WHAT is CATARRH?
Hyo,neI Only Guaranteed Cule
for This Common and Dis
a9Teeabie Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the
simple method Of breathing it
into the air passages and lungs.
1t kills the germs of catarrhal
poison, heals and soothes the
irritated mucous membrane
and effectually drives this dis
ease from the system.
II you have any of the fol-
lowing symptoms, catarrhal
germs are at work somewhere
in the mucous membrane of the
throat. bronchial tubes or It's
sues of the lungs.

Washington Post: Miners and
soldiers exchanged 1000 shots
in Colorado with but one casu-

dead shots and bad men.

Thanks 10 mrs. FRANCIS.

hdllSdS ClIy OCdf: PERSONS
who are sticklers for .sform''
and propriety will feel a strong
sentiment of gratitude to Mrs.
ID. r. Francis, who has taken
pains to shed the frown of her
dlsapproval on the st. Louis
women who wear decollete
gowns at the worlds fair. 1t is
not remembered that Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer found it necessary
to issue any such ultimatum at
the worlds fair in Chicago in
1893, but let that pass. 1t will
not be denied that the women
of st. Louis, with their happy
combination of western and
southern blood, are lowered
with very comely necks and
shoulders; but there is a place
and a time for everything,
and the country cannot be too
thankful that Mrs. Francis has
arisen to an emergency, which
there is great reason to fear
her distinguished husband
would have overlooked.
Sherman gravel will be used

loading the gravel on the cars,
with the assistance of a big
steam shovel. Two additional
freight crews will be put in ser
vice to take care of the gravel
shipments. Opening the new
pit is in charge of Assistant
Superintendent Whitney.
"There is too much fashion in
alleged education,' says the
Cedar Rapids Gazette. "There
is too much style, altogether.
Half the young people who
study Latin, Greek, some of
the sciences and many of the
accomplishments do not know
and never will know why they
studied, except that others were
doing the same thing, that
their teachers advised them in
that direction, that their par
ents did not object and that it
seemed to be the proper thing"

The East Survivor.

La Crosse Chronicle: That
was a pathetic scene at Paris,
lll, last Friday, when the last
survivor of a command which
took par in the Mexican war
went alone to the fair grounds,
where he had met his comrades
for forty years, called the roll
to which thereswas no respon-
ses, and spent the remainder of
the day in solitary meditation.
The time is not so far distant
when a veteran of the civil war
may do the same. The remnant
of the federal armies which
assembled at Washington for
their last parade is dwindling
rapidly, and with each year
the death rate increases so rap
idly that the last survivor has
not long to wait for the melan-
choly and transient honor Of
having Travelled a little further
along the bridge of Mirza's Wis
ion than his fellows. 1t is to be
hoped that his honors will not
be dimmed by his having made
merchandise of his patriotism
and been a pensioner from lusty
manhood to decrepit age.

law practically prohibits small con-
tractors, who are not plentifully sup
piled with funds, from bidding on pub
| lie buildings. The vote by which the
bill was reconsidered was the closest
that has been taken since the legisla'
ture convened.
The house committee made favor
able report on the bill providing for
a new codification of the laws of the
State.
In the senate the bill prohibiting
non-members from wearing the en-
blems. of secret societies was passed
by a practically unanimous vote. An
other interesting bill passed was to
prevent frauds in awards of contracts,
by boards of supervisors by providing
that such contracts must be examined
and passed upon b. the circuit judges
of the districts.
The uniform school book bill, which
was the special order in tE.s senate,
was postponed until Thursday. The
house made the amendment for con
stitutional prohibition a special order
for next Tuesday morning, at which
time the first of three votes will be
taken.
There was the usual number of To-
cal bills introduced in both branches
of the legislature, but no further &C
ton of general interest transpired in
either the house or senate before adj
tournament

rwENrY.sEvENrH DAY.

