GAVE A $4,000 PICNIC
With Safe of the Wells
Fargo Company, Took it Home
and Called in Friends.

Mexico City, May THE fact that
the Wells-Fargo Express Company
was robbed of S42, 600 at Silao last
Thursday came to light today. A
small safe is usually carried from the
through Mexican Central train TO the
office and thence to the Guanajuato
train by courier. On the morning
of the robbery the express messenger
warned the man to be careful of the
safe, telling him it contained large
sum of money. Instead of taking the
safe to the office, the courier took it
to his home, called in a number of
his friends and opened it. The
money was extracted and distributed.
About forty persons were arrested and
all except about S11 600 has been re-
covered.

Among the prominent Mississip-
plans who is an aspirant for the office
of lieutenant governor is Captain j..
P. Carter, who is held in high es-
TEEN by all who know him. He is a
graduate of Centenary college, and a
successful lawyer. He was gallant
soldier in the confederate army dur
ing the four years seige of the civil
war, and was elected to the constitu-
tional convention immediately upon
his return from prison on johnson
Island in 1865, and was also member
of the constitutional convention of
1890. Captain Carter is native OF
Perry county and his eminent qualifi-
cations for the office, coupled with
the fact that he is an east Mississip
plan should cause the people OF this
section to rally to his support. New

There can be no denying the fact
that the press of the state so far has
practically controlled the campaign
and it is believed that it will finally
land in office of the very best material
we have. 1t is noticed that when
ever a paper calls on candidate to
show his hand on any subject he does
not hesitate to show it. 1t told Mr..
Fox he could not be elected, not that
Mr.. Fox is not a very worthy man,
but because of the belief that polit-
ical ring was at his back and that this
was an off year for rings. Mr.. Fox
came down. 1t asked Mr.. LOnginO
to show his hand relative to the clos
ing of the Indianola postoffice. The
hand was shown. Now the Natchez
Democrat wants Senator Money to tell
the people whether or not he approves
Of the platform on which Mr.. Var
daman is running, and within the
next few days we may expect to see
the senator's hand. The reason of
this is that they have struck hard
proposition known as the primary
mode instead of the convention to elect
and they cannot afford to be silent.
Hence the press is running the whole
shooting match and it will succeed,
Judging from the way things look
now, of putting into Office the very
best men. If any candidate has any
doubt about the power of the press il
would be a good time to state it.

The fact that there have been no
lynchings in this state the present
wear cannot be attributed to the
good, bad or indifferent administra-
ton of the governor. He had no
more to do with it than the man in
the moon, though we give the COVER
nor the credit for this opposition to
lynch law. He would prevent it i'll
every instance if ne could, but if he
ever heard of one until he saw it in
the newspapers he certainly kept it a
profound secret At Corinth prepar-
ations were being made twenty-four
hours to lynch a nergo before the
event took place and the negro was
burned at the stake and the body,
" hat little was left of it, had become
cold and stiff before the governor
heard of the incident. But we are
not blaming the gOvernOr-we only
refer to il because some of his friends
are so eXtravagant with their asser
tions as to attempt to make it appeal
that the governors good admins
tration has prevented single lynch
ing in the state for 1908.

The Summit Sentinel says: Sine }
Mr.. Fox's withdrawal from the gu
bernatorial race a number of papers,
notably the Biloxi Daily Herald,
which was warmly supporting him,
have placed themselves in Judge
Critz's column and are boldly espous-
ing his cause. Not only is this true
of the papers, but large majority
of Mr.. Fox's friends are supporting
Judge Critz. Now let Mr.. Noel with
draw-and it wouldn't surprise US if
he did so soon-then Judge Crit2

Usually when young fellow
"throws up the sponge i'll political
race he has nothing but kind words for
both friend and foe; but this was
not the case with Mr.. Fox, who has
resigned from the race for governor,
and says she can well afford to dis
pise the enemies he has made. "
Doubtless so, but such expression OF
feeling is always remembered, and
perhaps he can we'll afford to live a
more private life in the future. For

Since Governor Longino has con-
demned, in mild tone, the action of
the administration for closing the In
dianola postoffice the people of the
state have formed a better opinion
of him and some of them now really

vented the overflow of the Mississippi

the other good things he accomplished
during his administration.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OE LEE.

1t is a feeling common to the
majority of us that we do not
get quite the amount of happi-
ness we are entitled to. Among
the countless things which tend
to make us more or less mis-
cradle i'll health takes first place
Hannah More said that sin was
generally to ;be attributed to-
biliousness. No doubt crippled
liver with the resulting impure
blood, is the cause of more men
tai gloom than any other single
thing. A chronic dyspeptic, says
an eminent English physician, is
always on the verge of a mental
upset. And who can reckon up
the fearful aggregate of pain
loss and fear arising from the
many ailments and diseases
which are familiar to mankind.
Like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high pO-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing ac-
tually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such record of
success in Anemia, Nervous De-
bility, Scrofula, Throat and Lung
Troubles, and all emaciating
complaints and disorders. It's
use helps to show ife's bright
er side. DR.. VIII. B. Atkins, of
Canada, says: 81 am pleased to
state that the results from using
it have been uniformly satisfac-
tory" Every dose effective. at
cannot disappoint." At chemists.

MANDARIN ORANGES ON MAUI.
The Maui News says:


AS a happy Illustration of the posi-
bilities of fruit culture on Maui, the
lesson taught by five year old Wal
luku girl :. most worthy of notice and
study.
Five years ago, little Eva, the daugh-
ter of Tax-Assessor w. T. Robinson of
Waikiki, while on Market street,
visited Hoon Wos store, and was pres
scented with a mandarin orange im-
ported from China, of delicious flavor.
On her return home, Eva, who was
then only five years old, concluded to
plant the seeds of the orange. En-
couraged by her grandfather the late
John Fereira, she did so, and the old
gentleman made it his special business
to see that the young tree which
sprang from the seeds should have
proper attention.
The tree has now begun to bear, and
a ripe specimen of it's first fruits, re-
Gently handed to the News man, prov
ed to be a rich, sweet, succulent fruit
of high marketable value, and to a
child now only ten years old, belongs
the honor of having introduced new
industry on Maui. Only one more
tree of this delicious variety of orange
is known to exist on Maui, and that
is in the yard of Mrs. w. Y. Horner,
at Lahaina. There is no reason why
seeds of this orange should not be
planted in every door yard on Maui

H1Lo PUBLIC WORKS.

HILO, March 13.-Considerable pro-
gress is being made in the excavation
at Kaumana for the storage reservoir,
which is to furnish a Roadway for the
city's water supply. 1t is expected
the work will be completed within
three months, when the fears of eX-
hausting the supply OF water in case
of large fire will be reduced to a
minimum. Among the other local inn
provements being carried on under the
direction of the superintendent of
Public Works in the vicinity of Hilo,
is Pukihai bridge. which is practically
finished and will be soon opened up
for travel. The cuts and filling for
the new approaches are nearly COM
pleted, and after macadamzing the
Roadway and soddng the banks, this
structure will stand as a creditable
piece of engineering work by the con-
tractors and the government officials
having the construction in charge.
