Coz. Brewer to Buy Milk

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 21.-Gov. Brew
er and members of his family have
been compelled to forego the pleasure
of having one of the finest Jersey
COWS in Mississippi as an acquisition
on the executive mansion property.
Several months ago Dero Saunders,
Of Starksville, gave Mrs. Brewer an
exceptionally valuable blooded Jersey

consume more milk than any of his
predecessors, was overjoyed. He en-

Then it was discovered that the COW
was in a county that had been quar-.

had not been taken up at that point
The law regarding the quarantine was

Harry Woods in which Mr.. Bryan de-
clares the Democrats Of Illinois should
not consent to any agreement which
would give the long term United

Colonel James Hamilton Lewis, the
choice of the primary.
The letter, under date of Feb. Is.
and written from Miami, Fla, follows:
Il am pleased to hear from you and
to have your opinion as to the situa-
ton. have been a little puzzled to
know just what to expect. I do not
know how Governor Wilson may feel
about taking part, but I do not hesi-
tate to express my opinion that the
Democrats of the state having select
ed Mr.. Lewis for the long term should
not consent to any agreement that
would give the Democrats the short
term only or give 1t to any one else
other than the person elected by the
primary. They ought to insist upon
the selection of Mr.. Lewis before they
permit selection for the short term"
The Progressives yesterday prevent
ed the election Of two United States
senators in the Illinois legislature.
Lawrence R. Sherman, Republican, for
the long term, and Charles R. Funk,
Progressive, for the short term. They
refused to enter into combination
with the Republicans until furnished

HOLDING HANDS IN
old FASHION WAY
YOUNG COUPLE UNcoNscIoUsLY
EATED CONSIDERABLE
AMUSEMENT ON STREETS.

Smiles and grins of a varied char.
acteT covered the faces of the people
who happened to be near the corner
of Front and Main streets this morn
ing about 10 o'clock, when a young
couple having the appearance of not
being subjects of the back-to-the-farm
movement leisurely and happily stroll
ed along the street, affectionately
clasping each others hand.
She was buxom, blithe and debonair
maiden, with flaxen locks and a ging-
ham dress. Her two long plaits of
hair swung down her back with the
same unconscious joyousness that
frightened her face and made her all
ohlivious to the presence Of the smil-
ing, grinning, craning passers-by.
He wore the conventional garb of
one of Gods men who earn their bread
in the sweat of their brows. His face
was the scene Of three conflicting emo
tions-happiness, a mild embarrass-
ment and a struggling, downy sub
stance that some day may be the vic
tim of a ruthless tonsorialist
Whether they were brother and sis
ter, sweethearts, or the principals in
a recently consummated wedlock,
could not be learned, but, from the
manner in which she led the way with
an unfaltering step and commanding
eye, while he was wont to tread fall
tering step and rested his eyes upon
none save her, It is not a reckless
guess to say that the latter was their
happy etate. -
In this day OF secret love-making and
prudish conception Of conventional.
ties this couple presented refreshing
scene of pure love- Some grinned be
cause they were vulgar, some laughed
because they we're amused, and others
SMILED because they recognizd the
spotless, verdant beauty Of It.

