sippi about 1886, and located at
Columbus. Lowndes county. He
was a member of the Confederate

selected by the bar of Mississippi
to represent the state at the
anticipated trial of President

case would never come to trial
on account of It's weakness, and
the wisdom Of his opinion was
afterwards demonstrated by
the dismissal OF the prosecution
by the Federal government
Judge Harrison was elected to

tives in the election which was

gest days of the week. The day
has been turned over to the
militia, and the local com mittee
has accomplished such thorough
and effective work that the day
promises to be a huge success
and bids fair to bring to the city
the largest crowd that has as
sembled here in many a day.
The committee sometime since
sent letters to the military or
CARNATIONS in all the surround
ing cities and towns inviting them
to come and participate in the
program, and many of them have
accepted the invitation. It is
certain that the military organi-
cations from Starkville, Tusca-
loosa, West Point, Bonneville and
the Lee Guards from the A. & M.
College will be present, and it is
more than likely that several
other companies will also be
here. A grand competitive drill
will be the special feature of the
day, and the directors of the fair
association have offered very
liberal prizes for the two best
drilled companies. Special trains
will be run from Tuscaloosa
every day throughout the pro-
gress of the fair, and it is proba-
bic that on Friday the Mobile

from Boonyille to accommodate
the visiting militia This train
will bring the Boonville compa
and will also pick up the West

first day of the exhibition
eciipsed the opening of any
former fair and surpassed the
fondest hopes and expectations
of the directors and others who

had the success of the venture

TO the hundreds of people who
had gathered from all portions of
the State to participate in the
festivities, and to help make our
fourth annual fair the biggest
and most successful one ia the
history of the association.
The visitors began to arrive as
early as Sunday, and by Monday
night nearly every hotel and
boarding house in the city was
filed to overlooking, some of
them having been compelled to
turn people away. Among the
first to arrive were, the horse
owners and their jockeys and
stablemen, some of whom
reached the city as early as last
Saturday. Horsemen and people
who follow the races generally

travelled extensively, as they go
to nearly every town in the
country that is large enough to

The grounds presented most
animated appearance yesterday

busy making out entry blanks
for the exhibits which wore wait

throughout the progress of the
exhibition.
To day will be one of the most
interesting and eventful ones of

Special to Times-Republican.
Meservy, Oct. 27.-With the receiver
in charge of the defunct Meservy bank,
it is still impossible to give many facts
in the case. 1t is now known that the
bookkeeping of the bank for the past
ninety days has been conducted very
loosely, and parties arriving here from
abroad have much trouble in tracing
out their interests. Many notes sent
here for collection are found all over
the safe, and the book entries In some
cases do not appear when receipted on
the back of the notes. Out of all the
rumors afloat it now seems that the
deposits will show between $4,000 and
$4,000. 1t is also reported that money
sent here to pay taxes, payments on
notes and other irregularities will be
the cause of criminal proceedings, I'M
less soon paid as intended by the re-
mitters. One man here in town is said
to have loaned the bank $4,000 only
short time ago. Altho the assignment
was made during the evening at Ma
son City, the banks grain buyer evil
IDENTIFY knew nothing Of it, for the next
morning he bought several loads of
grain, which the farmers had to take
out of the elevator and resell to other
parties. The conundrum, where has
the 10000 shortage gone? still remains
unanswerable.

Grinnell. Oct 27.-The heating ap-

high school building and tested to
prove it's satisfactory working, and the
man who has had the work in charge
leaves for Des Moines today. Both
high school buildings are thoroughly
warmed. The ventilation of the new
building is after the most approved
modern plain. The inside finishing is
being rapidly done, the rooms have
been assigned to the various teachers
and everything now points to an ear
lier occupation of the building than
even the most optimistic have recently

T. 1ool population has increased
so fast that the old high school build
ing will be filled with grade pupils as
soon as the high school pupils have
vacated it, and basement rooms in the
new high school building are reserved
for grades as there is sure to be de-
mand for more room in the near future.
There seems to be no waste space in
the new building. and all the rooms are
easy of access. the graduation of stairs
being such as to make the labor Of

CAN WAIVE EXEMPTION.
Supreme Court Shows Method by
Which Married Mems Wages May Be
Attached

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 21.-Wages of a
married man are not always exempt
from execution. The supreme court of
Iowa rendered an opinion this morning
in which the way is pointed out by
which garnishment proceedings against
the employer Of a married wage Garner
may be sustained The opinion was
rendered in the case Of Bowling & ALL
good against WILDER Wood. Wood was
an employee Of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee g. st. Paul railway. He owed
Bowling & Allgood $42 and, when they
threatened to garnish his employers to
secure the amount, he Is alleged to
have readily consented to have actual
ly expressed a desire that such pro-
cedure be resorted to. When the gar
nishment proceedings had actually
been begun, however, he fought them
to a finish. He went into court and
pleaded in defense, the we'll established
principle of law that wages of a mar
ried man, for ninety days back, are ex-
empt from execution. He denied hav-
ing abetted the bringing of the action
against the railroad and raised the
point that even If he had agreed to
the garnishment Of his wages, he had
not the right to waive the exemption
that the law gives unless his wife
JONES with him as the law makes the
exemption for the purpose of protect
ing the wife and children.
The supreme court holds that the
later contention Is in the nature of an
attempt to place a waiver of the ex-
emption privilege on the same foot
ing as mortgage and is without any
merit. In the Woods case they state
they are convinced that he actually
agreed to the bringing Of the garnish-
ment suit and that If he did. he has
waived his exemption privilege and has
no right to come into court and allege
it as defense. It is suggested that
possible motive for such agreement
on his part is to be found in the fact
that he had been laid off and a por-
ton Of his wages were being held back.

Waterloo, Oct. 27.-With unequaled
! atmospheric conditions an unprece-
,, dented attendance and every hostelry
in the city crowded to OVERLOOKING pre-
senhng scene of gay color and activ-
ity, the tWenty-seventh annual conven-
ton of the grand chapter of Iowa, Ord
err of Eastern Star, formally convened
at Browns opera house in West Wa
terloo Wednesday.
Today hundreds of delegates were
assembled in the auditorium when Mrs.
Fanny Sever of Stuart, worthy grand
matron, called the grand chapter to
order.
The suspicious weather of the past
few days. preceding the opening of
the convention, served to inspire pros
pective visitors to Waterloo with the
pleasure of attending the twenty
seventh annual meeting, and every
train over the railroads centering in
Waterloo which arrived during the
preceding twelve hours was crowded
with Eastern Star delegates and WISH
tors.
This afternoon officers were elected
as follows:
p. j. Martin. Waterloo, grand pa
iron.
Mrs. Fany Fever, Des Moines, grand
matro.
Mrs. Maria Jackson, Council Bluffs,
secretary
Ella Houghton. Red Oak, treasurer.
The other officers were not chosen.
Boone is the probable place Of the
next meeting.
Many additional delegates arrived
on trains early Wednesday morning
from all directions, and swelled the to-
tai of 500 reported Tuesday to con-
servative 1000. The grand chapter
officers expressed themselves as thor
oughly confident of record breaking
attendance at the Waterloo meeting,
and were equally pleased with the local
officers who have been perfecting plans
for the meeting for the past few
months. Altho all hotel accommoda-
tons were practically exhausted on
Tuesday night adequate facilities for
handling delegates are at hand, many
private homes have been thrown open
to the distinguished guests for the
week.
Never before has an assemblage of
such cultured, intelligent women with
wonderful executive ability graced
this city, and the gates have been
thrown open to them with the most
hearty OF welcomes. Among the dele
gates to the convention are wives of
