Gov. Wilson has made the following
statement in connection with reported
interview in Denver, Col, with Charles
Finley, the fugitive from Kentucky, in
which Finley is quoted as saying that
Gov. Wilson had written to w. S.
Taylor saying that he would write in
viting him to return to Kentucky as
soon as conditions here should quiet
down sufficiently;

to Mr.. Taylor. In fact, have never
written to him since he left Kentucky,

Nothing uncertain about the work of
Doans Kidney pills in Kentucky. There
is plenty of positive proof of this in the

C0URTING DEATH.
The Work Of the Mounted Police of
Canada In the Northwest.

The Northwest policeman first duty
is to die if that should be necessary.
He is not allowed to shoot a desper-
ado, go up. sit on his carcass. roll a
cigarette and then read the warrant
He must not shoot. At all events he
must not shoot first, which is often
fatal, for if there is time when delay
is dangerous it is when you are cover
ing an outlaw, writes Cy Warman in
the Sunday Magazine.
Numbers of the force have been
known TO ride or walk into the very
mouth Of a cooked As Colt and never
finch. In about ninety-eight cases out
of every hundred the man behind the
gun weakened. In the other two cases
he extended his lease of life. but made
his going dOubly sure. When a mount
ed policeman falls, the open space he
leaves is Immediately closed. for back
of him stands the Dominion govern
ment AMI back of that the British en-
pire. SO the desperate who thinks he
can kill and get away has hard time.
If the police chase him out of the Do
mlnion back to the islands. he is likely
to fetch up at Scotland Yard. If his
native village lies south of the forty
ninth, the Pinkertons take up his trail.
and when all these forces are after a
man his days are gliding swiftly by.

Linen Dresses For Next Summer

The first linen dresses are very short
and this may mean that the street
dresses of next summer are to be like
those of the previous two seasons, short,
rather full around the foot and girl1sh in
their cut They clear the ground by
an ankle length, and it must be con-
fessed that many are still shorter.
In the linens one sees many new tones.
White is always desirable. But the
mustard-colored linens are very pretty,

buff, are to be seen. They are made

JOHN TRIPLETT WILL
BEING CONTESTED

The will of the late John Trip
lette which was probated soon
after his death in 1906, is now
under contest in the Chancery
Court of this county. The case
was up at the regular March term
and by agreement of COUNSEL with
the Chancellor the first day of
April was named to hear it. AS
IS usual in the contest of wills a
jury was summoned to hear the
evidence and decide the facts in
the case. A venire of twenty
names was drawn from the Jury
box and the jury duly summon
ed.
At the opening of court the
questions of law was frs dis
cussed and the entire morn
ing was taken up in settling the
legal points involved. In the
afternoon a jury composed of the
following was empanelled: w.
=, Cruber. J. K. Estes, J. S.
Spencer. Frank Payne, E. M.
" MWltherspoon, A. H. Mcfarland,
/; W. Lauderdale, A. H Sorry,
W. p: Stevens. T. H. Gibson, L.
Z. Gibson, Fred Mabry.
The evidence of witnesses and
dispositions taken was then pre-
sented to the jury, who up to the
time of going to press had not
reached a verdict.
In the will Mrs. Mariah Yancv
OF illinois becomes the legatee.
This is her contention. The COM
plalnants are Leah and Hugh
Benbrcok, a. grand niece and
nephew of Mr.. Triplette, son and
daughter of a sister of Mrs. Yam
cy, who is a non compos mentis.
and, who is nov, and has been
for a number Of years confneI
IN an insane hospital in Illinois.
The complainants contend thai
Mr.. Trlplette was unduly infuen-
edce to make the will as it is pro-
bated and that it was his desire
that both Mrs. Yancy and Mrs.
Benbrook, and her heirs should
share alike in the distribution OF
his property. Mrs. Benbrook's
children make the contest as their
mother cannot come into court on
her own account to do so. The
property involved amounts to
something more than $4,000.
most OF the properly is in Tupelo
real estate, the hotel at the Union
station being the most valuable.
There is also some money which
Mr.. Triplette had on hand at the
time of his death.
The complainants are represen-
ted by 0. K. Gary, and Mitchell
and Clayton. TIE defendants by

A Practical Joker.

Mr.. E. NJ. Witherspoon, of our city,
has a nephew living in Columbus Ar
kansas. who is a practical joker. He
handed his uncle one last week that is
too good to be enjoyed only by by the
neighbors who are glad that it a joke,
rather than reality. This nephew,
who by the way, is named Wilson,
wrote his uncle tnat he had a couple Of
small burros that he had no use for,
and he would send them to him. Mr..
Witherspoon, not having children of
the age that covets the burro, with his
melodious voice and agile ways, was in
a quandary as what disposition he could
make of his present. He promised all
the children that they should have a
ride on them, and he would then sell
them. He let it be known that the
burros were on the market and tried to
find purchaser. While he was nego-
tiating sale he went to the postoffice
one morning and received a tiny box.
In this box were the burros, little toy
fellows. The burros are not for sale,
but will be kept as reminder of the
practical joker from Arkansaw.

Gone To The Printers.

Secretary of State Power has for
warded to the public printers the final
batch of manuscript for the session
acts of 1908. with the request that the
work be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The volume will contain 296 chapters,
each act and concurrent resolution be-
ing considered chapter, and this rep
resents the total legislation enacted at
the recent session.
While the number of bills actually
passed by the lawmakers is larger than
for several years. the amount of gener-
al legislation. or statutes of public in
terest, was, smaller than usual. Sew
eral of the new laws are of exceptional
length, notable instances being the act
creating the Tallahatchie Drainage
district, and the Boddie bill abolishing
bucketshops. About 100 of the new
laws passed are local and private
measures.

With this issue the Journal be.
gins the thirty-sixth year of its
existence. During the one-third
of a century that it has labored
for the upbuilding of the town,
the county and the state, it has
seen revelation in progress and
material improvement. When it
was established Tupelo was a
struggling village with inferior
framed buildings both for build
ings and residences and with but
a limited trade. Today we are
proud that we can say that
throughout these years the acu-
men and sound judgment of the
progressive men who have -di-
rected its various enterprises and
affairs have made of it one of the
most up-to-date and progressive
little cities of the South. We are
just beginning, however, to grow
and we predict that before the
Journal has passed the century
mark there will bemoce than 1O0,-
900 inhabitants in Tupelo.
This issue begins the new year
for the Journal and closes the
tenth year under it's present man
agement. The paper has enjoy
ed a liberal share of public bus
mess but has had its ups and
downs. Before another year
closes, in fact, the lot has already
been secured upon which we hope
to get erected a commodious and
convenient office. In order to do
this it becomes absolutely necess-
ary that every penny due the
Journal must be collected. We
hope our friends will appreciate
the situation and will remit
promptly when statements are
sent to them.
