Oil Struck at Barnet.

That Eastern Mississippi is underlaid
with deposits Of oil and natural gas Of
unlimited extent, and that this section
is on the verge of boom such as
brought the Beauusnt fields into sud
den notoriety a few years ago, is no
longer a dream in the minds of the pros
peetors and Missionaries, but is about to
be realized. Oil has been found at Bar
net in such quantities as to Justify the
Gaping of the pipes, the stock of the
prospecting company has been with
drawn from the market and the boom
ers who have heard of the discoveries
are flocking to the little town so as to
be on the ground floor of the boom.
Barnet is on the line of the New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad, fifty
six miles north of Hattiesburg. The
developing concern is known as the
Barnet Mineral and Oil Investment
Company. 1t has been at work for about
year, in a quiet way Several wells
have been put down, and the last one
has reached a depth of $50 feet The
oil is said to be of better quality than
lhat which has been found in the fields

court in jefferson City reversed Friday
the action of the ST. Louis county cir
cult court in appointing Fred Essen re
ceiver for the S2.5OO,0OO Peoples Unit

An opinion defining The scope Of the
decision will not be handed down for

can not continue the operation Of a
bank without obtaining a new charter
and starting anew.

Suit Compromised.

The suit of the town Of Maben against
the Mobile, jackson and Kansas City
Railway Company has been compro-
missed The town of Maben sought by
this suit to compel the railway company
to build its road on a certain line, leay-
ing out the town of Mathiston, through
which latter town the original survey
and line had been located, and also de-
manding damages in the sum Of $4,000
and the sum of $4,000 expended for
right Of way. The town Of Mabon con-
tended that the railway company had
entered into a contract by which il
agreed to build the road 10 Mabcn,
leaving out Nathiston, Maben agreeing
to pay the railway company $4,000 for
so doing. The railway company con-
structed its road by both Mathislon
and Maben. The case was compromised
by the railway company releasing the
town Of Maben from the $4,000 dona-
tion, and the town Of Naben releasing
the railway company from all damages
sustained and from all amounts cX-
pended on account Of right of way and
paying cost Of suit.

BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY

ization trial, off Rockland, that an av.
erage revolution Of her propellers Of

drive the 1j,OOO-ton battleship through

revolutions per minute reached
126.297, and from these figures the
trial board announced that she had
made an average Of 1918 knots an
hour, compared with 1901 made by
the Rhode Island and 1900 by the

few months ago.
At one time the New jerseys speed

HAILED WITH SATISFACTION
FRENCH PRESS AND PUBLIC ARE
WELL PLEASED.
While France Did Not Secure All She
Wanted at AIgeciras, Her Degree
of Success is Considered Fair.

Paris.-The agreement reached at
Algeciras is hailed with satisfaction by
officials and by the public press, which
is weary of the prolonged controversy
and the disturbing possibilities Of war.
The view in official circles is that
France secures a fair degree Of success
on the principal questions relating to
the police and state bank However, it
is recognized that neither France nor
Germany has secured all that was
wanted. Frances desire to have con-
troll of the police was partially realized
in her being allowed to police the i'm
Dortant Atlantic ports including Moga
dor, which Germany was suspected as
coveting, and also with her ally, Spain,
to police Tangier and Casa Blanca.
On the other hand it is thought that
Germany's desire to internationalize
Morocco was partly realized as the
Franco-Spanish police is subordinated
TO an inspector who will report TO the
diplomatic corps Thus both countries,
in measure, were successful, but each
is so safeguarded that neither will be
able to claim a victory. Frances pa
ciic penetration Of Morocco, it is
thought, is remotely postponed, as it
is likewise to the cream Of the vast
northwest African empire. Aside from
the details Of the great achievement,
the officials consider that the agree
ment between France and Germany as
sures the preservation of the peace of
Europe.
