Cumberland Not Liable.

Among the questions submitted to
Chairman Lee, of the railroad commits
sion the past week was one touching
the liability for repairs and general
upkeep of private rural telephone lines
used by several different parties, which,
however, are operated through the eX-
changes of the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company. A concrete case
in point was brought to the attention
of the commission by an individual who
had constructed such a private line, and
had made a contract with the Cumber'
land company to operate through its
exchange at the nearest exchange point,
paying an agreed contract price Of $22.60
Il year.
Chairman Lee looked into the matter
carefully, and in replying to the com
munication held that, in his opinion, the
Cumberland Telephone Company was not
responsible for the physical upkeep OF
the line, according to the terms OF the
contract, but only for the exchange con
n~ections and service.

The Mississippi Orphans Home.

The board of educators of the Mlssls-
sippi Methodist Orphans Home, at its
annual meeting, III reviewing the present
condition of the institution, found that
there are now 100 children in the home,
which is so crowded that in some eases
there are as many as three children IN
one bed, and even then some have to De
placed on the floor. Three rooms which
were originally used for storerooms and
one ward of the hospital had to be con-
verted into bedrooms in order to get
along at all. In addition to this the
manager has received applications tor
the admission of a great many more
children.
The necessities Of the institution could
not be more urgent, and this condition
ought not to be tolerated or allowed to
exist by a great and cultured people,
such as constitute the citizenship of the
State of Mississippi, and we do not be-
lieve that it will be allowed to exist any
longer than the time required to lay the
facts before the people.

BREAKDOWN CAME AFTER he
REACHED JAPAN.
Made Bishop in 19O6-Son OF q
Pioneer, He Practically
Educated Himself.

Tokio.-Bishop Seth Ward, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, died
Monday afternoon. The bishop arrived
in Kobe last month on his regular tour
of inspection of the Methodist missions
of Japan, and he was taken i'll shortly
after MS arrival. Last week he was re-
ported as gradually sinking, and the
fatal termination of his illness was not
unexpected.
Bishop Ward, who came from Hous-
ton, Tex, sailed from San Francisco.
While he was not suffering from any
chronic complaint, it was known that he
was in poor health, and his friends at
tempted to dissuade him from the trip.
The bishop was 81 years old. He served
as assistant missionary secretary of the
Methodist Epicopal Church, South, from
1902 until 1906, and was elected bishop
in the latter year.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In thu
practice of my profession l have
found SO many points in favor OF
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Gan essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
Of teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet l find 'Grape-Nuts and albu-
men water very nourishing and re-
freShing.'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of IN egg and a spoonful
of fruit juice for ~f1avouring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
my husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
Personally 1 regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv-
GUS prostration or brain fag, a 10 day
trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders
toward nourishing and rebuilding and
in this way ending the trouble.
There's a Reason" and trial proves.

seconds.

New Insect Ravaging Cotton.

Commissioner Blakeslee of the depart
ment of agriculture and has
received from an Amite county planter
specimens of a species of insect closely
resembling the lightning bug, which, ac-
cording to this planter, are ravaging the
cotton crop in that section of the State
The planter says that this bug does not
work in the fields during the day, but
commits his ~depredations at night, and
the disastrous results that follow are
very similar to the ravages at the Mex
lean boil weevil.

Is Needed.

Some idea as to the very great need
of a reformatory system for youthful
convicts, and especially the white con-
victs, is frequently furnished, and one OF
the most eloquent arguments in support
of the proposition is furnished in a let
ter 10 Gov. Noel from District Attorney
d. G. McLaurin, of the Twelfth district.
The statement is brief but significant,
being to the effect that in one county OF
his district there are eight or ten minors
awaiting trial on felony charges OF
greater or less degree.

Pastors Want No Wine.

against the idea that in order to provide
for the success and the completeness OF
detail for the banquet to be given Presl-
den; Taft at that place Nov. 1, wine or
spirituous liquors must be included in
Ike menu. The ministers will present a
formal protest against the inclusion OF

are not necessary to the success OF the

Treasurer Counts Cash.

State Treasurer Edwards balanced OIL
his cash Saturday, to find that the &C
count exceeded that of one year ago on
the same date by s169,673.25.
The figures were: Cash in the drawer,
S65.66; cash in the repositories, $191,-
311.45, or a total cash account of $685.
377.11. On Sept. IS, 1903, the cash bal
ance stood S25,7O3.S6, leaving the differ
ence in favor of 100 as indicated above.
There will be steady drains on the
treasury from now on, and very little
coming in by way of offset, but the pros
poets are that the first of November Will
find quite an unusual balance of cash
for that period of the year.

Carnations Go to Sleep.

