MADISON r. LARK|N
 CONVENTIONS CHOICE
He Is Now the Candidate of the Pro hibition Party for Governor of
 Pennsylvania.

Madison F. Larkin, of Scranton, in a convention at Harrisburg, nomi- mated for the gOvernorship of that state by the prohibition party The fact is of interest to many in Phoenix, as MT. Larkin over a quarter of cen tury ago was a resident of this city and is well remembered by all the local survivors of that day and genera tion.
 The nomination came to Mir. Larkin after a spirited contest in the conven- ton, with two opponents. H. T. Ames. an attorney of Williamsport, and D. Clarence Gibboney. q Philadelphia re- former. When Larkin's name came up his prohibition record was attacked; that is, his political record, for no one accused him of being off the water wagon, but it was stated that he had not always consistently supported the prohibition ticket in late years. In re- sponse to a question from pr. Silas c. Swallow, former prohibitionist candi- date for president, who had seconded his nomination. MT. Larkin stated to the convention that he had supported the ticket. The nomination was then made by a vote of ninety-two for Lar kin, thirty three for Ames and sixteen for Gibboney.
 There was another exciting time in the adoption of the platform, over the question of woman's suffrage. w. s. Hermans of Towanda, Bradford county opposed the plank and declared he would withdraw from the convention if it was adopted. It was adopted by a vote of ninety-nine to three, and Hermans withdrew. The platform, be- sides prohibition and suffrage, also contains an arraignment of the Repub- lican and Democratic parties for their management of state affairs.

A YOUTHFUL QUEEN.

Alexandra, the queen mother of England, is said to look younger at 66 years of age than do her daugh- ters. and her remarkable youthful ness is attributed to her simple hab- it's of life. She never eats heavy meals and she always has taken great deal of outdoor exercise, such as walking. riding and skating, although she never has been fond of strenu- ous sports. She believes in sleeping with open windows and living in cool rooms. She never allows the tenn perature of her living room to rise above sixty. She is fond of animals and will never indulge in hunts, for she does rot favor the killing of ami mals for sport. She practices tenn perance in all things, in her diet, her exercises and amusements.

. Just as they alighted at the station large fat woman with a face like a railroad collision. as Dagstairs ex- pressed it, sailed by with an exact du- plicate of the beloved headgear perched upon her pink hair.
 Thank goodness!" cried Mrs Dag stairs, clutching Dagstair's arm in a hysterical burst of teams That's the only thing that could have saved me from suffering undying regret! I'm gPlad we c-c-couldn't get itl"

 But that was a doggone pretty hati" he murmured.

THE TRAGEDY OF A HAT.

When the Dagstairses reached Paris they were on the last stretch of their wedding trip and bound for home. It being a wedding trip, Dagstairs had been somewhat lavish in the mat ter of expenses. Now he had just about enough money left to carry them back comfortably. He told Mrs. Dagstairs that they must be careful about buy ing things and she said: Yes, by all means"
 But that was before she saw the hat
 Dagstairs saw it, too. It was the sort of hat before which one pauses entranced because it is so perfectly and irresistibly the hat exactly suited to ones style. It certainly looked like the very hat that Mrs. Dagstairs ought to wear
 They found it while they were on monday stroll It was the center of small display window of hats before small shop.
 Every day for a week they passed the little millinery display in that win dow. Thus they bfgan to feel that they had Q propriesfry interest in the alluring headgesr fThe day it was
 
 left upper corner nearly finished the Dagstairs and they could eat DO lunch con because of the shock
 What if it had been sold?" Dag stairs cried that evening. There's no use talking. tomorrow we go and buy the hat."
 "Nonsense!" said Mrs. j, Dagstairs. We shall do nothiRss of the sort. It certainly is terribly expensive and shall not let you do such a foolish thing! Do you suppose my milliner back home could possibly make me one like it?"
 "HorrOrsi" groaned Dagstairs, who knows hats when he sees them. "Nol Anyhow. we can go in and price it."
 T don't want to do that" objected Mrs. Dagstairs. These shop people are so horrid if you don't buy Let's forget it!"

But the hat drew them irresistibly and their conversation became nothing but arguments for and against the hat
 You know you want it!'' said he
 No, dCn't!" insisted she But isn't it a dear?"
 It came to be the last day of their stay in Paris. On the. way to the train Dagstairs told the cabman to drive by the little hot shop. He felt that at least he must have farewell glimpse of their fascinating and unattainable hearts desire. When Mrs Dagstairs turned her head also to look and there was a glint of pathos in ner eyes. Dagstairs ordered the cab to halt
 We're going in and get that hatl" he said. We've time before the train,"
 Breathlessly his wife followed him. They opened the little door and found themselves in a cigar and wine shopl There wasn't even hint of scrap of a hatband, much less a rose, in the whole establishment
 Hats-hats! ChapeauX you know." Dagstairs beloved waving his hands frantically in his bewilderment
 The dapper individual behind the counter raised his eyebrows deprecat- ingly. But of a surety, did not mon sieur know the custom of the big stores of displaying specialties in win dowS hired here and there throughout the city? To be sure, it was his win dow, but he could not sell the hats. Monsieur would be accommodated by going to the x. Y. z. store in the main part of town and they would send an obliging young man for the desired hat if they had no duplicate -
 Dagstairs and his wife trailed back to the cab and rushed for their train. They were too filled with bitterness to speak.

