RICH MEN ARE NOT ALL HAPPY.
Croesus, King of Lydia, Had Troubles
Of His Own, and There Are Others.

+
Croesus, the John d. Rockefeller of
the kingdom of Lydia, was very WE'LL
to-do in worldly goods and chattels.
"As rich as Croesus'' is a saying about
$500 years cid. He had his troubles,
however, and some of them were full
grown. He was taken captive once by
Cyrus and only saved himself from
being burned alive by quoting a say
ing of Scion, the Sage. He finally had
to fee his Kingdom for parts unknown
Many of the ricl, mans troubles, to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds OF rich, heavy foods
at irregular times, lack of proper ex-
ercise, undue mental strain, unnat-
ural stimulants ETC., and are COM
monty known as indigestion. dyspep-
sia and weak stomach. They are Sc
rious troubles all right, but not only
can they be avoided but can also be
cured, and that without loss of time
or proper food and nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief of dyspeptics, rich and
poor alike. There is no such "a thing
as stopping their onward progress
now. A great nation has placed its
stamp of approval upon their noble
work. The thousands upon thousands
of cures they have effected and the
happiness resulting therefrom have
made their name a household word
tl1ruout the land.
The story of Stuart Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in a word They
ACTUALLY do the work that the weak
and wasted stomach is unable to do
and allow dt to recuperate and regain
dts strength. They contain all the es-
sential properties that the gastric
Juice and other digestive fluids do,
and they digest the food just as q
sound and we'll stomach would. They
relieve the stomach just as one rested
and refreshed workman relieves the
one on duty that is tired and worn,
and Nature does her own work of
restoration. Tt is simple, natural pro-
cess that cfrild can understand. You
can eat all you want with out fear of
results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at SO cents box.
Druggists all know better than to try
to get along without them, as the de-
uand Tor them is great and universal.

FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
No Way Out Of Port Arthur, and tho
Russians viii Not Yield.

Port Arthur, Sunday, Feb. 2S.-
Gen. Stoesse. commander of the gar
rison here, has issued general or.
der directing the attention of the
troops and inhabitants here to the fact
that the Japanese intended to land
and seize the fortress. The general
declares the Japanese consider the
seizure of Port Arthur to be a ques.
ton of national honor and from their
obstinate attacks and bombardments
of the fortress and bay he can only
conclude that the enemy Will make
every effort to capture the fortress,
failing In which the Japanese will de-
stroy the railroad and withdraw
"The enemy, however, proceeds the
general order, 'is mistaken, Our
troops know and the inhabitants are
herewith informed by me that we VIII
not yield We must fight to the fin
ish, as /, the commander vii! never
give an order to surrender bring
this to the notice of the less daring
and call on all to become convinced
Of the necessity Of fighting to the
death. Those who leave without
fighting will not save themselves.
There is no way out. On three sides
there is the sea and on the fourth will
be the enemy. There is no means OF
escape except by fighting. y
Notwithstanding the heavy gale
which is blowing the lights, Japanese
scouting vessels were visible In the
eff1ng during the night.

THIRTY-FOURTH DAY.

A very strong and somewhat unex
pected opposition to the Wells va
grancy bill, passed by the house some
time ago, was developed when the
measure was taken up in the senate
this morning. So pronounced was the
opposition that the friends Of the bill
asked leave to make 1t a special order
for Tuesday, which was done. The
Impression seems to prevail in the
minds Of SOME members that the dras
tic and stringent features are likely
TO be abused by petty officers and JUS
tlces OF the peace
The senate concurred in the house
amendment to the bill authorizing the
lower levee board to Issue $1,000, ,00O
in bonds, and also the house amend.
ments to the senate measure provid'
ing for the establishment of branch
agricultural experiment stations.
The house spent the entire morn
Ing on the privilege tax bill, the chief
features Of which were the exemption
to ex-Confederate and the tax Oh In.

For the first time since the legisla-
ture convened both bodies were in ses-
sion In the afternoon, and determine

with the work and adjourn.
More new bills Of local and private
nature were introduced In both
branches of the legislature, but moth

either houss.

Bonds or No Bonda,

Bonds or no bonds. This is the
question that is agltating the members
just now. The members see that it
will be only a short while after ad-
iournment before the treasury will be
empty-that is, II all the contemplat.
ed and necessary appropriations are
passed. There are great many mem.
bers who are opposed to the issuance
Of bonds, and say that 1t Is entirely
unnecessary, while Others who have
studied the situation are of the opin-
ion that bond Issue will have to be
noated in order for the State to come
out anywhere like even. The situa-
tion is just like this: It is either a
bond issue or raise the tax levy The
legislators do not want to be forced
to raise the tax levy, for they know
that howl will go up all over the
State. There is some talk that a spe-
cal committee from both houses will
be appointed to canvass the situation
and see what is best to be done. When
the school distribution is made, 1t
will come very near cleaning up the
cash in the treasury. The probability
Is that the leaders will decide that
a bond issue is better than raising
taxes, which Is always very hard
thing to do.

ALL EYES ON PORT ARTHUR.
Russians Seem to Think That the
Stronghold is lmpregnable.

