MiSSiSSipp
Legislature
FIFTY-FIFTH DAY.

The greater part OF the day in both
branches was devoted to the passage of
local bills, with one or two general meas
ures sandwiched in between, this includ-
ing the Confederate pension bill by the
Senate, with House amendments, reduc-
ing the appropriation by $4,000.
The Senate bill providing for definite
and distinct repositories in the State for
the funds of the Yazoo-NIississippi delta
levee board was in this class, the bill
being a long and carefully drawn docu-
ment, minute as to detail, though. in a
word, it subjects the officers OF the board
to liability for indictment or punish
ment Tor misdemeanor for any intractlon
of its provisions. and absolutely pro-
hlbits the loaning out of any surplus
funds to private individuals. The bill
passed.
Another bill of the same class, apply
ing to a local condition or interest, was
IN this category, that being the bill au-
thorizing the boards of supervisors OF
the riparian counties, in their discretion,
to make donations to the Lakes-to-the-
Gulf Deep Waterways Association for
the purpose of carrying on its work. The
bill applies to all the counties bordering
on the Mississippi or its tributaries, from
the Tennessee to the Louisiana line, II
there is nothing mandatory in its terms.
1t was taken up without objection and
passed.
The bill to authorize boards of super
visors at their discretion to employ the
county convicts in laying out or main
tanning roads leading into the municipali-
ties or market towns and shipping points
along railroads was called up and passed.
A message from the Senate by Secre-
tary Robertson n~on-concur-
renee with the House amendments to the
soldiers home support fund bill, and
asked for a conference, announcing
NIessrs. Vance. Seawright and Banks as
the Senate confcrrees.
Then came the pension bill, with the
House amendments cutting the pension
fund from $500 900 to $500, 600 q year,
and it was adopted the Senate concurring
in the House amendment.
While a reduction from the original
bill, this amount is an increase OF 500
900 a year over former appropriations.
The bill appropriating $1,000 a year
for the geologic, topographic and eco
nomic survey of Mississippi, as 1t came
from the House. passed. The Senate bill,
with the $4,000 appropriation, was
killed in the House, and the above bill
passed.
The Farmers Institute bill came up
next, and was opposed by Mr.. Price on
the ground tnat the people did not at
tend the Institutes. Mr.. Sanders spoke
earnestly for the passage of the bill, and
it passed.

PERPETUAL MOTION, SURE!
inventor Cannot Stop Machine Whel
Once Started.

Evanston, Ia.-After spending two
years and putting a large amount OF
money into materials, j.. O. Scott OF
this place claims to have solved the
problem Of perpetual motion. One
machine, having been weakened in re-
modelling, flew to pieces after running
a period of three minutes, and he Is
now at work on a new model Of so
substantial a pattern that it cannot
fail to stand the test. A governor IS
all he lacks, claims Scott. After start.
ing his machine, he has no way OF
stopping it except to load it until II
cannot run.
The machine, as has been the cas-
with all previous experiments along
this line, attempts to utilize gravity
for power. On a six-foot wheel Scott
claims to have an Overbalanctn8
weight of 140 pounds. Weights, cams
and levers are used in its construc'
ton, but further than this, Scott will
not reveal the workings of his model
The weights on one side extend liz
inches beyond the circumference OF
the wheel, and on the other side fall
four inches within. He expects to have
the machine completed in about two
months

FIFTY-EIGHTH DAY.

The features in the legislature today
were the passing OF the Simmons land
tax bill. which was vetoed by the gov
ernor. who gave his reasons therefor in 4
lengthy message. the measure being
"a ssed over the veto by a vote OF al
most four to one. The governor had
discovered certain features that seemed
unconstitutional, and while he agreed
with the spirit of the measure he was
| doubtful as to the phrasing and wording.
The Senate seemed to have thought diff.
ferently.
The East bill to grant debtors the
right to redeem lands sold under trust
deed or deed of transfer within a year
after sale was indefinitely postponed by
the Senate.
The House passed the Hebron anti.
convict leasing bill as applies to counties.
There was strong opposition to the bill,
but the preponderance Of judgment over
towering, the vote on passing being two
to one.
The regular order was the considera-
ton of Senate bills with favorable re-
borts. and several of these were disposed
Of.
Among the bills considered was the
Senate bill providing for the use by
families of mileage books issued for use
in the State, giving each menber OF a
family equal right to the same book, as
though they were the, individual pur'
chasers. Under the terms Of the bill the
father. mother, son or daughter may be
permitted to certify to their identity,
while the parents may certify as to the
identity of the minor children. The
penalty fixed to be inflicted on the rail.

cHIcORY FIRST USED BY DUTCH.
War Blockade Responsible for Discov-
cry of Good Qualities of the Root.