CLOSING IN ON DYKE EDWARDS.
Escaped Convict Closely Pursued by Mis-.
sissippi Officers.


Officers are finally on the trail of Dyke
Edwards, who, it is believed, is trying to
make his way out of the state to Bib
county Alabama.
Edwards escaped from Rankin farm
two weeks ago, and while there was
reward of $3.50 for his capture, and, all
though he was seen several times, once
at Philadelphia and later around Sturgis,
Oktibbeha county, where he shot and
killed DR.. A. +. Richardson, no attempt
was made to take him.
Later, it is said, he was joined by ellis
and his brother, Jim Edwards, and they
have been, for several days, somewhere
between Sturgis and Carrollton, awaiting
the proper time to escape from the STATE
to Alabama, where Edwards has rela-
tives. A close watch is being kept on the
fugitives, as all three are wanted; Dyke
Edwards to complete life term in the
penitentiary; Jim Edwards to complete a
term in the Oktibbeha county Jail, and
ellis for alleged assault with intent to
kill.

state, Gov. Noel increased the rewards to
$3.50 on the part of the state, which, with
the $50 offered by the trustees of the
penitentiary, makes total of $500 for
Dyke Edwards capture. This reward
will be paid by the state for Edwards
dead OF alive, and any citizen of the
state, after demanding his surrender, UNI
der the laws of Mississippi, is authorized
to shoot him down.

tive workers 1t is for the best good
of the nation to limit this class as
much as possible.
The future prosperity of America,
then, depends upon the decentraliza-
ton of the cities Large cities are eco
nomically wasteful. and they will have
to so. The manufacturing cities of the
future will be located with reference
to food supply as well as with refer
ence to the market for their products.
In recent years the farmers Of the
hog raising districts Of Iowa are COM
ing more and more to ship their hogs
to local packing houses for slaughter,
thus eliminating the long freight haul
to Chicago A plan is under way to
establish a terminal elevator at Cedar
Rapids. where the bulk of the Iowa
grain can be cleaned and graded and
shipped direct to the consumer. In
this way the toll of Chicago, with its
heavy terminal charges and its army
of middlemen, will be almost entirely
eliminated.
One of the chief factors in the way
of this enterprise and many others of
like nature is the discriminatory
freight rates which the railroads give
to the large cities But this is mat
ter that will be remedied in time. The
era of the open country and the coun
try town is dawning. The great city
has its place, a place which it will con
tinue to hold, but it cannot be the
dominating force in American life. nor
can it much longer attract the flower
of young manhood and young woman
hood from the country districts.

Drink as a Handicap to the Child.

Let alcohol in even small quantities
come in contact with the growing cells
of the human infant, and there is
chance-nay, a probability-that ir-
reparable harm will be done. Poisons
circulating in the mothers blood often
pass into the organism of the child.
Alcohol is one of the poisOns which
may so invade the developing infant
A child may carry the impress of dis
ease in "a latent manner long after
birth, the resulting handicap to it's
welfare only becoming apparent in
many instances when some strain is
thrown upon it. But a child of alco-
holic parents may escape cOntamina
ton before birth. only to be caught by
the foe soon after it enters the world
A nursing mother who gives way to
drink generally feeds her child with
milk which is poor in quality and de-
ficient in quantity. Frequently the
milk contains an appreciate amount
of the drug which the mother has i'm
bibed, for alcohol can be readily traced
in the mothers milk within twenty
minutes after she drinks it. Dilute
alcohol thus passed into the system
of the child invakes every part Of its
being, and has a particularly harm
full effect upon the growing cells of it's
brain.-W. McAdam Eccles, M. S., F.

ALCOHOL & ACCIDENTS.

At the last International Congress
for The Children's Protective Society,
DR.. Briegleb, of Worms, gave an ad-
dress on the subject Of alcohol and
crime, in which he said that our
supcriiC !al opinions on this matter
are due to insufficient observation, as
only manifest intoxication and recog
nizable drunkenness are taken into
consideration. The Investigations of
science. especially the experiments in
physiology and toxicology give an i'm
portant starting point These have
shown that persons under the influ-
ence of small doses of alcohol have no
consciousness of any effects them
selves and those around them do not
readily perceive any disturbance. I'm
der certain circumstances such per-
sons are, therefore, more dangerous
to themselves and Others than they
would be if they were perceptibly
drunk, for then they would be sent
away.
Even in educated circles the sub
ject is not thoroughly understood.
Statistics are, therefore, deficient and
worthless, because the figures are so
far below the actually. Rules made
by employers can only prevent the
use. of alcohol during working hours
and upon the employers premises.
Wherever it has been possible to re-
duce the use of alcohol considerably.
corresponding reduction il the num-
Der of accidents has been proved.
Some firms offer premiums for total
abstinence. The results of science
show that complete abstinence is nee
essary for the prevention Of accidents.
This is not to be attained by coercive
measures, but by instruction and to-
tai abstinence societies.
From the standpoint of the proven
ton of accidents it is TO the interest
of all concerned to promote the total
abstinence movement, with financial
and other direct and indirect aid. The
endeavor, therefore. to prevent the
occurrence of accidents must go hand
in hand with the movement against
alcoholism and for the promotion of
total abstinence

