GIVES CHANCE
TO EACH LADY
TO TRY THE GAS STOvE-A FINE
MENU WILL BE SERVED
EACH DAY.

Much interest has been excited iu
domestic science, which have been
arranged for next week by the Hat
tiesburg Traction Company, because
it is thrice interesting. First, each
lady who attends is to be given a
chance on a new gas stove; then there
is a nice menu each day and last, but
not least, there will be demonstra-
lions in the use of gas which will in
terest every lady who is tired of the
big hot stove which heats up the
whole house unless the kitchen is
some distance away from the house.
These demonstrations have attracted
great interest where ever they have
been given, as is evidenced by the
large number of press notices Miss
Colling has received. Speaking of
her lecture in Grand Rapids, Mich,
the Evening Press of that city said:
The ladies of Grand Rapids are es.
pecially fortunate in being afforded
an opportunity through the efforts of
the Gas Light Company to hear Miss
Emily Marian Colling, the celebrated
exponent of the science of cooking.
Her ability as a teacher of domestic
economy has made her name famous
throughout the entire country. AT
the lecture yesterday afternoon, as
well as on preceding days, the audi
ence was composed of the best Gle.
ment of Grand Rapids. The charm.
Ing manner and pleasant address of
the lecturer, as well as her thorough
understanding of all that pertains to
the art of cooking, has won for her
an enviable place in the hearts of the
ladies of this city.
By reading the announcement in an
other column it will be found the
Tuesdays menu, which will no doubt
be interesting to many of the ladies.

compared with 322,3O7 bales reported
for May, 1908. OF the total 139, ASP
bales are credited to northern mills
and 205,522 bales to southern mills.
The total wool receipts at Boston dur
ing the month aggregated 33,826,49S
pounds compared with 14,35S, 492
pounds for May, 1908. The increase
was due both to larger receipts of the

in May amounted to 292,4S3 cases, as
against 243,273 cases for the CORE

one TRAIN OF

WITH TWO MILLIONS OF FEET
OF LUMBER LEFT JACKSON
FOR CHICAGO YESTERDAY.

JACKSON, Miss, July Zone hun
dred cars of lumber made up into one
solid train,
That is what the Great Northern
sent into Jackson yesterday, some ar
irving here at o'clock as it's first
effort at business in this direction.
This monster train of cars was pull
ed and pushed into the city, there be-
ing One engine in front, pulling; anoth-
er in the rear pushing for all it was
worth, and third in the middle of
the long line pushing and pulling a
the same time. This great train was
billed through to the city ~of Chicago,
and being something out of the ordi-
nary it was necessary for Station
Agent Bovine to get busy over the tel
egraph line with headquarters and the
office of the rattle manager to see if
they would agree to haul the train
through TO its destination as it was.
An agreement was finally reached and
the train sent on north just as it had
arrived in Jackson 100 cars and
three big engines, routed via Memphis,
and destined to attract attention all
along the line.
These one hundred cars carried
about 100000 feet of lumber, all sea
soned and dressed ready for use in
any kind of building. In fact that is
the only way the great Bogulusa mills
turn out lumber.
These 2,ooooOO feet Fl lumber con-
sistitute 5000 tons freight at "a
cents per 100 pounC which amounts
to $I4.5O per 1000 et and as it is
all going to one r a. be will have a
record breaking krieght bill to pay
when the train arrives in the Windy
City
The train load of lumber is worth
100000.

At JACKSON
BLIND TIGER AND POKER GAMES
VISlTED-ABOUT THIRTY
ARRESTS TO FOLLOW.

JACKSON, Miss, July PA new
sensation was sprung in blind tiger
circles yesterday morning when it
became known that detective has
been at work among them for the
past few weeks and that about thirty
arrests are to follow on actual sales
tective. Five of these arrests have a.
ready been made, including two white
men, A. w. Catchings and S. L. Ba
hem. Three negroes arrested are Min
ME Winston Henry Field and B. Por-
ter, and their trials will be had dur
ing the week.
Besides these tiger cases, it devel-
ops that poker game was uncovered
by the police Monday in the Capitol
Hotel in which five white men were
caught, included the detective, who
was permitting himself, he says, TO
| bel fleeced, in order to trap the other
| four men.
Two of these, I. Klinger and B
Smith, entered pleas of guilty and paid
fines of s25 each Another one, H. C.
Cobb, seems to be able to show that
he was not in the game and will prob
| ably not be fined. The fifth man
Bing Harris, has not yet been tried.
This latest detective gives his name
as L. Humphreys, and comes from
McComb City, where he was formerly
on the police force. He is not an en-
ploye of the Law Enforcement League
but of the police department, working
under the direction of Chief of Police
| Allen in accordance with a provision
made by the city council adopted sew
eral weeks ago, j. which it was ar
ranged for that official to have an
appropriation for the purpose. The
Law Enforcement I<a@SSe has entire
| ly given up its work in Jackson,
says Prosecuting Attorney Hewie,
preferring to let the police department
handle its own situation in its own
way. 77F

SHOOTS Wife,
KILLS HIMSELF

Milwaukee, Wis, April s2.-Stanis-
Iaus Lenenthal this afternoon shot his
wife apd himself while In their home
on the south side. Though the woman
is stiH living, there is little chance of
her recovery. Lenenthal died instant
ly.
1t is supposed that the shooting took
place some time after the dinner hour.
The Arst that was known was when a
neigi1bor saw Mrs. EeIenthal stagger
past a window to the sink with blood
streaming down her face. The neigh
bors were afraid to enter and detec-
tives were sent out. They found Len
enthal dead In the front room and the
woman unconscious. She was hurried
to hospital.
It is probable the shooting was due
to Lenenthal's sickness, as he had been
out of work for q year owing to bad
health, and the family would soon have
become city charges.
