Arrests His Mother.

Fremont, Nebraska.-To make
sure his wedding to Miss Eva Belle
Hainer would not be interrupted and
a scene created, Winfield S. Uhlers,
young society and bushes man,
caused the arrest of his mother, Mrs.
Idella S. Uhlers, on an insanity
charge.
Uhlers is not yet of age, but he had
obtained the consent Of both his moth
er and his father, the parents having
been divorced some time ago. Not
only had his mother acquiesced in his
marriage, but she had sent the young
pair a wedding present. Yesterday
morning she went to the Hainer home,
which had been decorated for the COM
ing event, demanded the present and
raised such storm Of protest that
the son had her arrested.
The wedding went went through
without interruption, and when the
insanity suit against Mrs. Uhlers IS
heard there will be no prosecution.

Many Protest.

It is evident that should the move
ment be successful which has been
in progress for some time to secure
a pardon for Mrs. Angie Birdsong,
the slayer of DR.. Thomas Butler, at
Monticello, who stands convicted and
under sentence to serve a fve-year
term in the penitentiary, it will be
so over very determined and active
opposition. AS indicated previously,
this opposition has been generated in
Lawrence county, the home of DR..
Butler, whose friends and relatives
are determined to keep up the fight
on Mrs. Birdsong to the drop of the
flag, after every recourse for clemency
has been resorted to, and it is ex-
pected that a strong fight will be
made before the governor next Mon
day afternoon, at which time the ex-
ecutive has stated to Zoe Dale and
others that he will hear their presen,
tation Of facts.

Garbage Crematory.

After months and years of patient
effort, hammering and projecting, the
city of Jackson is at last the owner
OF garbage crematory, and the plant
has ben given successful trial and
will be received finally from the
contractor. This does away with the
necessity for trash piles in suburban
fields and on vacant lots in thinly-
settled districts, as everything is haul
ed direct to the rubbish destroyer"
where the consuming flame is coa-
stantly alight and the work of de-
struction quick and complete. The city
recently voted bond issue for this
purpose as well as for the building of
a city stable and the result is already
being seen by the practical-minded,
and that these utilities are good in
vestments is evident from the very
first.

No Black Hand ct Gnlfnort.

There is no foundation in the re-
port that Italians are hooking to Gulf
port. In an interview with the differ
ent shipping masters it was positive
ly denied. The Italian bark Oriana
was forced to ship a crew composed
mostly of Norwegians on account
of the scarcity of Italian seamen.
The Chief of Police and his staff have

they are an unknown quantity in this

their colony. There is no Black Hand

Bankers Complain.

One of the most important cases
yet filed with the interstate commerce
commission under the ne,- railroad
rate Law was presented today by the
American Bankers Association.
In brief the complaint alleges that
the express companies Of the United
States. through the power and facil-
tiles as common carrier are usurping
the preorgatives of the banking assoc
citation and at the same time are us
ing the capital of the banks Of the
country in the conduct Of their bust
ness. It is alleged that the opera
lions of the express companies in the
conduct of their exchange business Is
seriously detrimental to the interests
of the banks and that the use Of the
interstate facilities and the relations
which the express companies have
with the railroads, enable the COM
panies seriously to discriminate
against regular commercial operations
of the banking institutions.
The Southern Express Company IS
included in the complaint.

The British government is taking
considerable interest in legislation eG-
acted in this country on the subject
of 9 future" dealing Secretary of
State Power received letter from
the British consulate in New Orleans,

enacted In Louisiana and Mississippi
on the subject of future dealing. The
request is made that Secretary Power

ETCCESSFUL REVIVAL.

