enters upon his duties in a practical businesslike way. For instance, when Harry K. Thaw employed him for .lls second trial, the public began at on g 10 picture the orator pleading for the life of his client with power and per suasive dictim; but the lawyer knew that the theme of a paranoiac, who had had an unwholesome career of debaucn- cry in the "Tenderloin" of New York city and had taken the life of great architect. though a depraved citizen 70 satisfy an unholy grudge, was not one tc call for the eloquence of the forum, but the logic of facts Hence, Little ton waived aside all flourish and suc- ceeded in saving the life of his cient-- distinct triumph, considering the per- feet machinery of the district attorneys office not to mention tho vigilance ard , skill of an exceedingly clever prosecut- irg staff.
 Martin w. Littleton would not have pursued a different policy in the Thaw trial, even though ne did not have the example in a former trial of the spec tacuiar speaking method to guide him away from that fatal error. Attorney Deimas from California. who was Thaw' s leading counsel at the first trial saw his mistake too late. The judgment of the
 
 wonderful in one so young. If you will give him large audience and d political occasion, you will hear a great political speech. If 1t is a funeral oration he will meet the occasion and scene with the black pail of sepulchral speech. And then if you want lawyer pure and sim pie, he has the weapons of keen analy- sis and incisive logic
 Martin w Littleton was born in the mountains of Tennessee, at Franklin. a small town, which in the early days was the capital of the state. The fresh, in vgorating mountain air gave the boy the strength that found expansion on the prairies of Texas. The capital of great state and the mountar air did not give the Tennessee boy anything else but good health and strength of mind and body, for he went to Texas with his parents when he was a small boy His parents were poor. The town of Weatherford on the Texas and Pacific railroad became his home When he was mere lad in his teens, a few years removed from the age of majority, he was strong of limb and able to lift ties and help lift steel rails for the Santa Fe railroad, and found his daily appetite able to cope with the rough fare of his then present occu- patton He performed other kinds of manual labor, including bread-making in a bakers shop.
 You could not keep fellow like Little len down if you tried, and 1t was not long before he had learned enough law to pass the usual examination before a com r,ittee of lawyers, and the first year of his practice. which began when he was l9 years of age, his disabilities being re- moved by the court. he was taken into partnership by Judge Harry Kuteman. one of the best counselors and pleaders in

Hattesburg, Miss, April 4.-tSpeeial l. while there have recently been larger and more costly fires in the lumber coun- try than that which recently destroyed the mill of J. F. Wilder at Epps 1t Is safe to say that none of them aroused 4 more lively personal regret and sympa- thy than that which put Mr Wilder out Of business temporarily. Mr Wild CTS loss is in the neighdorhood of $50 - 0o0 and l5O hands~are put out of employ- ment temporarily. The mill had been in constant operation throughout the dull times, being one of the few that had Kept the saws moving in order to main tam the faithful employees in the means ol making living. But latterly Mr Wilder had taken some large orders for export timber at a fair export price, and the fire came upon him at a time when he had prospect of making some small profit. He was wal protected by insurance however, ana the adjusters are now at work figuring on the amount or the loss. When this matter of insur- ance shall have been settled, Mr. Wild CT will be able to make d decision as to rebuilding
 The fire wiped out the sawmill of the Epps plant, but outside of that the damage was not as great as it might have been. The planer and dry kilns were saved and only a small amount of lumber in the yards was consumed. The office buildings, commissary and other accessories of he mill were saved. In view of the insurance, 41r. Wilder will not suffer financially to a great ex- tent except from the loss of mill opera ton.
 It is not doubted that MT. Wilder will rebuild, though in view of the condition of fthe lumber market and of finances generally, there may be some delay about it. He has large quantity of fine timber yet standing In the territory tributory to the Epps mill, and the tram roads and conveniences for getting the timber to the mill economically are all that could be desired Mr. Wilder is the sole owner of the Epps property. Though he is interested with others in other lumber manufacturing and selling establishments, the Epps property was all his own, and his pride is all centered in the success of that plant.

1t is yet unknown whether or not the J.. J. Newman Lumber Company will re-
 build at Hattiesburg. The higher off, cials of the company have not yet vis- ited the scene of the recent fires, though they have been given full information as to the extent of the loss and the parts of the plant saved from the fire by compe- tent representatives. It is also known here that the board of directors of the J. J. Newman Lumber Company have held session at Scranton If they then arrived at decision as to the future of this plant, the fact has not been per- mitted to leak out It is known, howev- CT that the company has under consider
 ation~- plans for moving the plant to a l point south of here into the heart of l the belt or timber owned by the compa- ny in that section. The plant is to have
 two mills there, and the planers and dry kilns now standing in Hattiesburg
 would all be moved down into the woods.
 In the meantime the company is work ing the Sumrall mills to full capacity, night and day, and a large number of the workmen from the Hattiesburg mills have gone out there to get employment. For the first time in many months this company Is experiencing a shortage of labor. and it is now advertising in the surrounding newspapers for hands for tEe Sumrall mill.

Spirit Lake Is to Be Restocked.

