We frequently notice accounts Of
organizations of ladies for the pur-
pose Of beautifying their respective
towns-setting out shade trees, etc.
Scooba may not have arrived at this
stage in the game, but il issuggested
thatthe ladies band together for the
purpose of having improvements
made to the sidewalks. One Scooba
lady, last Monday morning, with
the assistance of q little negro boy,
a wheelbarfow, q shovel and a hoe,
went to work to repair an ugly place
in the sidewalk justin front OF her
residence-and made II very credita-
BILE job of it; but the incident is q
rather left-handed compliment to
whoever is supposed to look after
those things.
We regret exceedingly to note that
Mr.. j. r. Parker has decided that
the outlook here will not justify him
in longer sticking TO his profession
as a contractor and builder. During
his soiourn in Scoeba, Ma. Parker
has done some most creditable work
both in town and the environs, and
we had looked forward to his doing
a lot of good work for people
this spring and summer. We UNDER
stand that Mr.. Parker has entered
the employ Of HI. Stamford, the
purchaser Of the Sunfiower Lumber
Co.'s mill at Fox Prairie, and we
consider Mr.. S.Sfortunate in cur
ing his services.
A young white man named I. L..
johnson, who with his wife were
guests at the MeCalebb House for
several 4nonths last fall, and who
later leased and moved to a farm
near Shuqualak, was arrested on the
north-bound train Tuesday morning
on warrant charging him with sell
ing mertgaged property in Coahoma
County. From all we can learn,
Johnson is deserving of but little
sympathy, but al must feel for the
innocent sufferers from his criminal
ity-his wife and little child. Eha
was taken to Clarksdale by an
officer Tuesday evening.
The adoption Of the 'early-clos-
ing'' rule, over the heated term, by
the business men Of Scooba, is to be
commended. There is, really, no
business done during the summer
months that cannot be attended to
before the evening shades appear,
and the man or woman, employer
or employee, who s'puts in'' nine or
ten hours of a summer day between
the four walls OF a. hot, stuffy store
room, Is much nlor apt to render
good and acceptable service il given
the benefit of all the hours in the
fresh, outdoor air possible.

 REJECTS BRITISH OFFERS.
Zion Congress Will Not Establish Col
 ony in East Africa. @.


 Basel, Switzerland, July 3O.-By an overwhelming majority the Zionist congress to-day decided not to accept the offer of Great Britain of tract of land in East Africa for the forma- tion Of Zionist colony.
 A special sitting of the congress was called for o'clock last evening for the discussion of this subject, four orators supporting and four opposing Great Britain's proposal. The debate lasted for over six hours and Presi- dent Nordau eventually suspended the sitting at dawn owing to the tumuItu- ous scenes.
 The sitting was resumed at noon to- day, when the committee having the matter in hand presented the follow ing resolution:
 That the Zionist congress firmly maintains the principle for the found- ation of the colony in the Jewish fa- therland, Palestine, or in that vicin- ity. The congress thanks Great Brit ain for her offer of African territory. the consideration of which, however. is terminated, and hopes that Great Britain will continue to aid in the so- lution of the Jewish question:
 The resolution was adopted by a large majority amid loud protests from the socialist section, the members of which left the building. The sitting was concluded with enthusiasts cheering.

WILSON TO SEE PRESIDENT
SECRETARY WILL ARRIVE AT
 OYSTER BAY TO-DAY.

Has No Intention of Resigning AgricuI-
 tural Portfolio and Roosevelt Knows
 of No Reason Why He should-Con-
 dItions In the Department to be DIs-
 cussed-Determinatlo to Clear 1t Oi
 Every Form of Graft.
 Oyster Bay, N. r., July SO.-secre- tary Wilson, of the department of agri- culture, is expected at Sagamore Hill tomorrow. His visit will enable him to discuss with the president the situ- ation in the department as it relates to the Investigation now in progress. All run1ors of the intention of Secretary Wilson to resign may be put aside as merely conjectural. The secretary has no present intention of leaving the cab Einet, and the president knows of no reason why he should resign.
 The president, it may be said, reposes implicit confidence in Secretary Wilson and is thoroughly satisfied that he will solve the difficulties now presented to the entire satisfaction of the chief ex- ecutive and the country.
 It is probable that Secretary Wilson would have come to Oyster Bay before had it not been for the unsettled condi- tion in his department, which rendered it practically impossible for him to leave Washington. He is pressing every phase of the investigation now in prog gress and will develop every fact which the country ought to know. That the president is confident the secretary will purge the department of any scandal that may attach to it is evidenced by the fact that he has not interfered with the pending Investigations. All matters brought to his attention have been turned over to Secretary Wilson with instructions to inquire into them. This the secretary has done and his work has the approval of the president.
 It is the determination of both the president and Secretary Wilson to clear the department of agriculture of every form of graft" To this end the like l1hood is that every bureau of the de- partment will be inquired into carefully with a view to ascertaining whether any such condition exists as was de- Veloped in the bureau of statistics. Quietly but effectively Secretary Will son has been working to this end for many months. Many employees of the department have been dropped from the rolls practically without the knowl- edge of the general public. Some have been dismissed outright, while others have been permitted to resign. Assur- ance is given that no stone will be left unturned to eliminate every taint of scandal on the department of agricul- ture.

