Mrs. J. T. Eichborg and another

eightesn years of his life and a large

to establish general use of American
foodstuffs in Europe, is eudeavoring
now to secure the assistance of the
corn states to help him carry on bis

This would help not only them, but
the American farmers. for it is a mat

corn raisers that they Fl Id an outlet
for the surplus, otherwise the price
will drop to such a figure as will not
pay the farmers to raise it, as was the
case 10 1888.
Il also wish to say that the amount
of corn that will go through the Pan
anna canal when open will astonish the
world. I do not believe the men who
projected that waterway even dreamed
that the greater part of the freight
that will 60 through the canal will be
corn, and that it can be landed in
China in thirty days from the time of
leaving Galveston and New ORLEANS.

CHINA and Japan asking them If it
would be feasible to try to intr oduce
corn as substitute for rice in those
countries, and they assure me that
those people will eat anything that
will sustain life so long as it is cheap.
with the financial backing of the
corn states-I place Illinois anG Iowa
first in the list, then Indiana, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio-I feel
sure of our su cess. If corn meal is
sent to the Jap pese fam inc sufferes

MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENINGS
ITEMS OFINTEREST FROM
ALL SECTIONS
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From the Important Hap
penings Throughout the State
During the Past Week and Re-
viewed in Brief.
Carnegie Library.

There will be a Carnegie library in
Mississippi after all, and the securing
thereof is due to the efforts and spirit
of Bishop Charles B. Galloway, OF
the Methodist Church, and others, no
tably Major R. w. Millsaps. Bishop
Galloway has returned from trip
to Washington and Baltimore, and
while in the north had an interview
with Andrew Carnegie, with whom
he had been in correspondence rela-
tive to securing his interest to estab-
lsh a library in connection with Mill
sap's college in Jackson. The steel
magnate and philanthropist took kind
ly to the idea and intimated that he
would give a donation of $4,000 to
the building fund. The only condi-
ton that he imposed was that the
friends of the college guarantee like
amount for endowment and equip
ment. Bishop Galloway departed for
home shortly afterwards, and in the
meantime had communicated the pro
position of Mr.. Carnegie to friends
here. On his return last night it was
found that Mr.. Millsaps had conclud-
ed arrangements to secure the home
subscription to meet the magnate s Of
fer. AS matter Of fact the founder
of Millsap's will give the required
amount out of his own pocket. The
money being secured the practical de-
tails alone remain to be worked out.
and this will not take long in the -ac-
complishment, and, before many
months, it is predicted the faculty
and students of Mississippi's noted
private educational institution will
be reveling in the delights of a mod
ern library building in the Carnegie
annex to the college.

NICK'S RELATIVE POISONED
A Poisoning Case in Illinois Tankles
Up Notables.

Chicago, H., March 25.-Mrs. Will
liam Anderson, who was slain by
strychnine mysteriously placed in a
cake in her home, near st. Charles,
was a relative of Congressman Mich
las Longworth, husband of President
Roosevelt's daughter Alice, accord
ing to the statement Of William An
derson, the widower. Mrs. Anderson s
maiden name was Longworth. Her
mother, Mrs. Richard Sims, was twice
married, her first husband being a
brother Of Nicholas Longworth s faith
er.
Officials of Lake County and Chi
cago are working to solve the mystery
surrounding the death of Mrs. Ander-
son, who expired in convulsions after
eating piece of cake. A theory held
by the Lake County officials is that
styrchnine was placed in the cake by
maniac, man only recently dis
charged from the Northern Illinois
Insane Asylum and employed on the
Anderson farm. A vial Of strychnine
was found in the house where the wo-
man died, one third of the supposedly
original contents being missing.
Robert Anderson, .brother-in-law of
Mrs. Anderson. admitted purchasing
the poison to kill rats. The Coroner S
inquest was continued, awaiting an
examination Of the remainder of the
cake by Chicago chemists.
Mrs. Anderson was an unusually
handsome woman. Her husband is
wealthy.

Two Suits for $4,000.

Two suits for damages, aggregating
$4,000, were filed in the Circuit court
at Vicksburg against the Y. & M. V.
railroad. In his declaration Martin
Hardiman asserts that while employ
ed by the defendant railroad company
as brakeman the conductor and flag
man assaulted him and after beating
him into insensibility threw him from
the the train. He asks the court to
give him 100000 Alleging that while
he was a passenger on one of the de-
fendant's trains he was assaulted and
badly injured by other passengers,
Oscar Finley sues for $4,000. Fin
ney's declaration alleges that the
train crew made no effort to protect
him from violence.

