Must Support their Families.

One of the most interesting bills pass
ed by the legislature at its recent session
was that signed by the Governor on
Wednesday, which makes sweeping IN
novations upon the present law in rela-
ton to the punishment of married men
who wilfully and without cause desert
their wives or infant children, and re-
fuse them support. The bill was drawn
and offered in the Senate by Mr.. Nc
Ilwaine, Of Petersburg, and provides
that a man so offending may be confined
in Jail until he agrees to comply with
the law.
The bill, which will be effective with
in ninety days from date, reads as fol-
lows
/. Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of Virginia. That any person
who shall, without just cause, desert or
wiliully neglect to provide for the sup
port of his wife or minor children in des-
titute or necessitious circumstances, shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
shall be punished by Imprisonment in
iaiI not exceeding one year, providing
that before the trial with the consent OF
the defeudant) or after conviction, in
stead of imposing the punishment herein
before provided, the court shall enter
an order, which shall be subject to the
circumstances and financial ability Of
the defendant and shall have the power
to change by it from time to time as the
circumstances may require, directing the
defendant TO pay certain sum weekly oi
monthly for the space of one year TO Tho
wife or 10 the custodian Of the minor anc
to release the defendant from custody or
probation for the space of one year upon
his entering into recognizance, with Of
without sureties, in such sum as the
court shall direct.
The condition of the recognizanct
shall be such that if the defendant shal
make his personal appearance at court
whenever ordered to do so within the
year. and shall further comply with thu
terms of the order or of any subsequen
modification thereof, then the recogni'
zance shall be void, otherwise TO remain
in full force and effect.
If the court be satisfied by informa
ton and due proof under oath at any
time during the year that the defendant
has violated the terms of such order, II
may forthwith proceed to the trial OF the
defendant under the original Indictment
or sentence him under the original con.
viction, as the case may be. In the cast
of forfeiture of a recognizance and en-
forcement thereof by execution, thu
sum recovered may in the discretion o
the court be paid in whole or in part i
the wife or to the custodian of th'
minor.
2. The corporation or hustings cour
of the cities and the circuit courts o

Ta Break up Nepotism.

Governor Montague on "Wednesday
signed a bill, having for its object the
breaking up of nepotism in the public
school system of the State, The measure,
it is understood, was suggested by the
State Board of Public Education, along
with large number of. other measure
affecting the public school system.
The gist of the bill is found in the fol-
lowing extract therefrom "No district
school board shall employ or pay any
teacher from the public funds if said
teacher is the brother, sister, son q
daughter of any member of said toard'
Any member of any district board who
shall violate any of these provisions shall
be personally responsible to such teacher
| for his salary"
1t is said that many OF the county
school boards have fallen into the evil O.
appointing their near relatives as teacher
and that in many instances it has mil:
tated against the best results in tn
| schools.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science mas
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation Of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as

While the Wilson Palmer committee is
lending its influence in the commits

Legislative candidates who are sup
porting other senatorial candidates,
the other senatorial candidates are not
idle, but are laying their plans accord

pie-cOunter opens the plain road for

commission measure through the cleo

Bates Goes to Jail.

J. L. Bates. convicted last Saturday
night on a charge of bribing a grand
juror, and who was out on bail, at
tempted to escape last night or this
morning. He was prevented, however.
from getting away, and this morning
his bondsmen delivered him up, and
he is now in the federal Jail
The circumstances of the attempt to
escape are shrouded in more or less
mystery. Bates it is said, hired
small "windjammer, and when found
he was aboard the vessel. There was
no wind. it is claimed, hence the
schooner could not get out.
1t is also stated that Bates bonds
men have kept a man watching him
for some time past, but he gave them
the slip.
This morning Bates attorneys
moved for a new trial, and the de-
cision was to have been given at I
o'clock. At that time the case was
continued until p. m.
Bates was also arraigned this morn
ing on a charge Of receiving goods to
which he entered a plea of not guilty.
Bates was formerly a Seattle pa
trolman.
