Al TON MAIL BOXES
R|FLEO BY THIEVES
Locks Were Twisted OFF and Con-
tents Confiscated.
POST OFFICE DEPT. NOTIFIED
Postal Authorities, After InvestiGa-
tion, Do Not Believe Much Booty
Was Tnken-There Is No Clue
to the Robbers.

Alton, H., Sept 21-Ten mail boxes
in Alton were broken open Sunday
morning and the contents taken. 1t Is
believed that the robbers made good
haul, but the postal authorities do
not entertain the suggestion that the
profits could have been large.
Saturday night was pay night at the
glass works, and it is the theory of
the police that the robbers thought
that much money would be put in the
mail at late hour, to be forwarded to
other towns, where some of the glass
blowers families live.
Yesterday morning when the carriers
made their regular collections they
found that locks had been twisted off
the boxes and broken. After taking
the mail the robbers put the padlocks
inside the boxes and closed the doors
in order to postpone discovery as late
as possible
Postmaster w. T. Norton Immediate
ly wired information to the postal au-
thorities and the investigation will be
started this morning by an inspector
detailed from the Chicago district Of
flee.
Late Yesterday afternoon, while a
further investigation was being made,
it was found that three more boxes
had been robbed, and it is feared that
the raid may have been more wide
spread than was at first supposed. The
boxes broken open are in thickly-
settled part of the city, and the terri
tory is well patrolled by policemen.

oldes. Twins in the World.

The county of Holmes boasts, and
no doubt with clear title, to the
claim that within her borders live
the oldest twins in the United
States, if not in the world. They
are Betsy and Della Randall, col
ored, who have recently celebrated
their 1O3d birthday in fitting style.
They live ON a farm few miles
north of the town of Lexington, and
are both hale and hearty and able to
do as much work as the average per
eon of little more than half their
years. They were brought to Mis-
sissippi about sixty years ago, and
it is said that their descendants,
who number in the hundreds, are
scattered from one end of the State
te the other.

Removal Rusnor Denied.

The report sent out last week
through these columns that the Illi-
nCis Central Railroad Company
contemplated the removal of their
machine shops at an early date from
McComb City to jackson seems to
have been unfounded. The Nc
Comb City board of trade asserts
that it has substantial assurance
that there is nothing in this rumor.
The report is believed to have had
its origin in the fact that the COM
pany has in contemplation the es-
tablishing at Jackson of such repair
shops as will be necessary at point
where three of its lines run to-
gether--as the main line, the Yazoo
branch and the Natchez branch.

Pension Rolls Incomplete.

w. w. Simonton of the pension
department of the auditors Office,
who has charge of the pension dis
tribution, makes an announcement
of the greatest Importance to PEN
sioners who we're on the roll last
year. Mr.. Simonton states that the
clerks of the various counties, in
making out their pension rolls for
the next distribution, have, in many
instances, sent in only the names of
the new pension applicants and have
failed to include in their lists
the names of all pensioners who
drew pensions last year and who are
still living and eligible to draw for
the coming year. The new pension
roll will be made up on October l.,
and the auditors clerk is compelled
TO make up the new roll from
the lists of pensioners sent in by the
clerks. He cannot add to the lists,
and where the lists fail to show all
the pensioners who drew last year,
and who are still entitled to draw,
these last year pensioners will be
dropped from the roll. Mr.. Simon
ton therefore advises that the clerks
who have failed to include the last
year pensioners send in supplement
tai or additional lists, including all
who drew last year and are still eli
gible. There remains only a few
more days in which these corrections
can be made, and Mr.. Simonton is
very anxious to have on the next roll
all the pensioners who are entitled
to draw.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has received the set OF
resolutions from the Central Labor
union of Washington in the Miller case
and has sent the secretary Of the or
ganization a formal reply, merely to
the effect that he got the communica-
ton. 1t is not probable that he Will

union, his friends say.
1t can be stated almost officially that
President Roosevelt will not accede to
the demand of the union by ordering
the dismissal of Miller as foreman OF
the bindery department of the govern

WORKING MURDER MYSTERY.
Alton Police Think Man Found ON
Chicago & Alton Tracks Was
Murdered.

Alton, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-The Alton po-
lice are trying to determine whether
Louis Grader was killed and body aft
erward placed on the Chicago & Alton
tracks, or was accidentally killed by
a passing switch engine. Grader was
found dead in the Alton yards, his body
mangled and his pockets empty. FRI
day night.
1t was then supposed he was killed
by an engine, but Saturday morning his
brother gave the information that Cra-
der had in his possession $23 shortly
before his body was found. The place
where Graders body was found is a
lonely spot, and many assaults have
been committed there.

Mineral Deposits in Mississippi,

Two or three counties in the
northeastern portion of the State
are beginning to attract great deal
OF attention because of the discovery
of deposits of minerals of most
every kind, and the organization of
a strong company to develop them.
Representatives of the Itawamba
Coal and Oil Development Company
are showing samples of coal, iron,
silver, copper and other minerals
that have been taken from their
properties. and there does not seem
to be any room for doubt that there
is fortune in those everlasting old
hills for somebody. Parties from
outside the State recently purchased
several thousand acres of these
lands, and it is stated that they are
backed by abundant capital to de-
velop them. Mississippians have
never doubted that their State is
rich in mineral deposits, but they
have never had the means of finding
out for certain, or of pushing what
they did know.

Can't. Brown Dead.

Capt. e. w. Brown, clerk of the
Supreme Court, and the Democratic
nominee to succeed himself in the
same Office, died at his home in
Jackson last week, after an illness
of more than two months, of cancer.
Capt. Brown was one of the noblest
Romans of them all, a brave Confed-
crate soldier, and there was not a
more popular or more generally be-
loved officer and man in the whole
State. His death will be deeply re-
gretted by every man, woman and
child who had the honor to know
him.

Erickson, who is said to be insane, en-
tered the Scandinavian American bank,
