TELLER AND HOPKINS CLASH.
Sharp colIoquy Occurs in the Senate
Over a Letter.

Sharp colIoquy Occurs in the Senate
Over Letter.
Washington, April ia sharp
colloquy occurred in the senate be-
tween Senator Teller and Hopkins,
growing out of the reading by Mr..
Teller of letter written by the late
General H. P. Thomas Of Chicago, at
lacking the civil service administra-
ton of the treasury department. Mr..
Hopkins took exception to the quoting
of the letter and declared that the
Colorado senator would be willing to
accept authority from the slums,"
whereupon Mr.. Teller declined to yield
further, declaring Mr. Hopkins
reference to the slums to be insulting.
The incident occurred in connection
with the discussion of the postoffice
appropriation bill. That measure was
under discussion during the first half of
the session and was passed, all amend
nlents offered by the Democrats being
voted down.
The bill providing a form of govern
ment for the Panama canal zone was
taken up but debate on it had not be-
gun when the senate adjourned.
A bill extending the United States
pension laws to the participants in the
Indian battles of New Ulm and Fort
Ridgley, Mimi, in 1862, was passed.

He Sold the Whisky.

Mike Rushe, who sells a good brand
of whisky in this section, tells good
one on himself. When Mike was Gel
lar man at San Francisco wholesale
house, the firm had a drummer who
greatly displeased a good customer.
It was Pat Brannan of Tulare. Now
Pat was a countryman of Mike Rushe,
SO the firm sent the latter out to square
things and once more get Brannan's
account. Mike went down to Tulare
and had several heart-to-heart talks
with his friend, but Brannan was OBJ
durate. His reply was:
cts no use, Mike; like you per-
sonally, but the devil of an order will
I ever again give your house,"
Still Mike fingered around, hoping
Brannan would reconsider. It was
Saturday and pay night. Brannan
had arranged with an itinerant fiddler
to play for the section hands, who
were great patrons of the wet goods
emporium when they were in funds.
The fiddler, however, had met with an
accident, and could not come. Bran
nan was in despair, and cried that he
would lose a big nights trade, for
though he was general favorite with
the railroad men, still they wanted to
be entertained, and Pats competitor
across the track had brought over a
fiddler from Visalia. Now here was
where Michael Rushe had chance to
shine.
:'Bring out your fiddle" said
Mike.
whats the use?" says Pat, "if
there's no fiddler. Sure, fiddle with
out a man to play it will do no good"
"Maybe a man could be found, but
he'd want pay" says Mike, craftily.
"Maybe could play it,
"You!'' says Pat.
''Why, yes; stranger things have
happened, and come from Donegal"
With that, Mike put the bow to the
fiddle and, to Pat Brannan, played
the sweetest music ever heard, for they
were the jigs and merry rollicking
reels and the folk songs of dear old
Ireland.
GLOW do you like it?'' says Mike.
Stay here and play for the boys"
says Pat, and name your own price,"
Well, the price ISL says Mike,
"that you give me an order for five
barrels of whisky
1t was a bitter pill for Pat Brannan
to swallow, but he finally yielded.

by the foreman and several of the
jurymen that an agreement was inn
possible. Special Attorney General

try the case at once.

Col. e. L. Russell, and number OF
other prominent officials OF the Mobile

the last Of the week, to make a trip
over the Houston road and into the
country west of Vardaman, the pres
ent terminal, ten or twelve miles,
which additional extension Is Dol to
be made. This will carry the line into
the central portion OF Calhoun county,
where there will doubtless be built a
good country town.
okolona is going to forget it, and
turn its attention to building up the
city and county and section Of the
state in which it is located. This town
stood it through Grant and Cleveland's
administrations and 1t can stand many
more. 1t will go ahead with the grand
work of a greater Okolona, a Greater
Southland and a Greater Nation, no
matter who is president, nor how much
the people want to be robbed by the
corporations and the politicians.
There are several surprises in store
for Okolona in the near future, n Of
which will make every merchant inthe
town rejoice. There is nothing the
matter with the old town except the
dust of it's age which is being swiftly
blown away under the current Of the
new vim recently inspired by its on
ward movement. Property in any
part Of the city is worth at least
25 per cent more today than it was six
months ago. And yet we might all do
more to push along.

Justly deserved. Our next regular

A grand Jury down in Georgia had

A grand jury down in Georgia had
recommended the printing for gem
eral distribution Of the names Of all
taxpayers and the amounts they give
in. We believe this would be emiD-
emily wise and effective, or, to speak
more precisely, wise because it would
be effective. If q mar when he gives
in his taxes knew that the amount was
going to be exposed for the whole
world to see he would give his con-
science more latitude and result would
be a decided increase in taxables. One
Of the loosest features of government
today is the slsck-twisted way in which
the taxing is done. Our state revenue
agent may work reforms with our
present laws, but will not reach the in
dividual tax payer much.

The reunion at Mobile, this week of
the Confederate soldiers of Alabama
drew to that little city thousands from
all over that state and many from
Mississippi. The weather was ideal,
the hospitality of that sort only to be
found by a southern city for the old
boys, and if there were any present
who failed to enjoy the festivities it
must have been due to some personal
want Of adaptability. It was really q
gala time for the city of sunshine and
bracing gulf breezes, laden with the

Catarrh POIsOns.

Catarrh is capable Of changing all the
life-giving secretions Of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and in
flame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places affect

soothe or quiet d~isagreeable symptoms.
