Explorer Finds Big
Herd Of Wild Buffalo

WINNIPEG, Man. Sept. 5.- Harry
Radford. the American explorer who left
Edmonton. Alberta. three years ago for
the north country, reached Trenton river
last winter, and has been hunting there
this summer, according to word just re-
ceived by the Hudson Bay company.
News Of his arrival at the bay across

been heard from Radfordcin more than a

Radfcrd says there are more than $50
wild buffaloes in the Slave lake district in

BULL MOOSERS GO INTO COURT
Epperson Seeks Possession Of Prop.
erty Of Republican Committee.
BURBANK STARTS REPLEvM SUIT
Court to BE Asked to Determine and
Decide what Party Is Entitled
to Declaration of RE-
publican.

Ambrose G. Epperson who was named
chairman of the republican state central
committee by the Roosevelt faction Of
the republican state convention at LIN
coin in July, repleyined the party's prop
erty from John L. Kennedy, former state
chairman Thursday. The action In replevin
did not determine whether Epperson or
Frank l.. Currie, named by the regular
Taft faction, is the real state chairman.
Byron G. Burbank, attorney for Epper-
son, filed petition and an affidavit in
replevin In district court yesterday and
Deputy Clerk Of the District Court Asel
Steer issued replevin writ.
Deputy Sheriff w. A. Foster served the
writ. Former Chairman Kennedy made
checked the property over to the deputy
sheriff, who checked 1t to Epperson. The
bull mooser proceeded to crate and ship
the property to his headquarters at Lin
coin
Mr.. Kennedy Explains.
Mr.. Kennedy did not even require a
bond for the value of the property, $262
He said he was willing to turn the prop
erty over to Epperson and had held 1t
only because two men claimed to be his
successor and he didn't want to let go Of
the property without being ordered to by
the court.
Tpperson's claim to the property Is
based on the contention that he Is the
duly elected and authorized state chair
man. Since Kennedy did not offer to
contest this claim 1t still is an open
question whether or not Epperson is the
state chairman. In order to have this
passed upon by the courts Currie must
start some sort of action against Epper-
son, or Epperson against Currie.
The property consists of desks. type
writer's, lists Of republican voters, cir
culars, etc.

COST OF GAS is DETERMINED
Expert Reports That it Can Be Pro-
dueed for 1855 Gents Per /, 900.
CALCULATIONS ARE THOROUGH
Report Will BE Used by Attorney
Lambert for the City in It's
Fight to Secure Dollar
Gas mt Least.
CALCULATIONS ARE THOROUGH

James Hall, expert from Chicago, hired
by the city to determine the cost Of man.
ufacturing and distributing gas to the
consumers of Omaha, has reported to the
city legal department that the average
cost including all overhead charges for
the last five years has been 1856 cents
per 1000 cubic feet.
Hall bases his calculations upon the
total value of the plant as reported by
w. d. Marks, another expert hired by
the city to secure Information for use In
the dollar gas case now pending in the
courts.
In addition to considering the value of
the plant In his calculations, which value
is less than s1,5O0.O0O, Hall allows operat-
ing expenses in the sum of $125000.
The net return to the gas company on
its investment, che Investment being the
present value OF the plant plus the $125,-
900 working capital, is $151. .21o.75 per year,
Hall reports.
Net PrOfit Computed.
The net profit available for interest and
dividends has been computed on the basis
of gas at q selling price Of 81 per LOCO
cubic fset," says the report, "and the
adjusted cost determined in the previous
section applied to the sales for the year
ended December 81, 1911 Using alter
nately the adjusted average cost for the
five year period and the adjusted cost
for the year 1911 the net return Is $751;
21o75 and s149,5Ss.62 respectively"
1t would require an investment OF
$s024,215 to realize $l5i,2lO.75 at per cent.
says the expert. whereas the gas COM
pany's Investment, according to the two
experts, is less than half that amount.
The cost Of manufacturing and distrib-
uting gas here, the expert reports, mas
been the following for the last five years:
lel1. 1910: 1909 1908. 1907: Ave;
1919 &.1S 1874 1921 Sl.21 1885
To arrive at these conclusions the ex-
pert took into consideration the original
the working capital. the In
creased value of the real estate, deprecia-
ton of the property. obsolescence and all
overhead charges.
First Assistant City Attorney Lambert,
who is handling the cIty's side Of the
dollar gas case, will use this report and
the report made by w. d. Marks as eyi-
dence that the gas company ought to re-
duce its charges from 81. 1.15 to 81 at least
Marks reported that the company could
furnish gas at profit at 90 cents per
Zoo cubic feet.

