Important Ruling
Minors Must Have Guardian to
Get A Hearing Before In
dian Agent.

The agent for the Union Agency
is in receipt of aruling from the
department on minor leases, which
IS of vast importance to the people
Of Indian Territory, and which is
also in line with the decision Of
Judge Raymondof the Western Dis
trict.
1t directs that the agent shall re-
qnire a guardian to be appointed
for all minors before entertaining
any complaints, the object Of which
is to place the minors again in pos
session Of allotments leased by their
parents without having any author
ity to do SO.
Persons familiar with the work
Of Union Agency will at once gath
er the Importance Of Ibis ruling. 1t
places the claims Of the citizens an
legal footing, and until that is
done the agent nor any officer in
the service will have anything to do
with their complaints and re-
quests.
Additional Importance attaches
to othe fact that tine ruling applies 10
all the nations. This indicates
that the secretary is determined %
extend his powers in controlling
leases ard sales Of land and gener-
al control ofall allotments TO al

The Commercial Daiy-A
Murphy For Parker
Tammany Leader Is Willing to
Lend Support.

New York, March II.-Judge
Alton B. Parker will probably be
the candidate of the New York de-
mocracy for president Of the United
States. This was indicated the
other day when Charles F. Murphy
leader Of Tammany Hall, declared
that he was for Parker if Grover
Cleveland was not available.
Mr.. Murphy was asked the direct
question: "Will there be lineup
at the primaries between the friends
of Cleveland and the friends OF
Parker"
There will be no such lineup, "
replied Mr.. Murphy. / still think
Mr. Cleveland is the strongest man,
but if we cannot get Cleveland |
am for Parker"
This declaration IS taken to mean
that the Tammany leader hopeless
of securing the consent of Mr..
Cleveland to become a candidate,
has decided not TO oppose the eau
didacy of Judge Parkel if the de
ocrats Of New York desire him for
their standard bearer.
Il still think Mr.. Clevelan- is
the strongest man we could nomi-
nate, Mr.. Murphy said, "but I
have never said anything against
Judge Parker. Neither have I
committed myself TO the candle '
of Mr.. Cleveland and am lot
ready to do so now. Judge Parker
is a good man, and if the people are
for him / shall certainly not oppose
him"
Mr.. Murphys declaration OF his
position is regarded variously by
different men. Some say that it IS
entirely consistent with the stand
he has heretofore taken in favor Of
uninstructed delegation, and that
he will rally the Tammany cohorts
at the primaries i'll favor Of that
plan. Others maintain that it is
virtually back down and that he
is preparing to get Tito the PM ker
bandwason.

WRECK OF THE MAINE.
American Contracts to Raise it From
Havana Harbor.

Westinghouse. H. F. Sewell, of
New Orleans, has informed the Navy
Department that he has made a con-
tract with the Cuban Government to
raise the wreck of the battleship Maine
which has lain in the mud of the har-
Dor of Havana since the explosion on
the night of February Is, 1898. Be-
fore proceeding with the work, Mr..
Sewell says his desires to know what
claim, if any the United States Gov
ernment has on the wreck
The communication has been referred
to the Judge Advocate General
of the Navy for consideration. 1t
raises an interesting question, the set
tlement of which may cause some en-
barrassment. One point that puzzles
the legal officers of the navy is wheth-
er the wreck has been actually aban-
|doned, and the determination of that
point involves the right of the execu-
tive branch to abandon United States
property in a case like the present
without express provision Of law. The
Cuban Government, it is understood,
makes no claim of ownership to the
wreck and is governed in its action
simply by desire to improve the nav
igation of the harbor.

Secretary Hay Honored.

Neutrality-suspicious. Hay, the Secre-
tary of State has received notification
from the French Embassy that on the
occasion of the French that National
festival of the 14th of July, the Gov
ernment of the Republic had conferr-
ed upon him the dignity of the Grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor, in rec
ognition of the services rendered dur
ing the last six years by the American
Department Of State toward the main
tenance of peace of the world. The
Secretary of State, who has hitherto
declined all propositions of this. ma
ture, felt that he could not refuse so
signal en- honor from the great Eu-
ropean Republic considering the mo-
tive which prompted it. He thereup-
on sent to the French Embassy note
expressing his grateful appreciation Of
the offer, which he accepted, subject
to the approval of Congress.

Vegetarians Independent Of Strike.

Now York. officials of vegetarian
societies are in high glee over the pre-
dicament of the meat eaters ON ac-
count of the butchers strike, and are
readily giving voice to opinions on
the subject of diet. They insist that
the strike, instead of being hardship,
will prove ultimately two-fold bless
ing in educating the people to adopt
their theories. Living expenses, they
argue, will be greatly reduced, there
by, and the health of the people vast
ly improved. Peanuts, partly boiled,
but roasted, are, they declare, far
more nutritious than meat. Many
physicians coincide in this opinion.