Florists often suffer losses through
a habit carnations have of sometimes
going to sleep and never opening
again. A series of experiments made
Ia the Hull botanical laboratory and
described in the Botanical Gazette
makes it seem probable that this
sleep" is caused by the effect of IL
Illuminating gas, to which, ever in very
small quantities, these flowers are
surprisingly sensitive.

Special TO Tribune.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 22-"lni-
auitous nquisitiveness" undesirable
citizen, malicious medder", "clap-
trap craftsmanship" These are some
of the terms which are used to describe
Senator La Toilette and the shake EN-
up" tactics which he has applied to the
consideration of the appropriation bills
in the senate. The insistance of Senator
La Toilette to know what these bills
contain is the cause Of the trouble.
During the past week the senate con-
sidered and passed appropriation bills
carrying in round figures S645, 600, 900.
1t required three days to dispose of the
naval bill with $13S, 600, 600 and the bal
ance of the time to dispose of the post
Office appropriation bill carrying $235,
900, 600, the army bin with $l02, 600. 900,
the pension bill with $3.50, 600, 600 and
the Indian bill with upwards of $l0,-
600, 600.
The two bills which provoked the
greatest amount of discussion We're the
naval and the post Office The discus
sion of the naval bill has directed the
attention Of the country to the fact that
there are lot of political navy yards
scattered up and down the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts but that there Is not IN
the whole country one navy yard that
would be of any practical service in case
a feet was disabled in war. The dis
cussion developed that the repairs and
maintenance Of navy yards of the coun-
try cost during the past year upwards
of 500, 900, 600, while at the same time
the maintenance and repairs of all OF
our battleships cost but IS, 900, 900.
The old leaders of the senate credit
La Toilette with all of the opposition
which developed to the naval bill. 1t
was his protest and objection which
made the consideration of the bill so
over for time sufficient for senators
70 examine it. They did examine and

adherence to the cause of reform fol-
lowed rather closely upon his being
turned down." by the political power
dominant in the state, which selected
j. C. Quarles for the senate.
Under these circumstances it seems
to us little less than preposterous to
talk of the gratitude" due from
La Toilette to Stephenson. 1t would
be much more reasonable to enlarge
upon the gratitude due from Stephenson
to La Toilette, because La Toilette and
his talents could have gotten along
much better without Stephenson and
his money than Stephenson and his
money could have gotten along without
La Toilette and his talents. Without
the prestige and power given him by
his association with La Toilette, Steph-
enson would have found it as impossible
to enter the United States senate as
the historic camel TO go through the
eye of needle.

To Organize Rural Life.

That rural life must be organized be-
fore it can improve, and that the three
educational factors, the home, the
church and the school, must be adapted
to the four-fold endowment of the pupil,
namely: education, health, employment
and social life, were the statements of
Henry Wallace of Des Moines, mem
Der of President Roosevelt's Country
Life commission, in an address at the
farmers course at the University of
Wisconsin. A broader moral education
is needed through the home, the church
and the school, and more wholesome
social life in the country. he declared,
was the greatest need of ALL
The country school was condemned in
every state. The teaching force is in
adequate and poorly trained, and that
the character of the instruction leads
the pupils to city life and fails to inter
est them in rural life.

From The Wpukosba Freeman.
Now as to the assumption that La Fol
lette is bound to Stephenson and all his
works, because of their former associa-
zion what are the facts in the case?
For several years in Wisconsin they
worked together for certain political
ends, Stephenson furnishing his money
and La Toilette his talents. We must
assume that both We're interested in the
success of the movement, and we can
not deny that both apparently desired
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT through the
movement. Mr. La Follette's desire
for leadership cannot be ignored by his
most ardent admirers, and Mr.. Steph-
enson's ambition TO enter the United
States senate has been a conspicuous
factor IN Wisconsin politics for at least
a dozen years Honest and intelligent
people cannot forget that Stephenson S

The Commissioner of Labor at Mad
ison is having such good success IN sup
plying farmers throughout the state
with help that he has decided to seek
renters for all farmer desiring to rent
their farms. Anyone owning farm
who desires tenant or anyone desiring
to rent farm should write to the Com
missioner of Labor at Madison who also
has on file many applications from per-
sons desiring work on farms. Those
farmers who have not yet been supplied
should write him soon. The Bureau OF
Labor is an institution maintained by
the state and its services can be secured
without cost either to the laboring man
or the farmer. The Commissioner has
hundreds of applications from young
men and married men all experienced IN
farm work who desire work on farms.
Farmers should avail themselves of this
opportunity to get help before the spring
work begins because these applicants
will seek work elsewhere and viii not
be available later in the year.
