Damage Suits.

Some months ago the country was
startled by series of sensational articl-
es in a magazine, in which it was shown
that damage suits had become protfeS-
sion in America, and that large num-
her of men made comfortable living by
means of "accidents'-not the class OF
lawyers popularity known as ambulance
chasers." but those who met with the
accidents. Just as in the middle aged
children were deformed, rendered blind,
lame. halt or humpbacked so as to ar
ouse the pity of the public and obtain
sufficient charity to provide their lazy
narents with living without working,
60 there are today persons who find da-
mage suits SO profitable an industry for
themselves that they are willing to risk
!. fall from train or even the loss OF
limb if it will assure good fat verdict
,nop which they can Afterwards live in
comfort, peace and idleness. The story
,on,ded so sensational and ''yellow"
that the public would have been inclined
20 accept it as manufactured out
.,hole cloth had it not been clearly
snown by the confession of some of the
a.ofessionals themselves that many ac-
r;dents were ''put up jobs on the rail-
~aad factory or other concern, from
Itch it was designed to extract money.
The evidence on this point was SO con-
a,usive as to leave no doubt in the minds
81 any one that this new industry was
established here. 1t has. as

STRIKES POPULAR CHORD.

The Norment bill, putting the
the penltentiary under three COM
missioners and charging them
with the management of this
branch of the state government,
IS meeting with graf favor. Phe
Meridian Star which, like the
News, has not endorsed the one
man idea in management, en-
dorses the Norment bill, and in
discussing the provisions Of the
measure says:
'That seems to US a reasonable
and desirable provision. 1t

duct; it gives the members speci-

enough to create friction in the
administration. | makes h G

countable to some Immediate au-
thority, which is infinitely pre-
ferable TO the Oneman power
proposed by the new code.
1.-The Star believes that reform
in the penitent tiary homogeneous
is imperatively demanded. and
Mr.. Norment's bill seems to meet
the necessities of the case.
The Norment measure has met
with hearty approval on all sides.
1t is rational and to the point. 1t
takes it out of the politics of the
state. Under the Norment bill
there should be no reason why
the peniteEtiary should not con-
tinue to be a financial success,
and, at the same time, cause
considerably less friction than in
the past, The salary is sufficient
ly large to attract to the service
of the state as com m S on r S
good men WHO would have only
the interest of the state to look
after. The News, like the Star,
believes that the Norment bill is
just and proper solution of the
difficulties.-Jackson enlng

A Disorder that Breeds Dis ease in the Body, and an Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care of the stomach and you will have little need for the doctor.

It strengthens the digestive organs, cures constipation and prevents the return of bilious conditions.
 Thousands of people who have re- ceived lasting benefit from this great remedy willingly testify to its power in curing indigestion, constipation and kid ney trouble.
 II suffered from constipation for years, and tried many remedies but Prickiy Ash Bitters is the only medicine that has ever done me any good. Through its use am now in good health and entirely free from all traces of my former troubles-B. P. STIeALL, wiunsboro, Louisiana.

Roaonips in Indian Country.

One of the heaviest pogonips that
has prevailed in western Nevada for
many years has been hanging over the
vicinity of Carson for the last few days
Reno also reported a severe pogonip
one day this week, and similar reports
come from the little towns below Car
son. The Indians greatly fear these
visitations, as they say that many Of
their people die if they last for many
days.
Pogonip is the Indian name for n
peculiar fog that occasionally visits
the mountain country during the win
ter months. The sun is obscured, u.s.
ually during the entire day. n some
times for days, while the air is charg-
ed with a heavy fog in which fine par
ticles of snow seem to be flying. AL
though the temperature, may not be
low, intense cold is felt on account of

DIES FROM
HER BURNS
BESSIE HORTON VICTIM OF DIS
TRESslNG ACCIDENT AT HER
HOME FRIDAY EVENING,
Oil Spilled on Floor When Lamp Was
Filled lgnited by Breaking Match
and Maiden So Badly Burned That
Death Came Five Hours Later
To Be Buried in Kansas.

Bessie Horton, the ~13-year-old
daughter of G. E. Horton, night watch
man in the Union Pacific yards, died
at l o'clock this morning, at the home
of her father, on Third street. from
the effects of burns received last night
at Z o'clock, and the remains will be
taken to Salina, Kas., tonight for in
terment beside the remains of her
mother, who died some years ago.
The accident is n of the most dis
tressing ever recorded in the city.
Mr.. Horton has two children, the
other being a son, Elmer Horton, now
about to manhood, who is employed
at night in the shops, his father being
the watchmen in the yards at night.
Bessie was the only daughter, and was
at home at the time of the accident.
From an ante-mortem statement
made last night, the girl a filling a
lamp with kerosene, and spilled some
Of the oil on the floor. She paid little
attention to this, and when she struck
a match to light the lamp the match
broke in two, the lighted end falling
in the oil on the floor under her feet
and in an instant communicating to
her clothing. Bessie ran screaming
from the Dom into he street, running
on the sidewalk as far as Willis Jen-
sens gate and thence into the street,
her clothing afire. She was seen by
Mr.. Jensen, who rushed to her help
in his stocking feet. Bernard Feath-
erstone, the deputy clerk of court, was
on his way down town from his home
n heard the child scream. He went
to her assistance, trying at the time
to remove his o%yercoat that he might
wrap it about her. Having but one
arm, he was not able to get the gar
ment off in time, but was soon Joined by
Mr.. Jensen with his overcoat and
Joe LaPeen with a blanket, and they
wrapped these about the maiden,
~smothering the fire. She vas carried
into the house and Drs. Ballard and
Tebbetts called, who did what they
could, the girls suffering being in
foot, her body brown and plistered,
and her clothing almost burned off.
The girl received every assistance
possible from the surgeons and neigh
bors, but the burns were so severe
that she could not survive the shock,
n after midnight the end came.
Mr.. Horton, directly after the acct
dent, telegraphed to his brother, Sher-
if Horton, at Rawlins, and to his
sister at Salina, Kas., the sad news of
the accident. The body of the unfor-
tunate maiden was given into the
charge of Undertaken Stryker, who
prepared it for burial, and it will be
sen to Salina tonight. Miss Horton
was a most lovable girl, the real house
they and the other relatives will re-
ceive the sympathy of their friends in