Henry Moore, Jr., president of Red river levee district No. l, has received notice from the war department that the contract will at once be let to "bulkhead" Spirit Lake in Lafayette county. This lake was nearly destroy ed during the overflow, which devas- tated the Red river bottoms last spring. The end of the lake was near the river and the rise caused the bank to cave until it reached the end of the lake and when the waters receded a great deal of the water of the lake flowed out.
 This caused much distress among the sportsmen of southwest Arkansas, as Spirit Lake was the most noted fishing place in this part of the state. Mir. More at once took the matter up with the war department with the view of having the damage repaired, and after much careful examination and deliberation the department has concluded to repair the damage. A bulkhead will be built and the levee line will be strong enough to resist any flood of the Red river.
 The government fishery at Nam moth Spring has agreed 10 send 20,- 900 black bass for Spirit Lake early in November.

Falls From Train and Browns.

Clint Ruff, a young business man living at Walnut Lake, fell from the caboose of an Iron Mountain freight train while crossing Walnut lake Sat urday night and was drowned The body was recovered several hours later.
 Ruff was subject to epilepsy and had had an attack early that morn ing
 Saturday night he and number of companions boarded the freight, Ruff getting into the caboose from a side entrance while the others climbed on top. They rode only beyond the tres tie and got off, when they heard a splash in the water, but heard no cry. The presumption is that as Ruff was entering the car while it was on the trestle a recurrence of the attack made him lose his grip and that he fell backward into the water
 The young man was a nephew of the Roberson brothers and managed their store at Walnut Lake.

Use 3 Barrel Slave.

Chicago.-A war which Chicago high school pupils have been waging against the board of educations at tempted abolition of school secret societies and fraternities was en- livened Saturday night when the Rev. Frank c. Smith, speaking in a Con gregation:l church, charged the parents with being too lenient and recommended the use of the barrel staye It should be a good elastic barrel stave, too" said Rev. Smith.
 If parents side with pupils in the defiance of school regulation, how can we expect other than that our future citizens will become habitual defiers of the law?"
 The board of education recently threatened to dismiss high school pupils who did not withdraw from secret societies, and the pupils re- piled by seeking court order re- straining the enforcement of the reg ulation

THE BODIES LIE UNBURIED. Public Schools Are Transformed Into Hospitals and War Department
 Is Feeding the Needy.

St. Petersburg. Petersburg is in the grasp of the Asiatic cholera, which already has exceeded in sever- lty and numbers the visitation of 1903. The disease is increasing daily at an alarming rate, and unless the authori- ties show in the future a much great CT degree of ability to cope with the situation than they have in the past, there is every reason to fear that it will get out of hand
 The government has threatened to apply the provisions of martial law and this threat has driven the munich pality officials to bend all their ener- gies to the campaign of clearing the city of the scourge. The aldermanic council Sunday voted a preliminary sum amounting to S250,000 to enlarge the hospital space, to purchase and distribute disinfectants, the supply of which in St. Petersburg is well nigh exhausted, and to expedite the in- terment of bodies which has been mo- toriously slow. The dead houses are oYercrowded and many corpses lie un- buried
 Under his authority as prefect of St. Petersburg, Gen. Dracheffsky, on Saturday, prohibited the sale of liquor throughout the city, including the government vodka shops, until Sep tember p, and he further ordered that after that the sale of liquor shall h ICI oft day until 10 a. m Monday This ac- ton has been taken in order to dimin- ish alcoholic eXeesses, which ma terially increases the liability of cholera infection and the general spread of the disease
 As announced by the official bulle- tins, the cases numbered 349 and the deaths FPS during the twenty-four hours between Friday noon and Satlr- day noon This was a considerable decrease from the preceding day, but there is doubt of the accuracy of the official statement. The record for the same twenty-four hours ascer- tained from unofficial but reliable sources shows the actual number to have been far in excess of that. Whether or not, however, there was an actual decrease, the disease re- stunned its march on Saturday, the statistics showing that from Saturday noon until Sunday noon, there were 398 cases and Al deaths, this being the largest number so far officially announced.
 It is feared that the cholera will make further gains for at least an other fortnight, this being figured on the basis of former epidemics. All varieties of Asiatic cholera have now developed here, there being numer- ous cases of AIgid type, which is ac- companied by the greatest suffering.

Complete Returns Show Big Increase.

Complete returns from Mondays election which have been received up to the present time confirm the early prediction that the total vote cast in Mondays election was larger than that cast two years ago, and that the Democratic majority would be at least as large as that received by Governor Little.
 Complete returns from sixteen coun- ties, official and unofficial, give Don aghey 25,713 and Warrington 10.144. a plurality of 15,569 for Donaghey. These same counties in 1906 gave Little 22,779 and Warrington 9,46S, a plurality of 13,311 for Little.
 If the remainder of the returns show the same gains, the total vote cast in Mondays election will be found to be approximately 175,000, as com pared with 151,S48 in 1906, and Don aghey's plurality over Warrington will be nearly 75,000. Complete re- turns may decrease these figures, but the indications are that both the total vote cast and the Democratic majority will break all previous records.
 The full returns which have been re- ceived show a marked increase in the vote for the Socialist candidate for governor over that of two years ago. If the present gain is maintained in the counties which have not yet re- ported, the indications are that the Socialist vote will be increased from 2,1S5, the number of votes cast for Dan Hogan for governor in 1906, to more than 10000.
 Thirteen counties from which the Socialist vote has been reported give Jones, the nominee of that party for governor, a total of 1,249 votes, The same counties, in 1906, gave Hogan 349 votes The Socialists have made big gains in several counties. In Polk county their vote jumped from 34 in 1906 to 222 In Independence county it was increased from 34 to 174.
