CONGRESSIONAL POLITICS

Hattiesburg Evening Eye; At the
present time Mississippi has the most in
fluential delegation in Congress that
she has had since the close OF the war
between the States, and the two most
influential members Of that delegation,
beyond question are the Hon. John
Sharp Williams and the Hon. Eaton j..
Bowers. Without Influence in the house
Of representatives we cannot secure our
rights, and now that Mississippi is in
position to secure that recognition she is
entitled to and should receive in the low
er house Of Congress it would be unwise
lot the voters OF the sixth district 70
cripple that influence by swapping off a
tried and trusted representative for a
man totally unschooled in Legislative
knowledge, and who could not attain to
the power and influuce now enjoyed by
MIR. Bowers should he be sent to Con-
gress for several terms,

A DISASTROUS MOSQUITO WAR

The town Of Summit, N. j., ia full Of
trouble and mosquitoes, with no prospect
of getting rid of them in hurry. One
day the Women's Town Improvement
Association of Summit held a meeting
for the purpose OF finding out what it
could do to make life more pleasant in
that village. Itmight have decided that
the proper thing for the good women to
do was discharge their cooks, il any of
them happened to have any, and make
it fashionable for each lady to do her
own kitchen work. But such course
was not suggested. 1t may not even
have Deen thought of What the Inn
provement Association did was to de-
clare war on the mosquitoes and make
provisions for the Inauguration of a
campaign Of determination. A stock Of
petroleum was purchased and the ladies
began pouring oil upon the waters
round about Summit, fondly hoping it
might come to pass that their daughters
could sit outside in hammocks during
the summer evenings without being as
sailed where their open work stockings
and gauzelike sleeves furnished alluring
opportunities.
SUBMITS mosquito war was short and
disastrous. One William Hand, the
owner of sundry COWS, is now suing both
the village and the Women's Town I'm
proyement Association, claiming that
the oil which was intended to kill the
mosquitoes was fatal to three of his Jer-
seys. 1t trickled into his pasture and
they, ignorant of the fact that what is
poison for mosquitoes may also be pois-
on for cows, drank. Now the psople of
Summit are likely to have to pay for
three COWS which, in view OF the pres
sent price Of meat, is matter of consid-
cradle gravity; the Standard Oil Com
pany's sales have been cut down -
another deplorable thing g-tbe mosquit-
oes are left to operate with impunity,
and Mr.. Hand is being put to trouble and
expense that he does not seem to have
deserved. The great moral Of all this
is that people should train their COWS to
shun mosquito poison.

OUR SCHOOL NOTICED.

DR.. johnson, Of the University Of

very interestingly OF some of them in the

prodigy and wonder, private enter

buildings, all furnished with steam heat,
electric lights, water supply and sewer
age, all modern and up-to-date; nice
infirmary of FIVE rooms, with the services
when needed of a regular trained nurse.
Many OF our great schools, belonging to
wealthy corporations, are not so well
equipped. He has more than 100 board
ers ana some 800 local pupils. His light

RUDE BURROWS, CApToR.

"The story Of the killing Of Jphn..Mc-
Duffie, the we'll known Monroe county
farmer who figured in the capture OF
Rube Burrows, the famous train rob
ber," said a citizen, "recalls the stirring
tragedy of Burrows death. In the fall
OF 1890 Burrows, single handed and
alone, held up Louisville and Nashyil-
10 train at Flomaton. He made his way
across the country TO the northwest on
foot, carrying with him his tIusty ri
ne, three rcyolvers and about $3.50 in
cash which he had gotten from the rob-
berry. McDufiie was one OF the men who
joined in the chase. Scores OF detectives
and officers were on the hunt for the no.
cd robber for whom rewards amounting
81 800 had been offered. In the lower
part Of Marengo county Burrows bought
something to eat from the country store
ofJeff Davis Carter. A little slater Nc
Duf1e came along and made inquiry.
Garter told him that man filling Bur-
rows description had just left going
northward up the road on foot. McDuf-
fie followed him with two negroes. A
ram overlook the party and they stopped
in negro house. There they found
their man, who had employed negro
woman to cook some food for him. Me-
Duffie engaged Burrows in a controyer-
sy about the merits of their rifles and in
the excitement the outlaw laid down his
rife for McDuffie to examine It. 1t was
then that McDuffie covered Burrows
with his gun and the two negroes seized
and bound the robber. Burrows was
taken back to Carter's store and the
merchant helped them to get him to
Linden when he was placed in Jail. Nc
Duffie and the negroes had themselves
locked in the cell with Burrows, from
whom a pistol, rifle and his money had
been taken, got hold OF pair of old
saddle-bags which no haG brought alorg
and out OF the bags he drew with ma
nacled hands pair of murderous look
ing revolvers which his captors had over
looked. He forced McDuffie to take the
handouts fiom his wrists, locked Nc
Duffie and one OF the negroes in the cell
and with the other negro as a guide
went to look for Carter to get his rifle
and money. Carter was sleeping in the
rear room OF Glass store. When arouse
he came to the door with pistol in hand.
There a pistol duel occurred between
Garter and Burrows in which Burrows
was killed and Cartar was shot in the
shoulder. The wound paralized Carter's
shoulder for life.
OF the four men who participated in
Burrows capture three are now dead.
One Of the negroes was killed few
years ago by companion, the other
negro died natural death, and now
McDuffie has met a violent death. .--Bir-

THE WAR NEWS.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
furnishes us with about the most ac-
curate war news yet seen since the Ians
ana Russians have met in battle as tol
lows: 80 ioi-
Inc news from the war is enough to
daze anybody.
Both the Japs and the Russians ara
retreating. ''
Both are advancing,
The Russians haye scored n number ~
victories, and they have been defeated
in every encounter.
The Japs have carried the outer forti-
hcaelons OF Port Arthur, they have been
repuised and they have actually entered
the city.
so many Japs have been withdrawn
from Port Arthur that Stoessel NAV
make q sally and destroy the remnant.
No less than 10000 troops have been
landed to assist the army investing the
Port.
In the attack on the heights surround
ing Fort Arthur, the Japs lost twice az
many men as the Russians, and the
Russians lost twice as many as the Jams
There are $1,000 men in the besieped
town, full of martial ardor and with
provisions enough to last year.
There are 10000 men in Port Arthur
who are starving to death and utterly
dishear,ened.
The Notifications are impregnable.
The most impregnable Of them have
been easily captured by the Japs.
The rainy season has put positive
check on the Japanese operations.
The Japanese have not been notified
that the rain has put check upon their
operations and they continue to operate.
Admiral Skrydloff has sailed away
from Vladivostok, sunk gasoline launch
and returned to Vladivostok in triumph.
Admiral Kamamura has repaired to
the vicinity of Vladiyostok, where he is
sure to intercept Skydloff when he re-
turns.
An engagement has taken place be-
tween the two fleets, in which Skrydloff
drove Off the Japanese fleet, the Russian
fleet was totally destroyed, was captured
and managed to escape the vigilant
Japanese entirely and return to its base.
The Russian fleet at Port Arthur is
intact, 1t has los several of its big
vessels, it has been split in two, one-half
remaining in port, and the other half
having effected juncture with the
Vladivostok squadron.
Admiral Togo's blockade of Port
Arthur is ineffective, and the Russian
ships can come and go at will.
His blockade is air tight, and every
effort of the Russians to get out has cost
them ship or two.
There is big battle impending near
Hal Cheng.
No battle whatever is likely to take
place.
Both armies are eager to fight.
Neither side is anxious for a fight.
The Japs have cut Kuropatkin off.
Kuropatkin has gotten Kuroki in a