The feature Of the legislative session
Oday was the consideration of the
Sample amendments to the primary
election law, which were the special
order for the day. Fairly good head
way was made on the bill during the
morning, and the measure was left
pending when the house adjourned for
dinner.
At the opening of the session con-
sideration was resumed on the bill fix
ing penalty on railroad companies for
failure to deliver freights. The meas
ure is quite drastic in its provisions,
and was passed in an amended form.
1t is held by its opponents, however,
that it will not stand a test in the
courts.
Another somewhat remarkable bill
passed was in the senate, being bill
to confer on Nightmares and mothers
of Nightmares the same rights as le-
climates to recover damages for death
or injury. There was practically no
opposition to the bill, the vote being
rs to 5.
Outside of the Introduction of the
usual deluge of duplicate and local
bills, nothing further of a general ma
ture transpired in the deliberations of
either house before adjournment for
the day was taken.

rwENrY.EleHrH DAY.

The legislative feature today was
the consideration of the bill in the
senate providing for a uniform system
of school books, which was left pend
ing when the body adjourned for din
ner
The working committee of the SEN
ate accomplished some good work. Fa-
vorable reports were made ON the bills
for better working of public roads, in
creasing Supreme Court to five mem
bers and making terms ten years each,
the house bill changing Office hours
of State officials so as to cut out the
noon dinner hour, and the measure
fixing the maximum legal rate of in
terest at 8 per cent instead of 10 per
cent. Unfavorable reports were made
on the bill regarding the management
of the penitentiary.
The house judiciary committe ia
vorably reported on the bill increasing
salaries of judges, as amended. Mr..
Estes introduced a bill providing for
a geological survey of the State The
house wrangled for some time on the
bill to reimburse Greenville citizens
for funds expended in preparing for a
military encampment which failed to
be held at that place, and the meas
ure was finally defeated. The house
passed the bill allowing the governor
q special contingent fund of $500
per annum to suppress whitecapping
and other forms of lawlessness.
Nothing further of general interest
happened in either branch of the leg
islature.

TWENTY.FoURTH DAY.

The legislature was dull attrac-
ton today. The senate adjourned I'M
til Monday, and the house spent the
entire morning with local and private
legislation, it being a custom to set
aside this day for bills of this nature.
The house galleries were deserted
during the session, and many mem
bers were absent from their seats,
having either left for their homes or
being confined in their boarding
houses with bad colds and la grippe,
resulting from the spell of severe
weather.
The joint legislative committee of
twe1ty-four members appointed to re-
district the Circuit and Chancery
Court districts of the State, has thus
far made but little progress with the
undertaking, which is of a rather stu
pendous nature.
One plan suggested to the commit
tee, which is attracting much atten-
ton, proposes the formation of thir-
ten Circuit Court districts, an increase
of two over the present number. This
plan has one very commendable fea-
ture, in that it does not place any two
circuit judges or district attorneys in
the same district. 1t is as follows:
First Notwithstanding Alcorn,
Prentiss, Itawamba, Lee, Monroe,
Chickasaw and Lowndes.
Second District-Pearl River, Han

Third District-Tippah, Union, Ben
ton, Marshall, Lafayette, Pamela. Tate
and DeSoto.
Fourth District-Leflore. Sunflower

cry, Clay and Webster.

Seventh District-Holnles, Madison

Coahoma, Bolivar and Tallahatchie.
Twelfth Distrmict-Copiah, Lincoln,
Pike, Covington, Lawrence and Ma
rion.
Thirteenth District-Simpson, Jas
per, Smith, Clark. Jones and Perry.
After the introduction of quite a
number of private and local bills the
house. without the transaction of any
other business, adjourned for the day.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Since the legislature convened near
ly 500 bills have been Introduced in
the two houses. Aside from the dup
licate measures, and bills bearing a
similarity to each other, which are
either unfavorably reported or re-
turned in the form of substitutes, it is
fortunate for the people of Mississippi
that a very small percentage of the
pending measures will be enacted in
to law. The legislature has been in
session four weeks, only half dozen
measures have been signed by the
governor, and not over a dozen will
be in readiness for his signature with
in the next ten days. The promptness
with which the working committees
have squelched the life out of large
majority of the bills introduced is
highly gratifying indication that the
people of the State will not be op-
pressed with a burden of useless new
laws when the legislature adjourns.
1t has been the history of legisla-
lures and lawmaking bodies since the
beginning of time that some members
are imbued with the idea that they
must be continually introducing bills.
Their work is of the class that
amounts to nothing, and is worse than
useless, for it becomes really PERM
cious and develops the demagogue of
the most dangerous type. 1t can be
safely asserted that 80 per cent of the
bills offered in the two bodies since
the legislature convened have no more
place on the statute books than they
would be entitled to in the Bible.
They cover almost every phase of wis
dom and unwisdom, imbecility and
corporate favoritism, and serve only
TO illustrate the freakish intellect or
cupidity of their authors. 1t is there
lore doubly fortunate at this time that
has legislature which is
being conducted by men of sense and
business sagacity. Unquestionably |
he personnel and standard of the |
body is higher than it has been for
many years, and while some laws will |
get on the statute books be- |
ore the end of the session which |
ought not to be there, the general
rend of legislation promises to be
prudent and conservative.

