THERE is an old story which re-
lates that a group of men were
gathered about a poor fellow,wh ose
horse had dropped dead expressing
their sympathy because of the loss.
An aged man, seeing the crowd,
sauntered up, he saw the condition,
heard the expression, then bring
ing out a we'll worn wallet he said:
"You fellows sympathize, but
sympathy n'tbuy another horse.
Does your sympathy reach your
-pocketbook? If SO, dig up"
But ere he he'd finished his ap-
peal, most Of the crowd sudde My
had business elsewhere.
There are lots Of people who
'sympathize" with any progressive
movement, with any public enter
prise, but somehow that "sympa-
thy" fails to loosen their purse
strings.

WILL EXPEL
THE MORMON
Missionaries From Government
of Prussia
BECAUSE OF POLYGAMY
Which is not Excluded From Their Doc.
trines---Teachings Against the Moral
Laws of the State---Simply Police
Measure.

Berlin-The governments of Prus-
sia and of the grand Duchey of Meek
lenburg have decided to expel the
Mormon miss ioD aries, of whom there
are 145 in Germany and 80 in Prussia,
on the ground that they are preparing
form OF religious belief lncompati-
BILE with the laws of the state and
public morals, and because polygamy
is not excluded from their doctrines.
The missionaries, who are Americans,
will be allowed sufficient time to set
tie up their personal affairs.
None of the Mormons have yet been
deported.
The government of Prussia defines
the expulsion as being simply police
measure for which no legislation need
be made. Peter Lantensac, a German
naturalizsd in Utah, first organized
missionary work here in 1896. He
was succeeded in 1899 as bishop by
Arnold Schultheiss, Swiss natural
lied in Utah, who directed one hun
dred missionaries. Hugh j. Cannon
replaced him in 1900, and the latter
has steadily increased the numbe; of
Mormon preachers and has nearly
doubled the membership, which is
now 1000. When Mormon arrived in
a German village he would rent hall
and begin to preach the new faith,
and the common result was that the
local pastor of the State church or the
Catholic priest would complain to the
police, who not infrequently ordered
the missionaries to leave.

SawmiEl viii Shnt Down.

The Kingston lumber Company
down at Laurel has closed for period
OF three months. There are two rea
sons for this. One is that the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas City railroad is
building for twelve miles north of
Laurel along the lumber company's
right of way. The "a lroad crosses
the Kingston line in several places and
actually occupies the right of way for
several miles. The constr uction work
on the new road is advanced to such q
stage that the track Of the Kingston
company will have to be moved before
further progress can be made. The
other reason for the shut down is that
the company contemplates building
an entirely new mill. A band saw
will take the place Of the present cir
cular saw, and the capacity of the mill
will be increased. Ihe new mill will
be ready for occupancy in about three
months. New rolling stock has been
bought and standard gauge road will
take the place of the present narrow
gauge system.

An epidemic of rabies is reported
from beat three, in Tallahatchie
county. One rabid canine started
the ball, and it was not long before he
had bitten nine, all of which began soon
to manifest the same symptoms. The
owners have killed all the bitten dogs
that they know of, but it is not GER
tain that the infec ted animals have all
been exterminated, Thd mad dogs in
that vicinity seem to have conf ned
their rava9es to members of their own
species instead of biting other domes-
tic animals indiscriminately.

robbery last fall netted $50, 900 10
the men wEo did the work and no

The recent work was accomplished
mostly while the passengers from

awaiting the arrival of trans cent?
mental trains. Many OF the persons
In the depot were asleep and did
not know they had bcen robbed
until aroused by the noise OF the
train pulling into the station. The
presence OF the robbers was first
discovered by woman. Sbe
screamed and the people in the
waiting room gathered around. In
vestigation proved a majority of
them had been robb ed. The confu-
sion permitted the robbers to eS-
cape. Later they made their pres
ence known on board an immigrant

porter with the passengers were
herded into one end of the car and
the search instituted by one man,
while the other held the crowd
