LOCATION OF CAMP
OFFICERS OF SECOND SELECT A
 SITE.
It Will Re at Electric Park the Exact Spot to Be Determined by Litl- gation Between Street
 Railways.

Col. E. H. Graves. commanding the End Alabama Infantry, which Is to be in practice camp near Montgomery for a week beginning July 12. yesterday morning located provisional site for the camp and with the assistance of Capt J. Hunt Taylor. Inspector of Rife Practice. located the position of the permanent rifle range to be built
 Tn case the legal controversies be- tween the MontgomerylS Street Railway and the Montgomery Traction Com pany over the entrance of the Traction Company line into Electric Park is moi concluded or is concluded favorably to the interests of the Montgomery Street Railway. the regiment will camp on the upland to the South of the park and across the Mount Meigs road. This is an ideal spot for a camp. Ample shade Is provided and the sod is fine for military purposes.
 Tn case the Traction Company wins the controversy, however. the camp will be on the brow of the opposite hill near the tracks of the Montgomery Street Railway and to the south of the park. This Is explained by Cap tain Taylor, who says that all the ne- gotiations for the camp were made with the Montgomery Street Railway and whatever benefits and privileges the soldiers will have will be from the Montgomery Street Railway. The regiment, therefore. in case two lines are running to Electric Park will camp closer to the lines of the old Com pany.
 The rife range has been laid off by Captain Taylor. Sergeant Tracy Lay, and an engineer and will be ready for service by July 12.

NIT. Tice Visits Scene Where Body of
 Unknown was Found.
 Coroner w. H. Tice yesterday went fo the spot on the Alabama river bank at Scott's Bend, about five miles from the city to vie wthe remains of a man body which was found Sunday after noon by John Johnson, negro farmer,
 He made a careful investigation on the scene to ascertain the Identity or the body but the attempt was futile axmI that remained of the body was tde skeleton and the decayed skin which held the bones together. The body was that of a man and 1t was decided that the man was a negro. The body was dressed in a suit of gray checked cloth and corduroy cap was fitted about the head. In the pockets of the coat, eight thirty-eight calibre pistol cartridges and bottle of gun oil were found but no weapon of any kind was found about the body.
 s-rhe body had been there for two or three months" said Coroner Tice yesterday afternoon after returning from the scene of the find "and the man had not been drowned. The body lay in a spot above the high water mark of the river and could not have been washed by the stream to the po- sition it occupied"
 Coroner Tice rendered verdict that ''the man came to his death from causes unknown to the Coroner of Montgomery county"
 The body was placed In a box and was buried on the spot where 1t was found and a headstone was placed above 1t showing that the coroner had made an investigation and buried the bndv

SIMPLE HEALTH RULES.

A famous New York physician,
healthy and handsome at IS sums up
his half a century of medical practice
and observation in these simpl rules of
health:
l. Be temperate in all things, in
matters of amusement or study as we'll
as in regard to foods and drinks. To
be temperate in all things, however,
does not imply that one must be
prohibitionist about every thing.
2. Don't be afraid to 60 to sleep,
for sleep is the best restorer for wasted
energies. Sleep certain number Of
hours every night, and then remember
that short nap during the day is
safer rejuvenator than cocktail.
3. Don t worry either about the
past, present or future. To waste a
single hour in regret for the past is
as senseless as to sen1 good money
after that which has been irrecovera-
bly, lost. To fret ones self about
what the future may have in store is
about as reasonable as to attempt to
brush back the tide of the ocean with
broom. Worry, of whatever kind,
banishes contentment, and content
ment is necessity of youth.
4. Keep the mind youthful. Live
in the present with all the other
young people. Don't let the old
people talk about the past, for the
mere act Of thinking about old things
reminds the mind Of its years. Re-
miniscences are dangerous-Whether
they be soothing or sweet or sad-for
they but characterize old age, and
must be sedulously avoided by those
who would be ever young.
5. Keep up with the times. Don't
