Indian Trust Funds.

Washington, D C-President Roose-
welt has sent letter to Secretary
Hitchcock on the subject of authority
for granting contracts for the educa-
tion of Indians in denominational
schools. The president says that mas
much as the legal authority exists to
grant the request of the Indians un-
questionably they are entitled by
moral right to have their moneys used
to educate the children at the SCHOOLS
they choose. The president directs
that the interior department continue
the practice unless directed otherwise
or the courts hold that the decision of
the department of justice to that ef-
feet is wrong. The president also
urges the passage Of the Lacy bill au-
thorizing the allotment of annuities
in severalty to the Indians in the same
way as their land is allotted.

A. NJ. Imboden of Nacogdoches, states
that he wrote to District Attorney

that Mrs. Alice Webb-Duke be dis
charged from custody, she being held
on indictments against her in Texas.
Mrs. Duke was indicted by the grand
jury of Nacogdoches county charged
in connection with Charles w. Taylor
of Chicago, with swindling. Mr.. I'm
boden caused Mrs. Dukes arrest in
New York some time ago. Now he has
concluded that the game is not worth
the candle and he has advised District
Attorney Jerome that the prosecu-
ton will not be pursued in this state.

nand to Gen. Linevitch, commander
If the first artillery, have been cur
-ent in st. Petersburg since the an
1ouncement that Gen. Grippenberg
lad been relieved of his command of
5he second army. The Associated
Press is unable to obtain any confirm
ition Of the reports. The war office
declares they are improbable but is UNI
able to deny them. A distinguished
general in conversation with an Asso-
.iated Press reporter said that EVIL
1en.ly there had been friction be-
tween General Kuropatkin and GEN
sral Grippenberg and added: Il have
heard great deal of talk about Ku-
ropatkin asking to lie relieved, but
nothing positive can be said en- the
subject at present."
According to one of these runners,
Grippenberg complained to the en-
aeror that General Kuropatkin had re-
fused to support his fanking move
nent for which General Grippenberg
asked to be relieved. The emperor, it
IS added, then telegraphed to- Kuro-
pat<in asking for an explanation IN
reply to which Kuropatkin wired that
his health was shattered and requested
permission to turn over his command
to General Linevitch. According to the
second and more reasonable report of
the affair General Kuropatkin COM
planned to the emperor that General
Grippenberg undertook the fianking
in defiance of orders and
demanded the generals dismissal. The
hope is generally expressed that the
incident will be satisfactorily adjust
ed.
General Kuropatkin telegraphing
under date of Feb. 3rd to the emperor
said:
"The village of Chautaundhenau
has been occupied by our troops after
a fight at 5 o'clock this morning. At
ter several volleys the sharpshooters
entered Fanshen and shot and bayo-
netted many japanese. The latter were
REINFORCED and attacked the sharp
shooters who retired carrying off their
dead and wounded.
"On our right flank the japanese
left hundred corpses which we bu-
lied. "

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
A Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
$4,000 From Rockefeller.


DR.. w. 7. Lowrey, president of Mis-
sissippi College at Clinton has arrived
from New York, where he attended a
meeting of the Baptist Educational
Society of America. As result of
his visit to New York it is more than
likely that DR.. Lowrey will receive
for Mississippi College from John ID.
Rockefeller an additional endowment
Of about $4,000 for Mississippi Col
lege. Some time ago, when President
Lowrey undertook the work of in
creasing the Mississippi College en-
dowment in the sum of $4,000. Mr..
Rockefeller agreed to give $4,000 to
the institution when the Baptists Of
Mississippi succeeded in raising $45,-
600. This agreement was complied
with and President Lowrey is now
engaged in an effort to raise 100000
for the purpose of erecting new build
ings and securing additional equip
ment at the college, While in New
York he received an intimation that
Mr.. Rockefeller was well pleased with
the prompt manner in which the pre-
vious endowment had been raised,
and is willing to again aid the institu-
tion.

Morton is Immune.

