Larceny.

''It is said that larceny is rapidly
growing in your county. am told
that cattle stealing is common prac-
tice with some; that within the last
few days number of cattle have
been stolen from pastures near this
city, which indicates that they are
growing holder. 1t is said that mills,
factories and outhouses are being
robbed for iron, brass and other junk
and sold to Junk dealers for nominal
sums. There is no excuse for steal
ing in this country and I think you
should show little consideration for
the thieves; as thief does not reform,
the sooner you remove him, the bet
ter for society.

Treatment of conxicts.

at is violation of the law to beat

presumes that they will be released
from prison better than when they
entered, but mistreatment will not
elevate any man; it will degrade him.
have no respect for a man who
would take advantage of a prisoner
and mistrest him; have no respect
for any man who regards a lash upon
a bare back as just reward for labor.

Physical Formation Of Mexico.

Mexico possesses h curious physical
formation. Rising rapidly by a sue
cession Of terraces from the low,
sandy coasts on the east and west it
eliminates in central plateau rum
ming in northwesterly and south
easterly direction and having an eleva-
ton varying from 1000 to 5000 feet
above the sea. High above this pla-
teau tower the snow capped crests of
several volcanoes. most of which are
extinct. Ten Of them are over 1900
feet in height and three look down
upon fertile valleys from attitudes of
1872, 1856 and 1900 feet. These
are Popocatepetl. Orizaba and Ixtacci-
huatl.

their money. If there are classes Of
blind tigers ] regard the white man
who puts the negro between him and
the law and makes the negro dish
out the poison and finally land on the
county farm, while the real criminal
walks the streets wearing nice
Clothes bought with money coined
from the tears of women and children,
as the worst. He is the man to pun
ish; the negro is only tool and
reaps no profit from his acts.
Il believe this stuff the worst en-
envy of the human race. It has
caused more heartaches and pain,
more woe and misery than all other
agencies combined. It creates d.
sease and cures nothing; it bnghts
the hopes of thousands; it deprives
children of education; it bankrupts
rich men; it makes convicts, tramps
and beggars; feeds the divorce courts;
puts mortgages upon homesteads;
clothes wife and child in rags; it
builds houses of prostitution; supports
the jails and helps the penitentiary;
increases the expense of the courts;
disgraces the family and fills a grave
with a poor, old drunkard. 1t seems
to me that every good citizen should
exert every effort to Danish the stuff.
want you to take plenty of time on
this subject and not to leave stone
unturned to ferret out these dealers,
and if you will indict about a half
dozen white men in this city who are
backing the negroes, you will strike
the tap root of this evil.

Migrants.

Il next call your attention to the
law on vagrancy, and | am going 70
read it to you. I am told that this
city is infested with Migrants who
subsist by making merchandise of
their bodies and selling liquor. This
is a burning shame and a reflection
on the city of Hattiesburg. You will
find a sickly sentiment favoring these
evils, but I do not believe that any
crime is a necessity, and if this was a
necessity, your Legislature would leg
alize it. These places cause domestic
infelicity; they breed crime of various
kind and are a menace to society.

Butchers Keeping Record.

1t is the duty of each and every
butcher to keep a record of all cattle
bought and butchered by him, and if
this law is being violated you should
indict. You can see the wisdom of
this law as, unless 1t is observed, a
man can steal COW, sell her to the
butcher and there is no way of tracing
the thief unless he is seen with the
COW; but if a record is kept of the
party who sells it, the marks and
brands, you will have no trouble. if it
is sold to butcher.

We talk together of our hopes and
fears;
We think these friends shall never be
forgot,
The years pass on, and We remember
not.

Some friends of youth on whom our
hearts were set;
Oh, no! the years and silence 'twixt
us rolpd,
And left behind but friendships pur-
est gold,
Yes, some remain-the friends most
tried and true,
Not many ties can our hearts cleave
unto;
So few, that through all change CT
time and space,
Forever in our hearts will keep their
place.
So few congenial souls that bind us
With cords of love that will forever
last
We've friends, yes, many that we
wish "God-speed,'
Vet few there are that fill our deepest
need
To part from such friend is trial
sore,
For we cannot forget, and what is
more
We would not, if We could, so through
all space
We long to see the dear familiar
face.
Such tender friendships are not born
to die;
They're given here our lives to glorify
And when we go to live in realms
above,
Great JOY twill be to meet with those
we love!

