POWER PLANT EXPLODES.
Two Hundred-Ton Boiler Enrled
Through the Roof.

Denver, Col.-Six are known to be
dead and it is thought more are buried
underneath the tons of debris as a re-
suit of the explosion of a boiler at
the power station of the Denver Gas
& Electric Company.
Hundreds of men who were attracted
to the scene by the sound of the ter
rife explosion are now frantically Dig
ging into the debris of the power plant,
bent upon the rescue of the power COM
pany employees who are supposed to
still be under the ruins.
Among the first of the dead bodies to
be dug out of the ruins was that of
Joseph PERI, Z years old. The boy was
playing in an alley behind the plant
when the explosion occurred, and WAS
completely buried by brick and iron. The
explosion was caused by the bursting of
a 2O0-ton boiler, which was thrown
through the roof of the building into
the air. The entire boiler room section
of the plant was demolished and all
electrical power was cut off from the
city.
1t is not known how many men were
at work in the plant at the time of the
accident, but it is thought there were
at least seventy-fve.

INCOME TAX IS DEAD.
TAX ON CORPORATE EARNINGS
WILL BE SUBSTITUTED.
Cummins and Bailey Break-Demo-
Gratis Jealous of the Part the
Part Bailey Has Played.

Washington.-The income tax is dead
90 far as this congress goes. Instead
there is forecasted the Taft plan of a 2
per cent levy upon the net income OF
corporations. Senator Aldrich said that
the latter will pass, and there is not
any doubt about it. The president also
received u to the anne effect.
Taft, it is said, is at last using the
whip. He has had more than one in
surgent senator to see him, and there
will be several more summoned.
The rumor is that the combination
presumably existing heretofore between
Cummins and Bailey is broken. Be-
hind this story there are interesting in
cidents. Jealousy plays an important
part.
Two senators of opposite political par
ties, high in the councils of their organi-
cations, said Tuesday that if a vote
could have been had on either the Bailey
or the Cummins amendments providing
for an income tax five days ago, it
would have passed.

CHILD SPANKED; KILLS SELF
Five-Year-Old Boy Carries Ou'
Threat Made to Mother.

Owensboro, Ky.-'Mamma, if you
whip me 1 will jump in the WE'LL" This
was the statement of a 5-year-old son OF
Mrs. Samuel Scott when his mother
reprimanded him for a childish prank.
The mother thought the boy was merely
Joking, and administered the promised
spanking.
Sobbing and crying, the little fellow
fled from the room. In a few seconds
the mother was startled by a scream
from her son. Suddenly remembering
his threat, she went to the well. At
the bottom she could see his golden
curls floating On the water. He had
carried out his threat.
The body was recovered while the
mother swooned away. It was found
that there was a cash on the child's
head which struck as he jumped into
the we'll and caused him to scream.
His neck was also broken.

JACKSON.
Deaf and Dumb Prodigy.

Those who attended the closing exer.
cises at the Deaf and Dumb Institute
were more than compensated. The ex-
e~rcises were accompanied with features
peculiar to such occasions. Most inter.
esting, perhaps, of all the features was
the part played by the little prodigy
from Calhoun county, Maud Scott, the
Mississippi Helen Keller, who is closing
her seventh year at the institution, and
who has progressed from a state of al
most inhuman sensibility to a condition
of mind which is said by those who have
studied the case to excel Helen Keller
herself at the same period of her life.
Through this child the merits and sim
plicity of the Braille system of training,
through the sense of touch, has been
demonstrated to many visitors to the
Deaf and Dumb Institute, and though
still highly nervous and simple-minded,
the degree of control attained by her in
structors and c%aretakers seems remark
able.

Atkinson Must - Caught.

Governor Noel has received written
reports from Major E. w. Hall, Captain
NJ. b. Herndon, officers of the Nations.
Guard, and r. c.. Mccoy, special detec-
tive officer secured by the pen~itentiary
officers, who were engaged in the Tom
Atkinson military campaign ara expedi-
eion recently conducted in Winston coun-
ty, supplemental to their verbal state
ments made to him on their return. The
governor has prepared a detailed synop-
sis of these reports, which covers pretty
much the ground already gone over,
keeping private such information the
publication of which might je%opardize
the chances for the arrest of Tom At
kinsOn and the prosecution of those as
sisting in his escape and in his hidiRg,
and has written the officers and De
tective Mccoy expressing thanks for the
loyalty and vigilance shown by them
and the officers and men with them. In
the course of his statement, Governor
Noel said:
NEARLY all the ~convicts in the peni-
Tertiary have innocent wives and chill
dren suffering for their crimes, and the
proceeds of their labor have gone en-
tirely to the state, and since their con-
viction lave not been shared by any of
their families. In this respect Atkinson,
for twenty-one years, has been vastly
better circumstanced than any convict in
the penitentiary, and before asking for
the clemency of the law he should sub
init himself to the custody of the law.
"The evil effect of a convict prevent
ing his arrest by flight is infinitely less
than standing his ground armed, relying
on the support of others, and threatening
to kill those who might attempt his ar
rest,

Building Model Towns.

Building towns in order is an expert.
ment to be undertaken between Natchez
and Meridian, along the line of the pro-
posed Mississippi River Western rail
road. Building towns on uniform plans
is also an experiment, the result of
which will be watched with some curl
osity.
But to predetermine the character of
the people who are to inhabit the thirty
or more proposed towns, each yet to be
located along a railroad line yet to be
built is a decided novelty.
These are a few of the things pro-
posed to be done by the Mississippi River
Western Town Site Company, recently
organized for that purpose.

Too Strong for the Deacon.

LOO StIOuX luz Tue OcdCOus
In a unique opinion delivered by Chief
Justice Whitfield, the supreme court sol
emnly held that it was not good for
deacons to test the unknown qualities of
certain drinks lest they thereby fall
from grace.
The case in point came up from Simp-
son county, in which State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams sued one Berry for
privilege tax. Berry resisted payment
through all the courts, but finally had to
pay up.
1t seems that Berry was selling a GER
tain drink labeled cider, which was very
popular. Many of the residents at Magee
were fond of it, and the young bloods
for miles around bought it in quaint
ties.
Deacon Gray, one of the most pious
and fatherly of the patriarchs in Magee,
whom everybody trusted, was prevailed
upon to submit himself to the tempta-
tion, and he, says Justice Whitfield,
agreed to drink enough of the beverage
to determine its intoxicating strength. In
truth, says the court, "and Brother Gray
drank and drank, with the result that he
left the place unqualifiedly intoxicated,
vociferously So"
On this evidence it was decided that
everything labeled cider is not cider, and
Berry was called on by the revenue agent
for a license fee, which brought on the
litigation.

Settling Gen. FurIong's Will.

Attorney Lamar Hardy, of New York,
formerly a Mississippian, being a son
of Judge w. H. Hardy, the distinguished
occupant of the Second district BENCH
was in consultation with Attorney-Gen-
eral Stirling in regard to the Furlong be-
quest matter, which has been pending in
the surrogate court of New York for q
year or more, and is about to be set
tied, it is believed. Mr.. Hardy states
that the matter has been set for a final
hearing for accounting on June 20, in
New York, and he is of the opinion that
all Instructions to the final delivery of
the proceeds under the will of Gen. Fur
long will then be removed, and the dis
tribution can be made directly after
wards.
In his will Gen. Furlong left requests
of $4,000 each to the University of Mis-
%sissippi, Alcorn Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College, the state insane asylum, in
stitution for the deaf and dumb, and
the Blind Institute, which were in addi-
