 Prnttville Chapter.
 The city of Prattville assembled to pay homage to the memory of Admiral Raphael semmes. The auditorium of the Y. M. c. A. was appropriately de- corated; and designs of naval warfare were intermingied with the flowers.
 At the appointed hour the president Mrs. W. T. Northinston called the meeting to order when the following program was rendered.
 "America was sung by the entire audience after which prayer was of- fered.
 "A Leaf from the life of Raphael Semmes" was given in a most instruc- tive manner by Mrs. Mary Mims.
 Next came the recitation Raphael Semmes" by one of the younger pupils of the Academy. Mary Virginia Cum mings, which was nicely rendered.
 Then "A Home by the Sea" was sung by Mrs. W. g. Fair, which eiicited much applause. The orator chosen for the occasion Hon H. s. Dostsr was called away and could not deliver his address A tribute to Admiral Scmmes by his daughter, was read in a clear and forceful manner by Mrs. J. A. Pratt. Dixie was then sung which closed the exercises.
 Thus another page, in the work of the United Daughtes had been written so that down the coming years. caught from history's page, and wreathed with immortalles. gleaming from afar, and brilliant as the rainbow's crimson bars, this great naval commander will stand as a peoples pride. Nations glory.

give us Siignt concern; Dut eacn one has distinct influence on the eliminative members of the body, and prevents the proper removal of the impurities from the system. This refuse remains in the stomach and bowels, and souring, forms uric acid, which is quickly absorbed into the blood.
 Then the circulation becomes weak and sour. the corpuscles, which ordinarily furnish nutri- ment to the body, are saturated with the uric acid, which they deposit into the muscles, nerves, bones and joints. This causes soreness and inflammation, and brings on the pains and aches of Rheumatism. No longer does the blood nourish every ligament of the body with healthful proper ties, but constantly the briny, in flammatory circulation distributes the uratic impurity throughout the system. and Rhe una tism

This high and difficult letter to the Ephesians (which was meant by the writer to be read in the other cities where he had established churches)-- has one recurring theme-the mystical union of the Christian believer with Christ. That is further reach or mystlcisn than ever Buddhism dares. It writes down Christianity as assen. tialIy spiritual befSre 1t is practical. Disciples of this res Way are expect' ed to do more than join church or accept a creed or follow certain prac- tices: they are to partake of the very life of their Master. being united to him in bonds closer and more real than those of wedlock. No longer does the Christian live his own life: there is mysterious and inexplicable interhow of the very life of the Redeemer through the whole nature of the dis ciple. Thus Paul cried. For to me to live is Christ" Again. he declared, T have been crucifed with Christ; and 1t is no longer I that live. but Christ live eth in me"

GRAIN.

Chicago, March 1.-After all the ear ly break and excitement in the wheat trade, May closed only sc under the last prices Saturday. July did even better. It was natural that holders made an effort today to prevent losses in wheat bought around top prices late last week. Altogether several million bushels were thrown on the market here during the first half hour. Around S1.16 the May received support from the bull leaders. The market steadied quickly and had a fair recovery. The tone was a confident one at the close
 with the losses slight, considering the feeling at the opening. The visible supply decreased 1,775,O00 bushels in view of the fact that cash wheat is selling fast. The May price was up to Sc premium in this market and selling at even higher prices in the southwestern market, with mills pay ing stiff premium for wheat to arrive in the northwest Operations in May wheat here cannot well be claimed as corner, or even extreme manipula- ton. We believe in caution in trad ing on May wheat at tnz< ievel, but the fast decreasing supplies in all quarters and very doubtful winter crop prospects will justify even higher

MARKET REPORT
 BY PRIVATE WIRES

New York, March 1.-Sentiment was much improved over SunGay anG the firmer tone of the London market, to- gether with the reports to the effect that price reductions on steel products would not be as drastic as first ex- pected caused replacement of part of the lines liquidated on the recent re- cession, and the shorts bid for stocks freely causing sharp advances in va rious speculations. The firm tone of the metal issues, particularly the steel and smelter, on reports to the effect that large sales of copper metal were made last week around 12% cents, did much toward stimulating confidence in the industrial issues. Taken as a whole, however, it is thought that the advance in the market is in the effect of discounting the advent of the new administration. Although a great many disagree. able doctors have been eliminating during the last few weeks much of the feverishness that is likely to occur around March 4th. Slight ir- regularity prevailed in the last half hour and the same will perhaps be continued in the early trading tomor- row. We are inclined to look for a comparatively steady market for the next few days.

