Under the caption Of "Young Men
Wanted" one Of the bright Mssis-
sippi papers makes strong plea that
should be read and digested by every
young man who is upon the TIRES old
Of life:
Every young man in - -
is wanted! Wanted from the street
corners, from the loafer's rendezvous,
from the idlers promenade; turn your
steps into the highway Of noble aim
and earnest work. There are prizes
enough for every successful work er /;
crowns enough for every honorable
head that goes the smoke of conflict
to victory.
"There is in the young man an up
springing Of lofty sentiment which
contributes to his elevation, and
though there are obstacles to be sur
mounted and difficulties to be vanish
ed, yet with truth for his watch word,
leaning on his own noble purpose ana
exertions, he may crown his brow with
honors. He may never wear the war
riors crimson wreath, the poets chap
let Of bays, or the statesmans laurels,
though no grand universal truth may
at his bidding be confessed to the
world, though it may never be his to
bring to a successful issue great po-
litical resolution-to be the founder
Of republic whose name shall be dis
tinguished star in the constellation of
nations. yea more, though his name
may never be heard beyond the limit
Of his own neighborhood, yet his mis-
sion is none the less high and holy
one.
'But why do so few young men Of
early promise, whose wise hopes, pur-
poses and resolves were are radiant as
the colors Of the rainbow, fail to dis
tinguish themselves? The answer is
obvious. They are not willing to de.
vote themselves to the toilsome cul.
ture which is the price Of success
Whatever aptitude for particular pur-
suits nature may donate to her favor
tie children, she conducts none but
the laborious and studious distinc.

The cotton mills in Mississippi are
seemingly especially prosperous at the
present time. They all report orders
ahead to keep them busy the greater
part Of the year. The McComb City
mill has an order for $4,000 worth q.
goods to be rushed through Nov
York for export. Otherm;l,s renort

der for China IS gratifv;no 70

While these in other sections of the
country were shutting down or run
ming short time on account Of slack
business, the Mississippi mills were
running on full or forced time to keep
ahead. No new mills have been built
In the past two years but several have
increased their plants in that time to
handle the business available. It is
sensible proposition to build cotton
mills where the raw material is pro-
duced and the manufactured article
used. The next few years will no
doubt show large increase in cotton
manufacturing in the South.
Laurel estimates that 100000 will
distribute in the section tributary to
that city in the next few weeks by
the trucking industry It is difficult
matter to estimate correctly just how
much benefit this amount of money
will be to Laurel and the surrounding
country, coming as it does at time
when there is no other crop for mar
Yet to bring money. After the truck
off the land it will be planted in
cotton, grain and other crops and
up the usual yield. It is a great
cou indeed that can raise two or
5hree ftable crops in season and
the wfAfeels confident that if the
farmers . inois labored under such
favorable @ lions their land instead
OF being woI' rom 800 to 5000 per
acre, would rea> bring $500. There

BREEN DROPS CASUAL REMARK
city Attorney Merely Makes Two
Hours Statement on Gas
Ordinance Matter.

Judge Sutton has taken under advise
ment the case IN which T. w. Blackburn
seeks a temporary injunction against the
ordinance passed and contract made with
the Omaha Gas company by the city coun-
ell October II.
Mr. Council, for the company and the
majority of the council. concluded his ar
gupent shortly before noon Friday. He
was followed by Mr.. Weaver, for the plain
tiff. and he finished early in the after
noon.
At the conclusion of Weaver's argument
the court called on City Attorney Breen.
saying he would like to hear whether the
city attorney considered the city's interest
in the franchise granted to the gas com
pany as a valuable asset or not.
Mr.. Breon said that the city is really but
little interested in the controversy.
"If the present contract fails" said he
I'VE can get another without any trouble
] am in about the position of the old
woman whose husband tackled bear and
feel like saying Go it. husband; go IT,
bear" For the three councilmen OF the
minority l will admit they were held in
| Imprisonment and were under coercion.
| They will even go so far as to admit that
| the passage of the ordinance and the max
| ing of the contract were procured by fraud,
| but l don't know that ] care to go that
/ far. I simply plead the record as IL has
| been made here and leave the decision to
| the court. As city attorney l cannot say
| this ordinance and contract were procured
! by fraud. because that would be to accuse
the majority of the council Of fraudulent
| action, and that l will not do"
Mr., Breen then became interested, APP
parently unintentionafly and without the
| least idea of malice, and went into a dis
cussion of the so-called franchise OF the
gas company as correlated to the granting
| of the contract i'm question. This dsserta-
ton grew interesting and before it was
! ended the court was asking questions and
seeking light on various phases of the dis
pute. Messrs.\ Cornell and Weaver were
also participating and as result Mr.
! Breen was on the floor about two hours
Nlonger than he really intended when he
started.
The city attorney by implication con
demned the use of outside and Interior
force against the councilmen, drawing a
sharp distinction between such force and
that which might have been employed By
the body itself, under its own rules. He
also held that while the gas company's
bids were not in compliance with sectior
8 OF the franchise, that fact in itself would
be no ground for declaring the contrac
void. nor would It be proper for the cour
to void the contract solely because Of thu
price. That he held, was matter for tn,
council to decide, within reasonable limits
and depending on the equipment provided
for and condition laid down.

FOREIGN CAPITAL INVOLVED
New Complication Arises In COnnec-

The approaching trial of Rev. George q.

Is set for January S, has given rise to an
interesting question bearing upon the rela-
ton that English capital may have to
some of the lands the versatile divine is
claimed TO have acquired by alleged fraud

number OF DeadwOod S. D., capitalists
are interested I'm the Ware holdings, and
that these capitalists are handling con-
siderable British money on the Nebraska
land and cattle enterprises which Rev Mr.
Ware is said to control The government
officials who have been investigating the
Ware case have discovered that some for
eign interests are involved in the matter
but to just what extent has not yet been
fully determined.
The present indications are that the
Ware case will be a bitterly fought legal
battle and that an effort will be made TO
make IL one of the leading, If not the fore
most, test case In the land trials. The
ostensible charge against Ware. Lambert
and Welsh is that of conspiracy. and a
host OF witnesses is being summoned In
the cases. Upwards OF fifty old soldier,
