Death of Mrs. Tunstall.

From the Hannibal Courier-fOSt
A shadow has fallen over homes Of
love and beauty that can be ~dispelled
only by the hope that some day, some
time, those who are now bowed down
10 sorrow will again behold the angel
face and smile which they loved so
well and last only a little while. Mrs.
Jennie Carter Tunstall, beloved wife
Of Mr.. George Tunstall, and eldest
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Johi l.
Carter, is dead. She passed into the
morning land at $40 O'Clock last night
at her home on Grifith street, sged p
years. It would require a long memo
rial to do just tribute to her who now
lies sleeping. She was lovely in heart
and mind and every characteristic,
ard none knew her but to love her,
none name her but to praise, HeI
funeral will take place next Monday
morning at 9 O'Clock, when service:
will be conducted at the residence o.
the bereaved parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Carter, at the corner Of Chestnut anC
Griffith street, and the remains will b.
laid to rest in Mount Olivet cemetery

Market Letter.

Kansas City, Mo-, Wednesday, June
IA, 1905. Smaller cattle receipts this
week have relieved the situation con-
siderably, but good to choice fed
steers are about all that show any
improvement IN price; they are 10
cents higher than last week. Receipts
of Guarantees are less than half Of
what they we're first three days of last
week, thereby removing n of the
most effective weapons the buyers had
last week. Traders here are still
bulllsh on strictly dry lot cattle, but no
material improvement is expected on
the suort fed steers or those fed
corn on grass.
Supply of cattle today is $500 head,
market about steady on best fat steers,
5 to 10 cents lowers on other cattle,
except stockers and feeders which are
selling a little better this week. The
best drove of steers seen here 10 several
weeks was here yesterday and sold at
s5. 80, Is cents higher than last
Fridays market. Bulk Of steers sell
at S4.75 to IS $50, not much different
from the close OF last week. Heifers
and yearlIngs sell at SS rs to $500,
COWS 1925 TO $3.50, bulls S2.35 to
"a 25, springers around 81. 80, veals a
quarter higher this week, $3.50 TO
1913. The proportion of stockers and
feeders is very light, as usual at this
season, feeders selling at 1915 TO
"a. so, stocKers 1925 to 81 .40, stock
calves mostly between SO. 90 to 81. 90.
Hog prices made q small net gam
last week, fluctuations have been very
small up to the last two days. Heavy
rum at all the markets this week has
resulted in a loss of 5 to 10 cents,
most on heavy weights. Top price
today is $3.50 for light weights, bulk
of sales s5.221a to So. 27h, weights
above $50 pounds selling about 8 cents
below the top. All weights are sell
ing pretty close together as shown by
the market yesterday, lbs loads sell
ing at s5.27H, more that all other
prices put together.
The sheep market advanced q

son counties, and the link from
Silver Greek to the Mississippi
River are yet to be built. # the
road is completed from Silver
Greek to Brookhayen By next
November, which is among the
probabilities, it will at once give
Brookhayen direct railroad COM
munication with Hattiesbprg and
Gulfport and the benefit Of .
competing railroad line to the
Gulf coast. When ultimately
completed to Natchez, as there is
good reason for believing it will
be ID the neal. future, it will giye
Brookhayen direct connection
with the Mississippi, and the ben
eft Of additional water and rail-
road competition in that direc-
tion, thus furnishing this city fa-
cilities for becoming an important
manufacturing centre and whole
sale market for a large section Of
the surrounding country.
The Mississippi Central Rail
road is an Independent corpora
tion and is not controlled by the
Illinois Central, the Gulf & Ship

Ohio or any other system. Presi-

are both milEionaires, and are in a

tai necessary to complete the en-
tire line from Pascagoula to
Natchez. It is stated that that
portion of the road which is in
operation between Hattiesburg
and Silver Greek, is one of the
best paying railroads now in the
whole State. The road will be
built. The Newman Lumber co.
and other big lumber manufactul-
ing concerns need for their own
benefit the railroad outlet and
competition this road would fur
nish to PascagouIa and the Mis-
sissippi river; but Brookhaven
needs it too, and her people can't
afford to sit down and see it go to
Wesson or some other point on

we're secured from the oil mill
managers for subscriptions to the

Of the e-proposed refinery plant to

through which the independent
oil mills of the State hope to
throw off the shackles Of the oil
trust.
Several mills have pledged sub

far lot a single plant having mem .
bership in the association has de-
clined to-take stock in the refinery
company, which is TO be conduct
ed as an enterprise separate and
apart from the association.
The plant will cost from $780,

THE MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL R. r.
BrOOkhaven Should Act Promptly
Securing Right Of Way.

Il
day that the engineering corps of
the Mississippi Central Railroad,
under Chief Engineer Jas. Arch
bald, is now busy completing the
preliminary survey between
Smiths Ferry, on Pearl river.
and Brookhaven. When this is
done, it will be up to Brookhayen
and the people along the route to
make finaIanswer about guarantee
ing the Railroad Company the
free right of way over this por-
ton of the route, in order to Sc
cure the road.
President f. L. Peck, of the
Railroad Company, was in Brook
haven Friday night, having reach
ed here from Hattiesburg via Sill
yer Creek and Smiths Ferry, and
went over the subject quite fully
with Chairman P, z. Jones, of the
Brookhaven citizens committee.
1t was learned from Pres. Peck
that the people of Wesson are
straining every nerve to divert
the Mississippi Central from
Smiths Ferry to that place, and
have made an offer guaranteeing
a free right Of way and a cash
bonus besides. The company is
pledged to give Brookhaven the
road, if only the free right of way
is guaranteed. 1t is only II miles
from Smiths Ferry to Wesson,
and 90 miles from that point to
Brookhaven, giving Wesson 3
miles the advantage in distance.
1t therefore behooves the people
of Brookhaven and those along
the route of the preliminary sur
vey between here and Smith S
Ferry to bestir themselves and
decide promptly what they are
going to do.
At the meeting of citizens and
railroad officials in Brookhaven
on March 1st, President Peck
stated that he would want Brook
haven's answer within 80 days.
The 80 day limit is now nearly
out, and Brookhayen must be
ready soon with her answer. The
Leader learns that Chairman
Jones and other members of the
committee are now out going over
the proposed route, canyassing
the subject, securing grants and
options, preparatory to making
their report to another citizens
meeting soon to be called. Every
one who can should lend a helping
hand and speak word of encour
agement for this enterprise, for it
! is one Of great and far reaching
Importance to Brookhayen and
her people.
The Leader has lately gathered
Some facts about The new railroad
and the men at tie back Of The
enterprise, from a gentleman ii
position to know, which will be Of
interest here to most Of our read
ers. The Mississippi Central
Railroad WAS originally projected
by the The Newman Lumber Co,
of Hattiesburg, one Of the richest
and most extensive lumber manu-
featuring concerns in the South,
for the purpose Of promoting
their timber and lumber interests.
At first The road was known as
the Pearl and Leaf River Rail
road. When it had been extend
ed from Hattiesburg IN a north
westerly direction through por-
tions Of Perry, Marion, Coying
ton and Lawrence counties to
Prentiss. the charter was amend