Sunday was great day for the
Gates rivival forces. The trains
brought to the city .nany church
workers from surrounding towns who
have been awakened to religious zeal
and enthusiasm by reports Of the phe-
nomenal success of the revival, and
there were hundreds Of visitors from
out-of-town points to attend the af-
ternoon and night services.
The length of the revival remains
indeterminate. 1t may be brought to
a close within few days, or may
continue month, all depending on
the future measure Of success. Con-
verts are being added to the list in
the evangelist's Life Book at the rate
of from fifty to seventy per day, and
Mr.. Gates declines to venture any ex-
preston or opinion as to how long he
will labor in jackson. He has stirred
the community to its depths, and
while substantial results are being
achieved, and he is able to bear the
physical strain, it is unlikely that
the revival will be brought to close.
Public interest is so intense that
the Coliseum commences to fill an
hour or more before each service, and
only the early corners are able to
get good seats at the Sunday services.
The business men Of the city are still
closing their stores and Offices during
the forenoon worship hours.

that the appointment Of another ne

partment provides Jim Grow =
reservation for them, may result in
majority Of the white draughtsmen

LUMBER PLANTS
CLOSING DOWN
HALF OF MILLS OF STATE NOT
IN OPERATION.
BIG APPROPRIA T 10 N
Wisconsin Appropriates 100000 for
Vicksburg Military Park, While
Michigan Appropriates Ten Thous-
and More.

More than one-half the lumber
manufacturing plants in the piney
woods belt Of Mississippi have closed
down or are running on shortened
time, and epors fom that section Of the
state that many others are preparing
to do so during the first week in July.
The closing Of mills is reflected III
the decided decrease Of the volume Of
domestic shipments through Jackson
during the past ten days, the deliy-
ering made by the Ship Island road
to this point having slumped more
than forty per cent. as compared with
the traffic three months ago, while a
corresponding descrease is shown in
shipments originating at points along
the Illinois Central.
This is the season when the mill
men generally close for repairs, but IN
majority Of instances the plants
have closed down in order to curtail
the output and give bouyancy to the
market. Apropos Of the market as a
refutation of the charge that lum-
Der trust is in existence, and declare
that If there is a lumber trust it is
time that it should do something 20
help the market.
The mills will resume operations
during the early autumn, just at the
period when the cotton crop COM
mences to move, and the old cry OF
the millman declaring hat fancy
the minllmen declaring that fancy
prices will then prevail but they will
be unable to get enough cars to de-
liver the manufactured product.

ers union has adopted resolutions
calling on the convention Of the West
ern Federation Of Miners in session,
at Denver to expel Thomas Booher, a
delegate from the Butte union, who
made a vicious attack on the United
States flag last week.
The union denounces the utterance
of Booher. It is likely that action
will be taken by the Butte union to
expel Mooher from its membership.
Booher has returned to Butte and ex-
pressed regret for the remarks he
made in the heat Of debate.

100000 Appropriation.

An additional appropriation of
$4,000 for the erection of monu-
ment in the Vicksburg National Mil
itary Park has been made by the
Michigan legislature. Capt. w. L.
Rigby received word to this effect
and was much gratifed at the news.
Michigan had already appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose. The state
had nine commands at the siege Of
Vicksburg.
Capt. Rigby is much pleased at tae
receipt Of the news that Wisconsin
had made an additional appropriation
of 100000 for state memorial IN
the military park here. Capt. s~igoy
believes this increase in appropriation
by Wisconsin will have a bearing on
inducing the Ohio legislature to make
an additional appropriation. Ohio has
already spent $4,000 in erecting SO
monuments and 20 markers in the
park here, but there is no state mem
orial.
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and now
Wisconsin, neighboring states, have
all made appropriations for state me-
MORALS here, and it is believed the
Ohio legislature will feel that OH.
can not afford to lag behind In this
respect.

Dear Sir: Read what r. S. Brooks
of Mt. Sterling. H., says about a paint
job in his town.
Brooks sells Devoe lead-and-zinc
paint
Edward Harper came into the store
and picked out colors for painting his
house. He said he needed IL gallons
for body and 5 gallons for trimmer; he
based his estimate on the advice of q
leading painter and another dealer who
handles leading brand of mixed paint.
Mr.. Brooks took the dimensions of
the house, and said it could be done
with gallons for body and 21a gallons
for trim, if he used Devoe's lead-and-zinc
paint. Harper didn't believe it could
be done; but he did it; 91s gallons in.
stead of II.
Mr.. Harper was so enthusiastic that
he got big Devoe sign and put it ur
in conspicuous place at his house.
Devoe is certainly another name fol-
