TODAY MERITS NATIONS
GREATEST THANKSGIVING
By HENRY CLEWS.

There has been no time SINCE the
United States became a nation when
our people have had such cause for
thanksgiving as they have this year.
Our country is prosperous and
our people happy. The good Lord
has favored US with tremendous
crops, which can be marketed at
good prices. For both our food sup
plies and manufactured goods the
world is our market, and will be.
even If an unexpected peace should
be declared.
While we are feasting and thank
ing on Thursday let us all pray for
the relief of the countless thousands
of innocent women and children In
Europe who are suffering trials I'M
told, through no fault of theirs.

Representatives Goodwin. Of Arkan-

a little heat was shown in the de-

obstruction to the bill.
Representative Humphreys o.

Five In Jackson Petition Admit
tsnce Into Insane Asylum

jackson, Miss, March 1.-The
enforcement Of the law against the
sale Of narcotics made much work to
do for Chancellor Taylor, the dep
uties in the sheriff's office and the
management Of the lunatic asylum.
Five persons all white and three Of
them women were sent to the asy-
lum to-day. They were caught
without a supply Of dope" on
hand, could not get any, and by
noon they simply collapsed.
The five presented themselves at
the sheriff's office and begged to be
sent to the asylum, for treatment.
That they were crazy, was beyond
doubt in the mind Of the chancellor
and he promptly sent them TO the
asylum.

WOMAN OF MYSTERY
PUZZLES POLICE
HsyerS Between Life And Death
In vlcksburg Hospital;
Perhaps Poisoned

Vicksburg, Miss, Mar. 3.-While
physicians at the local hospital are
waging an almost hopeless fight to-
night against death. the authorities
Of the cities are combing their res
pective communities in an effort 10
establish the identity Of a young
woman taken from the Washington
Hotel this morning in dying con-
dtion. That the young woman is
suffering from the effects Of poison
is bsleved by the hospital authori-
ties but how and by whom it was
administered is a mystery.
The young woman, who is very
attractive, came to Vieksburg last
night and registered under the name
Of Mrs. A. A. Thompson, Of Hat.
tiesburg. Shortly after retiring she
requested glass Of water brought
to her room and according to the
bell boy who answered her call she
said she did not know or care
whether she should arise from the
bed" To the boy she explained
she wanted the water to take some
medicine.
After the boy left the room the
attention Of the hotel employees was
attracted to the room by the sound
Of screams. Mr.. r. N. Fanar. pro-
prietor, was summoned and when
he gained entrance he found the
woman unconscious. A physician
was summoned and later she was
removed to the hospital. She has
fingered in an unconscious state
since.
Here nothing seems to be known
of Mrs. Thompson. At Hattiesbura
the authorities state tire name is
familiar one but a Mrs. A. A
Thompson is not known. Somi
time ago a Mrs. A. Thompson am
her three daughters resided in tn
latter city but have long since re
moved to another part Of the state
In HattieSburg some doubt exists a
to the identity of the woman.
The woman left no baggage Q
other personal property at the ViCks
burg hotel which might aid j
, establishing her identity.

Krsss On Last Night OF
Session
SOUTHERN STATES
ARE TO BENEFIT

Washington. March 5.-Bypsss-
ting the Omnibus claims bills to-
sight tho Senate practically assured
the payment Of 81 l,l40,426 in war
claims. Louisiana claimants will
receive s29i 1913. Mississippisns
will get s11s,So7. Other states will
be paid as follows Tennessee
S42s, $40; Virginia s254,i1o; and
Arkansas s7o.2oS.
Southern senators stood together
in support Of the measure and they
were able TO put it through without
serious opposition.
An arrangement has been per-
fected insuring the agreement Of
the House in the conference report
which makes the final passage Of
the bill practically certain.
A sensational feature OF the pass
age Of the claims bill through tht
senate was the adding Of a provision
forbidding the collection Of mor'
than twenty per cert Of the total By
the attorney. A fine Of 81 900 ant
Imprisonment is tile penalty 70
violating this provision. Most at
torneys are understood to have mad
contracts on basis Of fifty pc
cent.
Senator Rsnsdel succeeded in ad
ding SIT 900 to the bill covering tn
White claim. The item had bee
approved by the House but ha
been stricken out by the Senate.
The Senate tonight agreed
allow il to be reinstated. The claif
covers a steamboat and cargo.
