power by special interests.
The successful conclusion in Wis

eTysyhere5to have faith in the ultimate
Of the people, when the
truth becomes known to them. A
primary election law promised in
three successive platforms, defeated
q succeeding legislatures was final
submitted to the people and
Sa1opted by a large majority. The dis
eusslons of more equitable taxation.
ssofss property of public service cor
sporations8 resulted in securing from

seuressa large annual increase in rev

isclared themselvesain in favor Of rail

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. To-
The fact that Missouri surprised the
the country by swinging into the Re

cause President Roosevelt 10 recon

1t is the general concensus of
opinion that the Legislature will
be disposed to grant the World s
Fair Bureau the additional APP
preparation asked for, which is
SIS, 900. It was well understood
at the last session of the Legis-
lature that it was desired to APP
propriate more than $50, 900, but
the leaders were of the opinion
then that $4,000 was about as
much as that Legislature would
stand for, hence the bill was
amended and made to read $780,
600 instead of the larger amount
contained in the original bill.
There is a disposition among
some of the members to fight
the additional appropriation, but
it is not believed that it will be
strong enough to prevail. With
$50, 900 to make an exhibition,
and $4,000 for the building in
which the exhibit will be housed,
Mississippi will have a fine ex-
hibit and one that should attract
a great deal of attention. When
the report of the Worlds Fair
Bureau is laid before the Legis-
lature in it's entirety the mem
bers will be in a position to act
with intelligence on the request
of an additional appropriation.
Mr.. P. w. Maer, one of the
representatives in the Legisla-
ture from this district has been
appointed member of the com.

leges; also is a member of the

To Abandon M. & O. Branch.

Again therumor is being cir
culated that the Southern Rail
road Company, having control of
the branch M. & 0. road from
Artesia, contemplates the aban-
donment of the branch and trans
fer the business of that road to
the Southern. The reason given
out for this change is that the
heavy freight traffic of the pres
ent season necessitates the use
of another bridge, the present
structure being inadequate. In
this connection, it is said, the l.
&c. will offer to purchase the
branch road, thereby being en-
abled to tap the coal regions of
Alabama by way of Columbus.
The latter company has made
previous efforts to establish a
road through this territory, and
some years ago went to the ex-
pense of having a route survey
ed. However, for some reason
the project was abandoned, and
since then has watched with en-
vious eyes for an opportunity to
carry out it's aims.

Rumors that Japan has accept

cotton market yesterday. Trad

mand quite outnumbered the of
ferings and high prices were
maintained. Traders of both per-
