Lumber Trade Good.

Jackson-Lumber market conditions
in South Mississippi are most satisfae-
tory. Dressed lumber demand continues
good. Yard and shedstocks are consid-
erably broken and the market is strong.
Dimensions and heavy timbers are also
in demand. Pole stocks, which for the
last few months have been weak, show
decided activity. Many sales are re-
corded and mills are deluged with or
ders. Exports keep up steadily, though
there is some complaint of the increased
tonnage rates. Many foreign buyers
are in the territory, however, ana sell
ing continues.

Taft Attacks Roosevelt.

Springfield, Mass.-Declaring in his
speech here that Roosevelt "ought not
to be selected as a candidate of any
party" Mr.. Taft said the former pres
ident might now be paving the way,
if successful in the present campaign,
to remain the chief executive of the
nation for as many terms as his nat
ural life would permit IF he is nee
essary now to the government, why
not later?''
''Mr. Roosevelt ought not to be nom-
mated at Chicago, because in such
nomination the Republican party will
violate our most useful and necessary
government tradition-that no one
shall be permitted to hold q third
presidential term"
Zone who so lightly regards consti-
tutional principles, and especially the
independence of the judiciary, one
who is SO naturally impatient of legal
restraints and of due legal procedure,
and who has so misunderstood what
liberty regulated by law is, could not
safely be inJrusted with successive
presidential terms. I say this sorrow
fully, but / say it with the full convic-
ton of its truth"
Zone of the real reasons why Mr.
Roosevelt ought not to be selected as
candidate of any party is the natural
distrust that the whole business COM
munity will have in respect to the
measures which Mr.. Roosevelt will
propose in order to effect revolu-
tion in the interest of social justice
which he advocates so strongly and
defines so vaguely"

THE LURE OF
 CITY LIFE

Clyde Fitch's last play, "The City,, which the United Play Company is sending to the Wins low Theatre Friday, Dec. 2, has occasioned more discussion than any purely American play, due in main, to the interest impelline story and the phase of country and city life which is presented in a manner likely to arouse de bate. The problem of the boys and the girls leaving the old folks and the farm for the life and op- portunity of the big city is one which has come to many homes. It has been made the subject of countless newspaper and maga- zine articles but in only one sue cessful play, "The City, has the theme been handled by the dram atist. MT. Fitch does 1t fearless ly. He loves the country but he IS also just to the city. He points out that while masses of popula- tion may engender great vices, they also engender great virtues, and if they not produce they cer- tainly develop the finest and keenest intelligence that we have. 'The City" is distinctly a play of the here and now. It has all of the Fitch Brilliancy of epigram and dialogue and enough comedy to satisfy even 'the tired busi- ness man."
 An unusually good cast will present the play here. It is head ed by the splended young dram atic star, Hugo B. Koch. whose work in 'The Servant in the House., ''The Port of Missing Men" and "The House of Q Thousand Candles" is so well and favorably rememebred. He will be supported by a typical United Play Company cast and 5he production will be complete to the last detail.
 Manager Seeger is to be con graduated on having secured Hugo B. Koch in the great play The City, for Friday, Dec. 27, It is one of the strongest attrac- lions ever offered here and should do an absolutely capacity busi- ness. Many theatre parties arc being organized and the engage ment promises to be a genuine society event.

ELKS' HOME NEAR
 " COMPLETED

The new home of Winslow Lodge No. 536, according to con tractor Heymer, will about be completed in another month. The building when completed will be a credit to the town and the mem- bers of the Winslow Lodge in par ticular. So far the building has two occupants, one is Geo. F. Schaal the jeweler and J. B. Drumm the barber, which latter establishment is now frst-class in every particular. The corner store will be occupied by w. c. Kelly and will be a drug store. The fixtures for the same arrived this week and are being set up by a man from Los Angeles sent here especially to do the work.
 One of the Lodge halls on the second floor has been rented to the local Lodge of the Ladies of the Maccabees of the World who aside from using it themselves will sub-rent to a number of other Lodges. The office rooms, of which there are two, will be occupied by Dr. Geo. P. Sampson and lady Dentist Miss Zesch. One of the stores on the first floor it is said will be occupied by Chas. Petter- son the tailor and the other is still for rent.
 The Elks quarters, proper, when completed will be complete in every detail, with banquet hall and club room in connection. The receipts of the big Elk's Ball given Wednesday, evening. are to be expended to fit out the club rooms.
 Aside from that Winslow Lodge will expend from between two to three thousand dollars for furni- ture to fit out the Lodge room and other necessaries. All the electric light fixtures, chandali- CTS, etc., in the Elks quarters are of the Elk head design and are very beautiful.

