SESSION HAS BEEN
 EXTENDED ONE WEEK
Mississippi Legislature Will Continue Business Until Saturday by Proc
 lamation of Governor.

Jackson. Miss, April 15-As heretofore suggested he would do Governor Varda- rlan sent a proclamation to the legisla- ture today extending the session one more week It Is believed the work can be completed by that time-next Satur- day. Some predict an even earlier ad- journmenl but that is not possible. There Is entirely too, much code work to be done to get through before week hence. The enrolling force must work aghr and day to complete the work by hat time, as they have been doing all ] the week.
 Several Of the members have cashed in their warrants and have gone home. It is understood that a good many of them are not going to return at all. One of those who has shaken the dust of Jack son from his feet Is Senator Dunn of Meridian. He told his associates fare well. He has other business to be look ing after, and does not feel that he can afford to sacrifice his personal interests any longer. Senator Dunn is one of the most valuable members of the legislature. He is a hard and conscientious worker. He commands and holds the respect of all the other members, and no matter how they may differ with him on matters and questions of policy, they hold him in the highest respect and always express pro- found admiration for the man. There is

Water Fight On.

Gadsden. April 15.--(Special)--R. A. Mitchell has announced through his at torney that he will erect his water works plant in this city regardless of any ac- ton the city might take in building one of it's own. He further states that he has made every arrangement with construc- ton company for the erection of the plant and will begin the work as the city designates the streets in which the pipes are to be laid, according to the decision of the state supreme court recently rem dered.
 Mayor Smith is equally positive that the city will proceed to build its own water works and that there would be no delay in the work. Estimates and the final sur veys are being made and the contracts will be let within the next sixty days.
 The present water company has spent considerable money in Improvements at the pumping station and apparently ex- poets to c>ntinue in the water business also.

aiiliing Strength

A weak and exhausted con dition usually follows over- work, too close confinement, or unusual mental strain. Every day certain amount of vital ity is consumed, and if not re- plenished by sleep, rest and nourishment, soon wrecks the nervous system. The results are sleeplcssncss, headache, indigestion, imperfect circula- ton, etc, which affects the organs of the body.
 Restore your nerve strength your vitality, with Dr. Miles Nervine, and your whole sys- tenn will recuperate. Your sleep will be sound and re- freslling, headaches will dis appear, and digestion improve.
 'tWhen I began taking Dr. Miles in very bad condition. ! was weak and exhausted. and hardly able to keep ID. ] could not eat sufficient to keep up my strength. 1 suffered greatly from sleeples sness, and got very little rest. The Restorative Nervine soon brought refreshing sleep and I gained rapidly in strength until l was fully restored. I have since taken it whenever I have felt the need of nerve tonic. and always with very satisfactory results"

Must Consider Testimony.

Now, of course there is no law Of the
 mind compelling us to agree with these
 eminent men. to accept their testimony
 There Is no law of the mind compelling
 us to accept the testimony of anybody
 on any debatable subject. But fatly to
 reject bluntly to rule out in any case.
 the best testimony available in the cir
 cumstances. is to show oneself possessed
 rather of unscientifie perversity than of
 scientific cautionsness The large tracts
 of what may be called our extraordinary
 knowledge about ordinary or cxtraordi-
 nary things would shrink to very small
 pla;s if we rejected all the clements of
 it. depending simply and solely upon the
 experience of other people. and the testi-
 nsony of other people. whose veracity.
 competency. trustworthiness we are com
 pelled to take on faith
 It may be that Dr. Wallace. Dr. Say age. Professor James and the rest are
 wrong: that they did not actually expcri- enee what they claim to have experienced.
 That is entirely possible. These men
 arc fallible, and to be fallible means to
 be liable to error. But, certainly. it is
 not for any of us to say that their con
 clusion is unsupported by reliable data. It is not for us to say that they ac- cepted as facts what were not facts On the contrary if VIC would avoid what l have called unscientific perversity, We must conclude, at least. that probably
 they did expericene what they claim to have experienced, that probably such trained cautious. scientific investigators have not reported as facts what were
 mere fancies.
 The matter. then, stands thus: After repeated tests some evidence has appeal ,, ed to scientific investigators tending to establish personal life after death; and We are therefore not in the position of
 needing to hold to onr belief In the resurrection of the dead, despite the ut ter lack of scientific evidence in support of it. thanks to the work of the Psychic
 society that belief Is no longer without
 such evidence in its support and We may mol simply choose to feel. we are compelled 10 feel considering the charac- Ter and competency of ollr witnesses
 that the evidence supporting il is al any
 rate. probably true.
 This is great gain. For. if in order for our hearts to throb obedlent to the resur- rection hope our intellects were compell- l ed tor wave way some certitude Of
 science or If all available scientific evf- dence tended to inyalidate rather than l justify our hope. We might as honest | thinkers deem il our duty to renounce | that hope. and face without it life's losses. sorrows 1ongings, and perplexities: or. still holding to it declining to renounce lt we should have to do SO. subject to | the charge. that we chose stubbornly to

LOST THE BASS DRUM.
Absolute Proof That Such a Thinq Is
Possible,


The man who lost the bass drum has
been found.
Newspaper paragraphers have made
merry with the absent-minded man,
and he has been accused of all sorts
of deeds of omission and commission.
Therefore some of the stories told at
his EXPENSE have been taken in a
Pickwickian sense. The tale that a
man said he was so absent-minded
that at one time he lost bass drum
has always been considered a mere
joke.
Originally this story may have been
a fable, but now it Is true. A man
has actually lost a bass drum, and all
the members of ar Iowa band will
bear witness to the tact.
1t happened near davenport a few
Sundays ago. There was a celebra-
ton at Davenport and an up country
band had arranged to take part in the
festivities. The train stopped at tie
station just moment. and the men,
bers of the band piled into the smoker
with their instruments and their re-
gala.
Just as the train was moving away
fat, red-nosed man grasped the rail
and swung aboard. Then he turned
pale and gasped.
Where's my drum" he cried, as
his eyes bulged and his knees shook
Il saw it on the depot platform, "
said the trombone player
Suffering cornhusks. I forgot IT."
Davenport it labored under a handi-
cap, and the bass drummer was not a
popular member Of the aggregation.

on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female Complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-

suppression, causing backache, ner-

How distressing to see woman
