Undertakers and funeral Directors
Razors In the Air.

Price Griffin, the negro porter at the
Mo. Pacific depot, came very near
beco ming victim of the razor habit
Saturday morning. On entering a car
in the rear Of the depot that morning he
found it occupied by five specimens of
the genus hobo, who he informed that
they must leave or he would be com
PEELED to report the fact to the agent.
They demurred at being ordered out by
a negro and followed him into the
freight room, where one them began
slashing at the negro with razor and
slightly cut his face. Things were get
ting quite interesting for Griffin when
Officers Houck and Lockhart appeared
on the scene and took them in tow.
Mayor Smith assessed the usual fine for
fighting againt them and they went to
the rock pile. Griffin is considered
quite a well behaved darky, and the
assault was unprovoked as he had
orders to eject anyone who had no
business in the cars, and he was only
carrying out instructions.
Two of the five tramps, Joe Martin
and Jas. Allen. were Monday turned
over to the state authorities charged
with assault with intent to kill.

Tunnel all Right,

From the TT. Smith Times Democrat March II.
The first train to pass through the
tunnel through the Boston mountains
since Sunday morning came through
about o clock yesterday afternoon. 1t
was the seuthbound cannonball, Con
ductor John S. Farrow, Familiarity
known az Jack, in charge.
THE tunnel is all right and every
thing is in good shape, said the jolly
ticket puncher in reply to the reporter S
query as to the condition of the tunnel
The cave in was greatly exaggerated.
There was fall of rock and earth Sun
day and another one Monday morning
but 700 feet fall of roof did not happen
The conductor of the Pullman attached
to the cannonball, which went south
Monday night, told the reporter of the
700 foot fall, and all the trainmen anG
employees of the depot were under the
impression that the report was true.
Both cave ins were at the same spot
The section of the roof which fell il
was only about IA feet wide. The
debris was all cleared away so tha
trains could have passed through Mon
day night, but the roof was supported
only by temporary timbers, and it wa'
not thought advisable to attempt tt
make the run until everything was
ship shape. Trains will run regularl,
from now on.

What the Trusts Sugar Tax Would
Mean.

From the New York World.
The new tax Of cent and five Fights
a pound which it is proposed to levy on
sugar for revenue is certainly high. 1t
will amount to s.. Is year on the
average family, at the average rate of
consumption as shown by the treasury
statistics. Such tax on single
article of necessary consumption is very
heavy and is likely to reduce con-
sumption.
Still If such taxes are needed for
revenue the people are willing to pay
them. To relieve the treasury and
stop bond deals they would pay three
cents a pound on sugar If demanded foi
revenue.
They are not willing, however, to
pay cent for tribute to lawless
monopoly.
In addition to this very high revenue
duty the sugar trust now has its lobby
in Washington demanding an additional
differential' duty Of one eigth of q
cent a pound for monopoly only. II
this tax is levied it will give the treasury
| nothing at all, because it will shut
competing refined sugars out of this
market altogether, but on the trusts
share in an annual consumption Of ovel
four billion pounds it will amount to al
least "a, 900 900 voted to the trust as al
annual bonus in addition to Legitimate
profits.
No party can afford to levy such tai
on the people as A concession to the
impudent demands of monopoly
which has so recently confessed that il
is multiplying the laws of the United
| States.

Wants the Children.

Some weeks ago a man named Richie
died at the hospital leaving five children
in INDECENT circumstances, an account
of which appeared in THE PRESS at the
time. Homes were secured in good
families for them all by the manage
ment of the hospital and everything was
thought TO be settled, when Sunday the
mother Of the children, who last fall
left her husband and eloped with
another married man. made her appear
ance at the hospital and demanded the
children. The matron informed her
that she could not have them until they
could find out that she was morally fit
TO undertake the bringing up of them,
which judging by the past was doubt
full. She became quite abusive on
being so Informed and declared she
would use every means to get control
Of them. II an appeal 10 law is made
Il is doubtful that she viii be awarded

From the Washington Post
The parade was over, the crowd that
had gathered to see it had dispersed tc
eat supper. In the evening another
throng, of smaller dimensions, made
its way TO the vicinity of the White
House In order TO watch the presidential
party start for the inaugural ball. Two
girls were leaning over the fence that
surrounded the executive mansion.

NOT BEFORE MAY 1.
Cor. Jones Talks aboHf an Extra SEES.
sion Of the General Assembly.

From he Little Roek Gazette.
The most definite information thai
Gov. Jones can give cut relative 70 the
time for the extra session Of the
| legislature IL that il will not be before
May /.
My present Judgment l. that the
extra session will not be called for d
time carrier than that, said Gov.
Jones yesterday 10 Gazette represent
alive. Il may change ny views as to
I the exact time, he continued, s'buf
y0n may say the extra session will not
begin earlier than Nay L .
As frequently indicated In these
columns the only question in the
governor mind Is as 70 the exact time.
The governor was asked this question /:
IF the legislature had passed the
necessary appropriation bills, but no
railroad commission measure, would
y0u have called them back 10 consider
the railroad commission alonef
He replied: Il most certainly would
have done 50, because II l. measure
demanded by the people, and by the
Democratic platform Of the state. In
my opinion the people have a right to
such legislation az they want and while
/ am governor | shall respect their
wishes when | know them.
Gov. Jones said further that there
are two matters certain to be speci1ed
nm his proclamation converting the solons
In extra session. These are the appro-
priation bills and the railroad com
mission question.
Article 9, section 10, Of the constitu-
ton says:
1.-The governor may, by proclaim
alton, on extraordinary occasions con
yene the general assembly at the seat
Of government, or at different place,
If that shall have become since their
last adjournment dangerous from an
enemy or contagious disease, and he
shall specify in his proclamation the
purpose for which they are convened.
and no other business than that set
forth shall be transacted until the same
shall have been disposed OF, after which
they may, by vote Of two thirds Of all
members, elected 10 both houses,
entered upon their journals, remain In
session not exceeding fifteen days.
UNSIGNED BILLS.
Gov. Jones has not yet passed upon
the bills delivered to him in the closing
days of the session.
There are two Of these bills that have
ELECTED strong opposition, and the
governor will accord hearing TO the
opponents of the measures. They are
the anti trust bill and the bill requiring
that depot be established and main
tanned at Bridge Junction.

Kansa, New Democratic Senator.
y,er, ,hs Washington Post

| From the Washington Post.
Senator. elect W. A. Harris, OF
Kansas. arrived at the Riggs House
| last week. He is native of Loudoun
county. Virginia. and served in the
Confederate army In the T ifty Third
congress he was representative at
large from his state, having been
nominated by both the Populist and
Democratic parties. Mr.. Harris is a
man Of liberal education, and has
Travelled extensively. In his own state
he commands the respect Of men OF all
parties. He halls from Leavenworth
county, which is also the home of his
colleague, Senator Baker. The new
senator is known as one Of the leading
farmers and breeders OF high grade
cattle In his state.
In conversation with Post reporter,
Mr. Harris said
TO try to pull the country out of its
depressed condition by levying higher
tariff taxes seems TO me about as
practicable as for man to try TO lift
himself out of a mud hole by the straps
of his boots. But it is too old thing
TO argue over, and do not believe the
opponents of high tariff should throw
any obstacles in the way of the enact
ment of measure such as our Repub.
lican friends claim will prove panacea.
| sincerely hope they may be right. Al
any rate, give them free scope to put
their policy in practice. If prosperity
comes, those of us who take no stock II
the protective doctrine will be willing
TO concede that our opponents were
correct in their views. If there is M
Improvement in the situation the people
will try different sort of remedy. -
