TENNESSEE'S STANDING ARMY

Divouacked at Nashville Ready to
March Against Miners.
NASHVILLE, Dec. l7.-Tennessee has
standing army. At present it consists
Of only sixteen men and is sleeping in
nine tents, but it gives promise of grow
Ing. The army is bivouacked on Cap
itol Hill awaiting orders to march on
Briceville. The army arrived here
from Memphis under command of Gen
eral Keller Anderson, acting captain.
It dispersed itself over the city during
the morning, but in the afternoon came
together again at the capitol
The state officials are not very talka-
tive. but it was learned that these six
teen men have been sworn into service
for one year and it is the intention to
swear in altogether $50. 1t is imprac-
ticable to take the regular militia, as
many of them could not leave their bus
mess; SO these men will be employed.
They will be regularly equipped as sol
diers, and fifty men placed at each or
the branch prisons at Coal Creek, Brice-
vile and Oliver Springs. There will be
in addition civil guard of fifty men at
each place. Although every one know
ing the facts declines to talk, it is thought
from these men bsing brought here tnat
it is the intention to return the convicts
to the branch prisons within the next
few days. II is said that the matter
rests entirely with the lessees.
The state board of prison inspectors,
some time ago, passed an order for the
return of the convicts whenever IL
lessees shall have provided safe quar-
tiers and sufficient guard. There wa
some trouble about who was to pay for
the guards, and AS the state will have
militia equal to the number of civil
guards, it is thought that compromise
has been made, and that the state aud
lessees will each pay one-half tie ex
penses. Dr. Morrow, in an interview,
stated that the lessees We're ready, and
had been for q week. They were only
waiting for the return of Superintend-
ent of Prisons Wade, who is in Wash
ington making application for the posi-
tion of reading clerk of the house. Dr..
Morrow said the convicts would proba-
bly, be taken back as soon as Mr.. Wade
returns,

by him for appointment of standing and
select committees.

of Vance (not yet sworn in), the COM

porarily assigned to his colleague (Ran-

So, too, places on the committee that

Topeka. Dec 1S.-The Kansas Alli-

ton, capital stock $l,0O0,00O, with
Frank McGrath as the central figure, Is
the latest Alliance enterprise. The
charter was filed with the secretary OF
state, and business will begin with the
new year. The scheme of cooperation
which is to rid the world of the ruinous
system Of competition will be applied
to the payment of mortgaged indebted
ness. This is the scheme originated by
McGrath when he was president OF the
Alliance. Its object is to negotiate d.
rectly with eastern capitalists for the
necessary amounts for defraying farm
mortgaged indebtedness without the
assistance OF the middlemen. Mr.. Nc
grath wanted the Alliance as state
organization to take hold of his scheme
and stated in an interview that 1t was
high time the Alliance was building up
credit for itself and giving the lie to
the charge that it was an association OF
calamity howlers. P. B. Maxson Of

When husband and wife met for the

no signs that they knew each other.

A Democratic Paper on Austin

Hon. r w. Auitin is il the city.
He is patiently waiting to fill Gen.
Wheeler's shoes in Congress. He
won't admit it, but full well knows
that he has no chance to defeat Gen.

Richard is lar sighted politician.
He is also man of brains and atten
ding resources He sees the growing
desire that is shaping itself into a
determ nation to promote Gen.
Wheeler. He knows that General
Wheeler could have succeeded SEN
ator Pugh in the Senate. He knows
that Gen. Wheeler could be the next
Governor OF Alabama. He is we'll
grounded in the belief so current
here that if Democrat is elected
Presiden General Wheeler will be
Secretary of War under that admin
istration. Any of these chances will
doubly increase the chances Of the
gentleman to 60 to Congress. The
district was made solidly Democratic
by General Wheeler. Not a few
men are Wheeler men who owe no
allegiance to any other Democrat.

THE BELLS RANG OUT
The Death of the New Orleans Voiun
teer Fire Department.

The Death of the New Orleans Voiun-
teer Fire Department.
New ORLEANS, Dec 1S The bells
rang out the death of the New Orleans
volunteer fire department, the oldest In
the country and the last of the great
volunteer system, and New Orleans will
in the future depend on paid system
like other cities. The volunteer depart
ment was sixty-6ve years old, having
been organized in 1926. During this
time, while a purely volunteer system
and independent of the city govern
ment, the association had sole and ex-
elusive charge Of the extinguishment of
all fires. The city contracted with it
to do this for $4,000 annually. The
fremen owned all their fire parapherna-
liza, engines, hose, horses. engine houses,
etc, which have been sold to the city
for the new paid department. 1t had
besides this other valuable property
and closes its official career with several
hundred thousand dollars to its credit.
Although the department will have
nothing more to do with the eXtlngulsh-
meut Of fires. it will keep up its organ
ization as charitable and social body,
and its large resources will be used for
the support Of the widows and orphans
of members and for the payment of in
surances as the latter drop off. The
four branches had thirty-six engines
and some FIVE thousand actual and ex-
empt members. The change from the
volunteer ia the paid fire department
has been recommended for some time by
the fire insurance companies, but was
not popular with the masses.
