SAW MAJOR AND THE FLAG.
Major Edwards Met Old Time Friends
From South Dakota.

VVOm Soutn OdNOta
Fargo Forum: Arthur Linn, an
old-time resident of Bismarck in ter
ritorial days, afterwards chief of the
Soldiers ONE in South Dakota. now
editor of the Canton, S. d., Register,
publishes the following report of a
visit a few weeks since to Montreal
by Col. Greene. when the Colonel
called on the Major, which the latter
will no doubt be glad to read:
In discussing old times and events
of years ago at Bismarck with Col. J.
M. Greene Wednesday, who was a
member of the last territorial legis-
lature, We happened to mention Major
Edwards. Yes said the Colonel.
THE Major is now consul-general at
Montreal, and | had a pleasant visit
with him last summer while travelling
with the railroad commissioners.
We were taking a drive through that
famous old city, and our party, which
included Governor Herreid, were feel
ing the effect of being among a peo-
pie who had no particular love for
Americans. was thinking how
good it would be to see old glory
floating somewhere among so many
Union Jacks, and just as we turned a
corner. / saw, a little distance ahead,
the glorious old stars and stripes
floating proudly in the breeze, and |
tell you it made us all feel happy. l
never saw the old flag look so big
and so bright as then. I have seen
regimental flags come up out of the
battle smoke leading on to the victory,
and that was a sight to thrill the
heartblood of a soldier, still it seemed
that a sight of a flag in King Edwards
country. where we had travelled so far
without seeing one was something I
shall never forget. At home we pay
little attention to flags, but go out
among a strange people in a strange
country ana see l1elT nallOfldl COIOTS
flying everywhere, then, more than
ever. you long for a sight of the ban
ner that is bringing freedom to the
world. AS we got in front of the
house where the flag was flying, | told
the driver to bault. This must be the
home of the American Consul said
Governor Herreid. and we left the
carriage in a hurry and We're ushered
into the reception room of the consul
later, ard out came the great big
hearted Edwards. When he recog-
nized his visitors he almost Rugged
the life out of us-he went wild with
joy to see oldtime Dakotans. We en-
joyed a pleasant visit with the big
Fargoan. but he is not as heavy by
100 pounds as he was when he and
Alex Mckenzie and Jud La Moure
were figuring for division and for
statehood. He seems to enjoy his
honors with becoming modesty."

had been allowed to spread un-
checked. He found the county of.

lisned. so that a further spread Of the
disease is rot anticipated. There
have been a large number of deaths

The vicksbura Strike.

The strike of the street ear men at
Vicksburg continues and there is no
evidence of weakening on either the
official or the operative side. The
officials of the company state they
cannot grant the demands of their
late employees and must reserve the
right to employ whom they please.
In the meantime the street cars have
been operated on the same modified
schedule, rather short-handed, but
without interference, and no open
acts of violent opposition are antic-
ipated from the striking union men.
There is a sympathetic feeling on
the part of certain of the trades
unions here with the car men, and
it is rumored that in the event OF
the holding out of the railway COM
pany and their continuing to use
scab labor they will precipitate a
general strike. The labor men deny
this, but Notwithstanding the i'm
preston will not down that some
such step is contemplated.

BANK CASHIER CONFESSEs.
diverted Funds mt First to Pay Divt.
dends ON Stock and Then to Keep
Up Extravagant Living.

New York, Aug. 17.-Cashier Enoch
l.. Cowart of the suspended Navesink
national bank, at Redbank, N. j., has
confessed to Bank Examiner w. A. Ma
son, who is acting as receiver, that he
embezzled $4,000 of the banks funds.
Cowart was prevailed upon to make
confession and restitution by Receiver
Mason, who told him to do so would
go long way in mitigating IS punish
ment.
Cowi.rt said. he had diverted the
funds ;irst to pay dividends on the
il.illiiSs stock in order to keep up its
price, and later he began taking money
to keep up the extravagant style of liv-
ing he indulged in at Asbury Park.
where he mingled with fast set and
lived at an extravagant pace, which his
salary did not justify. No inkling OF
his double life was ever had by his
business associates in Redbank.
Desperate efforts were made to keep
the Navesink national bank open, and
a New York bank offered assistance,
but the run of depositors was SO great
that it was forced to close its doors.

Negro Hana.a at Hattiesburs.

