Bloody Battle.

A bloody battle occurred in Webster
county, near the Montgomery county
line. A quarrel arose between Sam
Hightower and Walter Cooper. After
some hot words had passed the trouble
was patched up and the two men made
friends. a few days later Hightower
passed Cooper's house, carrying a shot
gun. The trouble was renewed, where
upon Cooper drew his pistol and shot
Hightower twice. Hightower fred one
load from his gun into Cooper's body,
but Cooper did not fall. Hightower
fell to the ground, and Cooper, who had
a pistol and a shotgun, walked up and
emptied his shotgun into Hightower's
body. Jim Hightower, a son of Sam
heard the shooting and ran
the scene, and was shot and killed by
Cooper. Cooperwas mortally wounded.
Both families are prominent.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS
Deficit Seems Inevitable.

How to keep the penitentiary ex'
penses within the annual appropriation
of 100000 during the remainder of the
current year is the most serious problem
that the board of control has encoun
tered in many years. The legislature
made the annual prison appropriation
on a basis of 1,0a0 convicts, and before
the e9d of the year the actual prison
population will be 300 convicts in ex.
cess OF that number. These 800 pris-
oners, of course, must be provided for
out of the 5000, 900 appropriation, which
is none too large for the legislative
base of 1850 convicts. The State has
raised magnificent corn and cotton
crops on the convict plantations this
year, and the net prison profits will
probably be larger than ever before,
but it will be impossible for the board
to use any part of the funds derived
from the sale of crops for the support of
the institution.

DONkEYS TURN UP TOES.
Don't Know Enough to Get in Out
of the Rain.

The war department has learned
through experience that the American
donkey has not sense enough to live
in the Philippines.
Some time ago, more in the nature
Of an experiment than for any other
reason, the bureau Of insular affairs
sent a dozen American donkeys, com
monty known as "burros," to Manila
for use among the Spanish-speaking
people. The natives did not take
kindly to the new species, however,
but rather looked at them from afar
OF.
Seven died. Such was the news re-
ceived at the bureau recently. When
the torrential rains set in the little
animals were caught out in the open,
and not knowing how to shelter them
selves like the native beast of bur-
den, seven docile, dumb beasts turned
up their toes.
"They ought to die" said a war
department official who has a deep
interest in everything pertaining to
the Philippines; they ought to die
if they don't know enough to get in
out of the rain"

Mississippi Wool Crop.

The wool crop of Mississippi has
practically been disposed of. The mar
ket closed unusually late this year be.
cause of the depression in values which
induced the growers to withhold their
offerings. Where a year ago wool was
bringing 81 and 80 cents per pound, it
is this year ranging under % cents.
The crop this year has been up to the
average of recent years, though it does
not compare with the immense crops of
a few years ago before the railroads and
the settlers came to occupy the country
through which the sheep used to range
at will. The total clip this year will
run between $50, 900 and 800, 900 pounds,
which at prevailing prices will run to
over a million dollars in value. In
years the value Of the crop was
close to So, 900, 900.

North Dakota Solves the Ad%uIteratlon
Problem.

North Dakota seems to have tound
the key to the question. How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured p%roducts?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make 1t impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
~so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But If they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article a bear a label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no real
white lead.
1t would cen that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
but would protect US from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

VANISHING Rural Industries.

The gradual cessation, one after
another, of the countryside industries
is one of the principal reasons why the
peasant owner has vanished from the
land Thatching and woodcraft have
been killed by rural councils, with
their craze for slated roofs, and by the
substitution of other materials for
timber. The cottager can no longer
even burn wood, but must buy coal,
since his fireplaces are not fashioned
for the consumption of fagots.-Lon-
don Estates Gazette.

The Central American Soldier,

These barefooted soldiers are an.
tagonists not to be despised. Nearly
worthless in attack, they are neverthe-
less tenacious in holding a position,
a trait that comes from their Spanish
descent probably. In the Cuban cam
paign Gen. Garcia is said TO ha We said
in reply to the remark of an American
officer: The S%paniards never at
tack" This may have been true in
the main, but the defense Of the
trenches at Caney showed that the
Spaniards would hold a position with
as much courage and tenacity as any
other troops. The Central and the
South Americans have not generally
showed much steadiness in war, but
there have been occasions when their
conduct has been conspicuous for
%gallantry, and all the virtues which
go to make up the stalwart soldier

Cannot Explain the Cause.

Aaron Stanton, one of the largest
cotton planters of Adams county, re-
ports that his cotton crop has deterior-
ated fully 35 per cen within the past
three weeks, and he is unable to ac-
count for the cause of it. He says his
bottom crop yield is excellent, but the
bolls along the middle of the stalk are
all shriveled and dried, and the pros
poets are that the middle crop will be a
complete failure.

On continental railways and tho

a steward goes through the train or

to eat. Each gets a number. and this
