sissippi will not cause an immediate

SION DECIDES FINALLY.
NO CHANGE IN NORMALS
Prof. Kincannon's Selection as Chan

The Mississippi Vicksburg Park
Commission, composed of Captain w.
D. Ratcliff, of Raymond; VIM. G..
Yerger, of Greenville, and Captain
John G. eastman, of Vicksburg. Sec
retary, with Governor Vardaman, as
eX-officio chairman, met in the Gov
ernor's Office. The purpose of the
meeting was to make final decision
as to plans and designs for the State
Memorial in the National Park. Ar
chitect R. H. Hunt was in consulta-
tion with the Commission, which after
a careful study of the five designs
submitted, made a final selection. This
design IS one of grace and beauty,
classic in idea and thoroughly typical
the structure to be a granite obelisk
mounted upon twenty-four-foot Pc
destal, the whole to be seventy three
feet high. The Grecian style OF sculp-
ture will prevail, with a series of al
legeroical friezes, with figures in bas
relief, typical of the scenes incident
to the siege of Vicksburg. On the
front, surmounting a cap, which will
be supported by Ionic columns, will
be a statue seated symbolical of his
tory. This design is the work of
Sculptor F. E. Triebel, of New York,
specimens of whose work have been
seen and studied by the Commission
and the choice was unanimous. 1t
is estimated that the cost will approx
innate $4,000, the Commission hay-
ing an appropriation of $4,000 at
their disposal for the purpose Of
building a general state. monument
and for supplying twenty-five position
markers to be placed at different
parts of the area. The Mississippi
Monument will stand in about the
center of the line of Confederate
earthworks, and will command view
from every direction.

WITH MINORS even.
He crowned his admission of grave
crimes when he made an explicit de-
tailed confession of the murder of
Frank Steunenberg by an internal
machine that directly opens the way
for his own conviction and execution
for the mortal offense. He swore
that the assassination of Steunen-,
berg was first suggested by Hay
wood, was jointly plotted by Hay
wood, Meyer, Pettibone and himself /;
was financed by Haywood and was
executed by himself, after the failure
Of an attempt in which Jack Simp-
kins had participated.
Orchard lifted the total of his own
murder victims to eighteen, detailed
the circumstances under which he
tried to murder former Gov Peabody,
Judge Goddard, Judge Gabbert, Gen
Sherman Bell, D. HI. Moffatt and
Frank Hearne. Incidentally he con-
fessed to a plan to kidnap the child
of one of his former associates.

the defense Orchard confessed guilt
of the sordid social crimes of desert
ing his young child and wife in On
tario, fleeing to British Columbia
with Hattie Simpson the wife of an
other man and committing bigamy
by marrying third woman at Grip
pie Creek.
Through the shocking details of
murder, plots, stories of secret bomb
making, and details of man hunts
with a sawed off shotgun and infer
nal machines as weapons, the witness
went on in the same quiet off hand
His voice dropped a lower
key as the pitiful story of the long
hunt for Steunenberg narrowed down
to the last day, and he told of the
race from the hotel to the home to
beat his victim with the death trap
and the meeting in the evening in
the gloom as the victim walked un-
consciously to his doom.

State Encampment.

Unless plans are changed after a
conference with the committee on ar
rangements, the annual encampment
of the Mississippi national guard at
Columbus will commence August 6
and continue for a period of ten
days.
1t is the opinion of Gov. Vardaman
and Adjt. Gen. Fridge that August
6 should be the initial date. and Maj.
Gen. Keesler shares his opinion. A
formal order will probably be issued
from the adjutant-general's office
early next week.
Gen. Fridge is considering the feas-
ibility of having the Aberdeen and
West Point infantry companies and
the Cliftonville cavalry troop hire il
to Columbus, not merely to save rail
road fare, but to test the mettle Of
the members of those commands.

