TOO MUCH BOOZE
 CAUSES AN ARREST
TWO MEN ARE ARRESTED AT CO., LUMBUS WHO ARE CHARGED ON A TRAIN.

Columbus, Miss, July 2.-(Special)- IA telegram from Special Agent Ames of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company with headquarters at Tuscaloosa, to officers in this city this morning, requested that two white men be arrested upon the arrival of passenger train No. 24 on the Mobile and Ohio which reaches Columbus al 10:3O a. m. Officers met the train and the con- ductor pointed out the two men. They were taken to the city prison. The tele- gram stated that the two men were charged with carrying concealed weapins, disorderly conduct and using profane lan- guage#
 The men were interviewed this after noon and gave their names as Charles Johnson and Tom Horton. Both claim 70 live on a plantation nine miles west of Starl<ville, Miss. The men claim they did not have enough money to pay their way from Gordo to Artesia, and they admit | that a row with the conductor followed, They claim justification because he would not ride them without fare. They say | they left Starkvile yesterday morning and spent last night at Gordo, a small | station between Columbus and Tusca- l loosa.
 Gordo is wet town and they supplied | themselves bounteously with the goods
 before they left. They had it both in- wardly and on the outside as well. A 1 pistol was found on Johnson. Special l Agent Ames will carry them back to Ala | bama tomorrow. They are willing to go without requisition papers
 The men appear to be about B years old and appear to be well to do, and l both seem fairly well educated.

The Burden of Feeble-Mindedness.

Charities and The Commons.
 A study of S03 families. selected because of ble-mindedness in one or more gem eratior S, has been made from records in the office of the Indiana board of state charities These families consist of SO4S members, of whom 1864, or 55 per cent, are feeble-minded. It has not been pos sible to learn the parentage of every one of these persons, but counting only those of whose parents we have some informa- ton, 1t was found that of 174S, or 57.3 per cent one or the other and frequently both of the parents were feeble minded or aG- hicted with some related physical defect. Included in these S03 families are 312 fam flies in which -mindedness was found in two or more generations. In this group there are 1643 individuals, of whom 57 per cent are Predetermined and COG per cent are either mentally or phy sically defective. In the first generation. including 59 men and women who married into the families and became the parents of later generations, number I54, or whom 531 or 70.4 per cent, are defective. The entire number of descendants, extending into the fifth generation and including 1d men and women who married into the families, is 1O19 and among them are C2l defectives This indicates inherited defect in 612 per cent of the descendants of these 312 feeble-minded parents. This record is doubtless nothing more than typical or what can be gathered by care. in oths~ states It shows one of the most potential destructive factors in our civilizations; one of the most terrible forces acting against society; a fact we have to face, con dition to meet, a power -nIt must b' kept under.

The Fitness of Things.

From the New York Times.
 The locksmith had been sent around by order of the board of education, to in spect the locks of tho teachers desks. He shook his head dlsapprovingly as he pointed out to q teacher who was look ing on how easily the lock could be pick ed with almost any little instrument, such as a penknife, hairpan or a but ton hook
 "The locks don't amount to much, ma Q am," he remarked, "and that's the truth. But, then, what could you expect when they're made by the convlcts in the pris- sons? Them felers ain't makin' locks that are hard to open"

 Another House Nearby.

Huntsville July 21.-(Specal)-Judge Oscar R. Hundley has handed down an opinion in the matter of the bankruptcy case of the Queen Canning company of Carbon Hill This was an application by the creditors of the bankrupt firm .o retaX the bill of costs rendered so as to exclude therefrom certain witness fees charged up against the estate of the bankrupt amounting to $195. These wit ness fees were claimed by the stockhold- CTS and officers of the Queen Canning company as fees, who attended on the trial of the case at Birmingham in the federal court, involving the trial of the question as to whether the canning com pany should be adjudged bankrupt
 The witnesses being stockholders and officers of the company, Judge Hundley holds that they stand in the same rela- tion as an ordinary bankrupt in sueh eases and that their examination was q part of the procedure allowed in bank ruptcy cases for the examination of the bankrupt, and that, therefore they were not entitled to receive fees as ordinary witnesses.

REV. ORR'S RESIGNATION IS AC- GIFTED WITH REGRET BY PRESBYTERIAN CoNGREGA- TON AT ENSLEY.

