 Mobile, June 27.
 What for time looked promising in the way of a very serious difficulty and which is said not to be yet ended. oc- cured on the western shore. at Heron Bay. in this county yesterday.
 The news, from a reliable source. was as follows: "A delegation from the Central Trades Council of this city, went to Heron Bay to meet the mem bers of the Oystermens Union of that vicinity. The purpose was to arrange for big celebration on Labor Day at Alabama Port, near by and on the Mobile and Bay Shore road.
 The Oystermen had arranged for an elaborate dinner for the visitors, among whom were several ladies. Two kegs of beer were included in the bill of fare, which took in oysters fish, a crab gumbo. etc.
 When the oystemen, their families and the visitors got together the men began discussing the proposed cele- bration. Nine or ten malcontents who by the way have the reputation there and here as disturbers, secured posses sion of the beer and tried to break up the gathering. In the crowd was Justice of the Peace Delchamps and Deputy Sheriff Nugent, of that vicinity.
 AAS AoiHher uIeu to erect peace. The disturbers began cursing and acting ugly and the deputy stepped in. He was closed in on by the disturbers. one of whom had an ugly stick of timber. Nurgent backed against wall, drew his pistol and dared them to come on him.
 The unruly element gave vent to their feelings with curses and the others including the guests packed up and went to Alabama Port and con cluded their meeting, had a good din- ner and enjoyed themselves.
 Warrants will be sworn out for the disturbers who are residents of Heron Bay and they will be brought to justice. It is feared violence will follow the arrests.

tion of old and useless clerks would

There are many excellent reasons
why congress should provide for n
term of office. As general PROPOSE
ton, it is a bad thing for clerks to be-
come fixtures in the government EN-
ploy. They do not progress as rap
idly in the government as they do in
private enterprises, and many, believ-
ing they are permanent fixtures, be-
come eXtravagant and do not save
any of their salaries, whereas, if they
know that their term of office was
limited, they would make provision
for. a rainy day.
The adoption of such scheme
would not mean n return to the spoils
system, but at the same time it would
give many persons who desire to en-
ter the government service an Oppor-
tunity to do So

When the game was again begun
Monmouth's men took a fresh start
and before 10 minutes of play they
had tied the score and in a short time
had the lead on the home team. Then
is when the Augustana rooters got in
their work and Monmouth did not
keep their advanced score long. Urg-
