! Probably not since the days of the
State debt agitation have the people
of this section been so much inter.
ested in the meeting of the Legisla-
ture as they have been Monday in the
opening proceedings of the Fifty-Sixth
General Assembly Of Tennessee.
News from the scene of action at
Nashville is most eagerly sought and
the telephones have been busy in en-.
deavors to ascertain what is going on
at Nashville. During the morning
hundreds of people called at or tele-
phoned to The Herald office for news.
1t had been expected that the whole
question would be settled at the morn
ing sessions of the caucus and that
by shortly after noon the people would
know whether or not the Senate and
House would be loyal to the people or
become entirely the property Of a cor
rupt and merciless machine and great
was the disappointment here at the
failure of the caucuses to get down to
business.
The first news from Nashville came
in bulletin to The Herald, which
stated that the machine had organized
the House caucus. While this was
bad news to the people here, very
little surprise was expressed, as it
had been evident for several weeks
that the machine had hard and fast |
grip on the majority of the House |
Democrats. One loyal temperance |
Democrat expressed the sentiment of
a good many who were reading the I
bulletin at The Herald Office when he
said: II knew, of course, that the
gang would win for that Patterson
never yet made up it's mind
o do anything that it did not accom-
Dlish, no matter what the methods or
he cost"
Sentiment here being largely with
he prohibition forces, there were few
who did not express regret when it
was ascertained that the Patterson
crew had captured the House and
many bitterly lamented the fact that
he Temperance Democrats had gone
nto the caucus, the general impress
'ion being that coalition with the
temperance Republicans would have
brought better results.

When the news was received here
of the election of Kinney the people
of Columbia fairly went wild. Early
reports had been very discouraging,
but the late news was so good that
people embraced each other.

place on the agenda The existing
statute has failed to give entire sat
isfaction and there is some talk that
the entire law may be repealed. In
well informed circles such action is
not believed probable, but it is likely
that several important amendments
may be made to the law.
The passage of uniform city code
is proposed. Measures for a better
regulation of the liquor traffic will
receive much attention. The enforce
ment of the prohibition law is declar-
ed to have been lax in some respects
and an effort will be made to secure
Legislation prohibiting the sale of liq-
uor in drug stores and for the inspec-
ton of liquor shipped into the state
Other measures to receive attention
at the session will deal with school
matters, warehouses and the grain
trade, the better protection of game
and the initiative and referendum.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 5.-Members{ of
the Kansas legislature, which will
f; convene in regular session one week
from today, are preparing some freak
measures to occupy the time of that
body during the next few months Be
formers with hobbies promise to be
much in evidence, though there lis
grave doubt as to whether very many
of their pet measures will ever addrn
| the statute books.
Among the measures to be proposed
will be one to regulate the price, of
meals on dining cars Another bill
will propose the establishment Of a
free state dormitory for the acconlIjlo-
dation of members of the legislature.
Senator Arson Cooke of Mitchell
county wants. law that will enable
people to know to a. certainty that "a
person is dead before they bury him.
Another member has framed a bill
making it a prison offense for man
to treat another to anything whatever
while running for office Representa-
tive Harbaugh will introduce a bill
to compel people to brand their chick
ems as they do their cattle as means
of protection against thieves.
While these and many other freak
bills probably will be introduced there
will also be many measures of a more
substantial character that will be con-
sidered and acted upon during the
session. A state bank deposit guar
anty law will receive attention, and

ness is before the session, but very
little important legislation of general
interest is expected. The question of
railroad rate legislation will be allow
ed to slumber and as the statewide
prohibition law has not been in op-
Grafton long enough scarcely to afford
a practical test of it's results, it is not
expected that any attempt will be
made at this session to repeal or
amend it. The revision of the reve-
nue. and machinery acts and the gen
eral adjustment of taxation promise
to afford the only lively discussions

Vancouver Editor Tells Stirring
Story of Escaping From

VICTORIA, B. C, Nov. ST R.
Blochberger. publisher of the Westliche
Post. OF Vancouver. lives today, without
even so much as q scratch. telling his
friends Of a fall he had through 1000
feet of space.
According to Mr.. Blochberger's YER
sion Of the incident he was trayersing a
snowbOund pass Of the KoOtenay noun
tains, near RossIand, where he owns
several mining claims While wad.ng
through the snow he discovered he was
beiEg followed by a grizzly bear. Mr..
Blochberger said he had to think and
act quickly: that he did, no one doubts.
according to his story. for he slid down
the track OF an avalanche, incidentally
going over a precipice, after which there
was q tumbling through space. To him
II seemed TO have lasted an hour. At
any rate. when he finally landed he
found himself buried in snow without
injury.
Then he made a calculation. He found
that between him and his pursuer there
was an altitudinous difference OF 1000
feet. It is the record in harmless long
Instance falls. Mr.. Blochberger was
three days in getting 10 a railroad sta
