ROLL WEEVIL SHOWING UP.
To Great Extent in Southern Part Of
State.


State.
]. A. Evans, In charge of field
demonstration work in Louisiana and
Arkansas. United States Department
OF Agriculture, after a trip over the
territory reports that the weevil is
showing up in South Louisiana to a
considerable extent, but has not yet
made its appearance in the northern
portion of the state. "Out of forty
reports received from the southern
part of the state. principally from the
Delta, all say that the weevil has ap-
peared," said Mr.. Evans. ION the
other hand, reports from the entire
northern portion of the state give no
mention of the pest having yet
shown up. While 1t might have ap-
peared in isolated places, so far as l
know the weevil has not yet come to
light in North Louisiana" Mr..
Evans is in charge of the work in
Louisiana and Arkansas, under DIR.
Knapp, and has the two states thor
oughly covered with over seventy
representatives, and that none Of
those in North Louisiana has yet re-
ported the appearance of the weevil
indicates that it has not begun its
work in this section yet to any ex-
tent. Mr.. Evans further said that
the cotton crop is rather backward
this year, caused by the cool spring,
and no squares have yet appeared.
Cotton in the Delta section will not
begin to show squares before ten
days, according to information sent
the government agent.

a Dramatic Assassinstion.

By far the most dramatic royal as
sassination was that Of the Emperor
Paul of Russia on March -. 1901, BY
his mobiles. AS usual Paul had retired
to rest booted and spurred and in his
regimentals. At the dead OF night he
was awakened by an unusual noise.
The hussar who guarded his chamber
door-the only faithful sentry, as Il
proved, in the paIace-was being killed
by nine mobiles. They burst into the
room and began to attack the emperor.
Paul hid behind chairs and tables and
begged for bis life. He offered to make
each of his assailsnts a prince. He of
fered to abdicate in vain. Then he
made a wild dash for the window, fear
fully gashing himself, but he was drag
ged back. He seized a chair and for
some time kept the nine Of them az
bay, and only after terrific struggles
was he seized and strengied with HIS
own sash.

TWO KILLED N !
 TRAIN WRECK FREIGHT TRAIN coLLIDEs WITH A WORK TRAIN AT YELLOW
 CURVE.
Collision Was Due to a Misunderstand- ing, But the Responsibility Has
 Not Been Placed.

Temple, Texas. Oct. Engineer B. B. Lestr was killed and two others injured in wreck on the San Angelo branch of the Atchison, Topeka & San ta Fe railroad at 2;SO pm. today when west bound extra freight engine 696 ran into work train engine 7S7 a, Yellow Curve, about five miles west of Temple.
 The extra freight was running at a high rate of speed when 1t crashed into the work train head on and En- gineer Lester was caught in the wreck. Fireman Pitts jumped and es. capped with broken leg and some minor injuires. Engineer Bob sher- wood of the work train was slightly injured.
 The property loss will be very heavy and it will be some time be- fore the wreck can be cleared. The collision seems to be due to some misunderstanding but the responsi- bility has not yet been placed.

Taft at Heisna.

Helena, Ark, Oct. President Tafts river schedule went all to pieces today, owing to the inability of the vessels following his flagship, the Oleander, to keep up to the designated speed.
 The president trieu 10 stay With the fleet as far as he possibly could and delayed his arrival in Memphis three hours this morning in order that the boats carrying the twenty-six gover- nors and the IF congressman, as well as other vessels carrying delegates to the waterways convention in New Orleans. might land at the same time.
 Leaving Memphis one hour and a half late this afternoon the Oleande4 had to press forward at top speed in order to reach here at 8 D. m., two hours behind the schedule time. In making the run the Oleander left all of the other vessels of the fleet far astern.
 The delays have wrought havoc with the schedule for the remainder of the trip. Leaving nearly three hours late tonight the president will not reach vicSsburg until o'clock or after to- morrow night, that being his next stop.
 Even to make that city by 6 D. m. the president will have to leave the other vessels behind It has been Mir Taft's decision to ride over the bsttlefelds at vicksburg and he may be denied that pleasure because of the delay
 Welcomed by Mayor Martin.
 It had been intended that the pres ident should be welcomed once more to Arkansas by Governor Donaghey. but the governors boat was an hour behind the president, and the intro. ductory speech was made by Mayor Martin.
 The president spoke briefly from a stand erected in the center of the city, reiterating previously expressed opinions in favor of general plans for waterway improvements.
 The night air and the bad condition Of his voice did not offer favorable circumstances for a longer address.

SOUTHERN AND WESTERN BULLS CREDITED WITH BEING
 PURCHASERS.
Estimates of the Present Year Crop
 by Southern Men Have Had . Much to do With Price.

