Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, who has been engrossed for several years past in experiments with kites formed from tetrahedral cells and who has latterly designed a manlifting kite that has made wonderful performances. has included wireless telegraphy as one branch of his kite investigations. For this telegraphic work he has employed kite of com paratively modest size preceded by a small pilot kite, and these have usually been flown at height of about 2,000 feet The kites carry aloft tele- graphic equipment in the form of ordinary green electriclight cord, to the upper end receiving terminal of which is attached 400 feet of antennae wire. The telegraph operator is stationed close by the reel of piano wire-the point from which the kite is sent up.
 Dr. Bell has had the cooperation in these ex- periments of MT. De Forest, inventor of the wire less telegraphy system which bears his name as well as the aid of other wireless teegraphy experts The original kite messages via the artificial birds sent aloft by pr. Bell were transmitted a distance of only six miles. but gradually this was increased until the transmission attained hundreds of miles and included the exchange of aerograms with steamers more than 100 miles at sea- In one ex- pertinent the telegraph operator caught the mes sages after passage through the bodies of two men who stood at the side of the receiving instrument The men casped hands and one grasped the tee. graph wire from the kite with his free hand while the other held in his the receiving instrument

Mr.. R. G. Piper, agent for Campbell
Bros Big Show, was in town today.
Says the popularity of the Campbell
Bros Shows and the general satisfac-
ton of the performances renders an
Introduction scarcely necessary to the
public. The Campbell Bros. have
spent vast amount of money in deco
rations, trappings, wardrobe and gen.
eral paraphernalia, rendering the cir
Gus the most pleasing and containing
the largest lot Of talent ever seen in
the country. The camels are coming,
but they do not carry any catch games

GREATEST Event IN
HATTIESBURG'S HISTORY
Magnificent Street Pageant, Automo-
bile Parade, Demonstration by Fire
Department, Fine Fireworks Spe-
cial Features.

The second annual South Missis-
sippi Prosperity Celebration is on in
all its glory today, and the streets of
the Magic City are thonged with
thousands of enthusiastic pleasure
seekers from all sections of South
Mississippi. In addition to the visi-
tors to the celebration, the thousands
of people who are here to attend the
Confederate reunion and the South
Mississippi corn show, which opened
yesterday, compose the largest crowd
ever seen in this city or any other
city of this section of Mississippi
All incoming trains yesterday after
noon and last night brought loads
upon loads of visitors who were de-
sirous of being on the grounds early
in order to get the full benefit of
their visit, and special trains on all
railroads which arrived this morning
were loaded to their utmost capacity.
1t is estimated that Hattiesburg is
host to 5000 visitors to the Pros
perity Celebration and the Confeder-
ate Reunion, and everything possible
is being done for their entertainment.

MISS. EXHIBIT AT
The Ohio FAIR
Corn Exhibit is Especially Good, and
is Said to Rank With the Best
Shown in Cincinnati.

jackson, Miss, Oct. 13.-The Mis-.
sissippi exhibit at the Ohio Valley
Exposition, Cincinnati, is attracting a
great deal of attention, especially the
wheat and corn. The corn exhibit
from this State is especially good.
ranking with the best, and has caused
many expressions of amazement.
even among Mississippians who have
attended the exposition.
The mineral exhibit, while not as
varied as many States, is an excel
lent one, and is also attracting much
attention, but the farm products are
the center of attraction, and many
inquiries are beng made about eli
matte conditions here as a result of
this exhibit.
The fame of Mississippi as corn
producing State is spreading over
the country rapidly, but the display
OF corn from this State at the expo
sition is giving farmers of other
States an idea of the productiveness
of the soil of this State. Mississippi
has always been regarded as a cot
ton State in the past, but the West
ern farmers declare the Mississippi
corn is as good as any produced in
the Western States.
Mississippi grown wheat is also at
tracing a great deal of attention, as
well as hay and other farm products,
and this exhibit seems to be the
most timely advertising the State has
ever done. Farmers of the North
and West are looking for cheap land
in the South, but have always been
under the impression they could pro-
duce nothing but cotton here, but the
various and excellent farm products
displayed at Cincinnati has disabused
their minds of this idea.

CLERGY and LAITY ARE
MAKING ARRANGEMENTS
Expected That There Will be Many
Changes in Pastoral Assignments,
as Many Pastors Are Now SERVING
Four-Year Tenures.

