The Tupelo Journal PUBLISHED WEEKLY. TUPELO, i : t MISSISSIPPI. Wheat matures in Canada in from SO to 100 days. Yate wood of Australia has the ten sile strength of good cast iron. John Burns is said to have the best working library of any member of the English house of parliament. A member of the Vanderbilt familr has married an American. It must mortify her people dreadfully. The American poet who rhymes “al ways" and "hallways" in one of the current magazines is running Alfred Austin hard. The mosquitoes are going to have a joyous time in Chicago this summer, with 1,000 women pledged already to wear sandals. It is easy to understand why men's straw hats have such narrow brims this season. The Merry Widows used up all the straw. Belgium is now importing yearly about $1,500,000 worth of automobiles, motor-cycles and bicycles. These im ports have quadrupled in four years. There are now not far from 60.000 miles of railroad under block signal operation, nearly 10,000 miles of which has been added within a year and a half.

In Pittsburg a Salvation Army offi cer stood in a coffin and delivered a sermon. Pittsburg lovers of the grew some therefore were not obliged to buy a ticket to Laporte. “Rita,” the English novelist, recov ered damages because an editor changed and cut a serial story that she had sold him, but that won’t help the daily newspaper spacewriter a bit. Some of the college students are beginning to realize that if they had not taken such a lively interest in football last fall the final examina tions wouldn’t have proved so serious. An English explorer declares that the north pole is shifting its ground. Perhaps it finds itself hardly pressed by modern expedition and enterprise, and fhis is the way it is escaping dis covery. The Philadelphia doctor who de clared recently that the buttercup was the cause of measles, and now rises again to remark that it is also respon sible for cancer, obviously has no poetry in his soul. Here are some interesting figures given by the New York Herald for users of gas meters: In three months out of 2,805 meters tested, after com plaint, 524 were correct, 1,820 were fast and 661 were slow. A minister in New' Jersey is telling wives not to boss their husbands, which shows how even in this en lightened age some men will go blind ly up against the most primitive in stincts of the eternal feminine. Tn f Vi i o onnnfrir ♦ Vi zi Hnoth veto Q m one the miners is 3.4 to every thousand employed. In Belgium in 1906, the number was 0.94, in Great Britain it was 1.29, in France it was .84 in 1905, and in Prussia it was 1.8 in 1904. Certainly, there are plenty of auto mobilists who run carefully and re spect public rights. But that does not make it any the less painful for the man who is knocked down and killed by one of the reckless percent age. “My observation tells me,” says George Meredith, “that the minor work of the present day is altogether superior to that of the mid-Victorian time—and before it.” But how about the masterpieces? asks the Boston Globe. What is England coming to? In Sunderland there are families living on boiled potato parings, and of the total number of 72,127 deaths regis tered in London last year 28,723 took place in workhouses, hospitals or pub lic lunatic asylums. A scientific expedition is to start from Massachusetts to seek for fos sils in the Antarctic circle. This is a long and toilsome way to go, consider ing how many fossils can be found Ilcai Cl-uiuv-u tw “'-aiv.j iiuuiv, 1x3 marks the Baltimore American. A Chicago physician is now in the limelight lecturing about the absurdity of the feminine costume. This sort of thing apparently gives the men a cer tain amount of amusement and neither inconveniences nor discontents wom ankind in general. Therefore, no one really objects to what is a harmless pleasure. A men’s church has been estab lished in Atlantic City, which, it is hoped, will be made popular both through its positive and negative qual ities. The positive virtues are pipes, cigars and moving pictures through the sermon. The negative virtues are the absence of “Merry Widow” hats and general feminine frivolity. The idea of the enterprising mind which started these unique services, sug gests the Baltimore American, is that evidently it is far better that men should smoke here than when they reach the hereafter. The receiver of a broken Kansas bank who wound up its business in three months, paid the depositors in full, returned to the stockholders most of what they had put in, and charged only $250 for his services and ex penses, evidently has no head for business. Three women claim to have been wives of a Boston millionaire, now dead. Strange, is it not, how many of our rich Americans have succeeded in accumulating widows whose affec tion concentrates around the estate? William Jennings Bryan and his principles were heartily indorsed by the Democratic state convention held at Jackson, uud the resolutions adopted were in line with the platform of the commoner. The delegates named to attend the national Democratic conven tion at Denver were instructed to cast their votes as a unit for the Nebraskan. Senator A. J. McLaurin. Senator-elect John Sharp Williams, Gov. E. F. Noel, ex-Gov. James K. Vardamau, ex-Gov. Robert Lowry and ex-Gov. A. H. Lon gino were named as delegates-at-large to the national convention. Col. Sam Montgomery of Greenville, for several years a prominent figure in the Mississippi national guard, and who was an officer in the United States army during the Spanish-American war, has suggested that the students of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege of Mississippi take in hand the matter of erecting a monument on the campus of the college to the late Gen. Stephen D. Lee. Gen. Lee was the lirst president of the college, and started this great institution on its road to success. It is quite a novel situation that con fronts State Treasurer Edwards, and that is a large amount of money, in coin and specie packages, which, while luu properly 01 uie suue, ne is uuauie to identify as to locality or county from which sent. Mr. Edwards states that there is considerable that he has re ceived that has no mark whatever by which it can be traced, and he is unable to give proper credit. The summer school at the University of Mississippi opened under the most flattering auspices. Chancellor Kin cannon made the address of welcome, in which he outlined forcibly the pur poses of the school, offered all the privileges of the university to the stu dent-teachers and others interested in regular university work, and urged all to co-operate for the greatest good. The Mississippi division of the Farm ers’ Educational and Co-operative Union has entered into a satisfactory arrange ment with one of the largest concerns engaged in the manufacture of cotton fabrics, for the delivery of sufficient low-grade cotton to furnish more bag ging than the Mississippi farmers can use. The material will be on delivery in ample time to cover the 1908 crop. Many citizens of Tishomingo county are out in a petition to Gov. Noel to grant a pardon to a convict from that county by the name of Marion Nagles, who is serving a term in the peniten tiary for manslaughter. One of the grounds upou which clemency is be sought for Nagles is that he is a relig iousfanatic, and has been mentally un sound, though he is now considered harmless. The town of Goodman, in Holmes county, has been added to the list of those in the state who are actively working for the establishment of an agricultural high school, as authorized by an act passed at the recent session of the legislature. The citizens are said to be very enthusiastic over the idea. Miss Ina Applewhite, who enjoys the distinction of being the only feminine attache of the military department of the state government, was in charge of the adjutant general’s department dur ing the absence of Gen. Fridge in Washington. C. C. Miller, one of the most promi nent attorneys in Mississippi, was found dead in bed at Meridian, having passed away quietly from heart failure. The commission of the James creek drainage system has let the contract for engineering the same. This canal will, when completed, redeem over 50,000 acres in one of the finest bodies of land in the prairie belt. The land is all open, and is now in cultivation, but as surance from overflow will increase its value from $30 to $100 per acre. The canal will be completed before Feb. 1. Pursuant to a decree of court the Natchez Light and Traction company, consisting of the electric street railway, electric light and gas plants, was sold for $5,000 above the liabilities of the company. The property is assessed at $125,000 on a 50 per cent, valuation. Lightning struck the sawmill of the Ellis Lumber company, eighteen miles from Hattiesburg, and set the plant on fire, resulting in its destruction. The loss is about 850,000. Five hundred men were employed at the mill. “New Bethany,” the Cumberland Presbyterian church situated nine miles northeast of Nettleton, was de stroyed by fire. It is supposed that some one applied the torch. Tom King, Jr., almost instantly killed Joseph Wherry at Durant. The trouble was precipitated over the loan of a dollar. Wherry was a man about 50 years of age aud is survived by a wife aud five children. King is a sin gle man about 25 years old. King es caped and is still at large. The union tent meeting held at New Albany by Rev. W. W. Orr closed with 162 conversions. During the two weeks services the tent was filled and on the outer circle the people were seated fifteen deep. After a careful consideration of the subject of free county service by tele phone companies doing business in the state, the railroad commission, by unan imous vote, decided to dismiss the case from the docket._ A number of plantation owners iD Adams county have sent a petition to Gov. Noel, asking that he memorialize the federal government to provide ra tions for six weeks for the tenants and laborers on 12,000 acres of lowlands that have been submerged for ninety days.

