Steam Boating Become. Difficult.

No steamboat arrived at the Lewiston
docks from Riparia Sunday afternoon.
The steamer the Lewiston started down the
river Saturday morning but the strong
wind prevented progress to such an ex-
tent that Spokane passed the boat below
Penewawa on the trip down Sunday.
The river is so low that navigation is
difficult in fair weather and boating be-
comes dangerous when high wind is
blowing mp the narrow canyon beating
the waters into foam equal to the sea
surf. On It's voyage up stream last Fri
day the Spokane dragged on rocks and
1t was only by heroic work of the deck
hands on the bottom OF the boat that the
vessel was saved from sinking. Large
crowds gather on Snake river aveaue in
the evenings to witness the brave struggle
of the boats in the current of the rapids
above the bridge.

A UNION DEPOT.
President Harvey Says He Will
Lend His Support.

What is the matter with Hatties,
burg having union depot? She il
growing and the present railroad ia.
cilIties are inconvenient. Force:
have been at work some time toward
this end and one company has already
agreed to enter such a compact. fr
an interview with President 9. E.
Harvey of the Queen and Crescent,
Mayor Pich was assured that if the
other roads would agree the North
eastern would not hinder the execu-
tion of such plan.
Now is the time for Hattiesburg
to gain for itself much in the way OF
railroad accommodations. Let all
of the business men and commercial
clubs put their shoulder to the wheel
and help the mayor in the execution
of this laudable project
1t is not thought that it will be
hard to get the other three roads to
enter this agreement as all of them
seem to be kindly disposed toward the
city and desirous of aiding as much as
possible in its upbuilding. Meridian
had better look sharp or we will be
ahead Of that little city.

PROTEST AT BOSTON
Against the Action of President
Roosevelt.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 19.-The op-
position and criticism of the naming Of
William H. Lewis, a negro, assistant
district attorney for Massachusetts as
unnecessary and unjust, predicted last
night, is seconded today by the Her
aid, which says one of its reporters
saw federal office holders, lawyers
and citizens generally, not one Of
hom, acquainted with affairs in
the federal courts, that did not set
mp a protest. One and all acknowl.
edged firmly objecting TO his being
appointed as assistant district attor.
ney for this district. One prominent
lawyer, and leading republican at
that, said:
'Mr. Moulton has two assistants
now, and there is not work enough to
keep two men busy. Why President
Roosevelt should wish to have an
other man added.to the force is more
than can see. -
Another said:
The president is trying to justify
his action in appointing Crum to
the colletorship for South Carolina.
and so he goes out Of his way here in
Massachusetts to make room for
Lewis in position that there is not
the slightest excuse for creating"
Other lawyers seen were like
minded. In fact all pointed to the
fact that the Office of United States
district attorney for the, district of
Massachusetts carried little or no
work The real work falls ON First
Assistant Casey, who draws 81, 800
year. Lawyers referred to the fact
that for the past three years strenuous
efforts have been made to have Mr..
Casey's salary raised to $1,000, but
without avail.
1.-THE question that comes now, "
said one lawyer, lis why the govern
ment could not afford to give Mr.. Ca.
sey raise of $500, if it feels called
upon to create a new position for
the office, entailing an expense OF
about 81 500. 1t is generally argued
that Mr.. Moulton has plenty Of as
sistance to carry on the work Of his
Office at present without any other
appointment.
Lawyers generally fail to see any
reason for President Roosevelt to
go out of his way TO find position
for Lewis in this particular Office,
as they term it, to account for his
| troubles in South Carolina.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The presi-
dent continues as stubborn as ever in
his attitude toward the people Of In.
dianola. After conference at the
white house this afternoon Postmaster
General Payne stated that the post
office would remain closed until he
should receive assurance from the
mayor of the town and the sheriff of
the county that the posunistress
might return and continue undis-
.tnrbed in her duties As. yet this
assurance, he said, has not been
given, and there is nothing TO do
bnt 10 wait.
There is a postoftice and post
master at Indianola, he said, if
the people desire them.
Senator McLaurin called on Post
master General Payne and discussed
the situation with him, but nothing
was decided upon. Tonight Wallace
McLaurin, the senator's brother and
secretary. left for the seat of trouble
to personally advise with the citizens
and see what can be done to relieve
the difficulty. Mr.. Payne did not
disclose the contents of the report re-

ordered to Indianola. 1t is believed
here that if Minnie Cox continues TO
remain away from Indianola Of her
own volition, the president will be
obliged to appiont a successor and re-

ACASE OF SELFISHNESS.

