COMMITTEE OF INVESTIGATION.

The Corinth Herald thinks the
next Legislature shout appoint COM
mittee of three outside that august
body to be kno En as a committee of
investigation, and suggests that
SETTLER, Senter and Vardaman be
put on the committee, intimating
that the three are always calling for
an investigation of every fraud per-
petrated in the state in high places.
SETTLER. Senter and Vardaman
would make fine committee. These
three gentlemen are faithful watch
ers of the political check board of
the state officials and whenevey they
see a move whereby the people are
likely to be cheated they blab it out
IN their respective papers and don't
give a goll-darn who knows it. They
do not beat about the bush to run the
thief out, but go in after him, and if
he cannot be scared out they take
him by the hind leg and pull him
out, and his kicks and the kicks of
his friends do not amount to a row of
headless dress pins.
If the Herald means by its sugges-
ton that we are outspoken in our re-
spective papers and call a spade a
spade and that our governor or any
other man is liable to err, and that
some high officials err deliberately
and with malice aforethoug ht, it has
us down about right, and 1t is a pity
for the state that there are not more
such independent journals in the
state like the Progress, the Vicks-
burg American and the Greenwood
Commonwealth. Indeed we are so
watchful of the public's interest that
we watch each other. SETTLER and
Senter now have their eyes on Yard
aman and his pet scheme of dividing
the school fund. giving that part to
the niger that belongs to the niger
and no more, for when man an
nounces himself for governor he has
to be watched before and after taking
the office. And then SETTLER Is
watching both Vardaman and Sem
ter to see that they keep right on adj
vocating that fool break the party
made In 1896, led by Mr.. Bryan, and
which defeated the party in two pres
idential elections. This is their
platform-thIs free silver platform
and the Progress man will see that
they continue to swallow until they
are choked to death if it takes an
other four years.
The investigating committe suits
us to I and a big t at that, and
since vardaman would not go to
heaven in the golden chariot unless
he was conductor ON it and author
lied to take up the tickets, Settler
Is perfectly willing that he shall be
chairman of the committee.

MAY SHUT OFF FOOD SUPPLY
Strike for shorter Hours Likely to
Close Down Minneapolis
Mills.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 1a.-Three thou
sand mill workers will be represented next
Sunday at a meeting in Alexander hall that
will vote on a proposition to declare a
strike, which, IL -pIacsd in effect. will tie
up plants that produce a large, part of
the American -four product. The men do
not demand an increase OF wages. Their
principal grievance involves the length OF
their work day. The employees have made
repeated overtures for an eight-hour ar
rangement without avail. The negotiations
have been in progress for more than six
months, and throughout that time the
Flour Mills Employees union has been rails
ing a strike fund. Now 1t is claimed that
sanction for a strike has been secured
from the National Federation Of Labor,
with which the mill workers are afiliated,
The -four mills Of this section usually de-
vote the winter months to the grinding OF
the fall wheat crops, and a strike at this
time would cause a serious curtailment Of
next springs food supply.

woman's husband was in the hands Of two
detectives and that they would go over the
ground thoroughly today. The captain
said he believed that Pulitser's story was
the truth.
Captain Titus was asked what, II any,
clues he had. He replied that the most i'm.
portant clue he had at present was the fact
that a man called at the house where the
Pulitzers lived on Tuesday. He said that
detectives were now at work on that end.
The theory Of Chief Of Police Murphy OF
Jersey City is that the woman was killed
in New York and that the body was brought
across the river on a ferryboat. and that Il
was taken to where II was found in a
wagon. The chief thinks that someone who
admired the woman killed her in a At Of
jealousy. He does not believe robbery was
the motive.
The twenty-pound weight which was at
tached to the strap that was fastened about
the dead woman's waist was Identified to-
day as the property Of Charles E. Evans,
who keeps a stable in Hoboken. Mr.. Evans
says that early Wednesday evening a man
entered the stable and said he wanted a rig
that was capable Of carrying a large
valise. A hitching strap and weight,
which he asked for, were given to him. He
did not return the rig until 8 o'clock the
next morning.
Evans, the Hoboken l%iveryman, came to
the detective bureau this afternoon, and
after closely scrutinizing Joseph Pulitzer
he positively declared that he was not the
man who hired the rig.

ABOUT EYES.
Glasses Are Not Always Necessary

Parents are often advised to get glasses
for their children by the school authorl-
ties, who attribute the weak, watery con-
dition Of the eyes Of the child to some de-
feet in the vision and do not realize that
the trouble may arise from the common
practice OF coffee drinking.
A case in point. Mrs. c.. e, Knapp Of
Elyria, o., says. six months ago we were
a family Of invalids; my husband. myself
and two children were all af1icted with
stomach trouble. l would get so faint be-
fore it was time for regular meals, and
after eating had pain and distress in the
stomach, which felt as though there was
a hard lump in there. I felt drowsy and
stupid most OF the time. II I was out
in the wind my eyes would water so it
hindered me from seeing.
My son was the worst afiicted. His
eyes blurred so they hindered his progress
in school and We thought It would be nee
essary to have them treated. His teacher
finally had him bring his reader homo
with word that l have him read an hour
each day out OF school. He could not read
a paragraph without stopping to wipe hls
eyes or close them. We were great coffee
drinkers, especially my boy, but never
thought that was the cause of our trouble
uuNll 4 Ithu an dEliClc Oh Tue buOJoCt IN
the Cleveland paper.
We were discussing It at table one day
and my daughter said, 4 know 1t is coffee
that hurts me, for when ! do not drink it
l do not have that lump in my stomach.
My boy said, A lump is nothing, every
time | drink coffee my fingers priokle Just
as though they were asleep l was both
scared and astonished at such informa-
tion and told them l had made the last
cup Of coffee ever would for home use.
/ got a package of Postum Food Cofee and
tried It Cor our next meal and we soon
learned to like II and think II better than
coffee.
We have none OF US been troubled with
our stomAchs since we commenced to use
It. Our eyes Go not water any more
when in the wind, our cheeks and lips are
red instead OF blue or purple when we
are out in the cold, the drowsy feeling
has left and the prickly feeling has en-
tirely left my son. We use II twire a day
and give It freely to my 20 months old
babe. We find It better and cheaper than
coffee. We cannot speak too highly OF
its merits, for we know we owe the change
in health to Postum Cereal FOee Coffee.
