University Of Mississippi, Miss,
March AIN weather that would
have been ideal for a gridiron con-
test, University Of Mississippi took
the first game Of the series from
Chamberlain Hunt Academy on
university field this afternoon 2 to
q. In spite OF the heavy condition
of the grounds the infelders &C
cepted all chances perfectly, the
errors resulting from bad throws.
The old Mississippi team jumped
Ia at the start aud forced one man
across ia the hFsl ipning. They
kept their sticks busy aud more
runs were scored in the fourth,
sixth and eighth. ChambeIain.
Hunts score was the result Of a
tbree.base bit by Rothrock in the
eighth, followed by a single by
Jones. Evans fielding and hitting
was the feature Of the game. He
got single, double and a walk
out of four trips to the plate, ac-
cepted six chances without bob
bic and stole four bases. R. Will
liams, for the visitors, connected
four singles in four times up. The
second game of the series will be

Capitalists and merchants OF
Brookhaven have postponed the
organization of a syrup refining
company because not enough farm-
ers have pledged themselves to
plant sugar cane and sorghum.
This is something the farmers OF
Mississippi should get together on.
Peddling syrup from house to
house is a losing proposition, even
though a little higher price per
gallon may be obtained. When a
man charges up the time per day,
! use of his team and wear and tear,
he will find he has realized much
less than if be had sold bis prod
uct to the rehner in one shipment
at a lower price. Time is money.

Trustees Sue Brewer.

The long aud bitter controversy
between Governor Brewer and the
Board of Trustees relative to al
legged grating and mismanagenent
In the sale Of cotton grown on the
state convict farms came to a cli-
max to-day when the three mem
bers of the board, c. c. Smith, w.
A. Montgomery aud Leroy 1.
Taylor filed suit in the circuit court
of Hinds county demanding DANA,
ges from Governor Brewer in the
sum OF 100000 for alleged libel.
The bill of complaint was filed
byY. v. Montgomery IT,, attor,
ney, 9 nephew of Col. w. A.
Montgomery. the latter being one
of the principal Egures in the eou-
troyersy.
It is charged that the interviews
and published statements given out
by Governor Brewer relative to
cotton sales at the Parchman farm
were "false, scandalous, defama.
tory and libelous, and that Gov
ernor Brewer is still designing and
intending to maliciously injure and
defame the members of the prison
board.
1t is alleged that on or about the
Ath of October Governor Brewer,
in conversation with various citi-
gems in the capitol building, de-
clared that the sales of state cotton
were "rotten as hell" thereby IN
tending to convey the impression
that the members of the prison
board had not been honest IN the
discharge of their duty; that these
words were also uttered at various
other places with the intent 0
bringing these plaintiffs into in
fanny and disgrace.
The second count of the com
plant cites an article published II
the Clarksdale Challenge, and re
produced in the Jackson Dali
News, wherein the Clarksdale pa
per concluded with the words
"Let the investigation begin an'
end only when the gratters ar
brought into the open," and al
leges that Governor Brewer IN
spired this publication. Next i
cited an interview with Governo
Brewer, published in the Dali,
News a few days later, the opening
paragraphs being:
"No honest man could expect {
rest under these chafges wIshcu
demanding an investigation,
81 suppose that the board Q
trustees will demand an investigs
ton Of this matter. ] haye hear
these reports for some time, an

II there bad been any means pro
vided to do so.
"Ol course, the charges mad
against members OF the board al
most violent, and, il true, the bu'
mess is ia bad shape. aud no hoE
est man could expect 70 rest und'
these charges without 40 invest
gation."

The edict has gone forth, that

ton shall be a white ribbon affair,

liquors at any entertainment. Not
only are the President and Mrs.
Wilson and their daughters op-
posed on principle to wine drink
Ing, but the same can be said of
the Vice President and Mrs. Mar.

On the occasion of a luncheon
given by the Secretary of State and
Mrs. Bryan to the British ambas.
sador some days ago, Mrs. Bryan
announced that neither she nor
Mr.. Bryan drank wine, aud she
knew that Mr.. Bryce did not.

save hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars annually to those who en-
terrain frequently.

speaker of the House of Repre-

some years ago caused the wines
in her homeSo be emptied into the
cutters. in an effort to check the
ccnvivial habits of the social life
of Washington, Mrs. Rutherford
B. Hayes was the last mistress OF
the White House to taboo wines
and liquors.
AS soon as the new order of af

We are inexpressibIy glad for
the noble decision made by the
Wilson administrators in regard to
the non-use of wines and liquors.
The bene6cent example, safe for

thanks.

w. T. Henson by name and sought
by the authorities of Kansas for
alleged cattle rustling in that state,
was made by the sheriffs force last
evening and he will be held at the
county Jail until the arrival of 0. P.
| Reeve, a deputy from Garden City,
Kans., who has been here in quest
Of him for several days, and who
went to Devils Lake to follow UP a
supposed clew he had from that
city.
Sheriff Benson was at Northwood
| and being advised by Deputy Hougen
! that Hanson was at Larimore, went
! there by auto in search of him but the
bird had flown, tip having reached
| the ears of the man from Kansas
that the officers were after him.
| Upon arriving at Larimore he
| found that man, answering the de-
scription of the alleged cattle rustler,
had purchased a ticket in the morn
| ing for Grand Forks, but that he did
| not take the morning train. The
| Hanna train was pulling out as the
| sheriff arrived and he at once COM
municated with Chief Deputy Houg-
en-, who had the first hint that Hen
son was at Larimore and Deputy
Brenna was detailed to await the ar
rival of the train. When 1t pulled in
here, the deupty sighted his man and
Henson was promptly taken into
custody. ..- s

to take Henson to Kansas. unless
he demands extradition. Henson has
not yet decided whether to waive ex-
tradition an daccompany the deputy to
Kansas or not.
Arrested Before.
Henson was arraigned in Kansas
about month ago and was given a
hearing and bound over to the dis
trict court on $4,000 bonds, which he
furnished. Cattle dealers and the
other parties interested according to
| the alleged rustler, told him to get
| out of the country, threatening to
hang him If they found him around
that part of the state again. He said
that he did not like the prospects of
| staying there and left the country,
His bondsmen then started a search
| and traced him to this state He
had been going by the name of Dale
here and corresponded with parties in
Garden City and Wichita, which city
he claims is his home. He believes
that one of his friends, to whom he
had been writing, gave him away.
Knew He Was Watched.
Upon arriving in this city, Henson
went to an employment agency and
secured work in the harvest fields.
| but felt that he was being watched
and then went to Devils Lake,
| where he secured work with a ce-
ment company and was placed on a
| job in front Of the Ramsey county
| courthouse. He stated last night that

house having some papers in his hands
and he expected every one to come up
to him and place him under arrest.

WALL STREETS sNARLINc,

The republican party during the past

That this remonstrance comes very

the buccaneers of finance are prepared
to go. Foiled in their attempt to keep
their grip through an "advisory' COM

provided for in the Glass currency bill.

sole right to initiate matters before the

The New York World hits the nail
squarely on the head in these words:
No influence has been more urgent
for currency reform than that of Wall
street, but it is nothing save abuse for
a system Of reform which substitutes
government control for banking con-
trol. No influence has been louder
than this for an elastic currency to
meet the varying seasonal needs Of
business. But when The treasury sec

in the only way he can without letting
Wall street collect a commission ON

And yet there are those who wo err
why Wall street is unpopular.
