From Jefferson City.

Ed. RegtSter-Legislatio that is to
be accomplished by this session is ra-
pidly approaching completion. The
last day for the introduction of new
bills has passed and everything on
hand is being pushed on through the
successive stages which are necessary
for their enactment inio laws. There
have been 757 House and 425 Senate
bills introduced. All of the house
bills have had their first and second
reading, have been referred to the
various committees, and reported back
in some shape, either favorably or
otherwise, while many have received
amendments or had committee substi-
tutes reported in their place. In some
instances where bills of similar purpose
have been found, they have been COM
bined, or g. new one given the place of
both. So that as the work has pro-
crossed. the main principles have been
brought out, in order that the greatest
good may be accomplished by the least
change. Resolutions have been read
and disposed of, which have had for
their object either the support or oppo-
sition of some particular bill or class of
legislation. Petitions innumerable have
also been heard, which are intended
to show some reason why certain laws
should be passed or others defeated.
The public are certainly watching
this legislature for a few days after
any bill which is liable to affect any
number of people Is introduced petit
tions pour in by the hundred, asking
for either its success or defeat. In
many Instances about as many are for
as against the question. The bills OF
general Importance have been given
preference in their progress, and after
being passed through the House have
gone over to the Senate, where about
the same routine is undertaken.
Occasionally the Senate has found it
necessary on account of their superior
wisdom, TO amend a house bill, and
this has necessitated it's return for
concurrence. In few instances this
object has not met with success, and
the next step is to appoint joint CON-
mit.ee to agree on the measure In
question. Occasionally similar bill
is found Ia both houses. and the one
first passed by either branch is given
preference, and the other one disposed
of according to rule. The correct

Obituary.

Died-Near Annapolis, Iron county
Mo-, on the I'd of March, 1897, ESTHER,
infant daughter of Mrs. and John B.
Buckner, aged two months and %
days.
Little Esther had seen but few well
days, but was an unusual bright and
cheerful baby, and bore her sufferlngs
with great fortitude.
Dear little Esther thou art sadly
missed by thy broken hearted parents
who are mourning for thee and weep
ing round the vacant place which the
death of their darling baby has made
in their home.
The coffin lid can never shut out
from memory's page the loved and the
lost. The precious trust that has once
been ours will ever liuger in our minds
as jewels on the threads of time.
Sad thought. never again will We
look into her face nor hear her sweet
voice, but we know she is now happy
in the arms of Jesus; and, if we are
faithful here we will meet her by and
by.
None but parents so bereft can know
our loneliness. but we will try to say
''Thv will, o God, be dOne!'
When such storm clouds of sorsow
sweep DER US, were it not for the hope
that we will again meet our loved and
lost, life would never cease to be a
burden and care.
All that remained on earth of our
darling baby was laid to rest in the
Sutton burying grounds.
There is no sweeter story told,
In all the blessed book,
Than how the Savior in his arms,
The little children took.
In loving ways she spent her days,
And we are left alone,
Our baby dear, who was so near,
Has sped away and gone.
1t breaks my heart, 'tis hard to part,
With one who was so dear,
The Savior calls and she must GO,
To his dear loving arms!
HER PARENTS.

day when Vice President Hobart In the senate
and Speaker Reed In the house called these re-

The invocation was delivered by Rev. w.
H Mllburn, the blind chaplain He made a
beautiful and touching reference TO our be
loved president" who awaited news from the
bedside Of the mother 10 whom he is devoted,
and prayed that she might have peaceful
passage to the celestial shore. Seventy-seyen
senators responded to their names on the the
roll call. The presidents message was read in
both houses. after which an adjournment waa
had until Tuesday.

SIM ASKING TIE TRCSTS.

The Presidents suggestion, that the
States may do much to break up the
trusts and monopolies is frsitful.
Wise laws in regulation of corpora
tions which, while preserving their
usefulness as servants, Will curb all
abuse of their powers, would strike a
deadly blow at monopolistic combi.
nations.
Hurtful monopoly is usually gained
IN one of two ways: either by gov-
eminent favor in the form of legis-
lative advantages, or by railroad dis
elimination In the form OF special
rates or rebates. Usually both adj
Vantages are enjoyed. If the States
visited severe penalties upon railoads
guilty of determinations and upon
corporations and individuals enter
ing into combinations to regulate
production or prices, the trusts and
monopolies would be badly crippled.
The monopoly combinations could
be almost weeded out of the States
by the enforcement OF the PRINCIPLES
of the common law.
But the other trust ooign of van.
tage. the Legislative privilege, is With
in the scope of Federal power. The
Sugar Trust enjoys a diferential in
the tariff which enables it to- DEFY
outside competition and rob the peo-
pie. Tariff Determinations are en-
joyed by host of trusts and COM
bines. The beginning of many Of
the trusts was founded on the bounty
tariff, which is still their chief bul-
wark.
Let Congress, in addition to max
ing laws to prevent the operation of
trusts within the scope OF Federal
authority, adopt the rule that every
article handled by a trust or eombi-
nation shall be placed On the free
list and the corner stone Of monopoly
will be knocked out. If the Repub-
hcans are sincere in their profession
OF a desire to smash the monopolies.
here is an opening.-Ss. Louis Re-

There was time when the punc-

difficult to arrive at the exact mean
ing of the writer, and to avoid this the
points were introduced OF course.
about the smallest, and apparently the
most insignificant, of them all is the
comma; but it's misuse is often the
cause of very annoying mistakes, an
we'll as loss of money. It should bs
the aim of those now in school to
learn thoroughly how to use this lit
tie mark, and never be guilty Of
making mistake like the following.
an account of which we read not long
ago:
1t seems that some twenty years O r
so ago, when the United States, by
its Congress, was making a tariff
bill, one of the sections enumerated
what articles should be admitted free
of duty. Among the many articles
specified were call foreign fruit
plants" ETC., meaning plants import
ed for transplanting, propagating, or
experiment. The engrossing clerk,
in copying the bill, accidentally
changed the hyphen in the compound
word, 'fruit-plants" to a comma.
making it read, "au foreign fruit.
plants" etc. As the result of this
simple mistake, for a year, or until
Congress could remedy the blunder.
all the oranges, lemons, bananas.
grapes and other fruits were admitted
free of duty.
This little mistake, which anyone
would be liable to make, yet which
could have been avoided by careful
ness, cost the government not lesx
than $2,0OO,oO0. A pretty costly
comma that Youths Instructor.

The word Thermopylae simply
means hot springs; and the famous
pass where the battle was fought be-
tween the Spartans and the Persians
took it's name from the warm springs
flowing from the side of the mount
ain. Thermopylae was in ancient
times the only practical route for an
army between Northern and Central
Greece. The road was only wide
enough for a single vehicle.
