The Name Tombfgbee.

Mr. Charles Gibson of Eufaula, l. T.
says that Tombigbee river is otter
written about and is in history, and no,
one In thousand knows why 1t is called
Tombigbee. Years ago there was such
a thing as a white man coming among
the North American Indians. 1t was
the case with the naming of this river.
There was lone white man among the
Choctaw Indians. He was a friendly
white man, not a boomer nor land
grabber, nor was he hobo.
He was a workingman and farmed 6
little, built houses or huts for the ma.
tives, and here comes in the history oi
not only the naming of the river, but
when the North American Indians be.
gan to bury their dead this white mar
could make coffin and persuaded the
wild men to bury their dead under the
sod. This good man lived on the banks
Of the river. The Choctaws did no,
know his name, but called him the
coffin maker, which In Choctaw Ii

has changed the above Chootaw words te

the gun and blazed away square In his

scared him nearly TO death, and he tore
down the railroad track and fell into q
cattle guard, thinking he was killed.
Another time fellow threatened to
carve me on sight. I met him coming
into store and instantly opened fire.
He skipped out nimbly and couldn't be
found for three days. Those blank car
tridges saved my bacon and my reputa-
tion, and, best of all, saved me the un-
told tribulation Of defending msyelf in
a murder trial. After that I was re,
garded as the gamest citizen in town,

Mr.. Brewers Statement.

Civil-Service Commissioner Brewer, who
presided over the civil-service investigation
at Concord, N. H., last week, has returned to
Washington. Mr.. Brewer said: 81 have no
knowledge of the filing of the charges against
about it. IT Mr.. Chandler has any personal
grievance toward ne in regard to my con-
duct on the examination he, of course, is at
perfect liberty to present the same to the
president, or any one else to whom he may
see fit The commission had been led to
presume that there would be no difficulty in
supplying persons who had knowledge of the
charges which took the commission to Con-
cord. So far as know none of the persons
asked by Gov. Busiel appeared, and while
quite number of persons appeared, they
were mostly those that had received circu-
lar letter which the commission on its arrival
sent out to those living in the immediate vi
cinity. So far as recollect now mo one who
appeared claimed to have knowledge of Sena-
tor Gallinger's connection with the sending
out of the campaign circulars.
"Senator Chandler in letter he sent to the
commission, dated June l, made the positive
statement and specific charge that Senator
Gallinger had prepared the matter for those
circular letters had caused them to be print
ed and sent them out TO federal office-holders,
and that Senator Gallinger had prepared
list of federal office-holders to whom they
were to be sent. These were not mere hear
say, but positive statements, and of course
we assumed he had personal knowledge. In
his statement at the hearing, however, he
very frankly said that he did not see these
circulars, nor did he personally know of the
facts. Special Agent Wales is still on the
case, and will hear some other persons whose
names were presented to the commission as
supposed to have some knowledge of the
question involved. On his return all the evil
dence will be taken up and passed upon. So
far, however, the case has not been disposed
of, though the lack of evidence to support
the charges from those that were heard is
significant"

lowed the Ground robin" itself to escape
from Manila. These correspondents claim
that their reports we're SO cut down and
changed by General Otis that they utterly
failed to give true conceptionsof the real
state of affairs, the alterations tending to
produce rose-colored view of the situa-
ton from the American standpoint. If the
reports under the alleged rigid censorship
have led the American people to entertain
rose-colored views of Philippine troubles,
the real truth would certainly have been
more than they could bear. General
Otis may be open to criticism, he seems to
be receiving fair share Of attention in
that respect at any rate, but he is not tar
wrong IN assuming that what people do not
know about the correspondents opinion OF
of this war is not liable to hurt them.
