Noel and Scott Unfurl

An amusing story illustrative of the
friendly feeling that prevails among
the six candidates for governor is go.
ing the rounds and is vouched for by
the two gentlemen involved in the
| incident.
A few days since Hon. Charles Scott
and Hon. E. F. Noel had an appoint
ment for the same day at little town
on the Mobile and Ohio road north Of
Meridian, and in order to reach the
place they had to travel in q train
reaching the village about three
O'Clock in the morning. The two
gubernatorial aspirants, both tired and
sleepy, alighted at the depot and wend.
ed their way to the solitary tavern a
short distance from the depot, where
they encountered an equally sleepy
proprietor who informed them he had
only one vacant room in the house,
and that had just been deserted by a
travelling man who departed on the
same train on which the gubernatorial
aspirants arrived.
It's the best / can do, fellows. ;"
said the proprietor, who, either
through lack of interest in political
matters, or the dimness of the light
furnished by a smoky kerosene lamp,
did not recognize his distinguished
guests.
How about it, Ed?' asked Mr..
Scott.
All right with me, Charley, cheer
fully responded the gentleman from
Holmes. I've slept with worse fell
lows during my lifetime"
The proprietor led the way to the
room, and the two candidates for
governor tumbled into bed still warm
from the heat of an unknown body,
without waiting for a change of sheets
and within few minutes were off in
the realms of slumharland

INDIANS FUNDS INvIoLATE.
Treaty Money Must Not BE Used to
Support SectarIan schools.

Justice Gould in the suit Of Reuben
Quick Bear, Ralph Eaglefeather Charles
Talkett. and other members Of the
Sioux tribe OF Indians against the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, yester-
day handed down a decision in which he
holds that the treaty funds of Indians
cannot be applied 20 the support Of see
tartan schools. The judge will sign an IN
junction restraining the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs from paying 10 the Blu
reaa of Catholic Indian Missions the sum
of $1,000 on contract for the support,
care. and maintenance of 80 Indian pu-
pills at the St. Francis Mission school
