it was the purpose to corrupt the
legislature and to prevent the passage
of elevator laws, and that 1T was
done for the association.
Far-reachng Effect Likely
1t is believed that the disclosures
in the legislature two years hence.
During the past few sessions theater
tickets and banquets were being used
to control members and prevent the
passage OF laws demanded by the
farmers 1t was charge similar In
nature which was made by Repre-
sentative William Ernst against the
lobby which was working for the de-
feat of the bill for the establish
ment of twine plant at the state pen
itentiary. AS result of his charges
a boycott was declared against him
by his fellow members.
Policy Was General
The policy confessed by Worrall
has been employed very generally
during the legislative sessions to
secure or prevent legislation. The
larger corporations have maintained
lobbyists whose main duty was to
keep closely in touch with members
through the liberal use of an enter
tainment fund, and then when the
time came to vote they were in po-
sition to count on friends. Numer-
Gus instances of that plan of pro-
cedure were witnessed during the re-
cent session when members would
break quorum in committee or
on the floor of the house at the be-
hest of a corporation friend who had
a bill which he wanted to defeat.
Entertainment Agents
These entertainment agents of the
different interests spend thousands
OF dollars during an ordinary session
of the legislature, and as a result the
members of the legislature who
should be at work furthering the pub
tic work spend their evenings in en-
joyment and place themselves under
such obligations to the lobbyists that
they can vote for measures demanded
by the people of the state only when
public sentiment is SO thoroughly
aroused that they dare not defy it.
By the time the members are supplied
with passes for all of the sidetrips
which they wish to make, they find
their time so fully occupied that the
serious work of legislation is left in
the lurch and the corporations have
an easy time killing the bills they do
not care to see passed.
Those Who Furnished Money
The more important portions of
Mr. Worrall's testimony follow:
Witness was asked to tell some
thing more of the work done at the
meeting of the Nebraska Grain
Dealers association following the
session of the legislature of 1903.
WELL said the witness, 81 made a
report as chairman of the committee
on legislation, touching our work to
defeat any and all legislation inimical
to the interests of the association"
Who composed that committee?''
Mr.. Trompen of Hickman. Mr..
Steinmyer of Latonia and myself"
Did you expend any money dur
ing that session for the purpose you
have indicated, and if so, how much ?''
I'VE expended between $4,000 and
$4,000
"Who furnished that money, and
was it cash or by check?"
Different individuals put up the
money. got it all in the form of
checks, except 500, which was hand

tary, who told me he had received it

THE GOVERNOR ARRESTS
A FLEEING MURDERER,
CAPTURED A DOUBLE MURDER
Err ON THE Y. 6 M. v. TRAIN
BORROWED A PISTOL FROM
THE CONDUCTOR AND FORCED
THE DARKEY TO SURRENDER

While returning to the capital Satur-
day night on the southbound Yazoo 4.
Mississippi Valley train Governor Var
daman arrested a negro named Jim
Hannah, charged with committing a
double murder at Milestone, in Holmes
county.
The Governor was riding in the rear
coach and had been engaged for seyeral
minutes In conversation with the con-
ductor, Mr. William Molcs, when thea
talk was interrupted by racket in the
negro coach just ahead. The Governor
and the conductor went forward to in
vestigate and found an old negress cry
ing over the killing OF her daughter.
which had occurred several hours pre-
yiously at Milestone.
The woman was asked to tell her
story, and did so, saying that the killing
was committed by negro named jim
Hannah, who had previously been pay
ing attentions to her girl. It seems that
the girl had recently been married to
another negro, and the killing was the
result of jealousy, Hannah staying both
the girl and her husband.
"Why, I've got that very negro on
my train," exclaimed Conductor Moles.
ale got on only a few miles back. Go
and arrest him, Governor"
After brief parley the Governor
took the conductors pistol and went to
the negro smoking compartment where
Hannah was sitting. He covered the
darkey with the gun and compelled him
to surrender. When searched 1t was
found that Hannah had big pistol on
his person, being the same weapon with
which he had committed the double
murder. The Governor turned his priso-
ner over to the sheriff at Yazoo City,
and Hannah was taken to Lexington
Monday morning and positively identi-
fed as the guilty party.

is as follows:-

spirit OF the business people Of Pearl

due to be hanged on the 18th OF next
month, expects to be taken to the Yal-

he stated that he did not know about the
game business, but that he would do
what he could under the circumstances
and would die as nicely as he could with
rope choking the life out Of him. One
Of the other prisoners who was being
taken out to be carried to Grenada for
trial said in bidding goodbye to Gam
mons, that he was going to be married
in few days, and wished that he, Gam
mons, could be present. "Well," said
Gammons, ard like to be with you, but
I'm goiug to step off in rev days my
self" That is the Grimmest piece Of
humor that has been perpetrated in these
parts in many day.

THE PUBLIC MONEY.
How 1t Comes aud Where Goes.

The people OF Miss,ssippi are anerd
ing more money for their common
schools and higher institutions of learn
ing than probably any State in the
south, but the people of the State win
oe surprised to learn that nearly every
cent OF money that they pay into the
state treasury in the shape Of direct
taxes goes for schools and colleges. and
70 pay the expenses of the benevolent
institutions and pensions for old SOL
aiers. Tho State mas good many
sources OF revenue other than the collec-
ton OF taxes from the people OF the
state on their real and personal pron-
'erty' The penitentiary pays into the
Sbate treasury, net, after paying all its
expenses and keeping up improvements
Obs. The insurance department
pays into the treasury 100000; the
sale OF swamp lands through the land
commissioners office $53, 600; the sccre-
tary OF State $4,000; and the State
revenue agent S37,6i173. This totals
up to $292,95l.B. The appropriations
for all the State officers and all the az.
penses incident to running tho State
government, outside Of the items men
toned above, footup to S267 ,06i, which
gives a balance of $50, ,s9o.73.
This outside revenue not only pavs
the expense Incident to running the
State government, but 1t pays the sala.
ries OF all the judges and chancellors in
the State, and still leaves balance Of
twenty-five thousand dollars to apply ON
pensions. These figures have been OBJ
tanned from the officials themselves and
are reliable. OF course, when the leeis-
lature meets, there is the expense of
this body which must come out of tho
taxes paid in by the people, as it costs
between eighty and ninety thousand
dollars a session. Jackson Evening
