HARD TO FIND
THE MAN.

The secret caucus bunch are
much worried, they are trying
to find a man who can beat Lee
NJ. Russell for governor. They
now propose to put out a man
with a clean character, and they
have turned every chunk be-
tween Venigar Bend and "Yal-
Ian Rabbit in search for this
much sought man.
Many probableS have been SUBJ
mitted, but for some reason OF
other all have failed to come up
TO the Specifications-and the
searching party continues.
A delta paper stumbled up on
the idea that Speaker Conner
might be the right man, and
Prof. Smith, Earl Brewer. and
even Ed. our old friend who has
been one of the boys. Ed BlakeS
ley, of Centennial fame. and
others have been mentioned. bat
they all look on the task as a
man-siZe Job. and it may develop
that Lee Russell will be the only
man in the race for governor
next year.

BY r. ID. Landers.

Washington, Feb. 11.-House joint
resolution, called up by unanimous
consent upon the request of Repres-
entative Humphreys, and passed apOn
its third reading, is of interest to all
the people Of Mississippi and Arkan-
sas living neal near the banks Of he
great father Of waters, being reso-
luton to enable the states of Missis-
sippi and Arkansas to agree upon :
boundary line and TO determine the
jurisdiction of crimes committed 0n
the Mississippi river and adjacent ter
lltory."
The reason for the adoption of the
resolution are, briefly y:-The boundary
line between the states of Mississippi
and Arkansas, as originally fixed, was
the Mississippi river. By this meant
the thread Of that stream. The river
which forms this boundary through
an alluvial and is marked BY a most
tortuous course. Long bonds, ten
and even twenty miles around and
only two or three miles across, ara
frequent, and in times past, when the
annual floods would come, the river
would ruch across these narrow necks
with such force and volume that II
would in many instances cut through
the soft alluvial soil and thus estab-
lish a new ana shorter channel, and
leave the long, narrow bends cut of
from their original jurisdiction.
The old channel around the bend,
thus abandoned, first becomes a LAKE,
but it son filled by the deposits of
silt which is precipated as son as it
reaches this still water, and in ihe
course of very few years what was
at first an island becomes a part OF
the mainland, and by this process
numerous areas have become entirely
separated from their original states
and attached to the opposite shore.
An illustration is presented al
Nicksburg. The river formerly ran in
front of this historic city. In 1876
one of these cut-offs occurred by the
river breaking through the narrow
neck just below the city and leaving
what was at the time called Gen.
tenial Lake." that being the hundredtf
anniversary of our American Indepen-
dence. Within few years the lake
along the city front filled up, and nov
g perfect wilderness stands high anc
dry where the gunboats floated or
went down in so feet of water in 1853
There are many of these cut-offs
the effect of which have been to sepa-
rate from their original jurisdictions
numerous small tracts-and some moi
SO small-until it has come TO pass
that the Mississippi river does not al
ways mark the bounda Y line between
these states. The inconvenience and
undcrsiiabllltN OF haTlng these cut or
areas far away from the acrutiny Of
their own peace officers and attached
physically but not jurisdictionally to
the other state, is apparent
This resolution gives the consent of
the Congress, and simply enables
these states to restore the ancient
boundary-the mississippi river-by
mutually ceding these areas which
have ben cut off as above set forth
and to permit them 10 make sucl
agreement or compact as may be ncc
eSSaIy to enable them to eNerciss
concurrent jurisdiction over offense,
on this boundary stream.

boarding house here. She is
gentle woman and christian woman,
and she is not to blame for condi-
tions that exist. Her house is
above the average boarding house.
She cannot help things being as they
are. Here is how they are: She
has between thirty and forty rooms.
These rooms are occupied by boys
and girls, young men and young
women, not one of whom have
chaperone or any one to advise them
or warn them or discipline them.
They are here working in the apart
ments. They come and go, night
and day, when and where they please.
Girls, in order to save money and
make ends meet, double up and
room with girls they never saw or
heard of before. In the general re-
ception room, these girls who never
saw each other before, introduce
each other to men they never saw
before; and, as young people will
and as, under normal conditions
they should do-they go out to-
gether. And these unchaperoned
young people, strangers to each
other, away from home environments
and home restraints, 20 where they

come in when they please, and no

the day, has been asleep hours ago.

them to come here, without prepar-
ing a place for those at least who
want TO stay right"
If girl comes here thinking she
has a place to stay, she may be mis-
taken. The room assigned her may
be dark or cold OF damp; her room
mate may be impossible Then
where will she go? To one Of these
boarding houses; TO shift for herself
and be preyed upon. And what does
