In Nagold, Black Forest, Germany,
Thursday, fifty-two persons were kill

The building had not been fully
completed, and the catastrophe is at
tributed to the non-observance OF
proper precautions. The roof OF the
building had only been put in place
Thursday morning, an event which, in
accordance with German custom, was
celebrated by a feast.
The guests were reported to have
engaged in dance, and this, together
with the large number OF persons on
the floor, probably was what caused
the building to collapse.
There were two hundred persons
present, most of whom were buried in
the ruins. At 10 o'clock Thursday
night fifty-two dead bodies had been
recovered and one hundred injured
were taken from the ruins, many OF
them in a serious condition. Twenty
persons still are missing.
The accident is attributed to care

Wealthy Merchant Missing.

San Antonio, Tex.-Sheriff John w.
Tobin and a private detective are
searching for a wealthy merchant of
Missouri, who has been gone since
Sunday afternoon, when he disappear
ed mysteriously at Hot Wells. Clar-
ence NJ Stark is the name of the miss
ing visitor. lie and his wife came to
this city three months ago for their
health.
Last Sunday afternoon the couple
decided to take a trip to Hot Wells,
and about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
while Mr.. Stark and his wife were
sitting on the gallery of the bath
house, Mr.. Stark said he was going
in to take a swim in the pool. Mrs
Stark agreed to wait for him on the
gallery. In about twenty minutes she
went inside and saw nothing of him.
Late that afternoon she began a
search, thinking he was probably lost
somewhere about the grounds. Then
she questioned the clerks and learned
that Mr.. Starks had bought bathing
suit, and that he did not go into the
pool
The only probably theory advanced
by the officers who are conducting
the search is that Mr.. Stark wandered
off in the brush back of Hot Wells
and became lost. Mrs. Stark says he
had little money on his person when
he disappeared.

Fe railroad, to recover $4,000 which
she lost through buying railroad stocks
came up in the supreme court. Miss
Wallace says that some years ago Rein
hart published a statement showing
the financial condition of the railroad
and offering stock for sale. She bought
400 shares. The road became insolvent
a few weeks later, was sold and reor-
ganized, and the value of her stock
wiped out. The plaintiff sued and
her counsel got an order to examine
Reinhart before trial The defendant
refused to answer any questions on
the ground that it would incriminate
him.

The tax levy in Mississippi is ex-
ceedingly low when compared with
other states. Then we must take into
consideration the fact that taxes are
only community expense account,
and if the money is properly spent
the investment is generally good
one. If it is not properly expended
the people have only themselves to
blame.

A prominent Mississippian recent
~ referred to one of the wealthiest
men of the state as "our uncrowned
king" and he is being lambasted for
such reference. Said prominent cit
izen may not have been far wrong, al
though not on account of the man S
wealth but what he was doing with it.
Mississippi is full of uncrowned
kings and hundreds of them are work
ing land on the shares or engaged at
day labor. Wealth should never be
the pedestal upon which to set a
man above his fellow men, but rather
what he is doing to deserve the pfau-
dts of the people. The writer knows
personally men who own quarter
section of land, work it themselves,
wear a hickory shirt during the week
and are not only uncrowned kings
but good samaritans, and the whole
catechism of what man ought to be.
On the other hand, men of great
wealth are depressing the poor, doing
nothing for charity, church or any
thing else and are hardly fit to be
termed knaves. Let us hope that our
grand old state will never crown a
man because he has garnered large
unmber of dollars, and that, too, by
exceedingly questionable methods.
Every man is free and equal, guar
anteed by our Constitution and let
Mississippi be the last state in the
union to attempt to take away or add
thereto.

There are some several Mississip-
ians who are not satisfied to let we'll
enough alone. Two companies of en-
terprising citizens are engaged in the
attempt to make the bowels of the
earth yield up petroleum. At Barnett
near Hattiesburg there is claimed to
be something tangible to show for the
time and money expended. A nice
flow of crude oil is reported and the
well capped for fear of bringing in
9usher and blowing the derrick and
well tools into the air. At Money the
well has gone down some several hum
dred feet and hopes range high. Oper-
ations have been temporarily suspend
ed at Laurel and Enterprise, but will
likely be renewed during the spring.
1t is not at all improbable that rich
deposits of petroleum and gas may be
found by some of these prospecting
parties. The belt which contains this
mineral at some depth evidently pass
es through the state and it is quite
likely that it will be tapped if the hole
is made deep enough.

A member of the legislature in
writing to his home paper said that a
great number of the members had not
the ability or the inclination to do
good and sufficient service for the
people While this may be partially
true, the larger part of them have,
and some of those whom this particu-
lar member referred to, are likely
more efficient than he. Half dozen
members might block legislation and
cost the state thousands of dollars in
delay and loss Of time and at the same
time accomplish no good for their con
stitutients. A very good rule for the
people to OBJ erve in selecting legis-
lators is to pick men that you would
have manage the affairs of your coun-
ty or community 1t is pretty safe
to assume that if they could manage
smaller matters to an advantage, they
could also do good service for the
state.
