"The Honeymooners" Here Today.

The Honeymooners," which comes to the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight, is said to be a song show that Is crowded with action, beautiful, catchy music and pretty girls. 1t is a typically Cohanesque production and that means that it Is exhilarating, snappy, smart and tuneful. The plot is coh erent exciting affair of love and politics and amusing family complica- tions in the town of Tigerville, Vt. The author runs the whole gamut of small town characters and illustrates the conjunction of city manners and country WAYS.

At the Gavetv.

It is safe to say that Al Reeves big beauty show Is the best burlesoue or ganization in many moons Aimeda Fowler has made the biggest kind of hit with her dance. Miss Jean Lans- ford, the prima donna of the company Is said to be the most beautiful girl in burlesque, and her costumes are marvels. The beauty contest last night was very funny, but strange to say the young man that won this contest was far from being beautiful, but the an- dience gave him the prize just the same. Tonight there will be chorus girls contest. Saturday. Joe Pircente and Bob Reilley will wrestle.

YOUNG MAN KILLED
 BY CIRCULAR SAW
Accident To Carriage Throws
 Him Upon The Saw
DIES IN THE HOSPITAL
Announcement Is Made That Jackson Secures the State Encampment Over Meridian Because of
 Central Location.

Meridian, Miss, February 4-(Special) Foften Fairehilds was killed in hor- rible accident this afternoon. He was en- gagged in running a sawmill at his fath- CTS plant at Savoy which is about seven miles from the city He was standing on the carriage that takes the timber to the saw when the rope that pulled the carriage broke and the carriage came to a sudden stop and he was thrown across a running circular saw. He was horribly torn and lacerated before help reached him. The saw ripped open the flesh under his left arm and plowed its way to the hollow and in doing this the arm was almost severed from the body. His injuries were at once seen to be serious and he was brought to the Matty Hersee hospital in this city where he died shortly after o'clock to- night.
 The deceased was about 9 or B years old and was unmarried. He was the son of MT. L. E. Fairchilds and was a young man of fine character.
 The announcement that Meridian has been turned down by Adjutant General Fridge and General Keeser in favor of Jackson as the place to hold the state encampment in July has been received in Meridian with regret However Merid- ian is in line for the honor next year and will doubtless get 1t without oppo- sition. Had Meridian been the chosen city there would have been nothing too good for her soldier-boy guests.

time, and it may be accepted as a
most substantial indication that has
vet been given that the era of hard

weeks These stock yards will be To-
Gated at the west end Of the present
yards, little west and south of the
present passenger depot. This is one
Of the big expenditures offered for
Sparks and in addition to this there
is a great amount of work in the
way Of laying additional tracks etc.
in the yards and installing new ma
chnery in the shops.
Furthermore one of the men work
ing in the shops here one day last
week went to Sacramento to apply
for work at that point He was re-
turned to Sparks and told that some
departments here would GOublc the

Among other expenditures decided
upon for this division big rail
