The simple explanation Of the steady

that the proof of its right to prevail is
absolutely convincing wherever it is
practically presented. There is moth

listen who has once driven loaded We
hicle over a road converted within his
observation from bad to good con-
dition. For him the demonstration is
complete and he forthwith becomes an
apostle. Such is the universal and un-
broken experience. 1t is a remarkable
fact that the movement has never re-
ceived a setback anywhere. 1t has in
evitably gone forward from a small
beginning more rapidly in some locali-
ties than In others, but 1t has not re-
trograded in a single instance.-New

Probing Charges.

Chicago. Although rumors Of sem
sations in connection with the team
sters strike are flying thick and fast
although there is no tangible evidence
to support them. Assistant States
Attorney Fake declared that the evl-
dence given before the grand jury
was of so startling a character that
it could only be parallelled once in a
thousand years. 1t is unoffieially de-
clared that the grand jury devoted
most of its time to listening to the
statements of witnesses, who declar-
ed that the strike against Montgom-
cry Ward & Co., was instigated by
rival business houses. States Attor-
ney Healy said that the investigation
has assumed scope so extensive that
the full session of the present grand
jury, which is to continue for the next
two weeks, will probably be finished
before the inquiry is concluded, and
that special grand jury will be nec-
essary to dispose of the routine busi-
ness now pending.

"The Department of Archives and

report from Judge Robert Bowman,

vice of all the Confe derate. organiza-
tions of Yazoo county. The Erepor!
is the fullest and one of the most ac-
curate which has been sent to this de-
partment since this work was com
menced in Mississippi, and shows in
full detail the number of companies
raised in the county, with all enlisted
men, with historical sketches of each
company, and historical data Of each
soldier. The report also divides the
organization into infantry, cavalry
and artillery, according to the arm
of the service in which the company
was engaged, the division of the Con-
federate Army to which it was as
signed, etc, etc. In other words, the
report shows whether the company
served in the Army Of Virginia or the
Army Of Tennessee. Judge Bowman
has spent several years on the report
which was undertaken at the joint
request Of the Yazoo veterans and the
Mississippi division of the United
Confederate Veterans. It is expect
ed that similar reports will be made
from every county in the state, as
active campaigns of like nature are
being conducted through the Depart
ment of Archives and History.