count for moneys expended by the
administration. This committee called
on President Huerta yesterday after
noon and urged that Madero be held
accountable for the depleted condi-
ton of the treasury.
The last details Of the organization
Of Mexico's new government were
completed at o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon when members of President
Huertas official family took the oath
in the yellow room in the palace i'm
mediate.y above that occupied by the
deposed President and Vice-President.
Although unable to witness the
scenes from their room, Madero and
Suarez could hear the plaudits of the
crowds in the streets and in the big
square in front and the bugle calls
of the united army. Significant of
the birth of the new administration
was the frank display of soldiers and
the effects on the crowds was not
lost. 1t served as a reminder that
even If it was not military dictator
ship that had been established the
present administration was of much
sterner quality than that which had
just fallen.
Diaz Witnesses oaths Administered.
Gen. Felix Diaz was among those
in the yellow room when the minis
ters took the oath and heard pro-
nounced the formal time honored
phrase:
"If you keep this oath, the country
will reward you; If you do not it will
call you to an accounting"
Gen. Diaz was present ostensibly in
no official capacity but merely as a
private citizen, which he became many
months ago on resigning his commits
sion as general in the regular army
Madero and Pine Suarez betrayed
in their faces the chagrin and humil-
iation which they must have felt, ac-
cording to officers of the guard. Meth
er deigned to ask questions as to
what was happening in the room above
but the conversation of the guards
served to acquaint them with the pro-
ceedings. A sneer showed on the face
of Madero but the detection of the
former Vice-President was too great
apparently to permit a play of other
emotions.
Federico Gonzales Garso, the for
mer Governor of the Federal district
is the third prisoner occupying the
room. There is no partition. Each
man is furnished with a bed and
meals are brought periodically and
served jointly. Madero has ceased
to refuse food and so far as personal
comfort is concerned he no longer
resists efforts in that direction.
Outside the room stands a guard of
soldiers, and although there are no
windows in the room another guard
is constantly ON duty within, even
during the sleeping hours
No one has been allowed to talk
with the prisoners, although their
wives have been permitted to send
verbal messages.

Mexico City, Feb 21.-Francisco Ma
'doro's fate lost first place in the in
terest of the Mexican populace today
because of the more pressing concern
as to the extent to which Mexico is
yet in a condition of revolution. In
spite of the termination of hostilities
in the capital there are indications of
widespread trouble in other sections
Of the country. &.
Disposition of the deposed President
and Vice President had not been set
tied this morning and there is still
cause for some anxiety. In view Of
General Huerta's personal assurance
to Sonora Madero that her husband
would not be killed, 1t was believed
some humane measure would be de-
vised for his elimination from public
life.
According to dispatches a number
of rebel leaders, including Orozco,
Aguila and De Lallave are in accord
with the new administration. There
has been no intimation from Zapata
or General De Lao Of their conformity
with the new order of things. Reports
have been received from the north
which appear serious. Governors of
four states openly refuse allegiance.
Whether their disaffection will take
the form of active rebellion is mere
speculation, but it is indicated that
General Huerta will send additional
troops to the affected districts In or
der to check the rebellious movement.
Charges, which are not altogether
sustained, were made today by the
new authorities, tending to indicate
that the Madero administration, in its
extremity, was contemplating a whole
sale slaughter. A police officer de-
clared that Francisco Madero person
ally and verbally gave him list OF
forty-three deputies, number of SEN
ators and all newspaper men, includ-
ing foreign correspondents, with in
structions to have them assassinated.
Such stories as this have created a
bitter sentiment against Francisco
Madero, and have caused number of
men whose names were on the lists to
use influence to secure summary pun
ishment for the fallen President.

Not So Hot in Duncan
As in Some Places

There are some places in this
state where it is hotter than in
Duncan. A former citizen Of this
town, now a rising attorney in
the capital city, came in on Mon
day evenings train to spend a
few days looking after his busi-
ness interests here. He was com
planning bitterly about the in
tense heat in Phoenix and found
ready sympathy among his Dun
can friends who were experience
ing a touch of the same torrid
weather. That night he was in
vited to take potluck with the
boys in the Arizonian Office, and
to make himself comfortable was
given two quilts, a pair of blank
cts and a tarpaulin to build a soft
pallet with. In the early dawn,
ere chanticleer had proclaimed
the hour of morn, and while the
office force was just enjoying the
cool morning breeze whose invIg-
Grating freshness rounds out the
perfection Of our climate, the
Phoenician suddenly darted into
the room, siezed a bundle of ex-
changes, threw them into the
stove and deliberately set them
afre. What in thunder are
you up to-" shouted the manager,
who had watched the proceeding
in silence. 'Do YOU know that
those papers are worth 25c a hun
dfed cash in advance and that
we don't use them to build fires
with; what the bIankety-bIank
do you want fire for anyway

Because I'm cold," replied
the Phoenician, with chatteiing
teeth, "and [ don't care what
