AT the last meeting of the w. G. T. u,
Mrs. G. A. Stanley gave talk on "Tem-
perance Work in China" beginning
with this beautiful illustration. "Tem-
perance work is like climbing a high
mountain. The way seems long and
tedious, the heights far beyond, but if
we will turn and look back over the dis
tance travelled, we know that the sum
NIT will be reached at last"
Many thanks are due Mrs Stanley for
her helpful encouraging words.
The annual Frances Willard memorial

HAS NO VETERINARIANS.
Curious Error in New Army Bill RobS
the Artillery of Their VaIu-
able Services.

By curious oversight the artillery
finds itself without veterinarians, and
with no chance of securing these Off
GERS. BY defective phrase in the
wording of one of the sections of the
new army law, one veterinarian was
provided 'for each artillery regi.
ment." As the same bill abolished ar.
tillery regiments and formed the
equivalent of IL regiments into a
corps, the effect win be, so say the
army law officers, to deprive the ar,
tillery of veterinarians. The loss will
be felt keenly, for the artillery re
quires the services of veterinarians
quite as much as the cavalry.

The United States revenue cutter
Window arrived at Norfolk, Va, the
other day, from an extended partolling
trip. When the cutter was passing in
the capes her crew sighted a school of
whales headed for the south, There
appeared to be about 20 of the monsters,
who were spouting tons of water.
Whales going south at this season of

DUTIES OF The BOARD.
Sermon by Rev. F, j. Tyler Last Sun
day Night.


At the Cumberland PRESBYTERIAN
Tabernacle last Sunday night, the
pastor. Rev. F. j. Tyler. preached on
"The Duties of the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen"
During the course of his remarks he
said elias the Board the legal, as well
as the mOrdi right to close the bar
rooms at eight o'clockH No one who
has any conception whatever of the
terrible effects of the whiskey traffic
upon the morals of those who drink,
would hesitate a moment to say that the
Board had the moral right to close the
saloons, unless they are dead to every
claim of humanity; but there are those
who do say, and perhaps believe, that
the Board has no legal right to close
them at eight o'clock, mas much as the
owners of the saloons have paid the
license demanded by the authorities, in
order to sell. Now let us ask, "What
are the duties of the Board for which
| they have been elected. and to the faith
discharge of which they have pledged
themselves by solemn odth?"
After speaking of the various duties
of the Board, in caring for the finances
and heath of the city, Mr.. Tyler said.
The Board has control by law, of the
morals of the city. | did not say reli
gion, but morals. In our city code you
will find ordinances forbidding- under
heavy penalty, profanity, obscene pic
lures, suggestive exposures, or any
thing whatever, however valuable these
might be to the individual citizen, that
would tend to debauch the morals of
the general public. The open saloon
has been considered, and rightly too,
by the best element of society and by
the law, as source of evil, a fountain
of vice, hot bed of iniquity; where
men and boys. and many times women
and girls, are impoverished in purse, de-
based in mind, and polluted in soul.
You can no more run saloon without
boys and men than you can run saw
mill without logs, or grist mill with
out grain. The saloon business feeds
and fattens on tears and blood. 1t is the
enemy of virtue, truth, honesty, man
hood, womanhood: the home, the school,
the church, the State and God. Conse-
uuently it is the friend of everything
that is bad The Board. therefore, in
the exercise of it's authority as the con
servator of the public morals, saw fit 2
year or two ago to pass an ordinance
closing the barrooms at ten O'Clock p.
m. No good citizens questions the
fact that that act was legal By parity
of reasoning, then, if it was legal tC
close at ten, the same law that gave
them the authority to close at ten, then
gives authority to close now at eight
Citizens of Columbia should be PROUD

MYSTERY CLEARED.
John oakley's Skeleton Found on a
Farm Near Franklin.

JOnn OaRleyS oheleJou COuHo oh
Farm Near Franklin.
FRANKLIN, Tenn, Mar, 26. - The
identity of the skeleton, which was
found on the farm of John Mcpherson,
near Forest Home, last May, has been
established as that of John Oakley, a
Young railroad man of Nashville, who
mysteriously disappeared about year
ago. The skeleton was found by man
by the name of Stovall, who was out
hunting, lying under tree in dense
forest of woods on the Mcpherson place.
The find was reported to Mcpherson and
created a great deal of excitement in the
neighborhood. The skeleton was par
TALLY identified at the time as the re.
mains of William Scruggs, who a short
time before had killed man named
Brooks and fled. 1t was discovered that
there was bullet hole in the center OF
the forehead, the bullet was found
lodged in the back of the skull, and a
80 .caliber Smith & Wesson pistol with
one empty chamber was found near by,
giving evidence of suicide or murder.
The bones were dry and nearly all the
clothing decayed, though parts of the
trousers and coat, together with the
hat, we're found. Silver coin to the
value of $27 and gold filled keystone
watch were found later near tree.
Squire Mcpherson held an inquest
over the skeleton and every effort was
made to get clue to unravel the grue
some find. The property found was
taken in charge by Squire Mcpherson
and the mystery remained unsolVed I'M
til yesterday.
Recently the finding of the skeleton
was mentioned to sister of Oakley s,
as possibly that of her lost brother, as
the dates seemed to correspond and the
fact that her brother had visited rela
tives in that neighborhood Prompted
by what was told her she and her
brother, j. II. Oakley, began an investi.
cation and from facts learned were led
to believe that the disa pearance of the
brother was about to be solved. Mon
day they came to Franklin and drove
out to Squire McPhersoh's and identI-
fled the property as that OF their brother

was eXquisitely developed in black and

were showily outlined in jet. Another
creation worthy of notice was large

and partially concealing a wreath of
pink roses, Renaissance lace was eff.
fectiveiy draped.
Other new features of the seasons
