Only One Short Month to the
Next Inauguration.
Souvenirs OF the Occasion This Year,
Menu at the Ball supper-The Parade
The Cabinet.
From Our Corrn.nondent.

Only one short month to the Inaugural
ton Of William Mckinley, which is
equivalent to saying that Washington
Is all agog over the coming Of that event
and making its subsequent arrange
ments therefor The one thing which,
next to the Inauguration exercises them
selves, always is the topic and
theme for discussion even months after
1t is over, is the inaugural bali which
occurs on the eveningof the Inauguration.
For months and even years the inaugural
ball Is fruitful subject for comment,
occasioned no doubt by the magnitude
Of the browning feature of the ceremony
gone through with when new president
assumes the duties of his Office.

The design for the reviewing stand
provides for stand of considerable ar
chitectural beauty, and architectural
lines rather than the decorators art
will be its predominant characteristic.
The stand will be painted pure white,
and on this background will be placed
the only decorations, consisting of
American flags and red, white and blue
bunting. Owing to the dignity of the
arch under which the president will
stand, it is believed that the structure
Will harmonize with the neghboring
buildings, the White House and treas
ury department. The seating capacity
will be 1000. one point of excellence in
the plan comes from the fact that it
matters not how hard it may rain or
storm, the reviewing stand will present
about the same appearance as it would
in clear weather There is little or moth
ing about it to become bedraggled or to
lose color. The roof will be so con-
structed as to avoid entirely the use OF
ali obstructiEg posts. Altogether, it is
the opinion of those who have examined
the design for the stand that. in its con-
struction a standard will be established
for temporary structures along Penn
syVania avenue that will have to be
lived up to in the future, and will pre-
vent, for all time, the building of large
dry goods boxes, which, covered with
flags and cheap bunting, have hitherto
been called reviewing stands.

Grand Marshal Horace Porter Of the
committee have about completed ar
rangements by which the great parade
on the day Of the Mckinley Inauguration
Will contain an unusual feature. This
VIII be the presence in line of about 15C
Indians, from the several tribes, in their
own distinctive dress, with all the paint
and savage ornaments which they are
wont to wear on extraordinary occa.
sions.
This proposition was first advanced by
the civic committee and, receiving the
approval of the grand marshal and the
executive committee, steps We're at once
taken to get the necessary number OF
red men from as many different tribes as
possible This feature of the parade, II
the matter is finally consummated, will,
no doubt, prove to be one of the most
interesting as well as most picturesque
parts of the grand pageant.
If the ideas of the committee are fully
carried out, this part Of the parade will
also be instructive as efforts are now
being made to secure the presence in the
line of the students Of the Carlisle In
dian school, to march with the abb
orignes from the west. With these
young men now being advanced toward
the highest civilization and education.
and the Indians right from their reserva-
TONS the comparison will undoubtedly
prove one of the most remarkable of the
many interesting displays arranged for
the parade.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.

Clarence Stockslager, who works
for and lives with farmer named
Ellis, near Messer, was accidentally
shot with a shotgun in his own
hands late Monday evening, says
the Gaiena Times.
Stockslager was out hunting at
the time of the accident and was
alone. He was in the act of creep
ing up on covey of quails when in
some manner his shotgun was dis.
charged, the contents entering the
right thigh, completely shattering
the femur bone. II 10 said the in,
jured young man lay in the field
for an hour or more before help
came. DIR. Allen was called about
o'clock Monday evening and soon
saw that amputation was neces'
sary. Therefore, the next morning
DR.. Allen, DR.. Evans and DIR. w. S
Jones of Baxter, went out to the
Ellis home and performed the oper'
alton of taking off the limb close
up to the body. II is feared tina,
Stockslager may not survive.
Later news is to the effect that
young Stockslager died Wednesday
afternoon. He was son of Hon
+. A. Stockslager, formerly of this
county, but now living at Eureka
Springs, Ark.

THE BALANCE RETURN.

Iemstreet, Arthur Carney, Kelly
Carmichael and John Leach, COM
posing the balance of the crowd
which left here Nov. 3 for a hunt on
Spavinaw, returned home Wednes-
day evening. In view of the fact
that they killed no big game and
have been living on short rations

have prescribed oat meal, rice, soup,
angel food, and other light food un-
Ill their stomachs become accus-

THAT JAIL PROPOSITION.

Because the NEWS suggests that
Columbus can't have new Jail un-
less a bridge is built over Shoal
creek at Lowell, the Columbus Cour-
Ter accuses us of "dog In the man.
ger" tactics. Well, let Il 60 at that.
the righteous are always persecut-
ed. But let us see II we are not
justified in our course in opposing
the Jail proposition until the bridge
question 10 settled. First, a bridge
10 needed where we suggest. The
Courier says Shoal creek at Lowell
is fordable the year round. The
Courier man is one of the most ig-
norant of human beings, or he is a
wiiful prevaricator. Shoal creek at
Lowell is not fordable except in an
extremely dry spell of weather. In
fact when Shoal creek rises 1S
inches above normal 1t is past ford
ing, aud an 18.inch rise in Spring
river makes fording Shoal creek at
Lowell very dangerous.
Again; in Decem ber, 1895. the ap-
proaches to the Spring river bridge
at Baxter were washed out by high
water. F. A. Jackson, one of the
county commissioners, came down
to see the wreck. He was accompa-
MED by Andrew Shearer, who used
to be quite rag on the political
clothes line. aud who was then a
county commissioner. These two
gentlemen inspected the bridge
and promised to have iron ap.
proaches put in in place of the
wooden ones which washed out.
Did they do IL? No! Instead, they
had wooden ones put in and an
other big rise in Spring river will
probably wash them out again.
We still believe there are enough
votes in the south part of the coun-
ty to defeat the Jail proposition
unless it carries bridge improve
nents with 1t.
And we may be able to dig up an
other grievance.
