Hancock into sea of mud.
This was governors day." and despite

! ed out to see the events. The contest
for prizes today was between infantry
companies in the maiden class, for three
prizes aggregating $500.

Gov. 5. A. Holcomb and staff, Nebraska:
Judge Advocate General Meaney. repre-
sentinS Governor Werts of New Jersey.
and Governor Mcintyre and staff. of
Colorado
This evening, after the sun had gone
down and the camp was in darkness and
supposed to be wrapt in slumber the
long roll was sounded and the troops were
turned out to repel an attack. For half
an hour or more there was thrilling en-
counter between the soldiers of the Sleep
ing garrison and the attacking party. The
hiring in the darkness by batteries and
companies and the shouts and commands
on either side lent an air of reality TO
the affair that was pleasing to the spec
tatorS.
The program for the day includes sew
eral band concerts, dress parade and
award of prizes.
Captain Deffrey of the Nicely Zouaves
of Memphis has received word that he
and his company have been dishonorably
discharged from the Tennessee National
Guard for having participated in the
drill here yesterday.
They were not permitted to come here
as a company, so they came as individ-
uals and borrowed all their accoutre-
ments and uniforms in st. Louis for the
drill. The justice of their discharge is
being questioned therefore.
Capt. JnO. A. Miller of the Phoenix
Light Infantry of Dayton has received
letter from Captain Wheeler, United
States army, stationed at Washington.
This letter states that recent inspection
of the files of the department has reveal
ed the fact that Captain Miller had been
given his commission as captain in the
regular army by President Andrew John
son in 1865. The letter received was
the first intimation of his promotion
received by Captain Miller although the
was issued 30 years ago.
Captain Miller was sergeant major of
he Eighteenth Ohio regiment during the
civil war and was stationed in Tennes-
see in 1868. While there a vacancy oc-
Cured in one of the companies of the
regular army and Captain Miller made
application for the commission. He
heard no more of it until yesterday when
ne discovered that he had been captain
n the United State army for the past 80
years.

AN OLD LAW REVIVED.

-; Eagle Pass, Tex, July 7.-(Special.) y
The Mexican government having recently
assumed charge of all minis in Mexico,
apparently to increase the mining of
metals, has ordered the strict enforce
ment of an old law, obsolete for years, that
places many restrictions on the exporta-
ton of bullion and ore, with a minimum
line of $500 for attractions. Until the
provisions of this law become more
thoroughly understood, the Mexican Inter
national Railway company has tempo
farlly instructed its agents to refuse con-
signments of ore and bullion.

LONDON, May 4.-The report that
the oath of May will be made memoir
able by the abdication of the queen
has again come to the surface, but
this time with stronger coloring
of trustWorthineSS than ever before
On that date seventy-siX years ago
Queen Victoria was born, and while
her mental faculties are not in any
way impaired by the burden of years,
the physical ailments have increased
to such an extent as to make all
state duties well-nigh impossible.
This fact, too, was emphasized re-
Gently by a long conference between
the mother and the Prince of Wales,
in which at least two Of the men,
bers Of Lord Rosebery's cabinet
took part. But the queen has at va
rious times in the past year intimated
a wish to abdicate, and especially was
this the case at the wedding of
Princess Victoria Melita of Sake
Coburg to Prince Ernest of Hesse.
The celebration of the queens birth
day this year will, however, be made
noteworthy, even should the states
men who now surround her decide
against the abdication. She will be
at Osborne on that eventful day, and
will receive in person addresses from
every portion of the realm-and gifts
as varied as the climes and nations
under her kindly sway.

Attempt to Locate IL Pest House In

WINCHESTER, KY, May A pest
house riot broke out today. A colored
prisoner in the county Jail has small
pox. Today lumber was secured and
carpenters put to work on a pest house,
five miles out. The farmers turned out
en- masse, armed with Winchesters.
The carpenters had almost completed
the pest house, before the mob
gathered. The armed citizens were
stationd along all roads leading from
Winchester to the pest house. The
sheriff came out to protect the car
penters with a large posse and was
driven back into town by two hundred
armed men. Tonight the pest house,
was burned and the farmers on all
sides of the town are guarding the
| roads in anticipation that the small
poX prisoner may be taken through
their neighborhood to some obscure To-
cality. They insist that they propose
to stop the taking of contagious
diseases from the town to the country
district. Meanwhile the sheriff, whose
| residence is in the Jail, has his small
pox patent on his hands and cannot
| get out of town in any direction.

WOODWARD, Okla, May A
bold Jail delivery, followed by the
killing of two Of the escaped con-

Officer Ben Wolfert, occurred here
this evening. Prisoners Bill Waddelf
and Heffen, the first two confined
for liberating prisoners a month ago,
secured a gun and forced the guard
to open the cage. They then armed
themselves with Winchesters in the
cell house and started for the hills.

a numer of deputies and gave chase.
Within a mile from town the trio were
overtaken. They were afoot, while
their pursuers were we'll mounted,
and escape was impossible. A de-
mand to surrender, however, was
answered with a volley from the con-
Victs, who had taken refuge behind
a large rock. This was the signal for
general firing, which was kept up
sharply by both sides for fully half
an hour. For the time being, be-
cause Of their barracade, the convicts
had the better of the situation, and
before any of them had been hit by
the deputies shots, Officer Ben Wolf
ert received a bullet through the
left arm, and Officer Prior's horse
was shot from under him. So soon
as Prior's horse fell the officers scat
tered. and. surrounding the rock,
poured shot after shot into the con-
victs. At the first volley, which was
given in concert, Hill and Heffen
were killed. The firing was kept up,
however, but soon Waddell sur
rendered. Officer Wolfert's wound is
serious. His arm has been ampu-
tated.

Her life today is one of supreme
peace. While cabinets change and
ministers come and go, she moves on
in her old age, caring to only hear Of
industrial progress, Of charitable
movements, and, strange to say, OF
royal weddings. She is a born match
maker, as ardent today to see royal
lovers united as in her earlier life.
No event of recent years has given her
SO much pleasure as the prospective
marriage Of the Duke Of Aosta with
the Princess of Orleans. 1t is said
that she personally dictated letter
to King Humbert urging him to sane
literary souvenirs are two bright
epistles from the lovers thanking her
for her kind interest.
On these birthdays, however, there
is one bIack-bordered envelope, bear
ing the stamp of Imperial France
that comes as regularly as the day.
It is from a weary little woman, who,
in her days of sorrow, sought the
shelter of England's crown, and is
today among the most welcome visit
ors of the queen.
Ex-Empress Eugene reciprocates
the kindness of the queen in manner
peculiar to herself. There was a time
in her life when the gifts she sent were
diamonds. Today they are the merest
trif1es. For instance, on the queens
last birthday she sent her a dozen
pairs of French felt slippers, as soft
as down.
Only recently, when she heard of the
queens trip to Cimiez, she had dozen
corsets made for her royal friend. Not
such as in the days of Prince Consort
Albert and Louis Napoleon, when these
queens wore the daintiest of tight
laced garments, but in shape to fit a
peasant womans form. They are
Loose, but made by French corsetiere
after directions given personally by
the eX-empress.
