Society at the Capital.

At tho Country club near Washington
the season has started six weeks in adj
vance Of the usual time, and all the
modish world seems determined to live
out Of doors. The Country and Chevy
Chase clubs count Representative and
Mrs. Longworth on their rolls, and it is
their boast that they have entertained
the president and his guests on their
equestrian tours. The jamestown eX-
hibition, which will keep many import
ant folk in Washington until June, is
well under way, and the life in the
open is to be more popular than ever.
Even the diplomats are endeavoring to
get away from the Formally of the en-
basses, and legations are taking quar-
tiers in the suburbs until the time for
the summer fitting arrives.

Utes Goinq to Cheyenne Res


Utes Going to Cheyenne Reservation.
Senator Gamble of South Dakota has
Joined the Cheyenne Sioux Indians in
protest against the band Of White river
Ute Indians being given homes on the
Cheyenne reservation. All the protests,
though, are not likely to deter the pres
ldent from the determination he has
arrived at to temporarily at least put
the Utes with the Cheyennes, who have
plenty of lands.
The presidents plans now are to per
NIT the Utes to remain on the Chey-
enne reservation until the reclamation
service has had time to irrigate the
reservation of the Utes in Utah When
this Is done the Utes will be required
to return to their former homes unless
there Is good reason for letting them
stay In South Dakota, as they will then
be able to grow crops.
1--WE have got all the Indians in
South Dakota we care for" said Sena-
tor Gamble. There are upward of
10000, and the addition of the Ctes
Will not add to the value of our popu-
lation. There are some surplus lands III
the cheyenne reservation that will soon
be ready for settlement, but if the Ctes
are put there this will retard settle
ment of white people in our state for
long time to come"

JAPS CONTEMPLATE
RETALIATORY STEPS

TOXIC, July Fear is expressed
here that the danger point between
Japan and the United States will soon
be reached.
The anti-Japanese feeling and dem
onstrations in San Francisco have
made the impression here that they
are the result of a careful plan which
has racial hatred for its foundation.
The latest discrimination in the Pa
cific slope metropolis is, according to
Japanese contention, fragrant violation
of treaty rights and while war is not
thought of the good will and friend
ship which hitherto has existed, may
be seriously alienated if prompt meas
ures are not taken to ally the indigna-
ton here.
Influential men in political and bus
mess circles are evidently seriously
retaliatory measures
and boycott against American goods

on the assessment rolls. The balance
due the state was s7.sO3. for which
check was deposited The total com
missions of the trustee amounted to
$3,04s.1S.
1t is expected that from now on
there viii be daily settlements with
the trustees of the state. All OF them
could have received their releases for
uncollectable taxes at yesterdays ses-
sion of the county court, and those
who have done so can settle at any
time now. Where the trustees failed
to obtain the necessary credits at the
present session of the county court
they must delay final settlement with
the comptroller until after the first of
next October Comptroller Dibrell is
making an extraordinary effort to have
the trustees make prompt settlements
this year, and it is believed that the
percentage of delinquents will be I'M
usually small.

FARMERS SHOULD
PREPARE FOR FAIR
SAVE THE BEST OF YOUR FARM
PRODUCTS AND MAKE THE
AGRICULTURAL DISPLAY
THE BEST EVER
SHOWN.

The officers of the Maury County
Fair Association hope to make the
| agricultural display at the fall fair
the best the county has ever shown
and to this end ask their farmer
friends to set aside the best of every
thing grown on the farm this year for
the purpose of exhibiting it. Crop
prospects are good this year, not so
much for large crops as for high
grade, and as good, II not better dis
plays in all farm products can be ar
ranged this year than ever before.
The reputation of the county will be
at stake more particularly this. year
than before for there will be many
former Maury countians present from
other states and we must show them
that the farmers, who remained true
to the old home, still know the science
OF agriculture and can compete with
the virgin soils of the west or any
where else. Then again this county
may try for the $1,000 offered by the
State Fair for the best exhibit this
year, and the better display we have
at the Maury County Fair, the better
will be the chance Of winning at Nash
Vile.

