Bill to Aid Deserted Wives.

Divorce in England is a luxury Of
the rich and now it is proposed to
legislate to make easier the burden
of wives deserted and left without re-
sources, the New York Press says.
Lord Gorelli has taken up the fight
and hopes to see bill go through
parliament. He says there are many
thousands of wives in England who
have been deserted and left in poverty
to work their own way out. The con-
dition, he holds, is an invitation to
bigamy, and he points out still anoth-
err flaw and injustice in the system.
Many wives have risen up and won
natural independence single handed,
and the husbands, hearing of this,
have returned and seized their prop
erty. Everything belongs to the hus-
band in England. and Lord Gorelli
says the law needs revising in the in
don saved $500 in 20 years out Of her
weekly allowance from her husband
for household expenses. The husband
took to drink, the furniture was sold,
the home broken up and the couple
separated. The existence of the $500
came to the knowledge of the hus-
band, and, now drunken sot, he went
into court and the Judge, deploring he
had no alternative, had to sign an or
der giving him the money.

BAILEY and BRYAN
in joint DEBATE
Texan and Nebraskan viii Meet in
Atlanta For the Purpose of Argu-
ing Their Differences.


Special 10 The NeDs
ATLANTA, Ca, September 3O-A
joint debate of the tariff by William
Jennings Bryan and Senator Joseph
w. Bailey, of Texas, at Atlanta, is as
sured, the meeting to be held soma
time next month.
Senator Bailey has wired his accept,
ance of the formal invitation extended
by the Young Mems Democratic
League of Atlanta, for a joint debate
between himself and Mr.. Bryan. While
no reply to the invitation has been
received from Mr.. Bryan, advices to
the Constitution from FIT. Worth, Tex
as, are to the effect that Mr.. Bailey
wired Mr.. Bryan of his acceptance of
the invitation incorporating in his
message to the former Democratic
standard-bearer personal requst, that
he, too, accept and fix the date of the
meeting.
Mr.. Bryan will arrive at his home,
Lincoln. Neb., tomorrow and is ex-
pected to formally accept the invita-
ton and suggest suitable date.
When Mr.. Bryan spoke in Ell Paso,
Texas, last week, an effort was made
to arrange joint debate between him.
self and Senator Bailey. At that time
he stated that he would not consider
the matter unless Mr.. Bailey should
make personal request for s"ch
meeting.
Think Bryan Will Accept
Now, that Senotar Bailey has made
the personal request" it is believed
that Mr.. Bryan will be only too glad
to meet Mr.. Bailey and discuss with
him the question of free raw mate
rails. concerning which their respec--
tive views ale widely different.
The Democratic convention of Tex
as opposed the plank in the national
Democratic platform. declaring for
free raw material and Senator Bailey
attacked that feature of the party's
platform on the floor of the senate
Mr.. Bryan went to Texas about two
weeks ago, and in a number OF
speeches, assailed the attitude of Mr.
Bailey on this subject, the latter de-
Tending his position from platforms in
various parts of the state.

Special TO The Mems
JACKSON, Miss, September 80
Judge w. H. Cook, of Hattiesburg,
who came up to see Governor Noel
who happened to be out of the city at
the time, is having rather hard fight
for his seat on the bench, his term
expiring next May and there being
two other applicants for the place.
One of these, Hon. Paul Johnson, liv-
ing in Hattiesburg, where Judge Cook
himself lives, and where Mr.. Johnson
was for some time the city police JUS
tice. The other, Mr.. c. l.. Foxworth,
of Columbia, is we'll known member
of the Marion county bar.
Judge Cook is said to have made a
good record in his district the
Twelfth, and to have good-sized
batch of Endorsements. He and the
governor are regarded as being good
friends, and information from several
sources in the district leads to the
speculation that he has a rather good
chance to be reappointed, although the
appointment is not scheduled to be
made until about New Year, to be con-
firmed during the session of the leg

One of the blackest eyes that
Keytesville gets at the hands of

fact that there is no telephone at
the depot and no night street car
service. Three young ladies who
come to attend the teachers ex.
smination reached the station Fri
day night, but had no way of
getting word up town to a livery
man, and as the street car does
not go down to the night trains
the ladies had to sit in the depot,
which is nothing but a boxcar,
the remainder of the night.

Switchman Killed

A. H. Perry, employed as switchman in the local yards, was run over and killed carly Wednesday morning while en- gagged in switching q train of cinders. Just how the accident happened is not known, no one having been close enough to see what was going on, the other switchman being some distance away. One theory is that Mir. Perry had a fainting spell and fell between the cars while at tempting to make q cut One car passed completely over him, literally cutting him in two. His watch and other articles in his pockets were mingled with his flesh and broken beyond any semblance of recognition.
 Mir. Perry, who was about 30 years of age, was d new arrival here having been in the service of the Santa Fe but about three weeks, coming here from some eastern road. His wife and three children, as well as his aged par ents, reside at Sheldon, Iowa, to which point the remains were shipped Wednesday evening.
 The inquest was held Wednes- day morning in the office of Jus tice of the Peace, Geo. C. Reed, who is also Coroner, the verdict being that death was accidental.

The committee on arranging the Independence Day celebration were busy last week making col lections of the amount subscribed by the various business men of the town and were agreeably surprised to find that many of them had decided to increase their subscription and were now more heartily in favor of the movement than when they were first approached. The collections were nearly all made and the financial end of the affair is now nearly complete so that the ex- ecutive committee are able to list their events and arrange the purses in accordance with the amount in si ght Everyt hing is now in readiness and d program will be issued some time during the coming week giving full in formation of the various events to be pulled off and the hour at which they will start Sub com mittees have been appointed and all sports will be listed and put in charge of a competent com petent committee. There will be running races for boys as well as men, and it is probable that the ladies will also have a chance to show their speed. The program as finally outlined will be in the hands of the printer early in the coming week and will be printed in the MAIL next Saturday.

They were all gathered up the next day, coyotes having fright ened them from the vicinity oi the stock yards and scattered them through the surrounding country.
