Nearly All in the City Are Coated
With It.
The sidewalks in the city are in
pretty bad condition. The recent snow
was packed down as it fell and it was
next to impossible to get it off the
walks. Then the warm sun melted it
a little and the water soaked what was
left. on top OF this came a freeze and
that fastened a mass Of ice to the side
walks which has been there ever since.
There has not been much melting
weather and the ice holds on like a
brother. In some sections of the city
the people have scattered sand or
ashse on the walks and have thereby
made walking better, but In many
places they are so slippery that travel-
ing in the street is less dangerous thag

Submit To Arbitration.

Washington, May THE Guatema-
Ian minister, Senator Toledo Harratte,
has suggested to his government by
cable that it would be wise to offer to
submit to arbitration the difference
between Mexico and Guatemala that
now threaten complete rupture of
diplomatic relations.
The minister was at the State De
partment and had long conference
with the officials in regard to this
issue between the two countries.
It is pointed out that both Mexico
and Guatemala are already parties to
a treaty framed at the Pan-American
congress at the City Of Mexico, by the
terms Of which they agreed to submit
to arbitration every issue that should
arise between them with the exception
Of questions of national honor and
those relating to hostile invasions.

JANUARY TO BE FREED
Escape Missouri Convict Will Be
Given a Pardon.


Attorney General Bonaparte recon-
mended the pardon Of John w. Janu-
airy, alias Anderson, the Kansas City
"Jean Vatican" the amnesty to be-
come effective on July 10. At the
same time he fixed upon him the brand
Of Cain by reciting the fact that
q former employee Of the peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth suspected Janu-
airy Of having murdered Axton, the
prisoner who escaped with January.
President Roosevelt Immediately APP
proved the recommendation, apparent
" not noticing the reference to the
Axton killing.
The Attorney General, in making
that fact part of the record, brought
forward something that he himself
said seemed to have no sufficient
ground for existence. The fact has
not been generally known among the
10000 persons who signed petitions
for the pardon Of the man whose re-
cord Of nine years Of upright life
induced the House Of Representatives
Of the Missouri Legislature to adopt
a revolution asking that he be par
oned.

made by Camariaria Mayor, or Mis-
tress Of the Robes, to Premier Mau-a,
who formally communicated the fact
to the distinguished company In the
words: "Gentlemen, it is prince. =
The news was greeted with the
greatest enthusiasm, which swelled 10
a spontaneous cheer, as King Alphon-
so himself entered, accompanying the
Camariaria Mayor, carrying a huge {
silver tray upon which was lying the
newly born baby, covered with deli
cate lace garments. The Infanta Eula-
lie was at the kings side as he enter 1
ed with his son.
The scene was most impressive. Pre-
mier Maura at once advanced and
with some hesitation relieved the mis-
tress Of the robes of her precious load
Then bearing the tray, the premier
proceeded slowly to the center Of the
room, where all present crowded
around, anxious to obtain a view Of 7
the child, which was presented to onet
after the other in their order Of court
precedence. When the curiosity off
all present was satisfied, the babe I
was handed back to the mistress Of the
robes and by the latter was given to I
the royal nurse, who Immediately re-
turned to the side of the Queen. As
the nurse disappeared into the royal
apartments roar Of cheering could be
heard from outside of the palace.
In the meantime the scenes in the&
streets outside were almost beyond
description. Business had been sus-
pended for hours previous to the an
nouncement of the childs' birth. An
immense multitude gathered in the
vicinity Of the palace and with the
royal standard Of red and gold futS
tered up to the peak Of the flagstaff
ON the Punta Dedicament, making(
known that a prince Of the Asturias (
was born, a great shout Of JOY went
up from the assembled masses.
Afterwards salute Of twenty-twcs
guns carried the news to the most +
remote confines Of the city and the
inhabitants Of the surrounding coupA
try. AS the sixteenth report resound
ed (fifteen guns only would have been
fired to announce the birth of girl)
the men, women and children waiting
in the streets, upon the balconies and
roofs, gave voice to their satisfaction
and soon the whole city was ringing
with cries of "Long live the Prince. u,
"Long Live the Queen" and "Long
Live the King" Simultaneously tho
public buildings blossomed out, as il
by magic, with the Spanish colors,
and singing dancing and otherwise re-
joicing, almost the entire population,
of the city began streaming in the df
rection of the palace.

Mr.. Bonaparte must either get well in
a hurry or give way to man who

Postmaster General Meyers is rep
resented as being disgruntled with his

that he may resign Voluntarily. The
reason for this feeling on his part,
it is said, is that he has discovered
that he is merely an official figure

nsy General, Mr.. Purdy, has not been
able to get to his chief for confer

much delay, and tied the hands Of
the entire Department. Personal con-

The so-called drug trust was per-
petually enjoined from continuing its
operations by the entering Of decree
in the United States Circuit Court
for the district OF Indiana on COM
plant Of the United States govern.
ment, filed by Jos. Healing, United
States district attorney.
The defendant, nfHty-two in num-
Der, who are the members officers,
directors, agents and attorneys Of the
National Association Of Retail Drug
gists, the National Wholesale Drug
gests' Association, Tripartite prophet
ors, Blacklist Manufacturers," which

reements covered by the charge are

which the alleged combination order
ed. AS charged, he would send list

The timber of Mississippi is disap-
pearing at rapid rate and the next
few years will no doubt bring our peo-
pie to a realization Of this more
strongly than ever. The development
Of land for agricultural purposes as
well as the cutting Of timber for
lumber is fast denuding our forests.
In the face of this fact lies another
that is worthy Of consideration. A
large per cent of the large trees and
. larger per cent Of the smaller ones,
IS entirely lost. The parts not avail
able for lumber being left to rot upon
the ground. The greater part of this
wasted timber could be utilized in
wood and sold at a fair price, there
by leaving thousands upon thousands
of dollars in the state that as it is
now, are sent to Alabama and Ken
tuccky for coal. Train load after
train load of coal is bought and used
IN Mississippi every twelve months,
the money paid for it going to other
states and being lost to our home
channels of business, while at the
same time we are wasting wood that
could in a majority of instances and
should take the place of this coal.
"A recent experiment made at Gloster
in the municipal light and water
plant demonstrates the truth of this
assertion. A comparison was made
of the cost Of operating SO days with
coal alone and SO days with coal and
wood mixed. The result was balance
IN favor of the wood to the amount
Of $46.84. Then, too, the sum Of $780,
IS was left in the community and
of course remained in the channels
Of trade. If the manufacturing plants
and citizens generally used wood Mis-
Bissippi would keep at home millions
Of dollars that at present goes to 9TH
or states. This is a subject of enough
Importance to demand the careful
consideration Of our people, and
when it is thus considered the writer
believes that in the very near future
Che use of wood will be given a great
stimulus.

p. 4. Hammett Of near Vicksburp.
one of the most extensive and pro-
gressive farmers Of the state, gave the
writer not long since some informa-
ton concerning the manner in which
to cut irish potatoes so that they
would come up in a uniform stand
and of equal hardness. He says that
they should be cut from end to end,
leaving at least one eye on the bud
end OF the potato and one or two
along the strip as convenient. Mr..
Hafnmett says that the bud end Of
a potato will produce the hardest
plants and that they will come
quicker than the eyes from other
parts OF the potato. Then by split
ting them from end to end, with q
bud eye on each strip, the patch
should come up evenly and grow of
together. 1t is an experiment worth
trying and the writer would like to
hear from those who try it, giving
the success attained and their opin-
ion Of the plan.
