The Cows Of Muscat.

Muscat is famed as the hotbed OF
smugglers in the Persian gulf. the
nearby desert tribes being regularly
supplied with arms despite the efforts
Of the British patrol. But to the writ
er, reared on q Missouri farm. the odd
antics of the cows Of Muscat seemed
nothing short Of freakish. They actu-
ally eat fish. No grass grows. SO the
willy Arab teaches his family COW to
subsist on dates and dried fish. The
milk tastes queer to a foreigner.
which is probably why the Arab likes
1t. He also claims it is richer and
makes more butter. but most ridicu-
lous Of all is the deception practiced
on cows when the calves are "wean-
ed" A calfskin or sometimes goat
skin is stuffed with rags and tied not
far from where the mother cow is an
chored. This effigy Of her late lament
ed offspring soothes her nerves and
keeps her from 'going dry" according
to Arabic tradition. San Francisco

(By Associated PreSS.)

Chicago, Feb. 22.-The Chicago
packers for whom indictments have
been reported in New Jersey must
go there to give bond according to
information received from Jersey
City, where true bills charging con-
spiracy were expected to be returned

The contention of the packers is
that they have been guilty of no con-

from the action of the New Jersey
jury.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 22.-The most
important case to come up for hear
ing in the Federal court session for
the Biloxi division of the southern dis.
trict this week is the injunction pro-
ceedings instituted by several of the
largest trunk lines in the state to re-
strain the Mississippi railroad COM
mission from enforcing its new rates

The rates in question were pro-
mulgated last November, to take ef
feet on the 1st of January. and a few
days prior to that date the temporary
restraining orders were applied fol-
and granted by Judge Niles.
The principal purpose of the com
mission in lowering the compressed
cotton rate was to divert good por
ton of this class of traffic to Missis

gulf, chiefly the harbor at Gulfport
and the Gulf & Ship Island road
which has it's terminals at Gulfport

NECESSARY TO
EXTEND session
Legislature Cannot ~Get Rid Of Rev
enue and Appropriation Bills With
out Extension Of Time.
Special to The NeaoS.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. pa deter
mined effort will be made in both
houses of the legislature this week to
get rid of the revenue and appropria-
tion bills, but it is a certainty that
the calendars cannot be cleared of
legislation of this character before the
close Of the week, and it will be nec-
essary for Governor Noel to again ex.
tend the time.
The session expires by limitation
on Tuesday, March 1st, and, accord
ing to the floor leaders in house and
senate, it will take at least two weeks
longer, or until March 18th, to dis
patch the pending business.
The status of affairs will be report
ed to the Governor during the week,
with a request for extension Of the
limit. It is not absolutely sure, how
ever, that the Governor will authorize
an extension of two weeks, as he may
conclude that ten days will be suff
cient.
1t usually takes about a week for
the legislature to consider the general
revenue and privilege tax bill, now
being prepared by the ways ano
means committee. 1t is expected
that Chairman Stennis will report this
measure before the close of the
week, and, under the rules, it can bt

about three days for its disposal II

The financial problem is going t.
be troublesome one for the law
makers. On one hand it is eviden
that, by downright penury in dealin

appropriations can be kept With
prospective revenues for the ensuin
biennial period. On the other hant
if any measure of liberality is shown
and the educational and eleemosenar

900 to 100000 is in prospect. Thes

OLD FISH TRAP DESTROYED
Missouri Continuance That Dates
Away Back From Time Of
the indians.

Emmett c. Higgins and Otto
Witt, game wardens, destroyed with
dynamite the fish trap on the Chari-
ton river. It had been in use for
many years and was netting its own
.er from $4,000 to $500 year.
Ben Clark, the owner Of the place,
protested that he had purchased the
trap along with the farm and that
the fishing rights had been handed
down for years to the owners Of the
farm.
He declared that he could not be
deprived Of them by law. There
were many farmers waiting around
the trap for a supply Of fish, for
which they paid four cents a pound.
The fish usually caught in the trap
were buffalo, cat, carp and croppy,
weighing from one to fifty poundA
Catfish weighing 100 pounds have
frequently been caught in the old
trap.
The trap was a curious invention,
consisting Of heavy timbers placed
midway Of the stone dam. Fish
coming down stream would float
into it. The catch for day would
frequently fill an ordinary farm
wagon. It is said that the dam and
trap were originally built by the In
dians. The owners have cleared
more money from the sale of fish
than from the produce of the farms.
Frequent complaints have been made
made Of this method of catching
fish, but until a few days ago no
action was taken.-Kansas City
Times.
