TULLAHOMA
IS FAVORED
BY SEC. WAR
PRESIDENT TAFT SENDS RE
PORT OF COMMISSION TO CON
GRESS-DOES NOT MEAN HOW
EVER THAT BRIGADE POST
MAY NOT BE ESTABLISHED AT
CHICKAMAUGA.
Chattanooga. Tenn., July .1 —News
received in this city last night to the
effect that President Taft had sent to
congress the report of the commit
tee which investigated the sites for i
maneuver grounds in Tennessee, with
the secretary of war's recommenda
tion that the Tullahoma proposition be
accepted, was greeted by ( hattanoo
gans with some degree of surprise.
However, it was felt, as heretofore,
that not the maneuver grounds but
the brigade post was the thing most
to be desired for Chickamauga Park,
although this city had been strongly
Inclined to the opinion that land in
this vicinity would serve both pur
poses much better than the site recom
mended by Secretary Stimson. Al
though not stated in the dispatches
it is assumed that the secretary’s re
commendation was along the lines of
the report of the army officers.
Washington, June 30—President
Taft sent to congress today the re
port of the commission authorized
last February to investigate the feas
ibility of establishing a permanent
maneuver and practice camp for the
regular army and the militia near the
Chickamauga - Chattanooga militia
park in Tennessee.
The report of the commission was
accompanied by the recommendation
of Secretary of War Stimson, that a
tract of 5,000 acres, near Tullahoma,
Tenn., offered by the citizens of that
community, be accepted for the camp
site, and that the government acquire
35,000 acres of adjoining land for
an artillery practice and maneuver
field. The property can be had for
$12.50 an acre.
The commission who investigated
the various positions for a maneuver
site consisted of Col. Joseph Garrard,
Fifteenth cavalry; Maj. Edmund Wit
tenmeyer, general staff; Maj. B. Frank
Cheatham, .quartermaster's depart
ment, and Maj. Frank C. Baker, medi
cal corps. The commission came to
Chattanooga some weeks ago and were
entertained at the Hotel Patten by
the Chamber of Commerce.

__
HIGH WIRE PERFORMERS WITH
POPULAR AMUSEMENT COM
PANY ARE HURLED TO EARTH
WHEN POLE GIVES WAY—IN
JURIES WILL NOT PROVE
DANGEROUS.
While performing their high wire
bicycle act at the show grounds of
the Mitchell Amusement company
I down town last night, Mr. and Mrs.
I Charles Watson came, very near losing
their lives.
The giving away of one of the poles
to which the wire cable was stretched
caused them to fall heavily to the
ground and both were seriously in
jured.
According to the story of the ac
cident, the injured couple went out
on the wire last night between nine
and ten o’clock for a repetition of
the performance which was witnessed
by many hundreds yesterday after
noon.
The actor rides a wheel across the
wire and his wife hangs under him
from a trapeze. Last night the pole
which was said to be spliced, gave
way at the south end of the cable
and the two fell to the earth, a dis
tance of probably thirty feet.
It is said that before the fall the
lady called out to the crowd to get
from under the wire.
The fall landed them amongst a pile
of crates and these may have, to some
extent broken the shock, although
both were considerably bruised up
and Mr. ’Watson is said to have been
wounded with the pieces of broken
timber.
Drs. W. E. Wood and Rollins waited
on the patients and report that their
injuries are not very serious.
The Amusement company has been
in Dalton several days and the mer
ry-go-round, together with the other
special feautres, have attracted many
spectators.
The wire riding is a very’ daring
feat but no accident would have hap
pened except for the giving away of
the pole.

A NUMBER OF DEATHS
AND MANY PROSTRATIONS
Washington, July 2—With down
town thermometers registering 107
degrees, a local weather record for
the season was made here today. The
official temperature was 98 and the
suffering was increased by the humid
ity. No immediate relief, it was said,
is in sight.
The weather bureau promises that
the coming week will be one of mode
rate temperature in the south Atlan
tic and gulf states and generally over
the region west of the Mississippi
river. Higher temperatures will pre
vail the first part of the week in the
northern and middle states east of
the Mississippi, followed by a change
to lower temperature in these dis
tricts about Wednesday.
A barometric depression that now
covers the Rocky mountain region,
according to the bureau, will drift
slowly eastward, preceded by local
showers and thunderstorms, and will
cross the Mississippi valley Tuesday
or Wednesday and the Atlantic states
Thursday or Friday. It will be fol
lowed by cooler weather over the
plains states, the Mississippi valley
and the region east thereof.
The heat record for the North
American continent was not held by
the United States, but went to Cana-

Afraid of Ghosts ’
Many people are afraid of ghosts. Few people t
are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is a fancy and 4*/ »
the germ is a fact. If the germ could be magnified |
to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more i • -a, X* ’
terrible than any tire-breathing dragon. Germs
can’t be avoided. They are in the air we breathe,
the water we drink. '
The germ can only prosper when the condition
of the system gives it free scope to establish it- \
self and develop. When there is a deficiency of
vital force, languor, restlessness, a sallow cheek, a»«sic»sxHsrass®..
a hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and the **
sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fl
fortify the b,. Jy against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Gold- ■
cn Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the tsOSft.
system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom
ach and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so V lITT
that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed. V\\ )>

habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on its outside U | |
wrapper. It is not a secret nostrum but a medicine ov known » 1 \ \
composition and with a record of 40 years of cures. Accept no V
i . nothing “just as good.” Ask your neighbors. W
It was decided to have three games
a week, to be played on each Monday,
Thursday and Saturday afternoons.
The gate receipts of each game are
to be divided equally between the two
i teams playing. This will enable every
club to figure at all times on the
of money available for ex
i penses.
I No team in the club will be allowed
: to secure players from another team,
;for any league game, every team be
i ing required to use only its own men.
A list of the members composing
each team is to be furnished at onfe
land it was requested Jhat each mana-
I ger furnish such list today, or as
I soon as possible to Mr. W. M. Sapp.
; As soon as this is done, another
I meeting will be called of the mana
' gers and captains and this body will
constitute the governing board of the
league.
i The«oflicial scorer will keep an ac
curate record of the batting and field
ing averages of each player during
the season and on special occasions
when out of town games are sched
uled an all star team will be made up
from star players on the several
league teams.
Each club in the league is to be a
separate and distinct organization
and manage its own affairs except
wherein they touch the affairs of the
general organization.
The length of the season will in all
probability be determined at the
meeting of captains and managers
which will be held within the next
day or so.
In any event play is expected to
i start almost immediately and no de-
Hay will be made for the uniforms to
j arrive.
