and fee to the court house for safety.
1t was the most cowardly and dis
graceful affair that ever happened in
Poplarville, and the law-abiding citi-
zens of the town are indignant and
feel greatly outraged over the affair.
Sheriff Rouse, with several citizens
who volunteered their assistance, went
in pursuit Of the marauders and traced
them out the river road by Mrs.
Joseph A. Smiths place but learned
they were mounted on horseback and
in buggies and made their escape.
They were seen by parties living
along the road who estimated the
crowd to consist of about eight or
ten men. On the ground where the
shooting occurred was found a large
number of empty shells showing that
shotguns, pistols and highpressure
Winchester rifles were used.
While the identity of the shooters
is not known to the public, the officers
claim to have some clews that point
very strongly to the guilt OF several
persons, and every effort will be
made to apprehend them and bring
them to justice.
1t is generally believed that this out
rageous affair is a sequel to the shoot
ing and wounding of Ira Wheat by the
negro, Charlie Smith, and the subse-
quent warning given the negroes in
general to leave the town by some
parties few days ago. but as Mr..
J. F. Wheat, the father and Alfred

poqs as An Article of Diet.

Those of US who have heard Com
mander Peary's lectures on his Arctic
expeditions remember his declaration
that the only trouble with dog meat
is to get enough of it on such trips as
he has made into the frozen zone. But
it is not only among Arctic explorers
that dogs are an article Of diet. The
explorers keep their dogs as their last
the world. and among civilized people
at that, dog meat has regular and
acknowledged place upon the family
table Among the curiosities in the
statistical volume of the German En-
pire, issued quarterly by the Imperial
| Statistical Office at Berlin, may always
be found the figures at the slaughter
| of dogs for food. In the first number
for 1908. for example, we learn that in
! the last quarter of 1907 the recorded
number of dogs killed and sold for
! food in Germany was 2,29G. About
3,oOV dogs d year meet tile 0eiiiie'il NC
mand.
! This is very small number COM
pared with the 4.S45,37O hogs that were
! slaughtered in three months, but the
| point is that dogs are recognized in
! Germany as food commodity, and
| four times n year occupy column IL in
! the official tables of animals killed for
| food. Prussia in the last quarter con-
sumed only EO6 dogs. not one of which
| is credited to Berlin though the Frank
| fort district had a market for 81, LEIGH
nitz for 9S and Breslau for 1SO The
| kingdom Of Saxonv seems to he cult
| waiting the habit. FOR 1896 dogs were
consumed in that little country. the
Chennitz district taking 66s, Dresden
| Ga and LeipSic 152. Comparative sta
| tistics for the last three years show lit
| tie variation in the consumption. and
| the demand seems to be steady though
small The horse does not appear in
| these tables. though as food he occu-

The Duel in Russia.

Many things have happened in Rus
STA in recent years which have shamed
the civilized world, but about the worst
to date was that duel by distinguished
officers of the army sanctioned by SUI
perior officers and witnessed by the
best society of St. Petersburg, includ-
ing a score of women. The episode is
not only a disgrace to Russia but 1t
shames the age in which we are living.
1t is a strange inconsistency that while
duelling is not allowed by law among
civilians in Russia it is permissible in
the army and is frequently resorted to
in public fashion by officers OF minor
rank This duel in which one partlcl-
pant was seriously wounded was sane
toned not only by the minister of war
but, it is said. by the car himself. 1t
was all the result of chickering's as to
the bravery or cowardice shown at
Port Arthur and now that the gentle
man whose honor was impugned has
perforated his man he is preparing to
challenge another critic.
Plainly the duel which is such for
mality and sham in France is a differ
ent thing in Russia. In most parts of
the world the duel is now discredited
by the force of public opinion. This is
true of Great Britain as we'll as of
America. In other countries of Eu-
rooe, Italy, Austria, Germany. France
and Spain, in all of which the due
used to thrive, il has been much dis
outraged in recent years by an inter
national league formed for this pur.
pose Russia, however, which still
lives in the dark ages in many things
preserves the savagery and brutality
of the duel in its worst form. But
what. is to be saA of those 80 society
women Of st. Petersburg, wives an(
mothers, who went to the armory t.
witness the spectacle of one mai
shooting another?
