Department of the Platte.

WASHINGTON, October 31st In his an
nual report upon the operations of the
army Department of the Platte. Brigadier-
General Brooke says that practice marches
during the year were beneficial, and the
mingling of the national guard and the
regular army accomplished good results.
There has been falling off in trials by
court martial, both general and garrison,
but General Brooke says it is impossible to
determine at this early date whether or not
this is owing to the recent activity of the
normal situation incident to the service.

Changes are TO be Made in the Founda-
tions
WASHINGTON, October 31st.-The much
vexed question of the San Francisco public
site, remains undecided. Another confer
ence will not be had until Aitorney-Gen-
eral Miller returns to Washington.
Supervising Architect Windrim, of the
Treasury Department, says that, in view of
the fact that the Sacramento site has been
found to be soft ground" and not capable
of sustaining so great a weight as the pro-
posed building will be, it has been decided
to adopt engineer Lyman Bridges recon-
mendation, who was sent from Angel
Island to examine the Sacramento site.
Instead of 'piling" as some favor, he recon-
mends what is called cement gravel, that
is to say two foot ryer Of gravel and one
foot of cement on which the foundation of
the building will rest.

vices from England state that important
experiments have been carried on the past

why Are Missourians Called Pukes :

When lead ore was discovered in 1927
near the present city of Galena, H.,
great number of Missouri people fiocked
to the vicinity, hoping to profit by being
early in the mining districts. They were
successful in their expectations, and oc-
cupied many of the best claims, and so
numerous were they on the mining
grounds that men from the East, finding
themselves shut out, declared that the
State of Missouri had taken a puke and
emptied all the population into Illinois.
The coarse appellation became popular,
and the people Of Missouri have ever
since gone by the name Of Pukes.

that was beginning to grow in America,
the Premier thought Spain would not find
it difficult to negotiate new treaty.

LAMB AND GREEN PEAS.
The Sort of Dinner One May Have in
the Semi Tropics.

In the east the first frosts are begin
ming to fall thickly. Tomorrow is Sun
day, and the most luxurious liver will
have to 60 to the cellar to get carrots,
turnips and old potatoes for his dinner.
1t is very different here. Yesterday al
ternoon a HERALD reporter dropped
into Simon Maier's, at the Central mar
ket, 149 North Spring street. Mr.. Maier
had just got in from the slaughter house
wagonload of the finest spring lambs
that ever tempted the appetite of gour-
met. They were about two months
old, as fat as butter, well developed
and as tender as an oyster. They were
butchered as only Simon Maier can do
things, and they did look tempting
indeed. There was, of course, mutton,
beef and veal galore in the place; but
such meats might be had at Salt Lake
or New York. Only the semi-tropics
can boast lamb like this in November.
Maier has it all the year around. To
morrow the people of Los Angeles will
eat lamb with mint sauce and green
peas, celery and egg plant, all fresh from
the fields, and go they will next month
and all winter long.
Mr.. Maier has large trade in this
spring lamb, not only in Los Angeles,
but he ships plenty of it to far away
cities.

THE FLOWER SHOW.
Jaguarina, Bobby Burns and the Ath-
letic Club Tonight.

The flower show will close this even
ing in a whirl of attractions, among
which will be the appearance of Jagua-
rina, the most noted swordswoman OF
the world. She stands pre-eminent as
an example of the result of scientific
physical culture, and as an expert in
those exercises mainly considered the
appanage OF manhood-fencing, the use
of the broadsword and of the rapier.
Many high medical authorities have
pronounced fencing as the most profit
able exercise for women; the best
adapted to develop those physical quail
ties necessary to perfect womanhood.
Those who see Jaguarina this evening
will be forced to admit the benefits re-
sulting from mastery of the
science, as well as the extreme
beauty OF the exercise. Jaguarina will
give series of assaults with her
manager, Mr.. Fred Englehardt, who is
the equal of any fencer in this country.
She has been matched against the most
expert swordsmen to be found in Europe
or this country, and from the amateur
with the foils, to the battle SCARED
cavalryman, has defeated all corners
either on foot or in the saddle. Withal
her wonderful muscular development,
she is as refined, gentle and womanly,
as any round shouldered, vinagrette
carrying, headachy, weak member of her
sex.
Added to this attraction the society
promises a dance, or several dances, by
Robby Burns, the noted little Scotch
boy, whose performance consists of
Scotch features done in way to cause
great pleasure to the onlooker. The
members of the Athletic club have also
promised to be present in uniform and
to show how interesting an exhibition
amateur athletes can give.
On the whole the show at Hazards
pavilion should be attended by every
one who can be present this evening,
for all in all it will be unique.
Yesterday the exhibit OF cut flowers
consisted of designs suitable for funer-
ais, and the table upon which they were
displayed was crowded by an admiring
throng. The exhibitors were the Cen
trail Park Floral company, which took
the first premium for a magnificent
floral design, entitled The Gates Ajar.
Mrs. Lizzie Eckenrod carried off the
third premium with beautiful floral
anchor, and g. S. Weinshank's broken
wheel was awarded third premium. The
designs exhibited by Mrs. j. Sherman,
a cross, and B. F. Collins, star aad cres-
cent, were both awarded certificates Of
special mention.
Alfred Stern of this city yesterday en-
tered an exhibit of ornamental plants
including fine specimen of the Mon
strosia Gelicosa.
