Shot at the Tram,

Friday night as the Iron Noun
tain passenger train was pulling
out OF Homau, near this city, for
this place, some one fired a pistol
or winchester at the moving train,
which was a vestibuled one, and the
ball broke the glass in the doors
between the coaches and came near
hitting the coIored porter, The
train did not stop to investigate,
but we suppose they will have one
Of their special detectives down at
that station to try to leret out who
fred the shot. We certainly hope
the man or boy who Is guilty Of this
reckless shooting, whether lnten.
tIonal or otherwise, may be caught
and made an example Of

THE BRIDGE COMPLETED.
The Joint Committee From Texarkana
and Douglasville Met at Sui
phur and Received the
Bridge.

Friday the committee, consisting
of D. M. Tilson and j. M, Beneheld
went down to Corley and from there
took private conveyance to the
point on Sulphur river selected to
be spanned by a bridge across the
stream, by interested parties from
this city and Cass county
When Messrs Tilson and Benefited
arrived at the place designated,
they found a good gathering of
people from the surrounding coun-
try gathered on the bridge, and
also a good lunch spread for dinner
After eating, an inspection was
made OF the structure and all pro-
nounced it a good, strong substan"
tial bridge, and coming fully up to
specifications,
1t was resolved by those present
that the slough this side OF the
bridge should be brldged, and bids
were invited on this piece of work,
the same to be completed by No
vember lst This will require a
flooring Of from one to two hundred
feet long,
The contractor had put twenty
additional feet to the bridge on
Sulphur and the committee allow
ed him 1926 per foot Tor this extra
work.
Mr., TiIson said the only danger
that threatened the bridge was
driftwood in high water and that a
well known trapper and fisherman,
who was present, said II the people
would build him a small house to
live In on the banks near the bridge
he would watch 1t aud keep the
drftwood from lodging against the
pllng, The committee gave him a
favorable reply
Now that the bridge Is done, the
people over in that part Of Cass
county promises to come here with
their country produce, and put the
same on the market here,
The committee was out yester-
day collecting the money subscribed
to pay The part promised by Tex
arkana.

GOSSIP OF THE STAGE.

Again has Mary Anderson been APP
preached by managers who want her to
appear on the stage in a singing part
at 1000 a week, but she has refused
definitely.
Adele Richie is having rather an I'M
pleasant time in London, where she
cannot find suitable engagement ow-
ing to her being one of the cast in the
Inflated production of 1.-THE Wizard of
the Nile"
Janauschek has permanently retired
from the stage and not even 1.-THE Great
Diamond Robbery" in which she ap-
peared in Chicago year or so ago will
tempt her from her seclusion.
Julia Marlowe is considering an APP
pearance as Nero in a new play based
upon the early days of the emperor.
Charles b. Dillingham;, Miss Marlowe's
new manager, brought the play from
Europe, and Sarah Bernhardt is said
to hold it's French rights.
Eleanore Duse has been engaged to
play at the Neuses theater, Berlin,

sheis to appear-namely, that of Antig-
one in Sophocles' tragedy Of the same

BICYCLING ADVICE.

Fancy riding in public places is at all
times bad form, whether on a country
road or in city park.
When riding in the city use the han
dlebars. They are designed for that
purpose, and may save doctors bill
or lawyers fee.
1t is the fashion nowadays to have
monogram engraved on your wheel. 1t
is Inexpensive, decorative, and useful
means of Identification.
Castor gloves, with fur wrists and
wool lining, are most useful for winter
riding. Leggings Of castor are also
worn in frosty weather.
Don't ring your bell too often, there
is already noise enough in the city;
don't fail to ring it when necessary. as
there are funerals enough everywhere.
Slim girls, whose lack of ayoirdupois
will permit it, are discarding corsets
from their wheeling wardrobe, saying
that they ride better, feel better and
look better without them.
Dismounting from wheel is not one
of those things that "were well done
quickly" Dismount slowly, even where
danger threatens; otherwise. the
chances are you viii jump from the
frying-pan into the fire.

telegraph, the telephone, the phono-
graph, the typesetting machines and all
other inventions of the past generation
have facilitated education. The ambi-
tious young man of to-day can secure
an education at the age of 81 which
would have been difficult for Webster,
Calhoun or Lincoln to have secured ten
years later in life. Therefore the young
men of to-day can rush into the home
stretch of the race of life before they
are suspected of having attained in
tellectual requirements of an extraor-
binary nature.
These young men of to-day, in like
manner, when natures brush tinges
their hair with white, may wonder how
it happens that young men are chasing
them over the home plate; because the
inventions of the next generation will
work similar revolutions and give the
young men yet unborn opportunities
more extraordinary than the preco-
cious boys of this age have enjoyed.

