present appropriation Of $500, with
$1,000 of that held ont for emergency
purposes, and in his biennial report to
the legislature viii state that $4,000 is
the smallest sum that can be gotten
along On. 1t is one OF the conditions of
the Dick military bill under which the
national guards of the several states
are now operated, that the State en-
campments must he held every sum.
mer, That was not done in this State
last year, for reasons that are well
known, though every preparation was
made to hold II near Gulfport. II ia
possible Gen. Fridge will have some
trouble in getting his pro rata from the
United States government next year,
for this reason.

the public roads by taxation, or work

in which the people living in the rural

Good progress is being made on the
proposed electric line from Jackson to
Clinton, and it is believed that it Is GO
ing to be successfully financed and
pushed to completion during the next
few months. In the event the road Is
built to Clinton, which is a great col

on further west, to Vicksburg, and
probably to Raymond and COoper's

Oyster Commission.

/ call your attention to the report OF
the Oyster Commission and invoke your
immediate consideration of he question
Of ~reimbursing the banks Of BILOXI,
from whom We borrowed the necessary
funds to pay the expenses Of the oyster
Commission. The Legislature, under a
misapprchensiOn with reference TO the
law, failed to make an appropriation
at the last session. And as there was
no money available 1t became ncces-
sary to borrow 1t from private tnstltu-
tons. The fees collected by the COM
mission have been turned intO the
. treasury and the report shows that they
are largely in excess OF the amount dis
bursed by the commission for the past
two years. / trust you will make the
necessary appropriation at once

The Legislature, at it's last session.
failed to make an appropriation to pay
the necessary cost incident to the prop
er management OF the case now pend
ing in the Supreme Court Of the United
States to determine the boundary line
between the States of Louisiana ana
Mississippi, but with the use Of the TX
ecutiye contingent fund / managed to
keep the mill grinding. The question
involved in this controversy was or
such importance to the people Of the
State that / could not permit the states
interest to suffer on account of the
failure of the Legislature to provide for
the employment of attorneys to pre-
sent the States side Of the contro-
versy. / therefore employed the Hon.
Monroe McClurg, ex-Attorney General
Of Mississippi, and the Hon. Hannis

sent the State OF Mississippi, and
agreed with them that ! would recon-
mend the payment OF n fee Of $1,000,

Public Health and Quarantine.

The invasion Of the State by yellow
fever last ummer and the probable re-
currenCc of the disease next summer
renders it necessary for tn protection
of the people from this dread malady
that the Legislature should make some
changes in existing laws and ample
provision for the possible emergency.
l submit for your consideration the fol-
lowing suggestions:
FIrst-Invest the State Board Of
Health, or some similar organization,
with plenary power to regulate and
control by rules promulgated, all in
feeted localities.
Second-Empower the Governor, act
ing in conjunction with the health au-
thoritics. to use the State militia as
quarantine guards.
Third-Let the State bear all cx-
penses of maintaining the quarantine.
Fourth-As it requires active coop
GRAFTON of all practicing physicians in
the infected localities to fight success
fully the yellow fever, the State Board
of Health should be vested with au-
thority to revoke the license of any
praCticing physician who refuses to
obey and carry out the rules promul-
gated by the said Board of Health In
infected localities.
Fifth-There should be created an Of
flee TO be filed by an honest and cap
able man, learned in the science of
medicine, to be known as field officer
of the Board OF Health, who should be
paid a salary sufficient to command the
services OF a capable physician, and
whose duty IT should be, under the d.
rection of the State Board of Health, to
go to infected localities to take charge
of and inaugurate n campaign for the
determination of the disease. This Of

fever season to watch all tho southern

CHIEF QUANAH PARKER.

ker Of the Comanche tribe and Chief
Lone Wolf of the Kiowas are among
those who favor the sale of the lands.
The bill originally fixed $3.50 as the
minimum price for an acre in the sale,
but President Roosevelt refused to in
dorse it unless this minimum price
per acre was raised to So.
Chief Quanah Parker is one of the
most influential and progressive In
dams in the west His mother was
Cynthia Ann Parker, a white woman,
who was stolen as a child from her
parents. The story Of her capture, her
life among the Comanches, her mar
riage to a chief of the tribe, her recap
ture by the whites and her preference
for the people Of her adoption forms
one of the most romantic tales of the
early days of Texas. Chief Parker was
born about 1854. He has been a valiant
advocate of the rights of his fathers
race and has been talked of as a SEN
atOr from Oklahoma
The chief smokes his pipe Of peace

PITCHED GOOD BALL FOR VISIT

COULD NOT OVERCOME THE
LOCALS BIG LEAD.

Taking advantage of Clarks weak
ness, the Fairview team hammered
in five runs in the second inning Of
their game with Liberty yesterday, Sc
curing enough runs to make victory
certain. The final score was to 8.
The Liberty team was here not long
since and in a twelve inning con-
test defeated FairvieW, therefore the
victory yesterday was most welcome
one.
Fairview played a good game in the
field, being considerably strengthened
by Kelly at shortstop, who picked up
several mean grounders and other
wise played his position in a manner
to hold up the infield. WilcoXen
pitched good ball for FairvieW, but
Blair, who followed, did even better.
He did not allow a run and but two
hits in four innings. One OF the
features of the game was the fielding
game of O'Toole, in center field for
Liberty.
Next Sunday Fairview will play the
crack semi-professional team from

Those who would like to make cheese
on very small scale are often trou-
bIed to get proper rennet to produce
coagulation OF the milk. A scientist
says that If the leaves of the common
butterwort are placed in strainer and
the milk fresh from the COW is poured
over it the milk will soon become thick
and has d most delicious flavor. The
yellow bedstraw also possesses the
properties of curdllng milk, and the
natives of Cheshire prefer it as a rem
net to all other sorts. The leaves and
flowers are put In the strainer, and the
milk is slowly poured over them. The
flower heads of the garden artichoke
also possess the property of coaSulat-
ing milk. In view of the carelessness
sometimes noted In people who prepare
rennet in the ordinary fashion this
vegetable rennet is worthy of atten-
ton. The leaves, properly cleaned and
prepared, would be very much safer
and more nygienic than animal sub
stances which may go through chem
ical changes that unfit them for food.
