Gus careworn expression. The
proposed insurance legislation
has brought the insurance agents
here to plead for mercy sena-
tor Young's bill that aims to re-
duce the rate of travel on all
railroads to three cents per mile
mas kicked up commotion among
railroad men. The bill that
favored a man making preferred
creditors when he assigned has
attracted many prominent men
to the capitol, among them being
Hon. John L. Ruhl. They are
all opposed to preferred credi-
tors.
1t now looks as though Bridge
port would soon have her Inde-
pendent school district bill put
through. 1t has passed the
House and has been reported to
pass in the Senate. There is
also a bill in the Senate making
some changes in the Sheets In
dependent district in Harrison
county.
The law regulating the ex-
animation OF physicians has also
been a subject that ranked among
the important matters. Itpro.
posed to admit no physician to
practice in West Virginia unless
he first passed an examination
before the board of health.
II
1t is apparent that a few
changes in school text books
Will be made. Montgomery's U.
s. History, Maservy's Book
keeping, and Dole's American
citizen Will probably be adopted.
Aserious objection was made to
Dole's book because it contained,
some free trade IDEAS. Senator
Reed, Of the Senate Educational
Committee called on the repre-
sentative of the book and obtain.
ed an agreement that partisan
matters should be omitted and
that the constitution of the State
should be printed in the book.
It is a most excellent work for
the common schools and the big
fight that was made on it on ac-
count of the political matter has
quieted down.
If
In the House of Delegates the
report of the committee on the
school book question raised a
lively breeze. A great fight was
made by the friends of Harvey's
grammar for its retention in the
schools and after a stormy de-
bate, decided that Hsrvey's
grammar should be adopted.
The Senate committee has also
recommended Harvey. McGut-
fey's speller and the First, Sec
ond, Third and Fourth readers
are recommended at greatly re-
duced prices. Rays Arithmetic's
are recommended but the Prima.
ry book is leftout.

The proposition TO reduce the
rate of taxation for general State
purposes from 25 to 90 cents on
the 500, and at the same time
increase the school tax from 10
to Is cents on the 800, was de:
feated by a small margin. If it
Is possible for the Legislature to
reduce the taxes for general pur.
poses it ought TO be done; but
the people will not appreciate a
reduction on one line and cores
bonding increase on something
else. The hard times through
which we are passing certainly
calls upon the peoples repre-.
sentatives in the Legislature tc
reduce taxation wherever posi-
Ole but does not demand thai
they look for,some place to make
an increase corresponding to the
decrease.

Downfall of a Prominent Englishman in
Bakersfield
Saved From Wedding Variety Actress by His
Friends and Locked Up for
Insanity

BAKERSFIELD, April 23.--Lord Sholto
c. Douglass son of the Marquis of Queens
bury, was arrested this evening charged
with insanity. He is fine-looSing young
man, about 20 years of age. and has been
here several months, having charge of
forty acres of land belonging to the
MaIchioness. and since his arrival here,
up to about month ago. has been an ex-
emplary young man.
short time ago he commenced visit
ing Bakersfield ana became infatuated
with variety girl, and it is said became
engaged to her. This morning lie went
to the clerk office and obtained license
to marry her. His friends heard of it and
had him arrested for insanity. He saws
this is most extraordinary country. He
was drinking and gambling last night
and lost considerable money and gave
checks which cannot be honored. He has
employed counsel to obtain liberty. He
will probably be released tomorrow.
Lord Douglas has been spending much
of his time during the past week among
the half world of Bakersfield. Last
night he gAmbled in one of the local
variety theaters and lost $3.50 He is IN
fatuated with a young song and lance
artistic named Adds and several times
during the past week has proposed mar
riage. He spent about $50 on wine and
gave her Marquise ring as present.
This morning he applied for marriage
license and took it to her. She told
him she would have to wait until she be-
came of age which will be in a few
months.
When interviewed this afternoon Miss
Adds declared she did not love the lord
and what is more, did not consider
marriage into his family at all an honor
to her. If she married him at all il
would be because he wanted her to and
that she might escape the life she is now
living. Miss Adds true name is SUP.
posed to be Mooney. She recently came
here from convent IN San Francisco
and was placed in the dive business by
her mother who recently ran the Brewery
theater. A week ago the iheater was
closed and Miss Adds went to the Biiou
where she now is. She is pretty Irish
girl apparently Is years old, about five feet
high. has light blue ewes, dark brown
hair and an innocent face. She would
never be taken for a variety woman and
it is an open secret here that she disikes
the life and only remains in it because
she is forced to. Lord Douglas was lust
going to bed after his night of gaming
and love when arrested. He said it was
most remarkable proceeding 60 arrest
man for lunacy on the complaint of
one man." He is at resent confin ed in
the insane ward of the county Jail and
must be examined before being released.
He was greatly excited today. but refused
to talk of last nights experience to re-
porters. The same friends who stopped
his romance by causing his arrest. also
stopped the payment on over 5000 worth
of checks, SO the lords losses are really
only 500,