CHORUS GIRL SHOT
BY CONVICT MATE
AT WASHINGTON
SUICIDE FOLLOWS AN ATTEMPT
AT WIFE MURDER AT UN-
ION STATION.
WILLIAM H. SHORT ENDS HIS LIFE
Woman Refused to Quit The Stage,
Lover is Enraged And Shoots Her
in the Back And Then Turns Gun
on Himself With Fatal Effect.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Enraged
because his chorus girl-wife preferred
life on the stage to his companion
ship. William H. Short, of New York
City, Sunday shot and perhaps fatally
wounded her at the Union Station here
and then sent a bullet crashing
through his temple. He died an hour
later at the Casualty Hospital.
The tragedy, which followed Sc
ries of quarrels between the couple,
created a sensation among the large
crowds at the station. Mrs Short had
just alighted from a cab, which was
also occupied by her husband and her
girl friend, and was hurrying to catch
train for Pittsburg, when Short,
without warning, whipped a revolver
from his pocket and fired three bull
lets into his wife's back.
The woman, who now lies near
death in the Casualty Hospital, is
known on the stage as Evelyn Howard
and played in Washington last week
with the Motor Girl company. She
was formerly Evelyn Lewis, of Jack
sonville, Fla, and married Short, who
is native of Livingston, Ala, about
seven years ago. They lived in New
York, where he was employed as a
bookkeeper in a bank, but soon after
their marriage, the man got into the
clutches of the law through alleged
Interpretations of funds. Mrs. Short
told the police when she regained con-
seriousness at the hospital, and served
term in Sing Sing. Through sheer
necessity, Mrs. Short said, she drifted
to the stage as a means of livelihood.
Short recently was pardoned from
prison. Mrs. Short said, and began a
new start in life. He importuned his
wife to return to him, but she de-
clined. and he followed her here.
Reaching this city Friday afternoon
Short registered under an assumed
name at the hotel where his wife was
stopping. He endeavored to persuade
his wife to quit the stage and return
| to New York with him.
Mrs. Short persisted that she had
| won her right to her own indepen-
dence, and again refused. Accom-
panied by Miss Maude Caldwell, an
other member of the company, she
left the hotel Sunday morning for the
station. She vainly tried to elude her
husband, but the latter followed and
told her he would plead with her again
to turn from the stage. When they
reached the station Short made his
final entreaty, and when he was again
rebuffed, the tragedy ensued

TOWNS HISTORY
ALL RECORDS BEING SMASHED
AT THE LOCAL
OFFICE.
SEPTEMBER Blu INESS LiRdE
Much Cement Coming in For Use on
The Streets-Whole Train Loads
Arrive-corn is Moving-A Great
Year.

/ II heavy freight traffic is an indica-
tion of prosperity, Maury county is
now in the throes of such good times
as come only once or twice in the
memory of man. According to the
statement of one of the local railroad
officials the receipts of the Columbia
Office for September were more than
81 900 in excess of those of the same
month last year, and are the biggest
in the history of the town.
Local freight, of course, plays an
important part in the amount of traf-
fic handled by the railroads, but the
car lot shipments are also unusually
heavy. Cement, wheat and corn are
the principal imports, while shelled
corn, -four and oats are the principal
exports.
The laying of sidewalks has caused
heavy local demand for cement, and
as consequence the railroads are
showing a healthy balance on the ton
mage side of their ledgers. The prod
uct is coming in by whole train loads,
and is being consumed about as rap
idly as it is received. The popularity
of cement for building purposes is also
responsible for some of the activity
at the freight office. Large quantities
of wheat and corn are being shipped
in by the local mills, and much shelled
corn, -four and other cereals and
cereal products is being shipped out.
AS a milling center Columbia stands
we'll to the front, and the reputation
of the local plants extends over al
most the entire South. The demand
for cars is so heavy that the mills
have to place orders for more than
week in advance, the L. & N. having
issued orders that none of its cars
shall be used off the line.
On account of the shortage of the
Maury county corn crop, there will be
but little corn shipped out of the coun-
| ty. However, there will be great
deal shipped in, and much of it will
be consumed locally. A part of the
corn shipped here will be ground into
meal and exported, and some of 1t
will be shelled, sacked and sent South
to supply the demand in the cotton
countries.
Taken all in all this year is ban
ner one from a business standpoint

tors.
The first special bequest is that the
executors purchase homes for his
three nieces, Imogene S. Mosler, An
ME L. Mitchell and Elenora Tracey, TO
cost $4,000 each. There was be-
quest for $4,000 statute to Gen. Rob
ert e. Lee in Overton Park, but this
was revoked in a codicil. The sum OF
$4,000 is left to provide for a monu-
ment to the old Tennessee brigade OF
the Confederate army which served
under Gen. Bushrod Johnson, to whom
Col snowden was chief of staff,
which is TO be erected at Chickamau-
pa park. The sum of $4,000 is to be
given to st. Mary's Cathedral for the
erection of a memorial to Mrs. Annie
oyerton Brinkley, his wife's mother.
The will also provides that the sum
of $4,000 shall be expended for a mon
ument in the lot wherever his body is
buried.
