BATTLE HYMN OF PANAMA.

From no mountain height of freedom
Was cur glorious flag unfurled,
And we sought no grand stand plaud-
it's,
Firing shots heard round the world.
Times have changed since CORY heroes
OF their fights for country Dragged;
Mid no war shouts rose our standard,
But our courage never tagged.
Fer we sat in secret conclave
When we built us up a state,
Sons of freedom, cool and cautious,
Subtle. keen, and up-to-date;
Laid our wires with skill artistic,
Planning 'gainst untimely slips,
With much faith in business methods
And an Uncle who has ships.
No long list of dead and wounded
GlOrifies cur virgin scroll,
Though against the constitution
We set out for freedoms goal;
But we've shown how modern heroes
Free from wild, unseemly hate,
Can, without undue excitement,
Build republics while you wait

there is but little doubt but that some

mitted there. ChaS. Mullen was anoth-
er who was tempted by the low price of
the fire arms. He bought two and leav-
ing them at the saloon was on his way
home when he was held up by the men
he had bought the guns of. They made
but little trouble for him and he hurried
back and getting one of the guns cap
tured one of the foot pads. Another
was taken in tow by officer Sigala but
the third escaped.
The captured ones gave their names
as John Moody and Roy Sharp. Their

TEMPE
BURGLARS AT WORK.
The Raiding of Shoe Store on Sun
day Night.

Some time Sunday night burglars en-
tered the shoe store belonging to ]. E.
Price and helped themselves literally
to shoes Of all sizes, shapes and colors
The first sign of the robbery was dis
covered early yesterday morning by
Henry Schmidt, who has charge of the
store. On entering the store he saw
that something had happened. empty
shoe boxes were scattered all about the
room. and On going to the back of the
Ioom it was found that the back door
had been forced open and further search
brought to light a sack which had been
taken from the shoe maker it was
found on Mr.. Hammers wood pile and
contained about Is shoes. The peculiar
thing about it though was that no two
of the shoes were mates. About ten
o'clock Mr.. Harmer heard a noise in
the back yard and he went to the door
1t is supposed this frightened the thieves
away but why they should have thrown
the sack of shoes away or why they
took only the odd shoes cannot be &C
counted for. Though they did not seem
particular about the size or style they
were good judges of value for all the
shoes taken were valued above So.
No trace of the thieves has been
found and it is hard to decide whether
il was some hoboeS or some one living
in town. 1t would seem that the affair
was premediated for last Thursday
night Mr.. Harmer heard some one
around the back of the store and shot
in the air to brighten him away. Sun
day evening though the town was full
of travelling hoboes and it is thought
possibly some Of them were the guilty
parties.

NOT HEREDITARY.
Badness Due to Living Minute
Germ.

Many people, even unto the present
day of grace, consider badness due to
hereditary influence.
Nothing is further from the truth
badness is caused by the onslaught of
a minute organism which secretes it
self beneath the scalp and attacks the
roots of the hair-causing it to lose its
life and fall out.
This organism cannot be got rid of
except by the free and persevering use
Of Newbro's Herpicide.
No matter how badly the scalp is
affected the Dandruff surely disap-
pears and hair health is restored when
Herpicide is applied.

ADOPT CARRIE NATIONS METHODS.
Jackson Officials DemOIish A Blind I'll.
ger Den With Axes.

Jackson Miss, Dec. 31.-There
we're exciting times this morning
on the Rankin Turnpike. Some
days ago one of the blind tigers
burned down there and this morn
ing the officers heard that the pro-
prletors were preparing to re-
build, and that the foundation was
up. When this information was
conveyed to the Mayor at the
City Hall a council of war was
held and soon there was a little
procession of male Carrie Nations,
armed with axes, going over to
cut down the foundations. Those
in the party were: Mayor Hem
lngway, Alerman Chiles, Chief of
PoliceTaylor and Officer Lin Cor
din. The place is situated just
across the river from the city in
Rankin County. When the Off
GERS arrived on the scene they
were told that they could not in
terfere with the work that was
going on, but this did not make
any difference, with them. The
axes were soon in motion and in a
few minutes the foundations
were kindling wood. Mayor Hem
lngway glanced around and saw
pistol in the coat pocket of Dick
Ford, one of the mon who is al
legged TO be interested IN the
place. Chief of Police Taylor
took the pistol away from the
young fellow. Mayor llomlng-
way stated that the men were ex-
ceedingly impudent. They abused
the officers for everything that
they could think Of. Alderman
Chiles and Officer Gordin did
most of the cutting, and the in
terested parties stood by and
guyed them, sayin. that they
were cut out for wood choppers,
and should follow the vocation
for living. The officers paid no
attention to these gihes. bit con
tlnued their work until the foun-
dati9n Of the house was nothing
but kindling. The turnpike is
under the Jurisdiction of the city
and some time ago the council
gave the keepers of the tigers
notice to move. but they have not
doHe SO and proceedings are to be
instituted in the Chancery Court
in March to oust them as tres
passers. The city treated the upp
who are trying t9 replace their
house Wh.oh was burned as tres.
passers, and will not allow them
to rebuild it, As parting shot
the n,nn threatened to have the
officers indicted by the Rankin
County Grand Jury, The city
officials will chop it down every
.lme an attempt is made to re-
build.
This afternoon Mayor Heming-
way applied to Chancellor Mayes
fora temporary injunction restrain
ing the blind tigerites from re-
building the burned building
on the Rankin Pike. -Picayune
