BAN IS PLACED
ON FREAK DANCE
New-fangIe Dances viii Not
Be Tolerated by Episcopal
Church Says Dispatch.

The following special dispatch from
San Antonio is of interest in regard to
the light it throws upon the view
taken by the Episcopal Church in
Texas of the new-fangled dances.
The ban Of the Episcopal Church
was placed upon the turkey trot, the
bunny hug and the Texas Tommy,
when the council of the West Texas
diocese, in ninth annual session here
this afternoon, adopted a resolution
approving a pronouncement by Bis
hop j. S. Johnson on the subject of
immoral dances.
The bishop declared that he would
refuse to confirm any person,
either male or female, who will not
agree to give up these immodest,
vulgar and indecent forms of amuse-
ment," and made it plain that he
would expect church members under
his jurisdiction to abstain from holy
communion if they indulge in the
dances which he forbade.
Immoral dances popularized in
high society circles, he said, are re-
sponsible, both directly and Indirect
ly for much of the divorce evil. In
their connection he asserted that San
Antonio leads the world in the num-
Der of divorces, there being one di-
vorce for every four marriages in the
Alamo City. In summing up, he
said:
"The finger of history points to
calamity like the French
revolution if these evils remain un-

Mr.. SEAvER WELL SATISFIED

NEBRASKA.
THREE new INDUSTRIES.
Representatives Of Capitalists
Coming In JuIy-The Hote!
Proposition Also Taken
Up By Them.

w. @. Seaver, head of the Mississ-
ipp Northwestern Railroad enter
prise, returned the first of the week
from his two weeks trip to Omaha,
Neb., the proposed western terminus
of the new trunk line from the Gulf
Coast. Mr.. Seaver went West for
the purpose of arranging for a con-
tracing firm to take up and finance
the project and he returned well
satisfied with the results of his trip.
He states the western men are en-
thusastic over the plans and that
the project will be financed with
French capital. An attorney repre-
senting the western firm of contract
ors is expected to arrive here on the
homeseekers' excursion the first
week in July. He will help to ar
range things for the beginning of con-
Struction work.
While Mr.. Seaver was in the West
the proposed route of the road was
changed, making it shorter and form
ing direct connections with the Rock
Island line. Now it only cuts
through an eastern corner of Arkan-
sas, instead of going across it.
While in the West Mr.. Seaver
made preliminary arrangements for
other enterprises besides railroads.
Men representing capitalists will be
here in a short time to see about
making tling from clay in this vicin-
ity, glass from the sand and to ar
range for establishing canning factor
les to put up figs and other fruits
and vegetables-an industry that has
been neglected here.
The western men, when told
about the move to erect new hotel
on the beach, stated to Mr.. Seaver
that as soon as the SIS, 900 was
raised here they would add $50, 900
to it and construct a SIS 900 fire
proof hotel and make all arrange
ments for conducting it on profit
able basis They think it an excel
lent place for a resort hotel, as well
as a trunk line railroad terminal
point.
The Railway and Engineering Re-
view of May 81 devoted an entire
page to a description Of the Mississ-
ippi Northwestern enterprise and to
cuts of the proposed station and
terminal buildings in Pascagoula.

General Falls to Change
Original Decision.

Jackson, Miss, June 19.-For the
second time the Mississippi supreme
oeurt Monday declared the auto
mobile tax law passed by the legis-
lature of 1912 to be unconstitutional.
This decision was rendered two
weeks ago, but the attorney general
filed a suggestion of error. The
court declared it saw no reason to
Grange its original decision. This
means that the next legislature will
be called upon to return SIS, 900 COL

over the state.
The auditor has been appealed to,
time and again by individuals to re-
fund them what they paid in but
tat official having no fund at his
command, he was bound to turn
them down.

What has been dream for gen.
GRAFTON or more on the part of the
people of New Orleans, cheaper
coal, has become .alization through
a new water route just opened which
taps the coal fields of Alabama, this
new waterway being accomplished
by the recently deepened channels
through the Tombigbee and the Ala
bama rivers into Mississippi Sound
and thence to New Orleans by a
snort cut through Lake Borgne and
the canal connecting the lake with
the river.
While the first shipment was

the forerunner of millions of tons of
coal and marks the accomplishment
Of one of the most important COM

through the shifting bar at the mouth
OF the Mississippi.
For the purpose of accomplishing
just such Improvements as the all

SOUTH IS URGED
TO HOLD CATTLE
Western Buyers Purchasing Scrub
Cows Through All The
Southern States.

Washington, June 19.-Dunne
the past twelve months cattle buyers
have been active in Louisiana, Miss.
issippi, Alabama, Georgia and Flor
ida, purchasing cattle to be shipped
to the Middle Western markets as
either cannners or stockers. The
prices paid for Gamers during this
period have been so high that thous-
ands of cows and heifers have gone
to the shambles which should have
been retained on the farms for breed
ing purposes. This is especially
noticeable when the receipts of
Southern cattle at the St. Louis
market for the last twelve months
are compared with those Of any pre-
vious period of similar length. The
receipts Of Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana cattle at that market have
almost doubled during this period.
Since the first Of February buyers
from the farms and ranches of the
West have been securing the Gulf
States in search of breeding stock.
A few years ago this class of cattle
would have been scorned by the
Western ranchman as breeding stock,
but with the shortage Of cows for
breeding the ranchers are glad to get
these cheap cows, to which they
will breed good beef bulls. The
half-breeds resulting from this mat
ing make fairly desirable beef
animals.
The South is especially adapted
to raising cattle, because OF the long
grazing season, the enormous areas
of cheap land, much Of which is now
lying idle, the great variety Of past
ure grasses and legumes which grow
luxuriantly on all soils, and because
of the mild winters.
The farmers of the South are,
therefore, urged to discontinue this
wholesale shipping Of their female
cattle to other States, to free the
pastures of the cattle tick, and to
increase the number and quality of
their cattle oy the use of pure-bred
beef bulls. The progeny will not
only grow faster and make larger and
better cattle, but will be far more
profitable to raise and to feed than
are the natives. The soils will be
in fertility by the manure,
which gives such profitable returns
when applied to the cotton crop and
puts vegetable matter into the soil.
The amount of commercial fertilizer
necessary to produce crop will be
reduced and a more bountiful yield
will be produced,

WALKING and Muscular Work.

The muscular work performed in the
simple act of walking is much greater
than most of us have any idea Of
Walking at the moderate rate of three
miles an hour is equivalent to lifting
the body perpendicularly through one
twentieth of the distance walked. If
the person walk one mile at the rate
mentioned the amount of work done
would be equivalent to lifting the body
perpendicularly through a distance of
264 feet. Supposing person weighing
$50 pounds walks five miles, he is do
ing work which equals the lifting Of
nearly eighty-eight tons one foot high.
Yet all the movements of walking are,
in the case Of a healthy person, per-
formed quite subconsciously, so that
all the muscles employed In the act
are actually exercising and develop
