The Natchez Tragedy

A sensational development took
place in the Goldstein wife murder
rase at N&tehez when Mrs. HI. Lapen-
clcwitz of Chicago, sister of Gold
stseln, who was here on visit when
the tragedy occurred, was placed un-
der arrest to be held as an important
witness in the case Mrs. Lapenclo-
witz stated to some friends as she was
preparing to leave Oil the train for
her home in Chicago that she was an
eyewitness to the stabbing which
caused her sister-in-law death. She
said that while sitting at the supper
table on Monday night, Mr. and Mrs.
Goldsdtein became involved in vio-
lent quarrel over the mistreatment of
their eldest daughter by Goldstein,
when he attacked his wife with a chair.
She grappled with him and wrested
the chair from his grasp. He then
seized a breadknife that was lying
Oh the table and plunged it iato the
mOman's IS left side, the wound causing
internal hemorrhage, producing death
last Tuesday morning. The prelimi-
nary examination will probably be
held some day next week.

New Industry Developed.

Washington.-In the manufacture
of alcohol from corn cdbs and corn
stalks at small cost, the department
of agriculture is developing a new in
dustry that the department says is
likely to be Of large commercial value.
Investigations, which the department
says is likely to be of large CONNER
cial value. Investigations, which the
department is making at Hoopeston,
Ill, have proved that the large guam
titles of corn cobs, which every year
heretofore have gone to waste, can be
converted into alcohol IN sufficient
quantities to justify the erection of a
distilling plant in connection with a
corn cannery.
The department Of agriculture sent
two chemists to Hoopeston to make
experiments at large cannery there.
They have succeeded by simple meth
DDS of fermentation in getting yield
of eleven gallons of alcohol from 4
ton Of green cobs and by similar meth
DDS il getting six gallons of alcohol
from ton of green corn stalks.

people surging about the stand erect

been hurriedly unveiled by Mrs. Long

The prompt action of the commit

most fortunate, for the crowd was be-

women and children, who were caught
in the crush, was rapidly working the
crowd into a frenzy. Many women
tainted and were carried out of the
crowd by the police.

HAPPENINGS
ITENS NSCFINTEREST FROM
ALL SECTIONS.
An EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Cuiled From Important Happenings
Throughout the State During the
Past Week and Reviewed In Brief
For Our Readers.
Progressive vicksburg.

Astonishing indeed has been the
progress of Xicksburg within the last
twelve months. 1t is doubtful if any
city of its size in the South has seen
more substantial development thal has
taken place here in this historic town
which lies at the confluence of those
two great rivers, the Yazoo and the
Mississippi. There has been no rapid
rise in property values. The progress
of the city has rather been like the
gradual increase of some great bust
ness, which increases the size of its
plant from year to year. But the signs
of development have been apparent to
all. The sound of the saw and the ham
mer has been heard on every street.
Hundreds Of residences have been
erected in the city, and in the bust
ness, section many handsome struc-
lures are rearing their heads to the
sky. The new National Park Addition
will soon be thickly settled.
The present trend of public senti-
ment justihes the assertion that within
a few years practically all the streets
of the city will be paved. Already a
contract has been let for the paving
Of the city's main thoroughfare and
petitions are out, and rapidly receiv-
ing signatures, for the paving of the
other principal streets of the city.
Among the public improvements in
contemplation are new waterworks
sys,em, several electric car lines, a
modern sewerage system and d number
Of city parks.
Business in all lines is increasing,
and the wholesale and retail merchants
are extending the city's trade into
new territory. The railroad and steam
boat tonnage reports show a decided
increase In the amount of freight han
died at this point, the postoffiee re-
ceipts have increased steadily, the
county assessors report shows a gain
Of about $2,0O0,000 in the taxable
values of the county and nearly all of
this increase is on property within the
limits Of the city. Lastly the bank
statements show the remarkable pros
perity of the community
Vieksburg is awake and is today the
most progressive city in Mississippi.
When all the adjacent territory which
is really a part of her is taken within
the city limits she will show popu-
alton many thousands i'll excess of
any municipality In the state.
For years the city reclined OH the
banks Of the great Father of Waters
and basking in the sunshine OF the
commerce of that stream became, as
the boy who was raised up to have
everything he wanted, absolutely lazy
and careless. The other cities were the
poor boys who had to struggle for
living. They were on the alert for
trade and additional population. When
The railroads began to pierce the coun-
try and the commerce of the water
ways began to wane they seized their
opportunity. But Vieksburg has awak-
ened from its dream OF security and
the boy raised with the golden spoon
IS now ia the race OF progress and will
never be headed.
