G00D-BY TO THE SEVENTH.
That Famous Regiment Leaves Kansas for
Arizona-Tcars Shed Amid the Strains
of "iuld Lang Slnc."

Fort Riley, Kas.. May 17.-(Special)
At 3.A5 y. m. to-day a train of twenty
eight cars pulled out of here bearing the
headquarters and four troops of the Sew
cnth cavalry on their long journey to
their new station, Fort Grant, \. Il.
For the last day or two here every
thing has been hustle and hurry with
packing up and loading the train pre-
paratory to moving. BY Il o'clock to-
day everything was ready. At 2:30 as
sembly was sounded and the Seventh
was formed under arms ready to march
to the station. The Second cavalry
squadron, which remains here. was
formed. mounted, on Forsyth place and
the Seventh, with its band at the head.
marched past them, being given a salute
as they marched by, The Seventh then
formed line and the Second marched
past them. The march to the depot was
then taken up, the Second cavalry in
the lead, the Seventh following and the
artillery bringing up the rear. Arrived
at the station, the artillery took post
on the hills overlooking the station.
The Second cavalry was formed in line
opposite the depot and the Seventh was
formed in line on the platform ready
to embark. Then the time. till depar-
ture was devoted to leaVe-taking. The
Seventh has been SO identified with
this post and with Kansas that many
Junction City people Were over to say
good-hy. From the many moistened
eyes and the many and prolonged hand
shakes it was evident that the parting
was filled with sorrow for all. Such
bidding farewell to friends will bring
a lump into the throat of the stoutest
From the many and prolonged cheers
as the train pulled out, 1t was evident
that every human being here wished
our departing comrades the heartiest
kind of a God speed on their long Jour-
ney and in their new homes.
The service of the Seventh is too well
known to need recaptulation here, but
never did a regiment march out of a
post in more precise and military stvle
than they did to-day. As the train
pulled out the band on the train played
AUD Lang Syne," and the booming of
the artillery on the hill reminded our
friends that our hearts will ever be
warm for them.

At the last annual session of the grand

by which the jurisdiction was divided into
three districts, managed and directed by
a district lodge possessing power to extend

daughter. without "a word of explanation,
hustled off to the Polytechnic Hospital.
There, to the horror of the girl, she was
grasped by four wiry doctors, strapped to
cot and hideous instrument of torture in
the shape of stomach pump was brought
into play. All the while the young girl was
yelling Justify Ito be allowed one word"
The doctors, of course, knew the ways of
their patients; of course they all ted that
way and denied that they took poison That
was TO be expected. They We're too old for
anything like that, and straightway, despite
the frantic protestations of the girl, who
was now lighter shade of yellow from pure
fear, they rammed the nozzle of the pump
down her thorax and pumped away.
After working for half an hour and fail
ing 10 bring anything nearer chloroform
than ellmasticated dinner TO the
surface, the physicians scratched their
heads and concluded that something was
wreng.

one. No" said the father, but she had an
empty chloroform bottle, and 1 judged"
OF course it was now the doctors turn
to look pale, and they quickly yanked
the pump out.
When the girl came to they questioned
her. why didn't you tell us about this
before we started?- asked the doctor.
You wouiun't give me a chance" re-
piled the girl. Il tried To tell you, but
when opened my mouth you rammed that
thing down my throat
1t then developed, says the Philadelphia
North American, that Carrie had been sim

ministered chloroform for external use, as
the doctor had directed. She had just fin
ished the bottle on her mother when her
father entered and saw the vial in her

with an tronic smile, fOreseeing how lie

biological statements. He pointed out
that III frog has soul ut all IT must

divided both the divided parts manifest
separately precisely the same kind OF pur-
posive action, though they do not cooperate.
The rational principles are specially
present in each, because these are rotb-

Metaphysical Society can hardly be said
to have had mind of its own on the ques-
tion whether a frog has u soul or not. And

the older head calculated that by rapid
and loud talking he could intimidate his
opponent. He, therefore, elevated his
voice to the pitch of one making an an
nouncement of fire in the house and
put his questions toward the witnesses
of the other side.
The result was amusing. The young
lawyer unconsciously drifted into the same
course. With every question of the older
lawyer he would interpose an answer or

OF his first effort. He was arguing at the
close of testimony in n case in which the
bankruptcy laws were involved. The late
Judge Humphries was the presiding JUS
tice. The lawyer had made special study
of the bankrupt statute that had Just
been passed, and felt he had the subject
well in hand. The cause was in an equitable
one and decided by the court. Judge Humph-
ries delivered an opinion adverse to the
new lawyer. The latter noted an appeal.

The young lawyers embarrassment is
far better founded, too. He knows that

instances of hasty burial have recently oc-

which excited naturally considerable emo
ton and have attracted public attention
to the necessity OF acquiring in every case
absolute proof of death before committing
the body 10 its last resting place, and it
cannot be said that the request is too
eXigeante.
1t is not to-day, only, however, that this
question has occupied the public mind for
Pliny signalized the danger of premature
inhumation and in the last century Brunier
dAblaincourt, in France tl742), and Hufe-
land, III Germany 1791l, called attention
to the uncertainty of the signs of death,
striking terror into the minds OF the pub
lie. This terror was naturally much eXag-
gerated and terrible stories were told on
the subject. Nevertheless, the fact re-
mains that people have accidentally been
buried alive, especially in the warmer cli-
mates.
One of the most celebrated cases of appar.
ent death was that of Vittorina Laforcade
and which was followed by judicial pro-
ceedings. This woman was in love with a
young man of her village, Emilio Bas-
