Oyster Commission.

Gulfport, Miss, June 6.-The Mis-
sissippi Oyster Commissioners report:
Receipts for licenses for the year, S21,-
3S5; expenditures, 1900; revenues for
last year, 17,t03.S4; the year prior,
S1,420.45.
The Harrison County Board of Super
visors has elected the following Board
of Pilot Commissioners for the ensuing
four years: F. S. Hewes, Jr., of Gulf
port; E. J. Adam, of Pass Christian;
and John Clemmens, of Biloxi, in place
of Captain John Walker.
At 10 o'clock last night fire destroyed

CITY OF PASCAGOULA
HELD LIABLE BY LAW.
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
THE CITY MUST PAY-CONTRI-
BUTTON NEGLIGENCE Fl l. d
GOOD IN CASES AGAINST THE
A. & V. RAILROAD.

In the case of the City of Pascagoula
VS.. Mrs. D. M. Kirkwood, an opinion on
which was handed down by the Missis-
sippi Supreme Court Monday afternoon,
it developed that Mrs. Kirkwood was
injured by fall on a sidewalk that had
been torn up for repairs. She sued the
town and was given a judgment for a
small sum.
The defense was that the City Of Pas
cagoula was not responsible in view of
the fact that the grading was being done
by private individuals, and not by the
city. 1t was further declared that Mrs.
Kirkwood knew of the defects in the
walk.
But that seemed to make no differ
ence-the court holding that the city
was responsible for what was going on,
that it is obligated to keep up and main
use them at any hour of the day or
night, and could not be expected to get
out in the road to dodge broken places
in the walks.
The court was of the opinion that the
verdict was very moderate one and af-
firmed the case.
Another damage suit was that of the
Alabama C Vicksburg railroad VS.. Jones
from Scott county. Jones had been in
jured in getting off the defendants train
while it was in motion. He was ordered
to get off by the trainmen. There was
no light at the depot, and Jones was
dragged considerable distance and
hurled to the ground. He was guilty of
contributory negligence, but the lower
court gave him verdict, which is re-
versed and the case remanded.
The case OF A. P. Sims VS.. Miss Pau
line Schwabs, from Adams county, was
similar to the above. Miss Schwab had
stepped into an elevator shaft in Sims
place of business, knowing full we'll of
the existence of the elevator, if not ac-
tually warned, and was guilty of con-
tribntory negligence, wherefore that
case was also reversed and remanded.

In reply to an inquiry State Auditor
T. NJ Henry has addressed the sub
Joined letter to w. E. Still, tax-collector
of Tate county. The auditors Office has
recently had many complaints along the

"Replying to your favor of the 7th
instant beg to advise that under gen

State Supreme Conrt you cannot collect
privilege tax from drummer or so
licitor soliciting orders for a concern To-
Gated outside the State, on the grounds
that the same would be an interference
with interstate commerce, and later it
was decided that the right to solicit or

''The whole transaction, however,
must be a bonafide one. The order must
be actually placed.
81 suspect if you would probe the
matter little you might find the agents
are adopting that course simply as a
blind, and no order was placed for the
goods by the purchaser in advance of

A JESSE JAMES STORY.

The donations offered by John D.
Rockefeller call forth a story from Con
gressman Scott, of Kansas, which, in
brief, is as follows: Years ago when
Jesse James was riding through Mis-
souri, on horseback he stopped for din
ner with a widow. She gave him the
best she had, but seemed very sad, and
Jesse inquired the cause. After some
weeping she informed him that an old
skinflint had mortgage on her place
for $1,000; it was due and he would be
after it that day, but she had not the
money to pay it. She was sure he
would dispossess her. After some fur
ther questioning Jesse went down in his
pocket and from a roll counted out
$4,000 and gave it to the woman to meet
her debt. He waved aside the widows
thanks, and, after asking her which way
the rich man would likely come and the
way he would return, Jesse James rode
away. The creditor came in due time
and was surprised to receive the money,
but took it and rode away through the
woods. Some distance from the house
he met Jesse James, who, in his charac-
teristic way not only collected back the
$4,000 he had given the widow, but got
$4,000 in addition. "F'or some reason
or other,'' says Mr.. Scott, whenever
| hear of John D. Rockefeller giving
money to missions or to colleges l am
reminded of that story, I don't know
why, but perhaps you can figure it out"

Vegetable Canning Would Provide
Labor for BoiiemianS.
GEO. NJ. EDGAR,
Gen. Mgr,
GulfpOrt. Miss.

Biloxi, Miss, June 6.-An effort is
being made by members of the Biloxi
Truck Growers Association to interest
the local oyster canneries in the putting
up of vegetables. A committee from
the Association will invite a conference
with a like committee of Gamers to see
if some agreement cannot be reached as
to the prices which will prevail and the
amount and kinds of truck which could
be utilized for canning purposes. Henry
Lund, one Of the most. progressive OF
the growers, says that okra, corn, to-
matoes, snap beans and peas can be
placed at the canneries here as cheaply
as at those of Baltimore, and in sufficient
quantities to keep the canneries busy
during the season when there are no
oysters and shrimp to be canned. 1t is
also urged that such an arrangement
would probably keep number of the
Bohemian oyster laborers here the year
round, who at this season OF the year
emigrate in body to Maryland to work
in the fruit and vegetable canneries.
Further efforts will be made by the
Biloxi Commercial Club to secure the
corporation of the other commercial
bodies along the coast to haye the drive
way along the beach from Biloxi to Pass
Christian widened and otherwise i'm
proved. The matter has been brought
70 the attention of the Harrison County
Board of Supervisors before, but no ae-
ton was taken by the Board.

hat we have, among the members of the Jour
noistic craft here in Salt Lake talent of no mean
order is evidenced by the following excerpt from
an article which appeared in last Wednesday's
Herald, descriptive of the CANYON Drive" the i'm
mediate improvement of which has just been de-
cided upon by the properly constituted authorities
ties:
From this point the boulevard follows the east
side of the canyon, rising almost mperceptiblv.
winding In and out with the irregularities of the
side OF the canyon and giving an endless variety of
scenery Where the drive leaves the CANYON and
turns east at Eleventh street scene is spread ont
at the feet of the beholder that has few EQUALS in
America. Inspiration Point this spot has been
named by Engineer A. F. Doremus. The name is
appropriate, II there is poetry in mans soul it
must burst forth when scenes such as this break
upon the vision. Some cities have lake drives
others have mountain drives still Others have drives
through beautiful streets and parks lined with
trees. Here all these and much more are combined
OH to the right is the lake in blaze of molten
glory; little farther around the circle are the mod
est Oqurrh hills buried in dreamy haze. the ma
tural background for valley of entrancing beautv
Swinging still farther TO, the left are the Wasa+ob
mountains with all their moods with colors tbo+
are the despair OF the artists, with fresh green YER
dure at their base and glitterng snow for a crown
Between these outposts of lake and mountains
the valley and city lie like checker board of Gods
own making. The largest buildings are as chill
drens blocks; the tallest poplars are but waving
plgmy plumes. The wonderful possibilities Of val
ley city, mountain and lake are driven in upon the
consciousness sealing the lip and causing the eve
to glisten"
