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

,Jackson.-The railroad commission is
in receipt of a revised passenger tariff
sheet from one OF the roads doing BUSH
ness in this state, in which it is stated
that the interstate Commerce Commits
sion has adopted a 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 8
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 a pa
tron OF a road desired to go from one
place to another a distance of, say, 80
miles, he paid a fare of one dollar, but
under the new rule the railroads will be
prohibited from charging more than SO
cents, giving the passenger the benefit
of the one cent change out of his dollar
bill instead of having il fall to the road.

VETERANS HONOR STRICKEN CHIEF
Gen. Gordon, Ill, Saluted by Passing
Parade.

Little Rock, Ark.-While bands played
historic airs, the soldiers Of the Old
South marched through the streets OF
this city in their twenty-6rst annual
parade. Instead of their commander
in-chief, Gen. George w. Gordon, of Mem
phis, Tenn, being at their head or IN
the reviewing stand, he was confined to
his hotel by the orders Of physicians.
As the line of march passed the hotel
the rooms occupied by the general were
saluted. The reviewing stand that had
been intended for officials was given
over to aged and inlrm veterans, al
though many were In line who had lost
a leg, an arm or were famed from
wounds received at war.
In the place of Gen. Gordon, Gen. X.
NJ. Vanzandt of Fort Worth, with
Adit.. Gen. William L. Mickle of New
Orleans, led the procession. The two
were followed by the staff of the COM
mander-in-chief.
Covering a distance of nearly two
miles from the starting point to where
the counter march was made, the parade
required about two hours to pass a
given point.
A marked feature of the parade was
the number of old flags, some of then
hardly more than tatters. One that at
tracted much attention was borne b.
the Tennessee division. 1t had Seer
service in Iuka, Corinth, Oak Hill an'
other noted engagements, including tina
Of the siege Of VickSburg.

we get hundreds Of queries, all
alike in their general nature, and while
we can tell them what the law says
regarding the elections, we cannot de-
termine whether they have stated the

therefore decided to let the commits

ate these matters and determine who

cen properly instructed in the mean

EXECUTIONS IN PRIVATE.
Opposition Being Manifested to Public
Hangings.

Jackson.-Another effort will be made
at the next session Of the Legislature
to secure the passage Of a law requiring
that all executions be in private, and
a strong fight will 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 an 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 n of the state prison farms, and
there is a probability that an effort
will also be made to substitute the
electrical chair for the gallows.
