Mcclure, who was recently assassin ated in this city. has offered an additional reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of his fathers assassin. This makes the total reward now offered $1,0O0, and 1t is hoped that the large amount will stimulate some good detecti . to take hold of the mystery and unravel 1t.

The state has offered a reward of s4OO There is also reward of $31o or fered for the arrest and delivery at the Lauderdale county jail of John Legg, who murdered the two Bedingfields, father and son, at Rogersville, on the 23d of January.

Americans. who have received their musi- cad education in this country.
 Watch the Conductor


 One of the first things that an orchestra player must learn, or a chorus singer. as for that matter, is to watch the conductor. The conductor is the interpreter of the music and every one under his baton must follow him closely. And not only must every one follow his beats, but must watch his face and read his mind Every member of the orchestra and every member or the chorus must keep one eye on the music page and the other eye on the conductor
 No one-eyed person, therefore. could get along in an orchestra or chorus. Thomas is a. very strict man.. He Is certainly exaeting. He makes no allowance for careless work. In Cincinnatia few weeks ago Thomas was conducting festival chorus rehearsal. It was his first rehearsal for this years festi- val In the chorus were many new mem bers who had never sung under Thomas and the old members had forgotten some of the rules they had once learned. Thomas quietly laid down his "stick' and leaned on his desk. But the chorus sang on. Ar ter waiting for five minutes to see 1T the singers would notice his trick. Thomas yell ed out :"What are you singing for; stopped directing some time ago. When step you must stop. You must always look at me. The lesson was impressed upon the chorus and the members will not soon forget II. "Watch your conductor is an important motto for every orchestra musician ana every chorus in the world.
 In conclusion I will repeat a good story apropos of the art of reading music and looking at the conductor at the same time, which was told me by John Calman, the accomplished Birmingham violinist on him. self. He was carefully educated by his un- cle, violin virtuoso in Hamburg. On com ing to this country at the age of 20 or 21 he felt that he was able to hold his own in any first-class orchestra. His work as a student had been in the solo line, but he thought he would have no trouble in learn ing orchestra routine. He accepted an en- gagement in a New York orchestra and at the first rehearsal he broke down and went home in despair He could not look at his music and look at the conductor, too. His career as musician must be abandoned, he thought. While he was in a Respondent mood the conductor of the orchestra talked ito him kindly and encour- aged him to try again. Calman did try again and he learned to watch his leader and read at the same time, but says he never felt thoroughly at home in the orches- tra until he had been playing for two or three years.

on Cook without warning from his door
with a Winchester. Three shots entered
Cooks back and he fell from his horse,
dead. Several shots we're then fired at
McBroom, Cooks companion .as ne ran
from the scene. The murderer had not
been arrested at last accounts
The killing OF Cook occurred near the
Hallway House. where the Cook gang
had their first battle. FIVE years ago, in
which Sequoyah Houston, a Cherokee
deputy. was killed and Jim Cook shot In
fifteen different places, and then through
the aid OF his brother, BIZ Cook, made
his escape. Jim was conveyed 10 cave
