A SPLENDID EDITION.

One of the most superb special
editions that has been issued by
a Mississippi paper in a long
while is the fall trade edition of
The Brandon News.
A dozen or so years ago if any
person had suggested that it
would be possible for a newspa-
per in Brandon to issue a 36-page
special edition. profusely illustra-
ted, and replete with live and
entertaining matter relative to
the resources and industries of
that community, he would have
been. laughed at.
That it is possible, however,
has been abundantly proven by
the enterprising publishers of
The Brandon News. The fall
trade edition is above criticism in
every respect. 1t shows that
Brandon is among the progress
sive towns in Mississippi that
have undergone a thorough awak-
ening, and intends to keep pace
with the procession. jackson

The officers. Conrad Rauscher anG
Herman w. Krosowski, had been, sum
moned by Mr.. Albert Butz, who declared
her husband had abused her and had
threatened to kill her. When they reach
ed the house they found that Butt had
barricaded himself in a room. and when
he did not respond to their repeated
commands to admit them they forced
the door, AS the door gave way a flood
of gas poured out.
An instant later. when one of the po-
licemen struck match. there came a ter
rifle explosion and both officers were
hurled through the door. Their faces.
hands and arms were badly burned
BUTTS body was found lying on a couch
in the room.
In the investigation which followed the

had been married before and that her
first husband also ended his life by
suicide.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS

envy who is due for final examination will
be appointed to the commissioned per-
sonnet of the Army Coast Artillery Corps

no more of these transfers made. The
appointment is that OF Midshipman Eu-
gene b. Walker. now Oh duty with the

stationed in the San Francisco district.
The naval authorities have opposed these
transfers on the ground that the Navy
Department has educated these young
men for duty with the commissioned per-
sonnet OF the naval establishment. where
there continues TO be a great need of
officers.

chased under contract. This is the re-
suit OF a protracted test which has been

Lumber Inspections at Mills.
A system of inspection Is in vogue in

Gasoline Boats for Navy.
competitive test OF gasoline motor
boats fs contemplated by the Navy De-
partment to determine the best possible
type of boat Of the gasoline variety for
use in the navy. Urgent recommends
tons have been made by officers on duty
with the warships IN favor Of gasoline
motor boats to take the place of boats
pulled by oars or otherwise propelled. 1t
is believed that the gasoline may be safe
" carried, and that the advantages in the
way of speed. etc. will fully justify the
adoption Of that type Of boat. A gasoline
motor boat has already been adopted for
use with the torpedo boat destroyers. and
1t Is now proposed to have type which
each of the other classes OF ships can use
For the present the attention of the ex-
perts Is devoted to a thirty-foot motor
boat to be used with the battleships. Such
a boat has been designed by the naval
constructors and Is to be constructed al

dimensions Is being built in New York
under contract. Other boats may be
contracted for with the idea that a trial

spections at the mills The system also
serves to defeat any scheme Of a design
ing contractor who tries to evade the
vigilance of inspectors at navy yards or
seeks to reverse an action rejecting the
material at the point of delivery. 1t is
alleged that some of the contractors for
furnishing lumber, In awarding Subcon-
tracts to the mills, have made use of
specifications which depart in more or
less important details from the govern
ment requirements.
Only One Mine Ship.
There will be only one mine-la wing
,, vessel in the navy, the cruiser San Fran
cisco. the work on which has been order
ed. 1t was originally proposed that the
cruiser Baltimore should be equipped for
this class of work, but that vessel will
retain its present character.
Examination of Midshipmen.
Navy Department approval has been
given to recommendations made by the
academic board of the Naval Academy
for an important change in the. conditions
governing the examination of midship-
men, 1t is provided that hereafter, mid
shipmen shall be required to be satisfac-
tory in each department for each term,
| and no deficiency in any department for
one term shall be compensated by the

Wharves for Torpedo Boats.
Seven proposals were made to the naval
bureau OF yards and docks for con-
structing torpedo boat wharves at the

bids ranged from $4,000 to 5000.
Filling Army Vacancies.
The largest examination which has
ever been held under the auspices of the
army medical department will take place
in New York and the other principal
cities of the country August g. There are
nearly sixty vacancies in the regular
] and reserve medical corps, and it is
hoped to fill at least half of these as a
result of the coming examination. There
have been enough applications received
to show that one hundred and fifty can
didates will be before the various exam
| lining boards. The increase of pay for
medical officers and the additional pros
poets Of promotion which have been
given by recently enacted legislation are
expected to prove unusual inducements
