Daily News Special.
Brooklyn, Miss, September 16.-On
the night Of the 18th, Perkins & Co.
store was broken into and an immense
quantity of goods taken, consisting of
jewelry, knives, razors and clothing of
of all description. The first entered
the school building, where there are
too ante rooms of which the Knights
of Pythias and Woodmen of World use
for their regalia room.
They broke into both of these rooms
and scattered the regalia over the
room and took little dark lattern
the Woodmen of World used, and after
breaking in Perkins & Co.'s store they
left the lantern there. Some of the
Woodmen of the World said they had
one of their rachels, but as to the X.
of p, they rolled up their rachels into
an old curtain cloth and left them in
the building. They entered the Perk-
ms & Co. store at window over the
shed room, and going to the gun case
they took a double barrel shot gun
out and loaded 1t with the largest shot
they could find, which was No. A
squirrel, and began their ransacking.
They seemed to have lot of trouble
in finding the right sizes of pants as
they scattered them all over the floor
and counters, and was the same way
with the shoes, and it seems as if they
were hunting a number nine shoe.
Eight and one half and mines were the
numbers mostly pulled down. Hats
and shirts were also scattered badly
and cannot tell how much of either
they have taken but think. they got as
much as they could carry handy.

Don't know how many suit cases
they took but know they got one, as it
was some trouble, it seems to work
the lock and they used one of the
knives and pried off the lock, leaving
the lock and knife there.
There is no certainty as to whether
there were two or three of them. but
it is thought there was but two, while
other signs indicate that there were
three of them in the school building.
They were easily tracked for three or
four miles toward Make, and it is be-
lieved that they caught the through
freight train at a certain grade near
Make. The gun they loaded in the
store was found at the switch about
100 yards from the store, and from the
sign it made on the ground showed
that it was thrown off the train while
running, as the stock of the gun plow-
ed up the ground pretty sharply.
This is the third time that the Per-
kins & Co. store has been robbed in
the last year and half, and some one
said that it was getting most too
regular and would have to be stopped,
and think so too, but would suggest
that they have bars of iron put before
the naked windows and also shutters
made to keep the people from walking
in.
There was neither bars nor shutters,
but there was broken window pane
and all the thief had to do was to go
upon the shed room and walk in. We
hope to get the outlaws and let them
reap their reward which would be for
grand larceny.

San Francisco, September 49,
Growers of the festive grape in every
section of California have formed
protective organizations to fight the
prohibitive movement which is now
sweeping over the country and will
hold directors meeting today at
which final plans for the anti-wet
crusade will be decided upon.
An assessment of 25 cents per acre
will be levied upon all grape growers
in the association in order to secure
funds for carrying on the educa-

and inches in length. This reamrk-
able stalk is on exhibition at a local
bank, and in the field from which it
was cut there are many other stalks
nearly as high. The highest ear on
the stalk is feet and Z inches above
the ground, and only giant could
husk it without using a step-ladder.
Practically the entire field will have
to be cut before the corn can be
husked, as most of the ears are at
too great a height to be reached by
the ordinary man.

association to counterfeit the influence
of the prohibition movement and edu-
cate the American people to the
proper use of wine at meals.
Vineyardists and wine men declare
that the general use of wine would
wipe out the evils of intemperance
and that the grape growers are the
true friends of temperance.
The organization has now spread to
every part of the state where grapes
are extensively grown and it will
probably make it's influence felt
throughout the United States.

land Waterways association on May
IA. On the afternoon of May Is Mrs.
Roosevelt gave garden party on the
White House grounds for all the dele
gates to the convention. At the vari-
Gus hotels in Washington arrange
ments were made for smaller recep-
lions and dinners.
All of the governors who accom-
panied President Roosevelt on his Mis-
sissippi river trip last fall were pres

Broward of Florida, Deneen Of Illi-
sas, Blanchard of Louisiana, Folk of
Missouri Shelton of Nebraska, Cuny

kota, Frantz of Oklahoma, Chamber
lain of Oregon, Davidson of Wisconsin

That the conference attracted world
wide interest was evidenced by the
fact that many of the foreign diplc-
mats at Washington followed the af-
fairs of the convention closely.
Those who were in close touch with
the conference arrangements declare
they have never known another move
ment which has been greeted with
such quick and enthusiastic popular
approval.
An indication of public opinion was
afforded by the great mass of CORE
spondence which poured into the
White House on this subject. Organi-
cations of all sorts expressed realiza-
ton of the greatness of the enter
prise.
That conservation of national re-
sources is nothing about which the
political parties wish to raise an is
sue is indicated by the attitude of the
Democratic leaders. Both William j.

presidential nomination, wrote to

count
In his letter of invitation to the
conference President Roosevelt said:
There is no other question now
before the nation of equal gravity
with the question of conservation of
our natural resources, and it is the
plain duty of us who, for the moment,
are responsible, to take inventory OF
the natural resources which have been
handed down to us, to forecast the
needs of the future, and so handle the
great sources of our prosperity as
not to destroy in advance all hope OF
the prosperity of our descendants"
The need for such conference Is
illustrated by few facts vouched for
by investigators. Government experts
say that between 100000 900 and AGO.
0OO, 900 tons of coal were lost in 1906
by penny wise and pound foolish
methods, and that the total so wasted
since the beginning Of the industry
is 5O,0O0,O0O, tons. Millions upon
millions of horsepower are going to
waste through failure properly to
utilize and conserve the waterpower Of
the United States.
The construction Of reservoirs at
the sources of streams in which flood
waters may be stored to be released
at periods of low water is expected
not only to keep the waters at a con-
tinuous level, but prevent the destruc-
ton of property by floods, maintain
constant levels for navigation and to
develop water power.
At the present rate of timber con-
sumption 1t is estimated that the price
of every kind of lumber will be about
double the present price only one de-
cade from to-day.
1t Is said that the total iron ore
available in the world to-day is U.s.
600, 900, 900 tons, of which three-fifths
is in the United States. Should the
rate of consumption continue to in
crease in the United States In the
same ratio that it has in the course of
the last score of years, at the end Of
two centuries there would be no
more ore to be mined.
In the United States there is an area
of IT'S 100000 acres Of land susceptible
to reclamation by irrigation, and $780,
100000 acres of western public range
which may be made available for IN
creased production of meat by restrict
Ing the grazing and reseeding portions
which have been destroyed by unre-
stricted grazing. With this area
made available once more, II is esti.
mated that its meat producing capae
lty will be nearly doubled.