Ensley, July 21.-(Special.)- )-lnas- much as the proposed inferior court continues to be much discussed, it has been suggested that the Commercial club take the matter up and investi- gate it's provisions, not in any way from a political standpoint, but purely in a business and commercial sense. Petitions and counter petitions have been circulated, which have a tendency to confuse the citizens, and as the pro- fessional and business interests are involved, 1t is suggested that the presi- dent of the Commercial club have tn e judiciary committee investigate the pro- posed bill and make report.
 At the congregational meeting of tn First Presbyterian church, held this morning, the resignation of Rev. J. W. Orr was accepted. MT. Bert Simpson presided over the meeting. MT. Orr in q few well chosen words, formally ten dered his resignation and on motion of MT. James Liddell, seconded by MT. Kilgore it was accepted.
 MT. Liddell in a short address spoke feelingly of the cordial relations that existed between the church members and MT. orr and wished him every suc- cess in his new field.
 The resignation of MT. Orr will come before the presbytery of North Ala bama. which meets in Birmingham to- morrow at Ii o'clock. for final action.

 Three guhernatorial candidates, Scott, Noel and Truly will address the citizens of Jackson next week, but on separate occasions Jackson has been literally sup piled with campaign thunder in the Way of speeches and literature during the past several months, but so far the above named candidates have never given Jack son an opportunity to hear them. They all have a great many friends and advo- cates here, and no doubt fine audiences will greet them. Mir. Scott was born and raised in Jackson, and among the older class of citizens is a prime favorite in the running.
 The Kings Daughters report that they made just $3O632 on what they callei "Tag Day." and return thanks to the public generally for generous treatment The ladies had charge of the street cars as conductors, and each conductor was armed with q quantity of cardboard tags, which were sold to all who desired their souls to be saved at a minimum price or 9 cents each.

Lightning played a dangerous and all most fatal prank in the homes of J. w. Delp and Roy Landers in this city Sat urday afternoon. A bolt struck the chim- ney of MT. Landers' home, and descending itno the sitting rom, struck his little daughter Elise, tearing nearly all aer clothes from her body and leaving her un- conscious. Numerous articles of furni- ture in the room were demolished, and then the bolt jumped to the home of Mir. Delp. MT. Delp's little daughter was also almost denuded and left unconscious. After hitting several articles in the room the bolt struck the chandelier and fol- lowed the gas pipe into the earth. Both Mrs. Landers and Mrs. Delp were badly shocked but neither was seriously hurt.

A Mammoth Sale.

Frank A. Cram Is adhering to his
regular custom of conducting his an
nual strawberry harvest sale at this
time, and the tremendous slaughter
in prices in the various departments
of the store is now on. The volumn
of business that he has done during
the progress of the sale Is astonishing.
lie has converted thousnds of dollars
worth of seasonable goods into cash.
This is Just as we predicted.
There are two essential factors nee
essary to successful disposition of
goods. First, judicious and liberal
advertising. Mr.. Cram came to the
Glacier Office and contracted tor a
two full page ad. This announcement
of the sale was given the widest cir
culation possible, and as every body
reads the Glacier the news was soon
spread abroad. Thus liberal advertis-
ing in the most popular local paper
il destined to give results.
The second factor necessary for the
disposition of goods, is that you must
have the real values to offer. There
is so much of the inferior and shoddy
on the market that the average per
son usually regards the announcement
of n sale OF this character, as an ef-
fort to get rid of lot of poor and
trashy goods. So much ot hypocrisy
has crept into the methods of adver-
tisipg that the average person has
vely little faith in the truths of the
advertisement. However, in the case
of the strawberry harvest sale, con-
Quoted by MIR. Cram, we can truth
fully say that it is a bona fda deal
Hundreds of pleased customers who
visit this emporium daily can verify
our statements.
Good goods and liberal advertising
in the Glacier is bound to bring H.
napcial harvest to the firm that
dares to make the venture.

City Takes Initiative.

The city of Hood River will soon
have a law suit on its hands unless it
repents of its previous action. There
seams to be some dispute as to the
city surveys on the heights In refer
ence to the main thoroughtare.
1t appears that several different
surveyors have been employed at
different times to survey the lots pur-
chased by the business men Of that
section, and each surveyor has iun
his line a little at variance with the
other fellows.
Acting upon the surveys as made,
the merchants proceeded to erect
their store buildings, and the result
Of the matter is that the alignment OF
the business houses along the main
street on the heights looks as though

the town. The houses are zigzag
