Civilian Army Officers.
Kansas CGv Times.

President Harrison's appointment OF
his private Secretary, Elijah Halford,
as pavmaster in the army, with the
rank OF major, will cause dissatisfaction
in the service. Men who have been IN
the army for years, with splendid re-
cords for efficiency and valor, feel that
they should be remembered when there
are plums to be distributed. They
rightly believe that a man should not
be taken from civil life and placed In a
military position, with ranking title,
when there is such good field in the
service from which TO pick.

COL. JOS. s MILLGR A. CANDIDATE

He is willing TO Serve as Internal Reve-

Spe~' al telegram 10 he Register.
WASHINGTON, February 9.-Col. Jo-
seph S. Miller, Of West Virginia, who
was Internal Revenue Commissioner in
Cleveland's former administration, is
likely to again fill that Office. Since
Cleveland's reelection he has been re-
peatedy urged by friends In and out of
public life TO become a candidate for
the place but was disinclined to do so,
as he was reluctant to give up the bust
ness connections he has made in the
last four years, and which promise
much better things than he could hope
to obtain from holding Office. He has
of late. however, been SO strongly urged
to become "a candidate for the internal
Revenue CommissiOnership and has re-
ceived such assurances of support that
he has decided to enter the field. Mr..
Miller made wide circle OF friends
during his residence in Washington
when in Office before, and all these and
all who know him, will be glad TO see
him again placed at the head OF the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. Col. u. I.
Vinson of Huntington, was in town to-
day in legal business and incidentally
to look after the interests of his father,
Mr.. S. S. Vinson, who is a candidate for
United States Marshall of the State.

4 TERRIBLE DEATH.
How a PASSENGER on the Mono
wal Ret His End.

While the Monowai was steam
ing between Sydney and Auckland,
a Storage passenger named S. Solo
mon committed suicide by jumping
overheard. The steamer was stopped
and boat was launched.
After rowing around the spot
where the man was last seen for
some time, the boat returned close
20 the ship, but was sent off in
mother direction VIII e a crowd of
albatrosses riding on the water
suggested the presence Of the body.
The boat reached the spot, away
flew the birds, and Solomon was
picked up insensible. His ears,
head and face had been picked to
a sickening degree, and in this
condition the unfortunate man was
on board, and was hand
ed over to the ships doctor. All
the methods of restoring the APP
parently drowned were used, but to
no avail, as within an hour after
his rescue, when there was a little |
life in him, the man expired.
