An Important and Enthusiastic Meet
Ing Of the Association.

The annual meeting of the Alumni As
ISOLATION of the \. and Nj. College was
called to order by President G. II. Will
Iiams yesterday morning, at the col
lege.
Business of moment was transacted.
The association rendered a vote of
thanks to the banquet committee.
Punch and similar liquids had not been
served at the banquet Monday night,
and. after heated discussion, the as
ISOLATION decided to follow this prece-
dent in the future.
4 committee was appointed to draft
resolutions expressing deep regard and
high appreciation for Col. Holiday, who
as president since the organization of
the college, has done so much towards
It's development. This committee is
composed of Charles Williams, J. A.
BzzcH and Charles Pearson.
The alumni promised support
and cooperation to "Rcd ana

lcgc paper. The alumni are
making efforts to raise a fund to he
used for the benefit of the students, as
Il loan fund. or to fund scholarships. or
otherwise. they have not yet decided.
\ committee was appointed to take
THIS matter under consideration, and
report to the executive committee
Mr.. Charles Pearson, '93, chairman off
the executive committee, presented his
report for that committee. He spoke
of the earnest efforts made to secure a
textile school at the college. The alum
nj expressed their appreciation of the
work by vote of thanks.
The following officers were elected:
President-G. S. Traps, go.

Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee-Charles Pearson. '94.
Alumni Orator-C. w. Gold. 80.
Toast Master-C. Il. Williams. '93.
The meeting did not adjourn without
an outcropping of that which was up
permost in the minds of everyone pres
ent and of the entire student body-the
election of a president. 1t came mp ON
a resolution by Mr.. Gold endorsing Geo.
II. Winston for president of the col
lege and instructing Messrs. Bonitz
and Clark. the two alumni who are MEM
be11s of the board. to vote for him. This
of. course brought ont considerable dis
c,lsSion. 1t was pointed out that it
would hardly be proper for the associ,l-
tion to take part in the fight for the
presidency and even if it expressed an
opinion it had no right to attempt to
instruct those alumni who happened to
be members of the board.
The resolution received only some s
or 10 votes out of the 80 present.

How Capt. Bill Day Settles the Double
Physician Contest

There was ON episode at the peniten-
tiary yesterday that would not have
been whony devoid of humor, had there
not been such prodigious amount OF
disregard for mans rights and feel
ingS i'll it.
1t has already been noted in these
columns how Capt. Day had, without
Diminishing DIR. Rogers, the physician,
gone ahead and appointed DR.. Mckee
as physician, or rather had given Nc
Kee a note to Manager Arendell, say
Kee). 1T has been told also how Rog-
ers hau determined to continue in the
discharge of his duties until he had
been granted the common courtesy of
being notified to quit. DIR. Mckee had
also been going out and going through
the hospital
OF course this arrangement must end
somewhere and somehow-two oppos-
ing doctors ''physicing' the same folk.
1t came to an end yesterday, and i'll a
characteristic though ,mlooked-for way.
DR.. Rogers went out to pay his MORN
ing visit to the sick in the penitentiary.
When he reached the gate the guard,
a man named Price, told him he could
not come in.
But | must come in, said DIR.
Rogers. I'm physician to the pen-
Tertiary. elected by the board, and
have a right to go in"
Cant help it" laconically replied
the man with the gun.
"Why can't you help it?'
well" he condescended to explain,
Mr.. Alexander. the hospital steward,
told me awhile ago that MIR. Russell. the
warden. had told him that Mr.. Falc
Arendell, the manager. had told him to
have somebody tell me that / must not
let You come in this morning"
And DIR. Rogers drove back to town
wondering who in the thunder told Falc
Arendell.

GUARD SHOOTS HIMSELF.
He Was Preparing to XIII Snake-Pis-
TOD Shot Too Soon.

Yesterday morning e. i. Bledsoe,
one of the chain-gaIg guards in the en-
ploy of the county, accidentally shot
himself in the left leg, inficting a very
ugly and painful wound.
He was guarding some cOnvicts at
work on the roads in Bart0n's Greek
township. Seeing a large snake in u
stream he took out his pistol to kill it.
Somehow he accidentally discharged the
weapon and the bail entered his left
thigh, ranged down the leg past the
knee, into the calf of the leg between
the two bones, and was picked out by
DIR. McCullers from under the skin in
front.

