
Ocrat, 'and with men who have spent
any considerable length Of time on a
big plantation In any section of this
country south Of Mason and Dixon's
line l suppose the observation is very
common. Mules are wonderfully saga
cious and quick-witted In some re.
spects. They are particularly apt in
learning things which have to do with
bodily comfort; such things, for In
stance, as relates to feed time, water
Ing time, and SO forth. But the par
ticular thing | had In mind was the
habit of mules along about turning
In time at the noon hour, and In the
evening. They have a way of tell
Ing the time, and when more than
one mule is to be found In the field,
they have way of calling out to
each other. They bray at each other.
One curious fact In connection with
the habit is that they are never be-
hind time with their braying. At the
noon hour they never wait until the
time for the dinner horn to sound.
They call out to each other, and In a
short while you viii be certain to hear
the horn blow. AS rule they are only
a few minutes ahead Of time with their
braying, which shows how accurately
they reason with respect to the time of
the day. This habit furnishes a part
OF the music of the big plantation,
and II may be said that the mule Is
the leader Of the farm orchestra,
for the negroes invariably follow the
first call OF the mule with a halloo pc
culiar to the negro farm hand, and the
sound is taken up again and again un-
til every mule and every negro on the
place has Joined in the strange orches-
tration. You can imagine what this
means on a plantation containing thou
sands of acres, and where many mules
and many negroes are scattered over
vast cultivated plateau. 1t is an In
spring sort Of thing to the man not
familiar with plantation life, but &
man long accustomed to 1t becomes
dead to the sounds, and scarcely no
tices them. The point had in mind,
however, was the shrewdness, and
good sound sense Of the mule with
respect to matters Immediately con-
cerning his welfare and comfort. He
is a wonder in some respects and is
not to be judged by the dullness Of his
appearance"

GOAT is WORTH A BIG SUM.
Two Thousand Dollars Is Asked for a
Iocky Mountain Specimen.
(To be continued.)


Two Thousand Doliars Is Asked for a
IOcKy Mountain Specimen.
Mr.. Pugh, Of Vancouver, B. O., has
the only Rocky Mountain goat ever
captured alive, and he wants $4,000
for it. 1t is the opinion Of many that
the animal Is well worth that sum.
Mr.. Pugh is hunter. trapper and
taxidermist, and when, two years ago,
the Vancouver 200" offered $1,000 for
a live specimen of the Rocky Mountain
goat he resolved to win the prize. 9th
ers had spent thousands of dollars in
trying to fill the zoos order, but in
vain. The mountain goat, the shyest,
but among the most beautiful Of anil
mails, resisted all attempts at capture.
Finally kid was secured and nursed
for a month on a bottle just where it
was caught, at very high altitude. 1t
grew lusty and was safely landed in
England Then came Mr.. Pugh's sue
ces5ful attempt, from which he has
just returned.
His plan was a novel one. He and
two companions travelled into a land
of eternal SHOWS, forty miles up Squa-
mish River. British Columbia, where no
white man had ever been. AS anticI-
pated, he found that the wild animals
goats, bears, wolves. marten, fisher,
etc.-did not fear man as much as each
other. He soon caught seven kids, but
the beautiful creatures all died when
they struck che lower atmosphere. His
only hope was to capture yearling.
At last, after stalking one for thres
days, he drove 1t onto ledge two feet
wide running along a perpendicular
cliff. His companions then tied a rope
around his waist and lowered him to
the ledge, 800 feet below. The goat
trotted along until the ledge pinched
out. Then, standing on Its hind legs,
it clawed the air like a waltzing horse.
Below the beast was a drop of 1900
feet, with nothing even for a mountain
goat to cling to. On one side was va
cant space, on the other side a man.
Mr.. Pugh allowed the creature to tire
itself out paving the air and the side
Of the cliff above, when 1t deliberately
erouched down at his feet, and, look
ing pleadingly into his eyes, waited to
be devoured
Mr. Pugh held the goat unreslstlng in
his arms and goat and man were haul
ed to the top of the cliff. A dozen other
unsuccessful attempts were made. In
some cases the goats leaped 100 feet
and escaped from their pursuers. The
kids captured leaped 80 or 40 feet in
their attempts to get away, but in their
youthful folly landed in the deep snow.
The goat captured became tame before
reaching the valley and ate out of its
captor's hand.

The grocer, consulting his memoran
dunn book, resumed:
'It Is recorded that when the queen

for her own princely wearing there

how to starch them, but the queen
made special means for some women
that could starch and Mrs. Gullham

first starcher.'
