being an aged lady, the shock was quite

ARRIAGE LAWS IN CODE
 OF MISSISSIPPI CONFLICT

Jackson Miss, Oct IA cuflouS contradiction in the new marriage law as passed by the last legislature, and as if will appear in the new code. will bring into question the legality of many common law marriages.
 The legislature made the trouble by trying to make all marriages legal. One of the provisions toward doing this was in making common law mar riages binding. providing that the man and woman acknowledged themselves as man and wife before witnesses.
 On the other hand, the code com missioners, working toward the same end. incorporated the provision max ing licenses essential 10 the validity of all marriages. no exceptions,
 Under the law, as it is now written in the code therefore, parties who go before a justice of the peace or minister of the gospel and marry without a license are not married. and vet the same parties might have mar ried without minister justice or liz cense, under another section of the code. Just which marriages are legal, and which illegal, is hard 10 deter- mine.

Frankfort. Ky, Oct 17,-Bookef T. Washington of TuskO=ee institu5e took part today in exercises commemorate in- the twentieth anniversary Of Ken sucky Industrial school for colored persons. making three speeches dur ing the day 10 about two thousand of his race gathered from all over the state. Washington devoted his re- marks mainly to the education of the negro in the southland, urging upon them that they be industrious.
 Tn the course of his remarks he said
 T hope that more and more white people of America will learn to dis crinminate between negroes. It should constantly be borne in mind that there are two classes among us. The whole race should not be con- lemned for a few worthless ones. How often do We hear that the negro would not work. is immoral and can- not be depended upon? Such remarks are unjust and usually mean that there is an element in the race that will not work, is immoral and cannot be depended upon. Every communi iry in the south has a number Of ne- groes who are reliable. moral. indus trious. and speaking of them the worthless element Of the race should come discouraged. want our people differentiate it encourages worthy ones who become more worthy I am anxious in this season of difficulty and trial that our people do not be come discouraged. want our people 10 know that there is a large element of the white race in the south that are interested ill our progress and mean to see that justice is mered ont to our people.

ScoFFERS Often Make the Staunchest Converts

The man who scoffs at an idea or doctrine which he does not fully under . stand has at least the courage to show where he stands
 The gospel of Health has many con- verts who formerly laughed at the idea that coffee and tea, for example, ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into the matter seriously, often at the sugges- tion of a friend, such persons have found that Postum Food Coffee and a friends advice have been their salya tion.
 My sister was employed in an east ern city where she had to do calculat. ing" writes an Okla. girl. "She suf- fered with headache until she was al most unfitted for duty.
 Her landlady persuaded her to qui' coffee and use Postum and in a few days she was entirely free from head ache. She told her employer about it, and on trying it, he had the same ex- perience.
 My father and have both suffered much from nervous headaches since 1 can remember. but we scoffed at the idea advanced by my sister, that cof- fee was the cause of our trouble
 However. we quit coffee and began using Postum. Father has had but one headache now in four years, due to ! severe cold, and have lost my head aches and sour stomach which I am now convinced came from coffee.
 "A cup of good hot Postum is satis flying to me when l do not care to eat a meal. Circumstances caused me to locate in new country and feared would not be able to get my favoriie drink, Postum, but I was relieved .C find that a full supply is kept here with a heavy demand for it."

A copy of the Daily News Herald of Joplin. Mo, has been received here, giving an account of Une funeral os the late John J. Hutchison. who died | in Phoenix on November 18th and was | buried in Fairview cemetery in Joplin. | November 25th. The funeral was held in the First Christian church of which he was member. It was largely at tended and the ceremonies were most impressive and befitting, as the last ! testimonial of an army of friends who had known a most deserving and ac- complished young man the greater par, of his short but very useful life He was born and reared in Joplin. grad uating from the high school there in 1895. after which he took up the pro- fession of teaching school. He was employed in the Joplin schools for sev- en years. or until i'll health forced him 10 seek the great west in the hope of restoration.
 He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and his funeral was under the auspices of that order. being at tended by about 150 of his lodge breth- ren. The service was conducted by 1 | l@. Kas, himself a member of the order. and the minister who had officiated at the marriage of MT. and Mrs Hutchi- son a number of years ago. The floral offerings were many and beauti- ful and the music was furnished by a special double quartet of friends of the deceased.
 Five years ago Mir. Hutchison re- signed the principalship of a Joplin school and went to Colorado in search of health. but still retained his prop erty interests in Joplin which he all ways considered his home. From Col orado he went to Salt Lake City, where he was associated for a time with d hardware firm. Feeling somewhat i'm proved, he again resumed school work. but failing health again forced him to give it up, and both he and Mrs Hutchison then went to Los Angeles for a short time and from there came to Phoenix.
 After coming here he improved for a season and was associated with the management of the ostrich farm. while Mrs. HutchlsOn became a most capa- ble and valuable member of The Re-

 Last July he went to Prescott tG avoid the enervating summer iweathel but he grew gradually worse and re- turning to Phoenix his decline was steady until the end except for occa- sional days of temporary improvement He met the end with fortitude and un- complainingly and his untimely death was deplored by host of Phoenix friends.