GERMAN CELEBRATION
 OPENS AUSPICIOUSLY
BIG REPENTANCE AT NEW HAVEN
 THEATER.

Address Delivered by Professor Richard of COIumbin--@The German IdeaIIsm as Political Cure," His Theme--More
 Than NIaterIaIistlc Men Needed in Politics--SchiIler EnIogixed--SpIen- did Musical Programme--WeI eIcome by Mayor StudIey-Origlnal Poem by
 200 Voices.
 The opening exercises of the German day and Schiller celebration in this city were held at the New Haven the ater last evening and consisted of ad- dresses, music and a recitation. With the exception of few remarks by Mayor Studley, all the singing and talking was in German. ... : Never has the theater been more beautifully decorated than last night. Scenery made room of the stage and on & large staging near the back walls were seated the members of the vari- SNo NNAhluFA SaLSAi16 Ot5GAk4AlLAblS OL this city! At the back of. this stand was life-sized painting of Schiller, and marble bust of the poet on a pedestal, draped with the American flag, also occupied position at the right hand of the stage. Palms and evergreens were much in evidence on the stage and around the theater, and they added much to the general beau ty of the scene. There were also many American and German flags and ban ners draped from the stage, galleries and boxes
 When the exercises started at 7:30 o'clock the theater was well filled with '. most representative gathering of the German residents of this city. Prom- irlent on the programme was Mrs. Ma rife Rappold of New York, pupil of MT. Conreid and prominent soprano singer. Mrs. Rappold gave several selections in beautiful and most ar t1stie manner and won the burst of merited applause she received. She was also the recipient of magnifi- cent bouquet of American Beauty roses.
 Another soloist of prominence was Mir. William Rieger of New York, tenor soloist in grand opera at the Metropolitan opera house in New York. MT. Rieger has a splendid lyric tenor voice and his renditions were much enjoyed.
 August Fraemcke of New York, one of the leading pianists of this country, rendered some excellent selections.
 This city was well represented on the programme, the orchestral music being furnished by Frank Fichtrs or chestra, augmented by number of leading metropolitan artists. The cho- rus singing was feature, the chorus being made up of two hundred voices, including all the local German singing societies. Their work was excellent and each rendition was received with loud bursts of applause.
 Mayor Studley was present and he gave brief speech, in which he said that President Roosevelt and Emperor William are two of the greatest na- t1onal leaders in the world. He spoke of the friendly feeling existing be- tween this country and Germany, and closed by giving most hearty well come to all the out of town guests to the exercises.

Ante Racing Cracks at Toledo.

Toledo, July S0.--Just at the finish of the first three-mile heat in what was to be three-heat race for $1, 900 between Barney 0ldfield and Earl Riser on the half-n1ile track at the fair grounds here to-day the axle of Kiser's machine broke and the race was not finished. Oldfield's time was S:49 and Kisers S 3:49 1-6. Later in an exhibition Oldfeld covered a mile in 1:12, lowering his half-mile track record of 1:13 4-5, made at Omaha last year. Charles Soules broke the half-n1ile track record of 1:24 2-5 for rty-horsepower machines by going a mile in 1:17 2-5.

NEW CASES OF YELLOW
 FEVER TWENTY SEVEN
PLAGUE CONTINUES TO SPREAD IN THE CITY OF NEW
 ORLEANS.

