clearing of his title, Senator Per-
cy requested the Mississippi
legislature to take special action,
in order that a senatorial prima-
ry be called in November to de-
termine whether the people pre-
ferred former Governor James
K. Vardaman or any other citi-
zen to himself to represent toe
state at Washington.
A regular primary to ascel tain
the will of the people with re-
gard to a full term to begin
March 4, 1913, will be held in
August of next year, so that the
primary asked for by Mr.. Percy
would be an extra primary to
determine whether in the judg-
ment Of the people there is a
cloud upon his title. The victor
in the extra primary will be Sc
lected in August. 1911. for the
full or long term.
In his address to the legisla-
ture Mr.. Percy said:
For fifteen years Vardaman
has sung the song of the Office
seeker to the people of Mississ-
ippi and he is familiar with ev-
cry nook and corner of the state
and naught can come to him by
a longer canvass. / am unknown
to thousands of the people of
Mississippi, but I am prepared
to go before that people and de-
fend the integrity and honor of
the legislature of the state of
Mississippi, and to vindicate
their intelligence when they said
that the people of the state are
weary of Vardamanism."
And so in these days of ma
chine politics, of organization
chicanery, Of primary manipula-
ton and the choice of senators
in our richest states by the mon
eyed support of railroads and
trusts. we see Leroy Percy too
proud of the honor of his state
and his own rectitude to retain
an Office the title of which could
be tainted by the slander Of the
meanest enemy.
Gordon made thoughtful men
recall regretfullv the days when
Lamar, Bates, Garland, Vest,
Beck and Wade Hampton and
such admirable parliamentary
foemen preserved the best tradi-
tions of the South.
He seemed but a superb sur
vival blocking but for a moment
the full flow of the scum that
rose to the top fifteen years
ago-just a momentary check to
Vardaman taking his place be-
side Tillman and Jeff Davis, of
Arkansas.
But Senator Leroy Percy has
displayed that fine civic honor
that is the goal toward which
the awakened morality Of the
whole nation is striving today.
1t is the spirit of conservation of
ideals as we'll as of natural re-
sources. 1t is the essence of the
so-called insurgency" in Wash
ington and among the people. 1t
is the signal that the end of the
solid South" will come with the
merging of all dead issues into
the vital one of patriotism
against privilege.
Mississippi declares that the
strength and sanity of the South
are casting off the control of
blatherskites. The middle West
has rejected and the East is
wearying of mastery by the hir-
ed servants of criminal wealth.
The good new thought is un-
iversal. But every state must
look admiringly upon the one
that chose for it's senators Jim"

HAS TWO GOOD TROPHIES
Fossils In Noxubee Find the County il
Rich IN Prehistoric Bones and
Relics.

Prof. e. N. Lowe, State GeOlo-
gist, is in the city installing a
couple of valuable, assets in his
collection of fossils, clays, etc., in
the front rOtunda of the capitol.
He had just returned from NOxu-
bee county, where the soil survey
is now under way, and while
there was presented with couple
of fossils that are rare in this sec
tion of the country, but which he
found common in that great prai-
rie belt of Mississippi, and which
he declares a magnificent land.
One Of the trophies is the tooth
of mastOdOn-a great jaw tooth
with three rows of grinders, and
which could not have come from
the head of any animal smaller
than a full grown elephant. This
tooth was contributed by Senator
Price, and is one of the most in
teresting as well as valuable ad
ditions to the geological cOllec-
ton.
The other contribution is by
Charles Strong, and is classed and
labelled as q "radiOlites. This
is the shell or front horn of a
monster sea animal, and in which
the animal seems to have lived
and had it's being, the shell is not
complete, having been broken in
three large pieces, and a section
seeming to be missing, but there
is sufficient to show what it was
and the use to which nature had
put it. The inhabitant of this
shell must have lived something
on the order of an oyster of i'm
mense proportions, but his home,
or shell, was of oval, OblOng
shape, and three or four inches
thick, and as hard as flint. -Clar

FISH 80 YEARS a CAPTIVE
When Released II Knew Something
Besides How to Swim in
Circle.