Berlin.-A dispatch to the Lokal

friction between Gen. Kuropatkin and
Viceroy Alexieff which in connection
with the correspondent IS recent inter-
view with Gen. Kuropatkin indicates
that the present dispatch was based
on information from near the Russian

ors's direct representative. When

GERS corps was almost ready to mu-
tiny against the viceroy but desisted,
believing it to be possible to influence
the emperor to remove Alexieff.
The correspondent believes that the
present state of things will lead to
the loss of more battles unless Alexieff

Inot useles only but is a serious dan

A dispatch to a news agency from
st. Petersburg says the war office an
nounces the receipt of dispatch from
Port Arthur confirming the report
that the japanese sustained considera-
bic losses on July II, the exact par
ticulars of which have not yet been
ascertained. According to the dis
patch the Russians recaptured all the
positions lately taken by the Japan
eSe.
The Toxic correspondent of the
Times in dispatch filed at 9:45 p. m.
July Is, says that the st. Petersburg
sorry of japanese repulsc with heavy
casualties at Port Arthur July 10 is
wholly discredited in Toxic, where no
such reports have been received. 1t
is believed that the story originated in
Shanghai.
All the japanese energies seem to
be concentrated on Ia Tche Kiao and
Hai Cheng. The operations in the
north, which throughout may have
been foints, have been suddenly sus-
pended.
The growing activity Of Chinese
bandits in the valley of the Liao river

tional embarrassment to Kouropatkin.

worms and are attacking similar inju-

dig in the convict mines. for the fiscal
year ending Oct. l. will be $250.000.

DEPLoREs KRUGER's DEATH.
Owing to Sympathy in the Bocr
War.

Paris.-The death of the former
president of the Transvaal, Paul Kru-
ger, at Clarens, Switzerland, aroused
widespread regret here, owing to
French sympathy for the Boer cause
and personal admiration for the ex-
president. When he recently left Men
tone, his health was gradually failing
through old age, constitutional dis
orders, and throat trouble, which
threatened to extend to the lungs.
However, his personal physician, DIR.
Heymann, did not apprehend a speedy
crisis and Mr.. Kruger himself resisted
the idea that his physical powers were
failing. He had arranged to return
to Mentone next fall, releasing the
picturesque villa which he had occu-
pied on the outskirts of the town.
Nevertheless his near friends rccog-
nized that Mr.. Kruger's once rugged
constitution was gradually going to
pieces. Visitors described him as be-
lHS patHctic ISure ol cdlm enuur-
ance. His eyesight was dimmed, but
he sat much at times with his bible
open before him, muttering we'll
known passages. He avoided refer
ences to the Boer war, but when it was
occasionally mentioned, he showed no
resentment, and expressed the belief
that Providence would eventually rem
der justice to the Boer cause.

more deaths than typhoid fever, scar

persons who died from this disease in
Illinois in 1908, half of them were be-
tween the ages of 20 and so, while the
estimated losses each year to the state

A new industry, and one that but
little has been said about, is being de-
veloped by some of the saw mills in
South Mississippi. The Finkbine
Lumber Co., Of Virgins, has INSTALL
cd a plant that makes tar, turpentine,
wood alcohol, creosote and charcoal
from the waste slabs that come from
the mill. The plant has only been in
operation a short time but a gentleman
connected with the mill told the writ
er last week that it was proving a
great success. The large mills can
make steam with the planer chips and
saw dust, leaving the slabs for being
utilized as stated above, instead of be-
ing burned as waste material they will
now enter into the regular product of
the mill. The stumps will soon be used
for the same purpose. They are very
rich in the products mentioned above
and experiments are being made with
pullers for getting them out of the
ground economically. When the stump
and every bit of the tree is made of
value and easily brought into a mer-
charitable state, but little of the giants
will be wasted. Great is the age Of in
vention and the resourcefulness of
man.

The Office Of Public Enquiries at
Washington discloses a plan for i'm
proved roads that might be used to an
advantage in Mississippi. The bull
etin states that clay and sand mixed
make a fairly hard roadbed that will
not get muddy in wet weather. Sever
al counties in the state have both of
these elements and with little mix
ing better roads would no doubt re-
suit. The sand and clay may not be
right together, but with little work
they can be gotten to the right place.
The Oxford Globe sees in this plan the
remedy for road problems in Lafay-
cite county and like conditions pre-
vail in many others. A simple and in
expensable solution of the question
may yet be hit upon and so long as the
matter is kept agitated, so long will
experiments be made looking to that
end

again. They not only have good time
on these trips, but never let an oppor-

McComb City is making great pre-
paration for the fair this fall and it is
estimated that fully 10000 people
from a distance will be in attendance
Prizes large enough to stimulate in
terest have been put up and some ex-
cellent stuff will be in competition.
The fair will bring hundreds of peo-
pie to McComb who would not come
there otherwise and will of. course
make purchases large or small while
in town. Then too, it may get them
in the habit of going there to trade
and that is one of the objects of the
fair outside the stimulation of renew
ed efforts to produce more and better
crops, live stock, etc. McComb is
making a wise investment which, while
the results may not be strikingly ap-
parent at once, will come in good time.
A comparison of the business done
