the commission, and will be one of
the leading candidates.

impression on the national leaders

VICTIM OF DRUGS.
Head Bowed 10 Knees Woman Sat on
Cot i'm Police Station.
(Tampa Tribune.)

(Tampa Tribune.)
Partially clad, her head bowed to
her knees, picture of abject distress,
young white woman sat On a cot in
one of the cells at police station last
night. During the day she was found
by the police sharing the accom-
modations of the horses in the stable
of the Triumph mills In a stupor
from what is supposed to be cocaine,
she could give no account of herself.
She was taken to the station. The
girl proved to be the daughter of J..
E. Mercer, who was hung here sever
al years ago for rape.
The case demonstrates very power
fully the shame of Tampa in having
no adequate hospital facilities for the
accommodation and treatment of
such unfortunates. In the station,
surrounded by vile-mouthed negro
prostitutes, the girl furnished an OBJ
lect lesson powerful enough to move
city to united action in providing
some other place for the reception of

LAST DAYS OF SESSION.
Yesterday the Lawmakers Were Hard
at Work.

Tallahassee, May 3O.-Tomorrow
the Florida legislature meets its con-
stitutional death. This, the fifty
ninth day of the session will be a
memorable one. The work of the
day carried TO its logical and final
conclusion must save a powerful eff
feet on the future political history of
the state. Briefly, the indications
point to probability of an extra SEES
sion of the legislature.
The senate amendments to the
house bill creating the investigating
commission virtually altered the bill
in many respects to a new measure
The Massey amendment, practically
discharging the members of the in
vestigating committee also to an ex-
tent nullifies the work they have done
so far.
The election by the senate and
house of the members of this COM
mission can hardly be construed
otherwise than that the present mem
bers of the committee are satisfactory
to the majority of the senate or that
it is desired that an entirely new
order be created.
The Hudson amendment adopted
and afterward reconsidered and with
drawn by motion of the author, was
considered by its opponents as in eff
| feet a direct call for an extra session,
should the governor deem the report
of the commission of such importance
as to demand consideration by the
legislature.
The bill now as amended is on the
| calendar under head of bills on third
reading In the natural course OF
events it cannot be reached except by
| waiver of the rules, this requiring
| tWO-thlrdS vote.
The senate meets at O'Clock to-
| morrow and unless the concurrent
resolution is revoked, adjourns sine
die at noon-three hours.
If the bill can be brought up and
passed, it must still have the con-
currence of the house in senate
amendments. Every effort to pass
the bill in its present shape will be
fought. Meanwhile important meas
ures of vital interest are pending and
must be disposed of. The result may
be, and in view of the work of today
no forecast can be made of an i'm
mediate extra session.
Senator Adams today in his op
position declared his position as I'M
alterably opposed to any extra ses
sion, declared the people did no
desire it and wanted the senate TO Df
iplaced on record. He affirmed ina

Interesting Letter issued from Pas

Portsmouth, Va, May 27. 1897
To Ticket Agents and Passenger
Representatives:-The following is
just published by the Chief of Ex-
ploitation OF the jamestown EXPOSE
ton, it being a quotation from the
Washington Cd. c. Herald of Thurs
day, May 9Th:
The jamestown Exposition, in its
splendid panorama of our marvellous
history, will soon unfold to the world
tale more wonderful and inspiring
than any other expositionin the annals
of man. In spite of handicaps such
as no other exposition management
has had to deal with, the men whose
Imagination, enterprise, and public
spirit conceived the big show at Nor
folk has wrought well and are de-
serving of high praise for their
| achievement. The exposition was
projected upon broad lines, and the
multitude of encouragement which
have from the beginning beset the
managers have not daunted their
courage or curbed their energies.
They have accomplished more with
the available capital at their disposal
than can justly claimed TO the credit
of the managers of other of our re-
cent international expositions. While
in some of its strictly structural as
poets the exposition has not yet at
tanned perfection, it is as nearly com
plete in that more or less negligible
regard as were any of its predeces-
sors at the corresponding period of
existence, and in this respect it is dis
tinctly far ahead of the St. Louis
Exposition, whose management had
to postpone for full year its formal
opening because of its inability to
bring the exhibition up to promise.
The Virginians have asked no
special favors from any quarter. They
have worked out their problem with
commendable and characteristic
earnestness and zeal. They deserve
credit instead of carping criticism and
facetious raillery for what they have
done. Their show commands itself
to the consideration and patronage Of
the whole country. A visit there
early will be of more educational
value than later in the season, when
the visitors attention will necessarily
be more or less diverted from the
exhibits by the throngs of thousands
that will crowd the grounds by day
and tax the housing accommodations
at night Norfolk is so accessible
by rail and water that, undoubtedly,
there will be a great rush of sight
seers after the busy season Of the
spring and early summer shall have
passed. In a few weeks the move
ment from the great central west will
start toward Norfolk, and every
means of travel will be heavily bur-
dened. The natural scenery of the
region is inspiring and the exposition
appeals to the pride and patriotism
of every American. Within two or
three weeks the exposition will be in
full swing"
We heartily congratulate the
management of the jamestown Ex-
position upon its splendid work, and
bespeak for the enterprise unbound
ed success. Incidentally we admonish
Everybody to stop knocking" and do
a little boosting"

