The past week in realty circles has been
generally quiet in all sections of the city.
With the exception of the residence Sec
tion there has been comparatively little
trading in any portion. The market, how
ever, was somewhat more active yester-
day than on the preceding days, and local
realty agents expect the market to be
more active next week Prices remain
steady,
The proper papers were filed in the
probate clerks office yesterday recording
the following transactions in local real

| Lumber company has also recently let
a contract for the extension of Its road
northward distance of some ten miles.
The Dantzler company wants to pene-
trate farther into It's timber holdings in
order to get out the storm-strewn logs
The Dantzler line running northward Is
in direct line with the proposed Missis-
sippi Central extension southwark, and
IL the two roads were to consolidate there
would be a gap of not more than thirty
five miles to fill in. But the Mississippi
Central authorities state positively that
there is absolutely no connection physical
or financial between the two roads.
Not until recently have the people Of
South Mississippi taken much interest in
the progress of work on the Baton Rouge,
Hammond and Eastern line, Its opera
tions were confined mostly to the western
portion of its proposed route,s and the
eastern portion was given little more than
a general reference in the plans of the
company. But now it appears that the
company Is grading and laying rails at
rapid rate, and will soon invade South
Mississippi with all the facilities for rapid
railroad construction. 1t will make a juno
ton with the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
City at Merrill, only few miles above
Pascagoula, and convenient also to Mo-
bile. If ii continues its present rate of
construction through the coming year 1t
will be well advanced through South Mis-
sissippi before the end of the current
twelvemonth.
The Birmingham and Mississippi South
ern is a projected line, which, though 1t
has no substance yet except on paper, is
regarded as one of the certainties of the
near future. Those who are behind 1t in
Mississippi are known to be men of SUBJ
stance, and on this enterprise they have
expended hard and earnest labor. The
promoters now declare that they have
the assurance of all the backing that Is
necessary, that they will be having the
earth flying Just as soon as the necessary
specifications can be drawn by the en-
gineers for the use of the contractors, and
that there Is enough money behind 1t to
make il possible TO build the road in
short time. starting the contractors at
half dozen points alond the road stimuli
taneously. The preliminary survey has
just been made by a Chicago engin<r,
who has not only made notes Of the topo-
graphical features to be penetrated, but
has also gained reliable information about
the quantity of traffic that awaits the

the company does not make a secret
of Its purpose to attack the southeastern
extension when the connection with the
Mississippi river shall have been perfected
Work on the Edward Hines Lumber
company line from Poplarville to Gulf
port will be commenced as soon as the
spring opens up, and gives promise OF
open weather for the contractors. This
road will be hurried through, for it is de-
signated to open up the fallen timber
country for purposes of marketing, and
if it is not completed quickly it might as
well not be commenced. 1t has ample
capital, being backed by such men as
Weyerhauser and other milling interests,
the largest in the world The road Is
already surveyed, and liberal terminal
facilities have been provided at Gulfport
by Captain Jones' The completion of this
road will mean also the construction of
another pier at Gulfport equal in extent
and cost to that now maintained by Cap
tain Jones.
There istalk of the construction of
line by the Goodyears from some point ON
the Great Northern to Gulfport, but this
cannot be figured as one of the reliable
enterprises of the coming season. for
though the Goodyears have the ability 10
build the road whenever they determine
to do so, there has never been any au
along that line.
While such big and promising projects
as the Mississippi Central, the Baton
Rouge, Hammond and Eastern, the Bir-
mingham and Mississippi Southern, the
Mobile Jackson and Kansas City, and
even the F'risco-Rock Island, are credit
ed with a purpose to get into the port of
Pascagoula first and to develope that
magnificent harbor, the indications are
that Pasc9 goula will get It's connection
with the outside world first by a more
modest enterprise During the last week
OF the year just closed the Denny Lum-
Der company of Scranton, owners of
first class standard gauge logging line
running some twenty miles northward
from Pascagoula let the contract for the
building of the gap to connect the north
ern end of its road with Donovan, a sta
ton on the Mobile, jackson and Kansas
City road, near the Alabama Mississippi
boundary line. The Denny road. while
originally planned for logging purposes
solely, has been brought to as good con-
dition as the average of new railroads the
country over 1t has standard rails, it's
roadbed is substantial and heavy steel
bridges span all the streams that are
crossed With a connection at Donovan
the road will put on regular passenger
and freight service, and Scranton and
Pascagoula will be able to make northern
connections everywhere

Money.maklna in the Philippines.

Hamilton Wright in Leslies Weekly.
The call of the Philippines is for capital,
and there Is no country where its invest
ment will yield a richer return. Think Of
what can be done in the great staples,
tobacco, sugar and hemp. on October 3
OF last year, there had been shipped into
San Francisco from Illinois some eight
thousand tons of sugar, on which was
paid a duty Of $2l3,2l9. Sugar can be
brought from Manila to San Francisco
for three dollars and half a ton. 1t can
be- brought from Manila to New York in
steam vessels for from twenty-seVen to
twenty-nne cents a hundred pounds, or
about the same rate as between Omaha
and Chicago. Sugar can be produced In
the Philippines for less than cent a
pound The fact that eight thousand tons
OF sugar was produced by the primitive
methods In use in the Philippines shipped
across the Pacific, paid a high tariff, and
sold in competition In this country indi-
Gates what Will be accomplished with
more modern methods.

tobacco, In the wonderful Cagayan val
ley of northern Luzon, one of the most
fertile valleys in all the tropic Orient, the
land produced under the tobacco monop-
oily of the Spanish government often. 1t Is
said three thousand pounds OF tobacco
an acre, which brought seventy-f1ve cents
a pound in Rotterdam. Now, after the
adjustment of the monopoly, when the
natives without supervision produced 1t
themselves they produced but one thou
sand pounds TO the acre. at about fifteen
cents a pound. The entire cost of pro-
ducng tobacco is not fifty dollars an
acre. In Spanish days the islands pro-
duced vast wealth for Spain; but the
people were continually ground down. The
local bosses forced the people to work
for them and always kept them in debt.
Now, under the American pioneer. the ma
tive is getting cash for his work, some
thing he never had before.

