BLIND TIGERS FAR
 FROM BEING DEAD
Mississippi Law Does not Prevent Sending Money and Getting Wet
 Goods by Express.

Jackson, Miss. May 2.-(Special)-The American Express company has paid into the state treasury the sum charged against it for the privilege of doing bus mess in Mississippi amounting to 2750.50 It declined, however, to pay the $5ooo required of those companies that may be tempted to do C. O. D. business, and it seems that such action would settle the matter for once and for all. The de- cision of the federal court at Kansas City yesterday was a knockout blow to the blind tigers of Mississippi, but they will soon rally. There Is nothing to pre- vent any man or woman sending the cash for the prepayment of whisky and getting it, and that is what they are doing here and no doubt elsewhere over the state. Any number of negro women may be seen in the express offices in Jackson every day, and 1t is supposed they are purchasing money orders, or that they are paying the express on goods already ordered
 The blind tiger business Is one that will not down in the state of Mississippi It is safe to say that there are one hundred places in the single city of Jackson where beer or whisky may be purchased at prices varying from 15 cents to S1.

 AMONG THE HORSES

 North of Jackson.

Jackson, Miss, May Special.)-That dread disease, charbon, is reported to have broken out in Rankin county, and one of Jackson's veterinarians has been called to the northern portion of that county to help the farmers fight the ani- nal scourge The disease is said to be worst in tho vicinity of Fannin and Gosken Springs-in fact all along Pearl river north of the city of Jackson, where the gnats are said to have been ferocious of late. The farmers to the north of Jackson are, to a considerable extent of the class known as one-horse, most of them producing from five to dozen bales of cotton,and owning few head of mules and blow stock.
