Why Insurance Companies DiSCrimi-
nate Against the Gentle Sex.

Medical examiners of insurance COM
panies say that the reason a woman
pays more for the privilege of insur-
ance than a man, is from the fact that
women more readily fall victims to
Indigestion and stomach troubles and
the fatal ailments that spring from
these causes.
All persons, they say, who have a
weakened digestive system and suffer
from sick headache, dizzy spells, dis
tress after eating, specks before the
eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, and the many other symptoms of
indigestion, soon lower the tone of the
whole system and are most susceptible
to a fatal illness.
For curative power in all stomach
troubles, nothing else is as safe yet
effective, nothing else can be thorough
Iy relied upon to relieve all troubles
from indigestion as Mi-o-na. 1t is
unlike any remedy heretofore known
and is really one of the valuable dis
coveries in modern medical silence.
1t is not the acute attacks that in
| flueuce the insurance examiners alone,
but the constant feelings of weakness,
headaches, indigestion and stomach
troubles-these things, physicians say
kill more people than many more seri-
Gus diseases,
To escape this condition ofill health,
to enjoy ones food and yet never suf-
fer with Indigestion, a person should
use Mi-O-na stomach tablets. They
are not a mere digestive tablet, but
strengthen and restore to natural ac-
ton the stomach and bowels and effect
a complete cure in even the worst form
of stomach troubles.
| Dodsons Drug Store sell Mi-o-na in
50-cent boxes under a guarantee to
refund the money unless it does all
that is claimed for it,

Republican Governor Deneen!
of Illinois, says the efforts to bet
ter control corporations is as wise
as necessary. He says he will call
an extra session of the legislature
for that purpose, if necessary.
Democratic Governor Patterson, of
Tennessee, on the other hand, says
he is glad that State has not fol-
lowed the "railroad mania" which
has infected so many States. The
MontgomeryJournal says these two
governors should change their
political affiliations, and intimates
that this is merely straw show
ing how men are lining up on new
principles and policies.

HOMICIDES IN GEORGIA.

Hardly day passes without a
homicide being reported in the
daily newspapers from some part
of Georgia. Sometimes there are
two, or three, even four. The
greater part of them, we blush to
say, are in south Georgia, the vii e
grass region of the state, Lawful
as the great mass of our people are,
there is yet a sufficient strain of
lawlessness, of the inclination to
avenge supposed wrongs, even of a
minor nature, by recourse to the
pistol or the knife, to put this sec
tion under a terrible black cloud.
And what adds to the seriousness
of the matter is the fact that the
greater part of those who have
taken life escape without punish
ment, while those who are pun
ished are merely sent to the peni-
Tertiary, to be pardored after a
few years service. The percentage
of white men who commit homi-
cides and who go to the gallows is
infnitesimal.
Crimes of this nature are not de
creasing in Georgia. There is no
doubt that a careful study of the
newspapers for the past ten years
would show just about as many
killings and assaults with intent to
kill as a decade ago. At the rate
of the past month Georgia would
be credited with probably go to
800 homicides by white men, in
which the victims were white,
during the course of the year. This
is stain on the state that cannot
be overlooked.
Laxness in the enforcement of
the law may be in part response
BILE for this carnival of death. The
pistol tOteing habit brings about
the greater part of the homicides
Were 1t not for the ever ready gun
in the hip pocket the slight affront,
or imaginary insult, would not be
so speedily avenged with the bull
let. Yet there is no tendency ap-
parently to sternly punish this of
Tense against the State laws. A
fine of $25 is about the average
penalty imposed on a white man
for carrying concealed weapons.
He pays the fine, puts the pistol
back in his hip pocket, and goes
out of the court room ready for
deadly business at any time. Fines
of this nature never will break up
pistol carrying, and as long as pis
tolls are carried Unfortunately
so long may we expect long ar
ray of homicides month after
month, rejecting discredit on the
state and on the South, and bring
ing the sneers of critics elsewhere
on our civilization.
Last year it is said there were
eleven thousand murders commit
ted In the United States. Taking
the white and black killings to
gether it is probable that Georgia
furnished her full quota. Only
one and three tenths per cent. of
those committing homicides are
said to be hanged. We can safely
assert that the number of whites
taking life in Georgia who are exc
cuted falls far below even that
minute proportion.