NO ELECTION BYTRUSTEES
WINSTON LACK ED ONE VOTE,
PRIMROSE THREE.
ANOTHER "SPELL" AT BALlOTlNG TODAY
How The Board Stood for President. Report Of
the Reorganization Committee. Chairs
Of Agriculture and Horticul-
lure not Combined.

Though four ballots were taken by the
board of trustees yesterday for IA prcSi-
dent of the A. and NJ. College, no ono
was elected
The matter will be taken mp again
this morning at il o'cock, and fought
to finish.
Now the finish may be anyone of
three things:
Election of a president of the college.
Election of a chairman of the faculty.
Postponement of any election for Il
month.
The latter alternative was sprung late
last night and found several advocates.
The first three ballots for president
yesterday were the same, as follows:
George T. Winston. 8.
w. s. Primrose, Z.
ID. III. Hill. 1.
J. r. Brewer, 1.
Those voting for Winston We're:
Smith, Harris, Moore, Waller, Peele
Stokes, Wood. Sinclair and Ray.
Those that cast their ballots for Prim-
rose were: Fries. Leazar. Holladay,
Bonitz, Clark, Edwards and Raglan.
For HILL and Brewer were: Webb and
Twitty.
After adjournment for dinner fourth
ballot was taken, resulting:
Winston, Z.
Primrose, 6.
Holiday, ..
Hill, 1.
brewer. l.
On announcement it was decided by a
vote of to q to postpone further bal
loting for president until II O'Clock to-
day
The trustees will meet at $50 o'clock.
but the selection of president will not
come up till II. 1t is expected that by
that time one or perhaps both of the
absent trustees-Fields and Tompkins-
will come in and break the deadlock.
Yesterday afternoon two of them
Raglan and Moore-left for their homes.
but as one of them was for Primrose
and one for Winston neither side gains
any advantage by their absence.
A good deal of personal bitterness was
aroused in yesterdays fight and to pre-
vent further development along this line
the proposition for postponement of ac-
ton was discussed among trustees last
night.
Though Mr.. John w. Hardin, of Raj
eign, was present at part of yesterdays
meeting, he was not there when the bat
lot for president was taken. He is un-
derstood to be for Primrose. Mr.. Temp
kins is said to be for Winston. Mr..
Field is not expected at this meeting.
1t will therefore be seen that there
must be some changes in votes made
before there can be any election.
The trustees spent most of yesterdays
session hearing reports of President Ho-
laday and other members of the faculty
Reports of all of them except two were
received
Last night the board met at o'clock
at the Marlborough. Two hours were
spent discussing the report of the Re
organization Committee. As far as con-
sidered it was adopted practically as
presented. The only change made was
to the effect that the chairs of agrcul-
ture and horticulture should not be COM
bined.
AT II o'clock the board adjourned to
meet at the college this morning at $50
o'clock.

WORRYING THE HAY MEN.
Revenue Collectors Have
Them at Disadvantage.

The efforts of the representatives
of the interior department ia this
territory 10 collect the revenues
due the ration under tribal laws
are causing no end of disturbance
especially among the hay shippers.
The merchants and others are re-
fusiug to pay and at present there
don't seem to be any way of COM
pelling them. but the hay men are
not 50 fortunate; the railroad COM
panies haze been warned by the
Indian agent to receive no cars
loaded with hay for shipment
without the shippers produce
receipt from the agent or some
duly authorized person acting in
his stead, showing that 20 cents a
ton royalty has been paid. This
action on the part of the agent
will, it seems, compel the pay
meut of the royalty due the Chero-
kee nation. The hay men who
have large orders for hay, and have
the empty cars standing on the
sidings at the different stations are
in rather an embarrassing attitude
as the railroads charge demurrage
for every day the cars stand idle.

The Daily Chieftain is All Right at
Chelsea.

Fair McSpadden, of Chelsea.
spent a few days in the city TO
obtain surgical treatment for a
slight affection of the nose. He
called this morning to renew for
his Daily Chieftain to the end Of
the year, and to say that he espe-
cially liked the paper because of
its persistent warfare on the
'joint" keepers. HIS town, he
said, had been annoyed a great
deal by the vicious element, but
conditions were much improved
now. The good opinion of one
such man as Mr.. McSpadden, who
is moi afraid to express it, is worth
more than that of a hundred OF
those who are, "I'm with you,
bat you know how il isl can't
afford to say so" fellows.

learned the roll bet contained $40,

losses, claiming that SO was the
limit. The winner insisted upon
full payment, and declared that if
it was not forthcoming there d
"shore be trouble" " The obdu-

not until the winner had started
