CENTRAL AVENUE TO COLLEGE
AvENUE-oTHER MATTERS.

An appropriation of $1,000 to pay
the city's share in the improvements
of streets and alleys and sewers was
made last evening by suspending the
passage. A communication was re-
cefved from City Controller Parry. in
which he urged the ordinance be pass
ed as there was no money in the city
treasury to meet outstanding bills
against the city for such improve
ments At the time of preparing the
budget last fall only $1,000 was set
aside for this purpose. but the legis-
lature changed the law and made the
city's share in such improvements
greater.
An ordinance to change the name
of Central avenue or West Sixth
street to College avenue, coming up
on third reading. was passed unani-
mously.
Kick on Chuck Holes.
Numerous complaints concerning
chuck holes and bad conditions of the
streets were made to council. Chuck
holes were reported on North Sixth,
North Seventh, Fl. Wayne avenue,
North Third and North d streets.
The condition of West Fifth street be-
tween Richmond avenue and the Chi.
cago division of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, was reported by Councilmen
McMahan and Burdsall. The factories
which use this street are complaining
strenuously about it's condition.
Councilman Wettig complained OF
an untrimmed tree in front of 231
South Twelfth street Councilman
Brown referred to one on South Elev-
enth street. which was in the same
condition. Both complaints were turn
ed over to the chief of police.
The damaged condition of North
B street between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth street by the construction
of private sewer was referred to
the board.

10 b Commercial Appeal. Il
jackson, Miss, Oct. 4.-The members
OF the railroad commission assembfa6
early this morning and got down to the
accumulated executive business before
them. Commissioner Scott, from the
Third district, reached the city over
night, to find hartman Lee and Com
missioner Webb on hand. For varions
reasons, deemed good and sufficient. the
last two middle-of-the-month meetings
were pretermitted, there having been
only M meeting in August aud Sep
tember, and it is not considered prob
able that there will be any further pre-
~termissions for the present.
The meeting tomorrow IL that set
apart for hearing discussion on the
proposition to equalize the freight rates
on compressed cotton in the state. pur-
suant to the resolution of Chairman Lee
at the September meeting. That res
olution provided that all railroads on.
Grating in and through the state be cit
ed to appear at the FIRST meeting in Oc-
tober and show cause, If n they can,
why existing rates on such cotton as is
d from compress points should
not be "equalized by reduction a
Chairman Lees order specifies. This
will probably mean another round of
arguments and statistical quotations in
the senate chamber, which has been the
OF similar gatherings during the
past, when the somewhat circumscribed
area of the regular ef8ce was ~insufic-
lent to hold the crowds.
The annual reports Of two more rail-
roads we're filed with the commission
today, the Mobile d Ohio and the Mis-
sissippi Central, each Of which shows
an e Of revenues over operating
expense.
The report Of the Mobile & Ohio
shows that the earnings in Mississippi
for the year ending June 80, 1903,
amounted to S3,11a,681.9O 90, and the ex-
penses, $2,113, SOC. -, showing an excess
Of revenue v expenses of 81, OO3, $751;
68.
The annual report Of the Mississippi
Central, the entire line Of which is in
Mississippi, shows that the revenue for
the twelve months was 1851 ,957. "A
while the operating expenie was $424,-
~ 20 It seems quite . coincidence
that in each Of the two statements
above named the proportion of expense
revenue was practically the same, or

CHAPTER ~.
The Harness Of War.

4 breath of summer swept over
the land. giving promise OF wealth OF
bloom and prodigality Of harvest; but
the plow stood idle and rusted in the
waiting fields, the meadows went un.
shorn, Aad the crops. In which lay the
riches Of peace. implanted. Every
where was the growing din Of an.
archy and the stern clangol Of war. A
people who had never tamely bowed
q head beneath q yoke, nor rebelled
at just ruling. found themselves dis
traught in the whirling current Of un.
reasonable tides which carried them
out to they knew not what.
A tame yielding of territory over
which their flag had once flown, an
equally passive surrender Of islands
which had come to them Of their own
voltion, seeking in the spread Of the
eagles wings the shadows of security,
and, last Of all, as a croWning climaA
of folly, the sending Of warships to
neutral ports! From east to west, as
the oceans rum from the border line
Of the north to that Of the south, there
swept over the great waiting nation q
call to arms. No dam built by mortal
man could have stemmed that rising
tide of indignation save the one that
was erected by the administration in
the hours of its stress. News Of IL
came unheralded as had all the
ominous stories preceding 1t.
ot ho VuhA~
throw Of the governing power at
Washington seemed imminent, there
flashed across the wires from gov.
ernor to governor the quick and in
sistent demand for fighting men. In
every armory was heard the resound-
sand men. drilled for the emergencies
Of = country's need, sprang to their
weapons like tensely strung warriors
Of old awaiting the pretor's command
to charge. A country, which through
days of defeat had seemingly slept,
sprang into the harness of strife, as II
electrified by the God Of Battles. Sim
ultaneously with the ordering out
Of all National Guardsmen and =
further call for volunteers, which re-.
ceived instant response, every railway
traversing the country was requisi-
toned by the war department.
Yet, in all this turmoil the destina-
ton of this suddenly mobilized and
sp]endidly powerful army remained q
secret. In vain the press of the coun-
try and it's most influential citizens da
manded knowledge. but not til! the
