The discipline of the camp Is rigid.
The soldier gives up his liberty when
he enlists. His business is to obey.
Army life has a marked influence in
teaching men self-control and making
them orderly. It falls out when a
man enlists who has a bitof wild blood
In him, that under the restraints of
army discipline he becomes a quiet.
civil fellow, or he is worked out of the
service. The gun now in use is known
as the Kruge-Jorgensen rife. It has
six shells 1t can be used for single
firing, or as a magazine gun. By
turning lever the magazine with its
six shells is shut; then you can in
sert cartridge for every time you fire.
The gun is cooked in she process of
loading it; by another lever, if de-
sired, you can secure yourself against
a premature discharge. It is not
very warlike looking affair, yet one of
its steel-covered bullets will pass
through a tree 12 inches in diameter
and kill the man that is hiding behind
it. A company of soldiers standing on
Pilot Knob could keep out of the Val
ley an army armed with the old fash
Toned musket. This new gun has a
range of two miles and half and can
be discharged forty times in minute.
The old sutler system has been discon-
tinued. Now, every post has store,
or cante0n, as it is called. Some one
is appointed to conduct the store. He
buys and sells to the boys at a good
profit, usually commencing on thirty
days credit for his purchases. His
supplies consist of beer, dry goods, and
other miscellaneous things that soldiers
formerly bought from the sutler. The
profits are divided among the different
troops. If the profits amount to a dol
lar man per month, troop of fifty
men would receive fifty dollars. This
is not paid to the individual soldier,
but it is expended in procuring for
him supplies not furnished by the gov
eminent. So that beefsteak, spring
chicken, and other luxuries become
part of a soldiers bill of fare. There
is no store of the kind mentioned at
the Rife Range; the boys club and
buy these luxuries. but no profit ac-
crues to any one. 4 statement of the
business done by the canteen is issued
at the end OF each day, and council
oyerhauls the books and directs ex-
penditures each month. Any soldier
can buy for citizen, but citizens can't
trade with the store. The boys have
made fine progress since coming to
their new grounds with their new
guns. Captain Hunter, SO far, has
proved to be the best marksman among
them. We are under obligations to
Sergeant Lehman for much of the in
formation we have obtained. The
boys were vastly pleased with the gen
erous patronage their entertainment
received at the hands of our citizens.

AN AUDACIOUS TRAMP.
He Curses and Abuses a Lady Because She Refuses
 Him Food.

Yesterday afternoon while Mrs. Murtaugh, wife of Capt. J. D. Murtaugh. was alone at her home in Che West End white tramp came to the door and begged for food. The lady told him that she had nothing to give him. He began to grumble and she asked him to leave the yard. This angred the man and he began abusing and cnrsing the lady in an outrageous manner.
 Mrs. Mnrtaugh telephoned the matter to the officials and soon after the tramp was arrested by Policeman Stewart. This morning he was tried before Justice Alexander for his offense and was fined $50 and costs and sentenced to sixty days on the county farm. The man said his name was Henry Gordan. It will be a long, time before he will be able to follow his avocation as 0 tramp, and his sojourn on the farm may learn him the pleasures of honest toll.

SOYEREIGN's HOME.
The Great Labor Leader Will Have Apples and Cool Air Next Sum-

A recent dispatch from Sulphur Springs, Ark, Mir. Sovereign's home, says:
 "Grand Master Soyereingn, of the Knights of Labor, is too busy to sell those 1000 barrels of apples he put in his natural cold storage cave when they were worth one dollar barrel, albeit, they are now worth twice as much. In fact, he is so busy that he won't have time to sell those apples before next July and he won't be to blame if they are worth $5 d barrel then,
 Mir. Sovereign is busy mauling fence rails and so much in earnest in the work that today he broke a ten pound maui He is making for himself a home and when he com pletes it he will defy the heat oi summer. It is to be of rough stone and stand just in front of his apple cave, to which it will be connected by pipes through which an electric fan will drive cool air into the domicile. It's a great scheme and has already found new conyert-Mr. Stillwell, President of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Trust Company who owns a lot and a cave and is going to share summer resort temperature along with Mir.

which reciprocity arrangements effected be-
tween the United States and a number OF foreign
countries and dependencies. including Austria Hun

American States The effects OF the sudden abro-

countries mentioned were exceedingly serious and

port of the Ways and Means Committee. which will
be submitted to the House OF Representatives be-
fore the end OF the present session.
OF course no reciprocity legislation can be ex-
