The Roundup Institute.

StarkvilIe Miss, Sept. 9.-Ihe sec
ond day of the roundup institute
here was marked by increased attend
ance and a very enthusiastic interest,
this being the live stock day.
During the morning institute SIS
sion. r. B. Hardy, of Columbus, pres
ident OF the State Live Stock Assosia-
ton; Profs Hutchinson and LLOYD,
discussed Mule Raising in Mississip-
pi, and it was shown that while
this State annually expends some
three million dollars for mules, all
of this could be kept in the State.
All the speakers insisted on the i'm
portance of good brood mares and
sires. Prof. Perkins discussed the
function of live stock on the farm
and talked in the main on the value
of their manure.
The State Live Stock Association
also led their annual meeting here
this morning, and a lively spirit and
interest was evinced. Many impor-
tant measures We're considered,
among them being the subject Of
tick eradication, which fight is now
being so vigorously pushed in this
State, in an endeavor to save our
farmers hundreds of thousands Of
dollars annually, and, incidentally. 10
have the State placed above the quar-
antine line, which greatly decreases
the value of our cattle. Prof. Lloyd
introduced the discussion of move
ment looking to starting the work in
this central cattle vicinity as soon as
sufficient funds could be sighted.
J. NJ. Taylor, of Port Gibson, wish
ed to inaugurate an educational cam
paign for the purpose of arousing
the people to a realization OF the
gravity of the situation, and suggest
ed that our senators and representa-
tives be instructed to plead aid Of
the general government on account
of the inroads the boil weeyil is max
ing, which will make this movement
all the more necessary.
The following resolution was in
troduced by Hon. G. H. Afford, Of
MaSnOllds
Resolved, That the Farmers IN
ion Of Mississippi, the Mississippi Cot
ton Association and the press of the
State be most earnestly requested e
lend this association all possible aid,
on all proper occasions, in its efforts
toward tick eradication in our State :
The afternoon session was taken
up with a discussion of the new ssni-
tary live stock law by DR.. John Oil
yer, of Columbus, and highly enter
| tanning, interesting and instructive

Prof. ". F. Hand, State chemist az

the analysis of the beerine offered
for sale by A. G. Starbuck. who had
a refreshment stand ar Camp Noel
during the recent National Guard en-
campment Two samples OF beerine
We're sent to Prof. Hand. and the
analysis show that both are clearly
within the law One sample contain
ed 0.57 per cent. of alcohol by vol
ume and 0.45 per cent. by weight
The other sample showed OIL per
cent. of alcohol by volume and 0-6o
by weight Ordinary beers contain
from 3.25 10 4.5O per cent of alco-
hol, so it will be seen that there was
not a sufficient quantity of alcohol
in the beerine TO make its sale Illegal
The people of Columbus are much
gratifed at the result Of the analysis,
as it clears away the last vestige ot
the suspicion that intoxicants were
sold TO soldiers during the progress
of the encampment-

TWENTY-FIVE men
PERISH IN TUNNEL
Tap Subterranean River and
Whole Force browns.

Berne, Switzerland, July 25.-There
was a frightful accident in the
Loetschberg tunnel in the Bernese
Alps, which resulted in the death of
twenty-five workmen
The men were drilling inside the
tunnel Without warning their tools
pierced the wall that separated them
from a subterranean river or lake,
the existence of which was not known.
The wall gave way with a crash and
torrent of water and mud rushed
into the tunnel and filled 1T. All OF
the workmen were drowned. They
were Italians. Fortunately, owing tC
the early hour, only comparatively
few men had entered the tunnel The
disaster occurred 2,400 yards from the
northern entrance 1t is believed that
the men tapped the Kander river
which flows through the mountains
above the tunnel The water now
chokes the tunnel within 1000 yards
of the entrance.
