in the armory of the Jefferson Volun-
teers. Among those present were Col.
Louis ". Clark, Maj. e. L. Higdon, Cap
tain Morris, staff surgeon; Capt. e. A..
deFupfak, Captain Ledbetter of the Bir-
mingham Rifles, Capt. T. l.. Demere,
Capt John Warren of the Jefferson Vol
unteers, Capt j. M. Collins of the Wood
lawn Light Infantry and others.
An interesting paper on the subsst-
ence department was read by Capt. f. L.

his important duties an especial study.
Capt E. A. deFuniak read extracts
from Murat Halsteads writings on the
Cuban campaign.
A letter was read from Col. Henry Eos
ter and Captain Brandon inviting the
regimentaI encampment to be held at
Tuscaloosa Montgomery also has put
in an application for the eDcampment
The. place for the encampment will be
selected next week, and in this connec-
ton the Commercial club has appointed
q committee consisting of Messrs. Rufus
N. Rhodes, f. Y. Anderson, Oliver Chal-
ifoux, M. v. Joseph and B. Steiner to
secure subscriptions with the view Of
bringing the encampment to Birming-
ham. Unless the citizens respond to the
call of the committee by raising an
amount sufficient to defray the necessary
expenses not covered by the state appro-
priation 1t is likely that Colonel Clark

either in Tuscaloosa or Montgomery.
The officers present, after considerable
discussion pertaining to the good of the
regiment. RECALLED themselves with sub
stantial lunch and cheerful bowl.

with a good sheath makes good and

sheath indicates weakness. The hind
legs are then once more examined to see
that they are sound before the horse is
put upon the scales and his supposed
weight confirmed. A saddle is then put
upon the horse and he is taken outside.

Horses for the Army.

Only thirteen out of $50 horses shown
at Pendleton were accepted for army use
by the inspector, Mr.. Frazier. The rigid
examination which disqualified over 90
per cent of the entire number is well
shown by the Pendleton Tribune, which
tells what the horses had to undergo be-
fore being selected for the comfortabl
stables of army life, with men for SER
wants as well as masters:
The horses were first brought before
the eagle-eyed inspectors on the stable
floor. They there took quick general
look at the animal, and often, in this
first cursory glance, some flaw was de-
tected which disqualified the horse
Should his symmetry and individuality
fill the requirements he was then exam
ined as to size, height, weight and color.
Should the horse pass muster in these
particulars, search is made for bone or
blood spavins, big curbs or ringbones,
and if any are found he is thrown out
If found free of these defects, and has a
good small head with perfect eyes, nice
neck, good shoulder, good straight legs,

Finest of the Season.

The opinion OF several who have at
tended the band concerts regularly is
that the one yesterday was the finest of
all. Every number was very pretty.
ga Night in Berlin" was very pretty
combination of German airs interlarded
lamong less familiar but more classic
music. The cornet duet was charming,
land the cornet solo was also pretty.
The descriptive piece received the first
encore of the season, and though some
what surprised, the band responded.
Pheasant features of the piece are the
singing of birds and the mill slowing
down. The concerts are made more
pleasant by the free distribution of pro-
grams, which enable one to have better
understanding of the music. The band
deserve much credit for submitting to
the heat and discomfort of these hot
days to cater to the pleasure of others
by playing to them. The audience,
however, is always appreciative and
honor the band with generally close at
tention. Next Sunday the concert will
begin later owing to the heat of the
afternoon.

Hill read an interesting paper on the
subject, the principal points of which
were: The training gives confidence.
The country teacher needs broad cul-

work, to interest his pupils, and the
primary teacher needs high school work
to train her in accuracy, to give her a
high ideal and win the respect of the

MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE
verdict of the Jury Against Matt
Crump.

Boise, May 29--Guilty of murder in the
second degree was the verdict returned
today at Weiser against Matt Crump.
who has been on trial for killing Thomas
Roman at the latter's home at Loves
Boise in May, 1895 This was the second
trial OF the case, the first jury having
disagreed. The case has been sensation
al. Roman was prosperous rancher.
Crump had been his hired man. The
victim was called out of his house the
night of the murder and was found in
the morning lying near the corral with
ms head crushed. Crump was in Cald-
wei That evening and appeared at neigh
bors at midnight and stayed all night
MRS. Roman explained that the noise in
the corral was as fierce as though horses
We're breaking through and had called
her husband out She went 20 sleep and
ala not miss him until morning There
was a strong impression that she knew
something about the murder. Finally
Crump was arrested and made a state
ment to the effect that he had seen her
XIII Roman. She was arrested, but was
discharged.
The feature of the trial has been the
tact that her attorney has sat through
the proceedings apparently to protect her
interests. Nothing was brought out in
tended to implicate her.
