IMMIGRATION BUREAU.

The most interesting mater before
the club was the discussion of plans
of securing desirable settlers on the
cut over lands adjacent to the city.
Secretary Bixler said that he felt con-
fident that many of the large real es-
tate men of the North and East would
be glad to take hold of the PROPOSE
ton if $4,000 or $4,000 acres of desi"-
able lands could be secured at reason
abe prices. Several members of the
club said they believed this could be
done.
The greatest drawback to an under
taking of this magnitude is the fact
that property owners almost invariably
advance the price OF their holdings
as soon as movement toward definite
selling is made. Mr.. Bixfer emphasiz
ed the fact that owners of lands in
this section could well afford to sell
half of their holdings for nominal
prices, when the settling of large hum
bers of thrifty farmers would more
than double the price of the remainder
Of their holdings.
1t is probable that this movement
will take definite shape in a few weeks
and that great immigration conven
ton will be called in Hattiesburg
when all of the towns and cities II
South Mississippi will be invited tt
participate.

De soTo ISLAND.

ENLARGE THE HOME.

1t is said that a strong concerted
effort will be made at the next session
of the Mississippi legislature to secure
an appropriation for the enlargement
of the Mississippi Confederate Home
at Beauvoir, near Biloxi.
Despite the fact that the old soldiers
are dying rapidly, the home ID now
crowded to its full capacity, and it is
said that hundreds of applications
are on file from deserving veterans
who desire to become wards of the
State.
This is a matter that should appeal
to the hearts and consciences OF all
patriotic citizens and The News be-
lieves that the legislature will cheer
fully make the necessary appropria'
ton to enlarge the home.

Henry Frederick Ameil once said:
'In the conduct of Lfe, habits are of
greater Importance than maxims, be-
cause habit is a living maxim that has
become flesh and instinct. To remodel
ones maxims means nothing. This is
only to alter the title of the book. But
to acquire new habits is everything
for it is to grasp the meaning of life
which is only tissue of habits" And
the admonition is still true as ever.

Scranton, Pa, June S.-Peter Rodob-
skie. Polish miner, was found slain
on the railroad tracks Sunday morning
by trackwalkcr. Rodobskie left his
home about o'clock Sunday after
noon after drawing his pay and was
not again seen alive by his wife and
family.
Rodobskie's killing was most brut-
al crime. His skull was fractured, he
had two knife wounds in the right side
of the face and he was shot through
the kidneys. A part of one of his sus-
penders was found twisted around his
neck, so that strangulation would have
resulted in a short time. while heavy
beam of oak was let fall on him from
height, the mans breast being liter
ally cayed in. He had also a knife
wound on the wight hand. The county
detective is of the opinion that the
man was running away when the shots
were fired, and that the other injuries
were inflicted after he fell from the
bullet wound.

BURNED WOMEN'S FEET
Brutal Outrage by Five Masked Men
In a Mining Town.

A brutal outrage perpetrated by un
known robbers Sunday at Belmont, Pa,
has aroused the community and a
lynChing is threatened in the event
the men are captured. Five men, all
masked, broke into the home of Mrs.
Minnie Ashe, aged 90 years, in the
outskirts of the mining village and
ransacked the place.
With the aged woman were her
daughter, Mrs. Mary Ober, 60 years
old, and her granddaughter, Miss Min
ME Ober, % years old. The men found
only $3.50 in the house, and believing
there was more, they tore cords from
the pictures hanging on the walls
and fastened the three women to
chairs. They tLen barred the women's
feet and held lighted candles to them.
Partially unconscious the women were
otherwise abused. Before leaving the
house the burglars released Miss
Ober, who late in the afternoon re-
covered sufficiently to summon help.
The entire mining village is search
ing for the men.
