A striking appeal to the well-to-do
owner of a motor car who exceeds the
speed limit was made recently by the
police commissioner of Boston. The
number of policeman is limited. When
they are detailed to watch motor car
drivers they are withdrawn from their
proper duty of guarding homes and
preventing disorder. Business men
and professional men rich enough
to own motor cars, have property
which needs police protection. They
sacrifice part of this protection, says
Youths Companion, by keeping some
of the police on the watch for their
offenses against the road laws.

MEN STILL LIVE IN CAVES.
Troglodytic Villages Are Found In
; Northern Africa.

Grottoes and avern are used moro
or less as shelters by primitive peo-
pies and thus inhabited caves are Of
course most frequent in Africa. A con-
siderable number of natives make
their homes in caves along the south
ern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar
and in some Of those caves are found
the polished stones and arrow heads
of the stone age. Troglodyte villages
are frequent in the Tebessa territory
of Algeria, one of which, at Djeurf,
$50 feet above the gorge of the Wadi
Hallail, is reached by steps cut in the
rock.
The inhabitants Of the Tunisian
Island of Galite are cave jewellers,
their habitations being g~rottoes which
they have dug out of the limestone, or
ancient burial caverns that they have
enlarged. The subterranean villages Of
Matmata and of Medennie, hewn out
of the rock. are in southern Tunisia.
A Christian monastery built under
ground in the twelfth century still ex-
lists at Goba, Abyssinia. The enor-
nous cavern discovered. several years
ago within two hours walk OF the port
of Tanga, in German East Africa, con-
tains rooms the roofs of which are
from 1870 to $50 feet above the floor.
Only q few of these vast chambers
have yet been explored, for the entire
cavern seems to be inhabited by mil
lions of bats. One of these killed
with a stick measured nearly five feet
across It's extended wings.

ARREST AT FORT RENO
NEGRO CORPORAL WITH WOUND
ON HIS WRIST.
MAY Be WANTED ASSAILAAT
A Bloody Khaki Jacket, Bearing His
Initials, Found by W
Boys.

Fort Reno, Okla.-The finding OF
a khaki jacket, one sleeve of which
was covered with blood, and pune
tured presumably by a bullet, has
led to the arrest Of Corporal Knowles,
of the Twenty-fifth infantry. colored,
on the charge of murderously assault
ing Capt. Edgar B. Mackhn on the
night of Dec. FL.
Has a Severe Wound.
When arrested the negro officer was
found to have a severe flesh wound
on the wrist, which he is said to have
been treating himself for over three
weeks. The wound in the wrist is de-
clared to have been inflicted by the
same size bullet as went through the
sleeve of the jacket which bore
Knowles initials.
The jacket which led to Knowles
arrest was found near the fort on
Sunday by two boys, in the direction
taken by the bloodhounds that fol-
lowed the trail Of Mackhn's assailant.
Knowles refuses to talk, and May. Pen
rose, commanding officer at Fort
Reno, refuses to give any informa-
ton concerning the arrest.
1t is stated upon good authority
that Capt. Macklin is positive that the
prisoner is the man who shot him.

One group of government employees,
at least, must be admitted to do their
work at small expense. The engineers
of the land office during the last fiscal
year surveyed $500, 900 acres of public
land at an average cost of four and
oue-half cents an acre. Even this is
ON increase over the expense in pre-
vious years, which has been three
and one-half and four and one-third
cents. The reason is that most Of
the level, accessible and easily sur
veyed land has been disposed of. That
which has to be surveyed now is
mountainous or inaccessible, and con-
sequently the cost is greater.

Record Breaking Prices.

Yazoo county reports another record
breaker in cotton prices, c. Cessna, a
planter of that county, having sold o
bale of long staple for S147.5o, or an
average Of nearly 20 cents per pound.
Prior to this sale Yazoo county sold one
lot of cotton at 1925 per bale, and an
other at S135. Claiborne county has
also made a notable record this year,
one lot Of Allen long staple cotton,
containing about 300 bales, having been
sold at 26.5 per pound, and this pace
was eclipsed a few days later by the
sale of cotton at 26 1-4c per pound.

WANTS A GERMAN TARIFF
PRESIDENT ANXIOUS TO HAVE
DIFFERENCES SETTLED.
Special Message to Urge Reciprocity
to Avert Commercial
WaS.

Washington, d. C.-President Roose-
welt will send a special message
to Congress urging the prompt pas
sage OF legislation authorizing the
~otiation of reciprocal tariff trea-
ties with Germany. Something
must be done Immediately to bring
about a settlement of the tariff differ
ences between the United States and
Germany or there will be a large fall
ing off in American trade with that
country. A modus vivendi providing
for the minimum tariff rates of Amer
lean goods going into Germany is now
in effect, but this expires Ae.rcn l, on
which date the German government
will enforce its maximum tarif rates
against American goods exported in
Germany. In order to reach a basis
of settlement of the trouble the presi-
dent e n a commission of tariff ex-
perts TO Germany, at the head Oh
which Is Director Of the Censu North.
This commission is now at work and
has nearly compleleo its task.
President Roosevelt has decided to
direct the commission to hurry
through its work Ind to cable him the
recommendations so he can lay the
matter before Congress at once.
Unless there is some legislation at
this session Of Congress authorizing
the president to enter into reciprocal
trade treaties with Germany there is
l;lyAl,r - he n Jioo r,,, ,Ar~t~I
war between the United States and
Germany. Commercial interests
throughout the country are deeply
concerned over the question that they
are urging the members of the senate
and house to take effective action.
Heavy exporting interests in the
West are bringing strong pressure to
bear upon their representatives in
Congess to support any measure look
ing to a relief of the commercial sit
uation with Germany. These inter
ests have been enabled by the modus
vivendi negotiated by Secretary Root
and Ambassador Speck yon Sternburg
to continue uninterrupted their bust
ness relations with Germany, but, as
this arrangement will soon expire,
they are now manifesting fresh con-
Germ over a further and more perma-
nent modification of certain tariff
schedules as applied to imports from
Germany. 1t is known that the presi-
dent and Secretary Root all along
have favored the making of reciproc-
ity treaties with Germany, and now
that the subject will soon come up
again in acute form they are under
stood to be more anxious than ever
to receive the necessary authorization
from Congress to negotiate these
treaties.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or s~ugar-coated.

New regulations of the steamboat
inspection service restrict the use OF
sirens and other steam-whistles in
New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
Only ire-boats and government YES
sells are to be allowed to sound the
hair-raising siren. The improved reg
u~lations are in considerable measure
due to the persistent work OF one
woman, although she has been assist
ed by many other vigorous pleaders.

sary noises of life, but good health
demands that we shall be spared un-
necessary shocks to the nervous sys-

the meaning of true liberty.

France" continues the Temps, until
the state and every citizens recognize

Newsnapers for the Blind.

The announcement that the London
Daily Mail is about to issue a weekly
edition for the blind, draws attention
to the other British journals published
in Braille type, which have had long
and useful career, though they have
seldom been cen by the general pub
lie. The first weekly newspaper for
the Sind was published on June 1,
1892, and called the Weekly Summary.
1t has always been issued below cost
price, and it's promoters derive no
benefit from its publication. An
other was started only last year,
called the Braille Weekly. and issued
from Edinburgh.

seriously offending those who voted
against them. He said the circuit court
was swamped with considering minor
