Want to Add Vocal Music.

The proposal of State Supern-
tendent of Education Whitfield to
add vocal music to the public school
curriculum seems to be meeting
with much approval, and favorable
action is expected thereon when the
legislature meets. The old singing
schools, for which Mississippi was
famous in days gone by, have passed
out of existence, and vocal music is
becoming almost lost art in some
communities, except among the dar-
kies, whose musical tastes are pro-
verbal 4 few years ago, when
Rev. Sam Jones was conducting a
revival service at Heidelberg, he
complimcnted his choir by telling
them that they sang more like ne
groes than any white folks he ever
saw. The choir became offended,
however, and refused to sing any
more.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Gen. Reyes has
NOT received the reply of the Wash
ington government TO his note in which
he officially charges the United States
with violating the treaty Of 1916 In
preventing Colombia troops landing on
the isthmus for the purpose of putting
down the rebellion. Until he
knows the character of this reply, and
whether it precludes the expediency
of further pour parlers Gen. Reyes can
not fix the date for his departure for
home. If the answer gives hope of any
action by the United States in the d.
rection of relief for Colombia, however
small, the negotiations probably will
continue. If the note he final in It's re-

of Gen. Reyes, It will, in the eyes of
Colombia, assume the form of an ul-
timatum, and Gen. Reyes and DR. Her

country. Their departure will mark the
suspension of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries.

Sharp Legal Battle.

Omaha, Neb, Jan. 4-This morning
the trial of United States Senator Chas.

court SENATOR Dietrich has been in
dicted on three different counts for the
alleged violation of section 1S1 OF the

ing benefits therefrom while a member

The two former indictments are
named as ones to come to trial first.
and the indications point to a legal
battle to which Of the two will first
be tried. Senator Dietrich's counsel
has already stated to the court that
he will attack the validity and suf-
fciency of the conspiracy count, and
this motion when presented no doubt
will receive extraordinary attention.
District Attorney Summers has an
nounced his wish to first try Senator

that the court will be asked to first

ing indirect violation of the statute.
For Senator Dietrich will appear as
counsel Gen. John c. Gown, Of Oma-
ha, and ]. r. Batty, Of Hastings. Gen.

astute of western lawyers. He is

nown, and has conducted the defense

sistant District Attorney John r. Rush,

About 1875 witnesses have been called

FIRE DRILL IN KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 4-As re-
suit of the alarm aroused by the Chi

TO drill the entire school population of
Kansas City in fire exercises.
These drills are to be inaugurated
and taught rapidly, and when learned
will he practiced regularly. Sucf- a
scheme was naugurated after the cy-

schools had 23 children killed but after
ten years practice, was discontinued.

Growth Has Been Phenomenal.

The testimony Of those who are
posted on the affairs OF the State
says that Mississippi never enjoyed
greater prosperity than it has dur
ing the year which has just drawn
10 d close. The industrial growth
Of the State has been something
wonderful. More new enterprises
have been chartered in Mississippi
during the last twelve months than
in any twelve months before. The
outlook for the new year was never
brighter. The farmers and the peo-
pie in the country will have money
this year. a gentleman familiar
with conditions says that the banks
Of the Northwest are borrowing
money from the banks in Jackson
and other cities in the State. He
states that the banks throughout the
State hold approved collateral from
many of the Western banks for
loans. 1t has been the usual thing
for banks in this section TO redis-
count in New York. The cotton
crop in this and other States has
been moved mostly with home
money this year, and the call on the
Eastern centers has not been near
as heavy as IN other years.

Miller Makes His Bond.

State Treasurer w. j. Miller has
made his bond, as required by law,
with a surety company. The bond
is for $250,000, and it costs the
State $3.50 year to provide ;f'i
bond, the rate the surety company
charges for being responsible for
that sum Of money. There is n
great probability that the coming
Legislature will make some change
in the law relating to the ireasurer's
bond. None of the surety compan-
les care to make the treasurer's
bond, for the reason that all Of the
States moneys are kept in one
vault, and not in repositories, which
makes it easier to lose large sums.
