The State Militia.
The state militia of Mississippi is in
better condition today than ever before
within its history. Under the wise and
devoted direction of Adjutant General
Fridge, a degree of efficiency has been
attained which it has never enjoyed be-
fore and It is a golden augury OF what
may be accomplished in the future.
County Convicts.
One of the necessary reforms that
should be made in our penal system Is
the care or disposition of the county
convicts. No convict should be worked
under contract on public works, at saw
mills and on plantations by men who
are interested in the product Of the con-
victs toll. Some Of the most atrocious
and conscienceless crimes that have been
perpetrated in this shate are chargeable
to the county contractor. have known
the poor convict driven to exhaustion
or whipped to death to crafty the greed
or anger Of the conscienceless driver or
contractor.
The Scsth Mississippi Demand.
Taxation should be uniform, and the
burdens and blessings Of government
should rest alike on the rich and the
poor, the weak and the strong. I am
very much in favor Of the old Demo
cratic idea which is fundamental in our
system Of government ~ that there
should be representation commensurate
with taxation. Consistent with the
Of white supremacy in our
state, am heartily in favor Of giving
10 each county equal representation in
the legislature provided by the consti-
tuition Of 400, tn counties in Southern
wrs lat largely in the
nsiEmity.

DEATH CLAIMS
AMBASSADOR
Won STERNBERG
Germany's Representative to
United States Succumbs to
Long Ailment
EXPECTED TO RETURN TO POST
FOR CLOSING Weeks OF CAMAp|GW
Was Consulting Specialist for the
Malady From Which He Was Suf.
ferer-Funeral May Take Place
From Ancestral Estate.

Heidelberg, Germany, Aug. "a
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, German
ambassador to the United States. died
last night.
Baroness Won Sternberg, who was
Miss Lillian May Langham of Louis
Vile, KY, was with her husband at
the end. The baron and baroness
came here from Hamburg at the end
of last month to consult with Prof.
Vincent Czerny, the skin specialist,
concerning the malady from which
the ambassador has been suffering
for some time. After a prolonged ex-
animation of the diseased left side of
Baron Won Sternberg's head, Prof.
Czerny affirmed that the trouble was
not cancer but lupus and that he
could cure 1t. Both. the ambassador
and his wife were immensely cheered
at this opinion. Baron Won Stern
berg is described as having felt that
his long agony was near over and
that he would soon be a we'll man
again. His wife also shared that
hope. 1t had been arranged that the
baron should go to Berlin the middle
OF September to be received in audi
ence by Emperor William previous to
his return to Washington. 1t was
thought desirable that he should be
at his post during the concluding
weeks of the presidential campaign.
No arrangements yet have been
made for the funeral. The baron's
father, who Is eighty years old, lives
on the family estate near Dresden
and 1t is possible that the funeral
will take place there. Baron Won
Sternberg left New York for GERMANY
on May 16 last
Washington Informed.
Berlin, Aug. 24.-The foreign Office
on receiving a telegram from Heidle-
berg anticipating the death of Baron
Won Sternberg, the German ambassa-
dor to the United States, sent a cable
gram to Count Hermann Won Hatz-
feldt Wildenburg, German charge at
Washington, instructing him to in
form President Roosevelt that the
question of a successor to the baron
probably would not be settled until
Prince Won Buelow, the imperial chan
cellor, saw the emperor, which might
not be until the second week in Sep
tember.
Various diplomatic changes in pros
pect are to be made in October and
among them probably will be sue
cessor to the baron at Washington.
Some of the diplomats under consid-
GRAFTON for this post are. Count Won
Coatzen, Prussian minister at Ham,
burg, Herr Won Reichenau, German
minister to Brazil, and Baron Won
Schwartzenstern, ambassador to ia
pan. An American diplomatist in con-
versation with Emperor William in
January of this year, said something
complimentary of Count Won Coetzen.
Il am glad to hear you say this" re-
piled the emperor, because Count
Won Coetzen will be the next ambas-
sador to Washington"

American Tobacco Company With.
draws Buyers From State
Louisville. KY. Aug. PA story
is published here this afternoon that
the American Tobacco company has
withdrawn It's twenty-five country
buying agents from Kentucky. The
announcement comes as a complete
surprise and has caused quite a
furry among those interested in the
situation throughout the state. Fur
thermore, 1t is known that he COM
pany intends to open up headquarters
in Cincinnatti. The rumor is persis-
tant that the American intends to en-
tirely quit Kentucky. Officials of the
American Tobacco company declined
to discuss the outcome of the move.
Louisville has for many years been
the largest leaf tobacco marget in the
world, thousands more hogsheads of
tobacco being handled on the local
breaks" annually than at any other
point. It is generally accepted that
the numerous night rider troubles
and ;5e intense fesling which exists
against the American Tobacco COM
pany in many sections. has caused the
officials Of the comleny tc withdraw
tbs country agents from the state.

