and confessed his shortage, naming
as his accomplices certain brokers
in whose shops he had lost the mon
ey, it was alleged through specu-
lation. Chisolm had $4,000 in cash
on his person when arrested, which
was delivered to the bank authorit-
les. 1t is understood that the alleg-
ed accomplices named by ChisoIm
will be arrested.
Chisolm is under thirty years of
age, and is a son of Col Robert CHS
ohm, special attorney for the United

NOT AN APPLICANT.
Hon. A. A. Kincannon is Not An APP
plicant for Chance1lorship of
the State University.

Recent press dispatches regarding
the vacant chancellorship of the Mis-
sissippi State University have been
misleading, as to read them one
would infer that Hon. a. a. Kincan-
non, president of the Industrial In
| stitute and College, was an applicant
for the position, one dispatch going
so far as to state that he was sure
of election, and that Prof. J. W. Bell
would probably succeed him as pres
ident of the local institution. When
his attention was called to this dis
patch, Mr.. Kincannon said
When, upon the resignation of
Hon. r. B. Fulton as chancellor of
the University the press of the State
mentioned me as his probable sue
cessor, l stated to The Dispatch that
] would not be an applicant for the
position, and since that time [ have
not altered my decision. For the
past threee weeks | have, been in New
York on business connected with the
/. |. & c. Lyceum course, and have
given out no interview or written
no letters Regarding the vacant chan
cellorship. | have never been an ap-
plicant for the chancellorship, nor
has the position been rendered me,
so it is absurd to connect my name
with it,
''As far as the Industrial Institute
and College is concerned continued
Mr.. Kincannon. you may say that
the institution was never in a more
prosperous condition. We have re-
ceived larger number of applica-
tions this year than ever before, and
the number of students next session
will be limited only by our dormi-
tory accommodations. All the i'm
provements provided for by the leg
islature at its recent session are we'll
under way, and we will open next
way to be the most profitable session
in the history of the institution
Friends of the college, not only
in Columbus, but throughout the
State, are very glad that Mr. Kin
cannon is to remain in his present
position. Under his able guidance
the school has attained a most en-
viable position, and is recognized as
one of the leading girls colleges of
the South. Mr.. Kincannon is in a
large manner responsible for the
great success of the college, and the
fact that he is to remain at the helm
is a source of satisfaction to all who
have the best interests of the insti-
tuition at heart.

Rev. Quincy Ewing to Return TO
louisiana

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 13.-The
Rev. Quincy Ewing. who figured in
the Episcopal church row which caus-
ed such a sensation in Alabama, will
tender his resignation as pastor of
the Church of the Advent this week
to accept a cali in Napoleonville, La,
where he formerly lived.
When the Rev. Mr.. Ewing came
to Birmingham from Greenville, Mis-
sissippi, Bishop Beckwith of the
Alabama diocese refused to accept
his clearance documents, claiming
that the Greenville rector had per-
formed a marriage ceremony at
Vicksburg, where one of the parties
had been divorced. The controversy
incident to this became unusually
bitter, and strained relations have
existed in the church since.

The Cotton Market.

The weekly report on the condi-

ceived at the office of Mr.. w. F.
Leigh yesterday, states that the rain
fall throughout the cotton belt has
been general. While the rainfall has
not yet been heavy enough to cause
any great damage, it is certain that
a continued precipitation will have a
decidedly i'll effect upon the plant.
causing a too prolific growth of the
stalk, as well as subjecting it to

GOOD ATTRACTIONS
WILL APPEAR IN THE LYCEI-M
COURSE AT INDUSTRIAL IN
STITUTE AND COLLEGE
DURING SESSION.
The Course Will Include the Worlds
Greatest Artists - MIR. Kim
cannon has just Returned
from New York City.