There are people in some sections
who are always ready to throw a
damper over any movement beneficial
to their town or county if they think
that some certain individual will be
especially profited thereby or derive a
little extra money from. the trsnsac-
tion. They are imbued with an en-
vious spirit which causes them to pre-
fer seeing the interests of the town or
community sacrificed rather than for
some one person (unless it is them
selves) be benefited Its case of
"if I can't prosper | don't want you

LIVERY STABLE BOY
Of Ellisville Going to New Orleans
to Claim a Fortune.

Ellisyille, Jan. BIB. l.. Lowery,
president of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Bank, of this city, left for
New Orleans today to test the truth
of the story which, if true, possesses
a romantic interest such as is seldom
found in real life. With him goes
Joe Bunkley, a young man OF this
city, about 81 years of age. who is the
hero of the tale, and who, if reports
be true, is to be raised from poverty
to affiuence as a result of the trip.
Young Bunkley has resided here
for number of years under the care
and guardianship of Mrs. Bunkley,
who, it was known, was not his
mother. He has worked in livery
stables and about saw mills, is a lad
of only ordinary intelligence and
| without the advantages Of good school
ing. 1t is understood that from his
paternal grandfather he is now to
come into possession Of a fortune
variously estimated at from $50, 600 to
500, 900. His mother, according to
the story, was disinherited by her
father, prominent Texan, on account
of a runaway marriage, which proved
disastrous. Unable to care for the
son, she turned the child over to Mrs.
Bunkley, who brought him up here.
Recently, however. she has been
endeavoring to obtain traces OF him.
Letters written here from New Or
leans, perporting to come from his
mother, were referred by him to Mr..
Lowrey, at whose saw mill he is en-
ployed. After communicating with
| New Orleans parties, Mr.. Lowery
decided to take the trip with Bunkley
and investigate the matter, to see that
no undue advantage be taken OF the
bows ignorance of business transac-
tion. Bunkley's mother yesterday
sent him funds to make the journey
J to New Orleans, and the outcome OF
] the trip is awaited with great inter
J est by his friends and acquaintance
here.

ORIGIN OF THE INDIANOLA
TROUBLE.

The origin of the trouble at In
ianola which resulted in the closing
of the postoffice, has been recited a
number of times, but gentleman
just from Indianola puts the facts IN
this cconcise form: A young lady
who worked in the store of one of the
merchants there made complaint re-
Gently of the impudent actions of
negro youth who also worked around
the store. The negro, it is said, put
on airs and conducted himself in an
~Sobnoxious manner. He was waited
on by some gentleman, when, for
some reason or other, he suddenly left
town and never returned Race ami
mostly to some extent was aroused. A
nergo physician was ordered to leave
town, and then, though the postmas-
ter, Minnie Cox, had herself done
nothing, she too was given to under
stand that it was not agreeable to the
white people of Indisnola that she
continue to hold the office.
The Indianola, Miss Pensee
comes out this week under Heathman
date lines. In display type, in con-
spicuous part of the paper. the notice
is printed, "All mail intended for
persons residing at Indianola. if ad-
dressed Heathman, Miss, will be re-
ceived.'
The leading editorial states that the
people of the town are agreed that
nergo shall never again be postmaster
of the town. The administration II
bitterly attacked. The following il
one of the local briefs concerning the
situation:
Indianola has been for several day
overrun with newspaper reporter

A-LITTLE LESSON.

journalism is noble profession.
AS whole, the press of Mississippi
is high toned in principal and lofty
in sentiment, and is worthy of the
profession. But we regret to say that
there are few papers afflicted with
editors who seem TO think tif they
think that profanity and vulgarity
are evidences of genius. Such papers
are not fit to enter decent homes. and
their editors should be made to de-
pend upon low-fiung vulgarians for
support, which would result in their
speedy extinction. .-Carrollton Con-
