PLENTY OF MONEY
IN MISSISSIPPI
(Vicksburg Post)

(VlckSDurg POSt)
According to the leading bank
ers of the state, Mississippi will
need very little. if any, outside
financial assistanhe in market
ing the seasons crop.
Sixty days in advance of the
period when picking becomes ac-
tive in the State finds the farmer
in a more independent financial
shape than for several years past
and if present crop prospects are
not deteriorated the cotton grow
ers of Mississippi will be literally
wallowing in wealth when their
crop is marketed.
According to the last compila-
ton of bank statements, State
and National, are carrying in
dividual deposits subject to check
amounted $40, 900, 900, and there
is no reason to believe that the
bank deposit will show material
decreace until the marketing sea-
son opens. The banks proper
arein better shape to finance the
crop this year than last, and the
Mississippi branch of the Farm
ers Union will play a very prom
inent part in the work.

DEATH CLAIMS CHIEF
OF EMPER0R'S CABINET
DR.. Frederick X. Won Lucanus, a
Prominent Figure at the Im-
perial Court, Dies at
Berlin

BERLIN. Aug. s.-Dr. Frederick K
Von Lucanus, chief of Emperor VIII
liani's so-called civil cabinet, died here
TODAY. His death removes from the
imperial court a quiet figure of large
influence in advising his majesty con-
cerning the character and ability OF or
ficers in the civil administration.
His observations covered all of the
higher personnel and he estimated and
assessed the values of all individuals
for public service. He was reputed
to be a man Of extraordinary judg-
ment. He was the head of no group
seeking influence at court, but on the
contrary held a place apart from poll
tics and society.
1t was the office of DIR. Won Lucanus
to inform ministers and other high
personages when the emperor desired
to eliminate them from office, which he
usually did by handing a note inclosed
in a blue envelope, so that the doctor
and his blue envelope were the sub
ject for many grim witticism.

CHICAGO, Aug. BE. H. Hartman
held conferences here today with vari-
Gus heads of railroads in which he Is
interested. The conferences were at
tended by ]. c. Stubbs, traffic director;
julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance: S. M. FELTON,, president of the
Mexican Central railroad, and %. P.
Ripley, president of the Santa Fe sys-
TEN.
At luncheon later at the Chicago club
Mr.. Hartman met President Mitchell
Of the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
road and several officers of the Union
Pacific.
To reporters to whom he talked be-
fore going to the club, Mr. Hartman
declared he was opposed to the Hep
burn bill or any railroad regulating,
unless it carried with its provisions for
publicity and regulation, protection for
the railroads
''The Hepburn act in itself would not
be harmful" said Mr. Hartman, had
it been coupled with some Legislation
for protection as well as regulation.
This I stated to the president as far
back as 1905 I also wrote to Mr.. Taft
about 1t that same year. l said then
l favored regulation and publicity, If,
coupled with protection, so as to permit
the movement of traffic along the lines
of least resistance and least cost. This
can only be accomplished by co-opera-
ton between the railroads and the gov
ernments. Unless the government is
willing to grant one it should not en-
force the Others"

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb., Aug.
3.-No incident worthy of note marked
the day at Fairview today. Only a few
callers journeyed out in the swelter-
ing heat, and these for the most part
came merely to pay their respects.
Mr.. Bryan thus was enabled to
stransact a good deal of business, he
having been occupied practically the
entire day with his secretary, Mr.. Rose,
answering letters and outlining several
speeches which he will make in the
course of the next month.
In view of the Bonaparte opinion
that national banks cannot comply
with Oklahoma's state law with re-
spect to the guaranty of deposits, a
subject in which Mr.. Bryan is vitality
interested, it is presumed he will make
1t one of the leading issues of the cam
paign. Already he has decided to make
it the feature of his Topeka speech the
latter part of the present month.
The expected decision in the matter
of the complaint of Victor Rosewater
of Omaha against the fusion of the
Populists and Democrats, which was
heard Saturday, was not announced
today. The case has attracted good
deal of attention here and politicians
are awaiting the outcome with inter-

tContlnued from Page one,

that the tipple and mine buildings,
erected by the Canadian Pacific, are
still safe. Hosmer was late last night
believed to be safe, but fire broke out
again this morning.
Another fire also occurred at Michel
early today, though at midnight the
news was that the place was out of
danger. The women and children have
all been removed from Michel, east
to Frank, or Blairmore. A number of
buildings were burned this morning in
Michel.
A special to the Vancouver Province
from Nelson, B. c., says: The rumor
is persistent amongst the refugees from
Fernie that the fire started in three
separate places at once and that 1t
looked as if some one had lighted them
Intentionally. 1t is asserted that
friends of the Blackhead prisoners who
escaped last week, and who were re-
captured, were responsible for the con-
flagration, igniting the timber to Gre
ate a diversion and liberate the pris-
oners. The story is doubted, but is
persistent and is accepted by some
prominent Fernie men.
Relief trains with provisions, medi-
cines, clothing, hospital stores, nurses
and physicians are en- route to Fernie
from Winnipeg and Vancouver.
1t is definitely announced this even
ing that the town of Coal Creek, re-
ported to have been destroyed, is prac-
tically uninjured by fire.
The property loss at Fernie ana sur
rounding points will possibly be great
er than estimated.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. 3.-Can-
didate Taft has consented to make sew
eral speeches into the talking machines
for reproduction. AS the process OF
making phonograph records is some
what different from making CAM
paign speech from the back of a car
platform or from a front porch, Mr.
Taft today found Mrs. Taft laughing
at him as he was doing bit OF re-
hearsing for the real records.
Several experimental talks were
made and reproduced with varying de-
grees of satisfaction. The speeches
which a single record will hold aver
age about 300 words in length.
The topics to be discussed for repeti-
tion in this way have not as yet been
decided upon. AS an example of what
the machine can do the candidate was
treated to the reproduction of a record
made by w. J. Bryan.
Mr.. Taft today fixed August 21 as
the date for the rally of Virginia Re-
publicans here He will make politi-
cal address from the porch of the club
house adjacent to the hotel.
A committee of the bar association.
which begins it's twentieth annual
meeting here tomorrow, was received
this morning by Judge and Mrs. Taft.
While many of the members of the
Virginia bar differ with Judge Taft in
politics, he found many personal ac-
uuaintances and friends in the delega-
tion and an interchange of felicitations
took place Mr.. Taft was compli-
mented on his evidence of good health.
The subject of politics was not mem
toned Mr.. Taft will address the
association Thursday and he has been
invited to assist in the entertainment
at the banquet Thursday night.

One of the negroes fired upon the
sailors but said he did so only to
frighten them off.
The seamen then drove the negroes
into their house and many shots, it is

on the naval authorities for aid and
the negroes who were being attacked
were finally escorted across the river
