No EXTRA SESSION.

EDITOR BULLETIN-As a number
OF my friends have asked me for my
opinion in regard to having an ex-
ira session of the present Legislature
to consider the question of amend
ing our state constitution, | wish to
say that this question was thorough
ly considered last winter at the reg
ular session.
No, we do not want any extra
session. We are getting along
nicely, paying the necessary ex-
penses of the state government, the
interest on the state debt, and with
the sinking fund we are paying our
bonded debt. If we have twenty
or thirty thousand dollars to spare,
let it go on our state debt

loved wife of Esquire r. J. Pirtle,

She was a daughter of James

married to her now lonely and be-
reaved husband December 81, iS4S.
Since she has cheered him amidst
the labors and struggles incident to
farmers life by her faithful and
constant discharge of the wifely du-
ties belonging to Christian home.
Into this home were born several
sons and daughters who, under the
influence of her Christian example
and motherly counsels, were early
brought into the fold of Christ.
With her husband, she became a
member Of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church, in the organization
of the Greenwood congregation,
aug. L, 1904.
Often the glad shout from her
lips told of a heart overlooking with
the love of God.
During her last sickness she called
her sons and daughters, then pres
ent, to her bedside and exhorted
them to meet her in heaven.
To her son, Rev. James Pirtle,
she said: s'There's not a cloud or
doubt in my way"
Sister Pirtle leaves rich heritage
to husband and children in the pre-
cious memories of a wife's I'd a
mothers tender love and care for
her family.
May it be an unbroken family in
the Eternal World, is the prayer of
her pastor, w. M. NoRMENT.

Salisbury Speech.

On October Goth, 1901, Hon. w.
G. Gibson, OF Benton county, Miss,
delivered to a large audience one of
the most thrilling speeches ever lis
tened to, at Turkey Springs, two
miles northwest of Salisbury, on
the subject of Friendship" He
told US that friendship was the roy
al flower and then showed the with
ering comfort that broken friend
ship caused. There were many sad
faces in the audience before he was

that the speech delivered was seed
sown in good grounds. Come again,

with your good wit and humor.

has had much trouble teething. Ev-
cry remedy was exhausted in the
shape of prescriptions from family
ply sicians. Her bowels continued
to pass off pure blood, and burn

was a great change--new life had
returned, the bowels were regular,

babe is now doing well. Yours,

Boston, July 1.-THE American Cot
ton and Wool Reporter will say to-
morrow of the wool market: The
market is stronger and active.
The increased business is very IN
evenly distributed, however, a half
dozen houses having transacted the
bulk of the business. The bulk of
the demand has been for territories
and fine woods, although an increased
demand has been manifested in fleece
woods, all of which have been at in
creased prices.
The trend of the market on fine
stock is toward a higher level and a
better inquiry is noted for medium
stock. Some dealers report that it
is impossible to get higher prices.
but on fine woods better prices GER
tainly have been obtained than have
been secured two Or three weeks ago.
From the lowest point touched in the
past year there has been a recovery

Inelf Impoverished NOnOILIOn.
Paris, July 1.-THE firing of a pis-
toll shot at Pierre Baudin, minister Of
public works, while he was driving
to the cabinet meeting yesterday, by
Nine. Olzewsky, has proved a one
day sensation. The explanation made
today at the foreign Office tend to di-
minish sympathy with Nine. Olzew-
sky and her husband, who say the act
was committed in order to draw pub.
lie attention to their poverty and mis-
cry. It appears that the Olzewskys
exaggerated the injury to their means
of livelihood resulting from the ar
rest Of NJ. Olzewsky, charged with
being a spy and for which Italy
refused compensation on the ground
that the arrest took place under nor
NAL conditions. The foreign Office
treated Olzewsky well, giving him q
position worth 5000 francs a year.
Instead of attending to his work him
self, Olzewsky farmed it out to others
and thus reduced his income from
it to 1900 francs.

PRIMITIVE LAW UPHELD.
Omaha Court Recognizes Justice Q
Indian Execution.

Omaha, July 16-Bird Head, a
Ponca Indian buck, aged sc, and his
squaw, aged 81, this afternoon plead
ed guilty in the federal court to man
slaughter committed on the eserva
ton more than a year ago, and were
released with suspended sentence.
Perry Laravie, also an Indian, had
Internationally slain their son Peter
and following the tribal tradition, he
handed over to old Bird Head his rifle,
who shot him. Then the squaw cut
him up with an ak. They had fulfilled
the Indian law, but collided with the
white code.
This disposition of the case was
making the punishment fit the crime
in the view of the court.
