of Vital Statistics, q, ,306 persons
died in Mississippi last year. Of
these 1854 were whites and 49,
662 were negroes. The white
death rate was 9.3 per thousand.
while that of the colored people
was 13 per thousand. Of the to-
tai number of demises, 9,012 are
thought to have been preventa-
BILE, or at least postponable. The
leading causes of deaths are set
down as follows: tuberculosis
524 whites, 2,041 negroes; pneu-
monia-510 whites, 915 negroes;
pelIagra -209 whites. 915 ne
groes. There were 447 homicides
in the state, 162 being of white
persons and 285 Of negroes. This
homicidal record is frightful, av-
eraging more than FIVE killings
to the county. Mississippi has
no more urgent need than a bet
ter enforcement Of her criminal
laws. -Hattiesburg Tribune.

II you are expecting good results and
would have well.headed cabbage, good

is the time to take advantage Of this
ideal growing weather. Work your
cabbage well. keep the soil well stirred
and pulverizel and when plants show
signs Of growth. use nitrate Of soda,
about teaspocnful to each plant. put
ting this wonderful fertilizer between
each plant about three inches from the
roots; you will be surprised at the re-
suits In about q weeks time. After a
few days, you may start plowing. put
ting the soil up to the plants, without
covering. II ground should be rough,
use side harrow or cultivator to pull
verize.
Now about the Irish potatoes and
beans. AS soon as the plant life makes
its appearance, stir the ground either
with harrow or cultivator; by SO doing
YOU will materially help the growth.
You may plow the potatoes and beans
about two weeks after appearance,
thus keeping the ground in nice, loose
condition. If the potato bug should
make its appearance, several remedies
can be used, but would recommend
one pound of paris green to fifty gallons
of water, well stirred. Prospects for
vegetables at the present time are GER
tainly good
The association will have a big sup
ply of tomato and sweet potato plants
for sale. Nj. J, DUGGAN.

Lawyers Come To
Blows In Court
BRUNN DIVORCE CASE BITTER FIGHT
Each Lawyer Pays Fine Of Fifty Collars And
Offers Apology

The Bruun case has added an
other sensational episode to the
legal history of Kotenai county.
This Time it was the lawyers and
not the principals who furnished
the excitement. The case was on
trial i'm the district court Thurs
day afternoon before Judge Flynn
Mcfarland & Mcfarland of Occur
d'Alene are attorneys for Mrs.
Bruun and Culp Of CoeuF d'Alene
and King of Spokane are attor-
neys for Bruun. The attorneys
had been wrangling all the af-
tcrnoon and much personal hard
feelings had been engendered. An
aifadavit by Culp accusing Nc
Farland of deliberate lying to the
court, it is said, was the cause
of this feeling as Mcfarland re-
sented the charge vigorously.
The alteration was continued
after court adjourned and the lie
was passed. Then Mcfarland
struck Culp over the head with
his cane cutting a small gesh in
his scalp. Culp grabbed a chair
and started TO attack Mcfarland
with it when King, Culp's associ-
ate, grabbed the chair. Culp
dropped the chair and turned and
seized the heavy court seal from
The judges desk to throw at Nc
Farland. AS he was raising it
Judge Flynn, who was still be-
hind the desk, seized the seal by
the bottom and prevented him
from throwing it.McFraland drew
a revolver from his pocket. Judge
Dunn, who had heard the quarrel
had stepped out Of the judges
room behind Mcfarland and as
ne drew the revolver Dunn grab
bed his arm and in the struggle
the revolver dropped to the floor.
King at the same time seized
Culp and between those present
the combatants were separated
quieted.
The next morning both attor-
neys were hailed before the court
when Judge Flynn gave them a
severe reprimand and fined each
of them fifty dollars for con-
tempt of court. Both men paid
their fines and apologized to the
court and each one laid the blame
on the other. The judge stated
that both were to blame and that
in his remarks he did not intend
to blame one more than the other
and the incident was closed.

Quarantine
On Stock

One of the most rigid quaran-
tines in the history of Idaho has
been put on in this state to pre-
vent he shipment of live stock
into Idaho from states that have
been or may be in the future quar-
antined by the federal govern
ment.
This quarantine, to hold in
definitely, is on to protect Idaho
stock from the dread foot and
mouth disease prevalent among
Icloven hoof stock, including cat
tie sheep and hogs in particular.
Horses can also be afflicted with
this contagious disease, which is
spreading over the country and
which if not controlled will cost
Idaho and other states hundreds
OF thousands of dollars in the LOSS
of stock.

SOmmerS' House
Is Robbed

The residence of J. H. Som
mers, manager of the Bungalo
Theatre, was broken into Sunday
evening and one hundred and
thirty-four dollars taken. The
robbery took place some time in
the early part of the evening
while both Mr.. and Mrs. Sommers
we're away at the theatre. Mr..
Sommers had an unusual amount
cf money on hand that night as
he had neglected to bank Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday nights
receipts.
He had concealed the money
in what he thought a safe place
before going to the theatre that
evening and the presumption is
that some one was watching or
else accidentally saw him put it
away and knew where to go to
get it as the house did not show
any signs Of having been ran
sacked to any great extent.
Mr.. Sommers thinks the rob-
] lbers paid him a second visit the
same evening. About half past
two he heard some one on the
porch and got up and frighten-
eG them away.
