Now comes a man for this exalt-
ed position who has succeeded in
law. in planting and in mercantile
pursuits as well as In the manage
meut of large affairs Of almost ev-
cry nature. This man has not only
achieved signal success in every
way, and has not only met all of
his obligations, but absolutely
broke all records a few years ago
by making good to ali depositors Of
the Rosedale Bank the full valueof
their deposits with interest, al
though he was under no personal
or business obligation. legal or
moral, to do so. He assumed the
debts and obligations of the bank
and pledged his faith 10 redeem
them as speedily as possible he
not only gave his own property to
raise the necessary funds, but gave
the profits of his individual labor
and gave with the consent of his
wife. her property holdings. While
there are numbers throughout the
state who are rejoicing that they
will have the privilege Of support
ing such a candidate, there are a
few who say that he owns too much
property to be governor of the state
and that he has no sympathy with
the plain toiling masses But these
reckon without their host and with
out knowledge of the true character
Of the man they gratuitousIy mis-
represent.
When Charles Scott of Rosedale
left bis home in Jackson to enlist
in the grand army Of Confederate
patriots he was only lad OF fifteen
years. He received his parol at
Gainesville, Ala, when General
Forest bowed to the Inevitable and
gave mp his sword.
From Gainesville he made his
way with the survivors of bis com
mand to his native state and began
life without a penny Of his own, as
clerk in store IN Washington

up large practice. avoiding the
practice of criminal law at all times

He has been successful beyond

with ny friend. Mr.. A. T. Mont
gomery. I can only repeat my ex-
preston OF regret at being unable
to share his bright anticipations.
Mr.. McCee's picture Of the situa-
ton IN Mississippi is SO painful
that its reproduction in the Reveille
| Is justi6abIe only on the ground
that some of our landholders may
possibly be aroused thereby to the
importance OF guarding their fields
more carefully against the ravages
of storm wash Should It have
that effect, even in slight degree,
its publication would be amply jns-
tilted.
The geologist Is not. as Mr.
Montgomery intimates, mere the
orist. nor may we lightly disregard
his teachings Instead of being
simply closet-student, much OF
his education comes from studying
natures process IN actual "held-
work" over wide areas and in many
different localities He thus brings
to the Interpretation OF natural phe-
nomena highly trained powers Of
observation, great ulness OF special
knowledge ana breadth OF we"
possessed by students III few other
departments OF science. OF all men,
geologists should be most capable
of understanding the significance
OF that action upon the eaTth's sur
face which he calls erosion.
Mr.. Montgomery says that The
prophecies OF all eeologists are not
always fulfilled. That Is true,
but reference to the Reveille OF
March Sth VIII show that no proph-
ecies whatever were made by Mr..
McGee, the only one OF the author
tiles quoted whose remarks apply
directly to Mississippi Ny extract
from his report contained nothing
at all IN the nature OF prediction
he confined hinsSeh to describing
what he saw.
Though / do mot understand what
bearing railroads. have upon the
matter under discussion, It may be
remarked that the census does not
sustain Mr. Montgomery ; estimate
that before the Y. & NJ V. K r.
penetrated Claiborne county our
"average cotton crop was between
5000 and 1000 bales. Now. It Is IN
the neighborhocd OF 20. 600. Ac-
cording to the census OF 80. our
crop IN '7o was 1888 bales ; ac-
cording to the census OF 90. the
crop in 80 was I7,437 bales. As
the railroad was constructed be-
tween these dates, It does not seem
to have had any effect upon the
production Of cotton.
But Whatever our differences OF
opinion in regard to the outlook IN
Mississippi. we can both endorse
the following extract from Shalers s
treatise on the "Origin and Nature
of Soils !"
This part Of the earth, which at
first sight seems TO be a mere mess
OF ruin and abasement, is really a

Efficacy Plus Prayer.

Ethel, one of New Hampshire's
seven-year- daughters, is devoted to
the birds. She was enraged at her
older brother, whose keenest enjoy
ment seemed to be to trap them. She
pleaded with him and scolded him, bur
all to no effect. So Ethel took a new
tack.
When prayer time came the other
evening her mother heard this final
petition added to those which dealt
directly with the spiritual and ma
terial welfare of the family: An,
dear God, please smash all Willie's
nasty traps, for Jesus sake, amen"

Judge Pages Lost Coat.

Judge Calvin Page, of Portsmouth,
a leading member of the New Hamp-
shire bar, has been prominent in New
Hampshire politics for number o!
years. A few years ago he was sit
ting in the rotunda of the Eagle hotel
in Concord earnestly discussing the
political situation with some friends.
He had a very nice new overcoat,
which he carefully placed upon the
chair underneath him. Becoming in
terested in the conversation, he paid
no further attention to the coat.
A stranger standing near noticed
that the Judge was very much alb
sorbed, and, walking up to him, placed
his hand on his shoulder and said:
Excuse me, sir, but you are sitting on
my coat"
The judge promptly arose and apol-
ogized, allowing the man to walk OF
with his coat
When the conversation was finished
and the judge looked for his coat, his
remarks were rather emphatic.-Bos.

