The public generally will be
gratified to know that the union
station question in Memphis has
been at least partially settled.
For some time the city. through
her politicians, has been trying
to hold up the railroads and the
railroads on the other hand have
been trying to hold up the city.
In the meantime, the travelling
public has been left to the many
inconvenience found in a city
with a half dozen railroad sta
tons. Tupelo with all her rail
roads wouldn't tolerate such q
condition Of affairs thirty days.
A town that is not big enough
and progressive enough to have
a union station should not be
given a place on the map.

FELT PREPARATION WAS DUE
lmpulslve But Repentant Cowboy
Would Respect Last Wishes Of
the Deceased.

A u Bostonian went to Texas
and turned cowboy. He rapidly
caught the spirit of the country and
as rapidly shook of the outward sem
blance Of tender-footed eastern habit.
Rough-bearded, leather.clad, sombrero
as wide as the widest, 42-caliber Colts
on his hips. he was as wild as the
widest. Yet within his bosom still
burned the flame Of Boston culture
and refinement. One day he was rid
ing with a stranger across the prairie.
Turning his head suddenly Che was
slightly ahead) he saw his companion
make a suspicious motion toward his
hip-pocket. Without hesitation he
drew his revolver and shot him. The
stranger dropped like a log. The COW
boy dismounted and looked at the
body of his victim. II wonder II he
was really going to shoot me?' he
soliloquized; I'll see." Turning the
body over, he discovered a flask OF
whisky protruding from the pocket.
Poor fellow!" he said, in a tone OF
regret; i've made q mistake. I've
killed an innocent man and a gentle.
man at that. He wasn't going to shoot
me-; he was going to invite me to
have a drink. Well" he sighed, draw
ing his sleeve across his mouth, "the
last wishes of the deceased shall be
respected"

The first conference of the
Rockefeller hookworm commits
sion will be held in Atlanta jan
uary the 18th and 10th. Many
hookworm experts are expected
to attend, and an isteresting
paper will be read by Or. Welsh,
Chairman Of the Commission.
The plan of the distribution of
the funds has not yet been made
public. While the public gener-
ally has been disposed to attri-
butte the establishent of this
commission to the philanthropic
heart of Mr.. Rockefeller there
has been also minated that the
interest Of the Standard Oil Co.
cuts some figure in John DIS
plans. Jordan Boone, Of Corinth.
stated while here recently that
he had heard it intimated that in
a conversation Mr.. Rockefeller
had with a travelling man who.
had covered the south that there
were many millions of southern
ers too lazy at nightfall to light
their kerosene lamps, and that
taking this view Of the matter,
Mr.. Rockefeller felt that the
hookworm should be destroyed.
If this version is correct it is an
other evidence Of the business

ENJOYED HIS LAST MOMENTS.
Eccentric Frenchman, Having Made
Up His Mind to End His Life,
Did Things In style.

&S
Says the Paris correspondent of the
st. James Budget: Weary of life at
the ripe age of 70, M. Auguste Jabois,
Of independent means, residing IN
the Rue P~oncelot, put an end to his
existence with no little ceremony. Be
fore retiring at night he spend near
" an hour discussing his ~favorite
dishes with his housekeeper, and
finally drew up a sumptuous menu
for next days lunch. It was to be
a great day for him, he informed her,
and he must have everything of the
best. He had purchased masses OF
flowers, and these were to be placed
IN all the rooms.
The good woman grew seriously
alarmed, as in her opinion these prep.
arations could only mean that her
master intended to get married, and
that her rule was at an end. Her
suspicious appeared to be confirmed
when M. Jabois came down next days
IN his dress suit, with all his decora-
tons. He took a cab and droye Off
60 fetch the bride, thought the I'm,
happy housekeeper.
But to her amazement her master
returned alone. He sat down TO his
meal with q hearty appetite, and then
after giving orders that he was not to
be disturbed, he retired to his study.
There he was found dead, some hours
later. having been suffoeated by gas.

The doctors theory is that we

Killing At saltillo.

At a negro supper at Saltillo
Saturday night. the festivities
were turned into a scene of riot,
disorder and bloodshed over the
matter of changing money. A
dispute arose between some Of
the managers and a row arose
with Aus Foster and Moscow
Saddler. Knives and pistols
were drawn and the participants
were making at each other with
a determination to settle the af-
fair by force Of arms. At this
juncture Linda Foster. interfered
and threw herself between the
combatants just in time to re-
ceive a fatal shot from the gun
of Moscow Saddler. The woman
fell dead and Foster attacked
Saddler with his knife and in
flicted wounds about the head
and body that may prove fatal.
Saddler managed to escape, how
ever, and made his way through
the woods to the home of his
brother, Raleigh Saddler, who
lives two and one-half miles
northwest Of Tupelo, arriving
there at four o'clock Sunday
morning.
Will Frances, Deputy Sheriff,
was in Saltillo at the time and
was soon on the scene. He placed
Foster under arrest and tele
phoned Sheriff Trapp. Mr.. TrapI
caught a freight train and ar
rived at SaltilIo about one O'Clock
with his bloodhounds. The
hounds were placed on the trai.
of Saddler and followed him tc
within a short distance of where
he had stopped. A rain bega1
to fall and the trail was thus lost
to the dogs.
Sheriff Trapp and Francis located
the Saddler negro early Sunda,
morning. Sunday afternoon Sad-
dler was placed in a wagon an6
brought and lodged in Jail. TIL.
Foster negro was brought dow
from Saltillo by Az jackson ane
lodged in Jail.
A preliminary hearing will b.
held as soon as Saddler is able tt
appear in court.

The comparative statement
furnished by the Auditor of the
condition of the banks in Missis'
sippi shows an increase OF some
thing more than ten per cent OF
business over the statement
made at the same time in 1908.
A feature that will attract
general attention is the increase
of deposits over last year. While
there has been the general cry
of hard times in the state, the
increase of deposits refutes the
idea that conditions have been
worse than usual.

INDIANS WERE DESTROYED
White Man Coveted Land Of ona;
for Sheep and Used
Treachery.

In his article on his adventures
among the Ona Indians of TERRA de
Fuego in Harper's for August, Charles
w. Furleng charges the white colon
lists with having wantonly destro. ID
this once strong race.
Less than three decades ago the
primitive inhabitants, the Ona Ind
ans, lived, hunted and fought from An
agarda point in Magellan strait to
Beagle channel.
Had the whole island been like
the southern half, to-day the Onas, in
all probability, would be in control
of practically all Of their original do
main. Had 1t been like the northern
half, the world would undoubtedly
look upon the hunting grounds of an
extinct race. AS it is, within less than
thirty years the Onas have shrunk
from perhaps 5000 to 300, and all be.
cause they possessed land the white
man. coveted for his sheep. and had
Unborn courage and ferocity strong
enough to oppose him.
with the establishment of the first
sheep range, in the. early SOS, began a
cruel and persistent warfare on the
part of the white man. In reprisal
for the land from which he was driv-
en-, the Ona raided the range at night
for the white guanaco,' as he called
the strange animal, the sheep, which
he found not only easily captured.

j. Pierpont Morgan has bought
a controlling interest in the
Equitable Life Assurance Com
pany of New York. Mr.. Morgan
states that his object in gaining
control Of the company was to
prevent the handling of the
great financial interest by a few
individuals. He will seek to con-
vert the company into a policy
holding institution instead of a
stock holding concern as it is
now organized. and will endeavor
to have it managed in the future
in the interest of the policy
