SOME SENATORS THOUGHT 1T
WAS A NEW DRINK, BUT
1T is NOT.

Washington arch 6.-Invitations
have been sent to Unitd States Sena-
tors to participate in Dasheen din
ner this week in the Senate Restau-
rant Some Southern Senators at
first thought Dasheen was a new form
of drink.
What the dickens is the Dasheen?"
demanded Senator John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi.
Inquiry at the Department of Agri-
culture revealed that the Dasheen is a
new tuber recently developed by the
Government experts. 1t may be des-
tined to drive the humble but essen
tial potato from the dinner tables of
rich and poor alike, for it is said to be
more mealp than the potato, of better
flavor, and its tops, when properly
cooked, resemble aspasagus tinctured
with an added flavor, as of mushrooms
The Dasheen is expected to prove g
boom to the farmers of the Southern
States especially, where the soil. it il
figured, will yield from 200 to 400 bush
els to the acre.

the preliminary hearing, awaiting the
action of the grand jury which met
yesterday. Adams occupied the jail
or's room. which is called the recep-
ton room, and he and the jailor were
sleeping there. During the night he
complained of having indigestion and
asked for some salt. The jailor gave
him the keys, which unlocked the
doors which led to the kitchen. When
he got to the kitchen he unlocked the
kitchen door, got the salt and then
went back to his room, returning the
keys to the jailor and retiring. Soon
after he began complaining Of pains
in his stomach and got up an went
upstairs to the oilet. AS soon as he
got upstairs he let himself down the
dumb waiter unto the kitchen, and
having left the kitchen door open,
made his escape The sheriff was
notified and tie bloodhounds put on
the trail, but they failed to locate
him.

PLEAD GUILTY TO
GRiliiINlD,lARCfI:AY
BOYS ARE YOUNG THAT JUDGE
JOHNSON sUsPENps SENTENCE
ON GOOD BEHAVIOR.

New Augusta, Miss, March Cir
cult Court closed here Thursday after
noon and Judge Johnson is awaiting
the preparation of the minutes for his
signature.
Seventeen true bills were returned.
There was not felony case tried.
Many misdemeanors were disposed Of
by pleas of guilty as charged"
The most pathetic feature of the
court term was two boys, the older
being not more than fourteen, the
younger not over twelve years old.
The charge against them was grand
larceny. They pleaded guilty. Judge
Johnson had not the heart to send
them to go among veteran criminals
and suspended sentence on their good
behavior.
Blind tiger dealers and pistol toter'
came up with pleas OF guilty, and thu
it was that much minor court business
was dispatched rapidly.
New Augusta seems like banque
hall deserted" when the lawyers, jul
ors, witnesses. and litigants depart 70
/ their homes.
