Speaker White. Secondly, said Mr..
Landrith, "the failure OF the bill was
due to the vacillating attitude assumed
by Senators Johnson, Leech, and, in
the last moment. Lasater. Both Sena

in my presence and in the presence of
other witnesses that they were approach

berry by enemies of the measure"

LEGISLATURE
ADJOURNS.
Will Take a Recess Until the 11th of
March.
Senate and House Appoint Commit
tees to Investigate Charges of
Bribery.

NASHVILLE, Feb. S.-The Adams reso-
luton calling for an investigation of the
charges Of bribery was called up in the
Senate yesterday morning. 1t was
adopted unanimously after amendments
had been made giving the committee
power to thoroughly investigate every
charge, not only on the votes in open
session, but in the Democratic caucus
which made nominations for Secretary
of State and Librarian.
So far the names of at least FIVE
Senat tors have been mentioned in con-
nection with the bribery charges. The
close margin by which the Peeler bill
was rejected probably gives the stories
more favor upon the tongues of the
lovers of sensation. The prices paid,
too, are higher than those usually men,
toned in connection with the wavering
opinions of tennessee solons. 1t is
said that as high as 81, 400 was paid and
in two instances the smooth round sum
of $1,000.
The investigation will come up after
the recess.
The House spent dull day yesterday,
nothing at all transpiring to enliven the
proceedings. 1t seemed as if there had
been speedy reaction from the strain
caused by the discussion of the Peeler
bill in the Senate. At the morning ses-
sion Mr.. Greer, of Bledsoe, attempted to
! commit the members to an expression
on the dog law by the introduction Of a
resolution which virtually pledged the
House to support such measure. In
the final disposition the resolution was
referred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture.
Mr.. Peck, of Robertson, introduced a
bill to prevent speculation in theater
tickets.
Charges Against Nashville Mills.
At tho afternoon session DIR. Wick
hams pure food laws were passed. DR.
Brantley. of Davidson, advocated them
and in his speech said that it was wei
known that every manufactures of food

output of these mills was composed o.

PLAIN Talk by Ministers.
The officers of the Anti-Saloon League

are very plain in their talk in regard te
the charges of corruption, and scored
several senators quite severely.

AS soon as any one is attacked with
la grippe Peruna should be taken every
two hours during the day-adults a
tablespoonful, children a teaspoonfuI.
But it is the after-effects of la grippe
which are generally the most serious
unless Peruna is taken. In all cases
where Peruna is taken as above during
the acute stage the recovery is prompt
and complete; but where the ordinary
treatment is followed the patient will
complain for weeks and months of weak
ness, slight headache, want of appetite,
and many other symptoms of low vi
tality. Such people should begin at
once the use of Peruna-a tablespoonful
before each meal, gradually increasing
the dose to two tablespoonfuls.

THE TRANSCoNTTNENTAL SET
ELEMENT.

1t is easy enough to read. through the
guarded statements Of those in a posi-
tion TO know all the facts. the truth
about the agreement reached between
the trancontinental railroad interests
after their recent contest. 1t Is impor-
tant and welcome knowledge 10 the peo-
pie Of this section and this city; COR it
implies the carrying out of the great
plans of Mr.. Hill and his associates. in
which Seattle is SO vastly interested.
When the community of interest ad-
justment was concluded between the
Great Northern. the Northern Pacific
and the Burlington, by which all were
TO be operated N harmony the Union
Pacific managers took alarm. What
ever other occasion there may have been
for this, they undoubtedly feared a war
of rates in the territory which they
share with the Burlington. and an in
vasion, by new construction, of other
territory to which they lay claim.
They endeavorej to defeat the plan by
their raid on the market and their great
purchases of Northern Pacific stock.
All this has accomplished nothing
probably that would not have been con-
ceded readily by the Morgan Hill inter-
ests in the beginning. The Union Pacific
and the Northern Pacific now obtain
each a representation in the directory of
the other. This means only a safeguard
against such hostilities as have been
limited at above 1t has not in any de-
gree interfered with the consummaton
OF the plans Of Messrs. Hill and Morgan.
1t amounts only TO sort Of safe-con-
duct to the Union Pacific people. Feel
ing themselves secure against imagined
attack, they can go about their bust
ness. And the great plans projected by
the great representatives OF the north
ern systems can lOw be carried out