BEFORE THE WHITE WALL
The Execution of Two Famous Mexican
Bandits
Hope Helped the Condemned Men Out Until
the Last Minute, but No Re-

GUADALAJARA, Jalisco, Mexico,
April %. The execution by shooting of
the famous Jaliscan bandits. Felciano
Mariaves and Maurico Riversa, early yes
terday morning attracted wide attention.
Hope OF reprieve by President Diaz was
held by the lawyers and friends OF the
condemned men until the night before
the execution, when, the time of limita-
ton having expired, the prisoners were
ordered to prepare for death at sunrise.
They spent most of the night either in
praying to the images in the prison
chapel, to which they were allowed ac-
cess, or in pacing back and forth in their
quarters. At 4: 80 several priests arrived
and took their confessions, remaining
with them until the end.
AT O'Clock Sub-Lieutenant Jose Nan
carte arrived at the prison with an escort
of twenty gen d'armes from the Jalisco
state forces and the priest led out with
the prisoners. who uffectionately EN-.
bracel their spiritual comforte.s. On TAX

were placed in a kneeling position on the
north side OF the prison, and at the word
of command were pierced with bullets
from the double file of police, who fired in

ONLY A PASSIVE RESISTANCE

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Nicara-
from his government announcing the ar
rival at Corinto of two British warships
with the express purpose of enforcing the
demands contained in the British ulti-
matum. Just how this it to be done the
minister was not informed.
The indications now are Nicaragua will
offer passive resistance to the British de-
mands for some time at least, and mean
while the United States will do nothing
but await the developments Of events,
unless the British take some
action that affects our interests,
such as interfering with our
Shipping or other interests of American
citizens. This attitude is assumed in the
full confidence no attempt will be made
by the British to secure any Nicaragu an
territory, no matter what course she may
be obliged to pursue to accomplish her
purpose of collecting the smart money"
demanded for the expulsion of ViceCon
sui Hatch. There is reason to believe not
only the Nicaragua affair. but the whole
subject OF the extent of protection to
be extended by the United States to the
sister republics of Central and So nth
America has been very earnestly and de-
liberately discussed by the president with
his full cabinet, and that the attitude as
assumed in the case of Nicara ua may
be'taken as an indication of the line of
policy to be adopted for the treatment of
all questions arising between the
European powers and those republics.
having such basis as the present Mica
raglan incident.
LONDON. April 23.-The Chronicle says
the dispatch of British men-of war to
Corinto shows that the Nicaraguan affair
is approaching climax. Nicaragua, it
adds, obviously relies upon American
sympathy. but surely if America takes
these small communities under her wing
she must see that they maintain interna-
tional observanccs. The Monroe doctrine
is proper enough in it's way, but it will
hardly prevent European power which
is too DESTROYS of territorial aggrandizc-
ment from exacting reparation for in
suit and outrage.