Washington.-At the conclusion Of
a long Cabinet meeting, Attorney Gen
eral Moody and Secretary Morton re-
NAMED with the President for a con-
siderable time. Railroad rate legis-
lation was under discussion. 1t is
understood that under an act of Con-
gress the officials of the railroad cor
porations who testify before the In
terstate Commerce Commission in an
investigation are rendered immune
thereby from prosecution for such Of
fense against the law as. may be dis
closed by their testimony. Whether
officials of the same corporation who
do not testify also are immune from
prosecution for the offense charged is
said to be a serious question of the
law. Secretary Morton was one of
the officials of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad who testified
before the Commission during its in
vestigation for the rebate charges.

of motion by Mr.. Moon of Tennes-

Propositions by Mr.. Watson, of In
diana, to exclude the civil service
rules from rural carriers and by Mr..
Griggs of Georgia, for the dismissal
of postal employees belonging to any
association or organization having for
its object the increasing of salaries,
excited sharp debate but were ruled
out on points of order.

DIFFERENTIAL TO GULF.
Traffic Men Will Meet Today al

Chicago. Traffic officials Of the
Gulf railroads will meet to decide how
much lower the export rates on corn
from Omaha to the Gulf shall be than
those to Atlantic ports.
At meeting of executive officers
today the Eastern roads urged their
Western connections to reduce rates
to prevent the Gulf lines from having
a differential or lower rate by more
than three cents. 1t was decided that
no further cuts should be made to
the Atlantic ports until the meeting
in st. Louis tomorrow. The lowest
published rate from Omaha to the
Gulf on corn for export is eleven
cents per 100 pounds by the Missouri
Pacific. The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy has made a through rate of
thirteen cents from Omaha to Balti-
more;

Good for Guntown.

A most commendable piece of work
has been reported from Guntowr
where a local bank paid for 100 sub.
scriptions to the Hot Times, the home
paper, and sent to its patrons for q
year. 1t will prove good invest.
ment for both the bank and the paper.
A town is largely judged away from
home by the appearance of the 10.
cal papers, and this piece of business
generosity on the part of the bank
will be of benefit to the paper. Their
too, the prosperity and business of the
town is largely the work of the paper
if there is more business for the towr
there will as matter of course be mort
business for the bank. SO the action
of the bank in question was a good
business move. 1t is feared that &
large number of newspapers will want
to move to Guntown.

Waterworks Damage.

from the Illinois bank of the Missis-

the city waterworks smashing the
ice-guards and screens and piling up
in the intake despite all efforts to
keep the large pipe clear. When the
ice became tightly jammed the capaci-
ty Of the intake was diminished two
thirds. An effort will be made to-mor-
row to free the intake by means Of
dynamite, as there is only two days

Corner on Eggs.

Pittsburg. Local produce men al
lege there will be a shortage Of eggs,
and prices will soar to fifty cents a
dozen, owing to the action of Chica-

the corner came when several Liber-
ty avenue jobbers, most of whom have
no eggs in stock, called up Swift and
Armour for quotations. Both pack
ers offered storage eggs at twenty-four
cents. This led the jobbers to inves-
tigate, when one of them received a
telegram from 7. R. Purcell & Co., the
largest jobbers in Chicago, stating
that the packers had evidently cor
nered the market

stated that when he obtained employ

agent of the department of justice he
never informed them that the was an

Water Power Increasing.

The value Of water power is inereas-
rag as the supply of coal and other
fuel is diminishing. Although it seems
that they attract little interest there
are number of locations for water
power plants in Mississippi. They
may come into use later on, possibly
after they have been let go by the
present owners to some smooth fell
low who realizes what they are worth.
There are several in the Southern por-
tion of the State and few in the North
ern. While the proximity Of large
town or city is necessary for the sue
cess of an electric power plant, indi-
vidual manufacturing plants can be
built almost anywhere. IF you own
water power, get what it is worth be-
fore letting it 90.

get the best prices for the product.
This is the largest trucking organiza-
tion in the state, and the plan decided
upon for handling the business insures
its success. No commission men are
considered at all. With its own agents
in the market, the stuff is sold at pre-
vailing prices, cutting out middle men
and speculation. This is the proper
manner in which to make truck grow