CHARACTER IN THE WALK.

Quick steps denote agitation; slow
steps, either long or short, suggest a
gentle or contemplative turn of mind
Turned-in toes generally character
ize the absent-minded and q stoop the
studious and deeply reflective, whose
thoughts are anywhere rather than
with themselves.
Obstinacy is indicated by the slow,
heavy and fiat-footed style of walking,
while miserliness may be suspected
from short, nervous and anxious foot
steps.
A gay and volatile person trips
lightly and easily, in sympathy with his
or her nature. Character is shown by
all sorts of oddities in gait, but for
grace and elegance no civilians walk
win bear comparison with that of the
man who has received military train
ing.

The OHIO SENATORSHIP.
The Contest Begins In Real Earnest
Hanna Organizing His Forces.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 24.-The mar
shaling of forces in the Ohio senatorial
contest has begun. Charles Kurtz, in
Columbus, has dropped all pretense of
not seeking to defeat Senator Hanna,
and has for some time been organizing
his forces. Yesterday there were many
important conferences in Mr.. Hanna's
office among his lieutenants from
different parts of the state.
Among those who visited the
senator were Judge Nash, chair
man, of the republican executive
committee of Ohio; Harry Daugherty,
chairman of the state central com nit
tee; John r. Malloy, clerk of the
house of representatives and a candi-
date for reelection; Col. Alexander
Cain, clerk of the state senate and a
candidate for reelection, and Presi-
dent ID. d. Woodmanz and Secretary
A. b. Case Of the Ohio League of Re-
publican clubs. Although none of
these gentlemen would reveal what
transpired at the conference, the gen
eral import Of the meetings is easily
inferred.

member of the house, being only 30
years of age. He has been for some
years past an active campaigner for the
democrats in his state, and they last
year gave him the nomination to con-
gress. He represented North Carolina
at Washington on Independence day,
and his speech made on that occasion
was one that electrified his audience,
and Mr.. Sibley said of him that he was
the coming orator" His father rep
resented North Carolina in congress,
and he himself stands an excellent
chance to be some years a member
from that state. He has attractive man
ners, is modest, but impresses people
at once with being a man of ability and
courage. He is attentive to his duties
and has useful and brilliant career
before him.
The youngest man in the Illinois del
egation is Thomas NJ. Jett, OF Hills
boro, who is only "a. His tall figure,
coal-black hair and strong, smooth
shaver face give him distinct individ-
uality. Mr.. Jett is prominently a self
made man. Until 20 years ago he
worked on farm, attending school in
the winter, and finally saved up enough
money to attend the Indiana normal
school for two years. After this he
taught school, studying law when his
days duties were over, and was admit
ted to practice in 1877. Two years later
he was elected states attorney, and be-
fore his eight years of service in that

LOVE AND SYMPATHY.
The Only Feeling Entertained by
Salvation Army People
FOR COMMANDER DARLINGTON BOOTR
And His Stricken Wife of the Volunteers
Messages of Sympathy and AS
surances of Prayers from
Over the Seas.

NEW YORK. Dec. 24.-Regarding the
statement that Mrs. Booths illness
was in any way due to mental iron.
bles produced by the separation from
the Salvation army, Commander Booth
preferred not to speak, but referred
the matter to Secretary Hallimand, OF
the volunteers, who said:
From the commander to the young
est men Der of the Volunteers, we all
believe that Mrs. Booths illness is due
to a great extent TO the cruel treat
ment she has received at the hands of
various persons since the separation
from the Salvation army.
Commander Booth Tucker Of the Sal
walton army has issued the following
statement in reference to the attitude
of the Salvation army regarding Mrs.
Booths illness:
while realizing that this is not the
moment to enter into any argument,
controversy or defense. yet, in case our
position should be misunderstood, and
in view of the statements made by the
press, / am constrained on behalf OF
our people all over the world
to say that there is but one
feeling in our hearts regarding
the illness of Mrs. Booth and the con.
sequent sorrow and anxiety through
which Commander Darlington Booth Is
passing. That feeling is love which
would find expression in unceasing
prayer.
Consul Mrs. Booth-Tucker has been
in constant communication both with
the hospital and with Commander Bal
lington Booth, expressing her sym
pathy and proffering any assistance
within her power, while Gen. Booth
has cabled from London the assurances
of his prayers"
