TUpELo, MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY JANUARY s. 1906

For the past ten days the work
Of placing the Confederate mon
ument which was erected lin
honor of, and to the memory of
the Confederate Soldiers, by their
comrades, their sons and daugh-
ters," has been in progress un-
der the direction Of Mr.. Stinson,
the contractor, and on Tuesday
morning the figure of the private
Confederate soldier was placed
| in position, and the heavy der
ricks used in the work removed.
When all distractions were re-
moved the monument was pro-
nounced by everyone to be the
handsomest any where in the
state and fully up to the contract
and anticipation of all who have
eagerly waited it's coming.
The monument consists first of
five massive bases, the lower one
of which is eight feet and eight
inches in diameter. This is sur
mounted by a die, on the corners
of which are cannon columns.
The cap of the die is carved with
laurel wreaths in the corners,
and the top is finished with guns
and swords cut in full relief on
the front. This is surmounted by
a cap and spire eight feet high
with Confederate flag carved
on the east side, the whole being
surmounted by the figure of a
private soldier, seven feet, three
inches in height. The entire
monument is the product of the
Columbus Marble Works, of Co.
lumbus, Miss, except the figure,
which was cut by the company's
sculptor in Carrara, Italy. The
major portion of the monument
is made from the best grade of
white Georgia marble, which
was taken from the famous Ken
nesaw Mountains, Georgia. In
this connection it might be inter-
esting to note that this mountain
witnessed some of the hardest
struggles of the civil war, fought
by the boys in gray under the
intrepid Joseph E. johnson.

ate soldiers, by their Comrades,

happy when on Christmas Eve the ladies
distributed one hundred and twenty-five

YALE WORKING HARD
TO MEET BROWN

In a fierce and hard scrimmage yester-
day at New Haven, the varsity got away
with the scrubs. There was a coach be-
hind every one of the first string urging
on the players to supreme effort, and the
results seemed to please the Yale ex-
perts.
AS this has been the case for the past
fortnight. a lot of time was used building
I'D the work of the kickers, and they were
coached at lot yesterday in both punting
and drop kicking besides coming In for
work at place kicking. Double passes and
the forward pass were worked and other
forms of trickery tried to open out the
Yale attack and make II more versatile.
according to the plan at the early sea-
son stages.
Encouraging reports as to the recovery
of Roome, the big fullback, arc made. He
is now able TO walk a couple of miles in
the process of limbering up that stiff leg,
made so by a bad muscle strain. 1t Is
hoped that he may get into his togs for
a little light practice before the week ends
and that he may begin scrimmage work
early next week, although he will have
to be handled gingerly for a time. Tho
condition of most OF the string is now
satisfactory, and IL Is thought that with
the colder weather the slump period is at
an end for Yale. The Brown game is
looked upon in a more hopeful spirit than
at the first part OF the week at any rate.

BROWN At
BASKETBALL

The first OF the winter sports to get
under way at Brown this year will be
basketball Manager C. Fowler. Jr.. an
nounced yesterday that the candidates for
the team would be called out early next
week and the development of fast five
would begin at once.
Brown has a bright outlook in this
branch OF sport this season. Capt. Rey-
nolds. forward: Pryor, centre, and
Schwartz. guard are old stars of several
years standing and will be a tine nucleus
around which to build up a team.
There is also an abundance OF more
than average material from which to
draw for the other two positions. King, a
forward last year Dickinson and Tiff,
class team stars. and German, a varsity
man last winter are all possibilities.
Beginning next week the squad will
practice three times a week In Lyman
gymnasium until after the Christmas
holidays when the work will be in
creased.
Manager Fowler has prepared a very
, hard schedule and it is complete, with the
exception or the closing OF a date with

/ hopes OF landing the championship, as the
other teams arc not as strong as last

TIGERS ALL FREE
FROM INJURIES

Not a Tiger is on the sick list at pres
ent at Princeton. There was bunch OF
coaches on hand. to spur the men TO
snappy play. and the result was a fierce
scrimmage. Two halves lasting 20 and p
minutes, respectively. we're rushed
through with terrific speed. The husky
scrubs were worn down by the steady at
tacks OF Mccormick. Rulon Miller and
Harlan. The practice machine failed TO
retaliate in the scoring line.
In the first part OF the scrimmage tho
varsity covered an immense quantity of
ground and registered two touchdowns by
a steady rushing OF the ball. Harlan was
magnificent In his drop kicking yesterday
afternoon. The nervy little halfback
sent four clean goals over during the
scrimmage, and all came from difficult
angles.
Daub was used on the scrub at left
tackle as an experiment. on account OF

JOCKEY HENNESSY UNDER
HORSES H00FS in SPILL

Jockey Hennessy had narrow es-
cape from death at the Aqueduct track
yesterday. He was thrown out of the
saddle while riding DR.. Dix In the NTH
race and landed among the flying hoofs
of 10 horses. He was picked UP un-
conscious, and as he bled freely, many
OF the spectators thought he had been
killed. Fortunately he recovered his
senses and escaped with few bruises.
Two horses, DR.. Dix and Supreme, were
killed.
This race was replete with incidents
OF an unusual character. DR.. Dix was
caught In the flying wedge OF horses
soon after The start. AS he was in the
middle OF the field. he was crushed out
of his position. Just as Hennessy
pulled his mount out the jam DR.. Dix
Jumped on the hind legs of Supreme.
This caused the horse TO fall. Su-
premes hind tendons were so badly
severed that the horses leg was nearly

mile in this condition before Sewell

When DR.. Dix stumbled Hennessy

ground. The horse fell on the pros

The jockey was knocked unconscious
by the fall, and DR.. Dix cut a big hole
in his head. The pain -maddened thor
