Fate of the Branch.

The people Of the Yazoo- Mississip-
pi delta are now much interested to
know the future fate of the Itta Bena
branch of the Southern Railroad,
which runs for Itta Bena to Webb, a
distance of thirty miles. This is the
branch line that Illinois Central Com
pany was so anxious to purchase and
incorporate into the Mississippi Val
ley system. A bill was passed through
the legislature authorizing the pur-
chase, but was recently held unconsti-
tutlonal by the Supreme Court. The
property must therefore remain in
the Southern and under the law in
Mississippi the line must be operated,
and can not be discontinued.

FILIpINOS EAT DOG MEAT.
Steak From Canine Cured Case Of
Pneumonia.

st. Louis.-Beginning on April
Fools Day all stray dogs in st. Louis
will be served daily to members Of
the Igorrote and other tribes of Fill
pinos at the Worlds Fair. Arrange
ments to this effect have been COM
pleted at the Office Of the dog pound.
The Igorrotes, who at home are head
hunters, are very fond Of dog meat,
and today threatened to strike unless
served with their favorite flesh. Ac-
cording, stray dogs, instead of suffer
ing death by asphyxiation, will be
slaughtered, dressed and roasted, fried
boiled, grilled or frieasseed to suit the
peculiar taste of the Igorrotes.
On their arrival at st. Louis re-
Gently the 800 Filipinos suffered from
pneumonia. After a native council
had been held, it was decided by the
Filipinos that the absence from their
daily diet of dog meat was the cause
of their suffering from pneumonia.
One Of those suffering with pneu-
monia by the aid Of friends, managed
to secure a piece of broiled dog steak.
He recovered. This coincidence the
Igorrotes called an example Of cause
and effect. They appealed to Mr.. Hea-
ly, who acts as their butler. Mr.. Hea-
ly applied to the dog pound Office and
secured permission to take all the
stray dogs he wanted for the table of
the Filipinos.
The skins of the dogs may be used
by the Igorrotes for their abbrevi-
ated costumes, as they refuse to dress
in American conventional style.

Sanders Pardoned.

Robert Sanders, who holds the rec
ord of being the only man in the
state penitentiary to have escaped
twice and to have each time volunta-
rily returned to the prison and re-
sumed his stripes, has been issued a
pardon by Governor Vardaman. San
ders is white man, and the pardon
was made by the governor on a pc
tition signed by the judge, prosecut-
ing attorney and many other promi-
nent citizens Of Lafayette county,
from which he was sent up on March
3rd, 1900, on the charge Of man
slaughter for term of ten years.
Sanders spent very little Of his time
in the penitentiary. He made his es-
cape on March 20, 1901, and volun-
tarny returned to prison Jan. 26,
1903. He became dissatisfied, how
ever, and left on Sept. Z, 1903, but
being an escape did not suit him, so
he returned Of his own free will on
Sept. 18th, 1908.

downtown banks promptly rushing
large sums of money to the Pearl
Stret Bank, mostly in silver coin,
which was piled up high on the coun-
tiers in full view Of the people crowd

almost instantaneous, and the crowd
of depositors quietly left and the run
was over. The bank is declared to be
perfectly solvent.

AN UNUSUAL
SUIT AT LAW
FILED AGAINST THE POSTAL
TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
BY A HYPNOTIC SUBJECT
Claims that Through Non-Delivery Of
a Telegram Another Man Got the
Job of Sleeping for the Hypnotist.
Interest in Itta Bena Branch.

Hubble Racheford Of Jackson, has
hled rather original and unique suit
against the Postal Telegraph and. Ca
bic Company for the failure of that
company to deliver message within
a reasonable time. Last winter hyp-
notlst was through Jackson giving ex-
hibitions of his skill. In order to
properly advertise himself and show
to the world that he was no fakir, this
hypnotist would give a free and pub
lie exhibition of his skill by putting a
man to sleep in some display window,
allowing him to sleep, under his in
fiuence, for forty-eight hours. Hubble
for the experience and novelty Of the
thing, wanted to do the Rip Van Win
kle act for the hypnotist, and con-
tract between the two was entered in
to. The hypnotist went from Jackson
to Lexington, and when he arrived
wired Hubble to know if he could do
the forty-eight hour sleeping act. Hub
bic promptly replied by the Postal
that he would leave on the first train
for Lexington. The young man sup
posed that his message had gone with
speed to its address and he boarded
train for north Mississippi But his
dream of peaceful slumbers was shat
tered when lie arrived in Lexington,
for the message had not been delivered
Ia time, and Hubble found another
man sleeping in the front window.
Now the young man thinks he was
wronged and brings suit against the
Postal In the sum Of $125.

VIII Better Carpet Staple.

Boston. The decision of the United
States customs appraisers at New
York that woods cannot be mixed when
imported will have an important bear
ing, wool merchants here say, on car
pet woods. Most of the mixed woods
are II the carpet grade, and the decis-
ION separating the white or higher
priced article from the cheaper gray
with which it had been mixed is ex-
pected to at once raise the market
price of the carpet staple. 1t is ex-