READING WAS STOPPED.
Senate Refused to Hear Reflection on
Chairman Burton

SuhlIuldu ouILOu.
On objection by Senators Aldrich and
Hale, resolution addressed to the Sem
ate by the legislature of North Dakota was
withdrawn before it's reading had been COM
pleted in the Senate today. 1t began with
the statement that the distinguished chair
man of the House committee on rivers and
harbors was laboring under misappre-
tension regarding certain matters con-
nected with the upper Mississippi river.
When Mr.. Aldrich halto the reading of
the resolution Mr.. Hansbrough remarked
that this was a resolution from sovereign
state

limits" replied Mr. Aldrich. but it GER

I Mr.. Hale called attention to the Senate
rule forbidding reference in any way to

Mr.. Hansbrough contended that the res
olution contained no reflection on any one
but withdrew it temporarily.

that which might, could, would or should
happen?" replied the Speaker amid laugh
Points Overruled.


Points Overruled.
The Speaker then overruled the points OF
order on the ground that the conferees had
been wholly within their rights when they
agreed to substitute for both the Senate
and House bills.
The case In which Speaker Henderson
made his ruling. and to which reference
has been made by the gentleman from Mis-
sissippi (Mr. Williams) was wholly differ
ent, said Speaker Cannon. There the
House and Senate had disagreed about GER
tain claims, and the conferees had taken adj
vantage of that fact to add certain other
claims which had not been considered by
either house.
from. the time of the birth of Christ to
the future supposed death of the man with
the horns and cloven hoofs had been in
Guided Speaker Henderson very properly
sustained the point of order but the pres
ent case is wholly different
He then showed how both houses had
considered legislation along similar lines,
and held that the sections in controversy
were wholly and completely germane.
Decision Sustained.
Mr.. Burnett appealed from the decision
of the chair. whereupon Mr.. Payne of New
York moved to lay the appeal on the
table.
The ayes and noes were called, and the
appeal was tabled by strict party vote
ayes, 1856; noes, 104.
The conference, report was then taken up
for consideration on its merits, one hour
being fixed for debate.

ONE WEEK AHEAD OF TIME.
House Called to Order by the Speaker
at 10 O'Clock.

Last week the House of Representatives
decided to begin its daily sessions at II
o'clock this week and voted to open their
day at 10 O'Clock Monday, February %, for
the purpose Of having eulogies until noon OF
that day.
At 10 o'clock this morning Speaker Can
non took the chair In the House and
brought down the gavel with thud that
sent half a dozen scurrying pages to their
benches. Two or three members who had
arrived early stared in amazement at the
Speaker, who was looking in vain for the
chaplain to offer the invocation.
Finally one of the House employees rushed
to the Speaker and told him that he was
just week too early with his 10 o'clock
session, and Mr.. Cannon retired to his
office, leaving the few early corners in the
House in great merriment

Failed to Make Good.

Failed to Make Good.
Gas : matter of fact, this movement to
replace Mr.. Williams as minority leader is
baseG not on a personal issue, but on the
broad general ground that the present mi
nority leader has failed to make good. Icould
name number of Instances, well under
stood by all democrats, in which Mr.. Will
liams has faiIed~to take advantage of the
opportunities offered by his position as
minority leader, and will probably make
statement on this subject over my own
name before Congress adjourns. But just
at present it will suffice to say that the
proposal to supplant Mr.. Williams with Mr.
DeArmond is in the nature of national
proposition. 1t is not being run in the
interests of any disgruntled members and
it takec no cognizance of personalities. We
believe that the election of Mr.. DeArmond
will be a good thing for the democratic
party in the House and out of it.
1T would be foolish to say that harmony
exists at present among the House demo-
Gratis and it is likewise useless to comment
upon the fact that factions make Tor in
efficiency. We are confident that all good
democrats in the House will rally to Mr.
Diamonds support Even Mr.. Williams
friends and partisans can have no possible
objection to Mr.. DeArmond any valid
score. When the time comes to vote. at
will be found that the statement that Mr..
Williams is now good as beaten and Mr..
DeArmond good as elected are made on
solid foundation
A star reporter talked Will d Hu-uDeT Oh
leading democrats of the House today,
some of them Mr.. Williams friends and
some of them members of the other fac
ton. 1t was admitted en- every SIDE that
a serious struggle for the minority leader
ship would be fought before the thing was
settled Mr. Williams advocates AMI fol-
lowers doubted the statement of the oppo-
sition that sufficient pledges had been Sc
cured already to make it possible to say
who would be elected but they, were frank
to say that if Mr.. Williams decided to be
a candidate once more, he would have the
most serious opposition that could be i'm
agined and that the result would remain In
doubt w to the last minute.
Mr.. DeArmond of Missouri is a quiet.
Woodworking member of the House, who,
under the Richardson regime, was heard in
debate on the floor and in majority and NIL
nority contests in the House and since Mr..
Williams took hold. Mr.. DeArmond is a
parliamentarian, a practician and tech
nician, and, his friends say, is eXcellently
we'll qualified from almost every standpoint
to perform the duties o, minority leader.
