Mr.. John Moody, a former
Columbian who now manages
Martz's confectionery in Jack
son, had the misfortune to meet
with a very painful accident last

dining room into the kitchen
Mr.. Moody ran into a waiter who
had bucket of boiling water on
his head and in the collision
which followed was drenched
almost from head to foot, his
body and limbs being so badly
scalded as to force him to keep
his bed for several days.

a NEW BANK.

There is a we'll defined rumor
afloat on the streets to the effect
that new bank is soon to be es-
tablished in olumbus. The high
price of cotton and the large
amount Of money placed in circu-
lation ae a result thereof has led
financiers to the belief that there
is room in Columbus for another
banking Institution and that the
time for its establishment is al
hand.
The movement is headed by
men Of ample means who say
that thsy mean business, and il
is not unlikely that the new bank
will be established at an early
date.

DATES CHANGED.
Confederate Reunion Will be
Held in June instead of
September as FIlst
Planned.

! The annual reunion of Con-
federate veterans is to be held in
Nashville this year, and the COM
mittee having the fixing Of the
dates in hand decided upon Sep
tember as the best month for
holding the reunion. The Sc
lection of this month, however,
did not meet with the approval of
the veterans, and letters of pro-
test began to pour in from camps
in ali portions Of the South. The
result was that the committee
rescinded the order convening
the reunion in September, and
decided to leave the selection of
the dates to Gen Lee, the com
mander Of the United Confeder
ate veterans, and the various de
partment commanders, suggest
ing that June IA, Is and is be
fixed as the dates for the re-
union.
Gen. Lee was seen by a Com
merciaG reporter and stated that
after a conference between him.
self and the various department,
commanders, which was held by
means of the telegraph, it had |
been decided to accept the sug- /
gestion of the Nashville commit +
tee, and that the reunion would I
be held on June IA, Is and 10.

Mr.. F. NJ. Runnels, the efficient
secretary of the Columbus Pro-
gressive Union, is IN receipt OF a
letter from the president of the
Louisville Veneering Company in
which it is stated that Mr.. Wm.
frost, a former resident of this
city, will visit Columbus at an
early date in the interests of the
veneering company, and that if
the proper kind of timber can be
found in the territory adjacent 70
this city that a yeneering plant
will certainly be erected here At
an early date.
As stated above, Mr.. frost Is
former resident of Columbus, and
has told the president Of the ve-
neering company that ne believes
that the exact class Of timber de-
sired can be found here. He can
not, h-wever, give a positive
opinion until ne goes thoroughly
over the ground. He viii proba-
bly, arrive next week, and If his
report is favorable the plant viii

The Louisville Veneering Com /
pany is one of the largest con- .
Germs of its kind in the country, 4
and is an extensive importer,
bringing millions of feet of ma
hogany to this country from
South America each year. This
timber is landed at New Orleans.

THAT GILBERT CASE.
Another Chapter in the Old Sena-
tOriaI Controversy.

o. /. Nugent's contest against the
nomination of A. L. Gilbert as the Re
publican nominee for state senator in
the Doniphan-Brown district is up be-
fore the state election board this after
noon.
Nugent is the man whom the Brown
county contingent nominated some
time ago, whose nomination was re-
jected by the contest board. Then Gil
bert was nominated by the DOniphan
delegates and two from Brown cOun-
ty and now Nugent is protesting
against Gilbert's nomination.
Nugent's attorneys are S L. Ryan of
Hiawatha and J. G. Slonecker of To-
peka. Gilbert himself is not here, but
he is represented by County Attorney
Brewster of Troy.
Cyrus Leland says that committee
of three, consisting of j. D. Weltmer, r.
f. Buckles and John Lang came from
Brown county to confer with a like
committee from Doniphan relative TO
the date for the convention after Nu-
gents nomination had been knocked
out; that May 6 was agreed upon, and
the Doniphan delegates adjourned to
that date; that some of the Brown del
egation telephOned on May that they
could not get to Troy till the following
day whereupon a. recess was taken I'M
til the afternoon of May Z In the
meantime list of ten names was sub
mitted by the Brown county croWd.
any one of which the Brown county
delegates said they would take. Welt
nler, Buckles and Lang came to the
convention accompanied by Col. Ryan,
son of S. L, Ryan, and S. z. Friend.
The Brown county delegates agreed
among themselves to vote around
once for each of the names presented
on their list and if there was no nom
ination that an adjournment should
be taken until after supper, and then
each man should vote for who ever
he pleased. This was done and IL
ballots were taken before supper.
After supper only Friend and Ryan
came back. Friend voted for Gilbert
and the ten Doniphan delegates did
the same, nominating him.
This is the ground on which it is
contended that Gilbert's nomination
was legal
