lature. So far, I am unable to learn
just what any of the very excellent
gentlemen who are candidates for
speakership represent as touching
these matters, or any other. But, if
it is possible, I will know, before I
cast my vote. It would be exceed
ingly unfortunate to have the legis-
lature organized to promote the per-
sonal ambition of any man, or, in the
interest of any faction, or section.
! trust that most members take a
similar view, and that we will elect a
speaker with reference alone to what
he represents, and his fitness for the
position; and without regard for his
Noel or anti-Noel proclivities; and
without engendering animosity, fac
tionalism, or any conditions that
would cripple the harmonious work
of the Legislature for the public good.
And in this connection, without a
spark of prejudice to the claims of
Mr.. Quinn, who is very excellent
gentleman, there is very small paper
with great big name: East Missis-
sippi Times,v published at Starkville.
i suppose the editor is ashamed Of his
job, he withholds his name, but in an
effort to boost Mr. Quinn he uses the
following language: 'It is true that
the last speaker, Mr.. Thomas, was
lobbied in by the heelers Of the gov
ernor, to the disgust of the people.
The manhood of the legislature should
have resented this usurpation but did
mott
Now it seems this fellow did not get
what he wanted before, and unless
somebody heads him off, is likely to
do Mr.. Quinn more harm than good.
For certainly Mr.. Thomas, Gov. Var
Vardaman, and the members of the
last legislature have host of friends
throughout Mississippi, and these in
complimentary remarks are not cal
culated to enlist their sympathies.
Now I remark, en- passant, that /
do not believe Mr.. Quinn inspired this
attack upon the incoming governor,
the outgoing governor, the last legis-
lature, it's honored speaker, and. pret-
ty much everybody else. To say
nothing of the fine qualities of head
and heart he is known to possess, he
is too shrewd a politician, and is no
doubt praying to be delivered from
such friends. But the language Of
our unknown friend, and other in
temperate talk being indnlged in, Is
not the sort best calculated to pro-
mote peace and good will, and should
be suppressed.

Editor Times-Promoter:
The contest for the speakership of
the house begins to warm up consid-
erably. The fight, it seems, is being
waged not directly by any two of the
candidates for the speakership, but
between the friends of one of the can
didates, Hon. HI. nj. Quinn, and the
friends of Gov. -elect e. F. Noel.
The argument, on one side, seems
to be about this, "if you voted for
Mr.. Noel for governor, you should

{ Work has been mans lot since the creation, but a day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is it. then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork. to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain is thrown upon the vital organs. and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork-the strain upon the back that is so com mon to many trades and occupations. is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system. and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 ! Pain in the back is only warning of trouble in the kidneys. An inflam- nation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.
 Too much or too little urine, with a constant desire to void the secre- tions: any noticeable deviation from the normal color: the appearance of sandy sediment, proves a disor-

''This dreadful outrage was undounf- edly the work of a crank No sane man would do such deed" said Mir. McKenty, director of public safety, who made a personal investigation. q do not think the man was an an- archist, as has been suggested. He was just crank.
 With the finding of the personal ef- fects of the man who threw the bomb there is little doubt left in the minds of the police that he was Rollo Steele of Garner, Ia.
 The bomb thrower was found to have slept Friday night at the Grant House, hostelry on the outskirts of the Tenderloin.
 When detectives searched the room they found several yards of slow fuse, number of detonating caps, re- volver, box of cartridges in the grip. together with number of tools aud some clothing. There was @ suit bear ing the tag of Chicago clothing house and pair Of overalls marked with the name of Lynchburg (Ea.) merchant.
 A Lynchburg report says that Steels worked there as 8 concrete construc- lion foreman for seyera! months, and when Mrs. Steele and q ten-year-cid son were seen at their home there she said that, Steele left there Thursday morning. telling her that he was going to Danville, Va, to secure worf on 6 railway construction contract.

SMOKE RAlSULI OUT
Sultan of Morocco's Troops Chase Bandit to Mountains.
GABBAS WANTED "RAISULI DEAD" !"
War Minister Had Rebel Forces sur- rounded, but They Managed to
 Elude Capture-General Bag dadi Is Wounded.

