Test Case as to the Taking of CLANS
In Lamoine by Non-Residents.
Hayden ID. Bunker, george A. Moore,
Percy s. Moore and John K. Moore, OF
Trenton, were arrested on complaint OF
5electman George E. King, OF Lamoine.
and brought before Judge Peters in the
municipal court on Tuesday, charged
with taking clans within the limits OF
he town OF Lsmoine in violation OF q
municipal regulation OF that town,
which prohibits non-residents from tax.
ing CLANS within it's limits.
The defendants attorneys waived the
reading OF the warrants aud examination,
and admitted the acts a. charged, but
commended that the act under which the
town OF Lamoine passed tho vote TO pro-
hibit non-resdents from taking clans
within its limits was unconstitutional,
and that II this act was constitutional,
the town of Lamoine had exceeded its
Hut hority in that while the town could
fix the time when clans could be taken
and could fix the price OF permits to take
clans, II issued by the town, 10 could
not designate who should or should not
be permitted to take clans.
Judge Peters held the young men
guilty, and imposed fine OF IS and costs.
defendants appealed, and this being a
test case, they were bound over on their
own recognizauce to await the action OF
the grand jury.
A. w. King appeared for the State, II.

tion of consideration in the senatorial

fancy in announcing as no other name
in the district. so far as the Progress
knows, has even been mentioned. The
next legislature promises to be one of
the most intelligent and composed of

if this senatorial district can secure
the services of Captain Carter or some
one else who will take the same inter

he would we will feel proud of the
honor, at the same time knowing the
district is in safe hands. Let Captain
Carter consider the matter well.

A CHANCE FOR GULFPORT.

Now it appears that the Frisco

Instead of going to New Orleans where
it intended TO go. The authorities Of
that city got crosswise in granting the
right of way for the road to come i'll
there and as the road saw a large
lawsuit coming on it has con-
cluded that rather than have this
trouble and expense it would diverge
its line and go to Gulfport where it
could get all the right of way for the
asking, besides the benefit Of deep
water harbor as good as that of New
Orleans. If the Frisco goes to Gulf
port it will prove to be the biggest
feather i'll the cap of that little city
and will add millions to the export
trade through that harbOr, and that
city would rise in prominence as no
The people of GulfpOrt should go
away out in the country and meet the
road and give it the hand of welcome
with the heartiest shake that was ever
witnessed between a railroad and the
people, for they would only be shak-
ing million Of dollars or so out Of
the hands of the road into their own
pockets.
tits not the purpose of the Progress
to give advice to the people of that
city, but it would mildly suggest that
if they can get the Frisco there their
fortunes are made, sealed and deliver

way back, look wise over the blue
waters of the gulf and count the hun
dreds of trade vessels coming and 60

down to Sleep they should thank the
Lord that such a man as Captain Jones
was sent to that city with his barrels

tablished deep water harbOr and put
Gulfport on such a firm foundation
that some day it will equal Charles
ton. The entire state is as much in
terested in the deep water harbOr at
Gulfport as Gulfport is itself, for it
is a state institution and the grandest
work that any state ever had.

L. NJ. Garrett, the talented editor
of the Carthaginian, published in
Leake county, is candidate for the
legislature and he has decided to make
one Of the most novel campaigns Of
any ever before heard of. He has
been extended the use of small boat
that runs in Pearl river, from the deck
of which he will make speeches TO
the voters of the county. The river
winds around in the county in such a
way that it takes in most of the ter
ritory, hence by the time the gentle
man makes one trip on the little craft
he will have had an opportunity OF
speaking to nearly all the voters of
the county. Mr.. Bryan spoke from
the tail end of train for a long
time, but was not elected. But this
will not be the result in Mr.. CARROTS
case, for doubtless he could remain at
home and then be elected.

GREAT MEDICAL DISCOVERY.

There is one thing abuot science
that is commendable and that is it
never sleeps 1t is always on the
move, here today, there tomorrow,
searching, diving down into the
depths of the unsolved myteries of the
world-of the oceans and the seas, Of
man, of animals, the birds of the air
and the flowers of the land. We can
"hello, central" and talk to our next
door neighbor or friend miles away,
or turn ON the light and see through
a man and count every bone in him.
or by the arrangement of little APP
paratus send message to Europe by
an electrical wave. Wonderful is
science along these lines, but it has
not stopped here to sleep. 1t has gone
down into the depths of the human
sytem and among all the intricates
that compose the body of man and
there making discoveries that are as
tonshing the world and putting men
and women and even children to talk
ing and thinking. And yet the end
of scientific researches is not near in
sight.
Along this line comes the report of
the wonderful discovery of Phila-
delphia physician which is here re-
produced for the benefit of the medl-
cal fraternity as we'll as others:
I'm paper read before the Phila-
delphia County Medical Society last
night, DR.. @. E. De NJ. Sarjous re-
ported a discovery which, if his de-
auctions be correct, may revolution
ize the field of medicine.
His discovery in brief is that
the pituitary body, heretofore thought
useless, is indeed one of the most i'm
portant organs of the body, when its
functions are understood.
From DR.. Sarjous' Investigations
covering a period of fourteen years,
five of which were spent in Paris, he
is convinced that this pituitary body
is q govern centre, which is not only
positive in its effect by controlling the
oxygen in the system, but equally posi-
tive in responding TO medicine and
drugs.
when this fact is finally estab-
lished and understood, medicine will
no longer be administered hypothetic-
ally. but it will become an applied
science. Under these conditions
certain medicines will be given and
assured results obtained. The dis
covery, it is said, also will be the
greatest since the discovery of ana

CAPTAIN CARTER FOR SENATOR.

The suggestion made by Editor
Runnels of the MeridiSN Star that
Capt. J. P. Garter of this dity be solic-
tied and urged to enter the race as a
candidate for state senator is a good
one and if the honorable gentleman
will only allow his name to be used
the voters of the district will do the
balance. We do not know which
county has the right to the senator
ship this time, and and it does not
materially matter which one, as the
primary law to an extent has changed
that, but it would be better for all
the counties composing the district if
they would center on Captain Carter
and send him to the senate. Hatties-
