The first of the ladies lecture course

Nov. 23, when Robert Nourse will
given on the stage they were very
noted characters, ilIustrious because
of the very things which should have

mankind is full of such characters
and we presume that Mr.. Nourse will
notsdeem the disreputable acts of one

The trotting matinee at the track
last Saturday while it did not result
in a race brought out the best public
performance ever made by two
year-old in Fillmore county. Shiloh B.

were II: NJ. Conkey, Floyd DeHaven.
and r. Wick. The time of the last
heat varied three quarters of second
and the slowest time, taken by H. NJ.
Conkey, is given above. 1t is not the
intention to give Shiloh B., a techni-
cal record this fall though he. will
meet all owners in matinee perform
nnces Saturday afternoons as long as
the weather remains good.-Preston

1t is not strange that many of the
voters should be puzzled about mark.
ing their ballots when such errors
should be made in the count of those
correctly marked. as was done by the
election board in Paris. 1t is reported
that some thirty republicans marked
the circle of the republican ballot
and the squares in front of the names
OF Lowry and Campbell, and that
some ten democrats marked the circle
at the head OF the democratic ticket
and then marked the squares in front
of the names of Sisco and Mcpherson.
The election board rejected these
votes by refusing to count them. The
ballots thus marked were strictly in
compliance with the law. Those
marked in the circle should have been
counted entirely for all the candi-
dates on that ballot, except where n
candidate on an opposing ballot was
indicated as the choice of a voter by
an X in the square preceding his
name the ballot should have been
counted for the candidate thus indi-
Gated.

Not for ten years has there been
such demand for cattle as prevails

year there were fully %, 900 head

Council Proceedings.

At the special session of the city coun- cil last night Chairman Tatum of the special committee to whom was referred the matter of fixing the salaries of the various city officers submitted the com mittee's report. The only material changes are in the salaries of the mayor, which is increased from $500 to 5000, and the inspector of plumbing ffom slooO to S12OO per annum; The salary of the city physician was left at $500, but as his duties have been increased it is probable that his salary will also be raised to $500 at the next meeting of the council.
 It is strikingly noticeable that the trolley cars here run much faster than in other cities, and the fear of being run over at street crossings and around Court Square keeps both visitors. and residents nervous and shaky; besides it is not at all necessary that the cars run at so great rate of speed, as more cars could be put on by the company. Mir Clapp last night offered resolution raising committee to investigate the schedules of trolley cars and see if a more moderate rate of speed could be agreed upon; also as to providing fen ders and other modern Improvements for the safety of the public. Last night President Joseph announced as follows the various standing committees.

Doron, and was running at the rate of ten miles an hour, when the bolts hold ing the motors suspended beneath the car gave way. The motors dropped to the ground and the car stopped with tremendous jerk, throwing Mrs. Robert Jones partially out of the car window, brulsing and cutting her face considera- bly,. Mrs. R. S. Davis was also slightly bruised by being thrown against the side of the car. Motorman Doron was thrown over the dashboard on to the iron rails. and besides being badly cut and bruised about the face and hands it is thought that he has sustained serious in
 ternal injuries. He was carried to his home, on the corner of Jefferson avenue and Bainhridge street. in an unconscious condition, and it is impossible to learn the full extent of his injuries. It seems that it was one of those unavoidable ac- cdents for which no one was to blame, The accident, though, may have ten dency to influence the electric car com pany to adopt a slower schedule.

DBBs ON THE DECISION.
Ho Says It Is Virtually an Order for Non
 Resistance. 4


 Terre Haute, Ind, May 2S.-President Debs of the American Railway union, speaking last night of the decision of the United States supreme court inc con- tempt cases, stated that from a synop- sis of the decision which he had seen he had concluded that the court did not pass upon the merits of the case itself. If circuit judge is enabled to prose cute. try and pass sentence in cases of this kind, it constitutes every fed era1 judge a czar, with unlim- ited power to inflict punishment on citizen, without regard to trial by jury, which is vouchsafed by the constitution. He thought the decision virtually an order for non-resistance on the part of employees.
 Debs will leave for Chicago today and report to the United States marshal. If given time he will go to St. Paul and at tempt to settle the Great Northern la- Dor trouble before going to Woodstock to serve the balance of his sentence

MontgomerY. May

montgomery, May zo. A Mobile paper prints this morning a half-column story to the effect that the governor will call the Alabama state troops into brigade encampment at Bir- mingham instead of at Mobile as here tofore supposed. There is absolutely no foundation for the rumor, and it is a well substantiated fact that Mobile will be the place of encampment, and June 17th the time, though no order to that effect has yet been issued. It is also very probable that a brigadier-general will be appointed before the encampment comes off. Ex-Governor Jones positive ly says that he will not accept the ap> pointment, but Governor Oates has in mind several other gentlemen, either of whom if appointed, would make an ex- cellent brigadier, having all the expe- rience and qualifications necessary for the post.
 The adjutant-general received the fol- lowing letter today. which is self-explan atory:
 To the Adjutant-General, Montgomery Ala.-
 Dear Sir: The citizens of Mobile will offer a silver prize cup for the best drilled company of infantry in the state troops, competitions to take place during inc brigade encampment here.
 I respectfully request that you send me the name and place of residence of every captain in the state service. that they may be duly notified of the above fact.
