of one of its constituent organiza-

rooms in the Panama building, with
the result that the Mississippi and

put to a vote.

RIVER STAGES.

Not in many months was the river
known to be as busy as 1t was yester-
day afternoon as far as local ship
ments are concerned. Until II
o'clock last night wagons we're pour
ling onto the wharfboat in a contin-
uous stream and the congestion at
times required a full exercise OF the
liability to direct to keep things NOV
ing at the proper rate. The spring
wholesale business Is In full blast and
the southwark bound packets are car
lrying away as much freight from Pa
ducah as they bring in. The river
rose only A in the last "a hours.
bringing the stage up to s1,S. March
z last year the stage was 23.3.
The Russell Lord lost three barges
of ties in the Mississippi river yester-
day by striking a reef. The Russell
Lord is in the Reelfoot lake section
lof the Mississippi river. AS yet the
cause of the accident is not known,
but as the barges were heavily loaded
the loss may be great Most Of the
ties probably will be saved.
Preferring liberty at any cost, a
COW jumped off the end of the wharf
boat yesterday afternoon into the
river while a number were being
loaded on the City of Memphis. A
skin was procured and some rousta-
bouts rowed out to the COW, tied a
rope to her horns and towed her
into the shore. The COW couldn't kick
or hold back and they had no trouble
bringing her in.
While the Memphis arrived late on
this trip from the Tennessee river, the
principal reason for getting away IL
hours late was the big trip taken on
here for southern points. The Mem
phis did not get away until O'Clock
this morning for the Tennessee river.
Captain Hunter says the Dunbar
probably will be ready to leave to-
morrow for Nashville after several
weeks spent here for repairs to the

JOHN SHARP WILL

Famous Statesman En-
tiers On Fight For Moneys
Toga.

Washington, March 7.-Represent-
alive John Sharp Williams, the Dem
ocratic leader in the house, has left
for mis- home in Mississippi to begin
at once an active campaign for the
Mississippi senatorship against his
opponent. Gov. Vardaman. On next
Friday he will formally open his
campaign at Amory, Miss, and from
that time on will be actively engag-
ed upon the stump. He will deliver
speeches all over the state and little
doubt is expressed that he will have
a pronounced majority when the
votes are counted in August. The eff
forts of Gov. Vardaman and his sup
porters to dlscredit the house lead
ership of Mr.. Williams through the
candidacy of Representative Dear
mond, of Missouri, has ended in fiat
failure.
Mr.. Williams has already receiv-
ed written pledges from a majority
of the Democrats comprising the
membership of the Sixtietn congress,
and by the time the new congress
meets it Is expected that all opposi-
ton to him will cease. His leader

tory and it is only through the Hearst
coterie that opposition has been man.
