CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Ex-lndian Agent Martin Bentley Is
in Serious Trouble.

w SSiiOdo
Shawnee, Ok, April 2.-Ex-Indian
Agent Martin Bentley, one of the best
known men in the Territory, was ar
rested on a charge of conspiracy
against the government by Deputy
United States Marshal John Jones.
Bentley gave bond for his appearance
before the commissioner. The facts
leading to the arrest are these: Three
months ago an Indian named Pah
Ka Tah and a number of relatives
left for Mexico and took with them
property belonging to the government.
The indians loaded into cars six mules,
-unle wagons, farm implements. etc,
and before the stuff started to its
destination, the fact came into the
possession of he authorities, who sue
ceeded in getting the six mules out
of the car. The other stuff was final
ly taken into Mexico, after having
been held UP at Oklahoma City and
Eagle Pass. The charges are that
Bentley assisted the Indians and acted
as their attorney in the case.

Regretful Error.

Newspapers have their troubles
This time we are jerked up for stat
ing in Yesterdays paper that Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomasson chaperoned the party
of young people who INDUCED in the
dance at the Elks' Hall Monday night.
1t should be remembered that there
is no dictionary that we can fall back
on when it comes to names of persons,
and the similarity Of names and the
resemblance of a familiar name when
written to some other perhaps not ia
miliar yet resembling the one that is
familiar causes the l,rin-sr, VINO is
perfectly innocent, to Jump at tine
first conclusion-the name he is IA
miliar with, which the one before
him resemb bles- it, hoping
in doing so that he has done the right
thing.
These mistakes often occur f;om
indistinct writing" not dotted,
"t's'' not crossed, ms, D." ms"
and "w's'' difficult to discern be-
tween, and the printer being total
stranger to avery one whose name is
down upon the paper before him and
still greater stranger az to the GUS
toms, creeds and religions of this and
that one, he would be just as apt as
not, to have an amen corner church
member leading the first couple in a
dance.
We regret exceedingly the error re-
ferred to, which was occasioned by
name which appeared on the manu-
script resembling it and trust that this
makes the amende honorable.

Jackson, Dec. 2 j. +. Barnes,
who was awarded the contract by the
Mississippi Worlds Fair commission
to erect the Mi ssissippi state building
at the st. Louis Exposition, has re-
turned from st. Louis, where he be-
gan work cn the proposed structure.
The state building is to oe an exact
reproduction of Beauvoir, the last
home of jefferson Davis. situated on
the gulf coast, where he wrote his
famous "Rise and Fall of the Con-
federacy" The replace is to cost
$l5. 900.
Mr.. Barnes says that the site given
to Mississippi for her building is the
prettiest in the whole fair grounds,
and "BeauyoIr" will show up splen-
didly when it is completed.
A large force of hands in charge
of competent foreman and architect
were left to work on the building,
which Mr.. Barnes says will be com
pleted by May.

VOLUME v"
The Progress Enters Upon Its Fifth
Year as Daily Paper, With Colors
Flying and Prospects Bright.

With the issue of yesterday the
Daily Progress entered upon its fifth
volume with flying colors, going into
the homes of it's large and increasing
list of subscribers carrying eight
pages of well-filled columns of choice
reading matter and showing an adver-
tising patronage such as was never
the case with a daily paper in the
state of Mississippi.
1t is to be regretted that there are
few here in Hattiesburg who will
never be made believe what such a pa
per means for the community, and
yet it is cause for congDatulation
that there are enough who du to al
ways keep ths little barque triumph
antly sailing on placid waters, famed
by propitious winds froaa apple
ciative shores.
The management behind the affairs
of The Progress has nothing but the
kindest feeling for those who feel that
Hattiesburg is too small to have a
daily paper, at the same time their
belief will place no damper npon the
zeal and ardor to make good the be-
lief of the majority who feel that
Hattiesbnrg is big enough now to
have Just anything she wants.
In word, we feel not the least
perturbed at having among US few
of the old school croakers. for they
exist everywhere. and no community
is complete without them, but life s
too short to stop to listen at their
tales of woe aud The Progress is not
going TO do it,
With greetings to all the people
and thanks to the liberal, progressive
spirit rife in Hattiesburg, to which,
at last The Progress is indebted for
the grand show it is enabled to make
today, we, in this number, present you
with the second edition OF Volume
''V."

Senator McLaurin is more impress

democratic success in 1904. He
thinks the republican party has be-

afraid to take stand for fear of the

No complete and satisfactory series
of tests on large sticks of timber has
ever been made in this country.
Lumber manufacturers in the south
and the Pacific states are especially
interested in this work, since they
wish to know more about their pro-
duct. They have contributed gratis
much of the material used in the
tests.
The chief timbers now being tested
are the southern pines and the red fiji
of the Pacific coast. In the labrato-
ries at Washington tests are now in
progress in loblolly pine sticks II feet
long and SKA, SxS and SKA inches.
Special attention is given to the
effects of moisture on the strength OF
wood. In the case of loblolly pine
which has grown rapidly, the strength
was found to decrease 30 to so pei
cent after the dry wood had been
soaked several days in water. The
fact. however, is not yet established
and will have to be proved by further
experiments. The timbers tested are
of the usual grades purchased in the
market and are not selected pieces.
At the labratory OF the Yale Forest
School in New Haven small selected
pieces of longleaf pine, without knots
or other defects, are being tested SO as
to learn what is the ultimate strength
Of the fibres.
At Berkeley, CAL, tests are being

The home was to have been thrown