Pooled Faithful City omcer

One of Globes city officers while passing the Central Market yesterday stopped in and inquired if the plumbing was in a sanitary condition. He had not time to receive an answer before he noticed that the store certainly had large supply of fresh limburger cheese. He immediately made a pur- chase and was greatly bothered on his way home by friends inquiring where he had secured the same. On stating that he had purchased the cheese from the Central Market, naturally caused a great rush to the establishment, which was handled in a creditable manner by it's efficient employees.
 Besides our limburger, we have a large supply of Swiss cheese, oysters in bulk and can, and everything good that tickles the palate. Give us trial and follow the push.

A GHAsTLY DISCOVERY CLEARS A MYSTERY THAT PERPLExED
 THE AUTHORITIES
TRAGEDY FOLLOWED QUARREL AND PISTOL TELLS STORY
 OF THE CRIME
It Is Believed that E. F. Bennett Mur- dered His Wife and Then Turned the Deadly Weapon Upon Himself Cor oner's Inquest Is Held.

BISBEE, Ariz., September 27.-Find- ing the bodies of E. F. Bennett, negro of this city, and his wife, Ollie Ben nett, on the prairie about midway be- tween Don Luis and the Warren ranch this morning, clears the myster of their sudden disappearance after buggy ride Sunday afternoon and points to the theory of murder and suicide on the part of the man.
 The ghastly discovery was made by Mexican cowboy, the same who en- countered the horse dragging the buggy over the plains shortly after the trag. edy Sunday afternoon. Stretched at the feet of his spouse was the body of Bennett and on the ground beneath him lay the weapon which dealt the grim climax to the lives of both. Their bod ies were in such an advanced state of decomposition as to be almost beyond recognition. A bullet had pierced the right breast of the woman, but the body of the man was in such a state that it was impossible to distinguish any sem blance of wound. The authorities at Lowell were notified immediately and Coroner Grier summoned jury, com. posed of the following: Jake Adams, Joe Lang, A. McAfee, George Ballard H. J. Dietier and w. F.. Roberts. In quest will be held this evening. The remains of both victims were placed in charge of the Palace undertaking establishment.
 Early Sunday afternoon Bennett hired rig from the Palace stables and in company with his wife started for a drive south of the city. This was the last seen of them until their bodies were discovered this morning. Becoming sus. picious over possible foul play on the part of the man, the relatives of the dead woman reported her absence tc the authorities, who have since been executing diligent search for trace of either of them, following the finding of the empty buggy. Domestic differences have been a prominent factor in the life of the cou pie during the past few months, it is stated, and the buggy ride Sunday wa: inaugurated on the heels of a violent quarrel between the two. However, il is stated that prior to the quarrel, tho couple had been reconciled.
 Circumstances in the case fully sub stantiate the theory of murder and sui eide. The weapon used was Colt re volver of Al caliber and of the si' chambers, five were empty.

.45 revolver which has history. The actor. manager came into possession of it in peculiar way. A few days ago bellboy at the Hotel Walcott, where the actor-manager lives, brought in to MT. Miller card on which was writ ten in a sprawly hand, Col. Alexander l.. Brodie, Arizona. The name was un. familiar, but surmising-correctly as it eventuated--that the caller was citi- zen of the picturesque commonwealth in which the first and second scenes of 'The Great Divide are located, had come to express his opinion of the play. MT. Miller decided to receive him. Presently heavy tread echoed along the corridor and there entered over six feet and 200 pounds of square-shoul. dered, rugged humanity which grasped the actor's hand with a grip which threatened destruction. MT. Miller then discovered that his visitor was none other than the redoubtable Alec Bro die, formerly lieutenant colonel of the Roosevelt Rough Riders, and later, by appointment of his former commander, governor of Arizona. On his left hand was livid scar, the reminder of a Spanish bullet received at Las Guasi- mas.
 "'l saw your show at Daly's last night, said Colonel Brodie after the exchange of greetings, and it reminded me so much of home l couldn't pass up the opportunity of coming around and telling you how much I enjoyed it. Why, when your curtain went up on your "roof of the world' scene in the second act, could almost feel my self back on the brink of the Grand Canyon. And as for the cabin in the first act, I've ranched it in many an one just like it.
 But there was one thing that was not right-your gun. Nobody out in Arizona carries nickelplated smoke wagon like yours. It would be too easy mark. In the moonlight it would be dead give-away. Our revolvers are all blue-barreled, so as to be more cas- fly concealed. Like this one.
 "And with a quick motion the Rough Rider produced from somewhere near the rear waist line formidable looking weapon, dark blue in color, save as to the handle, which was black gutta per. cha and ominously notehed.
 Now, I want you to do me fla vor, continued Colonel Brodie. And that is to wear this gun in the show. It n play the part all right. See those notchesi We'll, they mean dozen greasers and Indians that this trinket has turned into good men. I never thought it would go on the stage, but I reckon my days of fighting Indians and Mexieans are over, and that forty five wouldn t be happy if it had to lead an aimless life.
 "Mr. Miller accepted the offer gladly and the shiny pistol which did service all last season at the Princess has been relegated to Daily s property room."