London March 1.-The Moscow
correspondent of tho London Times
states that interest throughout all Rus
sia is now fixed on Port Arthur and
much speculation as to the probable
supposedly impregnable fortress takes
tho widest range,
The publication Of Gen. Stosscls or.
der. to the troops, while 1t had the
effect of arousing enthusiasm in Rus
sia, has also attracted attention to
the tremendous strategic value OF that
fortress and to the crucial part 1t
plays in Russia's plans for the defeat
of the Japanese in Korea.
The failure Of the Japanese attempt
to bottle up the feet in Port Arthur
harbor while it evoked sarcastic com
ment from the Russian press, as to
Japanese cunning and the miscarriage
Of an enemy's plans, yet now the Rus
sian military authorities are pointing
out that this attempt having been de.
feated, therefore IT must follow that
Port Arthur is impregnable and that
the Japanese can never capture it,
1t is stated in high Russian circles
that not only will Port Arthur resist
all attempts to reduce 1t, but that the
Japanese fleet will yet be destroyed
by the combined guns OF the fortress
and tho feet.

Life Insurance Risks.

-Four of the five Ilfe insurance
companies which carry the bulk of
the business in Mississippi have
filed their reports with the State in
surancc commissioner, and an inter-
esting showing is made on the face
Of the figures.
These four companies, the New
York Life, Equitable, Prudential
and Union Central, have policies in
force in Mississippi aggregating
SAL, 1,999,209, and the premiums they
have collected during the year
amount TO 1851, ,3S0.sS. The COM
panies rank in the order named, but
the Mutual Life Of New York,
which has not yet filed its report,
ranks just after the Equitable, or
third in the list. The showing
made by the Prudential is rather re-
markable, as the company has been
in the State only three years.

PRESIDENT ON CORRUPTION
Sends Letter of Congratulation to
Postmaster-General Payne.
lie Says II Is Impossible To Expect
That Corruption VIII Not Occur
In Any Government.

Washington, Feb. 29.-The presi-
dent Saturday sent the following let
ter to Postmaster-General Payne:
white House. Washington, Feb. 81,
1901.
"My Dear Mr. Postmaster.General:
While all the work OF the post office
department and the department of
Justice in connection with the postal
frauds is not yet over, there is already
to the credit Of the departments, and
therefore primarily to your credit,
such an amount of substantial achieve
ment that take this opportunity to
congratulate you personally upon
It. II is impossible to ex-
pect that corruption will not ac-
sionally occur in any government, the
vital point is the energy, the fearless
ness and the efficiency with which
such corruption is cut out and the cor
ruptiomsts punished. The success Of
the prosecutions in these cases as
compared with previous experiences
in prosecuting government officials
who have been guilty of malfeasance
or misfeasance Is As noteworthy as IL
is gratifying, and must he a source OF
encouragement to all men who believe
in decency and honesty In public life.
What has been accomplished by you
to those who have worked under you
in your department, and by the de-
partment of justice. rebounds to the
credit Of our whole people and Is n
signal triumph for the couse of pop
ular government. II corruption goes
unpunished in popular government.
then government by the people will
ultimately fail; and they are the best
friends of the people who make it
evident that whoever in public office
or in connection with public Office sins
against the fundamental laws of civic
and social well being, will be punished
with unsparing rigor
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Hon, II. C.. Payne, Postmaster
General"

THE URGENT NEED
OF a Geological and Industrial Survey
Of the State Of Mississippi.

" s'S OtoNS W iU'ooiSo'PPis
The Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College has issued Re-
port No. !, on the geology of Oktib-
beha county, which brings to light
many interesting facts which will
prove of great value to that county.
This work has been conducted under
the management OF DR.. W. n. Lo-
gan, of the department Of geology,
with whom was associated Profes-
sors W. L. Hutchinson, of the de-
partmcnt of agriculture; W. f.
Hand, of the department of chemis-
try; A. B. Mckay, Of the depart
ment of forestry, and j. W. Knox,
Of the department of rural engineer
ing. The geological work of Mis-
sissippi thus far accomplished has
been in the nature Of preliminary
Investigations, or the investigation
of some special phase of its geology.
No thorough and systematic geolog-
ical survey Of the State has been un-
dertaken until now. The necessity
Of such a survey became apparent
10 the president and board of trus-
tees Of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College some time ago, and
led to the establishment of a depart
mcnt of geology and mining, and
the Inauguration of the present geo
logical survey. 1t was decided by
the board of trustees that if the sur
vey should receive the proper en-
couragement from the citizens of the
State, the work would comprise a
complete investigation of the geolog-
ical, agricultural and industrial re-
sources of each county in the State.
In the absence OF special appro-
priation for this work, and in order
that a given amount of work might
be accomplished at a minimum ex-
pense, the investigation of the geol-
ogy and resources Of Oktlbbeha
county was first undertaken.
Since the work began, the depart
ment has been the recipient of many
letters of inquiry from citizens Of
Mississippi, asking for information
in regard to minerals and other eco
nomic products. Letters Of inquiry
have come, also, from other States.
These have contained requests for
geological maps, for information
concerning cement rock, fire clay,
brick and tile clay, marls. timber,
and artcsian water possibilities in
certain counties. These requests
were complied with as far as posi-
Bile, the desired information given,
but in many instances, owing to
lack of data, the replies were unsat-
isfactory. The many requests for
information along geo., .al lines
and the insufiicicncy of data upon
which to base intelligent replies,
convince one of the urgent need of
a geological survey Of Mississippi.
All of these economic resources must
be carefully investigated before cap
