DisgracefuI Conduct.

Meridian, Miss, Dec. 22.-Lucy
Thomas and 4-year-old boy were
shot at Eutaw, Ala, today by sol
diers of the first Mississippi vol
unteers, who were mustered out at
Columbia, Tenn. yesterday. The
child was shot above the left eye
and is not expected to recover
The mother received a painful
wound in the arm above the elbow.
The boys were drunk and dlsor-
derly, recklessly shooting into
every house as they passed. The
woman and child were standing ir
the door of their home and proved
an easy mark for the ruffians.
The firing was done from the
train on which the soldiers were Ell
route home, and was kept up a
other places along the line, but
fortunately, without further fata
result.
Gov. Johnston of Alabama hal
offered a reward of 800 for tn
arrest and conviction of every maj
implicated in the shooting.

current in Washington: The other
evening the wife of a prominent
citizen of Washington, while visit

mention that she had received a
basket of mushrooms from an un-
known source, and fearing that
they might not be genuine had
taken them to the market where
she usually bought her vegetables,
and had them carefully looked
over before they were cooked.
What were you afraid off," in
quired Mrs. Mckinley. L was

]. d. McDoUGALD's DEATH.
Companies In Which He
Carried Policies Investigating It.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.-The
Evening POST says that the insurance
companies In which j. D. McDougald
of Stockton insured his life are inves-
tigating his death.
1t has been learned that three weeks
prior to his taking off McDougald in
sured his for $4,000.
McDougald was killed on November
18th by the discharge of his gun while
on a hunting trip. Owing to the fact
that he had but recently insured his
life heavily, and that a suspicious piece
of string was attached to the trigger
of the gun, the insurance companies
have combined to investigate every
phase of his death, though they admit
that If he really did commit suicide he
covered up the deed SO nicely that they
will have great difficulty in proving it,
McDougald was at one time wealthy
capitalist and contractor but at the
time of his death his affairs were badly
involved. He had carried out a big ir-
rigation contract near Modesto, and.
took the district bonds to the amount
of about $4,000 in payment The
validity of the bonds have ever since
been in litigation and McDougald has
been in financial straits.

Exercise For the Voice.

Exercise is a powerful factor In the
development of the voice. 1t should be
taken in the open air. Children, like
Gagged birds, lose their song. Exercise
is born of the free field and pastoral
hills. A loud shout means long
breath; rapid race, many deep ones.
Thus are the receptacles Of the great
aerial storehouse opened, enabling US
to keep on tap that which is the very
essence of speech, without which no
sound can be sustained. 1t is fact
that people reared in the country have
clearer and ampler voices than those of
the northerly tribes Climate stimulates
to an outdoor life and deep breathing,
and many vocations that in colder
chimes are carried on in doors are per-
formed outside. Mountaineers have
louder voices than the inhabitants OF
the prairies, because of the respiratory
development incident to hill climbing.
The lesson from this is obvious. THE
breath of life'' is the one truth in
everybody's mouth 1t is the great pro-
verb that knows no denial. In her gen.
crosby of this vital fluid, Nature would
give us good measure, pressed down
and running over. Yetshow many Of the
pancake chests that drag the streets
like collapsed bellows, know the swell
and heave of encountered air, the suf-
ficingness of an honest breath? Moth
ing can supplant natures development
gymnastics; but in those unfortunate
cases where the conditions of life neces-
state confinement, much may be done
to expand the chest, increase cell func-
tons and volume of voice, through ar
tificial breathing exercises.-Fayette c.

gienic Gazette.

VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS.
AS Many as Possible Will Soon be
Mustered Out.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-If Con-
gress early in the session should make
provision for the increase of the regu-
lar army, it is quite probable that none
of the volunteer regiments now in the
service will be sent to do garrison duty
in Cuba. The troops first to be sent
to do garrison duty will be composed
largely of regular regiments, SO far as
they are available.
Plans are maturing for the muster
out of as many volunteers now in serv-
ice as is possible. The demand Of the
enlisted men to go home and leave the
service is growing greater every day.
This is true in nearly every garrison,
and the arrival of Senators and Repre-
sentatives with requests for the muster
out of regiments or of men in the regi-
ments has largely increased during the
the past three days. It is well known
that the volunteers at Manila desire to
come home, and the War Department is
considering the question Of sending reg
ular regiments to replace these volun-
teers as soon as arrangements can be
made.

Repetition Of History.

The most awful part of SPANS rec
ord is that made up by her own his
torian. Las Casas, a Spanish priest,
who has left a full account of the Oc-
cupation of the West Indies, and es-
pecially of Cuba The natives of these
islands, unlike the fierce North Ameri-
can Indians, were gentle and peaceful
race; leading a life of Arcadian SIM
plicity, and sustaining themselves al
most without labor by the spontaneous
products of that garden spot of the
earth.
This helpless race was completely ex-
terminated in less than thirty years,

Hemisphere false and wicked SYSTEM

blood of her sons and at a cost of un-
told millions.
Some Of the statements Of Las Casas

credible, were it not for the added
light thrown on the Spanish character
by recent events in Cuba. The unfor

certain of the crops to work an Indian

with another, than to give him any

paled, or torn to pieces by bloodhounds
On one occasion, in retaliation for the
killing of one of their oppressors, the
