brief session they held in the morning.
Neither Speaker Petit nor Lieutenant
Governor Haggard announced his commit
tee appointments yesterday. The Lieuten-
ant Governor had completed his list of COM
mittees Sunday evening. and gave them TO
the press. A few hours later his attention
was called TO the fact that the rules re-
quired that the committee on fees and sal
aries be made up of a representative from
each congressional district. This had es-
capped his attention, and the construction

NEEDS MORE ROOM.
First Baptist Church COntempIates n
Large Addition.

The officials of the First Baptist Church
have a difficult problem to solve. The pres
ent audience room is too small 10 accommo-
date the large audiences. At the morning
services every seat is usually taken and all
available space utilized by additional
chairs. In the evening the rush is still
greater. Last Sunday evening hundreds
were turned away because they could not
get even standing room. The seating ca
pacity of the present church is about /, 200.
and more III crowded. as 1t usually is. and
the question now is what can be done 10
furnish larger accommodations for those
who desire to worship there. One PROPOSE
ton is To purchase the property of John
s. Spann. just north of the church. and put
an addition to the church of a seating ca
pacity of 500 or Loco.

Took a Big Dose.

The Dispensary ambulance was called
to the corner of Noble and Elm streets

the drivers OF the ambulance. Early i'm
the evening Hughes went to a drug store
on Virginia avenue and bought a dimes
worth of morphine. and proceeding to a
saloon nearby. he swallowed the entire
quantity with a glass of beer. The drug
soon had an effect on him, and the saloon
keeper notified the D~ispensary. DR.. Barr
gave Hughes an emetic and soon had him
out of danger. Hughes claims he took the
drug TO relieve headache. which is a reason
not apparent to physicians. The dose was
sufficient 10 have killed sveral men.

Bills for Autopsies.

Yesterday the County Commissioners
were considerably worked up over some
bills of the coroner for ~autopsies. The ques-
con was discussed at considerable length
and ii was decided that the Legislature
should be urged to pass a law making it
the duty of the coroner to make all autop-
sizes or To provide n sufficient salary and
then allow the coroner TO make autopsies
or employ some other physician to do SO at
the expense of the coroner. IL is believed
that under this plan the coroner would not
find il necessary TO make so many autop-
sizes.
