VERY FEW STREET
TAX DELIhQUENIS
Chief of Police Williams Order tc
Pay Up Has Been Generally Com
piled With.

The determination of Chief of Po-
lice Williams to collect all street tax
es due the city for the current year,
public expression of which was made
some two months ago, has resulted
most satisfactorily to that official and
to the substantial benefit of the cit,
treasury.
The law provides that all male per-
sons between the ages of eighteen and
sixty years of age shall be required
to pay to the street tax collector the
sum of $500 annually, or in lieu there
of to work the city streets designated
length of time.
Before time for this tax to be paid,
police officers of the several beats
make a thorough house to house can.
vass of the city and ascertain the
names of all male inhabitants at each
residence and place of business, and
notice warning each to report at the
city hall on certain day to perform
work on the streets as provided by
law, or in lieu thereof to pay to the
street tax collector the sum of three
dollars, which will except them from
street duty for the period of one year,
is left at the house.
In this way it is almost impossible
for any one to escape notification, and
in order to know who has and who has
not complied with the order, each
police officer keeps a stub of every
summons issued, with the name and
address Of the party to whom it is
issued, together with the date of the
summons and when the party is to
report for duty.
! Out of a total Of more than two
Thousand persons summoned this year,
Chief of Police Williams states that
so far there have been less than eigh-
teen prosecutions for non-payment, and
but very few delinquents now remain
On the list.
A goodly number of those summoned
were persons who were stopping in
the city temporarily, some of them
being employed on the new depot and
in the various departments of con
struction at the J. j. Newman Lum
Der Company's plant, who left the cit,
before time for them to report fol
street duty.
Mr.. Williams says that PRACTICAL.
every resident of the csswhas complete
with the order, but this was largel
ON account of the chiefs determination
r to collect every dollar due the cit
for this purpose, and for that reaso

Absence.

JACKSON, Miss, September S.
Advices from Canton state that an
effort is being made to locate Hon. w.
S. McAllister, former member Of the
Legislature, in the country around
there, and to incarcerate him in an
asylum, Notwithstanding only a few
weeks ago he was refused admission
ia the Mississippi Insane Hospital
here by DR.. T. J. Mitchell. the super
intendent, who declared him sane, al
though he was sent there ON the re-
commentator of physicians who pro-
nounced him to be of unsound mind.
A jury was impaneled at Canton
yesterday, which declared McAllister
insane, but the trial was had in his
absence, and he has not since been
apprehended.
The Canton advices are to the eff
feet that the trial was held in re-
Spouse to demand from citizens of
the community, who were terrorized
by McAlister's actions in which he is
said to have gone armed with gun
and pistol, and to have frequently
frightened and otherwise terrified Ia

LITTLE CRAFT
Trial of the New Boat Proved Salts
factory and Will Soon Be Ready
to Ply Leaf River Waters.

Captain A. Farley and Mr.. John F.
Bennett, owners Of the new turbine
launch Pioneer, which was built in
this city especially to their order has
been given trial run in Leaf River
and the craft was found to work very
satisfactorily, with the eycc9tion of
one or two minor details which it is
said can be corrected with but little
difficulty.
The boat is equipped with the latest
devices for speed, having a ten-horse
power gasolene engine of the most
approved make, and is capable of car
rying eighteen passengers.
1t is understood that the boat was
intended to be used principally by the
owners for private purposes, and moth
ing has been left undone to provide
passengers, and doubtless many pleas
ant excursions will be had up and
down the river on the Pioneer by
Messrs Bennett and Farley and their
friends.
1t is the purpose of these gentlemen
to make trip about nine miles down
the river one day this week for the
purpose of locating and removing some
snags which it is thought interfere
with the passage Of the boat, and as
there are not large number of these.
it is thought that but little difficulty
will be experienced in this work.
The Pioneer is a beautiful little
craft, and it's owners and builder have
reason to feel proud of the first power
boat to navigate the waters of Leaf
River.
