The opening meeting of the Georgia leg
islature, which occurred Wednesday at IL
O. clock, was distinguished mainly for the
reading Of the governors annual mes
sage, which consumed most of the time
of both branches of the assembly. The
senate adjourned at lbs o'clock and tbs
house at IL 40 o'clock.
Quroums were present both in the SEN
ate and house, and practically all the
members were in their seats when Speak
er John n. Holder, in the house, and
President John NJ. Slaton, in the senate,
called their respective branches to order.
1t was in renovated quarters that the
legislators found themselves Walls, cell
ings and wood work had been done over,
and the Respondent seal OF the state Of
Georgia appeared above the president s
ami speakers platforms. The whole color
scheme was gayer in effect than the
former legislators had been accustomed
to.
B. NJ. Blackburn, executive secretary,
varied the stereotyped procedure some
what by presenting TO each member q

The Dou Law AGAIN.

From various sources we hear that
the legislature which assemblies in At
lanta today is intent upon one thing. as
the first thing of superior Importance
to the country, namely, the repeal OF
the dog law now on the statute DOCKS
of Georgia. Everybody has discovereo
that dogs have become scarcer in the
land without hurting anything or any
bodva and that there. are fewer victims
being hurried to the Pasteur cure In At
lanta because of mad dogs, and the viru-
lence of their attacks on men, women
and children has decreased, that there
has been some freedom from suck-egg
dogs and poultry yards have prospered
thereby, but all the same the WORD -
being passed around that dogs are 10
be and remain a privileged class In TINS
country, and that they can annoy at
tack and destroy at their own sweet
will Izdo MOI know when l have ex-
perienced such a wave of disgust as
when / discovered that we should be az
hicted with so-called representatives who
should really be called representatives
for dogs! What a drop. Oh, my coun-
try!
AS some one aptly remarked many
wears since, the more i see of men.
the more respect 1 have for dogs!
Not many weeks ago the beautiful lit
tie boy of one of my near neighbors
was setzupon fby-a dog that had hither-
to borne a good reputation as dog,
and the little fellow bit until he and
his parents were frightened beyond de-
scriction.
For. weeks they suffered tortures or
anxiety because experts pronounced the
dog afflicted with rabies; its head was
sent to Atlanta. That was the second
case that had occurred this spring. with
in a stones throw of my own residence.
What tortures of dread those parents
suffered we can imagine, but l cannot
describe at this writing
h These dreadful things are happening
all around in spite of the fact that The
dog tax has thinned out the dog poDu-
lation by at least one-half in my neigh
borhood..
Yet we are gravely told that there are
men in the present legislature who have
promised to repeal the dog law, In al
swer to the clamor. that is heard from
sorry and indifferent dog owners, who
have no regard for the danger or the
sufferings of humanity-but who are ac-
customed to keep a gang of worthless
ours that will prey on the neighborhood
when they are ill-fed at home.
dog that is worth having is worth
paying tax upon according TO value. but
even then the dog should be kept at
home and not allowed to prey on inno-
cent and helpless people.
Poor old Georgia. When 1 think OF
the times when we had men of sense
and ability in the Georgia legislature
and discover that we are now in the
clutch of those who are only able to
IegisIate for dogs, my modification is ex-
IRENE.
So far as 1 am able to do So pro-
nd carf lin
~ 1 shall tag the men who draw heavy
pay from the state treasury simply TO
represent the owners of worthless ours!
We are confronted with many and Sc
rious problems in legislation, but these
misfits can't see anything before them
selves but the protection of dangerous
and worthless dogs.

FOR LOVE OF A WOMAN.
Ward Mower Tells Why He Brutally
Murdered His Friend

Kansas City, Jan. S.-Love for a
woman caused Ward Mower, of Falls
City, Neb., to murder Neil McCoig,
his former employer and fellow
townsman, near Kansas City, KAN,
on the night of December 27. This
was the confession Mower made to
the officials in the Wyandotte county,
Kansas, Jail where he is held awaiting
trial. Mower had previously con-
fessed the murder.

