ured conspicuously in an interchange

tives Thomas, of Kentucky, Represen-
tative Mann, of Iillonois, and others
in the house today while the tariff
bin was pending. Mr.. Thomas crit
icizing remarks by some of the minor

Of Michigan as the ''hairless wonder
from Michigan and Representative
Murdock, of Kansas, as "the gentle
man from Kansas who sports the sun
set locks around the house
Mr.. Thomas advised Mr. Mann to
get shaved and asserted that the mi
nority leader consumed volumes of the
congressional record with his mixed
metaphors and insipid nothfngness,
and so cost the government possibly
; $1O,090,000 since ne has baen rafting
around on that side of the house"
Mr., Mann ended the incident by
saying that Mr.. Thomas has hair on

kered That is true, but at least, l
am not bewhiskied."

Mississippi Is
Beginning toRise
at New Orleans
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


New Orleans. May Except for a.
fall of one-tenth of a foot at Natchez
and two-tenths rise at New Orleans,
the Mississippi river stages remained
stationary for the twenty-four hours
ending at a. M, at all points from
Vicksburg south. The slight rise at
New Orleans was due to a slight
shifting wind.
The second rise is expected to
make it's appearance tomorrow from
the mouth of the Red river south to
the gulf
notwithstanding fall Of eight feet
at Memphis within four days, and
fall OF 5.5 feet at Helena, the gauge at
Arkansas city shows a drop of IA feet
indicating that a considerable quantf-
ty of water is entering the MISSISSIPPI
pi through the Arkansas and White
rivers. Thus the loss Of over one and
a half feet of water a day for four
days in the river stretch between
Helena and Arkansas City is almost
offset by a gain of IL feet daily from
the swollen Arkansas streams and
oyerf1owed lanas west and south of
Helena. Such a large quantity of Gre
vase water is pouring back into the
Mississippi at Vicksburg. from the
section flooded by the Mayersville
Miss. crevasse, that no relief has been
noted in the Vicksburg territory from
the big crevasse below there on the
Louisiana side.

Washington. d. c.. May 2-Repre-
sentatives EEngle has asked Post
master General Burleson to withdraw
the recommendation he made some
time ago endorsing T. J. McRae, for
postmaster at South Jacksonville. He
will recommend another man within a
few days.
1t is evident from the number of
letters which are being received here
daily by Representatives Wilson and
L'Engle endorsing their action in re-
fusing to attempt to amend the tariff
bill with regard to citrus fruits, that
the majority of the voters of Florida,
are with them in their stand for pass
ing the bill as 1T came from the ways
and means committee. Scarcely day
passes that over hundred letters
are received commencing their action
and advising them that the majority
of the voters are with them.
Following is a letter received today.
which in general outline is similar to
most of those received:
Il am an orange grower; have Is
acres. Let The Progressive Wilson
tariff DII1 go through. / expect to be
benefited in things / have to buy, so
Vcan afford to come down on oranges.
Nt know oranges are considered a
fuxury by good many and so is sugar
and many other things we ought to
have more of, but oranges are a nee
essity for health and happiness. We
can take care of ourselves along with
the rest of the producers.
You are acting the man up there
all right, and all your friends are

The negro who alleges he was the

cording to him, robbed him of three
dollars and forty-twO cents. He told
the same tale Wednesday as he had
previously of the occurrence. Sher-
III Bradford advised him to see Sher-

he took out a warrant, as it was prob
able that Sheriff Gamble would
straighten the matter out with him
satisfactorily.