SSSS ~ hSSs
Although chicory was probably known
and used by the ancient Romans as a pot
herb. 1T remained for the Hollanders
about 200 years ago to discover that the
roots Of the chicory plant dried, GROUND
and roasted produced a drink like coffee,
both palatable and healthful.
During the Napoleonic wars a strict
blockade Of the continent of Europe was
maintained and all importations of coffee,
tea and cocoa ceased. This forced the
people TO turn to chicory as q beverage
and 1t soon came into general use.
So good was Its taste, SO rich was Its
aroma that the new beverage at once be-
came exceedingly popular with the good
Butch housewives who are known the
world over for their ability as cooks.
After the wal when ample supply of
coffee could be secured. the HOllanders
were loath to give up their chicory. AS
q result they blended coffee and chtcory
and produced the good old Dutch coffee
now served in nearly all hotels, restau-
rants and homes in Europe.
Not only did this blend produce that
rich aroma and flavor, but it was found
that chiCOry cOunteracted the bad effects
of straight coffee. Those who found ordi-
nary coffee injurious drank the combina-
ton and it proved both refreshing and
Thus 1t is seen that chicory has been
used for centuries In Europe, where 1T is
regarded as a necessary addition to cof-
fee.
Americans began using chicory as soon
as they realized 1t was put on the mar
ket to improve the quality Of coffee and
not in any spirit of dishonesty. Fortu-
nately the new United States pure food
law requires all makers to state on their
packages what the contents are and this
protects the buyer from all substitutes
for pure coffee and pure chicory and in
sures a grade equal to that from which
the old-fashioned Dutch beverage is made.
Through our foreign born citizens SO
consistently demanding 1t, the merits of
chicory have become known by word Of
mouth until those who nave heretofore
been disappointed in securing the rich,
full coffee flavor in their morning bever-
age have found that by buying coffee
mixed with chicory, they secure the exact
combination they have been seeking.

Carnegie and the Oil Man Disagree
Over Game of Golf.

New York.-All because of a game
of golf, Andrew Carnegie and John ID.
Rockefeller, two of the most distin-
guished devotees of the game in this
country, are reported to have broken
a friendship of years standing. For
months, it is said, they have not
spoken to each other and the formerly
frequent visits have been abandoned.
Although the quarrel which caused
the enlargement occurred last fall,
the story has only got abroad.
The warm argument over which Of
the " won a game over John DIS
private golf course at Pocantico Hills,
is said to have caused the old friends
to part. Both assert their differences
cannot be patched up without an apOl-
ogy from the other. Each asserts he
will never apologize.
From all reports, it was the hot.
test kind of a game that caused the
trouble. First one was ahead, then
the other. At the sixteenth hole,
Rockefeller announced the score, say
ing he had made rs strokes, against
C%arnegie's 81. The former steel king
disputed this, saying he had made
only 10. Carnegie captured the next
holes in three fewer strokes than
John. He claimed a final score of So
to ROckefeller's Sc. John ID. asserted
the proper score was 81 to sc in his
favor. From this beginning the argu-
ment grew so warn that their friend
ship broke under the strain.

RUSTIC WANTS FILIPINO BRIDE
New York Farmer Advertises for a
Brown Girl in a Manila Paper.

