some cases, new uniforms, revision of
the military law to con form to new
drill regulations. division of each of the
four regiments into two Dattalions of
four companies each, increase of maxi
mum strength of companies from sixty
eight to seventy-siX men, and perma-
pent kitchens at Mantle with the COM
missary generals department in charge
of messing while troops are in camp.
With reference to new divisions of
men, as recommended, General Emblcr
says: This would reduce the line
strength of the ten-company regiments
First and Second by seventy-two en-
listed men each, and increase the eight,
company regiments Third and Fourth
by sixty-four enlisted men each. The
numerical strength of the brigade
would remain practically as now anC
the organization be in form to CORE
spond with regulations, the undesirable
and cumbersome feature of odd compa
MES would be eliminated"
The report shows that the Connect
cut National Guard consists of 81
organizations, 1914 officers and 2,786 en-
listed men or an efficient military forct

The Jail Officials Doing What They Can
to Make His End Peaceful.
Saws the New Haven Register of last
evening: Patrick Flanagan, the muir
derer, who is dying in the county Jail,
and had been able to sit up to within
very few days, is now so weak that he
cannot arise from his bed, and will
probably never again leave it until lifted
therefrom into his coffin.
His case has excited the sympathy OF
all the Jail officials. With them he has
been popular. They are paying him all
the attention possible to make his last
hours painless. No one comes to see
him scarcely. The few who do come
are welcome visitors, Flanagan cheer
fully conversing with them as freely as
his strength will permit.
His nearest relative is a brother in
Waterbury. With consideration that
has been marked feature throughout
his long weary months at the Jail, Elan
agan puts his brother to as little incon
venience as possible. He has written t.
him not to come to the Jail unless HI
sends for him. This is because thu
brother can little afford, with his larg'
family and small pay, to stand the ex
pense of such a journey very often.

There may be trouble in the house
over the bill appropriating 100000 for
a public building at Waterbury.
Usually the senate authorizes such
buildings and leaves the details to the
house. In this instance the senate bill
introduced by Senator Platt contained a
specific appropriation, to which it is
thought the house committee will be
apt to object.-Hartford Courant.

Rogers & Rogers,

1t is pleasure to refer readers to the
live stock commission firm of Rogers &
Rogers, Kansas City stock yards. In
placing q larger number Of live stock
commission men in these columns, the
unvarying custom Of selecting the most
reliable, honorable and accommodating
firms in each line of business has been
followed. Those who have had business
relations with the advertisers in these
columns and have given the ADVOCATE
credit for their introduction, will agree
with the above statement.
Rogers & Rogers are examples of the
men who have built up great live stock
market for Kansas people at their own
doors; Of the men who lead in advanced
ideas for improving this market and
assisting the shipper to it in realizing q
better price. Their business has in
creased with the development Of Kansas,
and they ask for share of that emanat-
ingfrom the readers of this paper. The
shipper Of single Car of stock receives
the same attention and consideration
from them that the shipper Of a tram
load gets. Those intending to send in a
load or two of stock will be given all the
information needed at the cost of postal
card to Rogers & Rogers, Kansas City
stock yards.

and Rs quietly as possible referred to the
committee on ways and means without
debate. II escaped the notice of all the
friends of silver coinage, and, having
been introduced on the first day Of the
session, it assumes a commanding posi-
ton on the calendar. It is modestly en-
titled "A bill for the issue of bonds, etc." /"
The most appropriate title for the new
bill would be "a bill for the increase Of
the national debt, to render unnecessary
q special session Of congress, and to stave
off and postpone further action for the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver" !"
But this innocent looking bill, like the
clause in the bill demonetizing silver in
1873, was unheralded by speech, and
was hurried off to the committee to avoid
comment or explanation. None OF the
friends OF silver seemed to notice the
dangerous little gold-bug scheme, and
no objection was made to its prompt
reference to the ways and means commit
tee, Of which Mr.. Springer is chairman.
Being financial measure of great i'm
portance, it should properly have been
referred to the committee on coinage, of
which Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, is chair
man. Why it was not so is plainly ap-
parent.
The Amerman bill proposes to provide
for the immediate issue of $75,OO0,000 in
ten-year bonds to be sold, and the pro-
ceeds used to supply the impending de-
ficiency in the United States treasury.
These $75,000,0O0 in bonds are made
payable in gold coin at the option Of the
United States after ten years. This bill
is understood to be- the result Of recent
consultation among the opponents Of sill
yer legislation, aud is the formulation of
the ideas recently advanced by leading
gold-bug papers in the east looking to
the increase Of the bonded indebtedness
Of the United States. 1t is the first step
in the direction Of the plan suggested by
Controller Hepburn of the treasury, and
hinted at in the recent report of Treas
urer Nebecker. The silver men. as we'll
as the friends of an early revision of the
Mckinley tariff, will hsYe to exercise
rare vigilance, and be prepared for a
vigorous resistance or the gold bugs will
prove too much for them in the ap-
preaching financial struggle.

RAMBLING REMARKS
And Comments Concerning Leading Topics
and Recent Occurrences.

ir session at Enterprise last week, en-
dorsed Mrs. Lease for senator.
G. Fl. Mansur, the defeated congress
man from the Chillicothe, Mo-, district,
expects TO be governor OF Oklahoma.
It is said that Mr.. Stubbs, the counted
in candidate for representative from
Haskell county, will not help to organ
ize the house.
E. w. Hoch, Of Marion, and Geo. L.
Douglass, Of Wichita, are pitted against
each other in the race for speaker. They
don't seem to consider that the chances
are slim for republican.
The Rock Island union operators have
been on a strike since last Thursday, and
a great many non-union people have been
put to work in their places. The COM
psny officials say the strike is failure.
The county clerks of Kansas will hold
a convention in Topeka, December 28
and 20. The object of the meeting is
not stated in the program, but it is pre-
sumably to devise ways and means to
get out Of Office.
The Kansas democratic editors held q
meeting in Topeka on December 10 and
resolved that they wanted the postoffices
or anything else in sight. If there is
anything democratic editor is success
full at it is to resolve.
Even B. P. Waggener is a candidate
for senator. If the race was left to the
democrats alone, the Atchison lawyer
would be about number nine from the
top of the list. Atchison is not good
locality for senatorial timber.
Southern democrats are dlsgruntled
because Speaker Crisp, who was present
at the grand Cleveland banquet held in
New York on the 10th. was not invited
to speak. They say he was just as near
sober as those who did speak.
In the Ottawa county case the Kansas
supreme court decided last week that it
was not necessary that person should
be member Of any bar in order to fill
the position of county attorney. In this
case convict had appealed his case to
the supreme court on the grounds that
County Attorney Halderman was never
admitted to the bar.
The county seat fight in Seward
county was lately renewed. The election
to relocate the county seat was held last
Thursday and resulted in majority Of
125 in favor of moving it from Spring
field to Liberal. Next day the county
records were, by order of the commits
sioners, removed to the new capital. The
Springfield people made serious threats
to prevent the removal, but no killing
occurred. Judge Botkin was not in it
this time.
Mr. and Mrs. Slattery, the ex.priest
and wife who lectured against Roman
ism at several places in Kansas, were
prevented from filling their engagement
at Sedalia, Mo. leading Catholics of
that place paid the opera house man.
ager the price Slattery had agreed to
pay for the house, and gave him an in
Identifying bond against damages that
might accrue, They then threatened
the ex-priest with violence in case he de-
livered his lecture Al Of which help to
create suspicion that Slattery's lee
lures contain some truth.
