SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER
!. A. Miller of Oklahoma Attracts
the Attention of the Police

On Monday Chief of Police
Marts arrested a suspicious char
acter, who said his name was j..
A. Miller. He was first seen
with a set of single harness try
ing to sell them at a second hand
store. When questioned he told
the officers that he brought them
from Oklahoma. as he sold his
horse and wagon there and in
tended buying a horse of DR..
Candy of Humboldt, an Old time
friend of his.
He then entertained the officers
a short time by telling them he
was a brother of George and the
late Fred Miller, of this city. He
was then taken to George Miller
at the cigar factory, where this
story also proved false.
II seems that a number of
years ago he had lived at Arago
and Hum boidt, as he knew many
of the older people who had lived
there. AS nothing could be
proven against him he was turned

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Board of Education Met Monday
Evening

The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the board
of education at regular meeting
held April 5th.
In as much as the public press
of Falls City, and the last issue
Of the Orange and Black have
made the statement that there is
talk of putting athletics out Of
the public schools; the board of
education wishes to enphatlcally
declare that there has never been
at any time the least lntimatlon
of such a purpose by this board,
or by any individual member,
either at a meeting OF the board
or IN private. 1t is self evident
that such a rumor has eminated
from the fertile ina gination of
some designing person who has
hoped to mould public sentiment
against this board either as a
whole or as individuals.
We further declare that on the
contrary when two mberS OF
the seniors class recently appear
ed before the board with a petit
tion for another purpose, the
statement was made TO them that
we are proud of the high school S
achievements on h athletic
field, and advise that they put
forth their energies in that direc-
tion rather IN the direction for
which the petition was aimed.
The board also states that
Supt. Tobie's attitude on this
question has coincided with ours
and at no time has he by the least
mention advised against athletics
in the public schools.
By action of this board the
statements are ordered published
in the April number of Orange
Black and that a copy of these
resolutions be given to the public
press for publication

We the citizens of Falls City,

lawlessness resulting from the
use of strong drink, and in caus

Law ENFORCEMENT.
The Attorney General Takes Hand--5O
Barrels Of Booze Seized at
Natchez. {

Attorney General Stirling has
returned from Natchez, where he
broke up the king of blind tigers,
and put him out Of business, at
least temporarily, seizing fifty
barrels of whisky.
The Attorney General had been
advised that A. P Sims, a former
saloon keeper of Natchez, was do
ing a land Office business in the
whisky line and arming himself
with writs of attachment and Sc
questration, granted by Associate
Justice Fletcher, of the Supreme
Court, boarded the train for the
historic old town, where he enioin-
ed the A. P. Sims Bottling Works
and the Sims Express and Tele-
graph Company from doing further
business in this State, and charging
these concerns with doing business
contrary to the prohibition laws of
the State, confscated fifty barrels
OF whisky, which were seized to
make good the penalty of $4,000,
which will be demanded under the
statute which makes the minimum
fine $100, and which will be heard
before Chancellor Hicks next Octo-
ber.
AttorneyG General Stirling was
shown an Associated Press telegram
from Natchez last night describing
mis- visit to that city, and telling
of what he did. towards putting
these concerns out of business, and
stated that the Natchez telegram is
correct except as to one statement,
that being to the effect that he had
approved the charter of the Express
and Telegraph Company. He says
he did not approve the charter,
that he turned it down cold, and
explained the evident purpose of
the company to Governor Noel, who
also declined to approve.
Being barred from securing
charter in Mississippi, Mr.. Sims
then went to Louisiana for a char
ter, and got it. That might have
saved him some trouble provided
he had observed the laws Of Missis-
sippi which require all foreign
corporations to file and record
their charters with the Secretary of
State of Mississippi. That the
Natchez saloonist did not do-he
did not even attempt to do So
knowing, it is supposed, that it
would have been rejected.
General Stirling states that he
has associated with him Messrs.
Truly & Ratcliff and A. H. Geisen-
berger as attorneys for the prosecu-
tion in the trial that is to come up
in the Chancery Court in October,
and does not for a moment doubt
that his action will be sustained in
every respect -Clarion-Ledger,

Vardaman Idea Dramatized.

In the Sunday issues of the
Meridian Dispatch a serial story is
being published, and in speaking
of this story which has also been
dramatized, the Columbus Dis
patch says:
'"The dramatization of popular
novels has become very common
during recent years, and now Her
bert Logan Musgrove has gone Paul
Potter, the we'll known maker of
book plays, one better, and dram
atized a politician, or rather
political idea. The central figure
IN Mr.. Musgrovess play is no less
parsonage than our beloved Varda
man, and he has named his play
The Mississippian" In honor of
the distinguished ex-governor.
"Mr. MusgroVe IS a kentuckian
by birth, but is a resident Of Cuff
port, having for several years past
been editor of the Gulfport Herald.
Since coming to Mississippi he has
made close study Of Gov. Varda-
man and his policies, and the re-
suits of these observations are en-
bodied in the play. which concerns
the recent senatorial campaign. OF
course love story and other ex-
traneous themes necessary to any
stable dramatic prpGtions hava holm
woven into the plot. and the play
deals with a gubernatorial instead
of senatorial campaign, but ex-
Gov. Vardaman is the central
figure, and the dialogue is said to
include some of his most famous
political utterances.
1t is said that Mr.. Musgrove is
now negotiating witht New York
managers for the production Of his
play"
