ton and distribution of State revenues.
Tomorrow the real business of the
convention will be transacted, when
resolutions and memorials will be intro
duced and discussed.
Already it is evident that the senti-
ment of these county supervisors in ses-
sion here is not in sympathy with the
demaud for the higher assessment and
heavier taxation of uncut timber land,
and, while it may be attempted>to devise
some temporary expedient for avoiding
the plain requirement Of the law that
such law must be assessed at its fair
market value, the convention will proba-
bly, adopt strong resolutions calling for
a constitutional convention, by which
means alone can the permanent relief be
obtained which the case demands.

Secretary of State Power has made up
the expense account of the late session
of the Legislature showing the expen-
ditures were $7,350,3 :. 81, which is the
largest expenditure that any Legislature
ever made for the State of Mississippi.
There is no telling just where this mat
ter is going to end. The distribution OF
the school fund for the past few months
is on, and the teachers of the State will
be clamoring for their money before the
first of July. There is not sufficient
money in the States strong box to set
tie the CLAIMS, but it is believed that the
loan authorized by the Legislature Will
be made ere that time, and that there
will beno suffering. The payments may
be delayed somewhat, but the fact re
mains that all school bills must be paid
on or before the time limit; wherefore
the general satisfaction.

ARE BOOK REVIEWS NEWS? :?

There SCENE to be a difference of opin-
ion among editors Us to whether the ap-
pearance of an important new book is
an event deserving of any mention in
crowded newspaper. Is the review Of a
good novel or a great history matter
of real public interest, THE CHICAGO
RECORD-HERALD is one of the compara-
lively few newspapers that answer this
question in the affirmative by printing
reviews and news of the latest books
every day in the week. 1t believes that
its readers are intelligent men and wo-
men, who wish to keep up with the
worlds literary events, as we'll as with
other important news. It's literary de-
partment, under the editorship Of Ed
win L. Shuman, is generally acknoWl-
edged to be the most ably conducted in
the West. Mr.. Shuman's reviews are
sought and quoted all over the country,
and SO are those of his brilliant corps of
assistants. Walter Littlefield's news
letter from New York every Saturday
keeps The Record-HeraId's readers in
formed on all the forthcoming books of
importance, and cable dispatch from
London every Sunday gives the latest
book news of the English capital. Thus
by covering the literary events of the
world as thoroughly as those of every
other field, The Record-Herald has be
come the leading authority in that line
west of New York. 1t is not strange
that people of literary tastes prefer if.

THE FRENZIED BEEF PACKERS.

1t is stated that the Neill-Reynold re-
port on the Beef Trust horrors has al
ready seriously injured the American
meat trade abroad, that the sale OF Am
erican canned meats has practically
stopped altogether in London, and that
throughout Belgium the market for our
lard and other prepared animal products
has been killed.
Nor is this all, in New York and other
cities a decrease in the use of meats is
very apparent, and this is especially no.
ticeable at public restaurants, where di-
ners always look with more or less sus-
picion at the dishes prepared beyond
their ken.
Such results are perfectly natural and
to be expected, and the public cannot
feel sorry for the men who have brought
this state of affairs to pass. 1t IS right
that they should be published for their
actions, and it is a pity that such pun
ishment should not be more drastic than
mere monetary loss-or rather mere
lessening of profits.
The Agricultural Committee OF the
House does not seem inclined to take
the offenders to task. Its members want
to take a trip to Chicago and "make an
inspection themselves. Just as ii every
packing house in the city had not been
imbued with a frenzy of nodse-cleaning
ever since the subject-matter OF the re-
port was first limited at!
In fact, the plan appears to be to de-
lay reporting the Agricultural Bill to
the house until the last possible mo
ment, and then to force it through with
out any meat-inspection amendment, or
to add a substitute which will be emi-
nentIy satisfactory, not to the public,
but to the packers.
One thing is certain-if the present
Congress does not assist the people IN
this shameful matter, these same people
will remember that fact at the polls next
fall.

1t is not only our commerce but our
national character that has been injured
by the frauds and scandals now astonish-
ing the world, II the laws had been
faithfully executed such scandals would
have been impossible. The greatest and
most damaging of all these scandals is
that the laws of the United States have
not been faithfully executed that rant
and hypocrisy, and connivance at crime,
and political partisan success won by
criminals with stolen money and hush
money, stand in the place of duty and
morality. The people may applaud the
spectacular rogues for time; but they
will turn and rend them Just as soon as
soon as they are undeceived.

