WAS ARRESTED
At HOUSTON, TEX.
Ray A. Tempiett, Charged With For
gerry and Embezzlement, Brought
Back to Hattiesburg Today.

Deputy Sheriff D. G. McGilvray re-
turned this morning from Houston,
Tex, having in charge Ray A. Temp
lett, formerly of Hattiesburg, who
was arrested on a charge of forgery
and embezzlement, the charge having
been made by Mr.. ]. D. Bennett. man.
ager Of the Hattiesburg Insurance
Agency, by whom Templett was for
merly employed.
Both accusations are emphatically
denied by Templett. He stated that
he had committed no forgery, nor had
he appropriated money to which he
was not entitled. His version of the
case is that during the early winter
when Mr.. Bennett left the city for a
brief period. on hunting trip, he left
with Templett number of checks
signed in blank, with instructions to
pay certain bills which might be pre-
sented. One Of these checks. he
stated, was made payable to himself
and these funds he naturally colelcteo
and appropriated. Further than this
however, he denies having any respon
sibility in the matter.
It is understood that mum rous ir
regularities in the accounts and con
ducts of this young man during his
connection with the Hattiesburg In
surance Agency are charged against
him. and the outcome ofz4he case i;
anxiously awaited. Ter 5wel

"Mrs. Casey,' is delightful bit or work, as Miss Eolbrook does it. The dialect is wonderful, the business yet more wonderful. Last night Miss Hol- brook was compelled to sing verse af- ter verse; and probably would be sing ing yet, had she been willing to con- tinue.
 MT. Lean, in his "Fan, Fan, Fan, produced a bit of life taken straight from the diamond. We all know him, and the audience recognized him in the delightful portion of real life which the talented actor tore off his roper tOire.'
 Probably no two people have ever occupied the stage longer together with two songs and the business at tached thereto than Miss Holbrook and MT. Lean do in these two songs, and it is scarcely possible that two peo- pie have ever pleased an audience more during the same period by the clock. Vera Finlay, as Mrs. Hunter Chase, was also a satisfactory contri- button to the performance.
 Among the features, Good Old Days of Yore," is entitled to mention, both for the beauty of the ensemble, and because it uses the chorus as a means of reproducing the evolution of Amer ican dress from the discovery of Amer ica until the present day and then over into the 21st century.
 The performance will be repeated this afternoon and evening. The person who goes is assured of This moneys Worth,'' which is much more than peo- pie usually get in these commercial dayS

NOT POISON ENOUGH
 TO KILL AN INSECT
 FROM HALLEY'S COMET.

Ann Arbor, Feb. 10.-Prof w. J. rIussey. astronomer of the University # Michigan. ridicules the idea that my danger to life might result when
 he earth passes through the tail of Halley's comet.
 "Ail comets are of the same chem cal nature'' said Prof. Hussey. ''The 7arth has passed through comets tails before. and no bad effects have been eelt. The comet is 14,000.00O miles lway, and the cyanogen gas from it will not be sufficient to produce any noticeable effect. It will be like add ing one no1ecule of gas to a large 'oonful of air There cannot be any the small quantity of hydrocyanic acid which might result in the atmosphere. You will find fifty times more of the same gas in any chemical labora- tory.''

LIVE STOCK RECEIPTS BELOW THE AVERAGE
FIGURES JUST ISSUED BY BU- REAU OF STATISTICS AT WASH INGTON SHOW GREAT FALLING OFF LAST YEAR

Special from United Press)
 Washington, Feb. 10.-Figures which show that maybe the meat trust is not altogether responsible for the raise in the cost of steaks, outlets and chops. came from the Bureau of Statistics to- day. The bureau in a special state ment declares the livestock receipts at the seven leading interior markets for 1909 were considerably lower than the average for the past 5 years.
 During the year receipts of hogs at these seven centers totalled 1884, ,641 head, as against 22,S63,701 in 1908. and the general average of over 19CO0, 900 since 1904. The cattle receipts were g. 189,312, as against S,827,360 in 1908, an increase, but still not anything like the totals for the years 1905, 1906 and 1907 The 1909 average of sheep, 10,- 284, ,905 head, while in excess of like totals for the two preceding years, shows a smaller total tban the figures for 1905 and 1907. The cattle receipts for 1909 at Chicago, 1929, ,S05, fell below 3,O00,000 for the first time since 1902. Chicago also suffered a loss in receipts of hogs.
 An estimate of loaded cattle cars in- bound to the seven cities shows de- crease of more than per cent below the average of the past 5 years. The annual shipments of packinghouse
  pounds, were below these reported for any of the five previous years. Also the stocks of meat, as reported for the five principal packing centers at the end of the year, 35,437,505 pounds, were below like figures reported un- der the same dates in each of the last cities.
 The bureau also calls attention to the fact that the 1909 receipts of live stock at the four principal Atlantic Seaboard ports were less than for 1908 and 1907. The decline is particularly noticeable in hogs.
 Like meat, grain receipts at the 15 principal interior markets during 1909 were lower than for any year since 1904-744 ,06S bushels. There was also heavy decline in grain and flour receipts at the principal Atlantic Sea- board cities as compared with 1908 and 1907 All these facts will be presented to the special committee of the Sena te when it again sits in the inquiry into the present high prices for the neces- SitieS of life

THE NEWSBOY.
(Hartford Times.)

It is we'll to have the fact noted that Frederic B. Hall of Bridgeport, the new chief justice of the Connecti- cut supreme court of errors, started in as a newsboy. The number of em- inent and useful men in the United States who began life by selling papers is very large. Ex-Governor Tom Waller of New London is familiar example.
 We suppose. that a census of per sons who were once newsboys but who have attained distinction and are now influential citizens would foot up thousands. The training which they obtained in selling papers has proved useful A youngster who makes successful newsboy develops qualities which enable him to climb. Alertness, energy reSourcefulnesS, self-reliance, persistence and endurance become a part of his equipment, if he is worth his salt, and these are qualities which are useful in any occupation. If 2. boy achieves marked success in sell ing newspapers, he is likely, grown up, to achieve success in any calling which he enters.
 The rugged and hardy qualities which Chief Justice Hall acquired as a newsboy have been helpful to him. They formed a solid foundation on which his subsequent career has been erected. Newsboys as a class are a mighty bright and enterprising lot of little fellows-a credit to themselves and to the community.

The dainty little affair took place last night in a sa- loon packed so full of interested spec tators that "Boots'' had scarcely room in which to work his jaws.
 On a former occasion Reiptti put away ten pounds of turkey, three quarts of sauerkraut. one quart of cranberries. half gallon of raw oys ters, pint of ketchup. a half pint Of olive oil, one gallon of beer, one loaf of bread and twelve stalks of celery.
