PURIFYING TAINTED MONEY.


The National Tribune says dirty
greenbacks can be washed and ironed
as easily as a pocket handkerchief. A
wealthy woman in Washington has
all her money Numbered before she
uses it. She turns the notes over to
her maid, who washes them thorough
ly in hot water with ordinary soap
suds and spreads them out on a table
to dry Then she dampens them
slightly and presses them with a me-
dunn hot smoothing iron. If the bill
is not frayed this process will make
it. as bright and crisp as when it left
the treasury. 1t is astonishing how
dirty money gets. If one could see
the water in which a dozen commonly
circulated bills were washed it would
give them a permanent aversion to
the trade of teller.

ABE FUNK ON LAFE YOUNG.
(Sniri+ Lake Reacon

The intoxication Of factional victory
must have submerged the Christian
spirit of our friend Colonel LATE. In
his calmer days he was wont to stand
up for Iowa in spite Of the crops or
the weather, and he could be earnest
and forceful without being rude. But
down at Chicago all this week he is
getting into the papers to tell what
bad lot Iowa republicans are; that
standpatters will make Iowa go dem
ocratic if Dolliver is nominated for
vice president; that the governor is
populist fit only to be on ticket
with Bryan; that more than AZ per
cent of the party in the old home state
are dangerous citizens; that George
Roberts is an alien, and so on and so
forth. 1t is better to be licked politi-
cally every round in the game than to
get into such an unhappy frame OF
mind thru the intoxication of success.

TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY.

Neither house was in session in the
afternoon, the time being devoted as
usual to committee meetings, there hav-
ing been we'll attended sessions of the
two judiciary committees, both these
committees being well loaded with bills
and resolutions.
Both houses unanimously accepted
the invitation from the city of Natchez,
extended by the representatives from
Adams county, to attend the Mardi
Gras festivities on March =, which will
be a repetition of previous legislative
experience.
In the House Mr.. Quin introduced a
bill having for its object the enactment
of a law regulating the holding of pri-
mary elections for the nomination of
candidates for the United States sena-
tor and for judges of the Supreme
Court, chancellors and circuit judges,
which will be quite a departure from
present regulations.
A bill was passed reducing the price
of the Mississippi coce of 1906 from
SIS to 50, the vote being practically
unanimous. Mr.. Gex of Hancock cast
the only negative vote.
The Senate passed the bill carrying
appropriation for the carrying on Of
the departmental work and general care
of the capitol, one of the most urgent
of the appropriation bills, which for
various reasons has hung fire for some
time.

Mr.. Engle created a 1utter in tn.
Senate in offering a resolution de.
manding the ejectment of all LOBBYISTS
from the chamber, and specifying openly
the men supposed to represent the Cum.
berland Telephone Company. some OF
whom were on the floor of the chamber
at that time.
The House of Representatives spent
the morning in routine work, a mum
Der of bills being introduced and several
passed. Among the latter was the bill
apprOpriating the sum of ST, 500 to de-
carrying the sixteenth section land cases
to the appellate courts of the United
Sites; also a bill to pay the law firm of
Stone & Sively of Oxford, for services

$500 by the cOmmitte.
The Bcidie bill, providing for the
payment of lcvce tax by railroads OPP.
Grating in the levee districts, after a
brief explanation, was passed without
opposition. The bill simply increases
the present rate or sale, according te
the existing classification.
Other bills passed were the House
bill to prevent the blacklisting of en-
ployes of railroads, telegraph Oh tee
phone companies who may affiliate with
labor organizations of any kind, which

TWENTY-NINTH DAY.

The paramount topics in legislative
floor proceedings today were the anti
bucketshop bill, or the Boddie bill, in
the Senate, and the bill to establish
the county of George in the House. The
former was practically an all-day mat
ter with the Senate, the only other
feature being Mr.. Harper's resolution
proposing to disband the State national
guard in Mississippi. The Boddie anti
bucketshop bill, as amended by Senator
Anderson, passed the Senate by unani-
nous vote, after an all-day round, dur
ing which about half of the senator's
spoke for or against it. The bill goes
back to the House for concurrence with
the Senate amendr" cnt, which does not
affect a vital priIciple, and will be
before the governor before the week is
out.
In the House, after a stiff debate, in
which the honors as to argument were
pretty nearly even, the bill to create
George county from two townships OF CT
and a township and a half off
Jackson, was defeated by a close vote,
the score being SO to "a.
In the House a resolution was of
fered by Mr.. Stennis, TO the effect that
after Saturday this week no measure
reported adversely by a committee shall
be considered, unless called up by a
two-thirds vote. The object of this is
implying that the members
desire TO keep strictly to the business
in hand, and finish, if possible, by the
set for adjournment, March 10.

TWENTY-SEvENTH DAY.

The report of the judiciary committee
indicated the knitting of a number q
matters, among them the bill to create
a State board of pardons, by naming the
board of penitentiary trustees as such
the Perkins bill to establish a scale OF
office hours for county officers, and q
half dozen or so providing for the reg
istration of sureties on bonds.
The committee on fees and salaries
reported u%nfavorably on the bill to in
crease the salary of the Supreme Court
porter, and reported pack the bill to in
crease the salary of the superintendent
of education, with a committee sub.
s~titute.
The feature of the session was the
discussion of the resolution which pro
poses to cut down the salaries of the
chancellor of the university, the presi-
dents of the Agricultural Mechanical
College and the Industrial Institute and
College.
There was a lively discussion, and at
one time it looked as if there might be
a vote forced on the adoption of the
resolution, but this was beaten by the
adoption of a motion to refer the ques-
ton to the fees and salaries committee.

Mr.. Whitman called up Senate bill 20

worth, tax collector, certain sums due
him, and same passed after careful eX-
PLANTATION by Mr.. Whitman.
Mr.. Bilbo called up Senate bill III.
for relief of the Supreme Court repor.
ter.
Mr.. Mcdonnell explained the necessity
of this bill because the increased bust
ness of the court made two reports a
year necessary, whereas there was pro-
vision made to pay for but one, and
the bill passed.
Mr.. Simmons called mp House bill
$50, to adds physics to the list of stud
les necessary to obtain a professional
(teacher's) license, and same passed.
Senate bill 10S, authorizing board of
supervisors of Jefferson Davis county
to pay certain election expenses, was
passed.
House bill rs. relating to creation
Of Jefferson Davis county, was passed.
Mr.. Anderson called up Senate bill
35, for the prevention of fraud in the
sale of stocks of merchandise in bulk,
and the same passed.
Mr.. Anderson called up Senate bill
Ill, and moved to adopt the committee
an act to amend section
1856 of the code, so as to abolish the
fellow servant rule, in actions for in
iuries to employees of railroads and 9th
FRS using engines, etc, propelled by
the dangerous agencies Of steam, etc.
The bill sought to abolish the fellow |
act as to corporations using en-
zines, locomotives or cars propelled by
he dangerous agencies of gas, etc.
Mr.. Engle desired to amend the sub
so that the act would apply
stean5eSts also.
Mr.. Anderson opposed the amendment
If Mr.. Engle, because he feared the
amendments passage would imperil the |
,onstitutionality of the bill.
Mr.. Engla, recognizing Mr.. Anderson's
POSITION, withdrew the amendment and
will introduce a bill covering steam

that danger hovers over them may b
confident on beginning that the hero.
no matter how dark may be the out
look, will come out alive and covered

Old raIlroaders laugh when they

without going through all the details
that the engineer, conductor fireman.
