Petrograd, June 27.-A resolution categorically rejecting any move for separate peace between Germany and Russia has been adopted by an overwhelming majority by the Con- gress Of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies of all Russia. The resolu tion, at the sams time. declares that restoration of peace at the earliest possible day is the most important need of the Russian revolutionary democracy.
 The text of the resolution which was proposed by revolutionary TO- cialists and the nninimalist social democrats. follows: is
 The present war arose In con- sequence Of aspirations of imperia3- tsts. prsvailinG among the ruling claasss of all countries and tending towarda the usuEpation of markets and sasbmilGlon to thoir economic and political inAuenco Of small and dc. cadent na4ions. Tho war is leading to complste exhaustion of the peopies of Ill countraAs and h placing tho Russian revolution on the edge of . precipice. While making millions of svictimo and absorbing bilhons of tho wealth of the country, It threatans to $ increase still moro the disordsr ia which Ruasia waa left by the old ro-. gime, leading to famine and turning tho country from productive labor for consolidation of it's newly won hb- erty.

Consequently the congress

cize it should suspend judgment til
results speak for themselves.
The New York police department,
which has Of late years mad tha repu-
tation of being the best in the world,
is now rudely called before the bar
of public opinion because of an awfnl
murder committed here in February
which has just been unearthed by the
finding of the body of Ruth Cruger,
an eighteen-year-old school girl, in
the cellar of an Italian bicvcle repair
er. The poor girl. who belonged to a
good family, was last seen alive at
his shop on February 18th last; he
escaped to Italy, and she was believed
to have eloped with some one. All
the time her fair young form was
mouldering away under six feet OF
earth in the Italians cellar, and it
was found by the wonderful work of
a woman lawyer, Mrs. Humiston.
The police who examined the cellar
and failed to find the body. and who
let the miserable murderer (his name
is Cocchi, pronounced Cockey) get
away. have been suspended from the
force, and more are to follow. Mrs.
Humiston says 800 girls have disap-
peared in this city since the 6egin-
ming of the year, and eighty murders
are still unavenged. The body Of the
girl was so far gone in decay that she
was identified only by a college ring
on her finger, and by her velvet hat.
Her skull had been crushed and her
body slashed with a knife. Cocchi.
the murderer, has been caught at
Bologna, Italy. and has confessed his
guilt. 1t is feared the Italian gov
ernment may not give him up, for
there is no capital punishment in that
country, and he may not get over
three years Imprisonment there.

greatest of all cities of earth.

GIstus Capooth Bound to Circuit
Court

The preliminary trial of Cietus Ca
pooth for shooting with intent to kill
Lou Dixon, was had Saturday before
Esqs Fl. G. Gooch, N. E. Goodrum
and ]. G. Gilbert. Wood and Aber-
nathys represented the defendant, and
w. j. Lamb, of Corinth, was prose-
cuting.
Lou Dixon was shot in the bottom
of Tnscumbia several weeks ago. He
was looking for violators of the game
law when he met young Capooth and
another he did not positively Identify.
Capooth shot him without word
passing between them, striking him
in the left side with full charge of
No. 6 shot. Dixon has not been able
to attend the trial before. He swore
positively to it being Capooth. The
stat introduced several witnesses
who heard defendant say he would
not allow Dixon ever to arrest him
and that he would be found in the
woods some day.
The defendant relied on an alibi,
which was pretty strong, but the
court did not see how it could be
trae. The young man gave bond to
appear at next circuit court for the
action of the grand jury.

Asst Citations that viii not hold any
meeting this year on account Of the
Observation-Disclosures brought about by
the war, still the McNairy County
Fair Association plans to give the
public, if possible, the best fair in
October that it has ever held. The

become more familiar with our needs,
and those OF our neighbors away from

learn more OF production and conser-
walton; to appreciate more fully the
benefits to be derived from unity of
purpose and effort, and to more fully
appreciate the spirit Of fraternalism
and patriotism. Let Us therefore get
together as the people of the county.
and make every department Of the
fair full of the best exhibits. Get up
that friendly and keen rivalry that
will produce the best results. Talk
fer the Fair, and in .erest yourself and
your friends. Take personal inter

numerous party rolling up Broadway
this week in autos, cheered by i'm
mense crowds, but we have had SO
many big people here from abroad,
all on war business. hitching US up to
their program of cooperation against
our mutual enemy Kaiser Bill, that it
is hard to keep track of them all.
The Italian flag with its vivid green
stripes and its white cross on a red
ground, contrasted prettily with our
own and other flags, and all these
banners of various colors informing
ling on our biggest buildings ard
everywhere else show plainly how far
we have progressed in getting into
the world-swim. There is no going
back now, and all the short-sighted
efforts at peace making (most of
which can be traced to German orr
gin or to Socialists or Anarchists who
never will be satisfied this side of the
Internal regions) will not avail against
the stern resolve of this country to
help overturn the last foe of demo-
cracy before we sheathe our sword;
the sword that never was drawn but
in defense of liberty, and which
knows not the stain of defeat or re-
treat.
New york is just finishing its own
military census, in which everybody,
male and female, between the ages Of
sixteen and fifty. had to register for
service connected with the war, the
females of course for duty here at
home, although many of them may
90 to the front as nurses. About
three million people have registered
/ in this city. Six months in Jail is
the penalty for not registering. 9th
er states will doubtless do the same,
and ii begins to look like we would
go into this war about the best pre-
pared of any nation, after all
Many important things are happen
ing which the newspapers cannot pub
lish for fear Of giving notice Of our
operations to our arch enemy. There
are spies and traitors here who lose
no time in getting news Of American
military or naval movements to Ger
many in some way. Germans here
have been spreading stories of awful
defeat of American vessels in engage
ments with German vessels, and it
has been denied by the Secretary of
the Navy, and still the lies go on. till
we catch the liars and make them
shut up. We have done that in a
number of instances. 1t is we'll with
our forces thus far, and the time will
doubtless come when our operations
will be known to all, but we will have
to wait awhile about that. We must
keep Germany guessing as long as
we can. In her case forewarned will
be foresrmed. Let no one doubt that
the conduct of this war from the
American standpoint is in safe hands.
After twenty-six years experience in
the Government service ! look upon
