~ interest. In the little courthouse
at Jackson, Judge James Hargis, not.
orlous as the Breathitt county feud
leader, is being tried for the alleged
assassination of DR.. B. D. Cox. Zach
of the case lies one of the most bitter
feuds ever known in Kentucky. and
IN which virtually every one in the

ly.
Dr. B. D. Cox was assassinated in
April, 1902, as he was passing the
Hargis residence in Jackson, to visit

into Judge Hargis's yard, where Judge
James and Senator Alex Hargis and
Ed. Callahan awaited them. Judge
Hargis commended them for killing
Cox. Spicer's confession was corrot-
GRATED in full last January, when John

Trenton, N. j., March 13.-The fol-
lowing joke told to her by her hus-

Governor Vardaman. But tho latter
has strong pull" with the masses.
Mr.. Williams stands we'll with the peo-
pie on the greater issues of the day,
but Governor Vardaman, on the other
hand, has kept closer at home and has
captivated the popular fancy by his
public declarations regarding those
questions in which the people of Mis-
sissippi are particularly interested.
Governor Vardaman, moreover, is a
ready speaker and may be counted up
on to hold his own if he accedes to Mr.
Williams request for joint canvass.
Whether the next senator be Williams
or Vardaman, 1t is already certain that
the political pot will boil at lively
rate in Mississippi this summer.

Senatorial Fight On in Mississippi

Jackson. Miss, March 13.-The sena-
torial fight in Mississippi has COM
menced this week In earnest and may
be expected to continue at lively
clip till the primaries are held in Au-
gust. The United States senators are
to be chosen by the legislature. which
will assemble next January. but, as
Senator A. J. McLaurin, one of the in
cumbents. will be returned without op-
position, the contest will be for but
one toga, that which now adorns the
shoulders of Senator H. d. Money.
Senator Money could secure a re-elec-
ton without trouble, 1t is believed. but
his health has not been good OF late
and he has consequently decided to re-
tire.

Washington, D. c., March 13-Uncle
Sam needs tailor in the Indian serv-
ice at Fort Shaw, Mont. and has adver-
tised for applicants to take the civil
service examination today for the
place. The advertisements fail to state
whether tailor is wanted who may be
able to introduce the latest French cut
of clothes to Indian swells, or whether
plain Indian blankets, with feather
adornements, shall be the styles en-
plotted by the tailor. The applicants,
however, must be of the male sex, "un-
married or without family" and must
not expect a salary of more than $500
year to begin with. If his work is
satisfactory to the government and
likewise to the Indians it Z. possible
that he may receive more in the future.

Proceed Against Railroads.
Buffalo, N. Y, March 13.-United
States District Attorney Bass has filed
fifteen complaints against the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Railway
company for violating the law in re-.
gard to the transportation of cattle.
Judgment is asked for $500.
The federal law provides that cattle
shall not be kept confined in a rail-
road car for more than twenty-eight
consecutive hours, unless an extension
OF time is granted by the owner of the
cattle upon request of the transporta-
tion companies, when the time may be
extended to thirty-six hours.
In all of the suits filed the govern
ment alleges that the cattle were con-
fined for not less than thirty-nine hours
and thirty minutes. The longest pc
riod of confinement alleged is fifty-two
hours and thirty minutes. The aver
age period is between forty-four and
forty-five hours.

numbered $50, it will thus be seen
that 153 are not accounted for, but
the naval authorities consider it most
probable that large number of these