The company which will pre- sent "The Lion and the Mouse" at the Opera House, January, 3, has really wonderful array of well known people enlisted in the ranks of the organization. The management do not believe in the too common system of "one or two giving the whole show" but have organized what is undoubt- edly one of the strongest casts ever brought together.

 8. A pie-eating contest by Masters Gates and Kleindienst, who kept the audience laughing for quite a while.
 g. 3 Rounds of Boxing, Hans 6 Fritz. This exhibition was rather a surprise for the audience when the curtain arose and the two youthful sons of Andy Mon tano, no doubt two of the small est boys that ever had gloves on their hands appeared on the stage and were introduced. The young sters fought three rounds which would have been a credit able showing for boys many years older than they.
 10. 8 Rounds of Boxing, Mutt & Jeff. This exhibition was giv- en by Messrs Geo. Sampson IT,, and Geo. Drumm and was very good.
 II. 4 Rounds of Boxing, Two Real Hopes. This was consider ed the main bout, between Billy Wing and Dutch the Painter" and was pretty fast and turf at times on the boxers and wound up in a draw.
 12. Address Good of Our Order, Sidney Sapp. In this number Judge Sapp showed his ability as an able speaker and al though preparing for the occa- sion on short notice, his speech was full of good points well taken in every respect in behalf of the order.
 13. Mock Initiation of a "Would-be-Elk," with all the trimmings. Ceremony conducted by 'Bill' Kelly and his willing, cruel helpers. The victim WIS a new Elk in the person of Roland Salty" Showalter and the mas ter of ceremonies was MT. w. c. Kelly. MT. Showalter might of thought that there would be lots of fun connected with this num- Der, but he soon found out to his sorrow that it was so nearly the real thing, as much so that when it is now mentioned to him his declaration is Never Again.
 After the entertainment the crowd proceeded to the Electric where they enjoyed dancing un- til 2 a. m., with extra good mu- sic and plenty of good eating along with it on the stage during the evening. Bro. w. E. Floyd was the chief cook and to say the least he did himself proud.
 All in all the affair was a grand success from start no finish and as afore mentioned all credit is due MT. Ellis that the Winslow Lodge of Elks can bestow.
 The receipts of the affair when all the tickets and money will fi- nally have been turned in will come close to the $400 mark, of which amount about $200 will be paid out for necessary expenses.

