On Wednesday morning, the

picker, was found dead In his bed,
at Kitty Gray's, in the eastern por-
tion Of town.
The old fellow retired In good
health, and that morning awoke
Aunt Kitty and reminded her that
it was time to make coffee for tho
gin men, who generally partook OF
early coffee there. After Kitty had
finished her task she took the old
man u cup and found him dead.
On Tuesday morning, the 18th,

He left his home In town and
started to go to his work at Mr.,

after eating breakfast, and was
found by hunter, dead, at eleven
o'clock that morning.
In both cases the Coroner's ver'

IL does not seem probable that
criminal court will convene before
sometime in, or after, March, owing
to the uncertainty as to the forth
coming of money to pay jurors and
witnesses at the proper time. II
seems that the necessary amount

Is not available now, and Judge

that he will not order a term Of

hard-hearty husband for mercy and
forgiveness, the scene was pitched
in potato patch, with sieepy-eyed
cows and bewhiskered billy goats
as witnesses to the sad parting (the
scene was supposed to take place In
Lord Staford's palatial Mansion in
Europe.)
And then, before the curtain
rose, the audience wondered II it

house, they call It. was SO cold that
an arctic explorer would have felt
strong desire to return home.
The star, Miss Grantiy, had TO be

protested that she had not come TO

night--fhat IL two alarms, and
really two fires, bat only one build
ing pArished, and that the yard

dangerous proximity to the family
residence.
The first alarm was at about ten
o'clock Sunday night, when Helen
Grantly was In the midst Of the
second act OF "Her Lord and Mas
teri at the Sandoz Opera House
or course there was a semi-stam-
pede among the audience.
Some feared ii was their home
on fire.
Others almost shouted with glee
at the very mention of fire-some-
thing they could warm by.
The curtain rung down, and the
actresses in decollette were given
few minutes in which to get rubbed
down with horse-raddish and wrap
ped In storm blankets.
The cabin was we'll ablaze, the
flames shooting out of the roof,
when the fire department reached
the scene, The biting cold made it
extremely difficult to work, the
firemen's watersoaked clothes freez-
ing when they happened to stay a
few minutes away from the fire.
The flames were soon apparently
subdued, and the nights work In
that line was thought over with.
At one o'clock in the morning
another alarm brought the tired
and cold firemen out of their warm
beds, It proved to be the same
cabin. Snoldering ambers in the
roof had been overlooked, and this
fred the building second time.
The firemen got there in marvel
ously quick time, and the fire ex-
tinguished for the second time.

Montgomery August Especial. THE
100000 additional money, which will be-
come available, by order of the governor,
for the old Confederate veterans on
October l, next, Is the result of a legisla-
tive provision, conditioned upon the
judgment of the governor. 1t is over and
above the usual receipts from taxes and
the regular appropriation of $4,000 each
year. 1t will bring the fund for the year
1905 up to about $4,000, as against $685.
1888 during 1904.
During the last session of the legisla-
ture there was a bill passed. approved
September g. 1903, providing that II there
was sufficient funds in the treasury on
October /. 1905, the governor should set
aside for the benefit of the old vetepans
the sum of 100000. He was to consult
the auditor and treasurer and If it was
thought wise to make the appropriation
give notice of such intention before Sep
TENDER 10, which the governor has done.
1t means that there will be a greatly In
creased amount for this worthy cause and
that many poor fellow who served his
state we'll will receive a neat sum to-
wards making him more comfortable.
convlcts Do Well.
From hints on the side, so to speak,
the report of the operations of the state
convict department for the year ending
August 81, will be one to give general
cause of satisfaction. The president of
the board said today that he was get
ting 1t in shape but could of course, tell
nothing of what he would have to say
until such time as it is given out by the
governor.
In many respects there will be a bet
ter showing than last year. though 1t
may be that there will not be so much
money made as at that time, or to be
more exact, not so much netted, for
tracts have brought about changes and
expenses that have not been yet realized
upon, but will be in due time. There is
much money tied up in the cotton mill
at Speigner which will not get out for
a few months and some of the new lum-
Der camp arrangements have to be
worked out
1t will be a matter of interest to ev-
cry southern state that the state is OPP
ploying a class of convicts that have
been an expense heretofore. Though only
In operation few weeks the mill has
made its own way, one hears, with a
neat little margin over all expenses OF
beginning work and subsequent opera
lions.

COMMISSION RULES
ON FREIGHT RATES
ST. LOUIS SOUTHWESTERN DE-
FENDS RATES BETWEEN MEN,
PHIs AND POINTS IN THE STATE
OF ARKANSAS.

Washington, August 29-The interstate
commerce commission today rendered a
decision In the proceeding entitled 'in
the matter of freight rates between Men,
phis and points in Arkansas" and correc-
ton of rates by the Memphis bureau, and
the st. Louis Southwestern Railroad COM
pany. The commission ruled that the de-
PENDANTS rates on cotton from local points
of Arkansas TO Memphis are not required
not to be reduced but 1t is directed that
the relation of cotton rates from such
points to Memphis and ST. Louis be
made uniform from particular stations.
The defendants rates from local points
to Memphis on traffic other than cot
ton, are not disturbed, but the defendants
promise to reconsider revision of its rates
to Memphis on live stock and cotton
seed
Rates from Memphis from points in
Arkansas, as compared with the Arkan-
sas commission mileage rates, including
those applying from Little Rock and Pine
Bluff, are held to constitute dscrimina-
ton for which it is doubtful whether the
defendants can be held responsible and
in that respect the compliments con-
tention Is not sustained. 1t is decided that
the defendants rates from Memphis to
local points in Arkansas are in many
instances unreasonably high and should
be reduced.
The defendant is required to submit
within thirty days a revised schedule and
put the same in force as provided by law.
The case is retained for such further or
der as may become necessary.

Chief of Police w. f. Wier made the

phrases presented Chief Walton with a
beautiful helmet and a rubber coat such
as the New York fire chiefs wear.
In making the presentation speech.
Chief Wier said that In his career as a
policeman he had often been called upon
to perform distasteful duties but that on
this occasion he had a most pleasant
duty to perform.

Chief Wier ito pay a tribute to a man
who by loyalty and fidelity to duty has
grown from a fireman to a captain, and
from captain to chief of the fire depart
ment. Chief Walton has won his place
by fidelity to duty and to honors he has
received have been we'll merited. On be-
half of Lucky Tent No 2, | present Chief
Walton with this helmet and this coat.
They are white and are embems of pur-
ity. and all we can ask of the chief is to
be true to his duty, as he has always
been, and to pick out the white emblem
when he fights the fire."
