FOUND IN QUICKSAND.
Body of John Donnell Recovered After
Sixteen Days.

Elizabeth, n. J.. March 24-His body
covered by quicksand to a depth of
several inches. which prevented dis
covery by searchers for the last 16
days, the body of John Donnell, 81
years old was found accidentally late
yesterday by an employee of the health
department here.
Indications are that the aged man
died in great agony while held a pris-
oner by the sand, which drew him in
slowly until his body was out of sight.
The place where the body was discover
ed is nearly two miles from any of the
courses ordinarily Travelled over the
meadows and would not have been
found were it not for the fact that men
had been ordered back to work on a
ditch. where labor has been suspend
ed several weeks ago.
Sixteen days ago Donnen left his
desk at a local factory and took a
familiar path over the meadows to his
home. He never got there. 1t is sup
posed that when he was some distance
from the factory he became bewilder-
ed. staryed from the narrow pathway
through the salt marshes. and at last
became lost in the barren stretch of
land

OFFICE IS BLOWN up.
Court House Firm Is Building Meets
Same Fate.

Omaha, March 24.-The receipt this
morning by representatives of the Cold
we'll & Drake Company, contractors for
the new court house, of a telegram from
Thomas N. Wilson, secretary of the
company, announcing the practical de-
structiOn of the home office at Column
bus, Ind, by a dynamite explosion at
midnight, was the only development
which seemed likely this morning to
furnish clue to the authors of the ex-
plosion here, or their motives.
An attempt was made this morning
to track the miscreants with blood
hounds
The estimate of the damage to the
uncompleted county building by the ex-
plosion placed last night at $4,000 TO
$4,000 had not been changed today, but
it was stated that a careful examina-
ton OF the main walls would have to
be made before it could be said posi-
lively they were not injured
Explosion in Court House.
Omaha, March 24.-Two explosions in
the basement of the new million dollar
court house at Eighteenth and Farnum
streets at o'clock this morning caused
excitement and brought out the police
reserves Windows We're shattered in
buildings two blocks away.
Two cement floors in the basement
OF the building were torn loose and an
interior retaining wall was badly DAM
aged, but the stone walls of the uncom-
pleted building were not injured so far
as could be observed. The police We're
unable to account for the explosions.
The contractor who is constructing the
court house has had trouble with or
ganlzed labor, but so far as known this
trouble had been settled.

VIOLATING FOOD LAW.
Rfisbranding of Coffee and FIavOring
Extracts Are Forbidden.

Washington, March 24.-Misbranding
of coffee, geneva gin and vanilla and
lemon f1avoring extracts constitute the
most common violations of the pure
food law, according to the department
OF agriculture. Upon analysis it has
been found that many vanilla and lemon
extracts are imitation products, color
ed with coal tar dyes.
As a result of several decisions which
have been rendered recently the de-
partment is making greater efforts to
see that the pure food laws are not vio-
lated Government sleuths have seized
many consignments of food products
recently which on being analysed have
heen found to be either limitations or
to contain ingredients injurious to any
person eating them.

LAST OF SAN JOSE SCALE.
Will Be Eradicated in Kansas in a
Short Time.

The state chronological commission
has announced that the appropriation
made by the 1911 legislature is be-
ueved to be sufficient to complete the
eradication of the San Jose scale in
Kansas The legislature gave the
commission ten thousand dollars for
two years in 1909 and the recent leg
islature just doubled this amount
There is not much scale in any of the
northern counties except Wyandotte
and johnson. It is most prevalent in
Sedgwick, Reno, Kingman, Sumner
and several counties in the southeast
corner of the state. The state has
been divided into two sections, the
state university having charge of the
work in the north side and the Agri-
cultural college in the south section.
The money is divided between the two
sections according to the aera infest-
ed. The commission inspects orchards
and then gets busy and compels the
trees to be cut out and burned if badly
infected or sprayed when the disease
has just gained foothold.

An UnprOvOked SIur.

Whenever a man makes political cap
ital out of the fact that he is a member
of the church, it might be well to keep
your eye on him, for it's safe to assume
his religion is only skin deep. The Hon.
c. H. Alexander has let no opportu-
nifty pass since the senatorial race be-
gan, to let the people of Mississippi
know he is church member. m cComb
City Enterprise.
We challenge the truthfulness of the
above reflection on one of the purest
and best men in Mississippi. We gave
very careful attention to Mr.. Alexan-
der's speech at this place several
months ago, and if there was in it any
reference to his church work or church
connections we failed to hear it. The
Vardaman following have taunted him
with being psalm singing sucker"
and his followers with being psalm
singing suckers" Mr.. Alexander's
reply was, 81 accept the guage of bat
tie; is it unlawful for christian to as
pire to Office in Mississippi" There is
not an intelligent man in Mississippi
who believes Mr.. Alexanders religion
is just "skin Deep" or that it is as
sumed and worn for political profit.
Long before he entered the political
arena his influence was potent on the
side of good morals. Law enforcement,
statewide prohibition and the stopping
of C. o. d. whiskey shipments. Whether
or not he is elected United States Sem
ator, surely friend and foe alike will
resent such slurs as the above on one
of Mississippi's finest and best men. -

is better equipped by character, by
trailing and otherwise, to represent
the people of Mississippi in the United
States Senate. Unlike Vardaman, he
is lawyer who has succeeded. Yet
his success never came to him through
an attorneyship for great corporations.
He has in no sense been aligned with
organized wealth. The corporations
have never had their hands on him. He
has never lobbied for railroad; nence,
if elected he would go into Office with
out owing anything whatever to that
class-the few who are grasping at the
wealth of the country. He comes from
country preachers family. He knows
the hardships incident to the life of the
poor man. He is kind-hearted, and, as
l learn from his neighbors, has done
much to ward aiding chai liable and
other benevolent institutions. He has
keen foresight, plenty of good, hard,
horse sense; is one of the best debaters
in the state and would worthily wear
senatorial honors. In our little village

ter of Hon. C. H. Alexander rather
than to some who are opposing him in
this fight.
You are making a great fight, Mr..

The Conductor Who Lost His job.

No letter of sympathy yet from Gov.
Vardaman to the railroad conductor
that he caused to lose his position last
week. Disregarding the plain rules of
the M. J. & X. C. railroad prohibiting
conductors from carrying passengers
on freight trains on that road, it is re-
ported that without the knowledge or
consent of the conductor, Gov. Varda-
man and one of his ardent supporters
boarded freight train at Bay Springs
last week and rode to Laurel. The con-
ductor did not know that Mr.. Varda-
man and his friend were in the caboose
until the train was several miles out of
Bay Springs. Fearing a suit against
the company if elected Mr.. Vardaman
from the train, he decided to take them
to Laurel, make plain statement of
the case to the superior officers and
abide the consequences, the conductor
having told Mr.. Vardaman that to al
low him to ride on his train meant the
loss of his job. When the conductor
reported the matter, the officials dis
missed him for violating a plain rule
of the company.
Lengthy petitions have been gotten
up by friends of the conductor, asking
Tor his reinstatement, but not one word
OF sympathy for the conductor or re-
quest for his reinstatement has vet
been received by the public from Mr..
Vardaman.
| A statement of this affair was made
public last week. AS yet the Herald
has seen no denial of the facts from
Mr.. Vardaman or the friend who made
the trip with him that cost a poor
freight conductor his job. -Yazoo City
