Gen era1 Bates stated that no movement Of troops from this place would be made until after every preparation has been completed at the new camp sites. He predicts that this may require some time yet and It is likely therefore that more than one more pay day will be held here before Camp Po- land is forsaken.
 Colonel Kuert, commanding the division in the absence of General Mckee received a query from the war department asking whether 1,50O camp stools should be shipped here or to points selected for the new camps, He replied directing that they come to this camp and they are expected this, week. sta. ,e ss A.

COL. E. L. HIGDON
 OF FIRST ALABAMA
Is a Candidate for Sheriff of
 Jefferson in 1900.
A MOST INTERESTING RACE
Numerous Other Candidates Are An nounced, Among Them Being Maj. T. O. Smith, Wyndham Mason, An
 drew Burgin and G. L. Young.

Colonel E. l.. Higdon, who only a few ago who was mustered out of the service as the colonel of the First Alabama volun- teers, Is the latest candidate for sheriff of Jefferson county.
 Colonel Higdon does not enter the race without very strong backing behind him. In the first place, there are 700 soldiers in the regiment living in Jefferson county, whom Colonel Higdon's friends say are for him enthusiastically, and that these men have numerous relatives and friends whom they will force, if necessary, to support the officer who treated them so wellswhile they were in the service.
 Then again. his friends say that there are numerous businiess interests in the city ,swlao ire .bsh.md Colonel Higdon, and which will sAppofts. him against any candidate. This is especially true of the Morris ave nue merchants.
 Colonel Higdon has never entered actively into politics, but he has made a splendid record as a business man, a. citi- 7 zen and soldier and on this, his friends say he bases his claim for public office.
 The race for sheriff, which together, with the contests for other democratic nomina-. tlons; comes up Just about seventeen months from now, and promises to be ex- tremey intersting.
 Another soldier, Major T. O. Smith, of the Birmingham battalion, has also an- nounced himself as a candidate for this place, and there are many people in this county who will vote for the genial major always.
 There are several other candidates men, tioned, some of whom have announced themselves officially and others who are only rumored as candidates. Among them are Wyndham Mason, Andrew J. Burgin George l.. Young and others. Walter Moore is also spoken of as candidate, but when seen last night, he would neither confirm nor deny the report
 The race for sheriff gives every promise of being most interesting one.

A QUEER CASE.
ESS
Republican Nominated by Democrats
 and Cannot Decline Election.

Lacrosse, Wis, November "A verys un- usual action was brought in the circuit court here today and as result Mator1 Kircheis, of the Third Wisconsin v6lun4 teers, a republican, is compelled to ac= cept the nomination of sheriff of Lacrosse county on the democratic ticket against his will. While the major was in Porto. Rico, the democratic convention nominated him for sheriff without his consent or knowledge. His regiment has just re turned from Porto Rico on sixty-days fur tough and he did not reach home until Monday, two days too late to file his declination of the nomination. He refused to run and the county clerk refused to put his name the official ticket, Chairman Mahoney then brought an action in. the court to compel the county clerk to place Kircheis' name on the ticket and won his case. Judge Wick, in his ruling, held that the law required that a declination be filed nine days before election and it is not for the court to put any. different ,constriictl ion
 upon the statute., The major made an, ex7 cellent record in Porto Rico as an army officer, and it is conceded that he will not be elected by large majority, but he is still an army officer. His regiment may not be mustered out until long after he has been elected, and he will not accept the office. The legal fraternity in this city say this is the queerst case on record, and a great variety of opinions are expressed by the1ff .s-

Pittsburg, November 3-At a. m. there has not been the general resumption of window glass factories that was expected.

 At the D. o. Cunningham factory, this city, there was great excitement. Men and women were out in force to see who would disobey Burns. A number of men were in readiness, but the word was given to start Burns got on the inside and ordered idle ness. Some obeyed, but few remained and were made the subjects of jeers by the crowd outside The police finally dispersed the mob, and no one is allowed near the premises of the factory.

She has been very popular here socially, but sine says that the scenes she has passed through during the war has destroyed any fancy she might have had for social life, and her only ambition now is to graduate and take a medal in the training school
 Of late years it has become almost fad among young women of high social stand ing to take a course in the training schools, even if they do not adopt the careers of nurse for their life work. A. number of young women of wealth and social position here have undertaken the position of the trained nurse. Even if they do not follow it after graduation, they make useful members of society. Miss Long, daughter of the secretary of the navy, had started upon a course of train ing before the war. She at once went into the camps and has now taken up her studies again. Miss Wheeler had much valuable experience at Tampa and Camp Wikoff which will be of great use to her in her career, if she decides to continue after graduation. She says she will not give it up, but make it her life work.
