An appropriation OF $4,000 to

MAD DOG KILLED
ON MILLER Street
Early Appearance Of Rabies Calls For
Prompt Action on Part of
City Officials.

The first mad dog of the season
made it's appearance in Hattiesburg
this morning, and created considera-
BILE excitement among inhabitants of
Miller street, who noticed its peculiar
behavior and Immediately too steps
toward safety. The animal was killed
by Ernest Russell before it had an
opportunity to do anyone any injury.
The early appearance of rabies
among dogs impresses the necessity
for prompt and thorough action on the
part of the authorities to begin a war
of determination of worthless and
vagrant CANNES, and the sooner the
dog catcher gets busy the safer the
public will feel
Notwithstanding the fact that
many dogs were killed in this city last
summer, there still remains surplus
of worthless providers, and it has been
suggested that as many of these as
possible be gotten out of the way be-
fore the real hot weather arrives.

EXTEND SESSION
OF Legislature to April 10 in Event
Business Cannot Be Finished
Before That Date.

jackson, Miss, March 12.-The
opinion is growing among members
of both houses that it will be impos-
work and adjourn sine die on the 25th
OF March without leaving large
amount of important business in un-
finished condition on the calendars.
This has given rise to talk of an
other extension of the time limit, and
members who have discussed tho SUBJ
ject with Governor Noel during the
past few days say that the chief ex-
ecutive is willing to grant an exten-
sion to April 10th, in case it is con-
clusively show that all business of
Importance cannot be disposed of
prior to March 26th.
Unless the two bodies hold three
sessions daily, and virtually abandon
all new legislation that has been
proposed recently, or which has not
been reported upon by committees, it
Is an inevitable conclusion that an
adjournment on March 26th will
mean large amount of important
business left in unfinished shape.
Scores of members in both bodies
are anxious to get away as soon as
possible and some have already taken
French leave, with no intention of re-
turning before final adjournment 1t
is doubtless true that at least one
half the members are now staying
in Jackson at a personal sacrifice
that business matters at home are
being neglected, and they would be
financially benefited by immediate
adjournemnt. The members from the
agricultural districts are equally
anxious to get away in order to look
after spring planting.
In the face of this fact the legisla
ture undoubtedly has enough work to
keep it busy three or four weeks
longer 1t is hardly likely, however
that any definite conclusion in regard
to adjournment date will be reached
until the final day of the session
! Governor Noel will wait until the
! week beginning March 18th, and ther
/ ascertain the state of the calendar!
before deciding whether to send il
another message of extension.

moters of the organization yesterday
intimated that the amount of the for
felt required would probably be re-

having made requests to this effect In
order that the league might be per-
fected and the season opened on
schedule time.
