A Slick Thief.

A man, giving has name as S. J.
Lowe, of Lacrosse, Wis, worked a
slick scheme on a local hotel man
one day last week. About four
o'clock in the afternoon the propri-
etor was called to the telephone, and
the man on the other end of the vine
stated that he was Mr.. w. N. Puckett
and that Mr.. Lowe, who had been
employed to work for him, was Oh
his way to the hotel to engage room
and board. He also stated that he
had given Mr.. Lowe a check for ten
dollars, and requested the hotel man.
to cash this check, EaaSs
few hours later Mr.. Lowe put
| in an appearance and after selecting
room and engaging board presented
the check and asked that it be cashed.
The hotel man didn't happen to have
ten dollars on hand, but gave Lowe
six dollars, and told him that he
could get the remainder on the fol-
lowing day. After receiving the mon
ey Lowe left the hotel, saying that
he would return later in the evening.
He failed to return, but the proprie-
tor thought that he had possibly Sc
cured cheaper boarding place, and
had not the faintest suspicion that
the check was forgery He owned
Mr.. Puckett bill, and in making
payment thereof included the check.
AS soon as Mr.. Puckett saw the check
he detected the forgery, and said that
he knew no such man as S. j. Lowe.
1t developed later that Lowe was a
professional swindler, and that he
had mulcted other parties out of
small amounts during his short stay
here.

Rev. w. T. Boiling, p. d., who lis

Guard and who is here in attendance
upon the annual encampment which
is now in progress in this city, went
to West Point Thursday to deliver
the address at the unveiling of the
Confederate monument in that place
DR.. Boiling was formerly pastor of
the First Methodist church here, and
during his residence in this city was
appointed chaplain of the Mississippi
National Guard. Although now liv-
ing in Paducah, Ky, he still retains
his position as chaplain, and is per-
forming the duties of the position
during the present encampment.
On his trip to West Point DR.. Boil

tesy on the part of the railroad Off

The Dispatch is indebted to Gen.
Keesler, Gen. Fridge and other Off
GERS of the National Guard for many
courtesies extended, and thanks are
especially due to Col Jno. p. Mayo,
the efficient assistant adjutant gen
eral, for valuable assistance rendered
in obtaining news of the camp. Al
though the duties of Col. Mayo's po-
sition are multifarious, he is never
too busy to furnish information to
the press, and is always on the look
out for the comfort of Columbians
who visit the camp. Col Mayo is
in every way qualified for the posi-
tion which he holds, and the splendid
manner in which he discharges his
duties has long since demonstrated
the wisdom of his appointment.

GALA DAYS AT
CAMP COLUMBUS
STATE ENC 89IP8IENT Is N FULL
EIAsT AND MEMBERS or
GUARD ARE HAVING
A MERRY TINE.
Besides the Military Maneuvers at
the Camp the Nightly Dances at
Lake Park Are Attracting
Very Large Crowds.


The fifth day of the State encamp-
nent closed yesterday, and the mem
bers OF the Mississippi National
Guard who are in camp here are hav-
ing delightful time. The camp be-
gan officially last Tuesday afternoon,
and it was Wednesday before the gai-
eties and festivities incidental to the
annual amalgamation of the State
National Guard really began. The
first dress parade took place at six
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The
parade was given by the Second Reg
iment, under command of Capt. Sam
McCants, and was witnessed by a
large number of visitors. The music
was furnished by the Second Regi-
ment band, of Corinth, which is COM
posed of twenty-eight men and which
is a splendid musical organization.
Mrs. Jas. K. Vardaman, the Misses
Vardaman and Miss Wood arrived
at noon last Wednesday. They were
accompanied by Col. r. V. Ratchford
and Maj. Frank Craddock, of Gov.
Vardaman's staff, and are guests at
the Stone Hotel. Gen. Keesler and
his staff called upon them at he hotel
soon after their arrival, and the par
ty later witnessed the dress parade
as guests of Col. Walter Weaver, pay
master Of the National Guard.
The evenings are all devoted to
pleasure. The Second Regiment band
plays nightly at Lake Park, and there
are always large crowds present to
enjoy both the music and the dane
ing. Some dissatisfaction has been
expressed because those who enter
the pavilion are compelled to pay ad-
mission, and a few people have open
ly criticised the management of the
street railway company, thinking that
the company received the money coll
lected from the dancers and specta-
tors. Such, however. is not the case.
The pavilion has been turned over to
the military men for the encampment
period, and the money collected is
nishes the dance music.
Friday was an eventful day at the
camp, as it marked the coming of
Governor Vardaman, the distinguish
ed chief executive of the State and
commander-in-chief of the Mississippi
National Guard An account of Gov.
Vardaman's arrival and of the cor
dial reception accorded him is pre-
sented elsewhere in this paper.
A hard rain came up just after the
conclusion of dress parade Friday
afternoon. The rain was accompan-
led by an exceedingly brisk wind, and
several tents We're blown down. The
damage, however, was quickly re-
paired, and the soldiers did not mind
the momentary Inconvenience entail
ed by the storm, as the weather had
previously been very dry and good
rain was needed to settle the dust.
There will be many interesting
events at Camp Columbus today, and
there will no doubt be a large num-
ber of sightseers who will visit the
camp grounds during the course of
the day. Guard mount will occur at
nine a. M, after which there will be
an inspection of quarters by Major
General Keesler. At 1890 a. N.

