Judge Craig an Applicant.

Judge George H. Craig of Selma, who Is mentioned as an applicant to succeed
 the late Judge Bruce. was the Judge of
 the Circuit and Criminal Court of this district for twelve years, going on the
 bench when he was only "A years old, and
 although he was a Republican and was
 antagonized politically by every lawyer
 in his circuit, he conducted his office in
 such an able and dignified manner as to
 gain the confidence and respect of all the
 people, regardless of politics. When he
 was retired from the bench in 1880, he re-
 sumed the practice of law. and in 1882
 was elected as a Republican candidate to
 the Forty eighth Congress. Before his
 term of office had expired, he was ap-
 pointed by President Arthur as United
 States Attorney for North and Middle Alabama, which office he filled until re- moved by President Cleveland. In 1894
 President Cleveland appointed him as a
 Republican member of the Board of Wis., itors to the West Point Military Academy. Since that time Judge Craig has been practicing law in Selma and now enjoys a large and lucrative practice and has the confidence of all the people He has | been recommended for the place by the
 Judges of the Circuit, City and Probate | Courts of Dallas County, and by all the | lawyers of the Selma bar. t .,

 Selma, Oct. 3.
 When Judge F.. H. Pitts, the newly appointed Probate Judge of Dallas Coun- ty, walked down the streets from his home on Broad Street to his office, he received a general ovation. Those who had been for him as well as those who had espoused the cause, of the other Wor- thy gentlemen who sought the position. stopped him on the streets and graspeo his hand in the most cordial manner' Judge Pitts, his face beaming with the pleasure that such a hearty reception gave him, returned his sincere thanks in a modest and becoming manner to the many words of congratulation that were showered; upon him.
 Nearly every vestige of the opposition 10 Judge Pittss appointment has been swept away and all hands are now praisfng the selection made by Governor Jelks.
 At Hayneville, when the news of Judge Pitts's appointment was received, a shout went up from the populace in the street, and when messenger rushed into the court room with a telegram in his hand. the Judge adjourned court long enough to have the message read and to allow the bar and spectators to exchange con gratulations on the news that had been received.
 Judge Pitts has forwarded his bond to Montgomery, and 1t will probably be ap- proved today, and then as soon as ms commission from the Secretary of State arrives, he will enter upon the discharge of his duties. The Probate Office has been closed since the death of. Judge Wood and business has somewhat accu- mulated on account of the suspension. On this account, and because Judge Wood died so far from home. the prompt ap- pointment by the Governor Is most heart fly approved.
 Not only the people. but the defeated candidates have congratulated Judge Pitts and all feel that he will make a wise, faithful. prudent. conscientious ad- ministrator of the affairs of the Probate Office. Judge Pitts is a man of affairs, and having managed his personal mat ters wisely. 1t goes without saying that he will look carefully after the finances of the county.

comes near, says an exchange of that

Alice is more fond of Keeper Shan
non than any of the others; he feeds
her. When Shannon approaches she
puts her nose close to the bars and
oscllates her whiskers knowingly, as
much as to say: 81 know you, Mike
Shannon, just as well as if | could
see YOU Where is my meat?"
Shannon says that Alice is about
25 wears old and has been blind for
five years. Since she lost her sight
her senses f'hearing and smell have
become keener than ever. When Billy
SNYDER comes from the elephant
house to the lion house direct Alice
becomes restless and ugly. She

The Location.

The commissioners say that they have

that there is no other point this side the

THE FIRST FORT KEARNEY.

speak of old Fort Kearney, it is usually
quite safe to assume that the post they
have in mind is the one so long main
tained at the head of Grand Island, on
the south side of the Platte, which was
landmark to so many thousand travel
ers over the plains in the freighting
days; but there was time when this
was New Fort Kearney and the Old Fort
Kearney of those days was at Nebraska
City. There are people who have heard
something to this effect, who are still
not quite clear as to the facts in the
case. THE CONSERVATIVE, in it's issue of
February 2, 1899, gave all the documents
on file in the War department Office at
Washington bearing on this establish
ment, and these are, and must always be,
the bulk of the authoritative history of
it.
The following is meant as synopsis
of these documents, giving the facts
obtained from them arranged consecu-
lively. The confessions of ignorance
which the writer is compelled to make
at too many points in the narrative, are
meant, not so much as apologies, but
rather to suggest to readers interesting
lines for investigation; and possibly to
incite some well-informed person to give
him the information which he lacks.
The Act of 1896.
The germ of the military post at this
point is found in an act Of congress of
July Q, 1886, providing for the opening
of military road between some point
on the Upper Mississippi and another on
Red river. There was at this time no
government post on the Missouri river
higher than Fort Leavenworth. One
had been established, in June, 1921, at or
near the sites of the Council Bluff of
Lewis and Clark and the Engineer
Cantonment of Major Long; this was
called first Fort Atkinson, after General
Henry Atkinson, who had encamped
there in the summer of 1919, and after
wards Fort Calhoun, after Monroe's
secretary of war, then in office; but the
troops were removed, in June, 1927, to
a point below, which was christened
Cantonment Leavenworth in honor of
their late commander, Col. Henry
Leavenworth.
The Road.
AS to this military road; the Red
river, which was it's destination, will
have been, out of the dozen or more
Red rivers which confuse the reader of
early travels, the one which empties into
the Mississippi at point short distance
above Baton Rouge; it was, by an
agreement made in 1919, considered the
southern boundary of the Louisiana
