RACE RIOT AT HARRIsToN, MISS.

RACE HUI Al HAhhlS ON, MISS.
Ten persons were killed and seven
teen wounded as the result of a riot at
Harriston, Miss, lasting eight hours
on Monday.
The death list includes Sheriff G. B.
Hammett, Constable Frank Kinstley
and Claude Freeman, a citizen, while
|E. B. Appleby, railroad conductor,
and O. S. ellis, circuit court clerk,
are perhaps fatally wounded.
The riot was started by Will Jones,
"a young negro, who, while filled with
whiskey and cocaine, and disappointed
-Over losses at crap game, first fired
upon members of his own race and
then began general slaughter of all
who crossed his path. He was joined
later by his brother, Walter Jones,
and the riot continued until they were
captured and lynched. The lynching
occurred at the railroad station, and
very near the state militia, ordered to
the scene from Natchez, but who state
that they did not know it was going on.
1t is believed that the affair was in
stigated by negro from Illinois nam
ed Prophet, who boasted of being ed
|ucated,' and Maggie Jones, the mother
of the Jones boys, with whom Prophet
lived. 1t is likely, at least, that their
talk influenced the minds of these boys
who were already we'll known as bad
negroes.
The sheriff was killed and the clerk
of court wounded while endeayoring
to capture the negroes in the dark
News of the affair spread like wild
fire over the surrounding country. By
3 o'clock two special trains, gotten to-
gether in the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley yards at Natchez reached Har-
riston to bear the wounded to hos
pital.
Men boarded the train at every sta
ton, and every one was armed. Fully
900 men from towns nearby were in
Harriston by 7 o'clock, and the scene
around the depot, bristling with shot
guns and revolvers, resembled a Dor
der town in the early days. The lynch
ing followed after the Jones negroes
were surrounded.

murder two years ago. One year be-
fore that he had killed another negro

some petty quarrel ellis, one of the
men whom he mortally wounded, got
him out of this trouble. The negro
was just fourteen years old at the
time.
A negro boy who worked for I. H

proposed the plan to him.

murderer, "and shoot everybody We

THE ONLY WAY COTTON PAYS.

J. A. Moberly of Tallulah, Madison
parish, says that he has 1900 bushels
of oats stored away, the average yield
per acre having been 80 bushels. Fifty
bushels is regarded as big yield and
e. bushels per acre has been reported.
Mr.. MoberIy has plantation of $500
acres, OF which LOO are in cultiya-
ton. He had less than 100 acres in
oats this year. Since the advent of the
Mexican cotton boil weevil he has been
diversifying his crops, raising cattle,

uneven, the week closing Is to

better demand than natives, be-
cause of efforts of buyers to
cheaper their droves, and sales
in that division have held steady.
Westerns are a little lower the
best steers this week selling at
$500 and $8.45. Shipment of
dressed meats has been inter-
fered with, on account Uf floods
in Ohio and Indiana. a reason
given by buyers for their hest
tating tactics. This condition
will soon be rectifed, and if
receipts continue light the
market is apt to strengthen
somewhat. Most dealers, how
ever, believe there will be few
weeks of more or less unsatis-
factory markets, though of
course no break is possible at
this time, of any great conse-
quence. Country buyers have
stayed away to some extent this
week. and middle class cattle are
off nearly half a dollar from two
weeks ago. Plain feeders may
be had around $3.50. and stock

Bees In Cities,

There is not city in America with
out its bees, to say nothing of the
towns. OF course. in New York, Chi
cago or Philadelphia they would hard
ly be successful in the central, OF con-
gested districts, nor would they be
appropriate In such localities; but
they can be located anywhere within
two miles Of the open country or
suburban districts, which offer
growths of weeds, wild plants, or
crops OF any kind which produce
flowers. In this connection, might
remark that it is very seldom that
any one except beekeeper ever real

A Point In Preparing Cucumhers--lt
10 we'll to know that good soaking OF

1t goes to the table will render It much
more digestible. Take thick parings
from the fruit, removing every bit OF
the green which holds the bitter prin-
ciple next to the skin. S1ice wafer
II little salt Is added 1t becomes even
more digestible, but its tender crisp
ness will be lost. A combination Of Gu.
cumber with little young onions Is also
healthful and appetizing.
Green Pea Salad-Shell peas to
make quart. Boil in sailed water to
cover. seasoning with mint, salt and
pepper. Drain thoroughly. pour In a
salad bowl and while still hot season
with a tablespoonful Of butter. Set on
the ice to chill while you prepare the

then beat in. little by little. four ia
blespoonfuls OF olive oil. When thick
add gradually tablespoonful and a
half Of cider vinegar; pour over the
peas and serve.
Peas with Mint-The English Gus
tom of adding a few sprigs Of fresh
mint to green peas while cooking Is
an agreeable one to most palates.
They also use mint with dressed Gu.
cumbers.
Mint Vinegar-Now Is the time also
to put up mint vinegar for fiavoring
purposes when the fresh mint. cannot
be obtained. and the dried mint Of
commerce lacks the "woodsy' flavor
that you are used to. Put the wash
ed mint leaves in wide-mouthed bot
tie. but do not pack. Fill UP with good
cider vinegar. In three weeks uncork
and pour of the clear liquid into an
other bottle. corking tightly. II lit

VALUABLE HINTS TO COOKS
Proper Method Of Serving Asparagus
to Get Best FIavors-Turnip Cups
Also Very Good.

Asparagus Steamed-We are Ia.
debted to Sir Henry Thompson for
this recipe. He says: "A hint about
boiling asparagus Is worthy Of men,
ton, since the proper method Is rare
ly followed by English cooks. AS
paragus Of the stouter sort always.
when OF the giant quality. should be
cut Of exactly equal lengths and boil
ed standing heads upward In deep
saucepan. Nearly two inches OF the
heads should be out OF the water
the steam sufic cling to cook them-as
they form the tenderest part OF the
plant, while the hard, stalky part Is
rendered soft and succulent by the
longer boiling which this plan per-
nits. Slide the asparagus (they should
be tender in about 80 or 40 minutes)
out very tenderly on an inverted sieve
with a cloth laid on It,"
Turnip Cups-Boil and halve tur-
nips. Scoop out the centers and fill
with peas. carrots in dice, beans or
beet root-anything. in short. that
will form a pleasant contrast in point
Of color. These can be put round
dish of lamb or veal. The scooped
out part can be used for PURGE and
the cups put round 1t. Before filling
the cups. coat them with white
sauce.
Turnips au Beurre-Young turnips
are required, shaped according to
taste. Sufficient butter Is then to be
melted in a stewpan. 1t should just
cover them in a single layer and the
cooking should be gentle or they are
liable to break. Cook 30 to 40 min
utes. A great improvement In flavor
is effected by parboiling them in white
stock. Serve as they are, or sprinkle
with chopped parsley or capers. They
are nice with lamb or veal.