TAEGIER, Jan. 7.-Zinat, Raisuli's stronghold, was virtually destroyed by fire and fell into the hands of the troops of the sultan at noon after 8 short and almost blOodless fight.
 Raisuli and bis 700 followers sue ceeded in eluding capture and reaching the mountains despite the elaborate plans of War Minister Gabbas to pre- vent their escape.
 It is reported that General Bagdadi, chief of the sultan's army. was wound ed while leading the attack,
 No rtring took place during the night, but it 10 o'clock in the morning the artillery, under command of an Al geriau native lieutenant, whom the French authorities permitted to partici- pats in the battle or request of War Minister Gabsas, opened fife OF :Ee town.
 The Moorish gunners showed utter incapacity in handling their guns, and the infantry fired haphazard. Two shells dropped inside the fastness with out reply. and thereupon q body of the sultan's troops charged, shouting, and reached the walls amid desultory shots from the surrounding brush. s The gates to the town were found to be open, but there were no occupants of the place except fifteen prisoners, including among whom were four Por- tuguese.
 A detachment of the government troops continued for some hours firing in the direction of the mountains, where RaisuIi and his followers were observed fleeing.
 Meanwhile the other government troops pillaged the stronghold. secur- ing considerable booty in the shape of costly carpets. arms, cattle and sheep.
 No fatalities in the fighting are re- ported, though few persons on both sides were wounded It is thought probable that the Raisulites carried on their dead.

WHOLE FAMILY FOUND DEAD.
George H. Devino. His Wife and Foul
 Children Asphyxiated.

Children Asphyxfated.
 BURLINGTON, Vt, Jan. Through some unknown manner. but probably by way of sewer pipe, Illuminating gas entered the house of George H. Devino. grocery clerk, at Winooski some time during the night and as phyxiated the entire family of six per sons, consisting of the father, mother and four children.
 While all were dead when Devinos brother broke into the house. 1t was thought that the father had been arous- ed and was attempting to make his escape when he was overcome, his body being found on the floor beside the bed with the mouth stuffed with cotton batting. The children were Isabell, five years; Madeline. three years; Vonne J.. two years, and Cecilia, i've months.
 The Devino house is not connected with the gas main. but as the odor was very noticeable about the closets and sink drains it is believed that the gas came from a break in the main and entered the house through the regular sewer connection.

Brownsville Anair In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-The discus sion of the episode in Brownsville. Tex, which resulted in the discharge from the service of three companies of negro troops by the president. con tinues to be the topic of paramount in- terest in the senate. The question came up today. a,d present indications are that it will continue to hold front place on the calendar for three or four days. The introduction of Senator Lodges amendment to Senator For aker's resolution has had the effect of injecting a great deal of new matter into the discussion and of shifting the debate from the mere question of facts in connection with the Brownsville af- fair to the subject of the general right of the president to dismiss soldiers from the army.

THREW BOMB FROM "L" STATION

Attempt to Kill sylvester Cimiluca,
 Victim of Vendetta.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Three persons were seriously injured and many oth- CTS narrowly escaped when bomb was thrown just before Il o'clock at night from the northbound station of the Second Avenue Elevated road in Forty-second street.
 The bomb was undoubtedly thrown with the intention to kill Sylvester Cimiluca, fruit dealer, who has been active in the prosecution of a woman now in the Bedford home charged with murder.
 No trace of the bomb thrower was found, but investigation of the circum- stances and the statement of the fruit dealer made 1t virtually certain that some friend of the woman hurled the explosive from the stairway leading to the uptown station.
 Cimiluca will lose one arm, if his injuries do not prove more serious. Mrs. Mary Bailey was an innocent victim of the affair, as was Giorgio, 8 fifteen-year-old son of Cimiluca.
 Mrs. Bailey was on her way home from market and had stopped to buy fruit, when the bomb fell directly be- tween her and the fruit dealer. Both were hurled from their feet, while showers of glass fell about them. Their faces and hands were cut by the flying glass.

 Beyond stopping at not conspicu- ous hotel in the suburbs Mir. Corey has taken no special pains to hide his movements or to conceal the fact of his engagement to Miss Gilman. She and MT. Corey, accompanied by Miss Gilman's mother, take daily automo- bile trips in the Bois de Boulogne, and MT. Corey frequently dimes with mother and daughter at some fash ionable restaurant. He is usually ac- companied by American friends, and sometimes after dinner they attend the theater or opera.

 Those are different words" he said. from the kind we have been hearing lately. It seems odd to us to think of a public servant regarding his post as anything but plum tree. We have here another proof that man really honorable can never become rich.
 Judge Thayer was an honorable man. First as lawyer, afterwards as judge. he treated all with whom he had dealings with the greatest fair ness. Once. years ago, after he had served me we'll in difiicult case, | remonstrated with him about the, smallness of his fee.
