Dynamite Explosion.

Wardner, May with their
home blown to atoms by the explo-
sion of large quantity of dynamite
and themselves cut in many places
and badly stunned by the shock, and
their hired man blown many feet
from the house by the powder and
badly injured, E. A. Carlson and
wife have reached Kingston, eight
miles below Wardner after a hard
journey down the river. They re-
late narrowing story of their near
ness to death at the hands of would
be assassins. The Carlsons reside
on a ranch up the North Fork river
and had just completed large new
house on their ranch. Last evening,
just after retiring, a terrific explo-
sion of dynamite took place, COM
pletely demolishing their house and
furniture and throwing the inmates
many feet through the air, injuring
and stunning them. The hired man
was found SO feet from the house in
a dazen condition. All the animals in
a barn north of the house were killed
and the barn torn down.
Just who set the blast off has not
been learned as yet though officials
are at work on the case and expect to
capture the parties soon. It is
stated that some Finlanders in the
woods nearby have been making
threats against settlers and the work
ofdynamiting is laid at their doors.
Great excitement Is felt all along
the river by the many settlers. Ser
ious trouble is looked for unless the
officers are strong enough to prevent
riot.-Statesman.

Cleveland on His Death Bed.

New York, May 1.-The Evening
the following: There is a report
current in financial circles today
emanating from the offices of the
Equitable Life Assurance society that
former President Cleveland is a suf-
ferer from cancer of the stomach and
his case is pronounced hopeless by
specialists. Mr.. Cleveland remains
at Lakewood hotel in Lakewood, N.
j., although the hotel has been
closed for the season ten days ago.
His wife and children are the. only
other guests. A physician and nurse
are in constant attendance" Efforts
to confirm the Worlds statement
that Mr.. Cleveland is suffering from
cancer and that his condition is crit
ical were unavailing owing to the ex-
IRENE reticence observed by all con-
nected with the case.

aside from some stationery, there
seems to be nothing in sight.
Governor Cutler, treasurer of the
league, said he was surprised that
the claim had never been paid. He
said that he had only acted as he
thought as temporary treasurer, and
that it has been many months since
he has received any of the money be-
longing to the league, and what he
did receive was Immediately paid out.
The governor further stated that
the directors should meet and settle
the claim, if it is just one.
The See America" league was or
gained at the suggestion of Fisher
Harris, secretary of the Commercial
club, about three years ago, and was
intensely popular for a time. The
slogan, See Europe if you will, but
see America first" went all over the
country. The league of late, how
ever, has done nothing.

The Worlds Greatest Bridges.

+ American railroad bridges are con-
New York city will have, when it
spans the Hudson with its two new
structures, the most expensive, the
longest and the most remarkable
bridges in the world. At present the
Victoria bridge over the st. Law
renee, at Montreal is the longest
bridge in America. 1t is 9,lS4 feet

measuring 9,696 feet. The Cole
brookdale bridge in England was the
first cast iron bridge, and was put up
in 1879.
The Kinzua bridge, used by the
Erie railroad near Bradford, Pa. is
half mile in length and sol feet
high and is used chiefly for the haul
ing of coal. Trains of 40 and SO cars
of coal passing over 1t daily.
The Oldest bridge in history is the
Sublician bridge at Rome, erected of
wood in the 18th century, and was
twice rebuilt, but all in ruins today.
The old London bridge was the first
stone bridge, began In 1176 and COM
pleted in 1909; but the new London
bridge of granite was begun in 1924
and finished in 1881 at cost of ST.

was built at Florence in 1879, and Is
known as the Holy Trinity bridge
The Rialto at Venice is also of mar
BILE, and was built in 1891. and de-
signed by Michaelangelo.
The Bridge of Signs at Venice, over
which condemned prisoners passed
to their execution which has been
immortalized in Byron's poems was
built In 1898, and stands as one of
the most important historic relics oT
that ancient city.

