Anecdotes Of Colonel Eye.

Colonel Eye was famous character
In the early days. Although living In
Doniphan county. he was often In Atch-
ison. followed by a pack Of hounds.
He was a high toned southern gentle
man, with kind heart.
One day while returning home from
this city he came across a man whose
wagon was stuck in the mud In lnde-
pendence creek bottom. Colonel Ege
at once started in to help the man pry
ont his wagon with a fence rail.
While both were working away Ege
became angry and yelled to the man.
"I,ift. you son Of gun: you are not
lifting a pound" The man picked up
the end gate Of the wagon and split 1t
over Eyes head. laying him up tor
three weeks. Ege had his hat of when
he was struck and was so bald before
coming to Kansas that he was known
as the Bald Eagle Of Maryland.
Ege always carried pistol and was
always trying to shoot through some
bodv's hat without hitting him. One
day, at the independence creek ferry
he shot at q man, but aimed q little
low and creased him. But Ege was
always a gentleman: he took the man
into his home and tenderly cared for
him until he recovered. -.

the domination of the English buyers

the domination Of the English buyers
and Neill.
It was the breaking Of Neill as q
prophet. He had killed the goose that
supplied his golden eggs. His clients
cared no longer for his estimates, for
they had no faith in them. The hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars he had
received for his service were gone. too,
for Neill, like most men interested in
cotton, is speculatively inclined. Since
then he has tried to rehabilitate him
self; but he Is old, and the men who
used to fawn upon him now look upon
him with disdain. This season he was
out again with predictions Of monu-
mental crop. Once more he is wrong.
The few who followed him, thinking
perhaps he was right, have had sorry
experience. Cotton Is high-very high.
The crop is not big. Neill, whose word
was magic once, is but shadow.-New

SEVEN BAPTIST GOVERNORS.
That Denomination Has Been Sue
cessful In Southern Politics.

That Denomination Has Been Sue
cessful In Southern Politics.
Seven governors Of southern states
have been invited to attend the an
nual convention Of the Southern Bap-
lists, which will be held in this city,
beginning May 8. In the list Of cele-
brities that will attend will be many
of the ex-governors Of southern states,
President Eagle, Of Arkansas. being one
and Ex-Governor Northen, Of this state,
who is vice president Of the conven-
tion, being another.
The governors Of the south who are
Baptists rule over the following states
at this time: Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Arkansas and Louis
lana. The governor Of Alabama Is not
a churchman; but his family are men,
bers Of a Baptist church. The conven-
tions Of the Baptist church are always
noted for bringing together many OF
the brightest minds Of the south, as 1t
always includes in its makeup many of
the leaders Of thought.
The meetings Of the convention will
be held in the tabernacle to be built
in the park extension soon, If the de-
sired permission can be secured for It's
use. It is quite probable that the per-
mission will be granted by the city
council and monster tabernacle erect
ed which will be able to accommodate
the great crowds that will come.
It is estimated that at least $500
visitors from q distance will be pres
ent, and in addition hundreds more
from all of the nearby territory can
be counted on to attend. The meeting
will be a great one and there is no
church in the city that could begin
to hold the crowds, as hundreds and
hundreds Of all denominations will be
on hand, for the occasion will be one
Of the big events in church life in the
south during the year.
All around Savannah Is large Bap-
tist population and these will swell
the crowds to a very large extent, and
the fact that there Is population OF
nearly 100000 communicates in the
state, means that Savannah will have
to prepare for a crowd.-Savannah

IN A SUBMARINE.
Experiences Of q Journey Below
the Waters Surface.

Experiences of q Journey Below
the Waters Surface.
Lieutenant Lawrence Spear, former
ly naval constructor, who recently read
a paper in New York on submarine
war vessels before the Society Of Ma
val Architects and Marine Engineers,
gave to a representative Of the New
York Tribune an interesting descrip-
tion of his experience while under wa
ter during a three hours trial Of the
Adder in Peconic bay.
Fifteen miles were Travelled under
water without coming to the surface
once: After the first hour the trip
became monotonous. There were elev-
en- men in the boat, nearly eighteen
feet below the surface Of the water.
No noise could be heard except that
of an electric motor driving the boat
through the water at seven knots.
The captain stood with his head In the
coming tower, steering by the little
compass and timing the boat by his
watch, so that he might know when
to turn her around and begin the re-
turn trip Of the three-mile course.
Water could be seen rushing by, but
nothing else could be distinguished ex-
cept the small brass whistle which
stands close to the rear Of the tower;
the rest was just a wall Of green water
through which the Adder was rushing.
Objects ten feet away could not be
seen. AS for the air, 1t was as pure as
any could be in a room Of the same
area, and much purer than that of
many a cardroom in which men sit;
not for three hours, but for ten and
twelve hours with closed doors and
with the air vitiated by tobacco smoke.

well rendered, each member of the

giving Miss Myrtle Vinton, who took

and we state here without fear of sue

doubt the best company that has
appeared in our city.
One pleasing feature of the evening S

unfortunate that any suspicion of

Ore shipments.

Ore shipments up to date from the
head Of the lakes for 1903, show an In
crease of more than 200. 600 gross tons,
although the reports for October
show a decrease of 52,799 tons from
those of October. 1902.
With this showing as basis it
would look as if the. total shipments
up to the end OF the, season would
equal thsoe of last year, were it not for
the fact that the Steel corporation
announced Dme time ago it's inten-
tion of taking it's boats out Of COM
mission much earlier than usual.
During November last year the
shipments touched the / 800, 900 ton
mark. but present indications would
tend to show that the November
figures for this year will not run more
than one-half that amount from Min
nesota mines. This would give de-
crease of between 5000 and 100000
tons for the season and the fgtres
given are the estimates OF the officials
of the Steel corporation.

of October, as compared with those
of the same month last year, follow:

PROCLAMATIONS.

President Roosevelt has issued the
following prOclamati0n:
The season is at hand when,
according to the custom OF our people
il falls upon the president TO appoint
aday of praise and thanksgiving TO
God
During the last year, the Lord has
dealt beautifully with us, giving us
peace at home and abroad, and The
chance for our clLiZenS TO work Tor
their welfare and unhindered by war;
famine or plague. Ii behnoyes US not
only TO rejoice greatly because OF
what has been given us, but to acc epl
it with Il solemn sense OF reSpon-
sibility, realizing that under heaven
il rests with ourselves TO show that
we are worthy TO use Alright what has
thus been entrusted to our care. In
no other place and at no other time
has the experiment of government of
the people, by the people, for the pcO-
pie been tried on SO vast Il scale as
here in our own country i'll the open
ng years OF the twentieth century.
"Failure would not only be Il dread
full thing for us. but dreadful thing
for all mankind, because it would
mean loss Of hope for all who believe
in the power and the righteousness
of liberty.
Therefore, in thanking God for the
mercies extended TO us i'll the past,
we beseech Him that He may not be-
hold themin aiieifuture, and that our
hearts may be reused to war steadfaSt
ly for good and against all the forces
sof evil, public and private, pray for
strength and light, SO that in the
looming years we may. with cleanli-
ness, fearlessness and wisdom. do our
allotted work on earth in such manner
las to show-that we are not altogether
unworthy of the blessings, that we
received.
|. .sNoW. therefore, /. Theodore Roose-
welt. president of the United States.
|ifd hereby designate as Il day OF gener-
I'll thanksgiving, Thursday, the 26th
day of the coming November. and do
recommend that throughout the land
people cease from their Wonted occu-
pat ions, and ain their several homes
and places of worship render. thanks
unto Almighty God for His manifold
mercies. In witness whereof. [ have
