FUTURE ACTION MUST
COME FROM WASHINGTON

Chicago. Jan. 6.-District Attorney
Sims was informed of the adverse rul-
ing of the supreme court in a private
telegram. He declined to discuss the
matter, stating the announcement of
any future action in the case must
come from Washington.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
courts ruling by no means necessarily
ends the case. The original ease may
again be tried before Judge Lands, or
the government may proceed on some
entirely new ase with practically the
same evidence, however, basis for
which already exists in previous indict-
rents .....

REGGIE NOW IS SLOWLY
SINKING INTO THE SEA

Rome, Jan. 4.-The entire sea front
Of Reggie was swept away, the public
buildings were laid in ruins and the
whole lower town was inundated by
the tidal wave. Now what is left Of
the own or the highest ground Is
steadily sinking and may be swallowed
by the sea. Since Monday morning the
subsistence has been slow but steady.
A succession of minor tremors which
followed the great shock have caused
such alarming changes in the earth
that 1t is feared the ruined town will
be engulfed and o~bliterated.

illegally. The Indictment was based on
sales made in buffet cars of the COM
pany's trains within the county.
Two indictments were returned, but
on the agreement that the road would
plead guilty to one, the other was dis
missed.
Reoeiversh,p Delayed Payment.
The chief reason for the long delay
in payment of the fine was because
the road went into the hands of a re-
ceiver a short time after the indict-
ments were returned. This tied up the
progress in the local court, and in or
der to get action on the Indictment and
the plea of guilty, it was necessary for
County Attorney Egermayer to file a
petition in the case before the special
master of the receivership in ST. Paul.
The court fined the road $500 for the
offense, the balance of the payment be-
ing interest and costs.

THE TOWN THAT NESTLES CLOSE
TO THE FIELDS.

Some writer who has evidently
lived both city and county life
gives voice to the following:
b "Burlesqued, belittled, snubbed
as it may be, there is a charm,
fascination about small commu-
nifty which only those who have
lived there can appreciate, There
is that atmosphere about the town
which nestles close to the fields
which city people will never un-
derstand-a wholesome, family
spirit which will always cling
about the soul born fortunately in
such an environment.
True it is that the snsll town
develops characters not greatly
overdrawn on the stage-the un-
scrupulous banker who lives in the
big house, the old maid gossip
the half-wit with an egotism over
his menial task; the fiowery and
pompos politician, and long ga
NUT. We see these types repro
duced, and we recognize them.
True.it is that the small circum-
spect has emphasized individual
traits, but we who have known
them how we laugh and wipe the
corners of our eyes as they are
brought back to US.
The small town is the salt of the
earth. Life is real here. The tones
Of existence are each given their
proper shading. A wedding is a
wedding; a birth, a birth; death,
death. Those who live in the
small town laugh All weep with
each other.
The social in the church may be
ouer-emphasized; the barn-storm-
ing troupe may be paid more hom-
age than ID is due, and the leaders
in the place may be hero worship
ped beyond what they deserve, but
the edge has not been taken of Of
things in the small town. Hearts
are able to appreciate the little
things. The weather is worthy of
extensive comment, and being God
made, why should this not be sol
There are those who seek the big
city, where no one will know
their business. Hardly motive
to boast of. If ones business is
what it should be, the worlds
knowledge of it should not hurt,
And, too, in the places where ones
business is not known, neither is
there anyone to care when sorrow
comes into the household, If one
is freed from prying friends, so
also is one robbed of friends who
sooth and comfort and lend those
things which make life worth tie
living.
o, the little town! 1t has its
faults, but we love it-those of us
who have known it we'll. And the
big, heartless city will never take
its place in our affections" /"

THE MISSISSIPPI SENATORSHIP.

Mr.. McLaurin's death imposes
upon Mississippi very important
dnty. She must find good man
for the succession, and find him ut
once. The Legislature meets in
January.
The state has sent some notable
men to the Senate Foote and
Davis were conspicuous there in
the ante-bcllum period, but not
more so than Lamar and George
and Walthall were later. Mr.. La
mar, indeed, was u most intiuen-
tial national figure ut time when
the south needed men of his stamp
to speak for her. He had much
learning, high character, and great
courage, and what he believed in
he voted for. His refusal to sup
the rag money doctrine when
it was sweeping over the country
and finding large support in the
south attracted wide attention and
brought him distinguished praise.
Mr.. George and Gen. Walthall
did not reach his stature, but were
able men, and reflected good credit
on their constituents. Mr.. George,
who had served on the bench at
home, ranked with the foremost
lawyers i'll the Senate, while Gen.
Walthall, because OF charm of
manner which his associates on
both sides of the chamber recog.
nized, eXerted an influence none
the less valuable because quiet and
unadvertised.
Mr.. Money, by his own choice,
is retiring from public life. His
term expires in March 1911. He
will be succeeded by John Sharp
Williams, who won his spurs in the
House and should have a colleague
OF his own quality In the Senate.
Two such men there would restore
the state to her former prestige.
Should former Gov. VardauIan
be chosen this would not be ac-
complished. 1t is predicted that
ne will offer for the place and be
formidable in the race. He ran
Mr.. Williams almost a dead heat
for the Money seat two years ago,
and accepted his defeat with good
grace. 1t was understood then
that he would try again at the first
opportunity, and here it is.
In his contest with Mr.. Williams
Gov. Vardaman declared for tbe
repeal OF the fourteenth and fif-
teenth amendments to the Constr.
tuition, and announced that if elect.
ed he would bring the question up
and keep it before the Senate until
he secured vote at all costs If
that is still his platform, Mississip.
pi could be much better served in
the Senate by another man. Those
amendments are not at the mercy
OF agltators of the Vardaman tyne
and discussion OF them in the Sen.
ale after the manner proposed by
him would result only in bad feel
ing. While practically nulIifed.
they represent a sentiment which
movement for their formal repeal
would fan into flame easily spread
to other things. The President
would throw the weight Of his Of.
fice against it, and while defeat for
the proposition would be sure tbe
unnecessary turmoil would have
generally, a very bad effstt--