A telephone message from the home says that everything had been arranged to trap the three men, who were Black Hand plotters, by the father of the young man, who was asked to pay them a large sum. All the bodies have been removed to the city morgue. Flood Damage at St. Louis.

Miss Grace Davidson, the girl over whom the killing occurred, cannot be found by the subpoena servers. She left her home last Tuesday night and friends of the family do not know her whereabouts. At the residence, rela tives shake their heads and say she is not at home. Neosho will attend the trial in a body. The shooting of Ramsour, and now the mysterious disappearaance of the girl, has set the little southwest Missouri town agog. The courtroom was crowded Monday morning when the selection of a jury was begun.

FLOOD AT ITS CREST $400,000 WATER DAMAGE AROUND ALTON, ILL, DECLINE HAS BEEN PREDICTED Over Five Thousand Acres Inundated On East Side of Mississippi— More Dams Break. St. Louis, Mo.—The high water at St. Louis is now at its crest with a stage of 34.8 feet, according to the official forecast of the weather bureau Friday. In the last 24 hours there was a rise of three-tenths of a foot. Above St. Louis the river will fall slowly, the prediction says, but there will be a further rise between St. Louis and Chester. At Alton there was no rise in the last 24 hours. The Missouri at St. Charles rose two inches. Comparison With 1903 Flood. While the extent of the present flood in the Mississippi river does not com pare with the flood of 1903 around Alton, a careful estimate of the dam age done by the waters is almost as great. Those who are best informed as to the situation there say the damage to crops, farm lands, houses, boat prop erties, etc., will amount, this year, to $331,000. In 1903 the damage was estimated at $350,000, with a higher stage of water by 5 feet. This is be cause the farmers in 1903 had not planted so extensively as in 1908. The year before they had a flood which, while it was not so extensive as that of the following year, frightened them. Thprp was nn wnrninp' nf n nnsKlhl** rise this spring given by the river last year. At 8 o'clock Thursday night the Henry Wageman levee on the Mis souri shore, opposite Alton, broke.

