There will be opposition to Senator
Parks oeomargarine BILL" said promi-
neht member of the upper house last even
ing. This measure seeks to prohibit the
use of butterne or oleomargarine In any
of the State institutions. 1t is claimed
by the author of the bill, believe. that
twelve of the thirteen State institutions
serve one or the other spurious varieties
of butter to the inmates. So far as am
able to ascertain there is no contention
made that the use of butterine is doing
harm to the health of the thousands of un-
fortunates under the States care, but the
idea prevails that the State should not
countenance the manufacture of these
products. which it does by allowing their
use in its institutions. / am informed that
if this bill becomes a law the appro-
priations for every State institution will
have to be increased, and the boards of
managers, in one or two instances, at
least, are said to be warmly against such a
proposition.
Take the Eastern Indiana Insane Hos
pital, for instance. There are between 500
and 600 patients there, and butterine or

tenant Governor Gilbert, Speaker Marshall.
Senators Kittinger and Fleming and Repre-
sentatives Statesman, Luhring and Crav-
ems returned yesterday morning from
the trip to st. Louis. All the members OF
the party expressed themselves as well
pleased with the trip and convinced that
the ST Louis exposition will be record
breaker. All of them feel that Indiana
should be creditably represented at the ex-
position, and the formal report of the COM
mittee when presented TO the Legislature
will probably recommend a substantial ap-
preparation for that purpose.
The Indiana party was met at the rant
ers' Hotel by the reception committee OF
the exposition and taken at once TO the
exposition site in special trolley car.
There they were welcomed by President
Francis at his Office and later they were

At o'clock the members of the party
were entertained at lunch by president
Francis at the administration building. at
the conclusion of which a number OF i'm
promptu speeches were made by Governor
Durbin and members of the committee.
After lunch the committee had session
with the exposition officials and secured
a great deal of information concerning the
exposition and the nature OF the exhIblts
that will be made by the various States. III
is estimated that over SS,500000 will be spent
by the States. and number of them nave
already made large appropriations, headed
by Missouri with S1.000,000 and Illinois with
$3.50 900.
The question of the amount that Indiana
should devote to a building and exhibit at
the fair has not been considered by the
committee as yet, but meeting VIII be
held within the next few days, at which
the matter will be taken up. Indiana APP
propriated S125,000 for the Chicago exposi-
ton, and it is probable that the appro-
priation for st. Louis will not be less than
that amount.

GONZALES STILL ALIVE
THAT is ABOUT ALL MAY BE RE-
GARDED AS HOPEFUL.
Successive Bulletins Show Progressive
Increase of UnfavOrabIe Symp-
tOms-Tillman in Jail.

COLUMBIA. s. c.. Jan. 1s.-There have
been more encouraging symptoms in the
condition of Editor N. c. Gonzales to-day
than have appeared at any time since his
wounding by Lieutenant Governor Tillman
last Thursday, vet it is impossible to make
any prediction as to the ultimate result Of
his case. The physicians will only say
that he is holding his own and that he
has probably passed the period of danger
from peritonitis.
There are two phases to his condition,
which may be termed the immediate and
the later possibilities The first relates
especially to the wound in the intestines.
To-day this has shown an Improvement.
The obstruction has been relieved and the
passages have been kept open, while the
wounds themselves have progressed ia
vorably I'm the healing. The other phase
concerns the wound in the liver From this
there is probably no immediate danger but
serious developments may occur within the
next few days. The following bulletin was
issued tonight:
wound dressed and found to be in satis-
factory condition. Drainage from the wound
was in healthy condition. Patient stood the
dressing very we'll indeed. Pulse, I22; tenn
perature. 102: respiration. 80. During the
day evacuation of bowels took place, fol-
lowed later by another. without any assist
ance of any kind
One Of the physicians said to-day that II
Gonzales lived until Tuesday without un-
favorable developments he would likely
have an even chance of recovery. This
evening there was return of nausea and
restlessness. DR.. A. G. Wylie, of New York,
who left here last night for Rock Hill, will
return to be in consultation at the present
state of the patients condition. In the
churches of Columbia to-day there were
offered prayers for the life of the stricken
editor.
There have been no developments regard
ing the shooting to-day. No statements of
any sort have been issued and no changes
have occurred in the position of Lieutenant
Governor Tillman. He is still in the county
Jail and no applications have been made for
his release on bail. 1t is considered prac-
tically certain that none will be entertained
as long the condition OF Gonzales re-
mains critical. There has been no repetition
Of the talk OF violence TO the Lieutenant
Governor.
