Contractors and builders in Jack
son are very much interested in the
discovery Of fine veil of hard lime
stone near Raymond, In the southern
part Of Kinds county, and the ma
.erial will doubtless come into general
use for building work in this city. The
vein of stone was found on tract
of land owned by Mr.. Graeme Thomp-
son, SON of the late Bishop Hugh
Miller Thompson, and is said to be
well nigh inexhaustible in quantity.

Fire Losses.

The fire insurance companies OPP
Grating in the state are congratulating
themselves over the comparatively
small losses that have been incurred
during the first six months Of the
present year. During the years 1904
and 1905 the fire companies suffered
very heavily in Mississippi. Since the
first of January, however, there have
been very few fires Of large proper
tions, the most destructive blaze be-
ing the compress fire in this city IN
February, and the marine companies
were the heaviest losers in that, hay-
ing blanket policies on the cotton own
ed by large buyers.

D GRADY WILL GET
FINE POSITION.
Ex-Police Commissioner
to Be Named Assistant
to Board of Supervisors
SALARY is LARGE

Former Police Commissioner Alex
ander O'Grady was to have received a
fne position from the Board Of Su-
pervisors yesterday, but owing to the
long time taken by the board sitting as
a Board of Equalization to wind up it's
action on the assessemnt roll the mat
ter was postponed until tomorrow aft
ernoon.
OGrady is to be named as an assist
ant to the board to revise the municipal
ordinances at the handsome salary Of
$3.50 a month, which is an increase of
$3.50 a month over what he received as
Police Commissioners. AS the sum of
$1,000 was expended by a previous
board to nave the ordinance revised
the work is considered expensive.
OGrady, however. will be directed by
a resolution, also to be adopted to-
morrow, to represent the board as at
terney in all title suits that affect
lands owned by the city.
A coincidence in connection with
O'Grady's prospective appointment is
that William A. Hegarty, "a former as
sistant clerk to the Board of Super
visors. was recently appointed Police
Commissioner just after the shakeup
on the Police Comnaission. 0'Grady
and Hegarty practically exchange
places. though Hegarty lost $50 a
month and O'Gra6y gains $3.50 monthly

HICKEY FAMILY ROW
NOW IN COURT.
Charge Made That Son
Used Force on His
Father to Get Property
ASK. ACCOUNTING

William J. Hickey and Kate o'Don-
nell, children of John T. Hickey. COM
.nenced suit yesterday In the Superior
Court against their brother, Thomas
Hickey. to have the assignment of a
$4,000 insurance policy in the A. O.. L.
w to the defendant set aside and to
require the Grand Lodge to recognize
all three as beneficiaries OF the estate.
1t is alleged that Thomas used force
TO compel his father to name him as
beneficiary
This is not the first indication of
trouble in the Hickey family Some
time ago a complaint was filed in
which it was alleged that Thomas
Hickey had sold the livery stable be-
longing to his father for $4,000 and
had failed to make an accounting
In the present action the plaintiff
set forth that their father was insured
in the A. O. U. w and that his wife
Elizabeth was named as beneficiary.
Subsequently Mrs Hickey died and the
plaintiffs alleged that no other bene-
ficiary was named save through the
intimidation of Thomas. -,
IT is asserted that for two years
prior to his death John F. Hickey was
sick in body and impaired in health
and that Thomas resided with him and
compelled him, by violence threatened
and actually applied, to consent to
certain transfers of his property and
rights.
The A. O. L. ". is not disputing the
claim for $4,000, but refuses to pay
over the money until it is determined
through the courts who should re-
ceiVe it.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider
ADVERTISEMENTS.

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backacf Z, irregular
and painful periods. displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation In the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable ia preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THTRp.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission. give alb.
solute evidence of the value OF Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham and for
twenty Eve years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Outot
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish If she does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

His Speech on the Railroad Bill

No man in the United States senate

magnificent a record as Senator Rob.

from the lips of any statesman in re-

peer OF any address denvered in the

much; but it was far more than that.
1t was instinct with the spirit of JUS

His great address on the railway

things which marked his maiden et.

matter of concern, that one man may
drop out, the chief concern is that
the great mass OF men shall be true
to themselves. You men are miners,
your fathers we're miners before you
your children will be miners and their

evolve from workers into capitalists
as caterpillar evolves into a butter
fly; from poverty to wealth as a bo?
to man. Here and there Is one who
will rise above his fellows and achieve
fame and perhaps fortune.
But 1t is not for the one that we
struggle. 1t is that the great mass
may be elevated. 1t is better that
the mass be raised a great deal. Our

selves as that the masses may be

we have received little more of the
