 Awarded.

 The County feed bill for the month was awarded to A. NJ. Anderson.

TO EXAMINE SOLDIERS.
Members of Greys to stani for Non
 Commissioned Offices.

Captain S. H. Roberts. commanding of- ficer of the Montgomery Greys has de- clared all non commissioned offices in the company vacant and will tomorrow night hold a written examination for the va cant offices.
 Hitherto 1t has been the uniform cus- tom in the Montgomery military compa- nies to leave the selection of the non- commissioned officers solely to the dis erection of the captain of the command Captain Roberts believes. however, that the efficiency of the company can be greatly increased by having the non-com- missIoned officers well posted in tactics and military regulations The examina- ton for the coveted positions for the men of the rank and file, he believes, will act as an incentive for them to acquire mill itaPy knowledge.
 Captain Roberts said yesterday that military bearing, regular attendance and general military department would play parts in his selection of the officers and their respective rank.
 The examination will take place tomor- row night immediately after the regular monthly muster and drill. Captain Rob erts urges that all members of the conn mand enter the competition.

A matter of great interest and pride ia tne people of the State Is that $150,C00 was set aside to improve the Capitol. The money Is to be expended at the discretion or the Governor and there is reason to believe that work will begin within two years The act creates a Capitol Com mission consisting of rne Governor. the secretary of State, the Auditor. the Treas urer and the Attorney General. The di- rector Of the Department of Archives and History Is to be Secretary of the Com- mission.
 The salary of the Governor was in- creased from 5000 to 5000 a year and the salary of his Private Secretary wa s raised from q. 800 to g. 400 a year.
 TWO bills in which there was widespread interest failed to pass the two houses. Iney were the municipal code bill and the measure prohibiting the sale or use of trading stamps
 The failure of the municipal bill was due to wide difference of opinion be- tween the Senate and the House. The senate passed the Recess Committed s bni and the House passed a measure drawn by Representative R. w. Walker or Madison. The two bodies could not get together and all municipal legisla- tion failed.
 Secretary Fillmore Garrett of the Sen- ate and Clerk Frank N. Julian of the House will be at the Capitol several weeks completing the work of compiling the records of the two Houses.

A SHARKS QUICK TRIP.
Had Travelled from Africa
In Two Days.

4 prominent government Official who
has returned from a visit to Palm
Beach, Fla, tells about seeing huge
man-eating shark that was captured
at that place, reports the New York
Tribune II was one q the biggest
sharks ever caught in Florida waters
and was evidently a sailor Of many
years. The animal measured over is
feet in length. had a sword attachments
that waE as long as an arm, and was
Of the leopard variety, stamping it as
one Of the man-eating variety dan
gerous beast.
The shark was caught by a shark
fisherman. He used a large rope for a
line, and had windlass as a reel. At
the end Of the line was a huge steel
hook, and this was baited with large,
bright tin can. The shark bit at the
bait and was entrapped. He was land
ed after the toughest time the fisher
man ever experienced. 1t was the in
terror Of the fish, however. that ex-
cited the greatest interest. When he
was cut open a whole porpoise was
found in the stomach. There was also
a large piece Of partly digested shark
and the head Of an ostrich. The piece
of a shark inside the monster was out
Of the back, and contained the back
bone Of the dead animal
A careful examination showed that
the backbones were larger than the
backbones of the captured shark. A
number of scars on his body showed
that he had been in conflict with an
other shark, and the finding Of piece.
Of the adversary showed that the con-
hict had ended in the death Of the op-
ponent; that the victor had then swal-
lowed juicy portion Of his adversary.
The presence Of the ostrich hsadin the
stomach of the man-eater was regard
ed as undoubted proof that the shark
had probably just arrived in Florida
waters from Africa, and that be had
made the trip in two or three days.
The head was not digested, and the
process of digestion had only just be-
gun. There is only one ostrich farm
in Florida, and when that institution
was communicated with the owners
said that they had not lost an ostrich
in year. The ability of a shark to
pass a fast steamer in one minutes
time is wen known to travellers, and
there is no doubt that the shark had
been in African waters and had cap
tured a stray ostrich. or the head of
one that had been killed, and then
started across the Atlantic, reaching
the Florida waters before the ostrich
head had begun to digest.

HE DIDN'T SCARE.
The Cowboy Whose Ear Was GrnEed
By the Claws Of a Noun
tain Lion.

4 have often heard Of cases Of
nerve" said a Detroiter who, accord
ing to the Free Press, spent two months
of last summer in Colorado, but I saw
a specimen of it in the mountains to
make my hair curl. It was in the foot
hills, and / was riding behind a cowboy
and looking for lost cattle, when a
mountain lion sprang at him from the
crest Of a mass of rock u feet high. |
wasn't over 20 feet behind the man, and
so / had a close view Of the perform
ance. The lion put too much vim into
his spring and overleaped the rider, but
one of his hind feet clawed the cow
boys hat OF just the same The spring
was accompanied by a growl and roar,
and as the beast came down among the
bushes on the other side he roared
again, but neither horse nor rider even
gave a start I saw the beast in the
air. but. couldn't identify it as a lion.
and therefore called out to the cowboy
to ask what had happened.
20. nuthin much, was his reply.
But didn't some sort of animal
spring at you OF the rocks?"
'Yes-a mountain lion
And he clawed your hat orr
Yes.
Gracious, man, you had a narrow
escape.
20, don't know. he carelessly re-
piled as he dismounted for his hat I
heard him as he gathered to spring. and
I ducked as he came along, but didn't
get low enough within an inch guess
I was too busy thinkin'
But suppose he had landed on your
head and shoulders I demanded.
Well. reckon you could have
found your way back alone and told the
colonel that 1 had quit my job
He wouldn't even admit that he had
had a narrow escape, and when told
some Of the other men about it one Of
'em yawned an stretched and dravled
out;
A mountain lion, Ell? Yes, / be-
lieye they do sometimes hurt bad chill
dren'"
