lake CITY RANKS HIGH
AS A TOBACCO MARKET.

The FIRST LOAD BROUGHT In and
WAREH0USEREN and FARMERS Are
SHILIRG--flNE CROP OUTLOOK.
LAKE CITY, June 24:-Who's
now grumbling that the weather
is not hot enough to make the
cotton grow4
Those directly interested in
the tobacco market are ready
for the season now opening.
The three warehouses are under
the same management as last
year, to wit: the King, Mr. j D
King; Planters, Nessrs Motley,
and the Star, Col. o T Hall.
These gentlemen have had the
necessary cleaning up, white
washing, painting, etc., done;
their respective corps of book
keepers, auctioneers, and help
generally are in; a number of
buyers have arrived and things
are practically in shape to
handle the crop. The outlook
at this date is that the best
crop ever raised in this section
is the one now ripening. The
fields We have seen are certainly
promising and reports have it
that throughout this entire ter
ritory the crops are fine In
making this statement OF course
those fields which have been
injured by hail are not included.
In the marketing Lake City will
play a part and an important
one too, even more important
than ever. Some other markets
have gone down and several
have died; but Lake City holds
| it's own. From the beginning
the sharp practices. shady deals
and questionable transactions
practiced elsewhere, have been
studiously frowued upon here,
and ty frank treatment, square
dealing and honest transactions
this market has steadily built
itself up. For those qualities
that give tone and confidence
us market in the state stands
higher than this one. aud, not
withstanding many adverse
cir cumstances, even in the
quantity handled this town
ranks very near the top. pro-
baby second-at any rate no
lower than third. This is not
"bragging," but a statement
whose foundation is solid. How
ever even "bragging" is per
missible where there is record
to support it while "wind
jam ming with nothing but
sha low conceit back OF it, is
disgusting. Lake City as
leading tobacco market is an
established fact and you can't
get around it

ALL NEW YORK
 IS AROUSED Over Murder of Little
 Child. THREE HELD ON SUSPICION Another Assault Attempted on = Girl Yesterday. Seemingly Inability of Police to Check the wave of Crime Which is
 Spreading on East
THREE HELD ON SUSPICION

New York. August 2.-The murder or little Swear Told Katie Tieschler. who was found yesterday choked to death with her own hair ribbon and her body mutiiated by the slayers lust in dark cellar on First avenue. has called forth today every effort of the whole police department to find the fiend who has been satisfying his murderous ap- petite in the strangling and hacking to bits the bodies of his victims. Unlike the White Chapel, Jack the Ripper. the New York slayer picks out his victims among children as well as women. The killing of the Tietschler child was the most atrocious in the city criminal his tory.
 Two men and a woman are being held in custody today on suspicion that they might know something of the girls death. The woman. Anna Mesner, was arraigned in the night court ana held without bail for the coroner. She was taken to police headquarters and was closely questioned by detectives. She admitted that she knew Gaeitano Guiseppe Bonfanta, both of whom are being detained by the police. She said she had been living for several days at the house where the body was found. She formerly resided with the Tietschlers, but Karl Tietschler recent ly ordered her to leave the house.
 The seeming inability of the police to check the wave of crime which Is spending itself unchecked in the Kill ing and spoliation of women and chl- dren has created a state of fear among hundreds of families on the East side. where the Ttetschler crime was com mitted and in other parts of the city. Police Commissioner Bingham says that tho police force is inadequate to properly police the city, but that ev- erything possible Is being done by the force under his direction.
 Anna Messner was arrafgned tooay before Coroner Hamburger and through her counsel declined to make any statement. She was committed to the Tombs without ball Rippolone was sent to the house of detention as . suspicious person by the coroner in default of 3100 to insure his appear- arce at the inquest.
 Another assault on a young girl was attempted today and only the timely arrival of the police prevented a crowd of enraged longshoremen rom taking the law into their hands.
 Carl Nelson. a Swedish sailor. seized 8-year-old Annie Pittman as she was nlayinp near the Rector Street pier of ths Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Her screams brought a crowd of angry Iongshoremen, who set upon Nelson ana beat him unmercifully. Nelson protest ed his inS ocence.

Rumors of Differences Between ths
 Federation Leaders Rife.
Also Said That Richardson Dees Net Approve of DaFrov's Soeialistlo Utterances ana VIII wath.
 draw From Case,

Boise. Aug. 2-William D. Haywood. Secretary Treasurer of the Westsrn Federation of Miners. accompanied by his family. John H. Murphy. general counsel of the Federation. who is dy- ing of colDumption. and several social- ist writers. who have been in Boise throughout the trial. left today for Denver.
 Charles H. Mover. President of the Federation. who has been released on $2s.000 bail. was also expected to leave today, but has postponed his departure until tomorrow night
 The fact that Haywood and Mover did not leave together has renewed ru- mors circulated some time ago of dif- ferences existing between the two chief officers of the Federation. Both mon denied these stories today and de- olared they were circulated for the pur- pose of creating dissention and trying to divide the ranks of the miners or- ganization. It Is known. however. that Mover has not .Ihoily approved Of the plan for . celebration in Denver on Sunday and will have no part in it.
 He believes it will be far better te wait at least until George A. Petti- bone, who must remain here in jail. has had his trial.
 There is to be read1ustment of counsel for the Fettibone and Mover trials and this fact has given rise to reports of differences among the law yers. sThe matter is to be settled soon at a conference in Denver. Clar- ence Darrow. of Chicago, and E. F. Richardson. C. Denver. it is said. will not be associated at the next trial.

MAGILLS INDICTED
SIX COUNTS IN BILLS CHARGING
 MURDER.
As Alleged Uxorcide Leaves Court Room He is Greeted by Boister- ous shouts from His Form
 CT Friends.