The Leader publishes today from

interesting biographical sketch of
Capt. Frank Johnston, of Jackson,
Ex-Attorney General of Mississippi,
which will we'll repay a reading.
Capt. Johnston is not only one of
Mississippi's ablest and most dis
tinguished sons, but one who has,
in many ways, rendered her long
and valuable service. Capt. John
ston is an applicant for appoint
ment on the supreme bench to sue
ceed the late lamented Justice Cal
hoon, and it is earnestly hoped he
will receive this honorable and well
deserved recognition from Gov.
Noel and thus be afforded the op-
portunity to crown with honorable
service his signally useful and 10y
al public career.

Tributes to Carmack---A Democratic and
a Republican Estimate.

Mr.. Carmack's tragic death is
great shock and special grief.
During his six years in the senate,
/ was most intimately associated
with him. He was a most remark
able man. Doubtless some others
excelled him in some particulars,
but he was the most brilliant man
who has appeared on either side of
the chamber during my term of
service there. He was most Iowa
bic man, warm-hearted, genial, un-
affected and absolutely free from
vanity or the envy which seeks to
depreciate others a vice too often
found in public men of marked
ability. Senator A. O. Bacon, of
Georgia.
he was an exceedingly brilliant
man. He was more than debater.
In fact, there was certain element
of genius about him. The last
thing he did in the senate was a
filibustering speech against some
measures that his party did not
want to go through. Of all the
many filibustering speeches | have
ever heard, that was the most brill
liant. He was comparatively
young man, and the Democratic
party has suffered great loss.

BlOOdhOundS N. G.

The amount of fake and disap-
pointment in regard to keeping
bloodhounds for running down
criminals is becoming apparent in
some quarters. A pair of blood
hounds for which Warren county
paid $400 and has since paid at the
rate of $100 per month to keep, have
proved practically worthless, and
the Board of Supervisors of Harri-
son county are offering their
hounds for sale, because they have
proved an expensive and worthless
experiment.
In an important sense, blood
hounds and ghosts are very much
alike-good chiefly for what peo-
pie think they will do, and not
what they actually accomplish.

CARMACK'S LAST EDITORIAL.
The ALLEGED LAST Straw" That Pro.
yOked His Foul Murder.

Nashville, Tenn, November TO-
The editorial in yesterday morn
ing's Tennessean referring to Colo
mel Cooper is one of several which
have mentioned Cooper in uncom.
pllmentary manner since Mr.. Car
mack assumed editorial manage
melat of the Tennessean. 1t has
reference to a recent conference
between Governor Patterson and
former Governor John l.. Cox, be-
tween whom, because of past po,
lltlcal contests, it has been alleged
the feeling was anything but cor
dial. The editorial is headed "The
Diplomat of the Zwelbund," and
reads as follows:
To Colonel Duncan Brown
Cooper, who wrought the great CO.
alition, who achieved the harmoni-
Gus confluence of incompatible ele-
ments; welded the pewter handle
to the wooden spoon; who grated
the dead bough to the living tree,
and made it to bloom and bourgeon,
and bend with golden fruit; who
made playmates of the lamb and
the leopard and boon companions
of the spider and the fly; who made
soda and vinegar to dwell placidly
in the same bottle, and who taught
oil and water how they might agree
to Colonel Duncan Brown Cooper,
the great diplomat of the political
zwelbund, be all honor and glory
forever"

Justice Calhoun Dies Suddenly of Heart
Disease.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 1O.-Judge
S. S. Calhoun, of the Mississippi
supreme court, died suddenly with
heart disease at his home on State
street tonight at 10 o'clock. JUS
tice Calhoon was on the bench this
afternoon as usual and friends re-
marked that they had not seen him
looking so we'll in a long time.
He had been in bad health a year
or two and it was believed he
would drop off just this way, but
last summer, he spent in the North
Carolina mountains, and he return
ed home greatly improved.
Justice Calhoon was born in
Brandenberg, KY, in 1888 and
came to Mississippi when an infant.
He graduated at the Cumberland
University, Tenn, taught school,
edited one or two newspapers in
Mississippi and Arkansas and prac-
ticed law at Canton till made cir
cult judge in 1876. In 1900, he
was appointed by Governor Longino
justice of the supreme court and
has served since then. No man in
Mississippi stood higher or had
more friends. His death, follow
ing so closely on that of Mayor
Wharton, who will be bNried to-
morrow, has caused reign of sor-
row in jackson.