The New Y ork Sun declares that Pres
ident Roosevelt is the only man that can
make the Panama Canal an actuality.
AS it is estimated it will take ten years
to complete the job with the President
making the "dirt fly and at the rate
the work is now progressing it will pro-
badly take twenty years. 1t will be nee
essary to hire President Roosevelt to
complete the job, after his term expires,
if the Sun persists that he is the only
man that can do it.

1t was announced that the New Or
leans clearing house had adopted new
charter to take effect July 2. The char
ter was made up after study of the
Chicago and New York clearing house
systems. One of the most important
changes provides that uniform nomi-
nal fee will be charged for collections
payable outside of New Orleans by mem
bers of the New Orleans house, or bank
clearings through them. Heretofore
this out of town business has been done
at loss. The membership fee is raised
from $1,000 to $4,000. There are at
present sixteen banks in the association.

BECAUSE OF WIFE'S HEALTH DECLINES TO
BE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

West Point, Miss, June 20.-Hon.
Frank A. Critz has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the people of Missis-
slppi:
"It has been my purpose at the proper
time to enter the pending gubernato rial
race. | have 50 stated to my friends in
reply to enquiries from all over the
State; but my wife's continued ILL
health forbids my re-entry into politics
at this time.
81 am deeply grateful to my friends
for the interest manifested by them in
me and feel sure that my course, for
the reason given, will meet their ap-
proval. | have waited with a hope of
such permanent Improvement in Mrs.
Critz as would justify my public an
nouncement before the time for the be
ginning of an active canvass, but her
recovery has been so slow that am not
justified in longer hesitating. My first
duty is to her, and it is now mani fest
that she is not in a condition to endure
the terrible strain of Mississippi State
campaign. Very respectfully,
CRANK A. CRTTZ." !"

Steele & Hoke of Dodge City are among

studio is credit to the town. Among
their new improvements they have Just
installed violet ray light which entirely

have installed a 10000 candle power

J. W. DRISKILL DEAD
Formerly Well Known Cattle Man
Here Died in South Dakota.

Formerly Well Known Cattle Man
Here Died in South Dakota.
The death Of John w. Driskill, known
amosg his friends as Bud Drsklll, occur.
red in Spearfsh, South Dakota, on Maya.
The old settlers here will all remember
Mr.. Driiklll. With his father aud brother
he established In 1875 a great ranch on
the Cimarron river where they held as
high as 10000 head Of cattle at time,
and the Driskill's were known throughout
this country for the ten years following.
In 1884 the Driskill's built $400,000
hotel n Austin, Texas which still bears
their name and Is among the greatest
hotels of that state. John w. Drlskill
who died two weeks ago was worth about
100000 at the time mentioned above.
Between 1884 and 1886 the Driskill's re-
moved all of their Kansas cattle interests
to South Dakota and in 1886 were holding
there about 10000 head of cattle. The
terrible winter OF 'S6 which made so
nearly clean sweep of range cattle re-
duced their herds to less than 1000 head.
The Drisklls then disposed of their Tex.
as holdings and replaced their losses In
South Dakota. A great rise In price Of
cattle followed which made good the
Driskill's losses, John w. Drlskill had
been in poor health In recent years and
had retired from the cattle business. A
Dakota paper says of him, "Mr Driskill
was man who planned only on large
scale. His mind was powerful and broad,
and it is doubtfulifa better posted cattle
man ever lived. Liberal to fault, no
man ever appealed to him for assistance
in vain, and not few owe their start 10
life today to the assistance lent them by
his generously"
W. w. Driskill, the brother spoken of
above Ia a son.in law of A. j. Antho-
ny of Dodge City, and was married here
at the Valley farm.

edly. He had recently returned from

after losing his eyesght. He returned
much encouraged as the sight Of one Of
his eyes had been restored. On last

make this his home until his death, re-
naming actively In the track service Of
the Santa Fe until about six years ago
when he retired from work and was
pensioned by the company In recogni.
ton of his long and faithful services.
Mr.. Stafford came to the Santa Fe
service from Cleveland, Ohio. He was
in charge of much Of the construction Of
the old |. c. & H., now the Big Four, as
we'll as other roads, before coming to
Kansas.
