Levee Board Row Causes Tragedy

Tuniea. Miss.-Percy M. Houston. secretary and treasurer of the Yazoo and Mississippi Levee Board, was shot and almost instantly killed on the main street here Monday afternoon by ]. T. Lowe. a prominent attorney of Tunica.
 The tragedy was the result of a quarrel growing out of the recent cleo ton of the levee board and the inves- tigation into that election ordered by Governor Noel of Mississippi
 The two men had been intimate friends prior to the levee board cleo tion. In that election they became es- tranged, and Monday afternoon some words passed between them. When they met on the street, Lowe asked Houston if he had accused him of be- ing instrumental in getting the inves- tigation ordered by Governor Noel. What the reply was, or what else was said cannot be aseertained, but Lowe fired one shot, which struck Houston in the temple, and his death resulted 10 minutes later.
 Lowe was released on bond

SIS kN ACRE REALIZED OK
 CROP IN WESTERN CANADA.
ANOTHER FARMER REALIZES S22.5o PER ACRE FROM HIS
 WHEAT CROP LAST YEAR.

Charles Mccormick of Kenville, Manitoba writes:
 During the season of 1907 I had 100 acres in crop on the s. w quarter of section IS township 33. range 27 west of the Principal Meridian, Wes- tern Canada, yielded as follows:
 .S0 acres at 9 bushels per acre which sold for 90 cents per bushel. and 20 acres eats yielding 60 bushels per acre l sold for 8 cents per bushel so that my total crop realized S2 2.004- %. From this deducted for expenses of threshing. hired help. etc. si00OQ leaving ne net profit on this years crop ot over $1 600"
 Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Sas- katchewan, says:
 The value of my crop per acre of wheat is s2250. l threshed 1,750 bushels of wheat from 70 acres. and was offered 90 cents a bushel for it. Oats, 15 acres, 800 bushels; and barley, acres, S9 bushels. I do not know if I have been doing the best in this district, but I know if all the farmers were doing as well, Western Canada would have no kick coming as far as grain growing is concerned; and l further say that if you want to put this in one of your ad- yertisements, this Is true and I can put my name to it"

AN INTERESTING
 CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do it-The Result Is Almost Like Magc-UsefuI, Too.

Anything in the nature of a chem ieal experiment is always interesting and usually edueatlve. Here is a sim pie experiment which any child can perform and which is instructive in a very practical way: Get bit of White Lead about the size of pea, a piece of charcoal. a common candle in a candlestick, and blowpipe. Scoop out a little hollow in the charcoal to hold the White Lead. then light the candle. take the charcoal and lead in one hand and the biow-pipe in the other. with the large end of the blow pipe between the lips; blow the flame of the candle steadily against the bit of White Lead on the charcoal and If the White Lead is pure 1t will pres- ently resolve itself into little shining globules of metallic lead, under the intense heat of the blew-pipe. leaving no residue.
 If, however. the White Lead is aduI- terated in the slightest degree. 1t will not wholly change into lead. So, 1t will be seen, that this experiment is not only an entertaining chemical demonstration, but also of practical use in the home White Lead is the most important ingredient of paint. Il should be bought pure and unadul- terated and mixed with pure linseed oil. That is the best paint. The above easy experiment enables any one to know whether the paint Is the kind which will wear or not.
 The National Lead Company guar antee that white lead taken from a package bearing their Dutch Boy Painter trademark will prove abso- lutely pure under the blow-pipe test; and to encourage people to make the test and prove the purity of paint be- fore using it. they will send free bow-pipe and a valuable booklet on paint to anyone writing them asking for Test Equipment.

Wants States Relics.

Members of the Arkansas Historical Association are concerned over the ex- petition sent out by the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, which is now plying the Arkansas river in the steam yacht Gopher. making archaeological investigations. It is feared that valuable specimens of the work of the moundbuilders are being taken from the state, never to be re- placed and it is against this that a protest has been made by H. l.. Stod- da.d of Stuttgart, who has written to N. B. Menard who lives near Booty, asking him not to admit any outside investigators on his premises in the hope that the ancient work of the moundbuilders may be preserved for Arkansas.
 Investigations have already been made on NIT. Menards place and val uable relics secured by the expedi- tion. All bones exhumed by these scientists are required to be given over 10 the government to be placed in the National Museum.

2JO.OOO MINERS ID STOP WORK Failure 10 Reach Agreement Causes Wakout in Nine States, Embrac- ing Practically country's Soft
 Coal Fields.

Indianapolis. Ind.-The union miners in most of the soft coal fields of the country will lay down their picks and shoyels Tuesday night Almost 250.- 900 of them will stop work in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas. Oklahoma. Arkansas. Texas and probably Indiana, Illinois. Michi- gan. West Virginia and Kentucky. The mining contracts under which they are now working expire at midnight. March 31. and. except in Central Penn sylyania and in the Indiana block coal district, no new contracts have been made nor have the miners and opera tors yet entered into district agree ments providing for the operation of the mines after April pending agtee- ment
 There is q possibility of an agree ment in the Indiana bituminous coal district in Illinois, Michigan and West Virginia. The Indiana bitumious. Western Pennsylvaia and Illinois min CTS and operators are in joint session at Terre Haute, Pittsburg and Spring field
 Technically the miners will go out on strike. but in reality they will stop work because the operators, ex- cept in Indiana and Illinois, show no real intention of meeting and treating with them, although no question of wage or principle is at stake.
 Congressman W. B. Wilson is back from central Pennsylvania. where he scored the first big success in the pres ent situation by getting the Central Pennsylvania operators and miners in- to an agreement. That district will continue te work.
 That every coal mine in the Pitts burg district, with it's immense annual output of 57000,oo0 tons, will be closed down at midnight, March 31, is the assertion made by the operators who met in hard clash with the miners. The miners express themselves as will ing to make and accept several con sessions, but this, they claim, has been denied them by the operators, who. they say, seem determined to force q shutdown
