Captain Welborn's Case.

The war department has reported to Governor Noel that it has determined to make the suspension of Capt. Ira C. Welborn, eommandant of the cadets at the A. and M. college. permanent, and to remove him. That is all the state of Mississippi asked. It had no desire to do more than to get Captain Welborn away from the college The president of the college had suspended him, for cause, but the war department charges that President Hardy shoulu not have been so hasty-that he should have spoken to Captain Welborn about the matter first.
 This action on the part of the war de- pertinent is on the report of Gen. D. A. Darlington T.. s. A, who was sent to Mississippi for the express purpose of investigating affairs at the A. and M. college with reference to the removal of Captain Welborn. It was found that Captain Welborn has done wrong in more than one instance, especially in talk ing the active, open part he did on the side of the rebellious students and against the authorities of the cohege.

Prizes For Best Corn.

Manager Mckay of the Mississippi In dustrial exposition, known generally as the State Fair, says that he is going to offer two prizes on corn this fall-$50 for the best and largest yield; $25 for the second best, exhibited by the corn clubs of any county in the state These corn clubs. originating in Holmes county, have come to be classed as among the great est incentives to better farming ever known here. The school boys are organ ized into clubs and prizes are offered by the county for the best yield-the prizes being sufficiently valuable to in- duce good, honest work. The boy who won the prize in Holmes county last fall produced 1S0 bushels on one acre, and that is perhaps 100 bushels more than his father ever made on the same land
 The idea of the fair management is to have a Corn Day. during the fall eX- position, and to make it one of the big gest special days of the week. The corn produced by the several corn clubs-that is the prize winning exhibits from the several counties, are to be given great prominence, and the best displays will get the $50 and the S25 prizes. It has been determined that November shall be Corn Day" that being the day after MT Bryan will be elected President" says Manager Mckay, and when Mis- sissippi will feel like turning out en- massen

Furniture For Capitol.

Since the adjournment of the legisa- ture the state officials have spent more money for furniture and furnishings than at any time in the past history of the state save when the new capitol was taken possession of At that time funds ran low and several of the officials got no furniture, and were forced to use the old out-of-date tables, uesks and other junk that had seen half century of ser vice in the old capitol, giving their hand some apartments very ragged appear ance By dint of hard work the legis- lature was prevailed on to vote $2o0 to $o0O each to three or four departments for furniture, and it has been put in And vet there are other officies in the cap itol that need furniture just as bad as those who did get it. and whose appli- cations were turned down.

It has been suggested here that Gen T. C. Catchings of Vicksburg might enter the race but no credit is given to that story. as General Catchings has repeatedly declared that he has had enough of political life. He served Mis- sissippi a term or two as attorney gen eral and several terms as congressman, being one of the most distinguished mem bers of the lower house and doing as much for the improvement of the Missis sippi river as any man in the country. His services on the rivers and harbors committee are part of the history of the nation. General Catchings Is another of Missssippi's strong team in Congress who went down and out on the free silver craze a few years ago.

In the matter of salesmen abroad
we must have men who not only speak

and idiosynCrasies of the people with
whom they deal. says the Engineering
Magazine. The South American. in

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
Trembe.

The surgeons duties require clear
judgment and steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir-
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble. an Ills.
surgeon conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years l was n coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down. my hands trembled so
could hardly write. and insomnia tor.
tured me at night.
Besides. how could I safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-
cision? When l saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee. l decided to stop it,
and three years ago l prepared some
Postum, of which l had received a
sample.
THE first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing. delicious. At this
time l gave some Postum TO a friend
who was in similar condition to
mine. from the use of coffee.
"A few days after. l met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee but stick to Postum. We then Or
dered a full supply and within short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as well as insomnia, disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor
NAL, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
My friend became n Postum en-.
thusiast, his whole family using 1t ex.
clusively.
1T would be the fault Of the one
who brewed the Postum, If it did not
taste good when served.
THE best food may be spoiled IL
not properly made. Postum should be
boiled according to directions on the
pkg. Then 1t is all right, anyone can
rely on 1t. 1t ought to become the

HINTS ON HOW TO DARN.
viii Be Found Very Helpful to the
Busy Housewife.

The darning OF narrow lace edges
is most difficult matter.
II the tear Is serious one the
edges OF the lace can be basted upon
the selvages of the muslin and placed
in the embroidery hoop.
Care must be taken not to sew into
the muslin.
II the edge Is destroyed entirely or
in part. the lace may be basted upon
white letter paper. and stitched sever
al times to form new edge and
cross-threads stitched to hold this
edge in place, then the paper pulled
away and the remaining stitches put
in on the machine or by hand.
Hamburg cdgings and insertions can
be darned in the same way. They
should preferably be free of starch
and smoothly ironed to facilitate per-
feet work.
White mosquito netting that has
been washed will be found to give Il
good foundation for darning coarsely
woven underwear on the machine. and
soft black mosquito netting should be
bastcd under the holes in the knees
of boys stockings.
1t should he basted directly across
the hole and the machine darning be
done directly upon It. The rough
edges and threads can aftcrward be
trimmed away.
When you are through darning upon
the machine. do not forget to replace
the pressure on the pressure foot and

wise you may be much puzzled the
next time you go to the machine and
wonder why it won't make a stitch.
