CUSTOMS Or THE lGORROTES
DEFENDED BY PROF. STARR
Dog Eating No Worse Than Pork Eating.
Justifes Scanty Clothing.

Prof. Frederick Starr. of the
University of Chicago, appears
as a defender of the IgOrrote
manners and customs in an arti-
Gle in the September issue of the
World Today Criticising the
public horror over the eating of
dog meat by this tribe from the
Philippines, Prof. Starr says sar-
castically: ''It is curious that
the killing of II few dogs by these
poor people should arouse these
sensitive souls so much more
than the wholesale killing Of
lambs and pigs for ourselves. As
between dog meat and pig a
wise man might hesitate, but
eventually woul'l probably de-
eide for the Igorrote custom"
The practice OF this tribe Of
wearing little or no clothing is
also defended by Prof. Starr.
To those who would clothe the
Igorrotes, he says: Surely any
one who can see aught but beau
tv in these shapely bodies and
fine brown skins or whose appre-
citation of that beauty is disturb
by any evil thoughts is certainly
wrongly constituted"

Fine Bed OF Fluor Spar.

II is thought that fluor spar has
been found in paying quantities
near Nortonville. The men en-
gagged in sinking a shaft for the
Nortonville Coal Company made
the discovery.
On last Wednesday blast was
made when it was believed that a
new vein of coal had been found.
Following this blast it was dis.
covered that almost a solid lead
of f1uor spar was opened and
there is no doubt but that if it is
followed it will lead to a solid
bed of great magnitude. This
lead Of fluor spar was found in
the six feet of limestone lying
between the two veins of coal.
The company has not yet decided
what they will do in regard to
their latest find but will prob
ably make some arrangement for
working it. The lead is solid
spar and free from all foreign
substances.

WAT RUTHERFORD
Dies Monday Morning From lniu.
ries Received at Nortonville
Saturday Night.
WAS VERY POPULAR CONDUCTOR.

w. ID. Rutherford, one of the
most popular conductors OH the
Henderson Division, had the
misfortune to lose both his legs
while attempting to board his
train, first section of No. 81, Sat-
urday night. The train stopped
at Nortonville and Rutherford
went to the telegraph office for
orders. The train was heavy
and Engineer McMurray pulled
out of the station at a lively rate.
Conductor Rutherford attempted
TO catch the third car from the
caboose. His foot missed the
step and striking the OIL box,
ierked his hand hold loose. He
fell under the car, the wheels
passing over his legs, severing
both about his knees, and rolled
him on the ties in such a manner
that he was injured internally.
The injured man was brought to
Darlington on north bound pas
senger train No. "a in a short
while after the accident occurred,
where he was carried to the ST.
Bernard Hospital and had his
wounds dressed by the company's
physician, DIR. Chatter, after
which he was removed to his
home. He died Sunday morning
about A o'clock, after suffering
greatly. Monday morning he
was removed to the home of his
father in Nebo, where the funer-
al took place Tuesday evening.
The deceased was a son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. s. Rutherford, of
Nebo, and was married few
months ago to Miss Winstead, of
that place. Mr.. Rutherford was
a Mason and was buried by that
order. His wife and parents
have the sympathy of the entire
community in their sudden loss.

NEWSY LETTER
From Earring Soldier Boys, Com.
pany G, Third Regiment at
The Worlds Fair.
WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
{ CAMP BEcKHAM,
: WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS,
I ST. LOUIS. Sept. s.

with Third Regiment arrived at
the Fair grounds Friday morning
at 8: 80, detrained and marched
through the Exposition grounds
to our camp site through steady
drizzle of rain. We were pro-
tected by ponchor, however, and
did not suffer. Just as we arrlv-
ed and started to pitch tents, the
sun broke through the clouds and
in a short time the hot sun had
relieved the situation.
The first day was to straighten
up camp. We have beautiful
site inside the Fair grou nds a
few hundred yards from the main
buildings and only about three
fourths of mile from the Pike.
Our tents are large and roomy,
for three men, fitted with the
latest approved cots and floored.
The grounds are brillianted light
ed with electricity at night and
'shaGcl u large oahs by d"v.
Each company occupies one side
of a street, with the officers
tents at the east end.
Company G has two records so
far, not one man of our company
have been sent to the guard
house, which is more than any
other company in the regiment
can say, and ours was the only
company that passed first inspec-
tion yesterday morning. All
around, we have the best COM
pany here, both in tactics and
department.
Our officers, Capt. Price, Lieuts.
Powers and Rogers, are among
the most popular with both men
and superior officers, and it is
due to these very best of company
commanders that company G is
what it is.
Our men are moral, obey their
officers orders and are respected
accordingly.
Everyone gets the very best of
camp food and all they can eat,
and consequently the hospital
tent is a very lonesome place.
Our company cooks are right up
to.date and presided over by
competent o. M. Sergt., Ser
geant Robinson.
The soldiers are allowed every
privilege consistent with mill
tary discipline. The morning s
are devoted to drills and various
other duties, and the afternoons,
from u 100 to 5:45 O'Clock, and
evenings from 6 100 to 10:45 o.
clock are given the boys to take
in the Fair and city, everyone
being supplied with passes.
We have had several visitors
from Kentucky, among them were
the Misses Cardwell of Manitou,
Bob Hall, Jewell Webb and Fred
Hosse of darlington, and couple
of Madisonville ladies, whose
names / do not recall.
Sunday was a dry day at the
Fair, everything being closed ex.

of the boys spent a great deal of
their time there while others took
advantages of their passes and

did so she noticed her boy and. by a
desperate effort managed to seize him

waters, expecting every moment to be
their last. While. drifting around Mrs
Percival. came upon Mrs, Adams, a.
woman who afterward died of ex-

arms about the neck of Mrs. Percfval,

WORK OF. COMMISSION
Members Of the New Board.
Will Probably Be Sent to
Panama at an Early Date

WASHINGTON March 1.-Impor-
tant matters relating to the. Panama
canal were under discussion. by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his Cabinet to-
day.: Attorney General Knox and
other officials of the Department of
Justice have under consideration the
title to the canal property, which is to
be passed to this country by the. Pan
anna Canal Company, but as yet they
have NOT reached a conclusion. 1t
was said after the meeting that no
money would be paid by the Govern
ment until a clear title to the prop
erty. was obtained. but no intimation
was given as to the length of time
which might elapse before a. decision
was. reached.
The entire question of the canal and.
fits construction was. discussed, in adj
dition TO the legal phases. 1t is ex
pected that the commission appoint
ed yesterday will get to work practi-
cally immediately. 1t is said to be
certain that the commission will go
to the isthmus soon to. inspect
very thoroughly the conditions and to
start the preliminary: work of con-
strllction. In: this connection it was
decided, as heretofore indicated might
be the case. to countermand the Or
ders. issued to the Third United States
Infantry to go to the isthmus of Pan
anna to relieve the marines now on
guard there. For some time the ma
'rines detachment will continue to
guard the isthmus. This Government
is opposed: to establishing two juris-
dfctions on the. isthmus; and as the
naval vessels must remain there it
was Thought. best to allow the ma.
rines to continue to do land duty.
I. 1t. is the earnest wish of the Presi-
dent and the members; of the Cabinet
that: no unnecessary delay should oc-
cur in beginning the work on the.
canal. and it is their intention to press.
it with the utmost vigor.