Europe takes two-thirds of the ex-
ports of the United States and sup
plies practically one-half the imports,
says a bulletin issued by the depart
ment of commerce and labor. OF the
81, ,021 100000 worth Of merchandise
sent to Europe in 1905, $239, 900, 900
worth was manufacturers, the other
$4,000, 900 worth being largely food
stuffs, and manufactured materials.
In 1900 the exports to Europe cross
ed the billion dollar line, and since
then have averaged about 81 $50, ,000,-
900 per annum. In 1900 the exports
to all sections Of the world other than
Europe were 1854, 100000 in value, in
1905 they were $49S,O00,00O, the
growth since 1900 in export to nom
European countries having been pro-
portionately greater than that to Eu-
rope. Prior to 1890, the share of the
imports drawn from Europe averaged
about 80 per cent; in 1905 it was
S4.4 per cent. This reduction, the
bulletin says, is apparently account
ed for by the growing demand in the
United States for tropical products
which are supplied almost exclusive
ly by the other grand divisions Of
the world.
The value of these products brought
into the United States in 1905 was
$50S,0OO,0OO, against 1903, 100000 in
1895.

Miss Pace Appeals.

The state board of education held
a meeting to consider tn eappeal of
Miss Carrie Pace, school teacher of
Neoshoba county, who has been re-
fused a license to teach by County
Superintendent Hit of that county.
The superintendent charges that Miss
Pace gave and received aid during
the county examination Of teachers,
In violation of law, and she appeals
to the state board to grant her "a Ii
cense. Miss Pace denies emphatical-
ly the charges and asks that an inves-
tigation be made. The board has,
therefore, ordered an investigation to
take place at Philadelphia on Satur-
day morning at 10 o clock, March 81,
at the county court house, and mott
fies all parties to be present with
their witnesses on that date. The case
has caused much local interest as the
parties are we'll known and popular.

SON CHASES MOTHER.
Found Her Hobnobbing With Strang-
erS on Side Street.

Upper Sandusky, Ohio, March 20
New evidence was brought to light
yesterday during the cross examina-
ton Of ex-Prosecutor Meek, the de-
fendant in the Stutz suit for $4,000
damages He admitted that the night
following the episode at his home, and
the night following the horsewhipping
he and Mrs. Stutz were together on a
side street, and that Mrs. Stutz was
chased home by his son Lehr with a
revolver. He denied that he also was
chased, but later said When we were
chased.
Brown Hare, from whose hardware
store Mrs. Stutz procured the whip
with which she whipped Meek, de-
scribed the whipping and said Mayor
Gibson was a witness and shouted to
Stutz to "give it to him." The May
or also told constable who took hold
Of Stutz to let him go.
P. D. Hale, a newspaper man, saw
Mrs. Stutz the morning OF the whip
ping. She said to him. "Ben Meek
is dirty cur, l am going to whip him
within an inch of his life if he does
not leave me alone, please deliver this
message to him." A brother of the
plaintiff stated that he persuaded Mrs.
Stutz not to carry out her intentions.
At s 'clock, after the arguments,
court adjourned until tomorrow, when
the jury will be charged. The special
feature of the arguments was the
charge of the defense that the suit is
a malicious one for political purposes,
on account of Meek s candidacy for
Common Pleas Judge.

Secretary Bonapart appeared be-
fore the house committee on naval af-
fairs in support of an increase of the
navy. He advocated the appropria-
tion this year for two 16,000-ton bat
tleships, and in case congress does not
see fit to provide for two such ships,
he urged the construction of one
19,400-ton battleship. In this recon-
mendation he surpassed Admiral Dew
ey who surprised the committee by adj
vocating 1S,000.ton battleships after
the type of the English battleship,
Dreadnaught.
Two scout cruisers were recommen-
ded but he said to the committee that
they were not indispensable. He ad-
vocated the building of four destroy
ers at a cost Of $3,000,000; two sub
marines costing 100000; one gum
boat costing 100000 and two river
gunboats at cost of 100000.
The secretary's estimate for con-
struction aggregated $23,O0O,0OO, the
chief item being $15,000,000 for the
two battleships recommended.

President Roosevelt submitted
message to the house vetoing a bill
passed by congress for the creation Of
the Western Judicial district of Tex
as. The proposed division was to con-
stitute the counties Of Uvalde, laval
la, Maverick, Kinney, Val Verde, Ter
rell and Pecos, and the bill provides
that term Of United States courts
should be held twice each year at
the town of Del Rio.
In his veto the president says that
the proposed division does not have
enough cases to justify its establish
ment. In five years, he says, there
have been but sixty-four criminal and
twenty-six civil cases originating in
the seven counties. Del Rio is de-
scribed as a small place in a sparsely
settled portion of the country and
the veto says as most of the cases
have originated in Maverick county.
this would be more reason for holding
court at Eagle Pass.
