Dear sir:
Some days since there appeared il
the Scimitar, an interview with ey-
State Senator Alf, D. George, con.
cerning the exhibit of Mississippi al
the st. Louis Exposition, which is tc
my thinking unintentionally mislead
ing, and there fore ask space in your
columns to correct it. The Senator
states that he was disappointed in the
M M!ssissippi exhibit. and lead one to in
fer that the State has no exhibit save
Beauvoir for it's Appropriation. and
! was there fore not properly advertised
AS citizen Of the State, and a
member of the recent Legislature,
which voted an increased appropria-
tion for this exhibit, and one who
desires existent facts to be known,
wish to state that Mississippi has a
very creditable exhibit at thu st.
Louis Exposition and has it in the
proper places. The various State
buildings are not intended primarily
as being aught but resting places for
the citizens of the States, for the
representatives of the various States
and as headquarters for visitors from
these States. The exhibit OF the
resources of the States and foreign
nations are to be found in the ap-
propriate buildings, and here, if
Senator George had taken the time to
look for them he would have found
the exhibits OF Mississippi.
He would have found in the Fores-
try Fish and Game Building an ex-
hibit of the woods of the State which
is in the highest degree creditable in
its showing of natural and finished
woods; display of the fish and game
of the state that is interesting and
Through, in fact an exhibit that is as
good as nearly any State in the build
ing and far better than many, which
have as many resources.
In the Agricultural Building he
would have found King Cotton,
and an exhibit section as large as
that of Indiana or Texas, we'll and
attractively arranged, displaying the
agricultural resources of the State.
In the Mines and M9tallurgy Building
he would have found display OF
mineral and stone that would have
astonished him with its disclosure OF
the fact that Mississippi possesses
such resources. In the Horticultural
Building he would also have found a
pleasing exhibit,
InasmucA as Mississippi is almost
purely an agricultural State, and be-
sides its agricultural resorces has lit
tie to display save timber, think the
exhibits at St. Louis are not only
where they should be and where other
States have theirs, but are very
creditable indeed, reflect credit upon
@ Henry for his labor in
getting them up, and are in charge
Of courteous Mississippians. Mr..
Chas. Scott of Rosedale has assisted

A New Steamer,

1le UOVeInment new steamer, H.
st. L, Coppee, built by the Howard
Ship Building Company, of Jefferson
vile, Indiana, arrived at our
wharf last Sunday morning. The
boat was built under the supervision
OF Alfred Shields, at a cost of
S7O, 900. While mere she was boarded
by large number of our citizens,
who were impressed with the fine ap-
pearance and splendid equipment
throughout. The plans for this boat
were drawn by Captain A. Hider, U.
S. engineer for this district, and are
patterned after the Arthur Hider, one
Of the best toats atioat.
The boat is 140 feet long, 30 foot
beam, with foot hull. Her en-
gines are OF the latest type and are
IS inches by foot stroke. She has
four boilers of the best and latest
make, easy steamers.
In the opinion of the officers and
builders this is the most complete
boat in the government service on in
land waters. From the time of the
laying of The keel Alfred Shields has
superintended the construction for
the government. Mr.. Shields has
quite reputation as naval archi-
tect and superintendent of construc-
tlon of steamboats,, and the finished
H. st, L. Coppee is piece OF work
that the entire corps of engineers con-
gratulate him on. Every stick of
timber and piece of steel has had to
pass his inspection. All of the furn-
ishings are up to specifications and
are of his choosing,
In many respects the Coppee differs
from all of the other boats Of the
Mississippi river Improvement SER
vice. The stateroom for the captain
in charge of the district, which in
this case is Captain E. W. Van @.
Lucas, has sliding door between it
and the adjoining room, that Captain
Lucas may if necessary, use the two,
or throw the two into one room, or
have his secretary at his call. There
are porcelain bath tubs for the cap
tain and engineers and for the officers
of the boat. There is also a bath
tub for the crew, a thing never be- !
fore thought Of on such boat. Sta
tionery wash basins uf marble are ar
ranged in the rooms OF the officers. |
There are separate sleeping quarters
for the deck hands, fremen, engineer
and others of the different depart
ments OF the boat. The dressers and |
commodes are of heavy quarter sawed
oak. The beds are all of iron, hand
somely trimmed in brass. Carpets
are laid on the floors OF the state
rooms. Linoleums are used where
There is separate DIM
no room for the deck hands and fire.
nen and Others of those departments.
The officers have table separate
rom that of the United States engl-
leer.
The boat was in charge of Captain
Jadal. one of the cleverest and best
posted men on the river. The Cop
,ee is names for Captain H. st. l..
Joppee, a prominent citizen OF this
county who passed away few years
go. and who for number OF years
vas connected with engineering de-
,artment OF the government Inc