Hon. A. A. Kincannon, president
of the Industrial Institute and Col
| lege, has returned from New York.
where he went for the purpose of se-
curing attractions for the College
! Lyceum Course during the coming
season, and is very enthusiastic re-
garding the prospects, So many
great musical attractions have ap-
peared here under the auspices of
the college during the past few years
that Columbus has become famous
as a musical center, and the artists
who have visited us in the past have
been so cordially received that they
all want TO come back.
When in New York Mr.. Kiucannon
visited the offices of Loudan G. Chart
ton, r. e. Johnston and other noted
managers who handle the world s.
greatest artists, and while in Mr..
Johnston's Office that gentleman re-
lated an incident which serves to
illustrate the high regard in which
Columbus is held the leading mu-
sicians of the world. II seems that
special recital which was given re-
Gently in Boston, Paderewski. the
worlds greatest pianist. Nordica.
the worlds greatest soprano. and
Ysaye, the worlds greatest violiuist,
appeared as soloists. At the close
of the concert the three great artists
were seated at a table discussing the
art of music, when Ysaye asked Pad
erewski TO name the city in which
he had been most enthusiastically re-
ceived, and Paderewski Immediately
replied, Columbus, Mississippi" and
went on to state that the people of
| Columbus were among the most re-
fined and the most highly cultivated
whom he had ever appeared before.
Madame Nordica. who has also vis-
tied Columbus, agreed with Pade-
rewski, and Ysaye Immediately be-
came interested. He began to make
| inquiries about Columbus. and was
so much pleased with the informa-
tion CLEANED from both the artists
and their managers that he has ex-
pressed a desire to come here There
is a certain amount of vanity about
all great artists, and Ysaye seems TO
feel just little bit piqued that while
several of his contemporaries have
been invited to play at the Industrial
Institute and College. a similar honor
has never been bestowed upon him
When President Kincannon heard
this he decided to extend Ysaye an
invitation to come TO Columbus, and
the great violinist will probably BE-
heard next season
Now that the reputation of Colum-
bus as musical center has been so
firmly established, attractions can bs
secured without difficulty, and dur
ing the coming season a number OF
the best that come South will visit
us. Not only will some OF the worlds
greatest soloists be heard AT the col
lege, but the list of attractions offer
ed will include one or two OF The
great bands. The Lyceum course
will be the most expensive ever offer
ed, while the extra attractions. which
will probably include Ysaye and 9th
er equally well-known artists. viii
make the season the most brilliant
in the history OF Columbus.

COLUMBUS MISSISSIPPI THURSDAY AUGUST
Monteagle Notes.

Unlike Rip Van Wrinkle, who upon
awakening from sleep of twenty
years found everything changed in
Hudson, after an absence of nearly
decade one finds comparatively few
changes at Monteagle. 1t is true
that there have been many improve
ing a new railway station and a new
auditorium, both of which have been
erected within the past few years.
Among the visitors, however, the
changes have been few, for Mont
eagle furnishes so many delightful
pleasures and the climate is SO rest
ful and invigorating that the same
people visit the place summer after
summer for rest and recreation.
In the years that have passed Col
umbus has always sent a large dele
CATION to the great resort on the
summit of the Cumberland, and the
number this summer is perhaps lar
ger than ever before.
Mrs. H. l.. Williams, former Col
umbian who now resides in Stark
Vile, has leased this summer Ma
pie Terrace one of the largest and
most centrally located cottages on
the assembly grounds, and the house
is filled with Columbus people, who
lodge with Mrs. Williams and take
their meals with Mrs. Short, who has
a boarding house near by. Besides,
there are quite number of Column
bians who have rented cottages and
who are doing light housekeeping.
No matter where one goes on the
grounds, familiar faces are met
among the Colum bians who have Wis
tied the mountain this season being
Miss NJ. A. Williams, Mrs. Henrietta
Harris, Miss Agnes Craddock, Mrs.
E. B. Miller, Miss Bessie Miller, Mrs.

Fannie Cady, Nellie Kemp, Mr.. and
Mrs, A. H. Pegues and children, Mr.
and Mrs. H. Osborne, Miss Adele
Leigh, Mr. Jim Leigh, Mrs. K. c..
Belts, and Miss Alyda Carr.
The program this season has been
very good. Senator Carmack deliv-
cred a lecture last week, and T. c..
DeLeon, the blind poet from Mobile,
spoke at the auditorium last Friday
night. Another recent contributor
to- the program was Rev. Dunbar H.
ogden, who was for a number of
years pastor of the First Presbyterian
church in this city, and who is now
stationed at Knoxville, Tenn. Mr..
and during his stay. there delivered
an address at the auditorium.
Miss Fannie Cady, of Columbus,
has been honored by a request to
pose for photograph which is to be
entered for the prize which is an
nually awarded by the National Pho
tOgraphers' Association. Mr.. Judd
Chattanooga photographer. has
studio at Monteagle, and selected the
fair young Columbian as the model
for the photograph that he is to en-
ter in the contest. Considering the
fact that there are so many pretty
young ladies summering at Mont
eagle, the selection of Miss Cady is
indeed an honor, and goes to show
that the beauty of Columbus girls
is recognized abroad as we'll as at
home.
Mrs. Daniel Cushing, a former Col
mmbian who is now a resident of Ell

Following is the report of Secretary J. B. Babb for the past year; MT. President and Members of the Com
 mercial club:
 The financial report of the club for twelve months, from May 1, 1905, to May 1, 1906, shows a gratifying increase in the collection of dues but a decrease in the amount of rents collected. The increase in the collection of duesR Is, of course attributable to the increase in member ship. The decrease in the amount of rents is due to the change in the headquarters of the club. In our present quarters we have no office space for rent We should be able, however, to rent the hall for as- sembly purposes, and I trust the mem- bers of the club will assist me in making known the advantages the club offers for the meeting place of organizations The following is financial report of the year:
