We CLEANED this opinion from OBJ

watched them every day. For
days and days after their little

such morsels as they could steal
from the selfish bantams TO their

oak. AS the days passed by the

FRESHMAN HAS ARM
CAUGHT IN MACHINE
Fred Erhart, superintendent at the
Daily Union Plant, Suffers a
Painful Accident

Fred Ehrhart, 917 Eleventh street,
superintendent of the Daily Union
press room, was painfully injured last
night at $50 while engaged in running
out the regular edition of the paper.
Last night he was inspecting the press
and was poised on one foot. He lost
his balance and was thrown in toward
the whirling mechanism. His arm was
caught between the stripped ink roll
lers and the upper arm received a
compound fracture. The only injury
received below the elbow was a torn
finger nail. The attending physicians
hope to save the arm.
Mr.. Ehrhart has not fully recovered
from an injury which he received
few weeks ago while the Union was
being run out on The Argus press. At
that time hot metal was spilled on his
foot

Denied Writ OF Habeas Corpus for
Release from JaiI-IowaO officers
Have First Call on Him.

Judge Chetlain, in Chicago, yeste-.
day afternoon denied a writ of habeas
corpus for the release from the Cook
county Jail of H. N. Ordway. alias
Harry o. West, who is wanted in the
tri-cities and in various other sections
of the country for alleged bank swim
dies. The officials OF the. Iowa Ma
tional bank, in Davenport, one OF the
victims, have been hot on the trail of
Ordway and his allies, and have a
requisition from Governor Deneen In
the hands Of Davenport officers in Chi
cago ready to apply in bringing him
to the city on the other side of the
river where he will be prosecuted to
the limit of the law.
Ordway apparently has strong finan-
cial backing, as a determined fight By
several criminal lawyers has thus far
been made in his bef1a1r. Forgery Is
the charge that he has to answer to IN

probably before Ordway will be
brought to Davenport, as he is to be

Get $4,000 I'm One Year.
1t is alleged that in the past year
Ordway and his gang have secured up
wares of $4,000 from various banks
on forged paper. Ordway, the detec-
tives claim, was the directing head
of the crowd, and that he lived in a
lavishly furnished establishment in
structiops to his co-workers. 1t is
that Or6way N person passed
the forged check in Davenport, where
he obtained $500. He tried his game

COL. D. B. COOPER
IN BROTHERS WILL

The will of the late Judge w. f.
Cooper, who died recently in New York
City, was probated last week. The
estate is valued at 100000 and the
brother ofthe testator, Edmond Cooper,
is named as executor. Col. Duncan B.
Cooper together with five sisters and
two brothers, share in the residue Of
the estate, but the testator expressly
stated that "the share of my brother,
Duncan B. Cooper, is devised and be-
queathed to him in trust for the bene-
fit of himself and his family during his
life, and for the benefit of his wife and
children after his death, and then to go
to the children of the said Duncan b.
Cooper, and l will and devise that
neither the property nor the income
shall be liable for the debts of the said
Duncan B, Cooper existing at my death
or subsequently contracted" f"
Mr.. Cooper was bachelor and had
lived in New York since he gave up
active practice of law. lie was Yale

there was Alonzo Taft, father of Presi.

Applicants for Census Places.

But it would seem that no effort is
being made to induce citizens to apply
for permission TO serve their country
in the matter Of taking the census next
spring. One member of Congress from
Tennessee, Representative Garrett,
said the other day that twenty-five APP
plicants for the plsce of supervisor Of
his district had written him, and the
indications were that the number
would reach hundred. Another mem
ber, who shall be nameless, but he is a
Tennesean, said he did not believe
there was a man in his district who
would not be willing to accept super
visitors place, althoughit will pay only
$1,000, or something like that. He
based his opinion on the number of let
ters he had received from constituents,
asking for appointment.
Democratic members of Congress will
probably be allowed to name some Of
the supervisors, but the President has
not indicated what rule he will follow
in this regard, so that no Democratic
member of Congress knows as yet
whether he will be given opportunity
TO make an appointment.

THE OLD
GUARD
IN GRAY
IN MEMPHIS
THIS WEEK.
THE LAST TINE THE BOYS
Will Gather "by the Flow of The
Inland River" to Recall the
Drama of '61-65

They come with the ringing bugle,
And the deep drums mellow roar;
Till the soul is faint with longing
For the hands we clasp no more.
This will be the last time that the
Old Gray Guard will gather shy the
flow of the inland rivern to recall the
shadowy martial drama of forty-fonr
years ago, Mingled with the welcome
of Memphis will be a farewell to the
Remnant of the most gallant army
ever assembled under the banners of
the brave. Time has been kind to the
survivors of the great conflict; but year
by year they are drifting into silent
graves laying them down upon the
hills to the melancholy mufmur of the
pines or in the valleys where dwells
eternal peace,
Those who will foregather in Mem
phis this week will be ''few and faint
but fearless STILL" They will be but
the shadow of the great army that
fought for their home and for cause
to which they were willing to conse-
crate their lives. 1t were an idle task
to revive here the reasons why North
and South resorted to the arbitrament
of war. That Blue and Gray were both
sincere is not to be questioned. That
noble motives inspired them both is
not to be gainsaid. Looking backward
dispassionately through the years that
followed, the philosophical and unbias-
ed historian will probably conclude
that it was an inevitable conflict that
was needed to bind North and South
together with ties never to be snapped.
Although nearly half century has
elaped since the war between the states
was begun, we are till too near it to re-
gard it without passion or prejudice.
There are still wounds to be healed,
though every passing year draws the
men who did the fighting on both sides
closer together.
We ought to realize that the Confed
crate soldiers were the main factors in
j: the upbuilding of the despoiled and
harried South. These men proved
themselves as resolute in peace as they
were redoubtable in war; They have
distinguished themselves as merchants
as statesmen, as developers, as educa
and in all the learned professions
Memphis realizes that she cannot pay
these men too much honor; for after tht
!. war they were indeed the redeemers O
s the South.
u The coming of the veterans recalls
: many Of the dramatic episodes of thu
!. war. We see these men forty odd years
;. ago leaving their homes and bidding
boogbye to mother and sweetheart
fair-haired, bright-eyed youths, full o
hope and enthusiasm. We see then
d battling amid clouds, leaping bravel,
:. into the leaden storms from the en-
e emy's guns, performing feates o
l. matchless valor. We see them now il

sion beliefs and policies found q reward
in 1854 in his election as vice-president
on the ticket with Lincoln. Then fol-
lowed that tragedy at Ford's TheateA
and Johnson, like some character in a
highly colored romance, stepped into
the presidency. The pen of fiction
writer has never described anything
more extraordinary than this mans
career.
But fate was not yet done with him
though she had led him to this high
goal enmity was not yet dead, and
three years later we find him facing
the bar of the senate on an impeach-
ment charge. The constitution pro-
vides for such an emergency, but the
country has never duplicated that
scene And only one vote was lacking
to convict him.
Just before and during the war the
South distrusted and disliked him,
deeming him disloyal to his section
and after he was president the Repub
licans of his own party tried him, in
part, for his moderation toward the
defeated South. Thus was he ground
between the millstones of popular pre-
judice, Twice after his presidential
/
term he presented himself for public
oflice-fOr governor of Tennessee anC
for the United States senate--and twice
did the hand of popular disapprova
turn him down. Shortly before hi,
death he was, however, elected TO Tho
senate, Yet today he is acclaimed as
statesman, "a man among men," anC
it required extra trains to carry The
people from adjacent counties to Greene
vile to aid in strewing his grave with
flows, and to dedicate the Nationa
Cemetery named in his honor.
Truly, history needs to be written ii
perspective to soften the sharp angles
and tone down the lurid lights, tha
men may be judged by what they ac
complished, rather than by what they
intended. Commercial Appeal.

RULES HAVE
BEEN ADOPTED
SCHOOLS PLANS PROVIDED
Busy Session of State Board of Ed
ucation Held at the Capitol
High School Studies.

Plans for establishing the State
normal SCHOOLS provided for by the
general education bill were the princi-
pal subjects of consideration by the
State Board of Education yesterday
morning. The board met at IL o'clock
in the office of uperintendento of Public
instruction r. l.. Jones, all the men,
bers being present but Col. J. M.
Barker, of Bristol, who was detained
on account of the illness of his wife.
There were good mony matters of in
terest, but most of the session was de-
voted to the normal school proposition.
1t was finally decided that the board,
as a committee of the whole, visit the
places that have submitted bids for the
location of the schools and that the To-
cation be made strictly in accordance
with the law which provides "that the
board shall take into consideration ac-
feasibility, centralness of position,
healthfulness of location, cheapness Of
living, opportunities for arranging suit
able practice and observation schools
and the value and usefulness off offers
donations of grounds, buildings and
money!
This precludes the necessity of any
community sending delegation to
Nashville to appear before the Gov
ernor, or the board, and the board does
not desire any such procedure. But it
is desired that all communities submit
their bids by Aug. Is, the intention of
the board being TO make tour of the
state early in September, A commit
tee was appointed TO prescribe the regu-
lations governing specifically the action
Of the board in determining to location;
these regulations will be printed and
sent to the places submitting bids. The
places will also be uotified of the date
when the board will make its official
visit.--Nashyille American.
