An innovation was injected into the
No. 2 on the Illinois Central, which oc-
Cured near Jackson, Miss, on April
Is, in that the board of inquiry was
aot only composed (as is usually the
easel of officers of the company, but
also assisted by an outsider Of prom
nence, who, in the accident near Jack
son, was Mr.. r. l.. Saunders, a prom.
lent citizen of that city.
In view of the findings Of the board,
Mr.. w. l.. Park, vice president, has
offered a reward of 5 1000 for the ar
'est and conviction Of each person
Who may have been criminally impli-
lated.
After thoroughly analyzing the evil
lence and interrogating a large num-
DER of witnesses, the following cOnclu-
,ions we're reached by the board:
1. The derailment occurred by rea-
son of a joint in the east rail of the
rack having become disconnected, al
lowing the engine 10 drop to the ties
and finally rolling to the bottom of
he fill, also wrecking and destroying
Eve cars.
2. The joint was, from all evidence
aiken, disconnected by unscrewing the
bolts and removing the angle bars,
which bars were afterwards found and
identified by the witnesses as having
been ON the joint in question.
nh e Gr0- = IL
joining woods and the presence of
three suspicious looking men around
he depot at Jackson, for several days
previous to the wreck and evidence of
two men tallying in description to the
men seen at a point northwest of the
wreck, tends to confirm the idea that
it was done by parties unknown.
4. The condition of the track does
not disclose evidence OF neglect and
is in good condition.
8. The condition Of south end of
the north rail of the disconnected joint
indicates that a number Of wheels had
struck this rail moving in a north
bound direction, as the rail was bat
tered by contact of wheels. The in
side part of head of the rail was chip
ped about one-half inch. evidently due
to having been struck by fianges.
6. The condition of, the north end
Of the south rail has slight evidence
of having been struck by wheels NOV.
ing in a south-bound direction, which
is probably due to the fact hat the
joint was all, or partially, disconnect-
ed, therefore the south-bound freight
train, extra 80, passed over it, although
the train crew on that train do not re.
call any evidence of such when they
passed over it.
Z. Engine II, on train No. 2, was
carefully inspected by engine inspec-
tor, master mechanic and travelling e
gineer at McComb before taking run.

Does Your Cat couah2

Ooes your Cat cough!
Poor pussy! AS if the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake O nights and of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough, the doctors have
just discoveredthat for years she has
been responsible for the spread of
diphthetria. DR.. G. j., Awburn of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic Of this disease in SUBJ
urb of that city to pet cat belonging
to one Of his patients, has found, after
much clever investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat.
He has therefore recently been warn
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, if they de-
velop coughs. to forbid their being
Rugged and petted. DR.. Awburn fur
ther recommends that if the cough
persists and the cat begins to grow
thin to have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussy's death warrant.

WEDDING RING AS A SYMBOL
How II Was Regarded In Ancient
Times on lslc Of Man--John
Wesieys Courtesy.

In the Isle of Man the wedding ring
was formerly used as an instrument
OF torture. Cyril Davenport in his
book on "Jewelry" remarks that there
once existed custom in that island
according to which an unmarried
girl who had been offended by a man
could bring him TO trial and II he
were found guilty she would be pre-
sented with sword, rope and a
ring. With the sword she might cut
of his head; with the rope she might
hang him or with the ring she might
marry him. II Is said that the latter
punishment was that invariably In
ficted."
The wedding ring, which was toler-
ated by the Methodists, was anathema
to the early Puritans. who regarded
personal adornment as one OF the
many snares Of Satan. wesley. who
was High Churchman. probably rec
ognized its symbolical value. In the
old English marriage service It was
the custom Of the bridegroom to put
the ring on the thumb of his bride,
saying: "In the name of the Father"
then on the first finger. saying: "and
the Son." then on the second finger,
saying: "and the Holy Ghost" finally
on the third finger, with the word.
Amen"
The ring was left there because, as
the Sarum rubric says, "a vein pro-
ceeds thence to the heart" In the
modern marriage service the ring is
placed at once upon the third finger.
the invocation to the Trinity being
understood.
The wedding ring was the only
form Of jewelry permitted to the early
Methodists, and there are people still
living who recall how no longer than
forty years ago they were reproved by
old Methodist ministers for breaking
the rules of membership which for
bade (and still technically forbid)
Mcthodists to wear gold. jewels or
costly apparel; but with fine courtesy
John Wesley knew when to ignore
breaches of his own regulations
In visiting a house one of the
preachers drew Wesley's attention to
the hosts daughter, who was wearing
several jeweled rings; but instead OF
the rebuke which his preacher sought
to evoke. Wesley only graveIy and
gently remarked: "A very beautiful
hand"

A magic wand hath touched the sleeping EARTH
And at its summons, 10, glorious dawn!
To countless joys rock. field and hill give BIRTH
And myriad triumphs in a breath are born
Old winters woe, like mist, hath rolled away
And over all rosehued splendor glows;
Love. pleasure. hope-as iowers-adorn the

Ecstatic peace in every streamlet flows
Sweet spring is here! The Easter Of our souls!
O'erfled with promise: burdened with de-

A noble purpose in each hour that rolls;

And thrilled our lips with fresh-illed cup of
