COMMEMORATIONOF OF
 SOULS OF FAITHFUL
IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY AT ST.
 BERNARD MONASTERY NEAR PULLMAN SUNDAY AND YES- TERDAY-PRivlLEGE GRANTED

St. Bernard, November 2-(Special)-- The commemoration of the souls of the faithful departed was duly observed at St. Bernard yesterday and today. Sunday afternoon the vespers of the dead were chanted by the monks and thereafter the student body and community repaired in solemn procession to the cemetery where the customary ritual was carried out. While at the cemetery the Rev. P. Robert delivered a strong and forceful sermon on purgatory, proving its existence from reason and from Scripture. Today a sol emn high mass of requiem was sung in the monastery chapel by the Very Rev. P. Prior. and another in the college chapel by the Rev. P. Benedict.
 A most singular privilege was conferred upon the Benedictne order and through 1t upon all the faithful, by a decree of the sacred congregation of indulgences in Rome February 27 1907. November ?, on which day the commemoration of All Souls is devoutly kept, the faithful can gain a plenary indulgence as often as they visit Benedictne church, after having confessed and communicated, they offer up the usual prayers according to the intention of the Holy Father.
 To this privilege another and greater was added, making it possible on easy conditions for all the faithful to gain this indulgence in their own parish churches. The decree continues in sub stance as follows: Moreover in the place of the so-called portiuncula indulgence, which was in good faith thought to be at tached to the jubilee medal of St. Bene- dict as following from authentic docu- ments, the faithful. who habitually carry this Gubilee) medal. can hereby gain this other indulgence granted on the above mentioned day, by visiting any church or public oratory and performing the other pious works already named if, for reasons of ill health, monastic enclosure or the greatness of the distance Cat least one Roman mile), a church or oratory of St. Benedict cannot be reached.
 This great privilege was granted to the Benedictine order because the custom of setting. day aside for the commemora- tlon of the faithful departed originated from the Benedlctine monks in 99S. who were under St. Odilo, the Benedictine ab bot of Cluny in France On that day all the monks under him had to recite the office of the dead and such of them as were priests to offer up the holy sacrifice of the mass for the poor souls From these monasteries, 65 in number and scattered nearly throughout the whole of Europe this solemn commemoration of All Souls gradually found its way to the church at large.

Annston, November 2.-(Special)-The rolling mill department of the Western Steel Car and Foundry company, which has been closed several months on account of the industrial depression, resumed operation this morning.

ANTREY IS CAPTURED

Selma, November 2-(SpeciaL 1.-The well-known repertoire actresses, "The Payton Sisters who arrived in Selma yesterday to play weeks engagement beginning tonight are having more than their share of distressing incidences Sat urday morning a week ago their father, Senter Payton, died in this city at the Hotel Albert. The company was playing an engagement in Mobile at the time and one of the young ladies reached this city shortly before her father died.
 The remains were met in Montgomery by Henry Payton, a brother of the de- ceased, age about 42 years, and with the wife ana daughter accompanied them to Centreville, Ia. The Misses Payton and company upon reaching Selma yesterday, found a telegram from the mother of the former, who had remained in Centre vile, la, stating that Henry Payton had been struck by a Rock Island train Saturday afternoon and that death had resulted Sunday afternoon.
 Captured In Mississippi.
 Information reached Selma today of the
 
 jail at Linden of a young white man by the name of Autrey who about two years ago, in conjunction with his brother, robbed his old uncle of several hundred dollars. The brother was cap tured and tried and sent to the penten- tiary The authorities have been on the lookout for the one that escaped and To- cated him in Hattiesburg few days ago. Acquisition papers were secured and the young man is now in the Linden jail awaiting the action of the grand jury.
 Selmian Suing for Big Amount.
 Considerable interest prevails here over the suit instituted in Atlanta against H. M. Atkinson, president of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway, by L. P. Pairo, formerly of this city. MT. Pairo was master of trains and at one time su- perintendent of this division of the South ern. He is suing Atkinson for s1,0O0,0O0, claiming that he was employed with Att kinson in putting through the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic deal. and was to receive half of the profits. The allega- tion is that $2,000, GOO has been made The first bill called for only $200,00O but it was amended so as to make the amount $1. 100000. MT. Atkinson denies ever hav- ing entered into any agreement to share the profits with MT. Pairo. The case will likely be a long drawn out one.
 Social and Personal.
 Mrs. J. E. Wilkinson. who is spending a few months in Greensboro, awaiting the completion of her new home in this city, was here on a visit yesterday.
 On the eve of election little interest is manifested here. The fate of the amend ments to the constitution is unknown. The Overton amendment will hardly re- ceive a majority of votes in Dallas nor will the biennial sessions amendment. The new county amendment will likely carry by a small majority. This is the con- sensus of opinion of practically all who make a habit of sizing up the political situation in Dallas.

It is neatly printed and at tractive sheet. on handsome paper and a splendid sample of the artistic output of the Paragon Press of this city It is interesting in this connection, also, that Mrs. DeCottes Is succeeded on The Ad- vertiser by Mrs. Thomas M Owen, one of the best known women in Southern literary circles.

Montgomery. November 2.-(Special) ) Gen. William ". Brandon. who is just back from a speech making trip through Nebraska, says that things look good for the election of Mir Bryan and that he is sure to carry Nebraska Colorado and Missouri, about which doubt has been expressed in the recent past. Ohio, New York and Indiana he believes will be for Bryan, though he is willing to admit that there is doubt about them.
 General Brandon says that the en- thusiasm for Bryan was q marvellous thing to him. At every stop, while he was with the nominee the jam was so great it was hard to get near him. The people seemed to be wild for him and he was given an ovation all the time. The west" he says, shows conclu- sively that it is for the most part with Bryan. We can expect victory tomor- row if the New York reports are true in their general tendency and If In diana and Ohio do their share, as is expected of them" General Brandon further said: Bryan is the most thor oughly democratic man I ever saw. He Is at home in every condition"

The City of the Rosebush
An Unfortunate Refugee
Continued from page s

a NOIHER refugee from justice was less for
tunate. This was pretty, high spirited
girl who served as attendant in the shop of
cloth merchant in the marketplace. 1t hap
pened one day that her former lover who had
Tilted her heartlessly. came into the shop with
insulting air and asked for something he
wished to buy. Her anger at his effrontery
was so great that she passionately seized
knife from the table before her and struck him
a blow that laid him dead at her feet.
'Ah. girlH' cried her master, fastening
toward her and pushing her to the door. what
have you done? Get you to the Freiheit at
once, else YOU are child of death'
No one stood in her way, for she was beloved
by all: and thus she reached the Kreuzfreiheit
unframed. There she rushed into the first
house she found, and was kindly received by
the family living in it. They gave her home
with them and in the end, when her industry
and amiabiity won the heart of the son, his
father willingly consented to their marriage.
She lived to be an old woman in this house of
the Freiheit, which she never left, and had
children and grandchildren
One summer day as she was sitting in the
door with two of her young grandchildren, she
saw heavily loaded wagon bearing directly
down on one of the children that had eluded
her and ran into the middle of the street The
frightened grandmother sprang forward and
saved the little one; but it's life meant her
death for she was obliged to cross the street,
and thus left the bounds to which she was re-
striCted. She was arrested, and expiated the
crime of her youth on the block.