Was Net at Depot by Members OF
Stan and Cavalry Troop Under
the Command of Cap

Hon. Jas. K. Vardaman, governor
OF Mississippi and commander : in
chief of the State National Guard,
arrived in the city Friday afternoon,
and was received with the enthusi-
asm and adulation to which his dis
tinguished position entities him. The
governor arrived over the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad shortly after o'clock,
and was met at the depot by Major
General Keesler and staff and cav
airy troop A, under command of Cap
tain Cavett. Governor Vardaman was
escorted to Camp Columbus by a
guard Of honor composed of the staff
officers and the cavalry troop, and as
the party entered the camp grounds
the governors salute of seventeen
guns was fired.
The party arrived at camp just in
time for the dress parade, and the

ternoon was executed by the soldiers
in a splendid manner. The men show

A high wind prevailed during the
parade and every flag stood out gaily
in the breeze, giving the scene an
exceedingly picturesque appearance.
In conversation with a Dispatch
reporter yesterday Governor Varda-
man said that he wanted to thank the
people of Columbus not only for the
enthusiastic greeting which he re-
ceived, but for the cordial treatment
accorded the officers and members of
the State National Guard who are
here in attendance upon the encamp-
ment. This sentiment is shared by
Gen. Keesler and every member of
the gallant body of men which he
commands. They one and all express
themselves as being overwhelmed by
the kindness and cordiality of the
Columbus people and their efforts to
contribute to the pleasure of the SOL
diers. This sentiment is reciprocated
on the part of the people of Column
bus, who are charmed with the mil
itary men and their so1dfer-like bear
ing. There has been no drunkenness
or rowdyism of any kind. the men
having deported themselves In an
orderly and circumspect manner.
They have at all times been urbane
and polite, and whenever ladies en-
ter a crowded street car the men in
the khaki uniforms are among the
first to vacate their seats The SOL
diers have shown in many ways that
they are not only well trained In
military tactics, but possess the in
nate chfva1ry and Difference for the
gentler sex which marks them as true
Southern gentlemen

NEW YOKh STOCK MARKET

New York, April 3.-The movement
OF the stock market today was regarded
rather as a reflection OF the shifting
sentiments of professional operators
than as representing any changes i'll
conditions and affairs. The market
tends to fall more and more into the
hands of professional operators with
the completion Of the transactions b.
those prompted by more substantial
and sustained considerations. The
development of most consequences was
the relating tendency Of money, which,
stock dealings. Receding money rates
were the rule at all the great financial
centers of the world. The banks have
gained on s~ub-treasury operations since
the last bank statement IS, 244. 1000.
They received today c~onsignments Of
upwards Of 81, 900, 900 of the gold secur-

change indicates also a morement Of
currency in favor of New York. While
the stock market was little affected by

and a largely increased demand. This
is a development regarded with great
interest owing to its tendency 60 cor
rect the w~ater-logged condition which
has existed in the bond market for
months, and to take up the congestion
of many issues long unmarketable in
the hands of syndicates and bankers.
The New York sub-treasury already
has paid over to the banks upwards Of
SIT, 900, 900 of customs revenues, max
ing it evident that the treasury dc.
partment is not limiting it's deposits of
this kind to the SIS, 900, 900 of accumu-
lated customs receipts first ordered de-
posted under the authority Of the new

The treasury circular ordering the
refunding of $4,000, 900 Of the 4 per
cents of 1907 at maturity on July End,
and the redemption in cash of the rest
of the issue is regarded by bankers
as promising additional assurance Of
resources for the money market.
Prices Of stocks novel downwards

a speculative favorite in the late rise

the closing tone was irregular.
