Jack Pot IL still in the Gnme,

A Canadian exchange is responsible
for the story that an Indian belonging
to the Creek nation, and bearing the
hazardous name of Jack Pot, is now
living in comparative peace with his
four wives, and seems to be happily
consoled for the death of their % pre-
decessors It may seem incredible
that this jack pot could be won so
many times, but he is 1oS years old.
The sound teeth in his head are said
to be the third set with which nature
has endowed him.

FOWLER NOMINATED
Renublican Candidate for Governor of Tennessee-Wa Brownlow's Man.

Nashville, Aug. T.-At the afternoon ses- sion of the republican convention today w. P. Brownlow,- congressman for the First district, was elected permanent chairman and A. lM.- Tillman. United States district attorney, secretary.
 James A. Fowler of Clinton, East Ten nessee, was nominated for governor by exclamation. He was Browlnow's candi- date, and the determination to nominate him was a surprise, for up to the afternoon session of the convention it was believed that S. w. Hawkins of Huntingdon had been decided upon. MT. Fowler is but lit- tie known throughout this portion Of the state, but is a wel-known leader in upper Tennessee.
 The platform is chiefly devoted to de- manding reforms in the state administra- tion. It indorses the St. Louis platform and the gold standard.
 The platform says in regard to territorial expansion:
 I've favor the immediate construction. under strictly American control. of the Nicaragua canal. We indorse in the full

WHISPERING OUT.
Over One-Half of the Volunteer Army to
 Be Discharged.

Washington, Aug 17.-At midnight to- night the president announced his decision to muster out of the service from 75,OOO to 100 900 of the volunteers. Those to be dis charged i'll include three branches of the service, infantry, artillery and cavalry. The question of the mastering out of the volunteers has been under consideration for several days. It as quite evident to be- gin with that a considerable force neces- sarily would have to be retained. With only part of the Voluteer force mustered out, 1t became delicate question to des- ignate the organizations which should go.
 From a prominent official of the admin istration it is understood to be the desire of the president to ascertain the desire of the troops themselves as to remaining in the service. One or two regiments have all ready indicated desire to leave the serV- ice soon as the government can reason ably do without them. They are composed largely of business and workingmen, whose private interests are suffering by reason of their absence from home. So far as the in terests of the government will permit 1t is believed that the president in the muster ing out of the volunteers will accommo- date himself to the wishes of the men themselves. Within certain obvious limita- tons those troops who want to be mus tered out will be, and those wishing to re- main in the service will be retained.
 Itmay be some time before the organiza- tions to be mustered out will be designat- ed, but the reduction in e3 volunteer forces will be made as soon as possible.
 President Mckinley has decided that he will review the heroes of Santiago In New York City if his duties will permit. He so informed. Major General Wheeler, with whom he had long conference today and wbe is to assume command at Montauk Point pending the arrival of General Shaft

CHAOTIC CONDITION
Regarding Moving of Troops From Fer
 nandina to Huntsville.

Fernandina, Fla, Aug 1.-The same cha otic condition regarding the movement of the troops to Huntsville existed today and in fact there have been no definite orders for the actual removal. Each regiment is busted with apportioning its three days travel and ten days field raticI1s recently required by orders with a view to the move ment. It was said yesterday that the rail- road would be ready to begin the movenfent on Friday, but this is now understood to be impossible. There is a feeling in the regiments that they will be mustered out ,as soon as they reach Huntsyille.sia5 Isi General Jacob Kline,5 of the First brigade, who has been complaining for several days, is now in bed.
 Alfred Graves, Company M, First Ohio, whose death was reported this morning, was sent to Lebanon, O., tonight. 5E

 Camp Wyckoff. ''.

5000 troops at Montauk Point, and they are mostly in camps of detention and in tents about the sand dunes. In addition troops are arriving daily. Today the four troops of rough riders, who had been stop- ping in ersey City for some days, got into camp over the Long Island railroad. The transport Mattewan is being unloaded and as the soldiers reached the shore, they re- ceived an enthusiastic welcome. The first rgular cavalry and part of the Fourth reg ular artillery came to Montauk Point from Santiago on the Mattewan. One soldier died in the detention camp today.

supporting family on a salary of SIP per week.
 I do not wish to be understood to say that for the simple reason that a man Is honest and conducts his affairs in a thor oughly business manner, he is for these reasons alone certain to be successful. To become really successful-to amass a big permanent fortune in some business enter prise-each person must combine his hon esty and regularity first ith a complete lik- ing for the cool brain, and thirdly, bull dog determination that he will accomplish his aim.
 Of course the largeness of the fortune amassed must depend to a great extent upon the character of the enterprise and the amount of capital invested in 1t.
 If you have started out in any line of business-let it be brokerage, insurance or newspaper business-and find after trial that you are not making money and the work is not congenial, just simply get out. Give your friends due notice of your deter imitation and your reasons for doing so. and strike out in a fresh field at the first good opportunity. But think well before you act always.
 I think that the determination to suc- ceed-the downright, persistent, take-no- Encouragement feeling-makes more fnan- cial victories than any one thing else. Many a man has been on the brink of success when his courage gave out and he has fall en helpless mass to the ground.

FOUGHT WITH KNIFE.
Politician and Ex-Policeman Had Des-
 perate Encounter at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17-Jeff Harbin, prominent young politician and man about town, fought for thirty minutes this after noon with Perino Jordan. an ex-policeman and proprietor of the Christopher Colum- bus club, a resort of tipplers. A vicious looking knife, the property of Jordan. was the only weapon and the men fought for it's possession, each using 1t when victory seemed to be with him. Jordan Is fatally )unded, his face and body being covered with many cuts Harbin, also wounded, is locked up, while his antagonist is in a hospital.
 The men have been fast friends. Satur- day last they were arrested for participate ing in g. disturbance, and at the police court Harbin paid the fines for himself and Jordan.
 Harbin was in a saloon today when Jor- dan came in. After few words, evident ly of a pleaSent nature, the two men left the place and went to the Columbus rooms As soon as they entered the club room, according to the story told by Harbin, Jordan locked the door, and with the re- mark: Now I've got you here and l m go- ing to kill you, removed his coat and vest and produced a long bladed pocket knife. Both men are magnificent specimens or physical manhood, and Harbin, seeing a chance for life grappled with his antago- mist. For thirty minutes the two men fought for possession of the knife. Dur ing this time Jordan inflicted several se- were cuts on Harbin but the latter finally secured the weapon. Thoroughly alarmed lest his opponent should again gain pos- session of the knife, Harbin cut and slash ed his oponent until weak from the loss of blood, he sank to the floor. Harbin, thinking he had killed his man, walked to the police station and gave himself up Officers were sent to the Columbus club at once and found Jordan still alive. He was removed to a hospital and the club rooms locked up. s

Governor Atkinson is busily eDgag-
ed on his message to the legislature
which will contain a number of very
important communication and
will probably be the most volumin-
Gus document of the kind in the his
tory OF the state.
The governor is considering the
adyisability of recommending the
abolition of the irreducible school
fund and will probably decide to do
so. This IS matter that has been
agitated for several years. and there
is a strong sentiment in favor of
making the money, which now
amounts to about $780, 600, available
at the present time, instead of pill
ing it mp indefinitely for the benefit
of future generations, which accord
ing to the present constitutional
provision, must ever remain in the
future.