Prohlbitlonlsta Scared.

The prohibitionists have sent out
an appeal to the legislators who are
friendly to the cause of constitutional
prohibition to remain at the capital
continually for the next few days In
order to assure the successful passage
of the constitutional amendment
1t appears that the prohibitionists
were rather surprised at the small
showing made by them In the first
skirmish last week, and they are now
making an energetic effort to rally
their forces and wage a fierce Tight
for the cherished measure. They re-
alize that it is a difficult matter to
command eighty-nine votes at full
session Of the house or to maintain
this ratio with many members alb
sent, and as the amendment is to be
voted upon three successive days, it
might meet defeat on either Of these
days by falling few votes short OF
the required two-thirds. The advo-
Gates of local option and the anti-pro-
hibitionists have taken much courage
over the new phase of the situation.,.

atty. The present maximum penalty
for this crime is ten years IN the
penitentiary. The lynching question:
was dragged into the debate. and thus
prolonged the consideration Of the
bill.
The senate was engaged for q great
er portion of the morning In dis
cussion Of the bill seeking to exempE
money from taxation loaned at rate
not exceeding per cent. The meas
ure was left pending when the SEN
ate adjourned for dinner, with fair
prospects Of its indefinite postpone-
ment
The house appropriated 5000. 600
per year for the support Of the penl
Tertiary. and an additional $4,000 to
defray the expenses for January.
The Hightower Woodworking bin
was made the special order for next
Wednesday. This is one Of the most
important measures pending.

ample exercise, moving around that
stove. There is much more that l de
sire to say on this subject-some
things l would say for myself, and
some for the children, with their lit.
tie cold noses and fingers. But l will
let this subject drop, while express.
ing the hope that our rural school
houses henceforth will be built with
some idea of beauty. as well as with
view to comfort. If the patrons (and
the State) would do half as we'll as
the teachers and the little children,
every school house in Mississippi
would be so attractive that the chill
dren would all enter the contest for
the prize offered the most attractive
rural school house and grounds-and
what Is more, l believe every single
one OF them would win the prize.

TWENrY.FIFTH DAY.

The committee on universities anC
colleges has just completed its in
vestigation of the various institutions
The report will be read to the house
at an early date. The one of most in
terest Is that relating to the university
and some of the testimony as to the
Greek letter societies is said to be oil
a sensational character.
The judiciary committee of the
house has finally decided to report the
same code bill formerly reported
which provides for a commission to
report code to the next legislature
Constitutional Prohibition.
When the house met the constitu-
ton committee reported concurrent
resolution No. ~, submitting an
amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in the State
with the recommendation that it do
pass as amended, the amendment
changing the time of submission from
a special election in August to the
general election in November
Mr.. Brown, of Adams, moved that
the resolution be referred to the liquor
traffic committee to pass on the sub
ject matter.
Mr.. Ross moved that the Brown
motion be tabled and the roll was
called on this motion, which resulted
in tabling by SO ayes to 80 nays, the
house refusing to send the amend
ment to the liquor traffic association.
A minority report from the consti-
tuition committee was presented to
the house and signed by Mr.. Watts,
of Lauderdale, and T. e. Williams,
in which they took the position that
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution was unnecessary, and for
that reason they could not concur in
the recommendation Of the majority
of the committee.
There were no bills introduced of
general interest and the house at
1890 adjourned for the day
