CAUSES MUCH GOSSIP.
Prof. Thomas Prints a Caustic Card
 In the Marion Standard.

Marion, September 22.-(Special )-Con- siderable gossip has been created In Ma rion by the publication of letter in the Standard this week over the sigma ture of D. w. Thomas. Professor Thomas was the professor of English in the Ma rion Military institute last session, and had been employed for this session, which began little over a week ago. He states in his card that he has been peremptorfly and summarily discharged from the insti- ute without cause or reason, so far as he knows or can ascertain.
 That the assistant superintendent sim ply notified him that his services were no longer needed, and when the reason was demanded he stated "the institute never game any reason for it's actions;" that "the dismission is business propo- sition.
 MT. Thomas says he was ordered to re- move his effects from the institute at once which he did. He says he holds a contract with the institute for the ses- sion now begun, and has employed at torneys and will sue for his salary, and also for damages. Since the publication appeared in the Standard the matter is being generally discussed by our towns people. The concensus of opinion Is that there must have been a cause for this action on the part of the institute other than cold business, and inasmueh as the matter is being aired in the newspapers the institute officials will no doubt give the public their side of the matter on which they have thus far kept silent.
 Professor Thomas was educated at the University of Michigan. At the close of the last session of the Marion Military institute he taught summer school at Meridian. He Is a young man and there has not been the slightest pNsonal charge against him so far as the public knows, and the fact that he was retaNled by the institute for another session has given the subject of his dismissal a wide scope of discussion.
 The Judson institute opened its sixty eighth session yesterday. President W. J. E. Cox of Mobile delivered very able and appropriate address to the school. A special train was run to Marion to handle the students. Something over 200 have al- ready matriculated. and Dr. Patrick, the president now thinks the number will reach near 300 the present session.

 Miss.-Other Selma
 News.
SADLER IS KILLED

Selma, September A(Special )-There is likely to be sensational developments m military circles emanating from Selma soon The trouble seems to arise over the Monday morning articles of late written by Maj. w. b. Mclver in a Montgomery paper, Major McIver being the chief clerk in the office of the adjutant general and the latter having charge of the holding of the election of colonel in the Second regiment.
 In a recent letter Ma or MeIver de- clared that in the election for colonel which was declared off recently Golorel Graves received a majority of the votes cast, although the votes were returned unopened to the company commanoers. An officer of the Abbott Rifles stated to The Age-Herald representative today that at a forthcoming meeting Of his com pany 1t was proposed to register a pro- test to the governor as to the alleged conduct of the chief clerk to the adjutant. The Selma officers are strong for the elec- ton of Lieut.-Col. c. R. Bricken as com mander of the Second regiment, and they do not relish the evident leaning toward McIver of the adjutant generals chief clerk.
 Killed By Switch Engine.
 A telegram was received this morning by Mrs. B. B. Sadler announcing the death of her son, Lonnie, in Artesia, Miss, from being run over by a switch engine. The young man was at work as switchman for the Mobile and Ohio raii- way at Artesia. About a month ago ne had his foot mashed by a car and came to his former home to remain until he recovered. He went back to work last Monday, and last night while switching in the yard at Artesia, he met llis death beneath the iron wheels. He WIS only 21 years of age, and his death came as a great shock to his parents and loved ones. The remains reached the city to- night and the funeral will take place to-. morrow morning.

It is simply a business proposition, that's all.
 We are not only going to move, but are forced to vacate our present store, 1909 Second avenue. before our new huild- ing at 2O17 First avenue Is ready for oc- cupancy, so it is case of close out "our entire stock 1t a sacrifice" in the next few days or sustain a loss in damaged pianos and the expense of storage.
 Being unable to secure temporary or suitable storage quarters until our new store is completed, you can see the im- portance of closing out stock at once. and you may be assured that the pianos are being taken quickly.
 Many people may not know that our store consists of three floors. and when this sale was inaugurated we were mo- tified to vacate building on short notice 1t was filled to the brim," as 1t were, with pianos, organs, square pianos, etc., so, dear reader you can easily under stand why we marked all this stock in plain figures, even regardless of cost and why we are making at this time ex- traordinary reductions on all pianos, in order to close them out before we have to move

Just as we were about to leave the

we heard a terrific crashing through
the bushes and trees. Three elephants

took our positions behind the trees.
A herd OF thirty animals was upon
