HAPPENINGS.
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS,
AN EPlTOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
ings Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed In
Brief.
Freight Ratea

Members of the board Of trade OF
Jackson are now studying carefully
the question Of rates and freight Ia
cilities, in view of the conviction that
Jackson is destined to become OF con-
siderable commercial Importance. The
recent announcement that a branch
would be built from the Mobile and
Ohio at Shuqualak, headed for Edin-
burgh, has aroused much interest
among local business men. 1t has long
been recognized that the only saliva
ton for the city as a competitive job
bing and wholesale market, depends
upon the construction Of line from
this city toward Columbus; and this
line it is insisted, must be built by
an independent concern. The matter
will be taken up and negotiations will
soon be opened with the Southern
Railway to ascertain their willingness
to come into jackson from the north
east through the magnificent timber
forests Of Pearl River bottom. With
this road it is argued, and an electric
line to Vicksburg, population will
pour into this section and the develop
ment will be phenomenal. Assurances
still continue to be received that the
Jackson and Vicksburg electric line IS
now certainty and that construction
will be commenced sooner thans most
people would think.

All of the deputies from the office
Of the state revenue agent are now on
still hunt for delinquent solvent cred

doubtless in store in the near future
for property owners who have hereto
fore been escaping taxation on mort
cages, deeds Of trust and similar in
struments. The deputies are at work
in five counties Of the state making
careful examinations of the records,
and within the next few days they Wi
have delinquent lists ready for filing

Roosevelt as Mediator.

New York. Repeated announce
ments in regard to the proximity OF
peace are confirmed, it is asserted, in
dispatch from Times correspondent
at st. Petersburgr, by information
from what is called an unimpeachable
source, showing that Russia and Japan
have selected President Roosevelt as
Mediator, that negotiations are already
IN progress and that the suspension Of
hostilities shortly may be expected.
After detailing reports as to the neg
alive conditions of peace laid down by
Russia, and set forth recently in dis
patches to the Associated Press, the
Times correspondent adds: "The Sc
lection of President Roosevelt as me-
1iator, which was due to japanese in
itiative, is regarded here as evidence
Of excellent discrimination. The Jap
anese thereby secure firm friend, who
At the same time will make it a point
IF honor to bring the negotiations to a
successful close, and who, therefore:
would not be likely to have accepted
the difficult post of mediator if the
Japanese intended to present exorbi-
tant demands. -

NEW CANAL COMMISSION.
Theodore H. Shouts Chosen by the
Pres. to Head Panama Board

Washington. President Roosevelt
has completed the personnel of the
isthmian canal commission and the
names Of the members will be made
public Monday. So far as the facts
are concerned they could be made pub
lie now, but Secretary Taft will not
return to Washington until Sunday af-
ternoon and it is desired that he shall
be consulted before the announcement
is made.
Theodore H. Shouts, president of the
Toledo, st. Louis & Western railroad,
is to head the commission. He noti-
fed the president that he would accept
the offer made to him. Mr. Shonts
came to Washington and conferred
with William Nelson Cromwell, Sec
retary Morten and Col. Edwards, the
head Of the insular affairs bureau of
the war department. He went to the
white house with Col. Edwards and
had long conversation with the pres
ident who explained to him some Of the
difficulties under which the old com,
mission had worked.
Mr.. Shouts had little to say OIL
leaving the white house except to ad-
NIT that he would accept the tender
made to him. It is understood that
the president will fix his. salary at a
large figure to compensate him as far
as possible for the financial sacrifice
he probably is making in leaving his
position.
Horace G. Burt, former president of
the Union Pacific railroad, who was
talked Of as the head Of the new COM
mission, will not have a place ON that
body.
Mr.. Shonts is to have another con-
ference with the president at which
the situation in the canal region will
)e talked over in detail.

J. R. Hudspeth, prominent farmer
Of Yazoo county, thinks that he has

disease by placing the animal in water
deep enough to cover the swollen
places, and leaving him sand

says that it is lot necessary to give

actual experience that this treatment

Knows Secrets Of Nature

1t is curious how the untutored say-
age often gets an inkling of scientific
phenomena long before the savants
Of the civilized community attain an
insight into the same natural causes
and effects. True, the savage in such
cases can assign no definite reason
for his belief, but relies apparently
On his intuition, or, more accurately,
ais keen observance of sequence in
effect.
In Egypt there are few petroleum
wells and the natives make a rude
attempt at distilling the product to
produce Illuminating oils to be burned
in lamps that are marvels of simple
ity and inefficiency, as measured by
modern standards. The oil made by
the native smokes dreadfully under
any circumstances and in the rude
amps he employs it is simply insult
,erable to the European.
The native, however. is wise beyond

His body has not yet been discovered.