81 met a beautiful woman. We plan
ned to wed when I secured enough
money. After leaving the army I
tried hard to earn enough money to
make our wedding possible, but fate
seemed against me.
'fThen I learned that McCoig had
some notes. l stole them, thinking I
could sell the papers and get money
for our marriage.
t'McCoig learned I had the notes
and he accused me of the theft. I had
not negotiated them but I knew he
would be able to prove I was the
thief. Rather than have my people
know I was thief I killed him. With
that act I ended all my chance of
winning my sweetheart for wife,
Mower refused to give the woman's
name. He seemed greatly affected
when he told his story. He has asked
the authorities to hurry his trial as
he wants to get into prison as soon as
possible.

WEEDS THRICE; NO DIVORCE.
Peculiar Marital Tangle Yet 1t Is De-
clared Legal.

Joplin, Mo-. Jan. S.-That a man
may have a wife and then discover
he hasn't one was demonstrated in
circuit court Yesterday in the trial of
the suit of L. w. Jones against Grace
Strahan. alias Grace Jones, for annul-
ment of his marriage to her in Sedg-
wick county, Kansas, on May rs.
The woman married Fred Strahan
in Kansas six years ago. Last Feb
ruary she sued Strahan for divorce
and was granted a decree. On May 20
she married Jones. Their married
life was happy and she suddenly dis
covered that under the Kansas divorce
laws a decree does not become effective
until six months after it has been
granted.
Therefore she was not divorced from
Strahan when she married Jones.
Following out the same line of argu-
ment, she could not have been mar
ried to Jones. So she left him, and in
order to make assurance doubly sure
again married Strahan within the six
months after the divorce from him.
Jones wasn't satisfied with the stu
alton and brought suit here to have
the marriage annulled. Judge Bright
set the ceremony aside, and Jones
again is q bachelor.

sTRICKLETT is SHUT OUT.
Former Kansan Still a Baseball Out
law, the Ruling.


Cincinnati, Jan. S.-The national
baseball commission has announced its
findings regarding several former
major league players whose reinstate-
ment or return to the clubs with
which they served before joining the
California State league was sought by
Secretary MorIng of that organization.
The gist of the decisions was given out
Wednesday after the annual meeting
of the commission. The announce
ment, however, reveals several impor-
tant details.
John Healon, former first baseman
of the Pittsburg team, is restored to
good standing and awarded to the
Oakland club. The commission states
that this finding is because of the
Pittsburg club waving it's rights in the
matter.
Elmer Stricklett and Thomas Shee-
han. former members of the Brooklyn
team; Monte Phyle and Outfielder
Henderson are denied reinstatement
as members OF the California league.
The finding in these cases puts upon
the players themselves the burden of
proving that they are entitled to recog-
milton by organized baseball.
The fifth case related to H. Smith.
an outfielder. AS previously announced
he was awarded to the Chicago Ma
tional league team under a contract
signed before the California league
was relieved of its "outlawry.''

SHIPPING STOCK TO MARKET.
Hard Winter Causes Feeders to Dis
pose of Cattle.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, Jan. s.
During the last few weeks farmers
and stockmen in this vicinity have
marketed many cattle. Some of the
largest feeders have disposed of all
their fat stock and are now keeping
only what stock they will feed through
the winter and turn on pasture in the
spring.
While this has been a hard win
ter on cattle and the work of feeding
and caring for them has been about
twice as great as usual, yet farmers
over the county have generally sue
ceeded in putting their stock in good
condition for market.
All kinds of feed and grain have
been high this winter, but there has
been plenty of it and the supply left
on hand now will probably bs more
than enough to take care of all the
stock carried through the winter.
Crocker Bros. of Bazaar and Mat
field have shipped twenty carloads of
fat steers to Kansas City during the
last two weeks. They fulfilled several
big punches this winter and have now
marketed about all of these. James
Burnley of this city sent six cars of
stock this week. Mrs. J. w. Mitchler
of Sharp's Creek recently shipped five
cars of cattle and hogs to Kansas City.
