that for long time, until the vision
vanished forever, no member of the
crew ever consented to make a second
voyage. The Nottebohm was one 81
the old Liverpool packet ships, which
carried steerage passengers as well
as freight. During one of her pre-
vious voyages the captain and several
of her crew had had a terrific strug-

died as a result of his wounds. No

There was a terrific storm one
night and the apparition was for once
in a way pretty well forgotten in the

The night was very black and no one
felt any too secure as they slipped

they felt the ship come about so

But the Swede and his Italian

 Pine Bluff, Feb. 3.-Briefs will be submitted to Judge C.. M. Philpot Thursday morning by attorneys for both sides in the saloon petition hearing here, fol- lowing closing of testimony Monday afternoon.
 Decisions may be given the latter part of the week, but the general opinion is that the judge will refuse to grant license.
 The court estimated the total white adult population at 6,047. The remonstrants challenged l. 425 of 3,715 names on petitions and rebuttal testimony had reached only about two hundred of the challenged names when the case rested.

 AIr. Hitchcock is arguing against the system which limits legislative sessions to sixty days. His argument is incontroyertible in connection with the folly of expecting wholesome, legislation from a body which is chosen anew every biennium and con- sists of green hands except in the case of the senate, where the hOldovers comprise half of the membership. But the weak ness of the system is traceable more to the feature which i'm poses so extensive a membership than to the time limitation upon regular sessions. This fact is recognized by the remedy pro- posed:
 Could not five men represent the people of their state as we'll as 150 divided into two separate and distinct bodies--another an tiquity handed down from Mo- ther England, when the Lords were against the commons. If five is too small, make it ten, and if ten is too small make it eleven, but not such a number but what we can afford to pay them for their time and whatever ability they may have. We would have much the better chance to realize on the investment.
 No rational man would, of course, propose this system in the absence of the initiative, re- ferendum and recall. But under these wholesome features we are all-every citizen of the state old enough to vote-members of the legislature. We possess the power to either annul an act of the legislative body or initiate one which it fails to grant us,- Oklahoma City Oklahoman.

 There have been rumOrs that the company expect to put in an electric system this year, install ing a dynamo and large Cor liss engine to furnish the power. A system of this kind would have much advantage over the old type of gin as the cotton could then be handled much quicker. There has never been g time in the busy season that the plant could keep up with the ginning and running both day and night. The company also buys cotton and seed which make quite little business for our little city.

Hon. Henry c. Stuart has just been inaugurated governor of Virginia with one of the most impressive ceremonies ever car ried out on such an occasion in the Old Dominion. On the same day he began his administration of the affairs of the state with the full confidence of the people who elevated him to the high of- flee of chief executive.
