nominations, but here his power ends.
AS was demonstrated in the recent
campaign, ne is n u Toeful minority

There is one man in the State. who. il
he were more vigorous physically and
aggressive, could make il warm for the
Senator inside the organization. Elk
Governor jackson is that individual. fie

spender, and an experienced politician.
He controls a section. of the Eastern

Rasin. the city leader, than any other
politician il the State
Rasin Is Incenscd.
Rasin is incensed at German for Ieav-
ing him in the Iureh al the last cleo
ton, and would gladly join hands with
Jackson. The city boss had been led
10 believe the State crowd would finance
his campaign. but ct the last moment
they left him high and dry. compelling
him TO spend his own money on the day
Of election. Rasin could not have saved
the amendment IN the city had he had
ever so much. but he might have elected
more candidates.
As il was, he did remarkably well

while the Republicans disbursed S12, COO

could not win the city, so he put all
the money in the counties As IT turned
out. this move failed 10 help him. for
sentiment against the amendment was
so strong that no amount of cash could
have saved it.
Rasin has lost faith in German, and

make the proposition. and this pain
could come nearer breaking his ma
1 chine than any of the others. Cor
man fears Jackson more than he does
any other one man. 1t was Jackson
who made it possible to elect Rayner
and If he lives that-long he will prevent
the reelection Of Senator German two
years hence. Like Ex-Governor Smith
who has a similar grievance. Jackson
was promised the United States Sena-

! MISSISSIPPI MATTERS


4 dispatch from Jackson relates
the following startling fact as hav-
ing developed at one Of the State in
stitutions in that city:
-Four years ago young man 10
years of age was sent from Jones
county to the asylum and placed in
charge of DIR. Buchanan. lie seemed
to bc broken down and suffering
from some strange malady, vast
ing kind of disease. In course Of
time the hospital authorities began
TO treat him for consumption. IL
was noticed that he had mania for
eating plaster oil the walls Of the
building. and that did not seem to
agree with him, wherefore he was
confined in one Of the wards of the
institution instead Of being given
the run Of the premises. A few
nights since h. ate hearty supper
and retired, but in a short while
called for water. The water was
supplied. and half an hour later the
attendant went after the bucket and
found the man dead.
An autopsy was held and il was
found that death did not come from
lung trouble. The examination
was then extended to the stomach.
and the physicians we're simply
dumbfounded at what they found,
which was as follows: Six brass
wrenches. such as used on water fau-
Gets; ten brass and iron screws.
eight iron and brass nuts. eight iron
and brass washers. ten pieces of bent
wire. seventy-fve iron and steel
nails, some three inches long fiftv-
thrrc brass pins. five keys. fortv-
nine pieces Of tin. one i0-cent piece.
one penny. one glass bottle stopper.
and a miscellaneous collection of
bits of glass which seemed to have
been chewed up. There was also
enough collar buttons and buttons
of other varieties to have stocked
habcrdashcr store. rocks. pebbles.
orockery and other articles too nu-
merous to mention. and all of which
was encased in plaster and cement.
The case is the most remarkable
that has ever developed in the State
Of Mississippi and the physicians
have preserved the stomach collec-
tion 10 be exhibited at the medical

years at the asylum the patient did
not seem to suffer any pains in the

that of the Russians 10000 killed or
wounded and 10000 prisoners.

morning OF the 18th.
Field Marshal Oyama reports the
capture of an enormous quantity OF

enough TO 1T out a good sized army.
The latest reports from St. Peters
burg say the war Is to be pushed TO
the bitter end. and that II there are
any peace propositions they must
come from Japan. must be moderate
and must recognize Russian supremacy
in the east. The Russian people have
not vet heard OF the result of the bat
tie of Mukden. but they are talking oil
peace.
The Japanese. with bands playing
and banners dying. entered Mukden on
the 10th inst. ON the heels OF the
fleeing Russians. The Japanese
captured enormous quantities of arms
ammunition and other war material.

they have suffered severely. they have
agnin proved themselves masters OF

fighting capacity.
