HAS FINISHED SESSION
aiIrOad Commission Disposed of Several
Matters.

A Jackson special says that
the railroad commission finished
the work of it's sessi on this morn
ing and adjourned. t he greater
portion Of the meeting was devot-
ed to discussion of the propos-
ed substitution Of the southern
classification of local freight rates
in lieu of the Mississippi classi-

ison but no final action taken.
Formal order was entered rel

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
PATROhlzIhG STRANGERS
ViGksbHg Ladies Lose Photos of Lost
Loved Ones.

Another example of the folly
of patronizing strangers, is Civ
Ell in the following from a recent
issue of the Vicksburg Herald:
"A number of ladies, very in
dignant, were at the city hall
yesterday morning to attend the
trial of d. H. Well, the picture
man. The ladies say that Wells
and the men with him were given
by them photographs to enlarge,
and that was the last they ever
heard of the pictures. AS the
photographs were those of de ar
relatives and friends the good
women were very much exercis-
ed over the matter. Some of the
pictures were the only ones of
relatives who are dead.
As the matter now stands,
Wells is only charged with doing
business without a license. We'd
nesday he was put under S25
bond for his appearance in court
yesterday morning. He failed
to appear, and the police are of
the opinion that he has skipped
the city. If he appears this
morning the case will be tried.
According to the best infor-
nation which sshas reached the
police, the picture men never
made any attempt to have the
photographs enlarged, but burnt
them up. They delivered the
toilet articles contracted for. and
said that the enlarged pictures
were not ready. Chief of Police
Price has received inquiries con-
corning the matter from at least
fifty persons who gave the men
photographs. They all say that
the picture men promised todeli-
yer the enlarged pictures when
they delivered the toilet articles. :

His Narrow Escape.
rom the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr. Ferguson, two of whose
downtown friends had just dined
with him, had taken them into
the library for a smoke.
81 mus tell you good one on
my wife, he said. "She's been
roasting me because | look at the
headlines in the papers once in
a while to see if anything impor-
tant is happening in the Thaw
trial. Well, the other afternoon,
while the girl was away, she put
a pan of biscuit in the oven to
bake, and while she was waiting
she picked up a paper and be-
gan to read the stuff herself.
She got so Interested in it she let
the biscuits"
AT this moment Mrs. Fergu-
son came into the library for a
book.
sAnd the joke oft was," con-
tinued Mr.. Fergunson, without a
moments pause, "that they
found the COW next morning in a
forty acre lot."
'sHal hal hal" roared the
guests, laughing till the tears ran
down their cheeks--but not at
the story.

PREPARING TO
ENTERTAIN PRESS
Mississippi Press Association
Meets at Jackson in May

! A special from Jackson says
that the Mississippi Press Asso-
citation will hold it's forty-second
annual convention in the city of
Jackson, on invitation of the two
daily papers of that city, extend
ed at the Guliport meeting, May
last.
It is proposed to make the
meeting one OF the best within
the history of the Association,
and already some little prelimi-
nary work has been done by
the newspapers and people and
the Press Committee of the
Board OF Trade.
The session will last three
days, May 21, %, and %. It
hasn't been the custom of the
Press Association for years past
to accept entertainment for its
delegates, the new rule being for
the members to stop at hotels
and pay their own bills. Still it
is a nice courtesy to extend en-
tertainment, and the citizens of
Jackson would make a good i'm
preston by offering to entertain,
the members of the press at their
homes, as they did when the
convention met here in 1884.
The Knights of Pythias have
rendered the Pythian Castle to
the Press Association in which to
hold their Convention and recep-
tions, aid the Association will
accept it, as it is the newest,
neatest, best and most eligible
hall in the city.
The Press Committee of the
Board of Trade held an informal
meeting yesterday evening, and
some suggestions were made as
to the manner of entertaining the
Association. A street car ride
around the city, reception at the
mansion, on the first day OF the
convention was suggested, as
were a barbecue at Livingston
Park by the Board of Trade, and
an entertainment at night of the
next day.
AS the convention will hold
three daily sessions here it would
be proper to have a banquet and
bali, and this is the usual custom,
and something of the kind will
doubtless be done here.
The city cannot afford to give
the Press Association a poor |
entertainment better none at all.
About one hundred editors, it is
estimated, will be here, and they |
should be given the best that the
city has to give, should be |
shown what a growing place we
have so that they will go away |
with good impressions of jack
son.
In other words, the editors
should be given royal enter
tainment, and their visit here
made a delightful social oc-
casion, and every citizen of
Jackson should esteem it his
pleasure to assist in entertaining
the newspaper men.
3 A full program will soon be /
decided upon, and given to the
public.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex.
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark.

That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