A negro, Amos Jones, was hanged
by a mob at Hattiesburg last week
for shooting and mortally wounding
Jailer NJ. NJ. Sexton.
Jones and another negro named
McElroy, who were prisoners, seized
Sexton, intending to break from the
jail. McElroy threw Sexton down
and two white youths, who were also
prisoners, held him. The negroes
disarmed Sexton and Jones shot
him, inficting three wounds that
are said to be fatal. A crowd gath
cred outside the jail and deputy
and others entered and overpowered
three of the prisoners. In the con-
fusion McElroy escaped from the
Jail and has not been caught.
The crowd yet outside of the jail
decided to lynch Jones. Prominent
men urged them to desist and the
wounded jailer sent word to leave
the man unharmed. The mob took
Sheriff Batson and tied him. The
fire brigade was asked to turn out
and help disperse the mob, but re-
fused. The mob then broke into a
window of the jail and cut the ne
gro out of his cell with chisels. He
was brought out to the crowd of
about 500 mne and boys, rope tied
around his neck and he was dragged
through the town to Gordon creek
bridge, where he was hanged to tel
egraph pole and pistol bullets were
fred into his body. 1t is thought
he was dead before he was hanged.
The sheriff had telegraphed to the
governor when the mob first assem-
bled and an order came to the local
militia to turn out and protect the
negro, but it was not received until
after the lynching was accomplished.
While the mob was forming and
threatening to lynch the white pris-
oners also, the sheriff took these,
three in number, from the city jail
and put them on the train and sent
them to Jackson.

TWIGG'S SEVENTH VICTIM.
Another of the Men Shot by the
Maniac Is Dead-FOur Not Ex-
pected to Recover.

Winfield, Kas., Aug. 17.-One more
of the men shot by Twigg, the maniac,
Thursday night, died Saturday night.
He was Elmer Farnsworth, who had
been in business here for 20 years. He
was the first to fall. The total number
of dead including Twigg, the murderer,
is seven The recovery of Otis Carter,
VIM. Moore, Clyde Reed, Charles
Thomas and Everett Ridgeway is
doubtful. About twenty-eight others
are suffering from arm, leg, shoulder
and scalp wounds, and probably half
that number will be crippled for life.

the bodies of Bowman and Billiter, Sat
urday night, and over the body OF
Twigg Sunday. Twigg has not yet been
buried. Five funerals occurred yes
terday and another one is set for to-

Farmers Industrial Convention.

President j. G. Hardy of the A.
and NJ. College, Starkyille, has is
sued the following letter in regard
to a State farmers industrial con-
yenticn:
q desire to thank the press of
Mississippi for the cooperation that
has always been given us in getting
our work before the people. Through
the assistance rendered us by the
different papers of the State We have
had the largest attendance at our
farmers Institutes this season that
we have ever had, and the interest
has been first-class in every respect.
We have held nearly one hundred
institutes, with an attendance OF
more than 10000 farmers, and we
will close our institute season with
a roundup meeting at the col
lege on September 2, 3 and 4. This
meeting will be called State farm
ers' institute and industrial conven-
ton. We feel sure that all the rail
roads of the State will give rate
of one fare for the round trip.
Sleeping quarters will be furnished
free, and meals will be given at our
mess hall at actual cost.
"Some of the most prominent ag-
riculturalists of Canada and the
United States will be present and
take part in the program. This
will be a splendid opportunity for
the farmers of the State to visit the
college and inspect the work of our
experimental station. A pleasant
and profitable time is promised all
who may come, and all are invited.
''We desire to extend to you, and
through you, to your patrons, a spe-
cial invitation. Please give full no
tiee of this meeting in your issue for
this week, and later we will send you
a complete program of the meeting
to be published in your next issue.
Thanking you in advance for
keeping this matter prominently be-
fore the people of your section, | am,
very respectfully,
81. c. HARDY, President"

PROTEST EXTRA SESSION
Members of Congress Prefer Novem-
Der to October.
Efforts to Have President Abandon
Decision of Setting Opening
Earlier Than Intended.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Protests from
received against the proposal to call
the extra session of the congress in Oc-
tober. A number of frantic kilograms
have come suggesting that members of
the administration here use their infiu-
ence with the president in an effort to
have him abandon the reported deci-
sion of setting the opening day much
earlier than was originally intended. In
at least two instances these kilograms
were answered by the statement that
their contents would be made known to
the president, and that no definite de-
cision had been reached as TO the date,
and none will be until all interested
have been heard.
1t would seem that the suggestion
for an carrier day for the meeting OF
congress not only fails to receive IA
vorahle response, but has brought pro-
tests TO Oyster Bay. A correspondent
who has just come from there says that
Mr. Roosevelt was quite surprised by
the feeling shown, and that he dis
claimed responsibility for originating
the suggestion and pointed out that it
came from senatorial callers. AS
viewed here the advantages of assem-
bling congress in October are more
than Offset by its disadvantages. II
such a course is persisted in, it is not
thought possible to bring to Washing
ton the senators and members who
have local elections in course in their
states. They would demand, as one of
them stated in telegram, even If the
session is called, that nothing be done
until the full membership can leave
their states and participate in the dis
cussion. No strong objection has been
made against the extra session for No
vember if the president thinks 1t is
