Umbrella Problem Solved.

Brussels leads sthe world in a new
industry which promises to alleviate
mans inconvenience on a rainy day.
A company has just been formed
with a capital of S1,0O0,O00 for the
purpose of lending umbrellas to
those who need them. Here is the
scheme: A man pays a premium or
81 a year and in return receives an
aluminium disc A rain storm sud
denly comes up while he is on his
way to the Office. Instead Of making
for the nearest shelter he drops into
the first shop he comes to, be 1t
cafe. a restaurant or a tobacco shop.
He presents his aluminium disc and
receives in return an umbrella. When
the shower is over it is not necessary
to return the umbrella to the place
where he got it. All he does is to
step into any shop displaying the sign
of the umbrella organization and
turn in his "pepin" in exchange for
which he receives another disc.
The scheme has great possibilities
and it remains to be seen if it will be
prosperous.

STIR IN MISSISSIPPI.
Lieut.. Governor and State Senator Ac-
cused of Seeking Brides.

Jackson, Miss, December 3.-The
expected arrest to-day of Lieut.. Gov.
Theodore Bilbo at his home at Poplar
vile, and the expected arraignment
of State Senator Hobbs, at Vicks-
burg, on charges of soliciting bribes
were the sensations to-day in Missis-
sippi political circles. Both men
were indicted by special grand jury
late yesterday afternoon at Vicks-
burg. Hobbs was arrested at Jack
son last night.
Unlike the legislative investigation
of 1910 when Bilbo, then State rep
resentative sprang into the limellght
by confessing that he received an al
legged bribe of S640, telephone device
records are expected to prove a great
factor in this Indictment. Bilbo was
exonerated of the charges in 1910,
maintaining that he accepted the
money to entrap the supposed brlb-
ers.
During the 1912 session of the
legislature an effort was made to
pave the way for passagesof the bill.
Detectives were employed and tele-
phonic devices, it is known. were
freely used
After Bilbo was exonerated in 1910
he aligned himself with what is
known as the Vardaman faction and
was elected lieutenant governor, and
he is now an avowed candidate for
the Governorshop in 1914.

BOY DIES OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs III. Nj. Rhodes
Dies at Ware Shoals.

Death from hydrophobia with all
of it's terribleness came yesterday to
the seven-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. NJ. Rhodes at their home
in Ware Shoals. The little boy was
bitten by a mad dog nine weeks ago
and was given medical attention i'm
mediately, having been taken to Co
lubia for Pasteur treatment as soon
as it was discovered that the dog
had rabies. For several weeks his
condition showed improvement, and,
until yesterday morning at 6 o'clock,
it was thought that he had passed
the danger point. But at this hour
he developed signs of the horrible
disease, and all that medical skill
could do proved of no avail.
1t is stated that young sister OF
the Rhodes boy was bitten also, and
she, too, had improved rapidly until
within the past few days. However,
it is hoped that medical attention
will prevent fatal results in her case.
Nine weeks ago the Rhodes chill
dren were attacked by dog at their
home in Ware Shoals. The animal
showed some signs of rabies and it
was Immediately killed and its head
sent to Columbia, where an examina-
ton showed a thoroughly developed
case Of hydrophobia. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rhodes lost no time in making appli-
cation for the Pasteur treatment and
this was administered with crafty
ing success until yesterday morning,
when the little boy was taken vio-
lently i'll, dying five. hours later, at
II o'clock.-Greenwood Journal.

CATTLE RAIsERs QUIT BUSINESS,
Condition VIII Be Felt in U. S. as
Regards Higher Prices

Ell Paso, Texas, December 6.-The
cattle industry in northern Mexico,
which was the source of large por-
ton of the meat supply of the United
States, has been practically wiped
out by the Mexican revolution and
many of the largest cattle rsisers
have been forced out of business.
Yearling steers are now selling for
$50 and S35 here and two-year-olds
for $40 to SAT and the supply is
small.
Before the revolution $40 was a
good price for a yearling and $50
for a two-year-old. The higher price
and scarcity of Mexican beef, coupled
with the poor condition of the ranges
through Texas and the epidemics of
black leg, are going to have an i'm
portant effect on the American mar
ket and cattlemen here are prophe-
sying that beef will be higher than
ever before.
I Gen. Luis Terrazas, the largest cat
tie raiser in Mexico and the owner of
thousands of acres ia the State of
chihuahua, is now reported to be
fleeing toward the American border
accompanied by several other large
cattle raisers. Before the revolution
the annual export from the Terrazas
ranches was between $4,000 and 49,
600 head. Since JAN !, last, Terrazas
has shipped less than 1000 head to
the United States. For the last Is
years Terrazas has branded between
$4,000 and 100000 calves. This year
the Iron" has been put on but 500.
The adverse conditions which have
made themselves felt through the cat
tie country in Texas and New Mexico
caused the American raisers to rely
upon the Mexican cattlemen to fur
nish the supply from the southwest
for the Denver, Kansas City and Chi
oago markets. Hundreds of buyers
are travelling through the country, but
all are wondering where the cattle are
coming from.
L. w. Parker, owner of the famous
Heart Diamond ranch, George Bled-
soc, of Engle, N. NJ, and c. j. Gra-
ham, of Cutler, N. M, have said that
they as we'll as all cattle raisers in
the southwest will be forced to begin
feeding during the next ten days. 1t
is an axiom among cattlemen that
feeding before Christmas makes
high spring market
George Johnson, one of the largest
dealers in "cow" horses in Texas, to-
day said he was unable to get suf-
ficient horses for the roundups owing
to the thousands of horses bought up
by the Mexican rebels.

quently as low as $I.5o mile.
On special runs to Chicago and other
more distant points the $3.50 per mile
rate is maintained The distance to
Chicago by the Pennsylvania is OLE
miles, which would make the fare for
one passenger running special $2,28o, or
about $4,000 if he had a private car and
the other extras. To St. Louis by the
same line is 1850 miles, which would
cost $2,625 to $4,000 to traverse in this
way.
Up to few years ago the railroad
used to furnish special trains to the
President of the United States without
charge. All that the Chief Executive
of the nation had to do was to signify
his desire to go somewhere and train
was put at his service. When Benjamin
Harrison was elected President he lived
in Indianapolis. A special trains was,
of course, furnished to carry him from
that city to Washington for his inaugu-
ration. Just as the train was starting
the railroad officials realized that prac-
tcally everybody of prominence in In
dianapolis and the surrounding country
wanted to go to Washington with the
general. The railroad desired to be nice
and obliging, SO they hitched on four
or five extra coaches at the last moment
to carry the crowd. 1t is a pretty long
run from Indianapolis to Washington
and while the special cars reserved fol-
the President and his family party were
stocked with sufficient quantity OF pro-
visions there was not enough food fol
the passengers in the extra coaches. A!
the train was running special, no tint
had been allowed for stopping to ca
along the road. The steward in charg,
OF the train was a very trustworthy ne
gro, and as soon as he grasped the sit
uation he became very much worried
Everybody aboard was a particula
realized that something must be don
to feed them all and that it was up t.
him to do it. He was the Representative
of the railroad when it came to feeding
the people on that train. SO at the frs
place where engines were changed h
sent frantic telegram ahead to tn
