Soon after the arrival of the

this little episode, which was
similar to the old fashioned spell

light to fall on many of the guests
especially the older ones, it TAX
ing them back years to the little
old log school house and at the
same time bringing many of
those cherished memories to the
surface. AS soon as the sides
we're chosen and everyone made
to toe the mark perfectly, Mrs.
Wheeler commenced a fire If
commonplace questions which,

The Pioneer has installed an
Aneroid Barometer, Hygrometer
and a first class Thermometer
and expects to keep pretty well
posted on the weather in the fu-
ture. The Barometer is one of
the most valuable indicators of
the approach of storms and is
used for that purpose at the gov
eminent weather stations. 1t
will give warning of an approach
ing storm from twelve to twenty
four hours in advance. The Hy
grometer shows the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere and
when used in conjunction with
the Barometer and Thermometer
shows the approach of rain or
snow. We will be pleased to
show these instruments to any
one interested and explain their
workings more fully. To read
ers of Rev. Irl r. Hicks Almanac
and Word & Works" these in
struments will be of special in
terest as they are supplied and
their use advocated and explained
by the publishers CT these peri.
edicals.

Washington, Feb 12.-Justice
Wright, of the district supreme court,
at the close of John Mitchell's testi-
mony in Saturdays hearings in the
contempt proceedings against Samuel
Gompers, Mitchell and Frank Morri-
son, strongly recommended the pro-
priety" of Mr.. Mitchell making prom
ise that he would obey all court in
functions in the future. Justice
Wright intimated if Mr.. Mitchell
made such a promise before the close
of the proceedings the court might
consider immunity from imprison-
ment.
Mitchell gave no intimation as to
his course.
Earlier in the day he had said:
"My choice is that l either be vim

nation OBSERVES
LINCOLN BIRTHDAY
Taft Speaks In New York And Visits
New Jersey-Wilson In
Chicago.

Washington, Feb, 12.-President
Taft's boom for denomination will be
launched today to the accompaniment
of a nationwide broadside of Lincoln's
birthday oratory. President Taft will
speak in New York City tonight, stop
ping 'en route in New Jersey today.
Attorney General Wickersham will de-
liver an address in Milwaukee. Sec
retary of the Treasury MacVeagh is
scheduled for a speech in Lansing,
Mich, and Senator Townsend will
further the Taft cause in Detroit.
Congressman Mccall will probably
put in a word for Taft at Minneapolis,
and Congressman Asher Kinds may
be depended upon to laud the Presi-
dent in his address at Portland, Me.
Altogether it will be happy Lincoln's
birthday for the Taft forces. The La
Toilette boom is said by the Wash
ington friends of Mr. Taft to have
totally collapsed, and the President
apparently does not take Roosevelt
seriously. The Taft smile was much
in evidence when it's owner boarded
a train for his New York trip today.
The Presidents train will be side
tracked at Newark, N. j., and Mr.. Taft
will be the guest of honor at lunch
con in the home of former Gov.
Franklin Murphy at ] o'clock this af-
ternoon. Incidentally, it is expected
that Mr.. Murphy's boom for the vice
presidential nomination will be toast
ed. Later in the afternoon, as the
guest of State Senator Austen Colgate,
President Taft will attend reception
at the Essex County Country Club at
Orange, N. ].

BUSY SESSION
in CITY COURT
Large Crowd of violators
This Morning.

A large crowd of offenders, disturb
ers of the peace, and enemies of law
and order faced Commissioner Fuller
this morning. A veritable army of
negro women, every variety of size,
color and disposition, answered to
charge of assault and battery. A free
for-all fight, catch as catch can, or any
old way, occurred Saturday night in
the quarters" Out of the crowd one
of the women was allowed to go and
the others fined $1.00 and costs. Bir-
die Davis, Tommy Walton and Juliet
Ports were arrested on the charge of
vagrancy and given a $1.00 fine and
costs and made to leave the city. Bir-
die, be 1t remembered, has figured
very prominently in the annals of the
City Court for the past several months.
She has been operating notorious
dive and has given the officers of the
law no end of trouble, being up for
gaming, retailing and drunkenness.
She has left the city and her place of
business has been closed. E. E. Brink
ley was convicted on two charges of
profanity. Geo. Meyer and Tom Seay
received fines of $1.00 and costs for
drunkenness. Paul Venez, charged
with stealing a lap robe from the
buggy of DR.. Donald, was convicted
and fined $3.50 and costs. There
were also a number of cases contin-
ued and it was altogether the largest
crowd that has yet faced Commission
er Fuller in the discharge of his duties
as Police Justice.

INTEREST IN new
Federal COURT
Bill Creating Additional District Not
Likely to Pass Congress This
Session.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. ia dozen or
more members of the Mississippi bar
are eagerly waiting information from
Washington concerning the pending
bill creating new Federal court dis
trict for this state, and providing
for the appointment of an additional
Federal judge.
According to the best information
obtainable, there is some doubt as to
the passage of the bill at the present
session, despite the fact that 1t is
championed by Senator Percy, and
has already passed the house. Among
the several aspirants for the Judge
ship the belief prevails that Senator
John Sharp Williams is not very fa-
vorable inclined towards the measure,
and they think his opposition is based
/ on the ground that action should be
deferred until the election of a Demo
Siob lnuo db5uIt tuc
appointment Of a Federal judge who
would be entirely satisfactory to the
bar of the state.
There are at least six of the dozen
or more applicants, active and pas
sive, who believe they have the best
chance for the judgeship in case the
new district is created.
Congressman Humphreys introduc
ed in the house few days since bill
creating new division of the north
ern district at Clarksdale, and in somt
quarters the presentation of this bill
is taken to mean that Congressman
Humphreys has abandoned hope o
the new district bill getting through
the senate at this session.

king Of FINANCE
LAYS down BURDEN

New York, Feb. III. Pierpont
Morgan, czar of American finance, has
retired from active business life.
The vast interests of J. P. Morgan
& Co. are now in the hands of his
younger partners. Mr.. Morgan himself
is no longer at the helm nor does he
intend to resume that post when he
returns from Egypt.
He has definitely laid aside the bur-
dens and cares which he has borne
for so years and has decided to act
hereafter only in an advisory capacity
in the affairs of his firm.
Not until today did it become known
that Mr.. Morgan, just prior to his de-
parture for Egypt on December 2s,
called a conference of his partners
and acquainted them with his inten-
tion to retire from active business
affairs. The partners had kept the
secret with care.
Mr.. Morgan made the dramatic as
sertion that his entire personal for
tune was at the disposal of the firm
and would remain during his lifetime
This fortune is estimated to be $500,
100000.
The great financier explained to his
partners that he felt compelled to re
tire because of his age. He is now II
his seventy-fifth year and has stoot
the wear and tear of the financia
leadership for half century.
