work for the roadbed through Cimar-

canon are told that plenty Of work can
be had at Maxwell City in few days.

The House judiciary committee has

STEALING FORAGE.
UNCLE SANS FINE HORSES WERE
STARVED,
While Their Keepers Have Been
Profiting by Selling Their
Feed to Inscriptions
Small Merchants.

1t has developed since yesterday that
quite a series of wholesale thefts or rob-
berries have been Systematically commit
ted on the properly of Uncle Sam at Fort
Sam Houston.
How long these thefts have been commit
ted is not yet known, but the proper OFF,
GERS of the government now have the case
in hand and will. it is confidently stated,
soon possess the requisite information.
The forage department, thus far, has
been the only known sufferer. The rob-
berries have been executed at the stables
of the cavalry, where the forage, corn,
oats and other grains have been issued in
regular ten day rations.
The culprits have, in every case, been
soldiers, aided by outside parties. ster-
The whole thing came to light yeened
day morning when an officer happ hill,
by small store on Government
where four soldiers were unloading
sacks of grain and carrying them in the
store in broad day light. One of the men,
seeing the officer, made himself scarce,
and deserted, not being seen since. The
other three men, one sergeant and two
cOrporals, were putluDder arrest, and as for
the citizen storekeeper, he was turned
over to the police authorities.
The men had stolen six sacks of grain
from the stables, which they had sold to
the merchant for SO, or $3.50 per sack Of
two and oDehalf bushels
= The ten days ration had just been de-
livered the day previous.
1t is understood the storekeeper has
offered to turn states evidence and give
the officers all the information in regard
TO the thefts, which have been conducted
very Systematically and upon such a
wholesale plan that it is understood that
a large number of other enlisted men at
Fort Sam Houston will be implicated.
The affair will be thoroughly investi-
gated by the army officials.
1t has caused a profound sensation
among the Hill people.

The Midnight Sun.
Harper'S Magazine.

Harper's Magazine.
You first begin to look for the
midnight sun when you are first
approaching the Arctic circle. 1t
was just within the circle that /
first saw this thrilling sight. The
air had been clear for several nights
and so light that l could read a
novel on deck at any hour without
firing my eyes in the least, but the
sun was hidden from sight by
rocky islands that rose to height
of several thousand feet. On the
night Of July 81 happened to go
up on deck just at midnight. AS
l did so our steamer pulled out
from behind an island, and there
hung the sun, about six degrees
above the horizon. The sky was
ablaze with many shades of red.
Right in line with the sun was a
fishing sloop, the only sign of life
anywhere except aboard our own
steamer. From many sharp noun
tain peaks above us was reflected
the suns light, and the whole
heavens were in gorgeous array. 1t
was an inspiring spectacle, there
being something almost supernat-
ural in it's influence.
