Sanders Pardoned.

Robert Sanders, who holds the rec
ord of being the only man in the
state penitentiary to have escaped
twice and to have each time volunta-
rily returned to the prison and re-
sumed his stripes, has been issued a
pardon by Governor Vardaman. San
ders is a white man, and the pardon
was made by the governor on a pc
tition signed by the judge, prosecut-
ing attorney and many other promi-
nent citizens of Lafayette county,
from which he was sent up on March
3rd, 1900, on the charge Of man
slaughter for term of ten years.
Sanders spent very little of his time
III the penitentiary. He made his es-
cape on March 20, 1901, and volun-
tarily returned to prison Jan. 26,
1908. He became dissatisfied, how
ever, and left on Sept. Z, 1908, but
being an escape did not suit him, so
he returned of his own free will on
Sept. 18th, 1908.

In Old TiInes.


Once kings did all the work of gov
ernment. Thus. we hear of King SOL
omon acting as Judge and jury. Kings
went to war and led their armies OH
to victory or defeat. Later certain
mobiles thought they should have some-
thing to do with the government. and
finally their claims were granted. Still
later certain landed gentlemen deemed
it only right that they should have a
voice in government, since they had
large interests that were affected, and
this claim was granted. Later on all
men claimed the right to have some
voice in government and this was
granted. During all this time women
were entirely overlooked. Now the
women think they should have voice
in government, vote, since they have
as large interests at stake as men, and
this seems to be a reasonable conSlu-
ZION.

FILIPINOS EAT DOG MEAT.
Steak From a Canine Cured Case of
Pneumonia.

st. Louis.-Beginning on April
Fools Day all stray dogs in st. Louis
will be served daily to members of
the Igorrote and other tribes of Fill
pinos at the World s Fair. Arrange
ments to this effect have been COM
pleted at the office of the dog pound.
The Igorrotes, who at home are head
hunters, are very fond of dog meat,
and today threatened to strike unless
served with their favorite flesh. Ac-
cording, stray dogs, instead of suffer
ing death by asphyxiation, will be
slaughtered, dressed and roasted, fried
boiled, grilled or fricasseed to suit the
peculiar taste of the Igorrotes.
On their arrival at st. Louis re-
Gently the 800 Filipinos suffered from
pneumonia. After a native council
had been held, it was decided by the
Filipinos that the absence from their
daily diet of dog meat was the cause
of their suffering from pneumonia.
One of those suffering with pneu-
monia by the aid of friends, managed
to secure piece of broiled dog steak.
He recovered. This coincidence the
Igorrotes called an example of cause
and effect. They appealed to Mr.. Hea-
ly, who acts as their butler, Mr.. Hea-
ly applied to the dog pound Office and
secured permission to take all the
stray dogs he wanted for the table of
the Filipinos.
The skins of the dogs may be used
by the Igorrotes for their abbrevi-
ated costumes, as they refuse to dress
in American conventional style.

but this money cannot be refunded by
the Auditor until the bill making an
appropriation for that purpose goes

failed to contain the enacting clause
putting it into immediate effect, and it
cannot, under the law, take effect until
sixty days after its approval, which

HIGH NEGRO BIRTH RATE.
Makes the Liberia Transportation
Plan Impracticable.

Appleton, Wis-Rev. DIR. II. +. Nat
nell, Bishop of all the African mis-
sions of the Methodist Episcopal
church, says that transportation of
negroes to Liberia would be futile as
solution of the race problem be-
cause 600 to 500 negroes are born in
the United States daily and it would
take great shiploads daily to trans
port them. The question can be set
tied, he adds, only by keeping them
in this country, and by treating the
negro fairly and giving him all his
rights. He will demand attention for
the negro problem along this line at
the Methodist Episcopal Conference in
May at Los Angeles, Cal.

MAIL CARRIERS
ARE ANGRY.
OvERSTREET A MARK FOR DIS
PLEASURE.
WANT BETTER SALARIES
Because of Refusal of Chairman Of
House Committee on Post Office and
Post Roads, to Hear Bill Framed for
That End, Carriers Declare War.

Washington. The National Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers is on the
verge of declaring war on Chairman
0verstreet, of the House Committee on
Pcstof1ices and Post Roads. The pow
erful association, which is credited
with the overthrow of Mr.. Over
streets predecessor on the Postof1ice
Committee, is incensed at his refusal
to give consideration to the bill to
increase the pay of carriers. Mr..
Overstreet has already been warned to
profit by the fate of Mr.. Loud, and
that is what has caused all the trouble.
The new chairman is man Of consid-
cradle backbone and refuses to be
eoerced by the threats Of what the let
Ter carriers will do to him at the next
election if he does not hurry up and
pass their increase of pay bill. The
lobbyists of the carriers have been
about the Capitol ever since Congress
met, but up to the present they have
received little encouragement. Formal
declaration of war on Overstreet will
probably not be made until he finally
declines to give them and their case a
hearing. He will probably give the
carriers chance to state their case
in the course of couple Of weeks. In
the meantime the patience of the car
riers is rapidly oozing away, and with
adjournment in sight they have about
decided that nothing is to be done for
.hem at this session.

Triumps of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human boiy by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back. or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins;
antiseptic dressings are applied tn
wounds. bruises, burns and like injuries
before inflammation sets in. which
causes them to heal without maturation
and in one-third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamberlain Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t is
an antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries. causes them to heal very quick
ly. II also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money. not to mention the incon-
venience and suffering which such in
juries entail. For sale by p. ID. Colt
