SOLDIERS COMMIT MURDER.
They Fire Into n Crowd Gathered TO do
Them Honor.

A Montgomery, Ala, special says
Some soldiers of the First Mississippi
regiment Of volunteers, who werO On
route home, after having beop muster
ed out Of the service at Columbia,
Tenn, committed a cowardy crime in
Alabama Wednesday.
AS the train was passing through
Eutaw, in western Alabama, e number
of the men pointed their guns through
the windows and fired a fusilade into
party of men, women and children,
who had assembled near the track to
do honor to the passing through OF q
body Of supposed brave men.
A woman was shot to death, boys
eye was shot out and others were less
seriously hurt. The train was NOV.
ing at the time and proceeded on into
Mississippi. One or two whole COM
panies will be arrested. a
Governor Johnston has offered sub
stantial rewards for their arrest.

WILL RELEASE FIFTY REGIMENTS.
Mastering Out Plans Agreed Upon by
President and Cabinet.

A Washington special says The
secretary Of war and adjutant general
have not determined upon any of the
regiments to be mustered ont under
the new order adopted by the presi-
dent and cabinet Wednesday to dis
charge 80 volunteer regiments, now in
the service, except that the volunteers
now in Manila and ordered homo will
head the list.
Adjutant General Corbin stated
Thursday morning that the work of
mastering out would be very carefully
considered, aud that there would be q
combing out of the regiments rather
than q general discharge of volunteers
in certain camps. Those ordered to
Cuba, Manila and Porto Rico would
not have their orders changed, but
would be sent to these places as soon
as transportation could be had, ~,
The war department has already
been overrun by requests for dis
charges aud mastering out of certain
regiments. but these have oil been
placed on file and will be taken up in
order.
One reason for the order to muster
out such large number of volunteers
is that it will save the government
$3.50, 900 month in pay alone. An
other reason is that by reducing the
size Of the army the military service
will be composed Of about 1907
men with sufficient force necessary to
furnish garrison for Cuba, Porto Rico,
the Philippines and the United States.
General Corbin said that the Third
Georgia would not be mustered out,
but would most certainly go to Neu-
vitas as originally ordered as soon as
transports conld be furnished them.

LAGRIPPE II EPIDEMIC.
Estimated That There Are 10000 Mild
Cases In Louisville.

cases In Lo"'snie'
II is estimated by the health de-
partment of Louisville, Ky, that there
are 10000 cases OF grip in that city.
The ravag,s Of the disease have been
so widespread that in many cases bus
inesses has been seriously impeded.
The public schools especially have
suffered, many of the teachers having
been obliged to abandon their duties
on account Of sickness.
The state Of the weather, which has
been wet and foggy for ten days past,
is given as the cause of the spread of
the disease by physicians.
Grip this year has not been so fatal,
however, as it was during the famous
epidemic Of seven years ago.
An epidemic Of grip has struck CO.
lumbus, Ohio, and il is estimated that
there are several thousand cases. Lo-
cal physicians all report the malady
prevalent in their practice, though not
in as severe a form as the epidemic of
1891. Public institutions are severely

BRYAN WELCOMED HOME.
Colonel Makes Speech In Opposition to
Expansion.


Expansion.
Colonel w. j. Bryan returned TO
Lincoln, Neb.. Friday afternoon and
was rendered reception at the Oliver
theater in the evening by the Woman's
Bimetalic League.
The house was crowded and Colonel
Bryan received an ovation. He was
introduced by Governor Holcomb,
who formally welcomed him home and
complimented him for his patriotism
in enlisting in the army.
After thanking his neighbors for
their cordial welcome and compliment
ing the members Of regiment aud Col
onel vifquain, In whose charge he left
them, he justified his resignation as
follows:
81 had five months Of peace in the
army, and resigned in order to take
part in fight. 1 am as much inter
ested in the people of the United
States as am in the people Of Cuba,
and unless ! am mistaken in judging,
we are called upon to meet more i'm
portant problems in the United States
just now than will confront our army
in Cdba.
''Some Of these problems were un-
der discussion before hostilities be-
gan, others have been thrust upon MS
as result OF the war. Let me inn
prove this, my first opportunity, to as
sure you that my zeal for tho reforms
advocated few months ago has not
in the least abated. Vital questions
cannot be killed or buried.
The American people have not &C.
cep.ed the gold standard as final. 1t
has wrought more injustice in our
country during the last twenty-five
years than Spain has wrought in all
colonies, and opposition, to it will
grow until the gold and silver coinage
of the constitution is fully restored.
The trusts which now flourish in de-
fiance of law are not more merciless
than Weyler was, aud the new trust
the paper money trust, which is seek
ing to obtain control of all the paper
money of the nation--is greater
menace to the country's welfare than
any foreign foe.
''There are, however, two new ques'
tions which demand immediate atten
ton, because congress is asked to act
upon them at once. The presto emf
recommends that the regular army be
permanently increased to 100, 900 men.
This question must be met now OF
not at all.
Taking up the subject Of imperial.
ism, Mr.. Bryan said that the president
has misinterpreted the sentiment OF
the people. They are opposed to
giving the Philippines back to Spain,
but they have not as yet declared in
favor of embarking upon colonial
policy. So great a change, he said,
could not be undertaken without more
Investigation and deliberatiou than
the people Ind yetgiven to the subject.
The principal part of Mr.. Bryan's
speech was devoted to the Philippine
question.

The Glorious Fourth.

Monday was !, beautiful, clear. cool
day, and there was a large crowd OF
people in town TO celebrate the Fourth
of July. Many farmers remained at
home TO work in the fields. but their
wives and little ones came to town to
celebrate
This Fourth will long be remembered
as the most glorious that has been cele-
brated tor many years, owing to the
grand good news from the war The de
struction of Cervera' feet at Santiago.
and the capture of Ccrvera, with 1900
Spanish soldiers, created enthusiasm
such as has not been experienced in
many years.
The exercises of the day began with
the parade, after which the crowd gath
cred in the park to listen to the address
of welcome by W. s Bernis, which was
excellent. Oliver G. Bronston read the
declaration of independence. This, with
music, occupied the forenoon. and the
crowd dispersed to devour the good
things prepared for the inner man.
After dinner, the band called the peo-
pie together, and Geo. A. Wilson adj
dressed them for short time. He was
followed by Miss Nellie McMurray, who
delivered an appropriate recitation,
which was highly commended After
her came Walter ". Douglass, OF Colony
who entertained the people with short
address Then came the orator of the
dav. Senator r. c. Lamb, of Yates Cen
ter, who spoke at length. The address
was very excellent effort Then came
the games, wheelbarrow race, creased
pig race etc, which were enjoyed by the
crowd
AT night came the fireworks and the
burning of the building erected south OF
the Missouri, Pacific depot. The fire
company rushed to the scene, and soon
had the fire under control, extinguishing
il in short time .n
The day was very enjoyable one--a
regular old-time celebration, where old
friends met who had not seen each other
for year. All went home tired but
happy
