FORTY-FOURTH DAY.

FOHTf-FOURTH DAY.
After a debate lasting for the past
three days at intermittent periods, the
lower house last week finally passed
the bill authorizing telegraph and tel
ephono companies to exercise the
right Of eminent domain There was
very strong opposition to the bill,
many members believing that the
semi.private OF quasi.public corpora.
tions should not thus have their lib.
critics enlarged
The appropriation bill for the In.
dustrial Institute and College. carry
ing an appropriation of s159,54S14 for
the biennial period, was passed. Mr..
Patterson introduced bill prohibiting
the sale OF tobacco to minors.
The senate passed the general ap-
preparation bill to defray the current
expenses Of the various departments
of State government for the next two
years, A measure was passed autnor.
izing boards Of supervisors to supple.
ment the State pensions by making
payments to pensioners from county
funds.
Good-by to Peruna.
The senate today passed bill pro.
hibting the sale of Peruna, Jamaica
bitters or remedies.
The vote on the bill was % to 12,
and although a motion TO reconsider
was entered, there Is little hope of
accomplishing the defeat Of the meas
uer when it Is again called up on the
motion
Much jocuarity and good natured
ibing took place in s.the-aisle
conversation during the discussion Of
the bill, and also in open debate One
member remarked that its passage
would be a direct insult to a certain
eminent Mississippian now in private
life, whose picture frequently adorns
the Peruna advertisements in daily
and weekly newspapers During the
discussion a few members asserted
that Peruna Is really valuable medi.
cine while others contended that if
persons want TO drink whisky that
they should use sood whisky and not
stuff that is doped up and sold under
the guse Of proprietary medicine
At any rate, If the bill passes the
house and receives the signature of
the governor, it is goodby to Peruna
and all similar drugs in Mississippi,
and there will be much weeping and
gnashing Of teeth in the dry towns.
where the local drug patent medicine
shelf is the popular resort of those
who love the cup that cheers. In
many of these towns honors are about
even between Peruna and Jamaica
ginger as the popular beverage, and
of late years certain kidney remedies
have entered into the lively competi
ton Alternated indulgence in these
compounds is said to produce the flerc-
est sort of jag, having a duration
much longer than that acquired by the
use of the common intoXicants sole in
wet" communities, and with the sale
of these prohibited it verify seems that
the lot of the boozer I2daed becomes

4 HOT CLASS WAR i
ON AT HAMLINE u
THE SOPHS' BANNER FLAUNTS
FROM LOFTY sMOKESTACK..
Freshmen Feel Deeply Afronted, but
When Their Scout Investigates, He
Is Bound Hand and Foot and Held
in Durance Vile-The Crisis Yet to
Come

War is being waged at Hamline uni
versity. The hostile forces are the
sophomores and the freshmen.
Feeling between the classes has been
slumbering ever since college opened,
about two weeks ago Saturday night the
"sophs, feeling that their rights and
privileges were being endangered by
the encroachments Of the freshmen, de-
clared their ownership of the univer-
sity and the entire suburb by float
ing their class flag from the lofty
smOkestack OF the university heating
plant. There it was discovered, pro-
claiming to the Hamline public, thru
the mists of Sunday morning, that the
class of 'O7 was master Of the situa-
tion.
At an early hour, despite the fact
that it was Sunday, the freshmen gath
cred, to wonder how the sophomores
high and how they, the freshmen, could
haul it down, and to consult upon
general plan Of campaign.
The freshmen were not allowed to
draw too near, however, the sophoromes
having mounted a color guard near the
base of the smokestack. This guard
was continued thru all of last night,
one or two men patrolled the place and
a strong reinforcement was within call
a few steps away in the gymnasium.
This morning the sophomore flag was
still Haunting it's challenge in the face
of the freshmen.
One freshman, who thought he could
spy out the situation, not knowing that
the gymnasium was occupied by the
enemy, hied himself thither. The enc
my fell upon him with a great shout,
which made him quake in his shoes,
bound him hand and foot and threw
him into the boilerroom, which they
had prepared for war prison. The
freshmen are momentarilv expected to
come to their companion s release.
The freshmen declare. that their flag
which now shows the colors of "H.
U. 'O7.'

