For his information and others who
may hold similar views, I will state
that under the new calendar there
will be just one Sabbath week. the

will have a far greater Significance
than our present day Sabbath.

FLOWERS City. Is there any way
by which cut flowers may be preserved Tor
number OF days as a table ornament?
The following is given as method
of preserving such:
Place vase containing the cut
flowers in the center of a. fat dish. into
which a little water has Abeen poured,
invert bell glass over the vase, so
that the rim of the glass is covered by
the water, thus forming an alright
chamber. The air surrounding the
flowers will be constantly moist and
will remain so as long as the supply
of the water is undiminished. Violets
may be preserved for long time by
sticking them with short stems into a
glass dish filled with damp silver sand
and then inverting clear glass tum-
bier over them.

cation now being he'd in Jackson over

Sheriff Ed. Callahan last Monday when
he was wounded so badly that his life
was at first despaired of.
II is said that those under arrest viii
be able TO prove that the attempt on
the life Of the noted fuedist was made
by his own son. Wilson Callahan.
Evidence Of this nature was presented
TO the special grand jury Saturday, it
being claimed by several OF the wi
nesses before the body that Callahan
and his son had frequent quarTeis re-
Gently and that the day before the
shooting the father and son came to
blows
II is the claim Of the anti-Callahan
faction that Ed Callahan was destined
10 go Ike his former chief, Judge Jim
Hargis. by the hand Of his own son,
and that there is nothing In the testi-
mony given TO the grand jury TO show
that there was any plot existing among
members of the Smith and Deaton fac
tions to assa ssinate Callahan.
Further hearing OF testimony will be
had by the grand jury on Monday and

NEW BATTLESHIP
STRIKES BOTTOM
Michigan Badly Damaged
When 1t Runs Aground
Of Cape Cod.

Word was received today by the Bu-
reau of Navigation Of the Navy Depart
ment that the new battleship Michigan, /,
now completing her trial tests, had run
aground off Cape Cod, and so injured
her propeller blades before she was
fioated that it may be necessary for her
to go to dry dock for repairs before she
can be accepted by the Government.
Rear Admiral Thomas c. Mclean,
president of the Board of Inspection and
Survey, who is on board the Michigan.
representing the Navy Department. re-
porred the accident officially, but gave
no details excepting that the vessel had
heen fioated with the high tide, and that
her propeller blades were damaged.
what other injuries may have been suf-
fered have not been ascertained. and
viii not be known until the bottom Of
the vessel is examined.
1t is believed that the vessel struck
bottom shortly after the four hour high
speed test at sea presumably while
anchorage. The Michigan Is still in the
hands Of the New York Ship Building
Company, prior to her &C ceptance ey
the Government.
DESPITE her injury, Il was said at the
Navy Department today that the ship
might undertake her twenty-four hour
speed trial without waiting for repairs,
although It is believed that a bent pro-
peller blade would cause considerable
vibration, especially when she steamed
at high speed.
The Michigan. the last one Of the new
battleships to be accepted by the gov
ernment before the Florida and Utah,
is a sister ship of the South Carolina,
each being $500 tons displacement. Her
record, unofficially given as 20.1 knots
