drama now playing at popular prices

the Gennctt Theatre on next Friday

the sale included about 548
pieces of furniture. Our re-

March sales have continued,
increasing in volume and value
with the stores phenomenal
growth, each March offering
more and more pieces, at
greater and greater savings.
Monday we started the
Fourth Great March Sale with
thousand pieces of our good
furniture at prices worth yet
more to practical buyers.

LEAKEsvILE COUNTY, MISS FRIDAY AUGUST 2s 1904
PANIC AT AsUNcIoN.
Capital Of Paraguay is Bombarded
by Insurgent Vessels.

Beunos Ayres.-Three insurgent
vessels bombarded Asuncion, the cap
ital Of Paraguay, for forty minu.es.
The extent of the damage is unknown.
The government artillery replied
to the insurgents and one gun burst,
wounding several government sol
diers.
The ministers Of Argentina, Bra
zil, and France boarded one of the
insurgent vessels and held a long and
secret conference, at the end of which
truce Of twenty-four hours was de-
clared in order to give the women and
children an opportunity to leave the
city before further bombardment.
Absolute reserve is maintained in re-
gard to the conference but it is said
that the ministers protested to the
insurgent leaders against the bonn
bardment.
Government scouts returning to
Asuncion were mistaken for insur-
gent and fired upon. Twenty of them
were wounded. The government has
force of 5000 soldiers, 500 of
whom are armed with Remington III
6es. Panic prevails at Asuncion.

SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES.
George Rice Wants $3,O00,O0O From
Standard OIL

Trenton, N. George Rice of Ma
rietta, O., commenced suit in the
United States Circuit Court for $3,-
100000 damages against the Standard
Oil Company for the alleged running
Of his oil business by the defendant
company. Rice charges that the
Standard Oil Company compelled re-
ceivers to charge his customers ex-
horbitant freight rates; that the COM
pany opened grocery stores to break
down his competition, and in other
ways succeeded in taking away from
him 1000 customers, an oil refining
plant, worth $750,000, and a business,
worth $4,000 2 year This suit is
brought under the interstate COM
merce act Of 1890, and is similar in
character to one entered in the Court
Of Chancery of New Jersey by Rice,
in which he seeks to compel the revo-
cation Of the comrany's charter un-
der the laws of New jersey.

May Build Another Yacht.

London.-Sir Thomas Upton is
paying a visit to the Clyde for the
purpose, it is believed, of arranging
for the design and construction of a
fourth Shamrock. In a publised in
terview Sir Thomas said the yacht
designers seemed to think that the
changed rules in measurement made
in New York would give a British
boat a better chance of lifting the
cup, but his own preference would
be to peg away on the former lines.
'It seems to me-" said Sir Thomas,
that victory scored under exactly
the same conditions that governed
our previous defeats would be more
satisfactory than to win under new
rules. 1t is a matter, however, for
which those are responsible who de-
sign and sail the boat.

Probable State Receipts.

Some days ago Governor Varda-
man requested State Treasurer Miller
to get up a statement, showing the
probable receipts of the state govern
ment for the next two years. The
statement submitted is quite lengthy,
and goes into details as to the prob
able receipts of the state government
and the estimated expenditures. In
this statement is given the amount
appropriated by the last legislature
for the two years, which was $5.-
867, ,O901S. The probable cash bal
ance in the treasury on Feb. LIST,
1905, is given by Mr.. Miller as
S343.796.66.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
Our Buried City.


Mr.. Dunbar Rowland, State Ar
chivist, received a letter from a
party at Osego, Kansas, in which
he asks for information about the
extensive prehistoric ruins of sup
posed buried city in Mississippi.
The Kansan stated in his letter that
his object is to locate the birthplace
of the human race, and he is of the
opinion that a certain ancient city
in this state is the place. Many ques-
tions about the walls of the city, the
topography of the surrounding coun-
try, the walls of the city, their COW
ering, ETC., were asked of the archi-
visit. The party in question also
stated that if he is right in his con-
clusions there is a great amount of
money buried beneath the ruins of
the city which has never before been
of in Mississippi.

That Bond Matter.

Just when the Chicago firm will
come to the front with the 100000
for the bonds that it biz in is more
than any one can say. II is generally
believed that the firm is going to
take the bonds, as per its bid of
July 8, but it is also going to take its
own time about taking them. The
firm has $4,000 up in the shape of
a certified check, and if they fall
down co their bid, the check becomes
the property of the state. The de-
lay of the Chicago firm to take the
bonds and pay the money for same
into the state treasury, is causing the
state officers some inconvenience.

dertaking to accord the same treat
ment to American schools and kin
dred institutions as is granted to the
most favored nation, subject to the
usual departmental formalities. In
stead of immediate recognition, as in
the case of France and the other

submitted to the scrutiny of the Min
istry of Public instruction and the

Dust Devil.

Durant citizens recently called on
the mayor to make an effort to settle
the "Dust Devil" that in dry wealth
er disturbs that community. Durant
hasn't any too much water to throw
away, and the mayor met the petition
ers with homily on dust, declaring
it to be blessing as deodorizer and
an absorbent of malaria, quoting the
sanitary laws of the wandering Is
raelites as authority. The petitioners
left satisfied that the mayor knew it
all, and the mayor smiled, because he
had saved the town a great expense.

the newspapers are allowed to print
the fact that the cruiser Rurik had
been sunk. The news was held back
until the government had received
official confirmation from Vladivos-

is summed up by a line in the Russ
" The Rurik died hero s death. That
is the only consolation we have.

Telegraph Companies Protest.

The Railroad Commission has de-
clined to recede from the assessment
figures fixed some time ago on the
Western Union and the Postal Tele-
graph Companies, and the matter may
go to the courts. The commission
seems to be of the opinion that the
telegraph companies have not been
placing sufficiently large values on
their property in the state, and raised
them materially, making the values
several times larger than they have
been heretofore, or in the neighbor-
hood of $4OO, 900 each.

The past week has been a record

The charter business is steadily in

source are beginning to be accounted

Open Air Concerts.

McComb City has adopted and put

concerts by the band on Saturday

town people and bring in lots of Wis
itors who invariably buy something
before leaving for home. 1t appears
to be a good scheme.

Increased Proposed Railroads.

And the number of proposed rail-
roads in Mississippi seems to increase
as the year grows instead of on the de-
crease. While proposing roads is not
exactly building them, yet large per
cent of those proposed are built and
none are built without proposing. So
let the propositions come right along
until every section Of the state is in
near proximity to line of road. This
state Of affairs is fast coming about.

A Bumper Corn Crop.

AS an evidence that Mississippi will
make a bumper corn crop this year
with a considerable amount to spare,
we note that West Point is trying to
organize company for the purpose
of erecting an elevator to load the
crop on cars for shipment. Such a
plant would shell the corn before load
ing or would chop it up, cob and all,
if necessary. 1t now looks like Mis-
sissippi would supply some of her
neighbor states with a considerable
amount of feed stuffs another year.

The fact that Shanghai is what is
popularity known as an "interna-
tional port,' in all probability will
stop the japanese conducting any Of
fensive operations against the Rus
sian ships now there. In ports of this
character a number of nations have
well defined rights granted to them
by the government of the country in
which the port is located. The nat
ural expectation, therefore, is that
every effort will be made to preserve
the neutrality of Shanghai and pre-
vent any active steps by Japan to-
wards capturing the Russian vessels
now there.
