SEEK DEAD SOLDIER.
Unknown Confederate Referred to
May be Tennessean.

Jackson, Tenn, March 21. "A letter
from d. II. Harts, Of Lincoln, ILL.,, late
Captain OF Company G, Tooth Illinois
Infantry, to Chief OF Police 7. G. Gas
ton, suggesting that search be made
for the grave OF an unknown soldier
killed in a skirmish near bridge Is
miles south Of Jackson on the Mobile
& Ohio Railroad on the night Of De-
'cember 20, 1862, which was reported in
The Commercial Appeal, may result in
the location of the remains OF the body
of the father Of Hon. J. A. Coble,
prominent merchant and manufacturer
and former Mayor OF Union City, Tenn.
Mr.. Coble read the report in The
Commercial Appeal and wrote to Chief
OF Police CASTOR giving facts concern
ing the death Of his father which seem
to confirm his belief and hope that the
soldiers grave is that OF his father who,
it is believed, was killed near the point
described on the date given.
Mr.. Coble is wealthy man and he
indicates in his letter that he will leave
nothing undone by which he might es-
tablish the identity Of this unmarked
grave, which possibly is that Of his
father.
Capt. T. M. Gates, a prominent Con-
federate veteran, said to-day that the
veterans Of Madison County will gladly
join in search for the grave OF their
comrade, and whether the identity Of
the soldier is established or not they
hope to find the remains in order that
they may be properly inferred.
Mr.. Coble expresses his appreciation
to Chief CASTOR and The Commercial
Appeal for giving the matter publicity
and says in part:
II am convinced almost beyond a
loubt that the Confederate soldier re-
erred TO was my father, who served in
Zen. Forests cavalry in command Of
Jol. N. N. Cox, Tenth Tennessee Regi-
nent. 1t is well authenticated that he
vas sent on the night Of December 10,
1862, with small detachment to de-
troy bridge over the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad. not far from Henderson, that
hey dismounted near the. approach Of
trestle, hitched their horses in rag
inc, and after walking short distance
long the railroad they were attacked
y what they supposed to be Federal
ickets. Being surprised, and only a
sw in number, they retreated in con-
ision.

FAVOR OF UNIVERSITY.
Declares Bishops Have No Visit
orial Rights.


Result OF decision is that board Of
trust will have the right to elect mem
bers of the board in the future subject
to ratification Of the general conference
-complainants' bill dismissed with
costs.
Unanimous opinion Of State s highest
tribunal was delivered by special Judge
Turner in presence Of court room crowd
ed by distinguished and interested spec
tators as follows:
We therefore conclude that the re-
lators, Messrs. Harris, Godby and Biggs,
are not entitled to membership in the
board OF trust; that the defendants.
Waller, Robbins and Jackson, are en-
titled to such membership, subject to
the action of the general conference or
its general board Of education, to whom
it has committed the duty OF confirming
or rejecting the members elected by the
board, and that they are entitled to act
as such members until such times as
they may be rejected by that conference
or board. Since their election has not
been so rejected, they can not be ousted
under this proceeding from their seats
in the board of trust. 1t results, there
fore, that the Chancellor decree will be
reversed and the complainant's bill will
be dismissed at their costs. Let decree
be drawn accordingly"
After Mr.. Vanderbilt had endowed
the university, and the board, by means
OF his gifts, had established it, the
bishops seem to be ready and willing to
adopt the enterprise. All parties seemed
to be in doubt about the relation they
bore to the institution. They assumed
and exercised very uncertain and fitful
rights and privileges. After time the
board rescinded that action and elected
five OF their number to active member
ship. Not until after the so-called Van
derbilt commission had reported that
they had no right to membership in the
board, but that they held the right Of
visitation, we're they heard to claim
such right, or did they attempt tosex-.
ercise it, and this was nearly forty years
after the charter was granted to the
university, and after they had, in the
outset declined all official relations to
the corporation. Ii there had ever been
any merit in the claim, we think they
had long since abandonded it, and were
then estopped to assert it.
Then, so far as money was con-
cerned, it was Mr.. Vanderbilt, and not
the church, who breathed the breath Of
life into this corporate body, if not dead,
at least, until then, inert and powerless.
Hence, on this issue we find that Mr..
and not the annual con-
terences, nor the church, was the found
Or and original patron Of this institu-
ton.
Cornelius Vanderbilt gave the origi-
nal endowment Of million dollars, and
other members OF the family subse-
luently added another million, partly
% pay expenses, but chiefly to add to
he general endowment, and this en-
iowment has provided the blood, bones,
ind sinews Of this body corporate, prop
,rly and justly called, after his first gift.