New York, Oct 27.--There was cun- tinued excitement in the cotton mar ket tnday, with prices again making new high records and most of the active months selling above IA 1-2c on sensational bullish estimates of the crop and reports that planters were holding for higher prices.
 Both southern and western bulls were credited with being aggressive buyers at times today.
 December cotton sold as high as HAT, and May 1463, during the af. ternoon.
 Realizing caused slight reaction lat CT, but the market closed very steady and from to 20 points net higher.
 Two prominent southern authorities issued estimates of the crop, one placing it at s1,9O0OOO and the other at 10,520000, compared with last years commercial crop of about 1S,- S00,000 bales

VicKssuRo READY FOR TAFT.
All Vessels Ordered Out of Yazoo
 Canal During His Stay.

Vicksburg, Miss, Oct. 27.-Vicks- burg has every detail of arrangements completed for the welcome to Presi- dent Taft and party tomorrow, and with ideal weather the big day is an ticipated with eager interest.
 This afternoon Captain John A. Cotter of New Orleans, inspector of harbors, came here and with Mayor Hacks, all vessels were ordered out of the Yazoo canal during the hours of the fleets presence here tomorrow
 It is believed the entire fleet will be able to come to the city front in the canal.
 The mayor and reception comittee will board the Oleander at the Clay street landing, the visitors will be wei comed, while bands are playing and the national salute is being fired from Castle Hill, and then the drive through the National Park will be be- gun in 61 automobiles and other vehicles. After the drive, the presi. dent will speak at . o'clock at court house, will be rendered reception at the Elks' club. and will depart for Natcehz at 10 o'clock This plan will of course be subject to change if the fleet reaches here late.

Taft pined on St. Paul.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 27.-The run of the presidential fleet from Hickman to Memphis was without incident oth- CT than notable dinner given last night to President Taft on board the steamer St. Paul. The presidents boat, the Oleander, and the St. Paul were lashed together with but slight reduction in speed when the president went to dinner and again when he returned to the Oleander for the night.
 As the guest at dinner on board the steamer st. Paul of the governors of more than one-half of the states of the union, President Taft made an address in which he sought to encour- age still further the policy of the states cooperating more closely with the national government He express ed the belief that much good would come from a meeting of the governors of all the states in Washington each winter, and formally extended an in- yitation for them to do SO
 Following the presidents lead all of the other speakers at this unique dinner, held as all of the boats of the presidential fleet were rushing down stream at full speed dwelt upon the helpfulness of the states and the na- tipnal government working together on problems Of mutual interest.
 Secretary Aagel of the department of commerce and labor cited the illus 'tration of taking the census. saying that Massachusetts has a plan and a system for enumerating the popula- tiQn of that state which the govern ment could not improve upon and was glad to accept. Governor Quinby of New Hampshire, Governor Dineen of Illinois and former Governor Blanch- ard of Louisiana were among those who spoke. Old southern melodies were sung during the dinner and the president joined often in the chorus. The president in his apeeob began by paying tribute to New Orleans.
 He said in part:
 Tt is a great pleasure to meet the governors here under conditions where they are not the whole thing q know how that is myself) it is a pleasure-'a growing pleasure. one that possibly some of you have not had reason to fully appreciate and es- teem, that in all this hospitanty

any one man on an yone of those toats which came down the river this morning, who will be able to watch the caving banks on this side of the river and see snags and stumps across the river, who can tell us how these great problems are to be solved We must first stir up the people and then give to them that serious consldera- ton and thought and study which is demanded.
 And now we have reached the next step How are we going to do it? If you have the river and it is not used, then there is no use In pouring millions into it to improve it. There is no use in doing that unless we know that we are going to get value received.
 This proposition of a fourteen foot channel requires much serious thought and study. The entire river must be studied by experts. You will find river men here and there from one end of the river to the other who will tell you that in places the river is navigable, that is that it has a good stage of water me year round, Sfld then we are determining upon the method to be used in making it have a good stage of water at all places the year round, we must ere ate terminal facilities as we'll Ter minai facilities are of as much vital importance as is a deep channel from the lakes to the gulf
 You men of Memphis, the bust ness men and manufacturers are now shipping your cotton and your goods by railroads, even when you have the river at your hand and you are not going to ship your cotton and goods by river even when you have deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf unless you know that 1t will be Of profit for you to do so. You have sim ply got to make the river transporta- ticn worth while.
 T use these words of warning to you. They will tend oshow you the difficulties which are to be overcome and which must be overcome before the deep waterway channel, fourteen feet through the valley. becomes a reality.
 T have even now spoken longer than l intended to, longer than yO5i want to hear me talk, so I will close by giving earliest expression of sin- cere thanks for the unbounded and unlimited welcome which you have ex- tended to me and my party today, a welcome which rings true of southern hospitality and expresses-the sincere and profound hope that Memphis will continue to grow and prosper and thrive in the years to come as she has done in the past.
