1t seems unbelievable that a wild
negro's iron spear point seven and Il
nall inches long by one and q half
inches wide has been found all grown
over and perfectly hidden in a big
bull elephants tusk. The savage had
roasted up in big tree over a spring
where the elephant came for water.
Then he dropped this spear. weighted
10 hfty pounds, so as to strike the
nape OF the neck and pierce the brain
Here the spear went little to one
side of the brain and into the big open
funnel end of the root of the tusk.

Ivory like a nail in tree. The spear
was found when the tusk was carved.

BAG OF SILVER
MONEY STOLEN
Thief Takes Bag, Containing 81 900
From Express Trucks in Meridian
And Makes His Escape.

Meridian, Miss, Feb. PA bold
theft occurred in this city Wednesday
morning, when bag of silver coin to
the amount of of $1,000 was taken
while en- route from the local office to
the express car at the transfer station.
There were six bags of the money,
81 900 in each bag, and it is under
stood that all of the money was in
silver dollars, AS yet there is no
tangible clue.
1t seems that the money was placed
on truck, carried to the transfer
station and there rolled about the
office. Here it was left while the
men went about their work, loading
the baggage car Little was thought
of the money until it was ready to
load, and there was found to be but
five bags on the truck Asearch was
instituted but with no success.
No one was seen anywhere who
could have taken the money, ana the
actual cause for the disappearance
OF the money is not known. The
money is supposed to have been taken
between the hours of three and five
O'Clock. The weight of the package
was 81 IL pounds each and if the bag
was taken, it would have been so
heavy and bulky that it is possible
that the thief would have been detect
ed before he could have made a get
away.
The company's detectives are at
work on the case and will trace the
matter down.

STATE PAPERS
GET POSTAL RATES
New Publications Of This State Not
Effected BY The Proposed
Postal Law.

/ Washington Feb. 24.-From an
analysis of the AZ periodicals, other
than newspapers, journals, and the
like, pub hshed in Mississippi and ad.
mltted TO the mails as second-class
matter with the privilege of carrying
advertisements, it appears that not
one will be affected by the section of
the pending postal bill providing for
increased postage on the advertising
pages of magazines The higher rate
does not apply to newspapers of any
kind, including farm journals and sim
liar publications that print current in
formation OF news value, nor does it
affect periodicals that mail less than
1000 pounds at each issue, as happens
to be the case with every one of the
AZ Mississippi periodicals now carry
ing advertisements. On the other
hand the proposed legislation will
grant for the first time to 6 periodicals
published in Mississippi the right to
carry advertisements. These G peri
odicals, a list of which follows. fall
into the category of periodicals admit
ted to the second class without the
advertising privilege under the Act of
July 16, 1894 and comprising the pub
locations of incorporated institutions
OF learning, of fraternal, scientific and
professional societies, etc. AS these
6 periodicals all mail less than 1000
pounds an issue, the postage on their
advertising pages will be at the pres
ent rate of l cent a pound 1t is
therefore apparent that so far as the
periodical publications of Mississippi
are concerned the postage rate pro-
vision in the pending postal bill will
carry only benefits.

Today will be flag day in the ma
tion as well as in Oklahoma and In

a special occasion is made in honor
of the first flight Of "Old Glory" In
the year 1777. This is the one hun
dred and thirty-fourth anniversary of
the first exhibition of the flag. How
ever the day Is not the l34th flag
day, as 1t was only until a few years
ago that the occasion was observed.
Strictly speaking, the day is not a
holiday. Custom does not make II
that An. observance Of the first flag
OF our national emblem is made by
displaying the banner Of the republic.
There Is no true American who does
not thrill at the sight of the stars
and stripes and the mere display OF
the flag is sufficient to arouse pa
triotism.
In Tulsa, as elsewhere in the land
of the free and the home Of the brave
the occasion of flag day will be OBJ
served Last night before many OF
the stores closed, clerks were busy
hanging "Old Glory" from some part
OF the store fronts Today, up with
the lark, others will arrange for q
display Of the flag which has made
the nations of the world shrink and
do homage to the Columbia's boast
At the Central school building, the
only building in Tulsa where school
is being held, the flag will be dis
played.
