LAST APPEARANCE
OF NOTED INVENTOR
On the Public Stage Will Be Tonight
for the Benefit of the Old Soldiers
Who Want to Go to the Memphis
Reunion.

Everything is in readiness for the
great musical event at the Auditorium
tonight, at which time Commodore
| Beall will positively make his last pub
lie appearance and will at that time
exhibit his wonderful universal music
making machine. There had been.
until this morning some apprehension
about the machine, as it had been put
in readiness for Monday night and the
rain necessitated putting it in cold
storage. For this reason it was
feared that it might accumulate SO
much frost that it could not coma
across figuratively speaking. Com
modore Beall was equal to the occa-
sion, however, and took such precau-
tions, that while it had accumulated
a few icicles, they were found to be
an advantage for he discovered that by
coating them with milk, the machine
added a tune which would attract
calves as well as minks and tonight
the public will get more than if the
concert had been held on Monday
night.
In addition to Commodore BealI,
the occasion will be very much added
I to by the appearance of Col. John Tai
ley, a once famous minstrel, who
! happens to be in the city because his
minstrels are temporarily out of bus
mess on account of high water, so he
will do a turn tonight for the old vet
Grams. All the details have also been
arranged for the spelling match, and
this will not be the least feature of
the entertainment, for it is said that
several successful business men will
compete, who originally started out to
be sign painters, but whose spelling
precluded success in that line On
this occasion it is said that they will
try to find out whether they know
, any more about spelling than they
did early in life.
Now that the News has outlined this
very interesting program we want to
remind the people of Hattiesburg that
this is a very worthy cause and that
| the same kind of an event is going
to take place in Meridian tonight; we
want Hattiesburg to show that there
is no place in the state which will
do more for its old vets than Hatties.

WALTON HEARD FROM
IN NEWTON COUNTY

MERIDIAN, Miss, June 4.-News
from Matty Hersee hospital late last
night was to the effect that Mr.. Will
AFlinn, who was shot three times
and dangerously wounded by j. G..
Walton in the rooms of the Beavers
club Wednesday afternoon, was resting
easy and attending physicians ex-
pressed the opinion that his chances
JGor final and permanent recovery
.yere good.
Walton, who made the murderous
assault on Mr.. O'Flinn, is still at
large, but if the information that
reached the city last night is correct
he is now in Newton county and his
capture may be only the question of
a few hours.
The police were Handicapped in their
pursuit of the man Wednesday night
by perfect downpour of rain. How
ever, they followed the direction it
was supposed he had taken until near
daylight yesterday morning, but found
no trace of him. 1t is said Walton
knows every pig-trail and cow-path
in this and adjoining counties and ii
is believed that he profited by this

believed they should, they had sugar
coated the dose SO as to relieve it OF
its bitter taste.
Following the Aldrich-Stone episode
Senator LaFollette resumed his speech
in opposition to the cotton schedule,
which proved to be a general criticism
of which proved to be a Finance Com
mittee. He asserted that the German
wage report had, contrary to a state
ment by Mr. Aldrich, reached the com.
mittee before the tariff bill was re.
ported to the senate, and he charged
the committee with general neglect in
Withholding information from the SEN
ate. He opposed the new cotton duties
as excessive and made an argument
in favor of a general scaling down.
Towards the close of the afternoon
session Mr. La Toilette became quite
exhausted and an effort was made to
obtain permission for him to suspend
and resume again tomorrow. Senator
Alydrich took advantage of the Incl
dent to make an effort to obtain an
agreement to vote on the cotton
schedules at a fixed hour tomorrow.
IN this he was uncuccessful. and after
ten or fifteen minutes of remuneration
the Wisconsin senator proceeded.

GOOD LANDS At
THE right PRICE
If You Are LOOKING Fo~ Coed Lands

Commercial Club For Particulars
About Homes in Mississippi.

The Commercial Club is in receipt
Of list of several thousand acres of

Supply Company of Mt. Olive, which
they will sell at very attractive prices.
These lands are we'll located and can
be had in any sized tracts from twenty
acres up to a thousand, some of them.
right up against the railroad right of
way.
This list is very much appreciated
because Of the fact that so many peo-
pie are not far sighted enough to see
that they can sell part of their lands
at very low price, and by thus en-
courasing emmigration, they quadru-
pie the value of the lands they keep.
What is needed now in this section is
plenty of lands to sell at prices that
are attractive; holding lands will not
bring settlers and the efforts of the
Commercial Club will come to naught
unless the land owners are imbued
with public spirit and can see that
they increase their own wealth by
selling a part Of their land to those
who must do the real work of devel-
opment and who must be encouraged
to do it,.
Let other land owners follow the ex-
ample Of the Mt. Olive company and
help start something in South Missis-
siDDi.

of freight rates from Vicksburg to
Texas common points. In this case
the Memphis Freight Bureau inter.
vened by asking that the same reduc-
tion be made from Memphis to Texas

Memphis demand lower rates on COM

G. 7. Fitzhugh, of Memphis. repre-
sented P. P. Williams; T. K. Riddick,
for the Memphis Freight Bureau; Roy
Butler appeared for the Cotton Belt
Railroad, and H. NJ. Garwood of Hous-
ton argued in behalf of the Texas

The principal contention Of counsel
for the railroads was that neither
Memphis nor Vicksburg was entitled
to as low rates to Texas common
points as New Orleans, which city
was not only a greater traffic produc-
ing center than either of the other
points, but it had four railroad lines

Dear Sir
Have been very busy since l got

Regarding the piece which we
thought was petrified wood, the

statement l. e., wood replaced by
iron," which Mr.. Griswold says is
very unusual.
Mr.. Griswol d also thought as we
on the black pieces that l brought
down, j. e., Black shale permeated
with carbon" may overlay stratum
of coal, tho coal is not always
found where this shale is.
