Biz Celebrations BY Representatives
Men NJ Nashville ExpOsitiQn.
Nashville, Tenn, Oct. IL. Illinois and
Chicago day was elebrate ted in a very:
appropriate and successful manner at
the Tennessee centennial exposition
Saturday. The various delegations
from Chicago arrived here at 1890
o'clock in the morning, and were met
at the Union stat ton by q reception,
committee Of representative citizens Of
Nashville. s. s.! d,
At 1:30so'cl lock. the visitors proceeded
TO the exposition grounds to attend the
exercises held there.
The attendance at the exposition was
very large and most gratifying to the
exposition management and the lille
nois people. The day was bright and
the grounds never looked more attrac-
tive. The exercises which were held on
the terrace of the splendid Illinois build
ing began with music, and Alexander
H. Revell, of Chicago, made the opening
remarks. An address Of welcome on
delivered by Gov. Robert L.. Taylor.
Hon. Lyman J. Gage, secretary of the
treasury, was the next speaker. Hon.
Carter II. Harrison, mayor Of Chicago,
responded in behalf of that city, and
Maj. John w. Thomas and Hon. Tuily
Brown welcomed the visitors on behalf
of the exposition. The response on be-
half Of the Illinois state commission
was made by Judge Richard $. Tut
hill, and Hon. H. N. Higinbotham, presi-
dent Of theworld's fair, also responded.
Theclosiagspeech was by United States
Senator William E. Mason, who spoke
on behalf of illinois. After the close
Of. theS exercises the various buildings
were visited. The Illinois and Chicago
commissioners and their guests were
given luncheon at the West Side Park
club in the afternoon.
An unpleasant episode during the
exercises was the greeting of the name
of Gov. Tanner, of Illinois, with Kisses.
The demonstration was doubtless due
to the refusal of the governor to attend
with his staff. on the plea that there
was danger from yellow fever.

A SOLDIER TORTURED.
Display of Oniciaf Brutality at Fort
Sheridan.


Sheridan.
Chicago, Oct. 11.-Mutiny in whis-
pered words is rife among the enlisted
men at Fort Sheridan over the terrible
punishment meted out 20 private Sat
urday morning. Before many OF the
men, Charles Hammond was dragged
by rope:tied to his feet from the guard
house to headquarters, 500 yards away.
He had refused to obey the order Of
Capt. Leonard A. Lowering, the officer of
the day, to get up and walk to the sum-
mary court, where he was to be tried for
refusing to work as prisoner. This
punishment is said to have never been
inflicted before in the army.
The soldiers saw Hammond dragged,
bruised and bleeding, along the road.
Many of them declare they saw Capt.
Lowering thrust his sword at the pros
trate prisoner. Some declare they are
ready to take oath that the captain
kicked the defenseless private on the
head The matter has been referred to
Col. Hall, commandant of the fort, by
Capt. Lowering, but it is doubtful
whether he will make an investigation.
The man was brought forcibly to The
summary court on the colonel's orders.
Col. Hall says the whole case was that
of mutinous soldier, and that if such
were allowed to dictate as. toEhow and
when they should obey orders, there
would be no army.
Col. Hall says Capt. Lowering will not
be arrested by any order of his. "A
higher authority may be asked to hear
the case, as the relatives of Hammond
fare determined to learn if the officer of
the day was justified in ordering the
Soldier to be dragged by the;feet. 1t is
believed this is the first instance in
many years that disobedient soldier
has been so brutally treated. Though
Col. Hall does not intend to put Capt.
Lowering under arrest, Gen. Brooke, as
commander of the department of Mis-
souri,, expects to have the entire mat
ter brought before him for review and
judgment. The order for the arrest
and: court-martial of Lowering may then
follow.

In case the bicycle becomes prominent
in war, all the forces will want to invest
in more tac-tix. 1t is said that Ger
many is training bloodhounds to bring
down the French bicycle troops in time
of war;" Half the money spent in six
ounce tacks would do it better. A ten
inch gun loaded with tacks pointed
along any highway where such troop
might come would cause loud talk.

In Coburg, Canada, 7o-year-old man
kissed his niece against her will. The
Indignant woman at once commenced
suit for $4,000 damages and at the trial
she was awarded 20 cents. 1t is prob
able that Canadian courts would ordi-
aarily estimate the value of kiss at a
much higher rate than a couple Of
dimes, and that a large reduction was
made in this case on account of the near
relationship of the parties. If the lady
had been kissed by her father it is like
~ that she would not have recovered
more than a nickel.