STRICT ECONOMY
ASKS BOARD OF TAX LEVY TO BE
n%-- FRUGAL. &~>$ Z
City Department Claims Against the
City, He Says, May Be Trimmed
Board Begins Big Task Of DISTRIBUTE
ing Working Funds.

With masses of figures, annual re-
ports, estimates and tabulated state
ments in hand the board of tax levy
convened this morning for business.
Wallace G.. Nye, on behalf of the
Commercial club, preached a sermon on
economy. He called attention to the
fact that year ago this same board
had increased the tax levy by 20 per
cent. No right-thinking city, he sale,
any department hampered by lack Of
funds, but the demands from some de-
partments were pretty strong, and it
the estimates already made were al
lowed, there would be another increase
Of 20 per cent this year. This, he
thought, was not necessary.
Aldermen D. P. Jones, c. B. Holmes
to ask that the levy provide for an
item Of $4,000 with which to repay
the citizens who have advanced the
money required for, this city's share
in the twin city pavilion at the world s
fair.
c. A. Nimocks urged the board to
make larger appropriation for REFUND
ing excessive assessments for specia
improvements. The claims in this cate
CORY, now aggregate more than 100000
Much of it had been owing for ten anC
twelve years and it was hardly in keep
ing with the good name of the city te
pay these just claims in driblets. The
annual appropriation for several years
has been only $4,000.
The board of county commissioners
wants $461 ,665 to run the county anC
$444,58O if the building commission
takes charge Of the courthouse. II
either event the amount to be raised
by taxation will be $365,7S0.

PACIFIC WHEAT
COMING BY RAIL
ITS USUAL ROUTE REVERSED BY
SHORTAGE HERE.
Three Leading Grain Houses of Min
neapolis and Chicago Are Going At
ter the Western Product Vigorously
The Bringing In Of Western Wheat
Overland Is Unprecedented. +

One effect of the high wheat prices
ruling in Minneapolis has been the
turning inward or inverting of the Pa
cifc coast wheat movement. Three OF
the great houses of the grain trade
the Armour Grain companyuof Chicago,
Bartlett, Frazier & Co of Chicago and
the Van Dusen- Harrington company Of
Minneapolis have representatives on
the coast. e.:
The bringing of this wheat far over
land, in quantity, is unprece edented. At
times in the past little California or
north coast wheat has found its way
there, but such a movement is abnOr-
NAL. This year everything is turned
about and many of the old established
trade . rules 1ee are not t holding good: Usu,
finds it's way into ships at Portland,
Tacoma or Seattle, and goes around
the horn,' or down the Pacific and to
Great Britain by the Red sea and Suez
canal route.
The first radical departure came when
0 O'Callagan, the exporter, announced
that he was loading cargo to go
around Cape Horn and up to New York;
Chicago greenhouses have dipped in,
and probably 100000 bushels have
been bought by Minneapolis represen-
tatives alone.
1t costs about As cents freight to
make the long haul and lay the wheat
down at Minneapolis or Duluth. When
Minneapolis cash wheat was up recent
ly to $1.20 and higher, the Pacific coast
wheat, selling here 10 to IL cents lower,
could be taken in hand proftably at
times. Since then the Minneapolis
cash market has declined and disar-
ranged the differences, and the Pacific
coast has sold some cargoes to France
instead.
But the Minneapolis greenhouses are
on the alert and are prepared to move
their wheat overland in unlimited guam
tity SO long as there is anything in it.

FIGHT FOR A BOY.
Father and Divorced Mother Sue for
Custody of Son.

A determined fight for the possession
of an 1l-year-old boy was commenced
in Judge Elliott's s court this morning
by the lads father, John Allison,
against his mother Jennie Faltico.
The little fellow was given a private
audience by the court. II -,
In 1898 Judge Harrison granted a
divorce to Mrs. Allison and she was
given the boy. The mother has since
married John Faltico who runs a saloon
at Keegan s lake, where the boy is
living. The father now asks possession
of the lad on the ground that the boys

proper and immoral. The Falticos deny
these charges and desire to keep John
