To Muster Out Negro Soldiers.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 29.-Con-
gress will be urged by the war depart
ment to repeal the law which directs
the secretary of war to enlist four
negro regiments in the army. There
Is a measure now pending in the house
for mastering out the negro soldiers.
and many officers of the army would
be pleased should this become a law.3
The negro soldiers have made muchl
trouble in the army, they say, and
recent disturbances at Brownsville. |
Fort Leavenworth, Ell Reno and in
other sections of the country have |
led to the conclusion by many army
officials that negroes should be dis
missed from the army. Brawls among
the negroes are frequent. There is a
strong sentiment among the southern
members of congress to favor the mus
tering out of these troops, but it is
believed the pending measure will not
be adopted until after a bitter fight.

MAY BE READY
IN ANOTHER MONTH.

The Presbyterian church calendar
for tomorrow will say:
1--WE may review today the work of
the year.. The contract called for the
completion of our new Sunday school
room by October 1. We hope it may
be done by February 1. The contract
has not been let for basement or audi
torium. One furnace, enough for the
present, is now being set up, and the
large chimney is completed. If the
Sunday school room were done now it
could be used for preaching without
difficulty, but for lack of accommoda.
lions for the primary it could not be
used for Sunday school, so the future
awaits the completion OF the basement
of the new church. The committee
would be very glad to know what the
church wishes. Give them your ad'

The popularity of dates in January
as to turning over office from the out

them. Justice Grant, who is ex oficio
judge of the police court, will make
his regular December report of both
offices on Monday. AS he does not
retire from Office until the first Mon
day in January, which occurs ID week
later, he will be compelled to make a
supplemental report covering the ex-

board of county commissioners will
not meet until the first Monday in
January, the old board having a week
in which to wind up its affairs.
