The bill requiring railroad
companies to fence their tracks
against cattle, horses and hogs
and other domestic animals
brought out much humor when
Mr.. Dyal of Nassau amended it,
striking out 'hogs."
Mr.. Palmer Of Orange charac-
terized the animal as a relic of
barbarism and a menace to civill-
zatlon, and he prophesied that
the time would soon come when
the razor back hog would be con-
fined at the expense OF his owner
or in a grave. He claimed and
he vowed that he spoke from ex-
perience, that you might as well
undertake to fence out a bird as
a razor back hog.
The fact was also developed
that the razor back had friends
on the floor, and that his redeem
ing trait was that he was the
only hog in the country that
could outrun negro.

hand in hand. This is just as
true of the inside of the body as
the outside. Constipation clogs
the body and clouds the mind.
Constipation means that corrup-
ton is breeding in the body,
poisoning the blood with its foul
emanations, befogging the brain
with it's tainted exhalatlOns. Con-
stlpation is the beginning of more
diseases than, perhaps, any other
single disorder. The conse-
qucnces Of constipation are le-
gion. Headache, pain in the side,
shortness of breath, undue full
ness after eating, GOODNESS of the
extremitles, nervousness, indeci-
sion, lassltude, dizziness, sallow-
ness, fiatulence, and a score of
other ailments are directly caused
by constipation. Cure constipa-
ton and you cure it's conse-
quences. The quickest cure of
this evil is obtained by the use of
DR.. Plerce's Pleasant Pellets.

Olaa Opens Today.

The subscription books for the new
Olaa plantation will be open today and
tomorrow at the office of B. F. Dilling-
ham, one of the three promoters, in
the Judd building. More than a fort
night ago the applications for stock
in the great enterprise had so piled up
that it was then believed the capitali-
zaticn of 5000, 900 was oversubscribed.
The stock is to be half paid UP and
half assessable. On receipt of assess
able stock the subscriber must pay 50
on each $40 share. The other assess
ments are to be collected during the
coming two years.
The confidence shown in Olaa is of
the strongest character. 1T has been
lsuch as to weaken the listed securi-
ties perceptibly. Many holders of old
stocks have been anxious to sell for
several days in order to get in ION the
ground floor" with Olaa. Nearly
everyone is familiar with the reputa-
fion of the lands owned by the COM
pany. The tracts have always been
considered the most fertile in the group
and Especially adapted to growth of

A DESERVED PROMOTION.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The
Call says editorially of the promotion
of Col. JAS F. Smith: 4All Galfor
mans will feel something of gratifica-
ton in the promotion of Col. Smith Of
the First California to the rank OF
brigadier general. The California men
in the Philippines have had much OF
the severest work of the campaign to
do, and have distinguished themselves
for steadiness of discipline as well as
for daring valor on the field of battle.
The promotion of Gen. Smith is, OF
course. a recognition of the service Of
his gallant regiment, and to that extent
is an honor for the State.
The elevation of the former colonel
to the rank of brigade commander
makes room, of course, for the ad-
vancement of other California officers
in the First Regiment, SO that con-
siderable number of our fellow citizens
at the front will come home with high.
er rank than when they went away.
AS these promotions constitute one
Of the very few pleasing features of
this dreary war with savages in 4 far
off land, they will be received with the
more qualification. Whatever may be
the differences of opinion concerning
the war itself, there will be none to
feel other than just pride in every
evidence given of the military efficien-
cy and patriotic valor of our bows at
the front

nationalities, and attendance. These
showed that after the pupils reached
the fourth grade fully fifty per cent
dropped out. They either think they
have sufficient education or are com
PEELED to work
Professor Scott spoke on the effect
of doing away with the 50-cent fee. j
do not believe" said he, ''in making
school select by charging a tuition fes..
There are other methods. i think that
the quality of being select depends
more upon the qualifications Of appli-
cants than upon their ability to pay
50-cent tuition fee
Rev. A. Macintosh spoke of tae
Royal school and the effects of the ma
ltives and the foreigners mingling to-
gether. He cited instances to show
that where this condition was brought
about it generally resulted in the for
|eign pupils retiring from the school.
No definite conclusions will be
reached for some time. The reports
and views expressed yesterday were in
Ia great measure technical and dealt
with the courses of study in the vari-
GUS schools. The committee is pro-
ceeding slowly and intends to go deep
ly into the question, so that whatever
conclusion it comes to will be reached
with a thorough knowledge of the sub
ject.
The views of Minister Mott-Smith
are open. He thinks that the school
system should be SO arranged that any
child may derive the benefits from it.
But only upon the condition that he is
mentally and morally fit for associa-
ton with others. He believes that with
these qualifications of character and
scholarship the schools will be more
select and upon a firmer foundation
than they Will be while a tuition fee
is made the entrance requirement.

fessor Alexander and ]. Q. Wood, the