TWO OTHER CANDIDATES Fairbanks Gets One Vote and Gov. Sheldon Ten—Senator Warner Heads Committee to Notify Taft of Nomination. Convention Hall, Chicago—Congress man James S. Sherman of Utica, N. Y., was nominated for vice-president on the first ballot by the Republican national convention Friday as running mate for William H. Taft. He got 81G of the 980 votes of the conven tion. The other candidates presented were Gov. Curtis Guild of Massachu setss and former Gov. Murphy of New Jersey. The convention then adjourned. The official vote was: Sherman, 81G; Murphy, 77; Guild, 75; Fairbanks, 1; Gov. Sheldon, 10; absent, 1. The nomination was made unani mous on motion of Senator Crane of Massachusetts. Sheldon's name was not formally presented to the convention. Taft Men Fought Him. The nomination of Sherman was as Slirfnl whpn tht» pnnvpminn mot hut it was only after a struggle all night and morning to present it by the Taft forces, to whom Sherman was not ac ceptable. All night long Manager Hitchcock was in conference with the White House, trying to agree on a candidate to oppose Sherman. The suggestion of Gov. Cummins met insurmountable opposition. An attempt was made to induce Gov. Hughes to run, but he refused. Efforts to get Senator Dolliver into the race were also futile. There was talk for a few hours of getting all the favorite sons into the roll, thus taking from Sherman's strength until some other arrange ment could be patched up. Decided to Surrender. A recapitiulation by the Taft man agers showed that even this expedient would be doubtful. Then the Taft managers decided to surrender, and gave their followers the tip to get into the Sherman band wagon. The tip did not come until the opening of the convention, but all the favorites ex cept Guild and Murphy gave up. Judson Lyon, negro national com mitteeman from Georgia, had the dis tinction of moving the sine die ad journment of the convention. The adjournment carried at 11:46 a. m. Sketch of Sherman. James Schoolcraft Sherman was born in Utica, N. Y., October 24. 1855. He received an academic and college education, graduating from Hamilton college in the class of '78. In 1880 he was admitted to the bar, becoming a member of the firm of Coekenham & Sherman. In March, 1884, he was elected mayor of Utica, then a Demo cratic city, with a substantial major ity of votes. In 1895 he was chosen temporary chairman to preside over the deliberations of the 'Republican convention at Saratoga. Sherman is an orator of no mean ability, and during his political career has been chosen upon many state and historic occasions to deliver addresses. In this manner he enhanced his pop ularity to the point where he thought he could venture to enter the congres sional race. He was elected to the Fiftieth, Fif ty-first and Fifty-second congresses and re-elected to the Fifty-fourth con gress. receiving 22,510 votes against 1G.2G9 votes for John D. Henderson, the Democratic candidate. The two other tickets in the field drew 1,000 votes for W. F. Curtis, the Prohibition candidate. He was again elected to the Fifty-fifth, Fifty-sixth, Fifty-sev enth, Fifty-eighth, Fifty-ninth and Six tieth congresses. Head of a Trust Company. Sherman is head of the Utica Trust Co. and president of the New Hart ford Canning Co. A few years ago there was a combination of all the ice companies of Utica under one head, and the pool interests was headed by Mr. Sherman. In addition to those en terprises he is a member of the di rectorate of a half dozen banks and trust companies, and is rated as the richest man in Utica. It has long been said that Sherman __ _„ _ e ii, . a.__ *•' n a o uuv, luv. uuvv.u ucui viiuuui ui Senator Platt and he has been through many hard fought political battles, in all of which he showed his skill as a politician.

Scarcity of work is the cause given. YOU’RE TOO THIN. Even Slight Catarrhal Derangements of the Stomach Produce Acid Fer mentation of the Food. Ifs Stomach Catarrh Some people aro thin and always re main thin, from temperamental rea sons. Probably in such cases nothing can bo done to change this personal peculiarity. t Hut there are a large number of peo ple who get tnin, or remain thin, who naturally would be plump and fleshy but for some digestive derangement. Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. Fat is derived from the oily constit uents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in the stomach at all. They are digested in the duodenum, the division of the ali mentary canal just below the stomach. The digestion of fat is mainly, if not wholly, the work of the pancreatic juice. This juice is of alkaline reac tion, and is rendered inert by the addi tion of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of the stomach passing down into the duodenum, destroys the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur poses. Therefore, the fats are not di gested or emulsified, and the system is deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin. The beginning of the troublo is a ca tarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach. When the food is taken into the stom ach, if the process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermenta tion will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach juices which in their turn prevent the pan creatic digestion of the oils, and the emaciation results. A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach, and the pancreatic juiceis thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eat a sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plump ness takes its place.
