Case Nearing Close.

All of the evidence in the celebrat-
ed Brownsville case now is before
the court, Of inquiry and it is expect
ed the opinion of the court will be
ready for submission to congress
within the next two weeks. The COM
manders of three of the negro COM
panies, which were dismissed from
the service by President Roosevelt,
have submitted evidence strongly dis
crediting the hitherto accepted state
ments of witnesses that all Of the
ammunition at the Brownsville post
was accounted for. The testimony
OF these officers was to the effect that
In one company from 500 to 1000
rounds of ammunition were missing
and In another company, a surplus
Is shown, and in still another the
records were so imperfectly kept that
it was impossible to state whether
there was shortage or net. Almost
the last item of testimony received by
tho board was the deposition of
Thomas Hill, negro from Wyoming,
who was acquainted with one of the
soldiers supposed to have been inn
plicated in the shooting up of the
town. This soldier, now dead, not
long after the Brownsville affair, told
him that the negro soldiers shot into
the town, not only from the barracks,
but also from the enclosuye in which
the barracks are located.

criticised with ever increasing out
spokenness. Three recent examples,
which a couple of years ago would
have been regarded as aggravated
lese, earning long terms of imprison-
ment for the editors concerned, suf
flee to show the revolution which has
taken place in the German press con-
ditions.
The first in the violent attack on
the kaiser in the anti-Semitic news
paper. Hammer, because his majesty
persist in association with wealthy
Jewish merchants and bankers. The
paper declares the ancient Prussian
nobility will boycott the court unless
the kaiser refuses intimate friendship
to the Jews.
The second instance, which is from
Welt and Montag, is of a kind pc
culiarly offensive to the kaiser, being
an imputation on his capacity for gen
eralship. The paper quotes an arti-
Gle wherein the French general Bou-
nal says: "If there were war between
France and Germany it would be the
most fortunate thing in the world for
us IL the kaiser chose to be his own
general and conduct the operations
himself"
The Konigberg Volkszeitung Sc
verely criticises the recent increase
in the kaiser's salary, declaring the
fact he had to provide for his sons
was no reason for granting it.

The first plan would only furnish
temporary relief, as the Governor
views the situation, while the latter
would be sufficient for many years to
come. The old capitol is being allow
ed to go to ruin, and in four or five
years more, unless something is to
be done with the building, there win
be little left aside from the walls.
1t has even been suggested by the
Governor what departments could be
removed to the old capitol. The first
of these is the Supreme court, which
judge Whitfield said sometime ago
could occupy the senate chamber of
the old capitol. This would give
ample room, as there are several COM
mittee rooms the justices and COM
missioners could use for offices.
The adjutant generals office could
also be removed to the old capitol,
along with the Railroad Commission
and State library. By removing these
departments to the old capitol, which
would necessitate its repair and in
sure the building being preserved, the
other state officers would have ample
room for years to come. The Insur-
ance Commissioner and the Revenue
Agent are other officers who could
be removed to the old capitol, if nec-
essary, as they have very little direct
connection with the Governor.
Governor Noel may, though he did
not intimate that he would, suggest in
his last message to the legislature
that some such plan be adopted. If
he does, he will point out how, since
the new capitol was built, the state
has developed. At the time the new
capitol was first occupied by the
state officers, there was ample room,
and was not believed additional rooms
would be necessary, but in less than
a decade the state has outgrown this
building, and more will be necessary
"iIhih thC hCAb lfc yCdlo.
What to do with the old capitol has
been a mooted question ever since the
new one was built. 1t was not be-
lieved, even four years ago, that the
state would ever be crowded for room
as it is today and it was suggested
that the old capitol be torn down, sold
or otherwise disposed of. The crowd
ed condition of the new capitol will
solve this question, 1t seems, as the
state will have to spend probably
100000 on it for repairs, before it
can be occupied by anything except
bats and sparrows, with any degree
of comfort or safety.

new CAPITAL
is C0NGESTED
And Legislature May be Called Upon
to Provide More Room For State
Officials.

Special to The Neaos.
Jackson, Miss, July 21.-It is prob
able the next legislature will be called
upon to provide additional room for
the state officers. The new capitol
has become congested in the last sew
en- years, and there is not room in the
building for all the officers and their
records.
Governor Noel discussed this mat
ter today in general way. Like ev-
cry other officer of the state, the Gov
ernor realizes the business of the COM
monwealth has outgrown the hand
some new capitol, and that it is only
a question of time till additional
quarters will have to be made for
some Of the officers.
He has suggested two plans-one
to make cellar under the entire
building for all official records, and
the other to utilize the old capitol.

SUMMER HAIR DRESSING
Ask Owl Drug Co. For Partisan SAGE,
If You Want The Best.

Almost everybody in Hattiesburg
knows that there is no preparation for
the hair that can compare with Pa
risian Sage.
1t cures dandruff, stops falling hair
and itching scalp in two weeks or
money back.
1t puts radiance and lustre into that
dull, lifeless hair that many women
possess, and does it in a few days.
1t makes hair grow; prevents hair
from turning gray and is without
doubt the most refreshing and invig-
Grating hair tonic in the world.
1t is daintily perfumed and is not in
the least sticky or greasy.
In summer, people of refinement use
it regularly, because it keeps the scalp
cool and free from odor of perspira-
tion.
On March 25, 1910, Lulu D. Fix, of
Raphine, Va, wrote: Partisan Sage
is wonderful hair restorer; it
stopped my scalp from itching; also
cured the dandruff. I only used one
bottle, but I like it so much l am

SUSPECTS CAUGHT
In MURDER Case
Two Men Were Arrested for Killing a
Man Whose Body Was Found
by Dogs, Near Biloxi.
Special to The Net0s.

Special to The Net0s.
Meadville, Miss, July 21.--Alex
Gamble, a white man, and Otis Gam
BILE, a mulatto boy about is years of
age, and who by common repute is a
son of the white man, are under ar
rest here, charged with completely in
the murder of the unknown white man
whose body was found Sunday morn
ing by Newman Collier, in a thicket
about two miles west of Roxie, MI
Golfers dogs having dug up the
corpse.
The men were caught in Jefferson
county, and were brought here yester-
day by Sheriff Jones. While it is
said there is no positive evidence
against the prisoners, circumstancial
evidence is said to be strong against
them.
The dead body which was found, ap-
peared to have been buried for per-
haps seven or eight days, and was
greatly decomposed, so that recogni-
tion was impossible. Appearances
indicated that he was killed by a blow
on the head with heavy instrument,
the skull being crushed, right arm
broken below the shoulder, the right
leg entirely severed from the body,
and the left leg broken. A maui was
found near cabin, short distance
away, with traces of blood on it, in
dicating that it was the instrument
by which the blow was dealt. Blood
was also found on the cabin, and it
is thought that the man was killeu in
the cabin and carried to the field and
buried. The cabin had been occupied
for some time previous by the Gam
bles, the prisoners, who were engaged
in getting out cross-ties on the place
nearby.
About three days previous to the
finding of the body, it is said, man
of neat appearance was seen to go
into this cabin, but was never seen to
leave it.
No one knows anything of the man,
or of his returning, and common opin-
ion is that he was killed in the cabin.
He had previously gotten off Missis-
sippi Central railroad train and driven
over to Roxie and made inquiries of
citizens as to how to reach the point
at which the prisoners were getting
out timber, but did not tell his busi-
ness.
