 One of the Morphis boys had the misfortune of losing his life on the railroad at Atkins last week but not being personally acquainted with him we failed to learn the particulars.-Pisgah correspondence Russellville Cou- rier-Democrat.
 Certainly. Quite right. No newspaper reporter to be ex- pected to concern himself with particulars of the killing of one with whom he was not acQualnt- ed. Reporters have some dlgnl- ty and must stand upon it. On the other hand, it should be the aim of every enterprising report CT to make the acquaintance ot every one likely to experience an untimely taking off to the end that, after such a calamity, the reporter may feel no embarass- ment in asking the said person for the particulars.-Fort Smith Times-Record.

y solutely without work, though seeking it. Nearly one-third o1 the entire population live in pow erty of various degrees. Those who escape infant mortality are
 sure to meet with an existence
 as cruel as death as they grow
 up. General conditions may be
 illustrated by specific instances,
 and in one case it was found that
 a woman occupied one small
 back room in dark alley, which
 she used for dining room, kltch-
 en, sleeping room and workshop
 for herself and little daughter.
 For her labor she received S1.5O
 a week, and out of this pittance
 she had to pay the landlord 50
 cents per week rent. How two
 people can hold body and soul together on S1 week would prove a mystery to most of us, but this woman gave out the figures, which are as follows: One-quarter pound of tea, 4 cents; two pounds sugar, 6 cents; flour, 3 cents; oatmeal, 3 cents; oleomargarine, one- half pound, ' cents; six eggs, clipped, ' cents; ham, ) cents; coal, 6 cents; vegetables IA cents; bread 9 cents; sun- dries, 6 cents. The weekly to- tai came to S1.20, leaving 30 cents per week for clothing and other expenses. This wo- man belongs to a very large class, who are industrious, and who find regular work, and while the income is terribly small it is much better than that which less fortunate people receive who only work when they can find it.
 The labOrers in the country districts employed on farms are no better off, with the result that they are. constantly Hooking to the city, just as they are in this country. The farmers are un2ble to secure labor, and in a certain section of Oxfordshire not man can be found under 60 years of age. In the country dis trlcts a working man was found who receives S2.5O the week, and on this sum he had to support a family of five. He paid for the rent of a cottage and a few square feet of a garden, $l5 a year. This man is reported to be thoroughly sober, one who neither drinks nor smokes, and who bears a good character for I'he wife trusts to charity for the chiidren's 1 clothes, and makes and reinakes anything gived 10 her with great skill. She has not had a new 1 iress for her self in thirteen ,ears. At times when there is 10 work to be had the family rave to be supported by the par I sh poor fund, and when we re- | ect that this is a general condi- ; ion, and not an exceptional ase, the misery of it may be the etter appreciated.
 Bad as we think times are in 1ls country most everyone who
 able and willing to work can at

REcIM STABLE
Washington Officials Give Eyi-

RELEASE MEXICAN REFUGEES
Al Persons Captured on American
Side Of the Line Ordered to Be
Set at Liberty. 81.

Washington, March 1.-The admin
istration in two actions evidenced its
belief in the stability of the Huerta
government of Mexico for the present,
at least. In the first place orders
were sent to the military commanders
from California to Texas to release all
Mexican refugees whom they had cap
tured on the American side of the
line. This was done because these
prisoners. who are few in number, can
no longer be regarded as rebels in
view of the successful revolution in
Mexico. --
In the second place safe conduct
was granted to Colonel de la Fuente
and the members of his party, now,
somewhere in the vicinity of Juarez,
to proceed to San Antonio, where an
important conference is to be held be-
tween the Mexican factions in the in
terest of general peace
T. The confirmation of the first reports
of the killing of Emilio Madero, the
third of the family slain, is regarded
as another move in the direction of
peace, removing, as it does, resource
full and implacable rebel leader.
From various quarters came. reports
of the adhesion of rebel chiefs to the
new government. Cheche Campos.
one of Orozco's ablest lieutenants,
with 700 former rebels, entered Gomez
PalaciO, escorted by federal troops.
Consul Hamm telegraphed from Du-
range that the local situation is vastly
improved; that the new administration
is very popular with the better classes,
who, though heretofore holding aloof
from politics, now have determined to
cooperate with the provisional gov:
eminent to restore order. -
Though the six warships now in
Mexican ports will continue there for
the present the tension has so relaxed
that Admiral Badger was authorized
to resume the routine drills and ma
neuvers with the big feet off Guanta-
namo, which for the last week has
been kept under banked fires in readi-
ness for instant departure for Mexico.

C0NFEREES KILL
HIGH DAM PROJECT
Minnesota Item Comes Out Of
Rivers and Aarbors Bill.

The amendment to the rivers and
harbors bill providing for increasing
the height of the navigation dam I'M
der construction in the Mississippi
above st. Paul in order to create wa
ter power and furnish electricity for
st. Paul, Minneapolis and state uni
versity buildings, was stricken from
the. bill by the conferees. Senator
Nelson made every effort to have the
other conferees agree to the measure,
but without success.
Opposition to it had developed in
the house, which threatened to defeat
the entire rivers and harbors bill. It
was practically certain that if the
high dam provision was left in the bill
the house would refuse to pass it and
the president might veto it. For that
reason compromise was necessary
to save the remainder of the measure.
Republican Floor Leader Mann Of
Illinois had given notice before allow
ing the bill to go to conference that if
this and other provisions were agreed
to by the cOnferees he would oppose
the measure on the floor.