To thoroughly appreciate and to use
70 the utmost the advantages offered
by the people in this public school is a
ratriotie thing. The great privilege
that the State Of Mississippi and the
City Of Macon give to the young people
Of Macon Of obtaining here a valuable
education, carries with it a correspond
ing duty on them to make the best u'e
Of the opportunity so given.
In private schools the students owe a
duty to their parents who pay their tut
ton. In a public school this duty is to
their state and town which give them
the education.
II is one Of the distressing limitations
Of human nature that the full possibili-
ties Of an opportunity are not seen un-
I'll it is past The tremendous advan-
tages Of an early education are seldom
realized until ones school days are long
past. The lament over lost opportuni-
ties is a cry that eve goes up from gen
Grafton to succeeding generation.
The value of the things attained by
the winner of this medal is of far
greater value than the medal itself.
1t is but the visible evidence of things
hoped for and achieved, the stamp on
the golden guinea that adds no value
but simply marks it's worth.
| esteem it a great honor to deliver
in the name of Mr.. Avery, one good cit
izen. to NJ. Murphey, another good cit
izen this medal which testifies to the
worth and value of each Of them.

THE BOSS.

Vardaman is now the Boss OF
Mississippi, He and his are in
complete control Of the political
machinery Of the state. 1t has
lust been shown that in an cleo.
ton in which his political for
tunes were in nowisc involved, he
can dictate the course of a MAORI
ty of the people OF the state. Nor
does he seek to veil the exercise
of his authority under the guisc Of
a seeming persuasion. He orders
and commands and his hcnchmcn
obey. IL was n familiar sight in
Jackson when the Legislature was
was in session, to see him talking
to some member rs q teacher talks
to a whipped school boy or a mas
ter lectures servant. No liberty
Of opinion is allowed his %adhcrcnts.
They must do as told under the
penalty of his displcasurc. His
domination is complete.
How long such a condition of
things car endure among n free
people is an interesting question.
How it ever came about is a mar
vel to many. The spirit Of the
times and the conditions of the
day are against its long contin-
uancc. New voters are coming of
age every day better educated and
better informed than the average
voter of last year.
Surely the character of Varda-
man and the questionable record
he has made are not such as are
likely to continue to cnthral the
pOpulacc. This IDOLS feet of clay
extend a good way up the legs.
But at present he is the supreme
dictator in Mississippi--thc Boss.

Mr.. James Shelton, son of Mrs.
Nellie Shelton, is remembered
here in Macon principally as an attrac-
tive and capable school boy. Since
leaving here for college and his life
work he had just begun what promised
to be an honorable and successful
career,
The following dispatch from Wash

The body of Young James Shelton,
formerly of Macon, Miss, who was
killed in a street car accident at New
Bedford, Mass, last Saturday evening,
is on the way to the Shelton home at

Iurch of a suburban train as he tried to
pass from n car to another. He was
employed as a mechanical engineer at
the Written Machine Works, Written,
Mass, and had gone to New Bedford
to install cotton mill machinery. He
had been with the concern not quite
two Yeas, and although but little over
q years old, had won a highly respon-
sible position, his employers readily un-
dortaking every possible expense of his
funeral and have directed a thorough
investigation of the accident. He was
a grandson of the late Maj. Edmund
Winston of LAGRANGE, Tenn and has
an aunt in this city, Miss Kate Win
