this tube is infamed you have a

Maneuvers In Cromwe1ps Time.

In Cromwell's time the troop, 100
strong, was, for the purposes of ma
neuver, drawn up in five ranks. Civ
ing a frontage of 30 men. with six
feet interval between man and man
and six feet distance from rank to
rank. In civilian language every
man was six feet from his neighbor
to front, TANKS and rear, six feet
two less than our present allowance)
being then the conventional length
of one horse.
Each of the five ranks bore it's
own name-frst, leaders; second,
followers to the front; third, mid
dlemen; fourth, followers to the
rear; fifth, bringers up. The object
of the six foot interval was to enable
the whole troop to take ground to
tanks or rear by the simple words
Fright (or left turn" Right Tor
left about turn" Thus the open
formation was indispensable for the
execution of the simplest maneuver.
If it were desired to wheel the
troop entire, the files were closed till
the men were knee to knee and the
ranks closed till the horses were
nose to Group. This was called
''close order" and may fairly be said
to have deserved the name. Think
of the feelings of the men in the vi
cinity of horses with bells on their
cruppers. Macmillan's Magazine.

BABY LoNIl,N CIVILIZATION.
Some of the Interesting Customs of Dead
Empire Described.

Some of the Interesting Customs of a Dead
Empire Described.
Among other features of ancient
Babylonian civilization some inter
esting particulars were given as
to the position of women. Though
polygamy was allowed and practiced,
there is no trace of the harem sys-
TEN, a fact in which Babylon con
trasts very favorably with Assyria,
where the harem system was prac-
ticed In Babylon women could pos
sess property and in certain contin-
gencies could inherit property When
a man died without leaving a son,
his estate was inherited by his broth
er, or failing a brother the next in
succession was a brothers son, when
failing a brother or nephew the es-
tate passed to his daughter.
There is an interesting instance in
which q woman conducted a case in
a court of law which was something
like our modern court of queens
bench. The woman represented the
claims of her adopted son against
the counterclaim of her husbands
brother. She pleaded the case in
person, and the judge decided in her
favor. There are five tablets now in
the British museum, which are the
identical documents this woman pro-
duced to establish her claim.
The institution of marriage had
much in common with the marriage
laws and customs in modern Euro
pean nations. 1t was civil contract,
solemnized by religious ceremony.
One part of the ceremony in the tenn
pie was very significant The priest
took thread from the garment of
the bride and another from the gar
ment of the bridegroom and tied
them into knot, which he gave to
the bride. This is probably the orr
gin of the modern saying about tying
the knot in regard to marriage, but
according to the Babylonian ideas it
had special significance.
The most sacred covenant between
two persons among the Semitic races
was the covenant of clothes" This
is the meaning of the incident re
corded in I Samuel xviii, 4, when JON
athan stripped himself of his robe
and put it upon David. 1t was sol
emn covenant of perpetual friend
ship. The knotted threads in a Baby
lonian marriage had the same sig
nificanca. This covenant of clothes
explains the origin of the custom so
often mentioned in the Bible of rend-
ing the garments as sign of grief
for the dead. 1t symbolized the
friendship which had been severed
by death. It is quite probable, too,
that this was the underlying idea
which prompted the touching OF the
hem of Christ's garment. 1t was a
claim of friendship and therefore OF
help. It is. also possible that this
gives it's shade of meaning to the fact
that when Christ died ''the veil of
the temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom. st. Chad

News of Serious Fighting by Belgians in
Africa.
LONDON, Oct. S-The Exchange Tele-
graph company announces that the
African mail has brought news of seri-
GUS fighting between the Arabs and
Belgians in the Congo state. 1t is
alleged by these advices that the Belgi-
ans claimed truce after heavy fighting
and that they have hemmed in the
Arabs and massacred them without
quarter.
Another account says that the Arabs,
commanded by Chief Rumiliza, after a
truce agreed upon conference which
was eventually commenced, but almost
Immediately afterwards, the Arab pow
der magazine exploded. This caused
both sides to suspect treachery and
fighting between them was resumed.
The Arabs were surrounded on all sides
by the Belgians and were nearly all
massacred. Chief Rumiliza succeeded
in escaping, but the great majority OF
his followers persisted. Over thirty
chiefs were numbered among the slain.
The Belgians captured 300, 900 lakhs
worth of property.

The Arkansas City Visited BY Destructive
Cyclone.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. "A ter
rible cyclone struck this city at 7:SO p.
m. and almost devastated the business
portion of the city. Several people are
known to have been killed and injured,
while it is feared scores of others have
met the same horrible fate. The main
portion of the business center is prac-
tically in ruins and the amount OF
damage is incalculable. The total
property loss will probably approximate
$500. 900. The cyclone was accom-
panied by q terrible storm and tho
stocks of goods in those business houses
which were unroofed, though not 9TH
erwise wrecked, We're destroyed by
water. The storm struck the state PEN
itentiary, which stands on hill in the
western part of the city, with fearful
force, destroying the diningroom, tear
ing down the stable and shops, unroof-
ing the main cell building and demol-
ishing the warden's office. Several
convicts were seriously injured, one OF
whom died an hour afterwards.

Was Always Polite to Strangers In the
Country and Expected Courtesy Here.
He hadn't been in the city long,
and he wasn't expected to know, but
he was firm in the conviction that he
had the right to inquire. Down
where he came from they often had
people stranger hoput ques-
tons about byways and such things,
and he was always glad to answer
them even going SO far as to put
them into the right path if they had
any doubt about their ability to fol
low his directions, which were mi
mute to a degree. He therefore had
no conjunction about putting ques-
ton or two himself, seeing that he
was not upon his native heath, and
if city folk had half the Doliteness
ascribed to them he would find out
Just what he wanted to know. Some
thing of this was passing through
his mind as he ranged up against the
window of the ticket seller on the
uptown side of an elevated station.

ct agent, do the trains on this yer
track go to the ferry?"
Certainly not, " answered the tick
ct seller. This is the up side"

the agent.

farmer good naturally.

The G reat Northern Railway COM
pany has appealed from the order of
the railroad commission of this state,
reducing its grain rates. The order is
limited solely to rates local to the state,
and the question involved is as to the
reasonableness of local rates. The COM
pany, on the appeal, and on motion to
stay the order, has filed certain aft
davits, and among others, the affidavit
of Vice President W. P. Clough, as to
earnings, cost of construction and oper-
alton, and other matters material to the
question.
The statement of the state board
of equalization has been printed
and is now being sent out by the
state auditor to the county auditors
throughout the state. The figures show
a reduction of from 10 to 40 per cent in
the valuation of horses of all ages in al
most every county, and general reduc-
ton in sheep in about half the counties.
There is general increase in the valu-
alton of hogs, averaging probably 40
per cent, and an advance in cattle in
about two-thirds of the counties. The
valuation of land was also increased in
nearly every county, the average adj
vance being something like % per cent.
