FIVE OF ONE FAMILY DROWNED.
Train of Death Visits the Wilson Family
of Eutaw.

Arkansas City, Ark.-The sudden cap
sizing Of a small batteau only fifty feet
from the Mississippi river landing at Ar.
kansas City caused the drowning of five
persons, Parma Wilson, Irma Wilson,
Mrs. Annie Wilson, Edna Wilson, Viola
Wilson, all of one family.
Nine members of the Wilson family
were on the batteau with several other
passengers when it capsized. Friends
who went to the landing to tell the Will
sons goodbye endeavored to persuade
them not to board the b%atteau, as it al
ready was heavily loaded with merchan-
disc. But Parma Wilson, an old river
man, who, with the other members OF
his family that were drowned, lived at
Eutaw, Miss, urged his relatives to fol
low him on the batteau, and they did
so, but with reluctance.
The small craft had not gone fifty feet
from the shore before it turned over,
throwing the men, women and children
into the swift current of the Mississippi.
Spectators on the bank frantically en-
deavored to go to their assistance, but
before assistance could reach the people
in the water five of them were drowned.
A passenger named Rambo and a ne
gro who swan out from shore assisted
Mrs. Parma Wilson and two children in
safely reaching the shore.
Mrs. Annie Wilson's husband died
some time ago from an overdose of medi
cine, and soon after two of his children
were killed by lumber falling on them
The drowning of the surviving children
annihilates that branch of the Wiser
family.

other with their fists, but were sepa-
rated by bystanders before either had

FOR CRIMINAL REFORM.
Miss Emily Butt Addresses Mississippi
College.

IOlleRe.
Clinton.-At the Mississippi College
chapel, Miss Emily Butt, representing
the Mississippi Juvenile Reformatory
Association, delivered a most instructive
address to the student body and faculty
of the college, her theme being "Ehs Sal
walton Of Young Criminals"
She spoke in part as follows:
"There are people who approve ri q
thing, but that is all. | want hat a
man not only approve of a thing, but
that he is willing to fight for it. The
young criminals in Mississippi Grs rot
like those of New York City, for our
youths are less hardened by daily con-
tact with crime, and so more able to be
taught higher ideals and to develop
stronger will force. In other states IS
per cent of youthful criminals turn ont
well. In Mississippi, conditions favor tho
reclamation of at least 95 per cent. Re-
Gently, Harris Dixon said, in a speech
delivered before the State Teachers As
ISOLATION in Jackson, that Mississippi, in
this work, is neither in the lead nor in
the rear, but is not in IT at all In the
last two years, since my connection with
the Rankin Farm, I have come in contact
with fifty youthful criminals. To these,
when their terms close, the doors of all
respectability are closed, but to these
same lads the doors of the dens of vice
are flung wide open"

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York ..iarch 29-'rhe cotton mar ket was nervous and irregular. today with Wall Street and other operators including one of inc leading bull bro kers aggressive sellers of July on ad- vanees while May shorts appeared to be uneasy and bid that position up to a premium of 26 points over the active summer denverN. The close was steady. net six points lower to 2 points higher spring and new crop deliveries being re- latively firm.
 The opening was steady at an advance of m s points in response to better cables than expected and a renewal of yesterdays late covering movement,
 Wall Street houses were sellers on tho initial advance, however. and the mar ket also looked as if some of the lead ing buyers of yesterday were liquldat- Ing. Al any rate, prices soon eased off with old crop positions reacting to about the closing figures of last night
 Liverpool houses were good buyers on this setback, helping to steady the mar ket and toward middy prices worked up on covering of shorts.
 There seemed to be very little May for sale when the rally began, and there was quite a furry among May shorts during the noon hour, that position selling mp to l4,40. or 12 points above the closing figures of yesterday and 20 points above yesterdays low level
 Later months worked up to net gain of @ points in sympathy, but of ferings of July became heavy on the ad vance and fluctuations in the later trad ing were very nervous and irregular. Just before the close July broke to 14.0i or points net lower but closed at 14.10. a net advance of point.
 May closed at 14.3 or 8 points net high CT ana last prices on the new crop were about five points below the closing fig ures of yesterday
 Private cables from Liverpool attribu- ted the advance there to improve trade in Mapchester and more active demand from the continent, but domestic trade accounts showed no improvement and rumors of q better demand from China for cotton goods from southern mills lacked confirmation.