A big sturgeon that has been pris-
oner 80 years has just been released
from his long captivity and set free
In the Columbia river. The fish was
taken from the Columbia river. near
Cascade locks, In the spring of 1880.
Il was caught in a fish wheel and was
given to the late Or. W. Fl. Adams OF
Hood River
The sturgeon was placed in a small
pond on the Adams ranch, says the
Portland Journal There were then
two ponds on the place. and the fish
was changed from one TO the other
from time to time. Some years ago
the ponds filled with grass and weeds,
and the water became so shallow that
the back OF the sturgeon was biistered
by theAsun.
The fish was then moved to the pool
Of fountain on the farm, where 1t
swan aboGt in a circle. 1t kept grow
Ing bigger. until it was about six feet
long and the fountain was too small a
place for it to be kept.
Mrs. Sue M. Adams Armstrong, own
er of the farm, ordered the release Of
the pet fish, and the sturgeon was
carted to the Columbia river and set
free.
Interested spectators predicted the
fish would swim in small circle in
the river from the habit Of 80 years,
but this was not true Dazed for
moment by the unaccustomed extent Of
water, the sturgeon hesitated. and then
swan away to the deep channel Of the
river.

DEATH OF. DR., .HOFTOE.
AT new LONDON.

1t is with regret this week that
we must announce the death Of one
Of our we'll known and highly re-
spected citizens. DR.. Ole T. Hof-..
toe died at his home in this village
at 5'clock Sunday morning, after
a lingering suffering from cancer
of the stomach. His death had
been expected, but still, when it
became known that the end had
come, it cast gloom over the en-
tire community. 49,:
Ole Tollefson Hoftoe was born on
q farm near Clinton, on Jefferson
Prairie, Rock County, Wis, July
I, 1854. When he was ten years of
age his father met with an acct
dental death. and as he was the old
est child, great part of the care Of
the family then went to him. He
was bright boy, and secured a
good rural education. and for a
number of years worked the farm.
At the age of %. he entered Beloit
college and after three years Of
hard work, prepared himself for
Rush Medical College. from which
he received degree in medicine.
He first practised in Lanesboro,
Fillmore county, MIMI, filling the
office of surgeon for the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul 'Ry. Co.
On Dec. 20, 1886, he was united in
marriage to Miss Betsey Olson,
Lanesboro. In 1887 the family
moved to Abercrombie, Rich]and,
N. D. Here he practised very Sue
cessfully for nearly ten years, fill
ling the Office Of coroner of Rich
land county for a period of three
years. In the fall of 1895 he
moved to New London, where he
practised steady up to a few months
ago, when his health failed him.
The cancer germs seemed to have
been in his system, as he was at
Chicago few years ago and had a
growth removed from his lip.
| Besides his wife he is survived
by nine children, Rowena and c.
celia, who are attending the St.
Cloud Normal school. Tilda, who is
teaching in the vicinity of New
London, Irving, Nellie, Clara, Rose,
Knute and Edwin, who are staying
at home, also two brothers, Jolly
and Knute, and one sister, Miss
Nellie Hoftoe, the latter two resid.
ing at New London.
The Borrowing family have the
sympathy Of the entire community
in their bereavment.- London
Times.
The funeral took place last Fri
day afternoon. Services were held
at the home at / o'clock, and at
1:30 at the Norwegian Lutheran
church. Rev. G.. E. Nordberg con-
|ducted the last sad rites. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the Oak

BIG Antlers Found.

What was supposed to be an elk s
horn but most probably is that of
a large-sized deer was found last
Sunday in the big slough southwest
of the Chas. Kragenbring place in
Harrison by Albert, August and
Joe Manner and C. D. Benin. On
account Of the past seasons drouth
and also drainage due to the coun-
ty ditch this slough is now in a dry
condition and consequently the big
horn was left exposed. 1t was dis
covered in the middle of the
slough. The horn measures about
d feet in height and has eight
prongs. 1t is pretty we'll preserved
and is fine specimen. 1t is most
likely that of a deer that no doubt
had been pursued by hunters years
ago. and had persisted in the slough,
which at that time was large body
of water. The skull was also
found. -Atwater Rep. Press.
