CHIACGO. Aug. All the labor un-
sons in Chicago have indOrsed the
stOclxyards strike. After listening to
The strikers side of the controversy,
. which was presented TO il by Michael j.
Donnelly, president Of the striking
Butchers Union, the Chicago Fedora
lion Of Labor, which is composed of
every labor organization in Chicago
and which has a membership Of nearly

and the whole amount will be turned
over TO the striking unions to help in
the support Of the strikers and their

Der is 10 be assessed was left in the
hands Of a committee, with orders to
report results tomorrow.
While the officials Of the Federation
Of Labor were unable tonight 10 give

money which would be obtained from
this source, il was said that the total
sum would be well up in the thousands
each week
After q fight which lasted for nearly
-FOUR weeks. a settlement Of the stock
yards strike seems tonight to be as re-
mote as at any time since the struggle
for supremacy began. Neither side 10
slse conflict. during all this time, has
shown any signs of weakening. The
packers. while asserting that they viii
soon have their affairs in normal con-
dition again, so successful have they
been in securing nOn-uniOn men, still
admit that 50 far they have been able
20 get but $50 Of their old employees
back and that the majority Of their
men are Unskilled workers.
Last week the packers were figuring
on a break in the ranks OF the strik-
sers when work is resumed tomorrow
morning. but there was nothing to-
night that would indicate that the men
q were even considering such a step or
that they had any idea of surrender
ing tomorrow or at any future time
According TO Michael J. Donnelly.
president Of the Butchers Union. the
strikers are in a better position than
they were on July y, the day the orig
anal strike was called.

intense resentment here.

against hand baggage from the in
fected districts. Section 4 of the
Mississippi quarantine regulations
reads as follows:
No common carrier, person, firm,
corporation, partnership or associa-
ton shall bring into or carry through
the State of Mississippi any baggage,
bedding, clothing or mattresses
stuffed with corn shuck, hay, straw
or cotton, or any other material liable
to contain the boil weevil, from any
of the counties, parishes or places in
the States of Texas and Louisiana
where the boil weevil may exist
This provision is giving the pas
senger traffic officials as much worry
as the freight restrictions are giving
the freight officials. 1t is claimed
by the passenger men that the en-
barge against hand baggage is too
severe, and the matter will be taken
up by the officials with the Missis-
81 ppi authorities. The railroad men
say that they realize the gravity of
importing boil weevils into a non-in-
fected State, but that there is no
likelihood whatever of the insects be-
ing carried in hand baggage which
contains merely the personal wear
ing apparel of travellers.

county communities desiring an in
stitute are requested to send in as
largely-signed petitions as possible
to the president of the college at
an early date. Before assigning an
institute to any section of county,
the faculty should know the num-
Der of communities desiring insti-
tutes in that particular county. Up
to-date methods of general agricul-
ture, horticulture, trucking, dairy
ing, diseases Of plants and of live
stock, rotation of crops, fertilizers,
ETC.. will be discussed, and the col
lege will be glad to have sugges-
tons from the petitioners as to the
subjects most desired in their insti-
tutes. These institutes will be held
during the months of July and
August in every county in the
State, and the season we'll close
with general roundup institute
at the college about the first of
September. Not only the leading
agriculturists Of Mississippi, but
the best men that can be found in

The Boil WeeviI Quarantine.

The boil weevil quarantine in Mis-
sissippi, established by Prof. Glenn
W. Herrick. the State entomologist,
is causing the railroads considerable
worry, owing to the impediments to
traffic from Texas. both on freight
and passenger business.
The Mississippi provisions against
freight carried from the districts of
Texas infected with the boil weevil
are very rigid. and at the urgent
request of the railroads, Prof. Her
rick has modified the restrictions
somewhat, so as not to unnecessarily
hamper traffic. The quarantine
against Texas grain has been amend
ed so far rs oats is concerned. This
action was taken in order to pre-
serve the trade between Texas pro-
ducers and Mississippi consumers.
The passenger departments of the
roads entering Mississippi manifest
much uneasiness over the embargo

Killed by Dynamite.

John Marsh, Jasper county ne
gro, started out on a fishing trip the
other day, intending to use a stick
of dynamite instead of the custom
arv hook and line with worm bait,
and the neighbors have been looking
for his remains ever since. Marsh
was evidently unaccustomed to the
use of dynamite as an easy method
of procuring fish for supper, as he
had gone only a few feet from the
house when the stuff exploded.

Deficit in Prospect.


The vaults of the State treasury
now contain less than $4,000, and
a deficit is Immediately in prospect
unless the payment Of the scmi-an-
nual distribution of the school fund
his deferred for few weeks. The
school fund distribution. amounting
to SAG, 66666, is payable, according
to law, during the month of June,
but there will not be enough money
in the vaults during the month to
meet the payment, and postponement
o. the distribution is inevitable. 1t
will not cause the State any fnan-
cial embarrassment, however. as the
money is not needed by the public
schools until the latter part Of the
summer, or just before the opening
Of the scholastic term. Early in July
Gov. Vardaman and Treasurer Mil
Ter will sell the half-million dollar
issue of three and one-half per cent
bonds authorized by the Legislature,
and this will tide the State over the
crisis, it is hoped, until the fall tax
collections commence to arrive. The
June collections at the treasury will
not amount to more than $4,000 or
$4,000, and a great deal more than
this amount will be paid out. A few
inquiries have been received by the
governor and treasurer from capital
lists regarding the bond issue, but
there does not seem to be any great
anxiety on the part of investors to
capture the issue.
