T. r., BELL WETHER, AND OTHER
MOOSE, GATHER AT CHICAGO
TO "BATTLE FOR LORD"
(Bg Associated PreSS.)

Chicago, Dec. Theodore Roose'
velt made it plain today that the pro
gram of the Progressive party does not
contemplate making terms with the
Republican parry as a party. At a
meeting of Progressive leaders, Roose-
welt said, in effect, that the new party
had come to clay and eventually ex-
pected to attract to its banne- progress
sives who still give allegiance to the
Democratic and Republican organiza
tions.
AS to leadership, Colonel Roosevelt
said events of the next year or two
could be trusted to develop the best
men, who must be chosen without ref
erence to their desires, but solely with
regard to the needs of the people.
The Progresslves in Congress ant
state legislatures are urged to get to
gether and push Progressive legisla
tion.

TRAIL
WHEREABOUTS OF THE DUNcANs
WOULD BE WELCOME INFoR-
NATION TO LOCAL PEOPLE

The whereabouts of one Ben C. Dun
can, who recently filled an engage
ment at the Lomo theatre in this city,
suddenly became a matter of interest,
when Mr.. G. e. Craven, with the Vel
low Pine Lumber Company of this city,
discovered that Mrs. Ben G. Duncan
during the month Of November had,
without authority, obtained goods at
both O'Farrells and Davidson's and
had them charged to Mr.. Craven. When
the bills were presented Mr.. Craven
instituted an inquiry and soon found
that the woman who bought the goods
had at Davidson's represented that she
was Mrs. Craven's sister, and at
OFarrell's that she was Mrs. Craven.
From descriptions given he and Mrs.
Craven became satisfied that the par
ty making these representations was
the wife Of Ben G. Duncan, who had
secured rooms at their residence, 500
Southern avenue, when he came here
to fill an engagement as singer at
the Lomo theatre.
Duncan came here from Winona and
several days. later his wife arrived.
and they continued to occupy the
rooms at the Craven home during their
stay in the city.
1t developed this morning that the
Reno pool room is the holder of a
personal check drawn by Duncan on
the Citizens bank, Winona, Miss,
Nov. IS, for SIS, which, when pre-
sented, was dishonored account no
funds to the credit of the drawer.

v. D. GRAHAM.
DEAD
LEADING CITIZEN AND BUSINESS
MAN DIED SUNDAY NIGHT
FROM HEART DISEASE.

McNeill, Miss, Dec. 10.-William D.
Graham, for many years the leading
spirit of this section of Pearl River
county, died here Sunday night at / 80
o'clock, at the age of SO years.
Mr.. Graham came to this state from
North Carolina, settling first at Ellis
vile, later at Derby, and In 1890 To-
Gated at McNeill, which place he es-
tablished and named. For years he
was one of the largest turpentine ope-
rators in South Mississippi, but ten
years ago sold out his turpentine bus
mess and has since devoted his time
to the mercantile business and farm
ing.
Mr.. Graham was fearless man, al
ways ready to uphold the right and to
vigorously prosecute the wrong, and he
took a deep interest in the develop
ment of this section. 1t was due al
most entirely to his efforts that Nc
Neill was selected as the location for
the first branch experiment station
established in this state, and he Sc
cured this in competition with such
formidable rivals as Hattiesburg,
Brookhaven and Lumberton. For sew
eral years his health has been bad, due
to heart trouble, and his friends here
feared a sudden collapse. He leaves
a number of relatives here and in
North Carolina.
Mr.. Graham was a member of sew
eral orders, including the Masons,
Knights of Pythias and Woodmen of
the World. He never married.
