Marriage for Soldiers.

The post commander at Fort ASSN
iboin, Mont, recently reprimanded
Post Chaplain Bateman because the
latter had officiated at the marriage OF
q non-commissioned officer and a
young woman at the post, says the
New York World. The whole affair
was stigmatized unauthorized and
improper" but the chaplain didn't
think so, and prom pity appealed. He
held that no authority was known to
exist which can grant or deny permits
sion to enlisted men to get married
and that his authority to perform the
marriage ceremony is in no way de-
rived from the military establishment.
The post commander held that no
married men were wanted in the SER
vice and special authority was not
only required to re-enlist q married
man but also to marry one. General
Brooke, commanding the department
Of Dakota, through whose hands the
papers passed. pronounced Chaplain
Bateman's act perfectly lawful and
proper" but favored some rule being
adopted which might prevent enlisted
men from marrying while In the SER
vice. Maj.-Gen. Miles comments as
follows upon the points at issue: THE
course of Chaplain Bateman appears
fully warranted by law and regula-
tons. While the objection to soldiers
marrying is well recognized it is not
prohibited by law or regulations, and
the military authorities are not, there
fore. warranted in intervening. As
neither the soldier nor his wife are
entitled to claim or privilege from the
government during his service on &C
count of marriage, under proper admin
istration, no detriment to the service
need result" The major general re-
marks further that "the evil conse-
quences likely to result from prohib-
iting the marriage of soldiers would
no doubt far exceed those existing un-
der present conditions"

Gen. Clusters Horse.

Almost every day newspaper read
ers see a paragraph telling how the
government takes care Of old Conan
che, Clusters horse, the only survivor
OF the Custer massacre, says the De-
troit Free Press. The paragraph al
ways tells how by special order of
the military authorities Comanche is
provided with a comfortable stall. fit
ted up especially for him, out in Da-
kota. No one, so the story goes, is al
lowed to ride him, and he is not per-
mitted to do any work whatever.
Then. as one writer put it feelingly
few days ago: 'Riddled with bullets
and SCARED by saber wounds, his body
speaks eloquently of the perilous duty
once performed in his twenty-five
years of service under the government.
He will so down to history holding
about as proud place as that accord
ed to the gallant black charger that
once carried Gen. Sheridan to the
field in time to save the battle, twenty
miles away" Once all this might have
been said with every indication OF
truth. The paragraph, however, with
various additions and changes, has
made the grand rounds just as regu
larly as the good old sea-serpent story
Still there must be an end to all things,
and the Comanche paragraph ought to
be ended after this letter: Il mail you
today picture of Comanche as he ap-
peared in life. We do not possess any
photograph of him as he appeared in
his stall. He died from old age at Fort
Riley, Kas., Nov. Z, 1891, and was 81
years old. He belonged to the Sew
enth regiment Of United States cav
airy, and was cared for with great
tenderness by the regiment. Upon his
death he was skinned and mounted by
Prof. Dyche Of this university and
placed in our museum.
"F. H. SNOW,
Chancellor University of Kansas.
Thus 1t will be seen that, according
to the newspapers, Comanche, though
dead, still liveth. Perhaps it is be-
cause the man who writes the para
graph has not yet learned TO distin-
guish between a stuffed and live ami
NAL.

Texas, June 17.-Ewdard Kilgore,
contractor, and builder, met his death at
the hands of Miss Fanny jackson and her
three brothers today. Kilgore was sitting
in the waiting room at Ladonia station
when Miss Jackson, accompanied by a
sister and three brothers, entered. The
girl drew a revolver and fired at Kilgore.
The bullets went wide and struck her
brother, Brode jackson, in the forehead,
killing him instantly.
Kilgore dashed down the railroad track
behind some freight cars, but Bud jack
son, another brother intercepted him and
shot him in the back. After Bud jackson
had emptied his revolver, Miss jackson
walked up and fired three more shots into
Kilgore, exc laiming: you coward, you
have slandered me long enough"
Examination showed that nine shots
had taken effect, any one of which would
have proved fatal ,fHs