convince without a doubt that Ken
mare had flowing we'll.
The vein was struck at q depth of
l29 feet, and at the bottom Of a ten.
foot Vein Of gravel; here a stop was
made with the drill, and the pumps
were put in on Tuesday afternoon
pumping at the rate ofSs6o barrels per
day, and was continued Wednesday
morning until $3.50, when the pressure
became so strong that the pumps re-
fused to work They were then taken
out and in short time the water be-
gan to flow of its own accord, at times
spouting from ten to fifteen feet above
the ground; The pipes we're extended
about thirty feet above ground, but
still the water would be thrown out of
the pipes. -,
Theories differ considerably as to
the real cause, but from the amount
of gas coming out between the spouts
of water it is not unlikely that Ken
mare will have gas wells some time in
the future. The flow continued all
day Wednesday. and it has not been
decided whether a thorough test OF
the we'll will be made at this time or
to drill further down to try and get a
continuous flow Of water.

Those who are pushing the work of
government irrigation in this state
complain Of lack of. interest on the
part of the people themselves. The
fact that the present year has been
characterized by sufficient moisture
has tendency to put the importance
of irrigation work in the background,
as Was the case with the Arkansas
traveller whose roof did not need re-
pairs when it was dry and who could
not repair it when it rained. In other
states the people are more alive to the
necessity of coming together and
organizing for cooperation with the
government. A water users associa-
ton has been formed among property
holders along the route of the pro-
posed Yellowstone canal, with which
the government will deal directly in
obtaining water rights. Just at pres.
ent there are several parties of engi-
neers at work in the state and when
report of a feasible project is made,
the property, holders should get to-
gether, take the proper steps for or
ganization and present their claims to
the government

tarrh. Jones & Collins Guarantee a
Cure.
Two or three years ago when ply
stefan had patient who was troubled
with catarrh, the prescription would
be, according to his means, either to
seek change of climate; or to take a
tonic or blood purifier. Today, the
advanced physician will tell his ca
tarrhal patient to breathe Hyomei.
This novel treatment for catarrn
consists Of hard rubber inhaler of a
size convenient to be carried in the
vest pocket or purse, a medicine drop
per and bottle of Hyomei Jsy its
use it is possible to breathe while at
home or at work. air which is almost
identical with that of the mountains
or health resorts where the all is lad
en- with healing and health giving; bal
sans. :, b.: = ~
No other medicine gives such
prompt relief as Hyomei in the treat
ment of catarrh. The first breath
soothes and heals the irritated and
smarting air passages, and its regular
use for few days or weeks will cure
the most stubborn cases.
Jones & Collins will sell q Hyomei
outfit with their personal guarantee to
refund the money If it does not cure
You run no risk whatever in buying
Hyomei, for your word decides the
question as to whether you pay for the
remedy or not.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.00 and comprises an inhaler, bot
tie Of Hyomei and dropper. The
inhaler will last lifetime; and ad

BELMONT AND THE CANDIDATE,

August Belmont. who is running the
trust branch of the democratic cam
paign, has a room at the national
democratic headquarters, and it is an
nounced that he will occupy it daily
during the campaign, neglecting his
business interests at great sacrifice In
his zeal for Parker's election.
"Augey," as he is known in New
York spoke piece" at a recent demo
cratic rally at Hampstead, Long Island
and created genuine sensation in
New York City by declaring that dur.
ing the past eight years the country
had been drifting away from the
constitution" That was the first init.
nation anybody had that in "Augey's''
opinion the constitution protected
trusts and such peculiar financial
operations as he had been connected
with IN the past in his efforts to de.
velop the railway interests OF the

NEW YORK OUTLOOK,

An alarm has been sounded by the
New York World of New York. In
substance it is that while the republi-
cans are thoroughly organized, the
democrats have done nothing. This
is true, but it is only part of the truth.
The democrats are not only not organ
lied but in the city of New York
where the voters must come from to
give them majority, if they are to
have one, the democratic leaders are
fighting each other rather than the
republicans. The row between Nc.
Carren and Murphy is growing flercer
daily, with no prospect Of settlement.
The Parker managers begin to see
that Dave" Hill let them into a had
hole when he formed an alliance with
McCarren against Murphy. He did
this in order to secure a Parker dele
cation to the national convention. In
order to get McCarren's support he
had to promise him the craftsmanship
of the executive committee of the
democratic state committee.
Advices from the state at large all
agree in saying that the republicans
are united and confident. Charles M.
Pepper, the we'll known travelling
newspaper correspondent, who is an
observer merely and not a partisan,
has just finished a tour of the state.
He found few so-called gold democrats
for Parker who had not returned to
the party four years ago. He reports
less enthusiasm for Parker than he
found for Bryan in the campaign OF
1896, and thinks that the present out.
look is in favor of the state going
republican. This accounts for the
democratic alarm and for the offer of
large sums of money in Wall Street
even on Roosevelt carrying the state
with no takers.
