Mrs. Conkling and daughter both bore
mp brayely, bat the wife was the most
FRUSTRATED. Mrs. Cakman supported her
mother. The ashen palior deepened upon
the emanciated face. Mr.. Conkling
gasped three or four times and passed
away, In death the lines about the
mouth and face were slightly drawn. He
was much emAciated but still in death
The face seemed natural.
Immediately after death Judge Coke
and DR.. Anderson left the house.
Judge l1axe said that in death Cenk-
Iing's mouth was slightly open as though
he had died with a gasp.
Mrs. Conklipg and Mrs. OAkman were
kneeling at the bedside of Conkling
when he died. Mrs, Conkling had her
hand clasped in his. Mrs. Oonkling left
the room when the face OF the dead sem
ator Was covered and went into her own
room and fell exhausted on q lounge.

Hon. J. H. Jones, of Wilkinson,
than whom no better man occupied
a seat in the last Legislature, IN
letter to the Woodville Republican,
has this to say concerning the con-
stitutional amendments and the
lobby:
"Our House passed the resolu-
tion submitting a constitutional
amendment limiting the Governor
to one term, but refused to submit
the all-important question Of an
elective Judiciary. This was mere
sop to Cerberus, and was designed
to do away with the main objection
to the present appointing system,
and to perpetuate it. A majority
of the sO-called Representatives of
the people here, seem determined
that their constituents snail not be
permitted to say whether or not
they desire a Constitutional Con-
vention, nor to pass Judgment on
some Of the most obnoxious feat
Hres of the present Constitution.
In my judgment it has become
necessary for the people in their
nominating conventions to bind
their Representatives with positive
instructions on all important gen.
eral measures. One must come
here to appreciate the power of the
"Third House." and its influence
upon Legislation. Members are
not bought with money; they are
too upright for that; but weak men
are won by spscious arguments, by
hattery and Establishments, and
the simple souls are unconscious of
the fact that they are being voted
by lobby"