SOME MODERN SUN DlALS.
Made of Bronze and Brass and Cost
from Twenty to One Hun
dred Dollars.

The brass plates OF the sun dials are
engraved to suit the purchaser or they
may be bought already marked with
the figures ard a simple motto, Says
Harper's Bazaar.
These may be had for about SIS.
They are of heavy brass or bronze,
about IS inches in diameter, and the
gnomon is set at the necessary lati-
tude Additional inscriptions may be
added at additional cost.
Pedestals made of stone, marble or
cement, especially recommended TO en-
dure the changes in temperature pc
culiar to this climate, cost from $40
to 500. They are modelled upon the
pedestals of the English and Italian
gardens, in the form of Ionic or By
zantine pillars, with or without cary
ing.
There are vase forms and there are
square or round pillars, surrounded
with sculptired figures. The most at
tractive are the simple square pillars,
beautiful on account of their perfect
proportions.
One of these pillars, together with
the brass dial plate, will cost about
$50, although the price may go as high
as 500 if either the engraving on the
brass or the cutting on the stone is
elaborate. Dials are frequently mount
ed on old tree trunks, upon mounds of
stone, or possibly upon a bowlder or
a piece of stone or wood taken from
a building having historic or personal
associations.

There are a thousand little things to
consider in building a house, and a
fruit cellar is one OF them. BY set.
ting of the part of this cellar that
comes under the parlor it may be
made cold enough to keep apples all
winter. Apples will not keep in a
warm cellar. The best temperature
is 33 degrees, but of course that can
not be maintained in any cellar, but
this plan offers as good an arrange
ment for fruit as it is possible to get
without artificial refrigeration.
The arrangement of chimneys pro-
vides an easy means of heating the
house with stoves, If stoves are pre-
ferred. The front chimney also offers
a splendid opportunity for corner

out tying up a great deal of money.
II you use good material and keep

RETAIN PRIMEvAL IDEAS.
Indians Are Not Free with Informa
ton to Agents of the Gov
eminent.

Alexander Posey, the Creek clerk in
the Dawes commission, who works for
the government among the full-bloods,
runs across some interesting characters
among the Indians, some of whom live
far from towns, speak their own Ian
guage, seldom get out of their own
neighborhood and still have faith in
the treaties of the government with the
Indians.
One of these is Artus Hotiya, who
cannot speak English. The other day
Mr.. Posey went to Hotiya's place to
get information concerning child
of Hotiya who had died. In reply to
questions Hotiya answered:
"You crossed the Wewoka creek this
morning? 1t is spring and the water
runs; you see the green grass on the
prairies; the grass still grows. Our
people have agreed that so long as water
runs and grass grows, we shall not nave
our lands divided nor our governments
supplanted. | am not yet ready TO give
information"
This speech was made in Creek and
represents the dignity and faith or the
old class of Indians who still resent the
government allotment of lands. When
il was explained to him that all the in
formation wanted was such as would
make possible an allotment for his
child, he replied
God has given her an allotment in
the graveyard. She is dead. The al
lotment there is all that she is entitled
to. A grave is all the allotment that
am entitled to and all that God intended
that should have. 1t is enough. The
Great Father placed the Pacific on one
side and the Atlantic on the other, and
the land between he gave TO the Indian.
THE white man came and he set cor
ner stones and told the Indian that he
must live between these. The Indian
cannot live so. He Is being stified by
the white man, who has disarmed him
Of his bow and arrow and driven from
the forests the game. The end of the
Indian is near, but / am not yet ready
to contribute to Fastening 1t"

With Irritating Skin Humor-WhoIe

Out-WonderfuI Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES

81 am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since I tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. l did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then I began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that Were-recommended for
skin humors; but l became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Espe-
cially at night, just as soon as would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before I could not rest night or day.
a friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and I did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks would take hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and I kept getting better, and by the
time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but / continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dam
druff out and scalp is always clean. I
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. I will never be
without it." d. E. Blankenship, VIZ

The Forum is even carrying politics
into bean stories. At some length it
dilates upon the medals received by
Mayor Wall of Fargo for some beans
that he did not raise and tells an in
teresting story of how it happened,
but fails to give Mayor George Duis
of Grand Forks equal credit. The
fact of the matter is that the presence
of Mayor Duis at the st. Louis ex-
position prompted one of the state
employees from Bismarck to note his
presence by tagging jar of beans in
his honor, and in order that there
might be no jealousy on the part of
Fargo's mayor another jar was dug
up, filled from the same bag and
tagged with Wallis name. They were
wise judges-or perhaps were put
wise-and consequently both execu-
tives received medals. Probably Duis
jar got lost in the shuttle at Portland
and Wall got credit there for the
whole beanery. This being an i'm
portant matter the Tribune hastens to
get it Strengthened out lest another
crime be charged up to "the old
gang" N. B. The beans were
bought in st. Louis.