Members of the clergy and laity are
making arrangements for the annual
session of the Mississippi Conference
of the Methodist church, which will
be convened at Hattiesburg on the 7th
of November.
The conference will be presided over
by Bishop E. D. Mouzin, of Texas,
one of the new members of the Col
lege of Bishops. Bishop Mouzin is ex-
pected to reach Jackson within the
next ten days, and will make tour
of the important pastoral charges, for
the purpose of familiarizing himself
with conference conditions.
The November meeting will be one
of exceptional Importance to the
church, and there will be a large vol
ume of business for transaction. Fol-
lowing the general conference session
held once in four years, new boards
and standing committees are chosen,
and keen interest will be shown in
this feature of the gathering. A COM
plete organization must be perfected,
including the mission and educational
boards, church extension, examina-
tion, etc., and the week allotted for
the conference will be fully occupied
1t is expected also that there will
be important changes in pastoral as
signments, for some of the dearing
members of the clergy are finishing
four-year tenures and are therefore
slated for transfer.

The history of DR.. Dunbar Rowland
being unsatisfactory to the division
and having been discussed at last
years meeting, this was discussed
and resolutions offered that the chair
appoint a committee to introduce a

the Daughters of the Confederacy have

They have told me to tell the Daugh-

magnificent memorial; and that, while
this feeling of gratitude fills their
hearts individually, it comes to them
reinforced and a thousand times null

feeling from the hearts of the constit-
uencies which they represent. For be

Gdeat Demonstration on First Ami.
versary of EXECUTION of Bold
French Reformer.
(By Union Associated Press.)


Paris, Oct. 13.-A year ago todav
Prof. Francisco Ferrer, "the Tolstoi
of the Latins," standing erect and
fearless, gazed unflinchingly into the
deadly barrels of rifles aimed at his
heart, and, dismissing with a scorn-
full word priest who offered the
consolation of religion, addressed
himself to the soldiers who were
about to take his life:
Aim carefully, my children" he
said, "it is not your fault. I am in
nocent. Long live the modern"
The word schools" was lost in the
crack Of rifles, and the victim of
Bourbon Spain plunged forward in
the trench, dead.
Today the anniversary of the tragic
death of the man now proclaimed as
a martyr was celebrated throughout
the world. In this city some of the
greatest literary and scientific men
and women of the age Joined III hon.
oring the memory of Ferrer. A mon
ument to the Spanish martyr was
dedicated with ceremonies in which

guished members of the Academy of
lmmortals; Nine. Cruie, the discov-
erer of radium Georges Clemenceau.
representatives of the government,
and savants from all the learned So
cieties of the Republic participated.
Ferrer memorial scientific schools
were dedicated in several cities, and
in fifty French municipalities streets
and boulevards were named after
Ferrer.
In Brussels, the headquarters of
the international Ferrer memorial
movement, monument was dedi-
Gated today. In Germany, Prof. Ernst
Haeckel, perhaps the greatest living
scientist, is at the head of the Ferrer
movement. Other famous men pac-
ticipating in today's celebration in va
rious European cities include Maurice
Maeterlinck, Beorge Brandes and
Maxim Gorky. Joseph McCabe is at
the head of the movement in Eng
land.
The present warfare in Spain is
due in large measure to the influence
of Ferrer. 1t has been practically
admitted by the present Spanish gov
ernment that the evidence" on which
Ferrer was charged with completely
in the Barcelona rioting was forged.
and was proved to be forgery at
the court-martial which convicted the
Spanish educator. Ferrers counsel,
an army officer, protested at the
hearing against the introduction of
evidence so palpably absurd, and was
himself arrested. Certainly the "evi-
dence" has never been made public,
despite the promises that it would
be.
Investigations of the Aurore, the
Beige, the Avanti, the Voltaire, the
Manchester Guardian and other lead
ing European newspapers have shown
that the real charges against Ferrer
were three in number:
First, he was the pionee, in secular
education in Spain, and refused to
cease his activity as an educator.
Second, he gave finar cial support
to the labor unions of Spain, and re-
fused to withdraw this support when
to do so by the military
Third, he refused to withdraw from
a study of the French
revolution, of which he was the au-
thor, and in which he traced the mis-
cry of the Sapish masses to their
economic and religious thraldom, and

%. 8 C. STRIKE MAY
Soon l|||]| Be SETTLED II

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 13.-Advices
received by local railway clerks are
to the effect that the strike on the
Queen and Crescent system may soon
be settled. If the strike is settled, it
will be through the intervention of
commercial bodies in cities along the
lines of the Queen and Crescent sys-
TEN.
The railroad officers refused to
treat with the strikers, declaring they
were no longer in the employ of the
road, and there was nothing to dis
cuss with them. Traffic has been NOV
ing with more rapidity recently, and
all the lines of the Queen and Cres-
cent system are working rather
smoothly, though there is still a
shortage Of experienced men in some
departments.
For time traffic was crippled to
considerable extent on account of
the strike, and the commercial or.
ganizations of Mississippi and Loui.
siana took up the matter in general
way, and the fact that the business
men have taken notice of the strike
seems to have had desirable effect,
since prospects, according to reports,
are good for settlement. and most
of the old clerks will return to their
former positions, it is understood.