"Blue Mouse" which causes most of

president to firt with his employer
and gain the secretary's promotion.
The plan is really put into operation,
and the Mouse has everyone scamper-

The play enjoyed run Of one year
at the Lyric Theatre, New York. It
remained for six months in Chicago,
for the same length Of time in Boston
and for ten weeks in Philadelphia.

SHOWS
GREAT GAIN
,,,s Cities Of the Country Almost All Show
Phenomenal Growth from Returns.

gain of 1872 per cent, rate o1
growth which the census bureau
pronounces 'phenomenally high
Of these ffty-four cities, thirty-one
show a lighter rate of increase fol
the last decade than for the previ-
GUS one. So far no decrease is no
ted in any of the cities.
While New Orleans growth the
last decade was only slightly below
her percentage Of increase Of the
decade before, the crescent city,
through more rapid growth Of other
cities in the 100000 class, loses its
position Of twelfth in the list Of the
country's largest cities and now oc-
cupies fifteenth place. Detroit, with
a 63 per cent increase, Milwaukee
with 81 per cent and Newark with
41.2 per cent all have jumped ahead
Of New Orleans in the number of In
habitants.
The census return on the city of
Chicago will be given to the public
in a short time. The actual figures
are secret in the census Office but
it is well understood that when
known they will record large in
crease. The increase, however, will
not be SO great proportionately as it
was in the census of 189G-l90O. Then
it was 54.4 per cent. Now it is ex-
pected that it will be little less
than 40 per cent, and a total Of al
most 100000 is expected. If the
rate of increase shown by New York
for the past ten years is attained,
the figures will be 1878, 105.
Whatever the exact relations may
be, Chicago's position as the second
city in the country is assured as, II
any event, the figures for that place
will surely be more than 100000 in
excess Of Philadelphia. This assur-
ance gives Chicago a place in the
worlds largest cities alongside of
Paris and Berlin.

Great Exhibition At Fair

Helena, Sept. 20.-Helena is to b,
the only city in the northwest wher,
there will be an actual aeroplane ex
hibition this fall. Aviator +. g. Mars
who was under contract to make flight.
at both Helena and Spokane, has can.
celled his engagement in the latter city
and Immediately after the close Of the
Montana state fair he will proceed tc
Chicago, where he will be contes-
tant in the aerial race from the windy
city to New York for purse Of s25. :

President T. E. Hammond Of the
Montana state fair has just returned
from st. Paul, where he witnessed
the achievements Of Mars in Curtiss
biplane, and to state that he was
pleased with the efforts Of the bird
man IS putting it mildly.
f'One must see these feats to appre-
ciate what they really mean,'' said
Mr.. Hammond, 'and the people Of
Montana are to be congratulated upon
the opportunity SO soon to be afforded
them Of witnessing the ascensions of
this daring aviator. I saw him at the
Minnesota state fair and he easily out
classed all others in the manipulation
Of his machine. He is as graceful as
bird and his control Of the aircraft is
little short Of marvellous. / thought
once that he had lost control and was
doomed for smashing of his machine
and possible injury to himself, but it
was only one of his evolutions to dem
onstra+e how perfect his control is.
s'Mars will arrive in Helena in
few days now and make all advance
arrangements for his daily flights at
the Montana state fair. These are mat
ters Of more or less detail, but the one
thing | would impress upon the public
is that he will certainly be here and
further that he will make daily flights
from starting point directly in front
Of the grandstand. That he will be
greeted by immense crowds cannot be
gainsaid.
All other plans are now complete
for the fair-sept. 26-O Oct. |, and in
every respect it will be larger and

tends a cordial welcome to all visitors.
