 WAR ON CATTLE TICK

Jackson, Miss. May 24-(Special.)- .)-An- nouncement is made that there is not a cattle tick in Claiborne county. w. H. Cooper, government inspector for Clai- borne. Adams and Jefferson, spent three or four days in Claiborne recently hunt ing for ticks. He visited all the herds and made careful search. but failed to find a single one of the pestiferous iri- sects.
 The farmers of Claiborne like those of the majority of other counties of the state. appreciate the importance of free- ing themselves of the ticks and have paid close attention to the rules and regula- tions laid down by the government aEl the live stock sanitary board. but now and then one is found who simply re- fuses to obey the Jaw and defies the government. Such Is the case in Pike county, where w. H. Brent and family refuse to dip their cattle. though orderd by the courts to do so. Brent was for merly member of the board of super visors and has been accounted a good citi- zen, but he is determined not to dip his cattle nor to confine them. The cdancel- Tor has granted an injunction restraining Brent from interfering with the tipping of cattle, and should they disob6y they will be tried for contempt of court

SATuRDAX.

The threat of danger to the Rus
sian troops from Warsaw, supposed
to be still making their way eastward
into Russia, seems to be greatest from
the north. The advance of the German
forces in the territory south Of DvinsB
is set forth in considerable detail in
news dispatches, and this military
movement, supported by railroad con
nections from Libau and Shawl, con.
stitutes a real menace to the forces Of
Grand Duke Nicholas.
An indication of the extent Of the
German progress in the Baltic prov
inces is found in a dispatch from Co.
penhagen which says that the city OF
Kovno, some fifty miles to the west Of
Wilma, is being evacuated by the civ.
ilian population. Riga, at the mouth
Of the Dvina, is expected to pass to
German possession at any time.

FRIDAY.

Petrograd has officially admitted
the fall Of Warsaw and Ivangorod, two
of the three great fortesses which
held the AustrO-German drive at bay
for so many weeks. 1t is reported that
Novo Georgievsk, the other strong
hold to the north of the polish capital,
is under bombardment and its fall is
imminent. The Germans in the north
are advancing on Riga, the Baltic
port, and are reported to be within ten
miles of their goal.
Both Petrograd and London are
confident the fall of Warsaw will not
bring about the crushing of the cars
armies. It is confidently predicted
that the Grand Duke Nicholas will
extricate his forces which are retreat.
ing eastward, and evade the German
enveloping movement.
The French war Office reports the
repulse Of German attacks along the
western line. The hardest fighting was
in the Argonne and on the heights Of
the Meuse.

SUNDAY.

The fate of the Russian armies that
Lave retired from Warsaw and its vi
cinity is hourly becoming more haz'
'dous. Dispatches from Berlin say
{ at the Germans have occupied Sc.
rock and that they have crossed the
II ug north of Serock and south of
yszkow. This means that they are
within five or six miles of the Warsaw
to Petrograd railway, which if cut
before the Russian troops have es-
capped, will mean the almost certain
capture of an enormous army.
The German forces in the Argonne
attacked with great vigor and mo
mentarily drove the French back in
the western portion of the forest
north of Fontaine Houeyette. They
were driven from their conquered
trenches very shortly, however, man
aging to retain only a listening post.
In the Vosges, where the Germans
attacked Saturday with extreme vio-
lence, the French troops were entirely
victorious.

Vienna official announcements say
the Austro-German forces under Field

ward Warsaw, and part northeast to-
ward Brest-Litovsk. Petrograd indi-
Gates the retreat was made under or
ders, after the main part Of the army
demending Warsaw had withdrawn to
a position of safety.
German forces in the west have be-
gun an offensive movement involving
tually the entire line from the North
sea to Switzerland, with the heaviest
attacks centeTing against the British
and Belgian troops along the User
canal, and the French in the Argonne
region.
Rome reports that Corr, north Of
Trieste, is in ruins from the Italian
bombardment, that food riots have oc-
Cured, and that the fall Of the city is
imminent.

THURSDAY.

Warsaw, with its population of al
most 100000, and the third largest
city of the Russian empire, capitulat
ed to Emperor William. The fortress
was stormed by Bavarian troops under
the leadership of Prince Leopold OF
Bavaria. The evacuation of the Polish
capital had been under way for sew
eral days and most of the government
tai institutions had been removed.
The Germans have captured a Sec
ton Of the French trenches on the
crest of Lingekopf, in the Vosges, af.

Ban de Sapt, in the same region, is
given out by the Paris war Office.

Surging toward the second line
Russian fortress of Brest-Ltovsk, one
hundred miles east of Warsaw, the
Austro-German forces of Field Mar

Joseph Ferdinand are sweeping away

stand. Continuous fighting and re
treating are wearing down the Rus
SLAMS to complete exhaustion, declare
prisoners; but on the other hand
there is no evidence that the German
drive has lost any Of its original We
lOcity.
If the Austro-German forces are
able to continue their steady advance
the Russian army of Grand Duke
Nicholas may find upon other arrival
at Brest-Litovsk a human wall through
which it cannot cut.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF
The WAR
WEDNESDAY.

The German onslaught to the west
of Warsaw has weakened, and Lon
don believes the lull due to a short
age of munitions. The Germans con-
tinue their advance toward Ivangorod
and north of Cholm, in south Poland,
and in Russian Courland. Petrograd
announces that the enemy is checked
in the Narew river region.
A big battle has been raging on the
Ypres front since Saturday, according
to reports from Holland. New British
armies have been in action in this re-
gion. Heavy fighting continues in the
Vosges.
The Austrians are reported to be
ready to evacuate their first line Of
defense from Travignolo to Avisia, in
the Isonzo region. Several points on
the Gail river have been occupied in
the Italian advance in Tyrol.

over to watch the animals, caught the
pin on her sleeve as she lifted her
arm and it dropped on a platform
where the seals were Topping about.
Thinking it was a fish, the seals
reached for it. There was a struggle
and the baby seal dropped over into
the water. It was badly injured but
took the pin with 1t.
The keeper had to empty the tank
of $4,000 gallons of water to get the
seal. The pin was lodged in its
throat and bullet was sent through
its head to end its suffering. The pin
was recovered. Mrs. Sanderson
bought the skin and will have a neck
