AS the News sees It, it would be
the shecrest folly to psss Law for
bidding gold contracts in Mississippi
This free silver hurrah is all right in
a political meeting and on the stump

but 1t has no place on the statute

to stop this foolishnsss. The Ma
tlonal Democracy will never declare

What splendid bit Of advice, yet
the body TO whom it was given ig-
nored it. We concur with the News
in it's prediction that the national
democracy will never declare for
free silver, nor do we believe will
any other state follow 10 the footsteps
Of Mississippi she will then be alone
with an unnatural money system
which will prove derogatory to her

Traced By LImburger Cheese

Chicago, March 11-Limburger
cheese in an inside pocket proved
Frank Jessnoth's nemesis yester-
day afternoon, and he is now
locked up at the Sheffield avenue
station, sorry that he did not let
the delicacy go its own way.
Jessnoth, wood peddler, went
to residence at Ravenswood
Park and, as he passed the rear
door, he noticed an ice box. With
the viands in it's depths was a
brick of limburger and his epicu-
rean taste impelled him to take it
with him. Two blocks away Jess
moth met Police Officers Stiff and
Shehan, and the former detected
a familiar odor. "Shehan," he
said to his partner, ''that fellow
has limburger with him."
The officers stopped Jessnoth

Gold in an Old Jar.

Fort Valley, Ca, March 12.-
Eighteen thousand dollars in gold
and silver have been unhearthed
by a farmer in his field six miles
from here. Young Green Hart
ley, who lives on the plantation
of Ed Houser, was blowing IN the
field where there was large rock
in the way Of the plow. He and
two other men moved the rock so
as TO let the plow pass. After
moving the rock Hartley saw
something that looked like the
edge of stone jar and upon open
ing it discovered that it contained
gold, silver and greenbacks. The
money was counted and found to
be $4,000 in gold and silver the
greenbacks being so badly dcay-
cd that it was impossible to count
them. Hartley was told by some
one that half of the money be-
longed to the government, and
not knowing to the contrary he
took it to Perry and deposited it
with the county treasurer, where
it now is. 1t is thought here that
Hartley will not get the money,
as it will be claimed by other par
ties who owned tho land years ago.

San Franisco, Cal, March 13--
John l.. Sullivan and Parson Da-
vies are preparing to head move
ment to place pugilism on pay
ing basis again. Sullivan believes
sporting men should organize and
refuse 10 cast their ballots for le-
gislators or congressman who
could not agree to let prize fight
ers go unmolested.
"Over in England last year the
sporting league beat 113 candi-
dates for parliament because
their views on sporting did not
satisfy the league, said Sullivan.
"We.want to ask candidates for
the legislature or for congress or
for the senate what they think of
boxing, horse racing or any kind
of sport, and if their views coin
eide with ours we will vote for
them, but if they don't we'il
beat them. People have got bad
view of boxing. If a horse or
jockey gets killed the race goes on
Just the same, but if two box and
one gets killed, a lot of ministers
get up and call it an outrage.
That amt fair. Boxing amt
brutal and we're gcing to try and
show that it is just as legitimate
as any other sporting proclivity.
If man wants to go to fight he's
got a right to.
1--WE want to educate and tone
up the people to understand box
ing. OF course, If a man don't
want TO see boxing he don't have
to; but he's got no business with
those who do. Take a minister.

Drank His Dying wMe,s Blood.

Mifflington, Pa, March 49,
This town and neighborhood are
excited over a butchery that has
taken place at East Waterford.
Chas. b. Ramsay, a we'll educated
and prosperous farmer, on Sun
day evening, killed his wife while
in frenzy, induced by religious
fervor. He beat out her brains
scalded her with hot water from
a tea kettle and dragged her
about by the hair. He claimed
that he drank her blood, as that
of "human sacrifice" an asser-
tion which seemed to be corrobo-
rated by the presence of frozen
blood on his lips when found.
1t was brought out before the
acting coroner that on Sunday
night two men heard the women
scream and beg of her husband
to desist, but in the darkness and
solitude they where afraid to force
an entrance and rescue her. Af-
ter having committed the crime
the murderer sought refuge from
the cold in a neighbor's house and
admitted that his wife was dead,
but no effort was made to detain
or follow him. Consequently the
body of the murdered woman lay
all night on the kitchen floor and
the murderer spent the night in
the barn, where he was found the
next day.
Since his incarceration he has
been almost continually singing,
bowling and talking in a loud
tone of voice. Although hand
cuffed, he endeavored to burn his
hands By pattins than into the
fire, and then tried to upset the
stove. AT night he is fastened to
u chain attached to ring in the

INSURANCE.

The Legislature has as yet failed
to devote any of its time to the in
surance question which is badly in
need of legislation. II is almost toe
late now to handle IL with the pre-
ponderance which IL necessitates.
The insurance bill should have num-
bered among the foremost bills for
early consideration, and thereby at
tempt to reduce the extreme high
rate of interest which people have to
pay. High interest on insurance IS
equal to high taxation, and the one
potent factor to keep people away
from community is high taxation.
However, we will draw consolation
from the old adagc, all things come
70 him who waits, hoping that the
next Legislature will attend to the
needs of the people instead Of airing
childish fancies.
In the meantime the people must
continue TO be ovcrridden W insur-
ance comr:Sies.

STATE LEGISLATURE.
A NEW CAPITOL ASSURED
AT LAST.
pTcENT MEASURES PASSED BY
THAT BODY--BILLS APPROVED
BY THE GOVERNOR.


The house Thursday morning
passed, by good majority, the
Dees bill, providing for the issu-
ance of $3.50, 1000 bonds, on the
condition that the United States
appropriate 100000, both sums
to he nsad in bnildino wharf
from some point on the mainland
to not less than 20 feet Of water
in harbor on our coast. The
location is to be determined by
engineers of the United States.
after full investigation of ali
competing points,. The bill also
provides for dredging out the
harbor and the passes thereto to
a depth of rs feet of water, and
to connect the said wharf by
of railroads to the L. and
n. railroad and the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad, or other railroads
that will pass up through the
state on o line half way between
the Mobile and Ohio and the Il
linois Central roads.
1t is believed this bill will be-
come a law, and if it does:it will
mark new era in the progress of
Mississippi.

a NEW CAPITOL.

A new capitol is assured US.
$3.50, 900 has been appropriated to
erect 1t. The Echo was in hopes
that the Legislature would decide TO
build a 81, 900, 900 one while it had
the question under consideration, as
a capitol IS not built every day, and
as the state is In pretty fair circnn-
stances we believe the Legislature
would have been jusliliable IN max
ing the latter appropriation.
However, we should rejoice for
what we have been given, as the
present structure has long been u
crying shame to our state.