Some effective road work being
done with grading machinery in and
about town. The one thing however
which keeps it from being more eff
fective and more permanent is the fact
that not enough attention is paid to
drainage. In many instances it is i'm
possible to do this without a certain
amount of engineering work. For in
stance the naked eye can not always
tell whether the bitches would drain
the average amount of water that it
would be expected to carry and the
water may be forced across the road
and thus destroy the work. The dam

ADV ANCE GUARD ARRIVE
PINE BLUFF YESTERDAY

Little Rock, June 1.-THE advance
guard of Arkansas politicians journey
ed to Pine Bluff Sunday afternoon to
open headquarters for the contestants
in the Senatorial squabble before the
State Democratic Convention which
convenes Wednesday. Senator James
p. Clarke and Judge VIM. f. Kirby
went to Pine Bluff today, Senator
Clarke to personally take command
of his headquarters at the Hotel JEFF
ferson, while Judge Kirby will be with
his followers at the Hotel Pines. r.
p. Allen and Frank Kitchens of Helena
who were in charge of Clarke head
quaters before the primary, will be in
charge of Clarke headquarters at
Pine Bluff and Judge Kirby will have
on hand his old advisers, Smead Pow
ell, Frank and Troy Pace, Judge Car
ter of Texarkana, and Wallace Davis.
The rank and file of Arkansas poll
ticians has been rolling into Little
Rock all day, and will go on to Pine
Bluff on each train bound for that
Arkansas river port.
Neither Senator Clarke nor Judge
Kirby will discuss the temporary or
permanent organization of the con-
vention but it is evident that both are
working to secure control of both or
CARNATIONS il possible. Senator
Clarke states that it is not customary
TO complete the organization of a
convention until all forces are on the
ground, and he viii not lay any plans
until the preliminary meeting held
Tuesday.
Senator Joe. T. Robinson arrived
from Washington Saturday and will
be one of the active agents in the con-
vention. He is a Clarke supporter.
There have been a number of re-
ports sent out that j. C. Floyd will not
attend the convention, but close
friends assert this is a mistake and
that he will he on hand to accept the
permanent Craftsmanship of the con-
vention if it is rendered to him.
Several delegations will go to Pine
Bluff on special trains, among them
being the delegates from Phillips and
Lee counties, and the friends of Judge
Kirby from TeXarkana.
Many Counties will present two de-
Legations and the convention must de-
eide which is entitled to a seat. 1t is
claimed that in many of these coun-
ties the county convention was not
legally held, and for that reason an
effort will be made to throw them out

JACOB RISS.

There is no doubt that the name of
Iocob Kiss will go down in history
as one of the greatest humanitarians
that ever lived. 1t is said that when
be landed in this country he knew
qittle Latin and less Greek" and no
English at all. He had $4,000, and
nroceeded to spend half of this sum to
buy a navy revolver with which to
kill Indians and desperadoes. He en-
countered neither in his march west
ward The fact was soon forced on
his attention that he would have to
do something to make living and he
was thus brought into the field which
taught him by eXperince that Indians
and desperadoes were not the greatest
enemies of mankind. Vice and injus-
tee were the monsters to be feared.
Kiss was pre-eminiently qualified by
the gentle qualities of his mind and
soul for warfare on these great enc
mics of human progress.
The great power which Jacob Kiss
exercised in his day was not due to his
Intellectual ability, although this was
great enough to have made him ia
nous had it not been for his great
strength as a humanitarian. His pow
er came from his sincere convictions
and strong sympathies for the poor
and unfortunate portion of humanity.
1t is usually true of those who rise
from the plain of poverty that they
loose in their rise their sympathy for
those they left behind This was dis
tincty untrue of Jacob Kiss. Instead
Of loosing his sympathy, his rise
seemed 30 strengthen his feeling of
fellowship to those who were the COM
panions Of his early poverty In this
his life win be a distinct example to
all people Of what charity means.
Where there is a will there is a
way. For instance when asked whe-
Their or not he would have settled the
strike law or no law, Col. Roosevelt
Enthusiastically replied that he had
found law and would have settled it.
That is the difference between him and
the fellow who looks about for rea-
son to do something for the public
good When a man really does not
want to 10 something he can always
prove that it can't be done, or that
there is no law for it. If he wants
to do it bad enough and there is a
reason for it and it is worth doing,
there vii. always be way discovered,
Where there is a will there is a way.