Ed. Register:-I suppose every
body is wondering what will be-
come of the Legislature, as the
smallpox threatens to capture it
altogether. Well, things are not
so bad as represented 30 far, but
there certainly was a commotion
the other day when it was an
nounced that Judge Salts, of
Phelps county, was broken out
with the dread disease. 1t is said
that one fellow fell down stairs in
getting away. Did | run? Well |

Well, so much for the smallpox.
The county supervision bill has
passed the House, but may be
amended in the Senate. The
county uniformity in text books
bill went to engrossment in the
House. The excise commission
bill has been amended SO that the
commissioners actions are con-
trolled by the circuit Judge. That
is, he can be appealed to, if any
party is not satisfied with the rul-
ings of the excise commissioner.
Space will not allow me to write
all | would like to, but for the
benefit of those who love the fox
chase | will quote some of the
words of Hon. Frank Farris,
spoken in his speech against the
dog tax bill. Allow me to say
here that when he takes the floor
there falls on the house a respect
full silence, which more than all
else acknowledges him the orator
he really is. In part he said: II
am here as the friend of the lop-
cared hound. IT'S sweet to lay on
your pillow, of a crisp, moonlight
night, and listen to the deep
mouthed bay of the hound from
the distant mountain top, making
music sweeter than the ear hath
ever heard, or the heart strings
have ever felt" He further said,
81 am not fighting personally
against a paltry tax. | have a lit
tie girl who has a dog she dearly
loves. ! can pay a tax for my
child's dog, but perhaps there are
others who are not able to pay;
and their child loves its dog as
well as my child loves hers.

WHEN President Roosevelt re-
turned from Panama he sent to the
Senate a message on the canal.
Referring to this the Baltimore
Sun says: "Mr. Roosevelt proved
that the canal was rapidly being
built by producing with his mes
sage actual photographs of forty
eight scenes, among which were
the following: President Roose-
welt climbing a steamshovel.'
President Roosevelt making four
speeches at the same time to the
astonished multitude President
Roosevelt eating his way through
a Panama dinner President
Roosevelt's smile, walk, face, feet,
ears, boots, clothes, and CONVEX
sation in sundry front, rear, and
profile views To avoid another
such message, the Senate agreed
to let Mr.. Roosevelt dig a three
story canal, with basement and
cellar, and put in modern plumb
ing if he thinks best. Now Sena-
tor Beverage proposes to embel-
fish his speech on child labor with
all kinds of narrowing photo
graphs, accompanied by afidavits
of the photographer that they
were taken by a Gamers and not
by a hand-organ. These photo
graphs of the evils of child labor
ought to be mighty aids to the
Indiana Senator's sweeping elo-
quence."

tons born from his vitiated brain

about the school funds in the Iron
County Bank, it is Sc superlatively
silly and withal so palpably false,
that a reply to it or a denial of it
but lends to the lie a shade of
possibility. The only school funds

the providing of one for the colored
! children Of the district, also,
l quote from Section 9052 of the
School Laws:
"When there are within any
! school district in this State fifteen
or more colored children of school
age, the school board of such
school district shall be and they
, are hereby authorized and required
= to establish and maintain, within
+ such school district, a separate free
school for said colored children

= said colored children, and the ad-
= vantage8 and priUiIegeS thereof, shall

others schools Of corresponding
grade within such school district
n Should any school board
Y neglect or refuse to comply with
, the provisions of this section, such
school district shall be deprived o:
any part OF the public funds fol
the next ensuing school year"
No "demand" on the part of the
colored people for such school il
l necessary, 1t will be noted; thu
law imperatively requires It's es'
tablishment wherever a like grade
is instituted for the whites
: Whether a High School would
q cause the deposits in Benny's
Bank of Ironton to double II
amount, is a question am not pre-.
! pared to debate.

THE decadence of the public con-

itv with which we view the recent
thefts from two U. S. ub-Treasu-
ries. Over $50, 900 in n instance,
and double that amount in tho
other, are gone giimmering, but
the facts scarcely make q ripple on

would have hazarded, If not ship
wrecked, the administration under
which the crimes were committed,
and sent the perpetrators to ever
lasting infamy. Now? o, we set