SLOWLY GOING

VILLAGE OF ELWooD, KAN, APP
PARENTLY WILL SOON BE
DESTROYED.

KANSAS CITY, June 30-The vii
lage of Elwood, Kans., sixty miles
north of Kansas City, is gradually slip
ping into the Missouri river. Elwood
lies in the bottom lands across the river
from st. Joseph, Mo. 1t was settled
first in 1855 and in the early days
was a rival of st. Joseph. Fifty years
ago the current of the river began to
sweep against the levee. The bank
crumbled away and it was necessary
to move the houses from the water
front. This house-moving process has
continued and now all of the original
townsite has been washed away with
the exception Of about fifty acres. The
stream is again cutting further into
the bank and the two dozen remain
ing families have been forced to move
their houses back further. 1t seems
probable that the entire village soon
will be destroyed Elwood is inhab-
tied by truck gardeners and fishermen.

CLIFTON, June 29.-Information
has just been given out here that the
Beech River Phosphate Company has
leased 1900 acres Of its phosphate
land to an eastern syndicate recently
Incorporated In New York as>the Ten
nessee Valley Phosphate Company.
This newscompany will begin the oper.
alton of this phosphate land as soon

tween five hundred and a thousand
men will be employed and an outlay
Of more than 100000 will be made to
begin the work.

banking firm of Edmund Seymour &
Co., is the president Of the operating
company, and will maintain his resi-
dence at Parsons and have direct, per-
sonal supervision of the work AL

URES ARE ASKED.

MT. PLEASANT, Tenn, July l.
This is the first day of July, and it is
chiefly remarkable in this community
from the fact that with phosphate pro-
ducers stocks on hand" are lower
than ever before at this time of year.
Usually the quotations of phosphate
drop for July, August and September
deliveries, for the reason that so much
mineral accumulates during these
months that to store and to carry it
becomes burdensome. But this year
decided stiffening in prices asked
mark the opening of July, nearly all
of the strong producers having marked
up the price on all grades about rs
cents per ton, export grade being held
at 81 per ton; rs per cent. domestic
at Sc, and 70 per cent, at $3.50. The
buyers balk somewhat at these prices,
but their inability to close contracts
at less makes trades slow. For rs
per cent. good, $5.75 was freely Of
fered Saturday, but only one trade
for small amount was closed so far
far as your correspondent could learn;

Il have been approached by quite a

the city administration would be as
10 suppressing the Illicit sale of whis-
ky after July next Monday--under
our new law, and have, in every in
stance, replied that the machinery Of
the city government would be used in
its most energetic form to prevent the
sale of whisky and all other intoxi-
cants in the city of GAINESVILLE, and
take this means of assuring all Of our
people that nothing shall be left I'M
done calculated to suppress the IL
licit sale of whisky and of other intoxi-
cants. Our people have settled the
question and their will shall be
obeyed am very confident that
those who have heretofore been en-
gagged in the legitimate sale of intox-
icants will not undertake to violate
the law, but will honestly adhere to
the requirements of the State and
municipal laws on the subject. 1t
may be. that for while the police
force of the city will have to be in
creased so as to prevent any possible
of our anti-saloon and whis
ky laws, but am vested with the pow
er to employ all necessary policemen |
and officers to see that the laws are
strictly enforced, and | shall not hest |
tate to use that power. A number of
our citizens have thought it we'll to
organize a Law and Order League,
not, as | understand, for the purpose
If officiously interfering with the prop
y administrative officials, but for the
purpose, as good citizens, of lending
III proper support to the officers
harged with the important duty of
eeing that the law is enforced. To
hese good citizens let me say that we
invite their earnest cooperation and
clip. | am not expecting trouble from
