A filibuster was Instituted In the sen ste Monday morning to prevent the passage of house bills In that body. Senator Wheatley led the Insurgent movement, and was backed up by sev eral other members. The member fron^ the Thirteenth made an Impassioned ap peal to the senate to stand up and as sert Itself. He said the house was going ahead with Its own affairs and absolutely Ig noring all senate measures. “Evidently they think over there that no worthy legislation can or doesd-e- celre its Initiative In this chamber. When we ask them about it or to pass a bill to give pension? to worthy Con federate soldiers, they say that they haven't time. Yet they cjp have time to waste on a foolish resolution about some member using every word In the language In a speech, except 'ambro sial.' ** Then Senator Wheatley moved to ad* journ, but was voted down. A fllllbus- ler was started on a local house bill, but after considerable confusion the bill was passed. Appropriations Pstsed.

Your committee visited the home on the 7th day of August, 1»06, and found about ninety Inmates present, eight of these being in the hospital. Several soldiers not included In this number were out on leaves of absence. The following officers were reported to us as being In charge: Captain R. L. Barry, euperlntendent; Joseph Whittle, lieutenant: W. B. Clements, clerk; J. M. Mills, first corporal; E. W. Hughes, second corporal; J. F, Brooks, third corporal; William DeJarnett, fourth corporal; John L. Maddox, watchman; Mrs. John. Maddox, matron; Mrs. Belle Reed, stewardess; Mrs. C. E. McDan iel, hospital nurse. 2. There are fifty-three living rooms in the home building, all occupied. These rooms have only the ordinary fireplaces for burning coal for heating purposes. The building is a two-story brick structure with thin walls, with no elevator accommodations, nor any meann of escape from fire from the sec ond story. The hospital for the sick and Invalid soldiers Is kept on the sec ond floor of the building. $. We found the culinary department fairly clean and In good condition. We found the meats and other articles of food /airly well adapted.- 4. The closets and sewers we found In a bad and unwholesome condition —unclean and Insanitary. 6 We found the clothing furnished the’soldiers for this season of the year well adapted to their needs and com fort However, the winter suits shown us for the use were slightly too light for the comfort, especially of the ad vanced age of the most of the Inmates of the home. . Your committee begs to recommend the following Improvements to the board of trustees: 1 That an executive committee be appointed by said board, the majority of whom shall reside as near as practi cable to the home, whose duty general ly shall be to exercise an immediate management and control of toe home sired to change Its route, and the plain tiffs held that abandonment of the line would seriously harm the Interests of parties concerned. It la held by the supreme court: •'Where a railroad company, to which has been given the power to chooae lie particular route between designated termini, pas exercised Its discretion In this regard. Its power of choice la ex hausted, and It cannot subsequently change Its location without express legislative authority.” HOUSE KILLS TIME CHEWING THE RAG Three Senate Bills One House Bill Passed. .and Three senate bills and one house bill were passed by the houee of repre sentatlves at Its Monday morning ses sion. In spite of the accumulation of business and the fact that the eeealon closes Wednesday, the house spent Monday morning In argument over small matters and let the hours slip by without having flnlahed any Important business.

I was still etudylng law, but had come home to epend tho summer vacation with my parents. There was quite a crowd of young people who gathered In the houee every evening, and It was always very late before we parted. One beautiful summer evening, when about a dosen of us wer* sitting to gether, we began to talk of ghost eto- rles, and several of the young men told the things which, they assured us, had happened to themselves. 1 remember that I boasted that I pos sessed an unusual faculty of being able to make the spirits In the other world appear and talk whenever I liked, and I smiled when I saw how the young girl* »hrunk*b*ck from me In terror. .... .. “Nothing i» more I ■e.U, and any one of you can do It.

This change we deem Imperative, because the sick and Invalid inmates kept as they are on the second story would be the helpless victim* of a conflagration in case of fire, as they now have no means of escape from such contingencies. The need of a hospital with modem conveniences we deem very necessary because all of -the old soldier Inmate* will sooner or later, end that will not be many years at best, have to go there Respectfully submitted. WALTER E. BTEED, Chairman Senate Committee. and when you make a sign the spirits appear and tell you whatever you want” . . ,,.. Everybody laughed and said they did not believe It. _ . _ . "But the trouble Is,” I Said, “that you are too cowardly to try the thing yourselves, and yet I dare any one of you to do It." _ Little Ellse, the only daughter of our neighbor, looked at me with her dark e> ”l’ do not believe In your atupld stories," she said, "and Juat because I do not believe In them, I am not afraid to go to that comer of the cem etery all atone at midnight." “Oh. It Is easy enough for any one to say so, but bow will you prove af terward that you have really been there?" asked Henry, another young student. . . "I shall prove It to you,” cried El sie. "I will go there this very night and I evlll take with me a knife, which I will stick Into the grave of the old shoemaker Ertmer, who killed himself last montt. You remember the one whose body was found in the river. His grave is in the most lonesome cor ner of the cemetery, and that's why I'll go there.” I began to get a little uneaay. I had not thought that the Joke should be carried out so far. and I tried In every way to persuade the girl from carylfUC out her Intention »„d was DR. C. D. HURT.

To make sure that nothing should happen to her, we young man decided to follow her at some distance and see what she'did, and about 11:$0 we hid In the bushee outside her parent!' houee, still hoping that she would not come. It was about 12:10 when we saw her elender figure open the door and walk quickly in the direction of the ceme tery. We followed her at some distance, and law how she hesitated a moment at the entrance to the cemetery, and with difficulty opened the heavy gate and slipped Inside. Everything was quite still for a while, and we eat outside became we were afraid ehe would discover ue If we went too cloee or heard us com ing. We waited and waited and thought that now ahe must he back, and then we would carry her In triumph to her house. Suddenly a terrible cry rang out, which made the blood freese In our reins. Then everything was quiet For a few moments w# were too terri fied to move, but then we ran as fast as we could across the cemetery to ward the comer of the suicides. Ellse was lying unconscious across the grave of the shoemaker, and. In her terror she had dug her finger. Into the sqd. We tried to lift her up, but It seem ed ss though Invisible hands held her, and because of the darkness, the moon having passed behind a cloud, we could not make out what It was. At last the moon came out again, and we could see what It was. In her hurry to stick the kntfe which was to ba proof of her courage Into the ground, she had stuck It through the bottom of her skirt, end as she tried to rise, It held her down. The ter ror had caused her to fslnt, and she was still unconscious when we, car rying her In our arms, reached her house. The physician was called, but could not do anything, and a few days later she died. Since then l believe In ghost stories. Hr Private tested Wire.
