Within recent months there have
been serious accidents to naval yes

though they have. been due to a va
riety of differing causes, they may be
divided, broadly speaking, into two
classes: due to errors in maneuver

due to explosions in the ammunition
stores.
Naval officers say that such acct
dents are merely SO many manifesto

chances when he goes to sea, and that

The navy which keeps its ships and
its personnel up to an efficiency near
est to that which would actually hold

to have accidents, they say. And in
witness of this they point to the Brit

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
NARROWLY AVERTED

An accident, that came close to be.
ing serious and fatal in its conse-
quences. happened yesterday evening
about $3.50 at the crossing of the Mis-
sissippi Central with Main street.
Mrs. Hanna, wife of Mr.. E. w. Han
IA, who IS employed by Turner & Co.,
and who lives on Bay street, was out
driving and had her little three-year
old daughter, Helen, with her. They
had driven out Main street and had
started to return home and when they
went to cross the Mississippi Central
Railroad, the horse and buggy were
struck by passenger train No. 4, that
was coming in from Natchez. They
were thrown a distance of about fifty
feet and fell into ditch, just east Of
the crossing and next to~the store
on that side: The buggy, badly splin-
tered, came on tGp of them.
Mrs:--Hanna was considerably
-5ruised and her back was somewhat
injured, but the child was unhurt.
Several people saw the accident and
ran to the assistance of Mrs Hanna,
and the first thing she asked was if
her child was safe.
On the north side of this crossing
there are several stores, and it was al
most impossible for Mrs. Hanna to
have seen the train before reaching
the railroad track. An eye witness
states that when Mrs Hanna drove on
the track that she evidently saw the
train for the first time and that she
attempted to turn the horse and was
somewhat successful. else she would
have been in the center of the track
and the buggy would have been struck
in the center, and the result would
have been fatal to both herself and
her little daughter. As it was, the
horse was killed instantly, having
his head cut from the body.
1t is said by witnesses that the
train was going at a speed of not less
than ten miles an hour. This was ar
unlawful speed as the state laws fiz
the speed for incorporated towns ant
cities at not over six miles an hour
As soon as the train men saw that al
accident had occurred the train was

Darkness, TEMPORAL and Spiritual. \
"A ceptain bishop, whose diocese Is
near New York, was calling recently
upon family in that city. This
household is in possession of a. treas
ure which has become extremely rare
of late--a faithful old Irish servant,
whose term Of Office dates back nearly
a quarter Of a century. From long as
sociation with the family, she is a priv.
ileged character, and her "old coun-
try" sayings furnish a never.ending
source Of fun. She now occupies the
position of nurse to little grandchild,
who lives with the family.
On the evening of the bishops call,
he andNthe members of the household
including the youngest, Mary's
charge-were sitting in'the parlor after
dinner in the deepening twilight. Bed
time for the little one arrived. and
promptly on the houA came Mary In
search of her. In the dim light the
old woman did not notice a stranger
in the room, and, speaking with her
usual freedom, she exclaimed, peering
about for the child:
We'll, sure, ye're in the dark, like
the Protestant bishop!"
There was roar of laughter, and
the clergyman acknowledged that the
joke was undoubtedly ON him.

Jackson, Miss, July 1O.-In the
meeting of the county agesidents of
the Farmers Union yesterday, with
fifty-four counties represented, a res
olution was unanimously adopted
strongly endorsing State President G.
r. Hightower for the presidency of the
national organization.
The resolution declared that during
the six months of his incumbency as
state president, Mr. Hightower has
done more toward harmonizing the
organization itself and in winning for
it the cooperation and support of the
commercial world than any man has
ever done before, and that he has ad-
ministered the affairs of the organiza-
ton with singular ability.
The election of a national presi-
dent will takep lace at the meeting of
the nationayl organization on Septem-
Der s. The place for holding the meet
ing has not yet been decided upon,
and its selection is in the hands OF the
national executive committee. It is
stated, however, that it will be either
in this city, Forth Worth, Tex, of Ok
lahoma City, Okla, and that the Mis-
sissippi members are instructed to ex-
ert every possible effort to bring the
convention here.
No dissatisfaction is expressed with
President --lChas. S. Barrett, of At
water, Ca. but it has been given out
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election, although he has not stated
positively that he would not accept
a reelection if forced upon him.

Tells Why There is Nothing So
Good as DiapepSin to Cure
Indigestion and Sour
DiSOrdered Stomach.

The question as to how long you
are going to continue a sufferer OF
Indigestion and stomach trouble is
merely. a matter of how soon you
begin taking Diapepsln.
If your stomach is lacking in di-
gestion power, why not help the
stomach to do its work. not with
drastic drugs, but a reinforcement
Of digestive agents, such as are ma
turally at work in the stomach.
Scientific analysis shows that d.
gestion of food requires Pepsin, Nj
trogenous ferments and the secretion
OF hydrochloric acid.
Each 22-grain triangule OF Dis
pepsin. which is harmless and tastes
like candy, contains pure Aseptic
Pepsin. Disastase, Papain, Calcium
Carbonate, Tasteless Cascara, Ginger
and other natural elements necessary
to digestion, and when placed at
work in atweak stomach and small
intestines supply just what these or
gans are calling for, These Triang-
ules Of Dlapepsin promptly stimulate
the Gastric glands, increasing the dl-
gestive juices. overcoming even the
worst case .of Indigestion in little
while. Only one grain of the pure
pepsin used has proven by test to di-
