the Growing lniquity of the
Nisht Riders

Union City. Tenn. Dec f2e.-When

until Monday the state mad nearly
completed its case against the eight
alleged night riders now on trial for
the murder of Captain Rankin. To-
morrow it viii put Frank Fehringer
on the stand He says he was present
when the murder was committed and
knows the name of every man that
was present After that the STATE VII
merely I'LL in corroborative temtimony.
Colonel TayIor's Grim Story
The first witness yesterday was
Col r. T. Taylor. who was the COM
panion of Capt Quentin Runkin on
the night Of the murder Of Rankin.
Taylor is So years old. a veteran of the
Confederate army and wealthy man.
He is tall, erect and soldierly. wears
a gray beard neatly trimmed and does
not show his age.
Col. Taylor was awakened at the
hotel the night of the murder by
Wards cali and the same instant a
rear window of the room was raised.
Two guns were thrust in, followed by
two black masked heads. The night
riders separated Taylor from Rankin
and Taylor did not see Rankin from
the time they left their room until he
saw him murdered. They told Tay-
Tor they proposed TO kill him. When
the night riders reached a forked ash
tree in the bank of the slough they
halted Taylor and marched Rankin to
the foot Of the tree. The rope was
adjusted and thrown over the fork
and then some night rider said: Give
him time to pray"
Rankin's Terrible Death
Il have attended to that" was RAN
kin's quiet reply Some of the mask
ed band seized the rope and drew
Rankin up. The tree was inclined a
trifie and they raised the body until
the toes scarcely touched the ground.
From the lips of the swaying figure
came the muffled appeal, You are
choking me. gentlemen; pray. you to
let me down" Then one OF the rid
ers fired shot into the body of Ran
kin even as he pleaded for his life
Instantly a fusillade came. most of

air. Taylor turned TO his captors and
said: 1 am tired gentlemen; let me
sit down.
He crouched to his knees, ready to
spring He waited until the guns
were empty, then when the firing
stopped he jumped into the waters Of
the slough. Instantly the firing was
renewed. Taylor dived. but heard the
bullets striking the water. He SWAN
under the water to big log. The bull
lets struck the log like hail, but grad
ually they ceases. For two hours he
lay in the water. grasping the log and
when all sounds had ceased he swan
TO the opposite side and took to the
woods. He hid in the canebrake until
Wednesday when thirst drove him out
and into the arms of friends.

Took Kindly to the Water.

They tell this story Of the experience
of two Maine boys in trying to catch
q woodchuck:
They had tried quite number Of
times to capture the animal, but un-
successfully. At last they decided to
drown him out; SO, procuring four
pals, each took two, and they carried
water for two solid hours and poured
1t into the hole in the ground in which
the said chuck had taken up his abode.
Getting tired, they sat down. After
about half an hour the woodchuck
cautiously left the hole and deliberate
ly walked down to the brook and took
a long drink of water and then scooted,
much to the disgust Of the two boys.

going on in the gymnasium
A genuine college Circus" villa be
held in the college gymnasium on
March 7th. The ten different socie-
ties will participate and music will be
furnished by Mr.. Putnam's college
band 1t is the intention of those who
have charge of the show to make it
equal to the circuses held at the larg-
er institutions. Prof. Arnold has
charge and a good time is guaranteed
to everyone who attends. Chariot
races, foot races and clown acts of
all kinds will be in evidence.
Prof. Thompson, assistant in the de-
partment of chemistry, has rendered
his resignation and will probably leave
at the end of the June term. Every
one who has met Prof. Thompson at
the college will be genuinely sorry to
see him leave. His genial good humor
and pleasant ways have endeared him
to students and faculty alike. AS a
chemist he was an extremely valuable
man for the college, and no doubt
Professor Ladd will feel the loss of
Mr. Thompson very much. Mr.. Thorn,
son becomes chief chemist for the
Delaware experiment station.
At the last regular meeting Of the
college board of trustees definite ac,
ton was taken whereby department.
of education was established. The
object of the new department will be
to unity and enlarge the pedagogical
courses now offered and to give GER
tain amount of pedagogical training in
the regular college courses with the
view Of fitting graduates to fill posi-.
lions as high school teachers. Prof
Arland d. Weeks, who leaves the Eng.
fish department, was elected head OF
the new department.

A STRANGE PAGEANT.
Annual March Of Mohammed Hans to tho
Tomb Of Moses.

Tomb Of Moses. s
One of the strangest Of all the pag-
eants which are to be seen in Jerusa-
lem is the annual march Of the Mo-
hammedans to the tomb Of Moses. To
them, as we'll as to Christians and
Jews, Moses is prophet of the high
est honor. But, rejecting the traditions
of the Hebrews, they refuse to believe
that he was buried in a valley in the
land Of Moab, as Is described in the
last chapter Of Deuteronomy. Instead
they assert that he was buried where
he breathed his last, upon the summit
Of Mount Nebo.
Therefore each year at the time Of
the Greek Easter the faithful gather
by thousands in the early morning be-
fore the site of the temple of Solomon
in perfect silence waiting for day
break. Later the strange scene of quiet
is entirely transformed. fanatics dane
ing and preaching. hordes Of dervishes
whirling about in mysterious tsacred"
dances and hundreds of exhorters rous-
ing the enthusiasm Of their fellows.
The scene is gaudy with hundreds Of
red and green banners, and the only
semblance of order Is in the semiregu-
lar organizations of marchers.t ~
At last the procession forms, with
the banners borne ahead. an imam
bearing the yataghan Of the prophet
short, straight edged sword used by
the armies Of Northumberland after
them more dancers and marchers.
A large part Of the population Of Je.
rusalem gathers about the gate, out of
which the procession moves toward
the Mount Of Olives, but few besides

in the ranks of marchers, since death
has often been the penalty Of an at.

this march to "Nebi- Mouca," the ''tomh

er the first excitement fanaticism
yields to good humor, and games and
banter fill the time for those who
have paid their duties at the tomb.
The mosque on Nebo is one of the
most sacred Of Mohammedan shrines
and one Of the most difficult for q
Christian to approach.
An English traveller who brought an
order from the porte was denied ad.
mittance, and, although In recent years
it has become possible to enter, 1t is
too early vet to forget the experience
of one traveller who came bearing an
order Of admittance from the sultan
himself.

Positions for two new faculty mem

department of English. These posi-
tions will be filled at the beginning Of
the fall term. It is hoped that with
these additions there will be instruc

ditions have been made to the teach
ing force nearly every year since the
institution was started. Last year
six new members were added and
the year before three or four were
added to the teaching force.
The faculty is busy at the present
time in reviewing the courses and pre-
pairing the new catalog for the years
1908 and 1909. The domestic science
course will be greatly strengthened
and graduates from it will be able to
begin the freshman course in the reg.

The general science course will be
changed slightly and the course in
civil engineering will be strengthen
ed. The aim is to have all the cour.
