Everlasting Penance.
Tli<> I’rismi of Ten Thousand is
Hie naiiu1 given by 11 u* wandering
Arabs of (In* districts across dor
ian to the fortress monastery of
Mar Saba, on tin* Dead sea. Not
many years ago there were actual
ly 10.000 monks living in this grim
and mournful retreat, andeven to
day there are more than 1,000 left.
The monastery is one of t lie oldest
in the world, having been founded
some 1,800 years ago by Etitliv
mius and the monks pass their
lives in everlasting penance. No
woman is permitted to come with
in sight of Mar Saba.
Traded Their Votes.
According to a traveling man
whose route lies through the mid
die west. I he trading of their
votes by traveling men was larger
than ever this year. Naturally
many of the men whose business
compels t hem to bo on t be road the
{renter part of the time figure on
being away from home on election
.lay. Many of them, indeed, never
register. It is customary for them
to pair with fellow members of the
fraternity of opposite political
faith, so that neither vote shall be
,ost.—Chicago In ter-Ocean.

I was all run down from nervous
ness and overwork and had to resign
my position and take a rest. I
found that I was not gaining mv
strength and health as fast as 1
could wish, and as your Wine of
(’ardui was recommended as such a
gtxxl medicine for the ills of our
sex, I bought a bottle and began
using it. 1 was satisfied with the
results from the use of the first
bottle, and took t hree more and then
found ! was restored to good health
and strength and able to take up
my work with renewed vigor. 1
consider it a fine tonic and excellent
for wont-out, nervous condition,
and am pleased to endorse it.

GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
TO THE LEGISLATURE
It Was a Lengthly Document, But
Weak in Hany Places.
Few Good Suggestions and Much Hot
Air Contained in Governor's
Inaugural Address.
Governor Jeff Davis' message to
the legislature was one of the most
lengthl.v documents ever inflicted
upon that body. It. tills fourteen
columns set in type two points
smaller than the regular body
type used in The Journal, and is,
therefore, too lengthl.v to repro
duce in full. But we present be
low a brief synopsis of the mes
sage, as published by the Little
Rock Democrat.
Governor Davis began his inaug
ural address with the assertion
that with him the bitter feeling
engendered during the late cam
paign was ended. Later on in the
address he showed unmistakably
that the sentiments he entertained
for certain departments of the
state government was anything
but the most friendly.
The governor congratulated the
state on its unrivaled prosperity.
When he went into office I lie state
owed $04,000, and that amount has
been paid with the exception of
$12,500 outstanding in bonds,
which cannot be located. The
state is therefore practically out
of debt.
Tax valuations have increased
fifty million dollars within four
years.
An appropriation is recommend
ed for u boys' dormitory at the
deaf mute institute.
It is recommended that a home
for incurable insane people be
erected away from Little Koek,
somewhere in the mountains on
the railroad.
An operating room is urged for
the insane asylum.
The governor wants a fund of
£‘2,500 to be placed at the disposal
of himself and the superintendent
of the asylum and to be used in
paying for surgical skill among
the patients at the asylum. It is
not suggested that the assembly
might supply the demand.
The governor recommends a re
form school, urging that only a
small appropriation be used for
that purpose at the beginning. His
arguments in favor <>f such a school
were quite plausible. However,
he wants the governor authorized
to appoint the commissioners to in
augurate the movement.
The anti-trust recommendation
was very strong and pronounced.
He recommends the passage of the
King bill by the assembly.
It is recommended that a law be
enacted permitting the taxation of
the franchises of corporations.
Banks should be assessed at the
actual value of their paidup capi
tal stock.
llio legislature is asked to pass
a bill paying the amounts borrow
ed to run the Deaf Mute Institute
and to cover unpaid salaries to
employes of that institution.
The state is asked to appropri
ate $50 per month to cure of rum
my Southerland, a poor deaf mute
and blind boy whom the governor
discovered in one of his country
trips.
A fellow-servants’ law is strong
ly urged, and the best of reasons
advanced why such a law should
be enacted.
The legislature is urged to pass
a law requiring what is termed
wild cat mutual insurance compan
ies to deposit 50 per cent of their
receipts with the auditor and give
an indemnifying bond of $50,000;
annually.

END OF FIRST WEEK
IN GENERAL ASSEMBLE
Many New Laws Were Proposed.
Put None Enacted.
Ninety-Eight Bills, Independent o:
Joint Resolutions, Introduced
During First Week.
Little Rock, Jan. 14.—At noon
today the House adjourned until
9 o’clock Monday morning' The
Senate was not in session today,
having adjourned Friday evening
until Monday morning.
Twenty-eight hills were intro
duced in the House today, making
a total of sixty-two bills introduc
ed in the House. Thirty-six have
been introduced in the Senate,
making a total of 9S bills introduc
ed in both bodies during the first
week.
i lit1 oenate has passed several
bills, among the number being the
famous King anti-trust bill, which
was passed Friday. No bills
have passed the House, however,
except two or three of a local na
ture.
Among the bills introduced to
day was one HI. B. 4'.b by Hon.
I1. J. lianey, of Independence
county. It provides for the regu
lation of mutual insurance com
panies, and differs from the pres
ent law by requiring that 50 per
cent of all premiums be set aside
to pay losses, and that an indem
nity bond be furnished as a guar
antee. It also provides for an ex
amination of the allairs of each
company by the state auditor ev
ery six months, the company so
examined to pay all expenses of
sueli examination.
It is very probable that the
question of establishing a state re
form school will be referred to a
joint committee, with instructions
to draft a bill covering the matter.
A proposition is also pending for
the appointment of a joint commit
tee to frame a general road im
provement law. As usual, a joint
committee will be appointed to
visit and report upon the I niver
sity of Arkansas.
Of the Hills and joint resolutions
already introduced and awaiting
reference to committees there are
a number bearing on the subject
of dividing the school taxes paid
by whites and negroes. Mr.
Fields of Columbia county has of
fered a joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the constitution
so as to empower tiie legislature
to segregate the taxes paid for
common school purposes.
Thus far no bill for a convention
to frame a new constitution has
been offered, but such a measure
is certain to be presented soon.
Mr. Garrett of Cleveland county
proposes to introduce a bill on that
line.
