He Saved the Bill.

The whereabouts of the celebrated Indi-
state house custodian bill over which
the legislative riot occurred has been made
known. William G. Beach called at the of
flee of the secretary of state today and
gave notice that the bill was in his hands
He asked what he should do with it, He
told that the question would be re-
ferred to the attorney general. Beach's
story is that during the riot Marion King
secretary to the governor, toward the end
of the struggle fell exhausted. AS he
started to fall he held the bill up to a per-
son whom he supposed to be VIII Colbert
and asked him to care for it. A republican
snatched the bill and ran into the corridor
with it. Beach and several men followed
The group of people ran into the large
room adjoining. In this room was a CRATE
fire. Beach says that just as he entered
the room the person who had seized the
bill flung 1t into the fire.
DO not burn that BILL said Beach. The
warning not needed and Beach ran to
the CRATE and took the bill. 1t was par
TALLY burned. He smothered the flames
with his coat aud ran out of the room with
the bill.
The bill and the other papers are so badly
burned that the governors signature does
not appear IN full in any place. Only part
of the text of the bill is legble.

Army Officers May Wear an Eagle.

The probabilities are that in the near fu-
ture the officers of the United States army
will take on another designation of rank in
the shape of metallic eagle to be worn
on the front of their hats. The question is
under advisement among the head officials
of the War Department, and it is under
stood that the project is very favorably re-
garded by many of them. Some of the
army officers are urging it on the ground
that in European countries the officers
wear on their hats the colors of their SOW
eregns. They hold that it is a plain and
unmistakable evidence of nationality as
well as of rank and military service. and
that as the eagle is the national American
emblem it can be adopted to the benefit of
fha service.
