SOLDIERS DISGRACE
THEIR UNIFORMS
MississippianS Shoot Negro Wo-
man and Child.
FIRED VOLLEY INTO STATION
Were Drunk and Disorderly All Along
the Way on Their Trip from Co
lumbia to Their Home State
Governors Reward.
FIRED VOLLEY INTO STATION

The First regiment. Mississippi volun-
teers, which was mustered out of service
at Columbia, Tenn, on Tuesday last, has
made record which for lawlessness is un-
paralleled in the history of the Spanish
American war, and which stands as last
ing disgrace against its members.
At clock yesterday morning a special
train of twelve cars bearing the ex-mem-
bers of the regiment to their Mississippi
homes passed through the city in high
state of hilarity, which, according to ad-
vices received later, increased as the train
neared their native state. The men were
drinking and many of them were disgrace
fully Dunk, and 1t looked as If trouble
was certain to result. Besides the stock
of bad whisky, quantities of ammunition
and a plentiful supply of "shootin' irons"
were aboard.
The train crew was badly handled by tho
ruffians and were powerless to keep order
aboard.
As the train sped westward the ruffians
became wilder, and when Eutaw was
reached volley was fired from one of the
cars, which wounded Lucy Thomas, ne
gro woman, and her child which was
standing near her on a bridge over the rail-
road tracks. the child was hit in the cor
ner of the left eye, the bullet coming out
behind the ear The woman was shot
though the arm, but was not seriously in
jured. Intense exeitment was created in
the little town and all kinds of rumors
were circulated. The bawdy ex-soldiers
expressed no regret for their dastardly
deed, but declared that they would clean
out every station along the line. The
agent at Eutaw heard these threats and
teegraphed to the other stations to be ON
their guard.
The town authorities of Eutaw, as soon
as they learned of the shooting, wired south
to have the train stopped and the soldiers
arrested, but the train had already reached
the state line and nothing could be done.
At York no depredat ons were committed,
although threats had been made that the
depot would be blown up, but at Toomsuba,
a small station between the state line and
Meridian, volley was fired into the depot
as the train passed, and the agent, who had
been warned by the operator at Eutaw,
! saved his life by hiding behind a chimney
in the building. Shots were fired from the
train at other places, and 1t reported
that negro had been killed near Biogee,
Mss, but could not be verified.
On the trip to Columbia, Tenn, to be
mustered out these same men disgraced
themselves by breaking the windows in the
cars, tearing up the seats and committing
other depredations.

Alger Denies the Renort

Washington, December 21-Secretary AL
ger is authority for the statement that
there is no truth in the report of change
in the head of the navy department. He
said that he was with Secretary Long a
great deal of the time during his visit to
the south with the president and found
nothing to justify the report that he con-
templated leaving the cabinet ON account of
Ill health or for any other reason. Secre-
tary Alger said he was perfectly satified
that there was no foundation for the re-
port.

THEY HAVE THE GRIP

Louisville, December H.-It is estimated
by the health department that there are
ten thousand cases of grip in this city.
The ravages of the disease have been SO
widespread that in many cases business has
been seriously impeded. The public schools
especially have suffered, many of the teach
ers having been obliged to abandon their
duties on account of sickness.

FIN UNPRECEDENTED SHLE

If 1t were possible for us to make any
other price than that which we have plainly
marked on every one of our pianos, we GER
tainly would do so far the next two days,
as nearly all of the cheaper styles have
been taken of the first big shipment of our
unfinished order. Come quick If you want
one.
We put the knife to the regular price so
deep when we started this sale that there is
nothing left to cut.
1t is not question of pr'ce with the Gus
toner when he sees the pianos, however,
but whether he can get the one the other
fellow is after
This year we have beat all records for
Christmas presents, and why not? They are
certainly going cheaper than they ever will
again, and that fact impresses itself on the
intelligent buyer the moment he enters our
store
We are not going to be here always; GER
tainly not longer than we can wind up our
business, and that is the reason we are
making ridiculously low prices for pianos
used and recommended by the greatest mu-
sicans in the world.

Caught Day Dreaming.

The class in French history of the Uni
versity of Chicago the other day was dis
cUssing the character and the fate of Marie
Antionette. Every member of the class
was showing deep interest in the subject
except handsome young fellow in gray
suit, sitting on one o: the back seats.
On his face the professor noticed a
sweet and far away look that showed his
thoughts were with fair woman of rather
more recent date than the one under dis
cussion. After a number of the pupils
had given their opinions concerning the
unfortunate Queen, seeing his opportunity
to catch a student mapping the professor
suddenly wheeled his chair and looked
straight at the dreamer.
And now, MI. Harris, will you please
tell us what you think about hero"
The young man suddenly awakened
from his dream with a start.
Her, Why" he instantly replied, with
certain unexpected enthusiasm, "she' S
the dearest, sweetest little girl in the
university"
