On Parting.

The kiss, dear maid thy lip hath left
Shall never part from mine,
Till happier hours restore the gift
Untainted back to thine.
Thy parting glance, which fondly beams,
An equal love may see;
The tear that from thine eyelid streams,
Can weep no change in me.
l ask no pledge to make me blest
In gazing when alone;
Nor one memorial for breast
Whose thoughts are all thine own,
BY day or night, n veal or woe.
That heart, no longer free,
Must bear the love it cannot show,
And silent ache for three.
Byron.

Ejuht for a Gun.

The girl grabbed the muzzle of the
gun, and while holding it it was dis
charged, the entire load of shot going
into her thigh and inflicting injury
from which physicians say she can
not recover.
Upon getting the gun released,
Bearden turned it on the old man,
and shot one side of his head off. At
this time another one of the girls
grappled with Bearden in an effort to
stop the wholesale slaughter, but
again the gun was fired and she lost
a finger, but succeeded in some man
ner in disiointing the gun, a breech-
loader, leaving the stock in the hands
of the infuriated murderer. With this
he attacked the two remaining unin-
jured children and clubbed them un-
mercifully. He then took to the
woods and has not yet been seen or
heard of since.

BOTH FACTIONS ARE
CLAIMING VICTORY
Bu: at 8 O'clock This Afternoon The
Opposition Appeared to Have the
Advantage-Result Will BE Very
Close.

=. The battle of ballots, which will de-
whether or not this city will
s.. ,pt the commission form of govern
Vt, is on in earnest, and before 8
q. siock tonight those citizens who
ook part on either side OF the fight
III know which faction has won the
rictory.
Before the polls opened this morn
ing, crowds of enthusiastic voters
were gathered at their respective vot-
ing places. eager to cast their ballots
according to their respective way of
thinking, and incidentally endeavoring
to convert all unbelievers to their re-
spective causes.
Every inch of the ground has been
contested, both factions claim victo-
ry, and during the day many heated
discussions have taken place. Cam
paign literature has been freely dis
tributed statements have been met by
counter.statements, but taken all in
all. the entire proceedings have been
conducted in a most commendable
manner.
Advocates OF the new form claim
that they have carried the day by
a majority of two to one, while the
opposition is more conservative in
its estimate, claiming safe majority
against the proposition.
A majority of those who favor the
: cSange voted early, and by 10 o'clock
perhaps two-thirds of their vote had
been polled, while the opposition is
depending largely upon the labor"
vote, which has been slow, and large
proportion of which is expected to
show up after o'clock this after
noon
There will scarcely be more than a
total of six hundred votes polled at
this election, and each faction is con-
fident of a safe majority of this num-
ber The total number of voters
qualified to take part in this contest
is 7S0; but it is estimated that at
least 1S0 of these will remain away
from the polls for various reasons.
A. O'Clock this afternoon total
of four hundred and sixty votes had
been polled, and at that hour the op-
position appeared to have the advant,
age.

The Tip Given.

Neither Judge Hart nor Attorney
General McCarn is alarmed, but they
will see that no pistol is passed in
court next Monday.
Yesterday morning a man, who said
that he is ''one of the barkeepers of
the city" called up a reporter on the
telephone and said:
There is a plan TO assassinate
Judge Hart Monday. One of our re.
lows heard one of the men under in
dictment for selling whisky unfold his
plan for having one of his friends pass
him pistol. if he is convicted, with
which he will shoot the Judge. I
don't know whether he would have the
nerve to do it or not, but he says he
is going to, and all of us know him
to be a desperate character. The bar
keepers will not stand for that kind
Of thing, and one of us has written a
letter to Judge Hart in order to put
him on his guard"
Efforts to learn the identity of the
man who gave this information were
futile. When asked to give his name.
he Immediately hung up the receiver.
The operator stated that the man talk
ed from public pay station.
Judge Hart was seen a few minutes
later and stated that he had received
the letter. It was written on plain
paper, in a disguised hand and no
clue could be had as to where it
came from. 1T was signed "Barkeep-
err" In the letter the statement is
made that the man under Indictment
proposes to kill both Judge Hart and
Gen. McCarn. but that he will shoot
the former first, to make sure, and
then take chances on getting the at
torney-general The plan Of having
friend pass him a pistol is mentioned
in the letter. In fact, the statements
of the letter conform closely to the
statements made over the telephone
to the reporter.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 12.-Whefi {ldo
Democratic caucus adjourned Friday
afternoon until Tuesday night the
Senatorial deadlock was tied up tight
er than ever before.
Not even during the first week of
the contest, when seven candidates
were in the field, was the memorable
fight further from a final decision.
The entry of Col. H. M. Street, the
venerable speaker of the house and
chairman of the caucus, as formal
candidate forged another and very
formidable bolt in the lock. There
are now five active and aggressive
candidates contesting for the honor,
and no politician has a prophetic
vision sufficiently clear to forecast
the finish.
Col. Streets formel entry was a
surprise to everybody save his active
friends, who brought him into the
race. When it was announced that
he intended to resign as chairman of
the caucus and become an active con-
testant the Vardaman forces quickly
interpreted it as trick of the oppo-
sition, and the opposition was equally
quick in declaring that they had moth
ing to do with it; that Col Street had
not consulted the opposition lead
ers, and if it was his intention to run
he was doing so on his own volition.
Some of his more enthusiastic sup
porters thought that his entry might
serve to Immediately break the dead
lock, but those who have been in
close touch with the situation since
the beginning knew that nothing
short of a political miracle could
bring that about.
Neither faction lost heavily on ac-
count of Col Streets announcement.
OF the twenty votes cast for him on
the first ballot about half were from
the Vardaman column, and the re-
mainder from the anti-Vardaman
camp.
Adjournment was taken until Tues
day night Scores of the legislators
left today for their homes to spend
Sunday, and will not return until Mon
day afternoon. large joint commit
tee from the two houses left on the
morning train for Beauvoir to visit
the Soldiers Home. The usual week
end dullness is settling down over
the capital, but all candidates will
doubtless keep their force actively at
work from now until Tuesday night
perfecting new line-ups and getting
in readiness for renewal of the fray.
