Corsets for Fall,

The widespread discussion of paniei
styles is doubtless responsible for the
reports regarding a change in corset
lines, says the Dry Goods Economist.
There Is no cause for alarm, however,
as the straight linz still dominates
both in costumes and in corsets. We
shall have many paniers, to be sure,
but they are modified styles with no
fullness to distend the hip line.
Belts also will be widely used, but
they will not draw in the waists. In
fact, they are wholly ornamental and
used in quite loose effect.

23 OFFERED THUS FAR

Jackson, Miss, January S.-(Special,)-A number of the members of the legislature spent the morning hours yesterday at the capitol going over their mail and reading the papers, while others patron ized the various churches-especially those who are accompanied to Jackson by their wives.
 The prospect is that there will he flood of bills introduced during the week. So far there have been 13 offered in the house and eight or ten in the senate. Because of the importance of some of those already offered the discussions will no doubt be lengthy-or would be if the opposition was strong enough to make decent showing. The only contention will be as to detail. the great majority being so well organized and so thorough ly of one way of thinking that there is small room for debate on the main ques- tions involved
 One of the most important laws sug- gested is the creation of a state board of equalization, charged with a revision of the assessment rolls with a view to making the burden of taxation bear on all alike.
 The disposal of the old capitol is an- other matter that will come up, and that is a proposition on which there is great divergence of opinion-some demanding It's preservation, while otnere would tear it down and sell the grounds for business purposes It has come to pass that some thing must be done with the building, now the home of rats, bats and owls, The commercial spirit is to sell it, the sentimentalists would preserve it for what it has been and spend thereon a suf- hcient sum of money to make it habitable for some of the state departments once more.
