Second Week of Revival.

The second week of the revival
which is being held under the
auspices of the Pastors Alliance
began last Sunday. and interest
in the meeting has grown each
day since it commenced. 1t was
extremely unfortunate that Rev.
@. H. Ray. who was to have con
Quoted the meeting, was unable
to fill his appointment, but he is
i'll with typhoid pneumonia at his
home in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and
it was therefore impossible for
him to come to Columbus. The
meeting is being conducted by
the local ministers, who are
working earnestly and zealously,
and t b cir efforts are being
crowned with gratifying success,
large congregations having at
tended each service that has
thus far been held and quite a
number of conversions having al
ready taken place.
The meeting will continue I'M
til further notice, and during the
coming week there will be SER
vices at ten o'clock each morning
conducted by Rev. J. B. Oakley,
pastor of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church, and at eight
o'clock each evening conducted
by Rev. w. A. Hewitt, pastor of
the First Baptist church.

urging all householders to put
their premises in a clearly con
dition for the summer months.
Columbus is one of the cleanest,
healthiest cities to be found any

der that this condition may be
preserved all yards should be
thoroughly gone over at least
once each year, and the season
for cleaning up is now at hand.

for it here and hereafter. remem-
boring that it is a most solemn
duty which you owe to yourself
yes, to your children and to your
community.
The people of our town and
com munity are under many
obligations to our distinguished
Circuit Judge. E. o. Sykes, for
pretermitting the Spring term
of his court, which was to have
convened in Colum bus on Mon
day of this week, until the No
vember term. This was done on
account of the farmers being so
badly behind with their work.
In this connection it might be
well to mention that the law
abiding people Of this communi-
ty are under obligations to Judge
Sykes for another reason. In
his charge to the grand jury last
fall he called their attention to
the fact that the use of dynamite
in the Buttahatchie River was
being freely INDUCED in. AS a
result Of this charge many of our
representative citizens were sum
moned before that body and to-
day we hear of no more dynamit-
ing, and the fisherman is once
more in evidence.
Rev. w. G. Galceran has been
sick the past week and failed to

which reads as follows: In re-

church and the school buildings
are a correct index of any COM

where the school buildings are
ample and su 5stantial. and there
you will find culture, intelligence
and all the evidences of the high
er life. Is there anything that
would add more to the general
appearance of our little town than
a handsome two-story bricE
school building erected at the in
tersection of North and Church
streets, where the old G. P.
church now stands, and what
would be of greater benefit to
our town and the community in
general than a strictly up to date
High School, where all the high
school branches including music,
literature, art, book-k e e ping,
ETC., are taught. and. in fact any
study that student might want
TO take, thereby preparing them
selves for the battles of life,
whether they ever see inside of
college walls or not. It would
be the means of developing tai

now up to you to say whether or
not we shall have such school

LION INVADED THE CAMP.

 When in Somaliland, Africa, l had an exciting adventure with a black named lion writes correspondent ln the London Chronicle.

 We repaired about 100 yards of it, pitched our tent and the cook got his hre lighted. gave me some dinner and 1 turned in. Our nineteen camels all squatted in circle to the right of the tent. our horses were tethered near 10 them and our twenty-one men lighted three or four fires, cooked their food and lay down to sleep around the eamels. We also had five donkeys tethered to two or three saplings, which were growing about two paces ID ITOuL bA tue lcIk du0s lASAc cAOAN' SO ward the center of the zareba.
 About 2 o'clock in the morning was awakened by two feeble brays, followed by third. Lighting candle, I tumbled out in my pajamas and got hold of my rife and a couple of car tridges, to meet the Somali hunters showing their woolly heads through the tent door, saying 'Waraba' (hyena). Deep growls were going on and l at once felt sure that 1t was no hyena, but lion in the zareba. Fortu- nately. the umels did not stampede.
 Tt was pitch dark, but l saw that one of the five donkeys tethered !n front of the tent was gazing intently toward the left and center. The other four had disappeared in the center Of the zarbeea, which, however, l found in the morning to be simply a mass of old dried thorn branches. so the six CT eight shots l fired at it In the darkness did little harm. The men were now pushing the fires and the cook supplied four or five of the men with sticks and with kerosene rapidly made some torches. then noticed that the donkey was gazing more to the left of the center and. guided by the growing. which was going on condnu- ously. I crept on my hands and knees past the donkey for a couple of yards. The men with the torches were then little behind my right shoulder
 Suddenly the torches famed up brightly, and the light being behind me somewhat was not dazzled by +, but saw the lion dragging of a don key. It did not take me more than one second to snap both barrels ar him and his growls at once ceased. After putting in two more cartridges and having the torches retrimmed We again advanced to find the lion lying on his side, giving a few expiring gasps. His nose touched the donkeys throat, a trickle of blood flowed down from under his left eye, and as after ward found he had got my second bullet in the nape of the neck"

WHEN THE CHAR WAS A BOY
He Had to Study the Same as Other
 Boyk,

Boys.
 The Emperor Nicholas and his two brothers, George and Michael, were educated entirely by private tutors un- der the direct superintendence of their father and mother. In the magnif- cent Anitchkoff Palace on the Neysky Prospekt, bare, uncarpeted room was assigned as the school room of the im- penal children. Its furniture consist ed entirely of wooden desks and benches, and the walls were decor sted by pictures cut from the foreign illustrated papers and pasted there by the boys themselves.
 The boys were sent to the school room Immediately after an early breakfast and not allowed to leave 1t until noon. The afternoon was theirs for play, but the morning hours had to be devoted to study.
 They were taught but little mathe- matc. and. in fact, their whole educa- ton consisted practically of modern languages. drawing, music and Rus sian history. Of the history of other countries they were taught more as they grew older, but the most they got of general history was a mere smat- tering after all. The result is that aside from his knowledge of modern languages the Car is not 30 well edu- cated as the ordinary school boy of America
 The Grand Duke George was near CT the age of Nicholas than his broth CT Michael and was his companion in all sports and studies. George was a stout, robust youth, and "Nicky" al- ways looked up to him and regarded everything he did as just about right. His death nearly broke the heart of his brother.
 The other brother, the Grand Duke Michael, being the youngest child, was always the fayorite of his mother. At 15 Michael was made colonel of a reg iment of Russian infantry and proudly put on his uniform and reviewed his regiment.
 Nicholas and George also had titles of honor as commanders in the army and navy of Russia, and were provided with gorgeous uniforms. Nicholas liked to wear his uniform, but hated to go to reviews and other functions where there were soldiers. If possible, he would steal away somewhere and would be found quietly sketching at a time when the heir of the empire was wanted to sit on horseback before the army. The young general of 13 often had to be punished before he would go to 6 review and he had many a good crying spell when he was told to put on his uniform and go out and play soldier before the nation.

Cannot Reduce a Rate

It is stated in Washington, that un- der the Townsend rate bill, if rate is fixed by the Commission it cannot be lowered by a railroad. Should an emergency arise calling for decreased rate, the railroads or shippers would have to appeal again to the Commis- sion, there being no latitude allowed, whatever the circumstances. Hitherto a maximum rate has been the rule, but no such concession is made under the proposed legislation.
