Jumped on the Pilot Of n Moving En-
CINE and Rode Twenty Miles.
From the st. Louis Globe democrat.
In order to get away from home, Grace
Wilson and Jessie Belts. two seventeen
year-old Nebraska City girls, sprang upon
the pilot of the engine pulling the Nebras-
ka limited express the other day and rode
gayly into Omaha. The quick work was
necessary to avoid their parents. and the
passengers were treated to the spectacle
of the young girls making the daring leap
as the wheels of the locomotive began to
revolve. The train soon gained a high rate
of speed, and with their teeth set and long
hair flying in the air the girls chung 10 the
stanchions of the pilot. The engineer was
not aware of the girls perilous position
until they made the next stop twenty miles
north. Then they were put in one of the
passenger coaches and taken to Omaha.
They were not disturbed over their exciting
ride, but rather appeared to enjoy the ex-
traordinary adventure. They are now be-
ing detained at the police station until rel
atives can be communicated with.
The two girls set out upon the adven-
furious trip with determination. They left
taking as their Sole baggage q pair Of curl
ing irons. They hid until the Missouri Pa
cif1c express pulled out, then, that the
trainmen might not see them, they sprang
upon the pilot of the engine Upon their
arrival at Omaha the girls hired a room at
hotel. But q few hours elapsed before
the police were notified OF the runaway
and the girls were located and taken to the
police station.

EStnblished Musket Cap Factory
Every musket cap used in the first battle
of Bull Run was placed in the hands of
the confederate soldiers through the energy
OF Gov. Harris. 1t came about in this way:
On making inquiry he was surprised to
find that there was not a musket cap in
all the state of Tennessee. Immediately he
te!egraphed to the war Office at Richmond
to know if a supply of musket caps could
be had for Ills troops. The answer came
that they could not; the war office was not
prepared to supply any troops with musket
caps. Application was then made to one
governor after another in the south, until
the entire field was ransacked for musket
caps. but none could be found. There was
nothing to 40 but to establish a cap fac
tory, and this Gov. Harris did. With some
difficulty he found artisans capable of I'M
dertaking the work. and factory was
equipped and the work of turning out mus
ket caps begun. AS fast as possible the
facilities of the factory were increased;
night and day shifts were used so that the
work went on without cessation. 1t was
the only cap factory at the time in the
whole confederacy, and from this factory,
located in Nashville, Tenn, the army of
northern Virginia was supplied with all
the musket caps used in the first battle Of
Bull Run.

THE MAY FESTIVAL.
tant Meeting Called for Today
at Elks' Hall.

The following open letter from the May
Festival committee is self-explaining:
Birmingham, Jan. 26, 1897.
We beg to remind you of the great
movement now being inaugurated by the
music-loving citizens of Birmingham and
vicinity to give series of musical enter
tainments in the new Auditorium of this
city during the early part of next May,
said series of entertainments to be known
as the Birmingham May Festival
The undersigned have been charged
with the duty of bringing this matter to
the notice of all who are likely to be IN
terested in the undertaking. So far the
movement is meeting with most flat
tering success.
1t is the desire of all who have thus
far enlisted that the series of entertain
ments be given under the auspices of no
school or society, but under the united
auspices of all music schools, clubs, or
CARNATIONS, orchestras, choirs and inter-
ested individuals, all having equal rights
and equal honors.
Please let us earnestly ask that you will
at once personally interest yourself in
this effort, and that you will lend the
valuable aid of your presence and coun-
sci at the next meeting, which will be on
Thursday the 18th instant, in Elks hall,
over the First National bank northeast
corner of Twentieth street and First
avenue Very respectfully.
