The above paragraphs present The
Bulletin anagram for last week and
what it stood for is plain English
The plan was that a representative
Of the paper would parade the princi-
pal avenues and streets of the city
for several hours yesterday afternoon,
carrying a So gold coin which he was
to surrender TO the first person who
addressed him with the correct mean
ing Of the anagram
The Bulletins representative was
on the streets named during the hours
named ready to surrender the coin TO
the right party, and although many
a one even looked inquiringly or sus,
piciouSly at him. the words were not
uttered in bis hearing, and at the
appointed time be returned the gold
coin unclaimed.
II is known, however, that a mum
her of persons solved the anagram
and It would seem could easily have
gotten the money had they made n
diligent search for the man
Another scheme will be presented
in due time to engage the interest Of
those who love TO exercise the mind
in the solution Of mysteries.

TOWN is DESTROYED
YdzOo City's Mayor Is Danger
ousIy Injured.

JACKSON, Miss, May %. = With
every business house of any impor-
lance in ashes, together with a large
number of private residences, the prin-
cipal hotel and the passenger depot,
YaZoo City, town of 5000 people,
forty-fiv miles from Jackson, today
had one Of the most exciting days in
it's history. The fire started at $3.50
o'clock this morning and burned until
8 o'clock this afternoon, destroying a
total of 200 houses. The burned dis
trict is three blocks wide and twelve
blocks long. The estimates of the loss
are between $1,60G,000 and $4,000, 600.
The belief is that the fire had its origin
in defective wiring.
a man named Chambliss, a citizen of
YazoO City, was killed by falling walls,
and Mayor Holmes was badly hurt
and is in a precarious condition. He
had been in office but three or four
weeks. About sixty families are home
less. Tonight Gov. Vardman ordered
out the Greenwood militia company
and directed them to go to Yazoo City
to protect property.
1t is now thought that the loss will
be between 100000 and $4,000, 600.
Some estimates are even as high as
100000. The insurance is between
100000 and $1,000,000.

CASTRO ARMS anew
Perhaps Venezuela Is Getting
Ready to Repudiate.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 25-Mil-
itary measures on a large scale begun
recently by Venezuela are giving rise
to a great deal of uneasiness and ap-
prehension here. It is stated that a
French company sold Castros govern
ment large amount Of artillery, which
is being placed in Notifications at
Puerto Cabello and other important
coast ports. The company also con-
tracted to supply a force Of skilled ar
tillery men to man the guns for Ger
tain period.
Just what this expensive armament
means when Venezuela is so poor is a
matter of speculation here, and there
is some fear that it is the forerunner
Of a Reputation by Venezuela Of habil-
ity for further payments of INSTALL
ments of indemnity under the awards
Of the recent arbitrations.

JURY DECLARES
TYNER INNOCENT
Takes But a Few Moments to
Decide as to Him and
His Nephew.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20
Within twenty-five minutes of the re-
tirement of the jury in the case Of
James N. Tyner and Harrison J. Bar
rett, tried on the charge of conspiracy
in connection with their duties as law
officers of the postoffice department, a
verdict of not guilty was returned.
Gen. Tyner, expecting a longer wait,
had been wheeled from the room and
his nephew and co-defendant fastened
to give him the notice which caused
him to return. Gen. Tyner was wheeled
in and faced the jury and when the
verdict was returned he broke down
completely Several of the jurors wept
with him.
The Tyner-Barrett case was begun
on May 2. The prosecution brought
forward an army of witnesses, a ma
jority of whom were former officers of
bond investment companies, through
which Harrison J. Barrett, the junior
defendant, was alleged to have profited
after he left the postoff1ce department
by practicing before his uncle, who
remained in the department.
The principal arguments made to-
day were by A. S. Worthington for the
defense and Maj. Holmes Conrad, spe-
ciaI counsel for the government, for
the prosecution. The latter told the
jury that they had no right to enter
tain sympathy for Gen. Tyner or the
young wife of Mr.. Barrett, who was
a witness in the defendants behalf.
Judge Pritchard, in his charge, en-
phasized the fact that the jury should
not be influenced by prejudice on the
one hand nor sympathy on the other,
and said the case should be tried solely
on it's merits and without regard to
what the effect the verdict might have
on the public mind.
