Seven electoral messengers from
as many States will be fined 81 ,OeO
apiece if they do not deliver to
the Vice-President by Monday The
electoral vote OF their respec-
tive States Among them are the
messengers from Alabama, Kentucky
and Mississippi Both Kentucky
and Alabama have sent copies Of
their vote by mail, but nothing has
been heard from their messengers
Mississippi is the only State

would not prevent the counting of

provides a fine of $1,000 for hon
compliance with its terms.

Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,

way should try DIR. Miles Anti

instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.

Paris Kentuckian-Citi Nearly
every farmer asked as to the sit
uation is preparing TO raise tobacco
this year This is not only true in
Bourbon, but in nearly every other
county in this section. While there
Is no doubt that the weed will
bring a good price this year, yet
the farmer should stop and think
what a good price he would get
II he would put in other crops, say
big crop of corn. Today any
kind of corn is bringing SO a barrel
in the crib, and buyers take It
as it comes too. We believe, from
telks with prominent dealers, that,
owing to the fact that so much
tobacco will be planted this year,
good crops of corn will more likely
hing close to IS a barrel next fall.
At any rate it is a matter we'll worth
thinking over while everybody Isl
building barns and preparing to
raise tobacco.

have been hemp-breakers and their
sympathizers.
The assailants were concealed by

TEACHERS GIVE OPINIONS
AS TO WHIPPING PUPILS
All but One Believe Corporal Punish
ment Is Necessary to Dis
cipIne

CHICAGO, March 22.-The efficiency
of corporal punishment in the public
schools again has been brought to the
front as a topic of discussion by. the
Rev. M. p. Boynton, Baptist minis
ter, who, though declining to express
his own views on the subject, declares
that he has written to a number OF
teachers and has found only one who
believes that the abolition of such pun
ishment has aided discipline.
One letter made public says:
There is a spirit of lawlessness and
disrespect a spirit of I'll do what ]
please and a disregard for the rights
Of Others which is appalling. When
other methods of discipline have been
used and found wanting, I believe that
the refractory pupils should be given
a sound trouncing by the principal
Another said: ut would help matters
if the sterner methods of discipline
were revived. l do believe that they
could be dispensed with in most cases.
but there are some children that SIM
Div must have corporal punishment Ill
order to behave"
Still another teacher asserts that a
large percentage of refractory pupils
would be under control If they merely
knew that their teacher or principal
had mower to punish them.

Eastern Locomotive Manufactures
Have Borne Chief Cost of Special
Building at Exposition
in Seattle

SEATTLE, Wash, March 22.-Actual
demonstrations of every railway safety

building and yards of the Alaska,
Yukon-Pacific exposition, which Will
open June 1 in Seattle.
The Transportation building is nov
being hurried TO completion, and
tracks, spurs. switches, and "9s" are
already laid for the most complete ex,
qualification of general and special
railway traffic ever attempted on the
grounds of an exposition.
So DESTROYS were eastern locomotive
builders of taking advantage OF oppor-
tunities of reaching the oriental field
through the medium of the seattle
fair, that they provided the major por-
ton of the $4,000 the Transportation
building has cost, in order that the
structure might be of ample size for
their most complicated illustrations.
Locomotives of all makes and all
periods will be exhibited. Everything,
from the old HAY burners" of the cot
ton belt to the big transcontinental
mogul, will be shown under full steam.
with the last word in Pullman service,
lights, brakes and wireless alarms,
will be daily exhibit.
The electric end of transportation
will be given as complete exhibition
as it's rival. A fully equipped modern
trolley, as we'll as a new underground
trolley, which, it is claimed, does away
with all previous objections to the un-
derground system, will be displayed in
operation.
Every known farm vehicle-reapers,
stackers, harvesters, plows and all
else, even to the harness for the horses
will be shown, and the big traction
harvesters found working throughout
the west will have a place, with all
their down-to-date improvements.

SACRAMENTO, March 22.-As the
result of a meeting of a free conference
committee to consider the direct prl-
mary bill, the following amendment
was adopted tonight by both branches
of the legislature:
by nominating petitions signed and
filed as provided by existing laws, party
candidates for the office of United
States senator shall have their names
placed on the official primary ballots OF
their respective parties in the manner
herein provided for state offices; pro-
yided, however, that the vote for can
didates for United States senators shall
be an advisory vote for the purpose OF
ascertaining the sentiment of the vot-
ers in the respective senatorial and as
sembly districts in the respective par
ties, and the senatorial and assembly
nominees shall be at liberty TO vote
either for the choice of such district
expressed at said primary election, or
for the candidate for United States
senator who shall have received the
Endorsement at such primary elections
in the greatest number of districts
electing members of his party to the
legislature"
The bill, as passed by the senate sew
eral weeks ago. provided for the cleo
ton of senators by a direct statewide
would have provided for an advisory
vote by legislative districts.
Amendment a Compromise
The innovation offered by the free
conference committee was a compro-
mise, leaving the manner of election
optional with the legislators.
Almost the entire day was consumed
by the senate in consideration of the
direct primary question. Senator Black
sent telegram from his home in Palo
Alto to Lieutenant Governor Porter,
saving he was unable to come to Sac
ramento and severely criticised the
senate for having adopted a resolution
directing the sergeant-at-arms ia
bring him back If he were able to
travel.
Several conferences were held before
a plan was agreed upon by the leaders
of the regular Republican forces who
favored the district vote proposition.
The assembly adopted the report
unanimously.
Senator Caminetti of Amador was
the only senator who voted against 1t.
The committee consisted of Senators
Wright, Leavitt and Wolfe and Assem-
bIymen Leeds, Hewitt and Johnson of
Sacramento.
In explaining why they voted for the
adoption of the report Stetson, Miller
and Cutten stated they did so because
the bill was the best they could get.
The senate adopted a resolution pro-
viding for adjournment sine die at 10
o'clock tomorrow night.
The assembly passed tonight a bill
prohibiting saloons within one and a
half miles of Stanford university.
