Attempted Burglary.

About dark Thursday evening lset
word was received over the 'phone from
Mr.. A. G. Adams at Wshalak that a
a answering in every respect the de-
scription OF the burglar who visited
Shuqualak a few weeks ago, had gotten
off the train at the former place and
started down the rosd towards Scooba.
With a Rip Van WiDklean iorlitude
highly to be commended, business
men showed their email change down
in their pockets, locked their store
loors and ia the bosoms Of their fami>
lies and the arms Of Morpheus soon for
got that fuch bug.a zoos as burglars
bal an existence.
With one exceptiou-our worthy P.
W., Mr.. j. p. H. Hallford, procured him
a great big double-barrelled shotgun,
warranted to kill (eisher in front or be-
hindj, and spent the night in his office.
And on Friday morning our desires
were gratiied-tbe burglar bad been
here! Sometime during the night one
of the large glasses in tho door in the
rear OF Col. James II. Dukes store had
been broken, the place entered and a
hole drilled in the door of the cafe just
to the left OF the combination.
Whoever did the job went about it
coolly. Two sacks OF -four were found
on the floor in front Of the safe, on
which the operator eat or kneeled while
working the drill. Nearby was a brace,
a sledee hammer and some other tools
from a. I. Parneli's blacksmith shop,
and a lamp with a ref ctcr belonging
to the store.
On Thursday night the Masonic Lodge
held a meeting and remained in session
until q late hour. Mr.. Bob Stewart,
who went turkey-hunting Friday morns
ing, arose very early aud was moving
around in the vicinity of his stable, in
the rear of Col. Dukes store, for some
time before the break of day. The
moon did not go down until 36 a. M.
These things combined did not allow
the burglar much time in which to get
in his work, and as he failed to force an
entrance of the safe by means of the
hole drilled, he evidently decided that
discretion was the better part of VAL
or" and decamped.
Monday night an expert from Meri-
dian opened the cafe, 1t being necessary
to ruin the door to do so, and the con-
tents were found intact. The door has
been sent to the factory and a fac-sim>
lie ordered.

Decision in Mr.. Dukes Favor.

Decision in Mr.. Dukes Favor.
Col. James H. Duke yesterday morn
ing received the following telegram:
New York, March /, 1904.
Jas. Duke, Scoobs, Mise:
Congratulations. Appellate Court af-
firms decision in your case.
ADRIAN @. ROSE.
This is the case in which Mr.. Duke
sued the publisher of the New York
journal for $50 600 for defamation OF
character, and Mr.. Rose is his attorney.
1t will be remembered that at the
hearing OF the suit, the jury awarded
Mr.. Duke $4,000, which was appealed,
and that thu higher court, while prac-
tically endorsing the finding of the jury,
recommended some reduction of th,
amount of damages. A reduction to
S20,400, and the case was then carried
to the Court Of Appeals, with the resul;
set forth in the telegram. 1t is expect
ed that this will end the matter so far
as the courts are concerned.
Mr.. Duke, aud with him the people
OF Scoooa, is to be congratulated upon
the outcome of this suit. An aspersion
upon the character of rs prominent &
citizsn Of any place as Mr.. Duke Is Of
this is a SANDER upon the whole cons
munity, and his personal vindication is
a relief to all Of us. With but few, il
any, exceptions, the people OF Scooba
and OF Kemper county will rejoice to
learn of the successful termination of
this suit.

it in a fit of pique.
The countess has been too extrav-

her natural guardian, and the ambas-
sador has called a halt. In fact, he
called it several weeks ago. when the
countess was in Bar Harbor, but lot

tional currency for tips-she has eX-
pended since her departure from the
fashionable Maine resort
Count Cassini is patriot. His coun-
try is pushed for funds, and, like the
true nobleman he is, he regards it as
his duty to strip his estates. if neces-
sary. in contributing to the govern
ment's needs So he FASTENED to cur

sake of his country.
