tive.
By Associated Press

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, October
2O.-Generel Estrada, the rebel lead
er who has proclaimed himself pro-
visional president of Nicaragua, re,
turned to this country today after hav-
ing established outposts to the north
of Rama and sent a detachment OF
800 of his best men to meet the ex-
pectedt approach of the government
forces, Estrada claims that he can
hold Rama against 10000 besiegers,
and it is believed here that if the in
terror is lost to President Zelaya that
he will never be able to regain the
Atlantic coast, now in the possession
of the rebels.
President Zelayas army is report
ed to be moving toward the interior
from the western coast. The tele-
graph lines between Bluefields and
Manauga, the capital, have been down
since they were cut on October 13.
The rebel movement is a serious
one, despite the tenor of official dis
patches emanating from Managua.
Schooners arriving from the south to-
day brought ten thousand rifles for
the insurgents.

Stealing Brass, Escaped and Stole
More Brass.

ly convicted in Justice Wallis court on
charge of stealing brass from the
J. J. Newman Lumber Company and
sentenced to a term of Imprisonment
on the county farm, from which place
he escaped about six weeks ago, was
recaptured Monday and is now back
on the farm" with additional days
added to his term.
Since White made his escape the
officers have been unable to get line
on his hiding place until Monday,
when he was seen by Mr.. Horace Cul-
pepper in the vicinity of the river
bridge, carrying heavily laden sack
upon his shoulder He was promptly
arrested, and an investigation of the
contents of the sack disclosed the fact
that White had returned to his former
habit of stealing brass.
White was tried on the new charge
Monday morning, in Justice Wallis
court. and besides the unexpired time
of ihs former sentence, together with
the additional penalty for escaping, he
will be compelled to serve number
OF days on the new sentence before

SMALL LADS GET
into TROUBLE
Four Boys Caught In the Act Are
Placed IN Embarrassing
Attitude.

Monday afternoon four small lads,
whose names We will not mention on
account of their youth placed them
selves in an embarrassing attitude by
entering the cane field of Mr.. John
Burkett, south of this city, and ap-
propriating to themselves a quantity
of ripe and Juicy sugar cane. The stu
alton was further complicated. no V-
ever, by the fact that the lads were
apprehended in the act, an officer was
telephoned for and the entire bunch
was placed under arrest.
Recently the depredations in Mr..
Burkett's cane field have been carried
on to such an extent that in order to
protect his property it was found nee
essary to place q watchman on the
ground with the view to catching the
trespassers, and IL was due to the Wig.
ilance of this individual that the catch
was made Monday afternoon.
All four of the lads caught were
mere boys, hardly old enough to be
punished by law for their actions, and
in view of this fact, Mr.. Burfkett yes
terday morning withdrew the charges,
with the understanding that al court
costs were to be settled by them.
Mr.. Burkett ought to have included
, in his compromise a good sound
! tharshing for the boys.

Despite the April-like weather
which prevailed throughout today
with partly beclouded skies and
drenchins showers falling at frequent
intervals, the reunion of Hattiesburg
Camp, United Confederate Veterans.
! held at the court house was spIen-
did success in every detail.
The wet weather and the saturated
ground, preventing the exercises of
the program and the dinner from be-
ing had in the open air, were absolute
ly the only marring defects of the
day, and to say that the veterans and
their friends and guests enjoyed the
day TO the utmost capacity is but a
poor expression of the true state of
affairs.
With a few minor changes. the
splendid program prepared BY a COM
mittee of Hattiesburg Chapter. United
Daughters of the Confederacy, was
carried out in its entirety and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the veterans
and those spectators who filled the
circuit court room almost to its full
est capacity.
The address of welcome was de-
livered by Rev. J. n. McMillin, and
the response by Rev A. F. Watkins.
Other splendid addresses were by
Rev. R. L. Campbell and Mr.. H. o.
White. All of these addresses were
thoroughly apposite to the OCCASION
and were greatly enjoyed. Some OF
the passages brought tears long un-
shed which ran down furrowed cheeks
and grey boards.

FARMERS INVITED To

Or. Knapp Also Will Speak Along
Kindred Lines At Meeting of South
ern States Commissioners of Agri.
culture.-subject Most Timely One.
Special 10 The Mems.

JACKSON, October 20.-Dr. w. d..
Hunter, of Dallas, Texas, in charge of
the southern field crop insect investi-
cation work of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, will deliver
an address on the subject of the boil
weevil here during the three days
meeting of the Southern States Com
missioners Of Agriculture on Nov. 16,
~ and IS. The exact date has not yet
been announced, but will be within
the next few days, and every farmer
is invited to be present This invita-.
ton ie extended by Commissioner H.
L. Blakeslee, president of the organ
ization, is a sincere one, and he ex-
poets and hopes that a large number
of farmers will be present.
This speech, coming at the time t
does, when the weevil is covering al
most every neck and corner of the
southwestern portions of the state,
and making rapid progress towai1
the other sections, is peculiarly op-
perfume and fortunate for the farmers
who will be able to attend, and who
may expect to hear the full life his.
tory of the insect from the man who
probably knows more about it than
any other man on earth. His position
at least raises that presumption, and
he is the highest authority in this
country on the subject.

A FALSE ALARM
FROM BOX No. 43
Somebody's Mischief Caused Fire De-
partment to Make Unnecessary
Run at 1880 Last Night.

Somebody's mischievous proclivities
caused the Fire Department to make
an altogether unnecessary run to
Southern avenue at 1890 o'clock last
night, when an alarm was turned in
from box No. 81, corner Southern ave-
nue. and Bay street.
The key to that box is kept on the
gallery of cne of the residence on
the corner of these streets, and upon
arriving at the place designated by
the alarm, no evidence of fire were
discernibe. Upon investigating the
source of the alarm Chief Potter dis
covered that the key to the box had
been taken from the gallery and the
alarm turned in without the knowl-
edge of the residents of the house
where the key is kept.
Mr.. Potter attributes the alarm -
the malicious mischief of some one
who evidently thinks the department
is not kept sufficiently busy.
An unusual number of false alarms
have recently been turned in to the
department, and it is altogether posi-
BILE that If the practice continues some
one will have to suffer the conse-
quences, as there is an ordinance pro.
viding fine of 800 and 80 days for
oifenses of this character.