NO Pardon for Mclnris,

Gov. Noel has reached a final con
clusion in regard to the case of ex.
Sheriff ID. c. McInnis of Simpson
county, petition for whose pardon has
been in the hands of the governor for
some time. The petitioner, as the
court records show, pleaded guilty to
one of several counts in an Indictment
against him, charging him with misap-
preparation or nlisapplication of coun-
ty funds, for which he was RESPONSE
BILE, and was given a sentence of one
year in the county jail, together with
a fine and taxation for costs, which
latter amounted to something like
$1,000. He was afterwards tried on
another indictment or account,
and was convicted and sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary, which,
however, was reversed by the supreme
court Then followed efforts to secure
a remission of the costs assessed
against him, which have been so stout
ly contested that the governor was
constrained to give his decision
against McInniS.

according to Frank Conroy of Chica-
go, who is financially interested in a
number of moving picture houses.

Mr. Conroy With twentieth cen

League and prohibitionist lecturers
in various States have introduced
moving pictures as a substitute for
the horrible examples exhibited by
John B. Cough and his contempora-

Investigating Land Titles.

The attorney generals department
is making Roadway in the matter of
investigating titles to land now held
by corporations or individuals which
are in the same class as were the ii
ties held by the Wisconsin Lumber
Company, recently declared to be in
valid by Chancellor E. N Thomas on
the ground of invalidity of patent. IN
vestigations have been made in the
counties of Issaquena and Hancock,
and as a result suits involving the
validity of titles to somewhere be-
tween 5000 and 1000 acres in the
county of Hancock have been already
entered.

DULANEY WANTS CHANGE VENUE.
Believes He Cannot Get Unprejudiced
Trial at Jackson.

On Wednesday, August 81, the time
will have arrived for taking up formally
the motion of counsel for L. c. Dulaney,
indicted by the grand jury last March
for alleged tender or giving of a bride to
Theo G. Bib, member of the state
senate, i'll orGgr to influence his vote in
the choice Of Il senator, for change of
venue on the general ground that the de-
PENDANT could not secure fair and I'M

This motion vas pending at the June
term of the criminal section of the court,
but for obvious reasons Judge Henry de-
ferred the hearing until the time indi-
Gated. As the matters and things con-
nected with the case are of statewide
notoriety it is quite probable that it will
be one of the most interesting and sig
niticant court sittings within recent his

A Direct Cause of Denqeneracy

It is now well known that alcohol
causes a certain receptivity for other
diseases. In pointing out this fact
Prof. F. Martins, director of the Ro-
stock Medical Clinic, said at the
XXI. Congress of Internal Medicine
in 1905 that alcohol affects the gen
erative as we'll as other organs of
the body, and that this is the main
factor in the degeneration of the hui
man race.-Translation by the Scien-
tific Temperance Federation.

NOEL GETS BOND CIRCULAR.

He Doesn't Think London Bankers
Scheme Has Had Much Effect.
A copy of the circular recently is
sued by the London corporation of
bondhoiders urging the New York
stock exchange to blacklist Mississippi
state securities, because of the alleged
reputation Of bonds by this state in
ante-bellum days, has reached the
governors office.
Gov. Noel declines to comment on
the circular except to express the
opinion ,lat its issuance had nothing
whatever to do with the states failure
to sell 100000 in bonds few weeks
ago He attributes the fact that the
bonds were not sold on account of the
state Of the money market, and the
fact that no state has been able dur
ing the past six months to negotiate
4 per cert securities.
TIE London corporation of bond
holders evidently believes that, by
thus declaring a blacklist on Missis-

issued in the early SOS. The London
fnapciers are perhaps not aware Of
the fact that the Mississippi constitu-
ton contains a clause prohibiting the
recognition Of these alleged securities,
and that public sentiment in this state
would never indorse such an action,
even if it were possible to arrange for
taeir cancellation without an amend
ment to the constitution.
The principal and accumulated in
teTesE of the Planters bank bonds,
computing interest at 6 per cent for a
period of siXty-seven years, amounts
to $10,G40,O00, while the principal and
interest Of the Union bank bonds
amounts to $2G,750,OO0, making a
grand total of $3G, 100000.

Many First Bolls.

First cotton bolls have been reported
from number of counties in Mississippi.
Opening of the staple is by no means gen.
eral, however, and it is not likely that
there will be first bale reported until
the latter part of the month. That the
boil weevil is steadily continuing it's
northeasterly march across the state is
shown by the discovery of the insects in
several portions of Leake county, fifty
miles north of jackson, and the pest will
probably become general in that section
before the close of the year.
