WAS IT ACCIDENTAL!
PRIVATE W J. LYEM FATALLY
WOUNDED YBSTBBDAY.
Kia Two Tent Mateo Are Mow Under
Arrest-Other Items of Interest
Fromjamp.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
Private Win. J. Linn, Co. M, Capt.
Hodgee, was shot in the head with a
38 caliber bullet, the ball entering
just above the left eye pawing
through and coming out in the top of
the bead. «
Linn and a bum companion claim**
ing La Croat, Wis., as their home, en
titled in Capt. Hodges’ company some
time ago and have been very good
soldiers.
Yesterday they, with their other
tent mate, were having a sociable game
of cards, but it is claimed had aban
doned the sport and were lounging in
their tent when the camp was aroused
by the report of a pistol and all rush
ed to Co. M’s street to find Ptivate
Linn lying upon the floor of bis tent
with the blood oozing from two boles
ic hie head.
When asked if it was an accident
Linn eaid yes Yet two men swore
they saw the shooting and that Linn’s
murdered him.
Conflicting statements given in be
fore Col. Candler caused the arrest of
both Linn’s tent mates who were
placed in the guard bouse with or
ders to be kept there until released
by Col. Candler.
Linn’s condition is considered se
rious and hardly a shadow of hope is
entertained for bis recovery.
Little news of interest to 'be public
is now to be obtained at Camp North
en. The regular daily drills and occa
sionally a long march, with the other
routine work, is the same each day.
The men are now discussing the
probability of going to Jacksonville.
All confess they are wt aloes to under
stand the actions of the war depart
ment The regiment was ordered two
weeks ago to report to General Lee at
Jacksonville, and since that day nu*
merous other orders have been issued
which keep thinge.in a constant state
of uncertainty.
Wednesday afternoon the regiment
went on a ten mile march and most of
the men were feeling the effects of it
yesterday and remained within their
tents except when .duty called them
away.
This was one of the longest marches
they have yet taken. Some few drop
ped out who were put in the ambulance
wagon and carried to camp
The enlisted men of Co. L presented
Lieut. Col. Berner with a very hand
some and costly sword yesterday af
ternoon. This company is mostly
from Forsyth, Col. Berner’s home, and
this beautiful gift was an acknowl
edgement of their esteem of him, their
former first lieutenant The company
was lined up in their street in the
presence of Col. Berner when First
Sergeant Wm. T. Bracken, in a very
neat way presented the sword which
was received-by Col. Berner in the
most appreciative manner.
The sword is very beautifully en**
graved and on one side in large letters
is “To Lietrt» Col. Robert L Berner,”
while on the other side is “From the
enlisted men of Co L, 3rd Inf’t., U. 8.
Ga. Vols."
Col. Berner is justly proud of this
remembrance from the men whom he
served so long in the state militia and
who are now in his battalion.
The hospital seems to be well filled
at present. Some ars confined for
slight illness while others are of se
rious nature and are causing uneasi
ness among the attendants.

GEMKRAL MILES ILL.
Secretary Alter Preuaring to Come
South and Inspect Camps
Washington, Sept. 15 —General
Miles is confined to his bod with lever
resulting in part from the work and
exposure of bis recent campaigns.
The general has been ailing for
some days, and although he came to
army headquarters for two hoots yes
terday, there was already some evi
dence of fever. Today the fever symp
toms were rather more marked, and
the physician who was called it* in
sisted upon the general’s remaining
in bed.
Colonel Hecker, of the staff of Sec
retary Alger, returned today from
Detroit, where be accompanied the
secretary on his recent trip west.
He says the secretary was accorded
a mftst co'dial reception by hie towns
people, those who' know him best.
Colonel Hecker dismisses rather con
temptuously the reports that the
secretary would resign.
ThedatiSr is enjoying a rest prepar
atory to his start next Sunday on a
visit to the southern camps. He ex
pects to return to Washington on
September 27
How to Muster Soldiers Out.
Au army officer tells how the sol
diers are mustired out:
When the orders come to muster
out a company a muster roll ie made.
Thia contain* tbe names of men,where
enlisted, the accoutrement they pos
sess belonging to tbe government and
much other data of this kind.
Tbe men are then called up singly
to be examined by tbe surgeon. II
nothing is the matter with them the
statement that they are healthy is en*
tered opposite their names, so making
it impossible for them to secure a
pension, This was not done in tbe
last war and many pensions were
drawn when they should not have
bad any money at all.
If, on tbe other band, any physical
disability contracted in tbe service is
found the man is entitled to a pension.
After this physical examination is
over the pay roll is examined and the
full smount due the soldier is handed
over. He is then held accountable
for all property (excepting shoes, un
derclothing and uniform) turned over
to him by the government and if any
thing is missing he is compelled to
pay for it. If the soldier desires to
keep his gun, knapsack or any other
ol his accoutrements he is given tbe
privilege to do so if he pays tbe amount
these cost tbe government.
After all of this has been gone
through with the men are put under a
special < fficer and given transportation
to whatever point the enlistment oc
curred. Here they are dismissed and
allowed to go where they please.
In case a man is disbonorsbly dis
charged he is left to his own resources,
and no transportation is furnished.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If tbe liver ie inactive, you
have a bilious look; if your stomach
is disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys are affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters’* is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acta directly

complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.

MUSIC FROM HEAVEN. ’’
duunwlnc Geraum Matbed of luuwaias
Church Wonhlpen.
While religious music will doubtless
live as long as religion itself theruis
one branch of it—if music it can be
called—which is luckily becoming ob
solete I refer to bells and chimes. I
shall never forget the look of distress
with which a famous organist once said
to me that whenever he heard a set of
chimes he wished he could put his ears
in his pocket.
• In these days at *1 nickel watches
bells are no longer needed to inform
people when the service begins. They
are, moreover, a decided nuisance, and
often a dangerous one, for they have
killed many invalids whose life depend
ed upon a few hours’ sleep, which the
bells murdered. In New York bell ring
ing has been frequently stopped on ac
count of complaints to the board of
health.
If it seems desirable to have a means
of summoning worshipers to church,
why not adopt the delightful old custom
that is still observed in some south Ger
man villages and in the city of Stutt
gart? There four trombone players as
cend a church tower three times a day
and play a solemn chorale.
In all my musical experience I have
never beard anything more thrilling
than those majestic harmonies in the
air, which seemed to come straight
from heaven. If our churches would
adopt this custom and these celestial
sounds became associated with religious
experiences, they might arouse the dor
mant devotion of many a one who other
wise would pass the church door by.-

A gentleman, while traveling on a
certain railway, got out at > station
where the train stopped for a few min
utes and entered the refreshment room.
His eyes resting on a basket containing
buns, he suddenly burst into tears. The
sympathetic attendant gently asked
him what was the matter and elicited
the following touching explanation:
"Pray excuse my emotion. Two years
ago I was traveling on this line on my
honeymoon. My wife came into this
refreshment room and scratched our ini
tials on a bun which I see in this bas

tender souvenir. Here is half a dollar. ”

The editor of The Clarice was a very
patient man. A startling crash from
the direction of the composing room
caused him to push his spectacles upon
his brow and cease writing. When he
found that the boy had let the first page

an incoherent mass, he shook his head
reproachfully and exclaimed:
"Lemuel, I do wish that you could
manage to break the news more gently."

to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
