The saying that an army travels upon
It's belly is strictly true. Tho longer
the march the more essential is an
sbundant supply of food. Ordinarily
the railroads and wagons can transport
all the food that is needed, but often
the time comes when the army must
turn its back upon both An important
point is to be seized, column of tho
enemy must be prevented from uniting
with another: these and a dozen other
contingencies will call for the most
rapid marching of which troops are
capable. All food must be carried upon
the person, and it is important that
rations for such occasions should be
light in weight, nutritious and COM

ject of half dozen boards of regular
officers now in session in different parts
of the country.
All European nations have an emer-

The French use a similar ration, but
so prepared that it can be eaten with

mix it with water. Onc-third of this
emergency ration is eaten every year,
when new supply is ordered. In this
way no part of the stock is more than
two or three years old.

THE BOOTBLACK AND A GUN
clone STAR" q High Sinner, Gets Into Z
Scrape
He Throws Q Lighted Lamp at His Wife and
Claims He Did So In
Self Eefense

Sacramento, March ia special to
the Record Union from Placerville states
that that town was the scene of a most
shocking affair on Saturday night, in
which a bootblack, known as "Lone
STAR" and his wife were the actors, and
which is expected to result in the
woman's death.
The man claims that upon entering his
home that evening his wife fired two
shots at him from a revolver, and in self
defense he caught up the lamp and threw
it at her. 1t is also stated that he said to
another party that his wife shot at him
and he did not know how the lamp got
upset.
After the quarrel the man went to a
livery stable and ordered the fastest sad
die horse they had, claiming it was for a
physician, but the demand was refused.
The woman claims that her husband
came home under the influence of liquor
and insane from jealousy, shot at her
twice and then threw the lighted lamp at
her. When the lamp struck her it exploded,
and the blazing oil ignited her clothing.
Before the flames could be extinguished
she received injuries that physicians state
will result fatally. The flesh is literally
cooked upon her arms and breast, and
hangs in shreds from the bones.
Lone Starr has been arrested and
lodged in jail.

THOSE YOUNG ELOPERs
Willie Brown and Norma B0ggs Said to
Be in San Jose
At the Home of the Boys Father-The Young
Couple Fled From Portland
Last Week

San Jose, March 11.-William Brown,
aged 10 years, and Miss Norma Boggs,
aged IS, who were reported in dispatches
from San Francisco to have eloped to-
gether from Albina, Or, are at the home
OF c. ]. Brown, the father of the boy, on
Alum Rock avenue in this city. The
Brown family has resided here for about
eight months, having come from Albina.
For number of weeks the boy has been
visiting his relatives in Oregon, and when
he went on the steamer to 60 home he
found the girl aboard. She had threat
ened to leave her home and 60 to Califor-
mia to visit her old friends, the Brown
family
The girl had often before been wilful
and gone on long trips to the home of her
grandmother and other relatives in Ore.
gon. This is the explanation of the dis
appearance of the young people together
on the steamer Columbia. They deny that
they asked the captain of the ship or any
one on board to marry them. They did
not see the captain to know HIM, having
come in the steerage. The story of the
young people is corroborated by party OF
three other passengers, with whom they
came from Oregon. At San Francisco the
boy heard before landing of the story that
had been telegraphed from Portland
he decidsd not to allow her to
come on to San Jose with him. He
put her in charge of the officers in the
boat. and they promised to take her home
on the return trip. When the boy arrived
in San Jose. however, his father said he
would 60 to San Francisco to get the girl
and bring her to San Jose. She will visit
the family here few weeks and then re-
turn to her home in Oregon.
Mr.. Brown recently fell heir to a portion
of an estate valued at $4,000, not 5000
as reported and the story about Miss
Boggs having left for the East with an
aged lover is entirely without foundation.

Where Earrings Go

People oft'n wonder where earrings go
to or have gone to. A few years ago the
fashion of wearing these relics of barba-
rism was quite general; but now it is the
exception, and not the rule, to see we'll
dressed lady with pair. Indeed the or
naments have been left off SO long that
scores of ladies who used to wear them
could hardly do so now without incon-
venience and pain. But the pretty toys
or gems have not been thrown away or
wasted; thousands have been worked up
into other and more fashionable orna-
ments. Many very handsome brooches
have been made out of earrings which
have outlived their usefulness; and there
has been quite large amount of in
genuity displayed in the work so far as to
do away with any suspicion of second
hand in the reconstructed ornaments.
More than one pair has been made into
sleeve buttons and presented to mem
Der OF the sterner sex, and others have
been fitted with pins and used by their
fair owners as hat or hair pins. The best
judges in these matters doubt whether
earrings, as such, will ever become popu-
lar again, and it is very unusual for
ladies nowadays to have their ears pierced

Laramie. fireman, is not entitled to rein
statement as an employee OF the Union Pa
ciic.
The case has been watched with a great
deal of interest by. every employee OF the
Union Pacific, and the decision has been
anxiously awaited. He was fireman on
the Union Pacific fast mail running be-
tween Laramie and Rawlins. June rs,
1894, Hewett reported to the company
physician at Laramie that he was i'll and
asked for lay-off. The absence was
granted him. July 8 the A. h. U. called
out its members in Laramie, and Hewett
was called to go to work and refused to
do so, claiming that his illness prevented
him from SO doing. The master says in
his report that Hewett took active part
in the meetings Of the strikers and made
several speeches, stating that the men
should stay out The master said in
his report that the cause OF his dis
charge was his participating in the
strike. His attorneys filed an exception

London, March 11.-Eive thousand peo-
pie assembled tonight at Central Hall,
Holburn, to witness the boxing match for
purse of $4,000 between Frank P. Slavin,
the Australian heavyweight, and Frank
Craig, the Harlem Coffee Cooler" The
betting at the start was to on Craig.
After the usual preliminaries the men
came from their corners and spared very
cautiously for an opening. Slavin was
the first to lead off, with light blow on
Craig's head. This led to rally in which
Slavin got in a couple OF heavy punches
Craig failed to land blow aimed at
Slavin's jaw, and tried it again without
success. but received on his own jaw a
tremendous back-handed blow from
Slavin's right, which foored him like a
log fine attendants tried hard to relieve
Craig, but upon the expiration of ten
seconds he was still lying helpless.
Slavin was declared the winner amid a
scene of great excitement.
The fight lasted less than two minutes.

terweight champion, and Emmett Moody,
local fighter. 1t was stiff match, in
which Ryan was put on his mettle. The
local mans cleverness in lodging Ryan s
swings and landing several good blows
nettled the champion. Ryan, however,
had the better of it on the whole.
