COL. W. F. TUCKER ARRESTED
Daughter of Mrs. John A. Logan
Swesrs Out Warrant.

Chicago. -Lieutenant-Colone W. F.
Tucker, paymaster of the department of
the lakes, was served Tuesday with war
rants charging him with wife abandon
ment. Mrs. Tucker is the daughter of
former Senator John A. Logan.
The warrant was read to Col. Tucker
while on a train at Decatur, ILL.,, by
Sergt. OBrien, of the Chicago police de-
partment, but no effort was made to
place the army official under arrest.
Chief Shippy declared later that he had
learned that Col. Tucker was on his
way to a Hot Springs sanitarium, under
a general order issued by the command
er of the department of the lakes, and
that his subordinates had been instructed
not to interfere with the journey.
Army officials informed Chief Shippy
today that Col. Tucker was seriously ill
and that a return to Chicago at this
time might be fatal to him.

FATHER AND SON PARTED
Father Goes to Poorhouse, Son to
Industrial School.

Memphis, Tenn.-Poverty stricken
handicapped by the loss of his eyesight
since childhood, and believing that his
days on earth are numbered, j. d. Kel
Ter, 40 years old, accompanied by his II
year-old son, Tuesday sought admission
to the Shelby county poor house, with
a request that his son Tom be sent to
the Industrial School.
Il. "Well, Captain, I've got to give up
my boy, but l want you to send him to
the Boys Industrial School, where he
can stay, learn a trade and be we'll cared
for. AS for me, it doesn't matter much,
as | have consumption and haven't much
longer to stay in this world. l have
done the best l could and cared for my
boy as long as l was able to look after
him, but | have no more money, and no
means of obtaining any"
Hard luck tales have been heard be-
fore by the officers, but never before has
such a pathetic scene been witnessed,
and when the above story was related to
Capt. Perry, which was followed by the
parting-probably forever-of father
and son, after fighting the hardships of
the world hand in hand, the scene was
too much, and the crowded room was
soon empty.

SOLDIERS ON GUARD At JAIL
Fear White Man May Be Lynched
for Murder.

Greenburg, Kan.-State troops are
guarding in the county jail here Sam
Bitter, charged with numbering Mrs. John
Rosenberger, neal Belvidere, this county,
last spring. Fear of a lynching is re-
sponsible for soldiers by Sheriff Stephen
son.
Mrs. Rosenberger was the wife of a
wealthy ranchman living eight miles
south of town. One day she drove to
Belvidere, fifteen miles southeast of here.
When she did not return her husband
became alarmed. He notified his neigh
bors by the rural telephone, and they
all turned out. In a path off the main
highway her body was found. To the
left of the body the tracks of a morse
were found. One shoe of the horse was
off. A shoe may be Bitler's undoing.
The trail led to Bitler's house.

Features of the Fair.

Secretary and Manager Mckay O
the Mississippi industrial exposition
has scored q success by making ar.
rangements with the telegraph com
panies to furnish the association with
the detailed returns of the nationa,
election, on the night OF Nov. 3, al
which date the exposition will be ir
full swing. Figures from every point
of the political compass will be shown
on the screens that are to be provided
on the grounds.
The military band Of the Agricul
tural and Mechanical college has been
secured. and will be in attendance dur.
ing the entire time.
AS to the prospects, the outlook has
never been better thus far in advance
OF the date, with everything in the
liberal arts and mercantile departments,
to say nothing of the agricultural de-
partment, taken up. AS to the last
named feature, last year it was the|best
and most attractive part of the exposi'
ton, and it is beyond doubt that it will
be even better this year.
Who Are Taxpayers.
The president of the board of super
visOrs Of Neshoba county asks Attor-
ney-General Fletcher for a construction
OF the term Taxpayer" as used in sec
ton 354l of the code, viz: Whether
the term applies to persons paying
taxes On property only, or whether it
applies to payers of road and poll tax.
In his answering opinion the attor-
ney-general says: "This Office has here
totOre held that the term taxpayer as
used in section 1881, has reference to
persons who pay a property tax, and
does not include individuals paying
only poll tax or Communication poll tax.
l reaffirm that holding, since it is man
lfest that the question must depend
upon the will of the persons who will
be thereby affected by the imposition
OF the taxes. 1t is clear that persons
without property would lot in any way
be interested in the question whether
not a special school tax should be
levied, since they would not be required
to pay any part of the levy"

Westerners Coming South.

A. u. Campbell has just returned
from a business trip through Illinois,
where he has been trying to interest
men of means in Mississippi lands. and
finds that many of them are already
holders of goodly tracts down this way,
and that others are only awaiting an
opportunity to buy. MI. Campbell
says the people of the middle west are
just beginning to realize and to appre-
ciate the wonderful natural resources
of the South, and to consider farming
lands in this section worth the little
money it takes to buy them. The Hi
nois Central railroad has been ham,
mering the truth into the teeming mil
lions along its lines in the middle and
northwest for years, and has finally
started the tide in this direction.
Thousands of sturdy western farmers
are settling here every year, and it is
predicted that from now on they will
come in even greater numbers.
The Silver Service Fund.
Gov. Noel made the following state
ment relative to the work that is in
progress for the raising of the battle
ship silver service fund:
"There was $500 which had been
collected up to the time of the selection
of Mrs. Eunice Lockwood, and since
then. through Mrs. Lockwood and 9TH
ers assisting her, $1,000 more has been
subscribed and 81, 1874. 80 paid in to her.
Mrs. Lockwood has done splendid work,
as have also others who have been asso-
with her in different sections.
If the same aid is given to her from
until January, considering the
better conditions, it is probable that
81, 500 or more will be raised by that
time, which will be enough to pay for
a very creditable silver service for the