Three Deaths Yesterday-WOrk of Sani-
 tatiOn, FumigatiOn, OiIing and Screening to Stamp Out the Infection Kept Up All Day Sunday-Decreased Number of New wFOci-MississippI Re- fuses Admission to Holders of Ger tificates That They Have Passed
 Through Detention Camp.
 New Orleans. La., July 3O.-New cases reported up to o'clock this eve- ming, 27. Total cases to date, 2SS; deaths to-day, 8; deaths to date, 57; new foci, 4; total foci, fl.
 Though this was Sunday the work of sanitation, fumigation, oiling and screening to stamp out the yellow fever infection went on just the same and will continue daily until the city has been thoroughly screened and made mosquito proof. The record for to-day shows little change from that of yesterday except in the reduction of the number of deaths. The de- creased number of gnew foci is also again a source of encouragement.
 A new complication was disclosed to- day when. Superintendent Curran of the New Orleans & Northeastern rail- road announced that two passengers, who had remained the required length Of time in the Slidell detention camp and sought admission into Mississippi had been turned back. If the Missis- sippi health authorities now refuse admission to holders of certificates of detention issued by the marine hospi- tai service, 1t will result in the govern ment abandoning those camps and travellers will have to either stay here or 80 to points in the north and east and spend ten days before they can return to Mississippi. .r"
 The location of the Louisville and Nashville camp has not vet zeen fixed. but pr. Guiteras hopes to get in com munication with Adjutant General Fridge of Mississippi, who is in charge of the state quarantine on the gulf coast. and finally arrange the matter. The Mississippi troops are now doing Sudru uuty on the coast.
 City Health Officer Kohnke, who is in immediate charge of the situation in the city and who has been subiect- ed to some criticism from various sources. to-day gave out the fo1low- ing statement, which shows how the authorities handled the infection as soon as it was discovered:
 'The first intimation of yellow fever in New Orleans was had on July 1s, when two physicians reported two eases of illness resembling, in their. Judgment, yellow fever, which cases were submitted to the president of the state board of health at his office. The health officer of the city was sum- moned Immediately and the cases re- ported, one being already dead at the time, were by him considered for san itary purposes, actual yellow fever and the premises were treated accord ingly; that Is, the disinfecting meth ods employed were those against yellow fever infection"

LIGHTNING KILLS FIVE AS THEY SEEK SHELTER
NINE OTHERS ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND MANY
 PROSTRATED.

All Standing Under q Bath-hOuse at
 COney Island During Terrific Thun- 1 der StOrm-BOIt Strikes Flagstaff 1 and Grounds in Their Very Midst 1 Panic FOIlOws-AM the Bodies i ScOrched by the EIectricIty-OneM Man Killed and Three PrOstrated al l GraYesend Beach.
 New York, July 3O.-During thun-
 derstorm of terrific intensity which
 passed over New York this afternoon
 five persons were struck by lightning and instantly killed and nine others se-
 riously injured at the Parkway baths at Coney Island. At the same time one
 man was killed and three were pros trated at Gravesend Beach. The killed: George Denwitta, Brook
 lyn; Jacob Frankel, Manhattan; Rob ert F. Wasch, Bronx borough; Charles
 Bennerle, Brooklyn; Frank Bennerle,
 Brooklyn, and Henry Ransweiler, l Brooklyn.
 The injured: David Wills, Brooklyn; James J. Dunne, Brooklyn; Tina Christiansen, Brooklyn; Harry Krohn, Brooklyn; Clara Thiel, Brooklyn; Mary L. Curley, Brooklyn; Isaac Raffe and
 wife, Brooklyn; Amelia Schone, Brook lyn; William Ransweiler, Brooklyn; John Apple, Brooklyn, and Daniel Me- Cauley, Brooklyn.
 The intense heat of the morning at tracted a great multitude to the shore
 resorts, and late in the afternoon, when the storm blew up from the westward, the Parkway beach was thronged with bathers and spectators. When the rain descended In torrents hundreds of
 men, women and children sought shell ter under the big bath-house which is elevated above the sand on piles. Lightning and terrific thunderclaps were incessant. A few minutes before 5 o'clock a bolt struck the flagstaff of the bath-house and grounded in the very thickest of the crowd. Nearly fifty persons were prostrated and the rest screaming with terror, rushed out into the storm. Those who had remain ed in the water were also panic-stricIx- en and fled in all directions, not daring to enter the bath-house, which appear ed to be on fire. ..a
 Ambulances were summoned from all the nearest hospitals and on their ar- rival five persons were found to be dead and nine unconscious under the bath house. The bodies of all were scorched by the electricity. The nine injured were removed to hospital, where it was said that some probably would die. Many persons less seriously hurt were taken home by friends. A slight fire in the bath-house was quickly extinguish- ed by the rain.
 During the same storm Henry Rans- weller was struck and killed while standing under tree at ravesend Bay, and his son William, John Apple and Daniel McCauley were rendered uncon-. scious
 Lightning struck at various points in the city. A store on Flushing avenue, Brooklyn, was burned and car on Sixth avenue, Manhattan, was set on fire, but the occupants escaped unhurt. The electric light and telephone wires in Bellevue hospital were struck sev- eral times, extinguishing all the lights and causing great alarm among the patients.