The eighth annual meeting of the
Mississippi Fire Underwriters Asso-
citation was held in Pythian Castle
Hall in Jackson, Austin F. Barbour,
of Yazoo City, president, with some
fifty or sixty members present.
Insurance Commissioner Cole was
also present, as an invited guest, and
remained with the underwriters
throughout the opening proceedings.
These were very simple, consisting of
an informal opening address by Pres
ident Barbour, in which he told of
the expansion of the organization
since the 1906 trip on the Senator
Cordill out of Natchez. He referred
briefly to the many problems which
they had all been called upon to con-
front during the twelve months, and
of the conservative manner in which
the underwriting business had been
conducted.

NEWSPAPER EXPENSE.

The cost of conducting a newspaper has gone beyond all comparison with any ordinary advances such as have struck other lines of industry. There is nothing entering into the cost of get ting out a paper but has increased in a large degree, while some things have run up to a point which fairly placed the existence of any but the soundest enterprises in jeopardy. The advance in white paper has been the severest condition of all to meet. It is a large part of the cost of getting out paper, having run up from former stage of $l.45 to an approach of $3. 75 per hund- red weight. At the same time the ele- ments of competition and the growth of the demands which have fallen on the business have rendered it neces- sary to increase the general scale of expenses for the better paper required by the growth of the community.
 All publishers and others familiar with the situation declare that the big advance in print paper is entirely due to the trust methods of the General Paper Go. An investigation has prov. en that there is not the slightest reas. on for this advance except the greed and avarice of the aforesaid corpora ton. This great tax on the newspapers of the nation ought to be one of tho first things investigated by the con gress now in session. Newspaper mel are not unanimous in their plans fo meeting the situation. Some would re duce the size of their papers whil others would increase the price, but al are agreed that something must b done and that at an early date. Pa irons of newspapers can assist mater ially by settling their subscription promptly and save publishers the ex pcnse of making collections.

About Town.

Dr. J. l.. Bell, of Belton, was telling crowd of his friends last night of his intention to move to Prescott the first of the year, when one of the friends referred to the matter of taxes here, and told how much more it costs to live in town than in the country
 Why I don't intend to pay any taxes" /" replied Dr. Bell. Not a cent, I'm on the pension list"
 But you will after you are here awhile, won't you, Doctor?"
 No, not for many years will I ever pay cent The tax payers are paying me to come here."
 His friends looked at him and wondered if the Doctor was suf- fering from any mental trouble, when he explained:
 You see I have six children, all going to school. The average tuition for these children would be S1.50 month a piece, making a total of $900 a month for the bunch. You have ten months school l believe. That makes it 800. % for the year. I have bought a place assessed at S90O.00 your rate of taxation is 364 mills mak- ing my total taxes for everything about S3300. Yes, they are giv- ing me my taxes free and paying me S57 ayear to live in Prescott.

MEXICO AHEAD OF UNITED STATES.

American ConsulW w. ID. Shaugh-
messy writes from Aguascalientes
that "the contemplated changes
IN freight rates. which were 10
have taken effect on August 8,
are still pending, waiting the aP-
proval of the Mexican tariff COM
mission, as all railroad rates in
Mexico must be submitted to the
government before they may go
into effect. The consul discusses
the present railroad situation in
the country as follows:
The new classification and
freight tariff were published and
distributed, but the many serious
objections raised against them
have SO far prevented their being
approved and have been the
means of commencing what prom
ises to be warm controversy
between the railroads and the
mining and smelling interests.
The mineral interests are fore
most in combating the proposed
raise in the rates, as they are to
be more seriously affected tha n
the agricultural and mercantile
interests.
In some cases the rates on GER
tain classes of ore have been ad-
vanced as high as 1863 pei cent,
while the average increase is as
high as 81 per cent, according to
the distance transported. A the
greater part OF the Mexican mines
are of the low rather than OF the
high grade, the ores now being
shipped will not produce enough
revenue under the proposed rates
to warrant their operation.
1t is estimated that there are
and have been for many months
100000 tons of ore piled up on
the railroads awaiting shipment