Burn Two Towns in Revenge
for the Enforcement of
the Law

Aberdeen. 8. D., Ang. 24.-The
towns of Alaska and Lowry were
partially destroyed by fires last night
both of which are supposed to have
been of incendiary origin. Six build
ings were burned at Alaska. The fire
at Alaska was discovered about mid
night and the people who first got into
the streets discovered a number of
men garbed lige night riders riding
away from the town. A little while
later the fire at Lowry was discover

that OF band of horse thieves who

some time. A number of arrests have
taken place for their depradations
and the burning was in all probable
ity the work of their comrades in
revenge for the attempts to break up

HAsKELL's BANKRUPT
An Application for a Receiver by In.
dianola Construction Co.

Muskogee, Ok, Aug. 24.-Applica-
tion for appointment of receiver for
the Indianola Contracting company, of
which Governor G. N. Haskell is presi-
dent and owner Of sixty per cent of
the stock, was made In the federal
court hert today by John p. Bailey,
ID. M. Bailey and Frank g. Kahle Of
Ottawa, o. This is the result of a
suit filed few days ago at Guthrie
in which the same plaintiffs ask for
a judgment against Haskell for $4,000
for attorney fees for services render
ed several years ago.
The 1ndianola company Is the prin-
.cipal business company through
which Governor Haskell has operated
In Oklahoma. It has been capitalized
at $160,000. Mrs. Haskell is one Of
the principal stockholders. The plain
tiffs asking for the receiver own $5,-
300 worth of the stock This company
has built railroads, hotels. promoted
townsites, owns newspapers and office
buildings and has transacted an enor-
nous business. w. R. Eaton is the
secretary and local manager.
Governor Haskell is in Chicago. Mr..
Eaton says that the application for a
receiver Is an attempt at blackmail,
and that the applicants, finding the
president in an official position, at
tempted to collect an unjust fee and
brought the suit for a receiver to back
up their claim. He also says the
courts should refuse to appoint a re-
ceiver. as the company Is in good
condition, has valuable property and
Is able not only to pay all debts but
show a profit besides.
The plaintiffs say that Governor
Haskell has drawn $4,000 salary In
the past three years. and that his ac-
tual services were not worth $1,50O:
that the company has speculated in in
vestments wholly outside its charter,
incurring heavy losses, and that the
plaintiffs have not been able to get
an accounting. They ask receiver to
settle the affairs Of the company and
dissolve Il.

MAssAGED HEART
Physician Restored Life By Remark
~ able OperatiOn.

washington, Aug. 24-News Of one
of the most remarkable operations
ever performed in this city or possibly
in the United States, which took place
at Emergency hospital. when one Of
the surgeons of that institution sue
ceeded by massage in bringing back to
life the 12-year-old colored boy at
Hyattsville, Md, who had died sudden
ly while undergoing an operation, has
just been made public.
The boy was under the influence Of
chloroform, and the surgeon was
operating on an infected knee when
respiration suddenly ceased The
pulse died and finally stopped. the
body became cold, the limbs rigid.
Artificial respiration was resortei
to, but there was no responding to
pulsation of the heart
After six minutes of suspense, dur
ing which the physician resorted to
every possible method to revive the
patient, the doctor realized that there
was only one chance to save the boys
life.
With delicate skill the boys abdo-
men was opened, and for seven min
utes. the doctor massaged the pa
tents heart with his fingers.
Finally, when he was about to give
up all hope, the boy took a faint
voluntary breath, and for several
minutes the heart pulsated gently.
Plying the heart with his fingers
to stimulate circulation Of the blood,
the physician, after eighteen minutes
had the heart pulsating normally, and
knew that he had succeeded in his
almost miraculous operation.
For day and half following the
operation the boy remained in ex-
cellent condition. and every hope was
held out for his recovery. But the
infection of the knee had spread to
the left side and affected the glands
of the neck. Blood poisoning set in,
and despite all efforts to save him
the boy succumbed.
The operation on the heart Is re-
garded as unique in thu annals Of
medicine.

him, but developments were expected
which would conclusively involve
others. However, 1t is said. that
those under suspicion had obtained an
