Industrial Commissioner J. C. Clare of the Illinois Central railroad has eluded a deal with Gov. Vardainan whereby that road becomes the owner of the best part of th& Mississippi hibit at the late St. Louis Fair. This exhibit will be seen at the Industrial Exposition to be held at Jackson in November. Manager McKay has signed to the Illinois Central road all of Representatives’ Hall in the old Capitol in which to make their display, which is expected to be one of the hand­somest ever seen in the State.

The report of Sergeant Dodds of the penitentiary for the month of July shows forty new convicts received dur­ing the month, as compared with six­teen received for the same period last year.

About fifty families from Illinois to be located in the neighborhood of Durant and will embark in the vege­table and fruit industry. These fami- ies have been induced to locate there

through Capt. J. F. Merry, General Immigration Agent of the Illinois Cen­tral Railroad. They are Italians from the northern part of Italy who have been in this country for some time, and it is stated that each family is to have about forty acres of land.

Vice-President C. L.

The Lewis J. Parker Stave Company has closed a deal for 1,870 acres of land near Senatobia. Five hundred acres of the land is in cultivation, and that part alone brings an annual rental of $2,100.

in the Japanese Capital.

Chicago, July 31.—-A broken axle of the wheel of the smoking car caused the wrecking of the California special on the Athison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad at Lemont, when one man was killed „outright, four persons fatally injured and a score of other passengers received severe injuries. The identity of the man killed is still in doubt, but he is supposed to be John Crugiere Italian laborer of Sunnyside, Utah.

The fatally injured are:Wm. MacVeagh, Joliet, 111., right arm

crushed and later amputated; right side and leg crushed.

L. Moody, Cleveland, Okla., skull fractured.

Ancrotti Grobanni. Italian, badly crushed and burned by fire that was started in coach by the wreck.

New York, July 29.—Mr. Sato, of the Japanese peace commission, com­menting upon the reception to Secretary Taft in Tokio, said he had read the re­ports with deep interest. The fact that the historic Chrysanthemum gardens had been thrown open to the secretary, Mr. Sato said, was indicative of the feeling toward Americans in Japan.

“These gardens are almost sacred in our country,” said Mr. Sato, “and this is the first time they have been opened to a foreign citizen. It is a marked distinction and honor. They are opened for our own people but twice a year.”

“In the spring'of 1896 my wife was taken with violent vomiting which wo had great difficulty in stopping.

“It seemed to came from coffee drink­ing, but we could not decide.

“In the following July, however, she was attacked a second time by the vomiting. I was away from home filling an appointment at the time, and on my return I found her very low; she had literally vomited herself al­most to death, and it took som4 days to quiet the trouble and restore her stomaclL

“I had also experienced the same trouble, but not so violently, and had relieved it, each time, by a resort to medicine.

“But my wife’s second attack satis­fied me that the use of coffee was at the bottom of our troubles, and so we stopped it forthwith and took on Postum Food Coffee. The old symp­toms of disease disappeared, and dur­ing the 9 years that we have been using Postum instead of coffee wo have never had a recurrence of the vomiting. We never weary of Pcs- turn, to which we know we owe our good health. This is a simple state­ment of tacts.” Name given by Pos­tum Company, Battle Creek, Mich,

The continental congress commissioned him commo­dore, Washington formally and offi­cially addressed him as admiral. His commission dated from December 22,1775, enough to make him the father of the navy. Paul Jones was named as the senior first liuetenant in the fleet under the command of Commo­dore Hopkins.
