Will ESTABLISH A
STATE HOSPITAL

Jackson, Miss, March 9.-Immedi-
ately following the passage Of the
house bill providing for the establish
ment of a state charity hospital by
the senate Monday afternoon the
friends of the measure announced
that they will launch a vigorous fight
to secure an appropriation to carry
out the provisions thereof.
The bill as passed does not carry an
appropriation, merely declaring the
purpose of the state to establish a
charity hospital in Jackson, and the
plan in view is to locate the institu
ton on the state lands in the northern
part of the city Immediately adjacent
to the blind institute.
1t is estimated that it will cost about
800 900 to erect and equip a suitable
building, and, since it is becoming
evident that it will be impossible tc
make adequate provisions for all state
institutions in the way of appropria
lions without authorizing bond is
sue, it is expected that provisions will
| be made for the charity hospital.

The Explorers Forced Him to Lead

A party of explorers, four in num-
Der, were travelling across the sandy
plains Of Western Australia. They had
been struggling on for weeks and
were now greatly in need of water.
Their two camels had not had any
water to drink for nearly fortnight
After time they came to a deserted
camp hidden among some trees.
While they were looking at the still
smoldering campfres they were star.
tied by some dreadful yells. and a
shower of spears. thrown by a mum.
Der Of black savages, came flying
about them.
This made the travellers so angry
that they rushed after the blacks, who
fed in all directions. After a stern
chase they found one of the savages
up tree. AS he would not come
down, one of the travellers climbed the
tree after him.
Presently a branch of the tree gave
way, and they both came tumbling
down, but without hurting themselves
much
The travellers asked the black man
where they could find some water, but
he would not say.
Then they tried to get friendly with
him and gave him some food. But
although he enjoyed the food, he
would not tell them where water was
to be found.
Then one of them had an idea.
He took some timed meat, mixed
into It handful Of salt and gave it to
the hungry savage The black soon
cleared it up and seemed to enjoy it,
much to the amusement of the travel
ems. Then bhey sat down and waited.
In about an hour the savage began
to get sdgety and wanted 30 leave

Curley has just pulled off his third
stunt in taking French leave of the

the Rankin state farm yesterday, and
thus far the authorities have not sue
ceeded in capturing him. Bloodhounds
followed the trail for several hours,
finally losing it in the Pearl River
swamp.
The first escape of Curley was on
March 5th, 1907, and he remained at
large about sixty days. In October
of the same year, he again escaped,
and remained at large until Septem-
Der 29, 1908, a period of nearly one
year. If he had seen fit to serve his
term continuously, and had abstained
from vacations without leave, his five.