Clinton, Ill, Aug. 2.-The grand jury which has been investigating into the death of Mrs. Pet Magill. the first wife of Fred Magill. who. with his second wife, is in tail here. having heen brought back from California to. an- swer to thpe charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Pet Magill. today re- turned one indictment against Magfll and one indictment against Mrs. Faye Graham Magfll.
 The indictments were exactly alike. each containing six counts.
 The six counts in each indictments are as follows:
 That Mrs. Pet Maeill was murdered by the administration of strychnine poisons: that the murder was done by arsenic; that she was smothered with a quilt: that she was strangled to death by chloroform; that she committed suicide as the result of a compact and agreement with the defendants and by their advice and counsel; that her death was caused by the defendants. by some means unknown to the grand jury.
 Magill and his bride of four weeks were in the crowded court room when the indictments were returned.
 As soon as tho indictments were filed, the prisoners were hurried out of the court room and looked in an ante room with the sheriff's wife. where they remained until court took re- cess.
 As the prisoners. escorted by the sheriff and his wife came out of the court house, a thousand men. women and children, surrounded them, eager to see Magill and his wife Several men called out Hello Fred" to which Magin replied. But neither paid much attention to the crowd that followed in walking the i've blocks to the jail.
 During the afternoon session Judge Cochran sustained the motion to quash the sixth count of both indictments. He overruled the motion to quash the other indictments. The defense imme- dfately filed a motion to consolidate the two cases SO that both husband and wife would be tried together and the court took this under advisement.
 The defense then asked that the case be set for trial as early as possible and Judge Cochran announced that Novem- Der would be the earliest possible date. but after considerable argument on this subject the Judge adjourned court until Saturday morning when he will decide whether the trials shall be- gin next week or in November. The defendants were then arraigned and pleaded not guilty.

COST OF MINING.
One Thousand Lives Were Sacrthced
 Tn Peunsylvania Fields.

One Thousand Lives were Sac1inceo
 In Pennsylvania Fields.
 Philadelphia. Aug. z-More than T. 900 persons were killed last year in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. accord ing to the annual report just issued oy James Roderick. chief of the Depart ment of Mines
 The statistics show that of 657 per sons killed at the anthracite mines, 274 were the result of the victims' care lessness; 69 to carelessness of others; 1SS unavoidable and 26 resulted rom accident for which responsibility could not be fixed.
 Of the AZ killed at bituminous mines, so7 victims died from their own carelessness. ten bv the carelessness of others, 147 unavoidable and eigh- teen by accidents for which responsi- bility could not be fixed.
 The chief says that the figures show that two-thirds of the accidents re- suited from the victims own care lessness, and that the remaining third may be taken as the reasonable per- centage of accidents to miners.
 "It seems impossible to adopt any method" he said. either by legisla- tive enactment of by special rules. that will tend to lessen the loss o1 HIe among the mine workers.

Americans Win Give Government Dis-

 Havana. Aug. 2.-It being the opinion of almost every one, except the poll. ticians. that if there is little money in the treasury on the re- establishment of the Cuban Republic. the possibility of trouble which might lead to the downfall of the republic will be re- duced to . minimum. plans have been made for vast and much needed inn provements.
 The provisional government will start the program of improvement such as road buildin gand accomplish as much as possible during the occupa- ton. It will then turn over the plan to the re-established government. with what will amount to orders to carry 1t out.
 The road scheme offers the best H. illustration of the plans. Completed. this work, as now planned. will cost $13.000, ,000, of which $4.500,0 has al- ready been appropriated. to be ex- pended during the present fiscal year.

Southern May Accede
 to Demands Of State <
 Not to Do Business

the State has created, and decline ab- solutely. to transact any more business in Alabama. And 1t may very easily come to such . condition of a6airs that that will be the course selected by the Southern, as the easiest and most satisfactory of the three.
 Would StoD Local Trains.
 In such m event 1t is improbable that the railroad would entirely cease business in the State. There would still be the interstate business to be cared for. Ticket ofices would have to be maintained for tho sale of tickets to points in other States. Trains would have to be run for the accommodation of such passengers.
 But all local trains. in all probabil- ity. would be abandoned. and either passenger or freight trafic between points in Alabama would be stopped. so far as the Southern Railway is con- cerned.
 T think" remarked a prominent cit- izen yesterday that if the Southern should decide to stop it's Alabama bus would bring that extra session of the Legislature they have been talking about all right. l think the people would insist on the Governor calliny ( the Legislators together. and they might not ,beswilling to wait until No- vcmber. either."
 For a day or two. 1t would seem. no matter whct may be the decision of tho Southern as to the proper course to be pursued, the case will rest quietly Should the railroad determine to so in- to the courts and fight 1t out in . legal manner, no action would probably be taken until tho State follows up the revocation of tho charter with some action taken against the road.
 Then. and probably not until then. would the attorneys for the road go tn- to the United States Court to secure either citations for contempt or an in- junction against any further interfer- ence, as might have been determined upon.
 On the other hand, should the road decide to obey the order of the Secre- tary of State. and cease to do business

Washington, Aug. 1-The Attorney General has written an opinion as to the date upon which the Creek In- dians can begin to alienate their lands under the act of Congress of June 30. 1909. That law provides for the re- moval of the restrictions on all alien ations except homesteads five years af- ter the time that the agreement which 1t legalizes goes into effect and there was a dispute as to whether that time was fixed by the date of the approval of the act or the Presidents proclamation of ratification of the agreement The Attorney General sustains the latter date. The proclamation was issued August IS, 1902. and tho Attorney Gen. eraI accordingly holds that the re- strictions will be removed on the 18th of the present month. five years from the date of the proclamation.