YOUNG WIFE AC-
 CIDENTLY SHOT

W bilS OIl llS1 way nome from a hunting trip at Canyon Diablo, in company with her sister Mrs. 5. F. Brooks, aboard Santa Fe freight engine, Mrs. R. s. Marley, wife of Heck Marley was acci- dently shot hy the explosion of a g calabre rifle and died a few minutes later, death being almo st lnstantanious.
 The two sisters left here early Tuesday morning for Canyon Di- ablo where they went to hunt for rabbits, being well accustomed in the way of handling guns and used to the range and country in that vicinity. Mr. Brooks, hus- band of the deceased'S $ sister. and an engineer in the trainservice for the Santa Fe made arrange ments to pick them up on his en- zine at Canyon Diablo on his way from Gallup to Winslow that eve uinG, which he did.
 The women boarded the engine and were riding in the cab, with their rifles loaded, few shots were fired from the particular rifle before they started.
 They were soon on their way. Mrs. Brooks occupying a seat near her husband and Mrs. Mar ley seating herself on the fire mans side, Frank Wagoner. Mrs. Marley placed her rifle near the fireman and thought she had set the same on safety" when all of sudden, thru the jar of of the engine or otherwise, there was loud report of the gun, and the bullet cutting four holes in the jacket of the fireman, and sever ing the main artery of the neck of Mrs. Heck Marley and lodging it. self at the base of the skull, back of the right ear.
 All possible haste was made to get to Winslow and cvry thing was done to stop the flow of blood with waste and pieces of clothing available, but the young woman died before they arrived at Wins low according to Santa Fe phySi- clan Dr. o. $. Brown who was awaiting the arrival of the train at the depot.
 At the time of the accident Mr. Marley was on the range looking after the cattle and when notified of the accident made all possible haste to get to Winslow but could not get here until few hours af- the death of his wife. They were married here in Winslow about three years ago.
 The deceased, aside from her husband and Mrs. Brooks, her sis ter, leaves a sister Mrs. Marley West of Needles, Cal, and some relatives in Douglas, Ariz., where her father and mother have been laid to rest years ago.
 The funeral services were con ducted Thursday afternoon at the home of J. w. Marley, Rev. Carl NJ. Ross of the M. E. Church off ciating, witnessed by a large num- Der of relatives and friends. Miss Day and MT. w. E. Beck sang two hymns Jesus, Lover of my Soul, and Come Ye Disconso- late". The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful in the way of moss wreaths and boquets of flowers, also a white flower pill low with the inscription Wife and an anchor design of flowers.
 The deceased was but eighteen years of age and was well known and loved by a large number of Winslow people.

 That's what everyone is saying who was in Winslow last We'd nesday evening.
 As has been announced weeks ago, the Big Elks Doings was given this week Wednesday even ing, even better than the most profound wishes of the most en- thusiastic workers in the move ment anticipated in order to make that night one to be remembered by every Elk of Winslow 536, and every citizen in. town.
 First of all we must say that unlimited amount of credit is due Bro. F. K. Ellis, promoter of the affair, with his corpes of well se- lected able assistants, in the way every number of the program at the Opera House as well as at the Electric met with general ap- proval. Everyone and every thing worked in harmony, and the affair was tremendous suc- cess from start to finish.
 Promptly at 7:30 p. m., MT. Theo. H. Shufin started his fire works" on Front street and music was rendered by the Boys Band. The crowds commenced to come and the Opera House was con- fortably filled to see the big home talent show.
 The outline of the program was as follows:
 1. Winslow Mandolin Club, Selection. This club has been or ganized by Messrs Carroll and Easley the last summer and are doing wonders in the musical line.
 2. Navajo Indian Dances, Real Red Men With Native Costumes and Music. This dance was given by number of Pueblo h. dians in the employ of the Maya jo Ice Co.,, and was appreciated very much bV the audience.
 8. Mandolin and Guitar Duet, Messrs. Carroll and Easley. The boss musicians of Winslow in their respective lines who always make good.
 4. Japanese Jui-Jitsu. An in- teresting exhibition of wrestling and self-defense, given by a troupe of Japanese experts. This number was of great interest to many people and was sort of a novelty act to those who had never witnessed the stunt be- fore, a feat at home, with the Japanese.
 5. A Musicians Surprise, Bur- lesque, Elk Roland Showalter. Many of the people of Winslow have seen this particular Bur lesque" stunt done by MT. Sho- walter before, which is done with his lips, a noise similar to the playing of a trombone and the ordinary motion of the hands guiding the instrument, but the funny part of it all was, when Salty" after doing his stunt again came on the stage with a real trombone, in front of a drop curtain and made motions as though he were playing the same for about all their was in him. As a matter of fact he could no more play the same than an "Irishman could play a Jews harp" as he professed afterwards and which the audience soon learned when all at once he quit his motions and started to bow to the audience and the playing of the trombone still went on in back of the curtain, where-upon he left the stage. The curtain was raised, and there stood ou1 old friend Prof. Ellis, blowing on his instrument like he never blowed before. The stunt was 2
