EXECUTIONS IN PRIVATE.
Opposition Being Manifested to Public
HauQings

Jack effort will be made
at the next session Of the legislature
TO secure the passage of law requiring
that all executions be in private, and
strong fight viii be made for its pas
sage.
At the last session of the legislature
bill providing that all executions be
private was introduced, but, with many
other measures of merit, it was stran-
gled TO death in the Judiciary committee
room, executed in private, so to speak,
and the members did not get oppor-
tunity to express their views on the
subject.
The new measure, it is understood,
will provide that all legal executions,
instead OF being held in counties where
the crimes were committed, take place
at one OF the state prison farms, and
there IS a proba ability that effort
Will also be made to substitute the
electrical chair for the gallows.

REAL MILEAGE TO BE CHARGED.
Not Allowed to Calculate Fares in Null
tiples of Five.

Jaekson.-The railroad commission is
In receipt of revised passenger tariff
sheet from one of the roads doing bust
ness ia this state, in which it is stated
that the interstate Commerce Commits
sion has adopted rule prohibiting rail-
roads from charging fares in multiples
of five, thus making it necessary for the
road to revise its rates.
1t has been the custom of railroads
for years to charge rates ending in 5
or o, paying no attention to the odd
cents but it seems that under this rul-
ing that it is to be done away with, and
hereafter they must charge only for the
actual number of miles travelled.
For instance, in the past when pa
tron of a road desired to go from one
place to another distance of, say, 80
miles, he paid fare of one dollar, but
under the new rule the railroads will be
prohibited from charging more than 90
cents, giving the passenger the benefit
OF the one cent change out of his dollar
bill instead of having it fall to the road.
