WILL NOT TOLERATE WRONG.
Done By Brutal And Lawless Men
Of Indianola.
THE PosToFFIcE is CLOSED.

Washington, Jan. 5.-After dis
cussion of the matter by the cabinet. it
was decided to issue a formal state
ment concerning the Indianola case,
which has been sent out, and which is
as follows:
is Mrs. Monnie w. Cox, a colored
woman. She served three years as
postmaster under President Harrison
When President Mckinley ca me in she
was again appointed, in 1897, nearly
six years ago. Her character and
standing in the community are in
dOrsed by the best and most reputable
people in the town.
Among those on her bond is the
present Democratic state senator from
the district, together with the leading
banker of Indianola and an ex-senator
from the district, also a Democrat. The
postmaster and her husband own from
$40, 900 TO SIS, 200 worth of property in
Sunf1ower county. The reports of
postoffice inspectors show that she has
given the utmost satisfaction to all the
patrons of the office; that she at all
and honest in the discharge of her
duty; her moral standing in the COM
munity is of the highest; her reputation
is of the best: few offices of this grade
in any state are conducted better
THE postmaster recently forwarded
heaTs 10 &olz
uary /, but the report of inspectors
and information received from
various reputable white citizens
of the neighborhood show that the
resignation was forced by brutal and
1awless element purely upon the
der terror of threats. The mayor of
the town and the sheriff OF the county
both told the postofice inspector that
if she refused to resign they could not
be answerable for her safety, although
not one word was said agsinst her. On
January the bondsmen of the post
master telegraphed that the postofice
was closed; that the postmaster claimed
that her resignation was in the presi-
dents hands to take effect January !,
and that there had been no advice of
the appointment of her successor
The telegram closed with the state
ment that prompt action by the presi-
dent necessary for the relief of busi-
ness interests which are being injured
solely by the lawless element of the
town is wholly secondary to the preser-
walton of the fundamental principle
that the government will not conniye
at or tolerate wrong and outrage of
such fragrant character"
by direction of the president the
following was sent to the bondsmen:,
The pos tmaster's resignation has been
received. bnt not accepted In view of
the facts the postoffice at Indianola is
closed. All mail for that place will be
forwarded to Greenville The case
will be referred to the attorney gen
eral

French Present to Roosevelt.

Paris, Jan. "a proposal has been
made to present a piece of sculpture to
President Roosevelt in recognition OF
his services to the cause of interna-

the outgrowth of the Venezuelan af-

The funds for the purpose probably
will be raised by private subscription
among European advocates of peace.
1t is proposed that the work be ex-
ecuted by prominent French sculIGor.

DR.. Crichton-B Brown on the Horrors
of Food-The Death-Deal-
ing Oyster!
New York Sun Special Service.

London, Jan. 5.-Dr. Sir James Crich-
tom Brown, In lecture dilated upon the
decay in the digestive faculties of civilized
man. to which. he said, a number of dis
eases could be traced. Not only have
modern men not got such teeth as their
ancestors had. but their saliva is less
abundant: owing to the softer pulpier
peptenized foods The rinerea se,s of zap.
pendicits is largely due to indigestion re-
sulting from imperfect mastication and the
hurried methods of living. From the same
cause. people are less able to resist dis
ease. Consequently there is greater rea-
son for sanitary precautions against inju-
rious bacteria He instanced various
cases Of dangerous food contamination,
and described the oyster as a potential
torpedo in the bowels. Referring to the
recent outbreaks of typhoid in Winchester
and Southampton he said the disease could
be traced to oysters -..-... - So
He attributed Indifference and Incidence
to the public and negligence to purNeyors
and declared that il legislation providing
for the stringent inspection of oyster beds
was not passed an incalculable amount of
typhoid fever was in store. All foods
needed enforced protection from bacterial
contamination. Antisepticism must enter
to some degree into the daily life Of all
and regulate shopping and cooking.

the president on the Cuba treaty and It
was discussed briefly. Both are confident
that the treaty will be ratified.
President Roosevelt's confidence has not

legislation that they would support the
treaty. It is understood also that many Of