Utica, n. "a paper published in
Manila, Philippine Islands, recently,
and just received here, contains the
following:
Wanted.-An orphan girl for a wife,
between the ages of Ia and "a. Send
with dowry of $3.50 to Little Falls, N.
Y. freight paid"
This Is the gist of the wants OF Ar
thur Congdon of Little Falls, N. Y, in
a communication written to the sec.
rotary OF the interior simultaneously
with his inserting the above lad" In
a Manila newspaper. CongdOn said
in his letter to the secretary that he
had read of the offer Of the govern
ment to provide for the care of Fill
pino girls and the payment to those
OF manageable ge, who married, q
sum equivalent to the cost of two
years maintenance, about $3.50.
He said that his work on the farm
where, among other duties, he caret
for 40 cows, precluded his going to
Manila for an orphan girl, but that
he would make n of the maidens
his bride if the government would
ship him one, freight prepaid. and
send along with her the $3.50 dowry.

payers would indorse such an a%ppropria-
ton of their money, and so the matter is
passed up for private subscriptions.
The committee on agriculture, to
whom had been referred the Senate bill
to regulate the handling, inspection,
stuffs, sold or offered for sale, recon-
mended that the bill pass.
Mr.. Foster raised the point of order
that the bill was out of the regular or
der, and had not been officially before
the House, but the chair declined to rule
on the point, and objection being made
to its consideration, the bill went over.
Among the bills passed was that pro-
viding for an additional appropriation
in order to increase the salary OF the
secretary of the railroad compassion
from S $1,000 to $500 a year, which re-
ceived a vote of 81 to 4.
Senate bill No. 451, making an ap-
preparation for the executive mansion
work, carrying 100000, was taken up
on the report of the appropriation COM
mittee and passed after some opposition
the vote being 81 to 9.
Mr.. Morrison called up the National
Guard appropriation bill, which the Sem
ate had amended by adding $4,000 a year
to the support fund as it came from the
House, making the annual appropriation
$4,000. This CAV some of the members
a chance to register their ~disapproval of
ANYTHING like a national guard, and the
feeling became so rampant that the
House refused to concur by a vote OF
sc to 10.
Mr.. Cavett asked for a conference on
the bill, but the majority of the House
refused even that courtesy.
The House took up the Potter State
depository bill. The bill passed as it
came from the Senate and the committee.

to.
Mr.. Sample introduced S. B. asa, an
act to appropriate funds TO pay principal
and interest OH money borrowed to carry
on State government in 1908 and 1909,
and the finance committee promptly
acted on it, and recommended its pas
sage.
The general revenue bill was passed,
authorizing n siX-mill tax.
House bill 742, creating privilege taxes
on certain industries and occupations in
this State was next considered and
amended, so as to cut the tax on moving
pictures in cities from $50 to $25, IN
towns from S25 to $3.50. On opticians
the tax was raised from SO to $25, and
coco cola is made to conform to the other
chapters on coco cola. and so fixed that

a standard weight for coal. 1000 pounds
to the ton and 200 pounds to the box
or barrel. passed next.
The report of the conference commit
tee relative to the privilege tax on eX-
press companies showed that a compro-
mise had been reached, which would split
the difference between the two bodies OF
some S2S,OOO total, as provided for by
the Senate, and $4,000 by the House, or
a compromise on about $4,000 revenue
from the operation of the two express
companies.

FIFTY-SEVENTH DAY.

Holding three long sessions today, both
the Senate and House disposed of a lot
of business.
Practically all the disagreements be-
tween the two bodies have been settled,
and there remains now such bills from
the two houses which are pending in the
other end, with favorable committee re
ports to be threshed out.
One of the most conspicuous of the
acts today was the failure of the House
to pass the bill appropriating as donation
the sum of $4,000 for the battleship Mis-

dealing with the message OF Gov. Noel

asked to present the matter, and a sup
Elemental statement On the practical
side of the question from Senator Whit
man, the House, by a vote of "A yeas to
90 nays, passed the bill over the veto.
In botn Houses considerable progress
was made today in the work of clearing
up the dockets.
A joint resolution, which had pre-
viously been offered in the House, pro-
viding for a commission to act entirely
without compensation, with the purpose
in view Of raising by popular subscrip-
ton not less than $500, to be added
to the funds already in hand for the
battleship testimonial, was introduced
and passed the Senate unanimously. The
resolution was sent Immediately to the
House.
The most important feature of the
morning session of the House was the
bill to authorize the establishment, un-
.cr certain safeguards and restrictions,
Of a clearing house association in the
State, which will become a law at this
session.
Considerable progress was made
| today in both Senate and House, where

Wanting to tell me of his luck. he had clipped the item from the sheet, pasted 1t on a piece of paper and forwarded 1t to me with his initials scrawled across the bottom. Five years ago he would have sat down and written me. Now he uses shears and paste. Oh! It's all right; got the information and that's the main thing.
