That thing which men put IN their
mouths to steal away their brains Is
bad enough, according to common rll-
NOR, under the auspices OF the blind
tiger, but from what W. V. Price, a
mississippi member of the immunes
in camp at Santiago, tells about the
rum they have there, it is about the
rankest jag water ever concOcted. Mr..
Price, ina letter published in the
Greenwood Flag, says: Ha! how l
wish had some OF the boys here to
throw Il few drinks Of the native rum
under their shirts. l have drank
whisky and whisky; licensed whisky
over mahogany bar and blind tiger
whisky from a funnel; also corn whis
ky from a gourd, and Mexican cidel
galore, hut blessed II this native rum
don't stand on the top Of the pot
One drink will make you feel good
and IL you are not busted, you viii
set, 'em up to the crowd, and thi
one will make you feel, better; TIN
third will make you drinky; th
fourth will make you drunk; tifth viii
make you drunker and the sixth vii
give you the monkeys; seventh VIII
give you the guardhouse; the cignt''
will give you conclusion, and, II you
are a soldier, the ninth will give you
three yolleys, military honors' taps,
etc. one private less. but plenty OF
rum to spare. In the States II
takes a continued spree to give a fel-
low the 'jimjams', but here one little
rum drunk will make you imagine you
have scorpions, tarantulas, singing
lizards, landcrabs, monkeys, snakes,
etc, all under your United States
blankets"

HE WAS1N MISSISSIPPI.
COLORED NEWSPAPER MAN HAS A TILL
WITH A GRENADIAN.

Charles Stewart, a negro newspaper
correspondent, well known to acer-
tain class throughout the South, is
at present employed by the Chicago
lnter-Ocean, and that paper recently
commissioned him to report the pro-
ceedings OF the colored Methodist con-
ference at jackson, Tenn. After leav-
ing Jackson the press correspondent
found occasion to visit Grenada, Miss
1t is generally known that when in
Mississippi you do as Mississippians
do, and that includes the recognition
OF white supremacy Stewart is ex-
ceedingly Of color and possesses con-
siderblc avordupois. When he pre-
sented himself at the Grenada post
office several days ago and inquired for
his mail, nothing could be more ma
tural than for Postmaster J. L. Tay-
lor, thinking he recognized in the
quilldriver IA plantation negro, to
say:
"Well, Uncle, what can l do for
you?"
Perhaps Stewart forgot that he was
in the land where scatiOld and sher-
II are not necessary TO execute an
African. He bristIed all up and put
on a Chicago swagger, hotly replying
back through the small delivery win
dow.
"l'm none of your uncle; I'm gen.
tlcman."
The postmaster made a grab thro
the small opening, and Stewart sough,
the nearest exit. Later in the da,
the men met, and Stewart showed al
inclination to precipitate difficulty
with the mail vendor. This actor
was interpreted by the Mississippiar
to be decidedly antagonistic tn The
customs of his State, and he spared
no time in putting bullet in Stew
arts groin. The wound was not Sc
rious enough to prevent the cores
pondent from seeking refuge in more
genial cine.

NEXT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Senator James X. Jones, chairman
OF the Democratic national commit.
tee, says in an interview in the Wash.
ington Post, THAT the next Democrat
ic national convention will Teaffirm
the platform OF 1896. In the CAM
paign OF 1896 both parties declared
for bimc:allism, the Democrats f0f
independent action, and the Republi-
cans for an international agreement.
The Senator thinks there are as many
believers in bimctalist1 to-day as ev.
or before, and that the only way to ac-
complish it is through the Democrat
ic party. He accounts for the activ-
ity in business by the with drawal OF
so many men who are In tile army
from business occupations. Also the
demand created by the war for sup
plies, but believes there is as much
general dissatisfaction as there was
formerly.

"That's "A good chunk of a horse,

the 'swap'' still protested, "bnt climb

there sir, needs attention. Take him
home and doctor him" And he en-.
forced obedience by drawing an army
Colt.
The bargain was concluded; the
parsnn mounted his new steed, and
the pair rushed on. After riding some
miles in silence, Ray remarked very
sobcrly: Il have been ponderng what

II all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,

Would brighten In the blue;
If cruel words were kisses.
And every scowl,a smile

To meet u brothers need.
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave OF greed.
II those who whine would whistle,
And those who langnish laugh
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain Outrun the chat;
II hearts were only jolly,
II grlcviny were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
Were things thatnow are not
Then Love would kneel to Duty,
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower OF beauty.
A dream within dream.

And women cease to sigh
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die

And every eye would shine.

INVOLVES RAILROAD TRUST.
Eel River Case to Be Argued in SUI
preme Court To-day.

The Eel River case will be argued before
the Supreme Court to-day. The road ex-
tends from Logansport to Butler and the
suit is brought TO forfeit TIE lease OF the
railroad company by the State. In 1887 the
Wabash road leased the Eel River road for
ninety-nine years. and the books OF the
company were first transferred to Detroit,
Mich, ard then to Boston. The state holds
that one line cannot be leased by a parallel
line, which is also a competing line. This
suit Is brought TO wine up the affairs OF
the Eel River Company as well as TO forfeit
the lease. The suit once before went TO the
Supreme Court, but was reversed because
of lack of service on the company.
The question involved in the argumen
to-day will be that Of the right of a rail-
road company 10 a a lease with a COM
peting line and go out of business, and Incl
dentally the entire question OF combinations
and trusts permitted under the laws of In
diana will be argued. The railroad COM
panies will be represented by Henry Craw-
ford and Stewart, Hammond & Sims. and
the State will be represented by Judge j. NJ
Winfield, of Logansport. and Attorney Gen
eral Taylor.

BRIDGE LET.


The County Commissioners had a busy
time yesterday afternoon awarding bridge
contracts. Iron bridges are to be constructed
across Grassy creek. at the Brookville
road: across Bean creek. at the Church.
man pike. and across Crooked creek. at the
Kline gravel road. The stone work for the
Grassy creek bridge was let TO William
Fife at ss.45 n cubic yard. Robbins * Fra
zier were awarded the stonework for the
Bean-creek bridge at 1915 a cubic yard. The
stonework for the Crooked-creek bridge will
be constructed by William Fife at $50 a
cubic yard.
When the Commissioners came to award
the contract for the superstructure OF these
bridges they found trouble. They discovered
that Ii would be impossible to let the con-
tracts to the lowest bidders, because they
had failed TO comply with the new laws
regulating bids on work OF this character.
Although there were seven bidders. all the
contracts for the iron work were let 10 the
Laiayet1e briage company as IoI9 r
bridge, S.ll5: Bean-creek bridge, $3.50. The
Lafayette Bridge Company was also
awarded the contract for building the super
structure OF the Eagle-creek bridge, at
Michigan street, west of the city. The COM
pany's bid was 81 40. On some of the bridges
two companies bid lower than the Lafay-
cite Company. One OF these was the Younes-
town Bridge company and the other was
the Pennsylvania Bridge Company, both OF
Ohio. When IL came TO open the bids IL was
found that these companies had failed TO
furnish the proper affidavits that they were
not In collision with any other company.
This is required by the new county reform
law. They had also failed TO file a bond with
their bids, which is also a requirement OF
the new law. One bid was thrown out be-
cause the affidavit accompanying IL was
made two weeks ago. The commissioners
claim they might hsve saved from $500 10
$1,000 by letting the contracts In the old
way.
The representatives Of the Ohio companies
