Army Marriages.

General Miles, as comm anding gen. eral of the army, has just been called upon to decide on somewhat delicate question in which military discipline was mixed up with moral and senti- mental considerations. As is well known, the army authorities regard 8 soldier married as soldier marred, es- pecially if the soldier is private, and commanding officers have often gone so far as to refuse permission to wed to the men under them. Recently chap lain out at Fort Assiniboin, in Mon tana, joined in the bonds of matrimony private stationed there and young woman who was working as domestic servant for the family of one of the off, cers. No permission for the wedding had been granted, and none had been asked. Next day the post commander reprimanded the chaplain severely, de- claring that his act was unauthorized and improper. The chaplain resented this and appealed to the adjutant gen. era1, from whom the case went to Gen. eraI Miles for final action. In rendering his decision General Miles says: "The course of the chaplain appears to be fully warranted by law and regulations. While the objection to soldiers marry ing is we'll recognized it is not prohib- ited by law or regulations, and the mil itary authorities are not, therefore, war ranted in intervening.

THE LITTLE OLD SHOE.

IS is only a tiny shoe
 That she touches with tender care, A cunning little bit of thing That baby used to wear. And she gently raises 1t to her lips And lovingly holds it there. It is worn and faded and old, But it brings up the happy past. She sadly sighs as she thinks of the joys That were too sweet to last. In fancy she sees little child As it gambols upon the floor. An elfike creature with golden hair Is cooing a baby song once more, And tear drops down on the tiny shoe That the beautiful dream child wore. "Ah, wel1," she sighs to herself, Iris. alas, the will of the fatesi used to be able to wear this shoe, But now take number eights.

Catch Fish With Wheels,

A curious plan for catching fish is used on the Columbia river. A number of wheels are set up in the middle of the stream, which as they turn round, catch up the fish and cast them into troughs by the river banks The salmon are then timed and sent all over the world.

 The relation of the diet to the hair has been tested by good authority. A diet consisting of beef, starchy materi- als and milk causes atrophy of the roots and falling of the hair. Probably no ar !. ticle of diet nourishes the hair so we'll as oats. A bald headed Scotchman who takes his porridge regularly is rarity. The poorest diet for the hair is milk. It is claimed that the loss of hair as the result of fever is largely due to the habit of feeding the patient almost ex- Clusively on milk diet, and it will be interesting to note the cases where those having fine heads of hair are known to live principally upon vegetable and grain foods

ARKANSAS SUGAR BEETS.
Experimental Crop Not Up to POssi
 bilities, But Good

AsHINGToN, Oct. 14-The Secre- tary of Agriculture has completed the anlysis of specimens of sugar beet raised in Phillips coupty. Ark. He reports chat this specimen shows a percentage Of ten-sixty-four one hundredths Of sugar on weight of the beets, tbat isi 100 pounds Of these beets would yield about II pounds of sugar. He says that this percentage will undoubtedly be ex- ceeded by analysis of beets from other counties when completed. He also says the beet samples from Ar kansas will average over a ton of sugar from ten tons of beets.
 Hon. G, A. A. Dean, of Little Rock, is here. Said he; we have a tremendous crop of apples in Ar kansas this year. The apples raised in the Ozark Mountains are of espe- cially fine flavor, and every year buyers from New York come down and purchase entire orchards. The buyers then ship the fruit to Europe as the product of the Empire State, and thus Arkansas does not get the credit that is her due. But our farmers get good money for their fruit, and do not complain.

TO CURE NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA

No trouble Is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and Spring remedies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any of the usual symptoms Of stomach weakness. Nervous dys- pepsia shows itself not In the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected;in others the bowels are constipated, with head aches; stiff others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite. with accu- mutation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 Mir. A. w Sharper of No. 6l Pros pect St., Indianapolis, Ind. writes as follows:
 "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets. l have been q sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable result. They sometimes gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. attribut- ed this to my sedentary habits, being q bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but l am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles. for l have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way. The above is written net for notoriety, but is based on actual fact. Respectfully yours,

A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miser- able condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of Ia grippe and reeogniz- ing 1t as dangerous he took immedi- ate steps to bring about speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded to make first trial of the medicine
 To say that is was satisfactory in it's results IS putting 1t very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and perman- ent cure. We have no hesitancy in recommending this excellent cough remedy to anyone afflicted with cough or cod in any form. - The Banner of Liberty. Iibertytown, Md. The D and 5O cent sizes for sale by W. L.

TIE LAST DAY,
TESTIMONY IN THE MUSE TRIAL
 ALL IN.
Nearly One Hundred Witnesses Not
 Examined.

Today, in the case of tho State vs j. M Muse. for the Killing of Dr. ! Beard, the defense rested, after ex- amining about twenty witnesses
 The State then examined a number on rebuttal, after which tho court adiourned in order to give time for the preparation of instructions. The ease will be argued this afternoon and tonight, and the case will prob ably go to the jury tomorrow morn ing. Many witnesses for the defense were not examined
 The defendant, Muse, being placed 1 upon the stand, testified that at various and sundry times there had i been communicated to him by sey eral different parties threats made l by the deceased that if he (the de fendant) did not apologize for what he had done to the deceased he would kill him, and also that the de- ceased had at various times uttered slanderous remarks about the de- fendant and the female members of his family; that on the day before the killing he went to Warner and while there Mir. B. 4. Wyatt told him that short lime before that he had met Dr. Beard at Il picnic on the river; that at the picnic he got acquainted with Dr. Morley, and Dr. Morley introduced him to Or. Dye. That Dr. Dye as an old friend of the de- fendant, and knowing that the tle- fendant lived at Yorktown, he asked the deceased "How is my old friend. Muse. getting alone?" That the de- ceased replied, "f don't have any thing to do with Muse; he is not my kind of folks, he has got uo resent ment about hiB; he has got no re- sDpct for himself his family, or any body else, and hs women folks are all whores. That the defendant then asked Mr Watt who else heard that talk by Dr. Beard, and Wyatt informed him that Dr. Morley heard il and was then up stairs in Wyatt's room; that they went up to the room and Wyatt asked pr. Morley to tell him what Dr. Beard had said about Muse's family, and that Dr. Morley therenpou detailed to him the same conversation. That the next morning, when the defendant was passing through York ktown, he saw Dr. Beard standing in the door of McEntire's store, and got down off his horse to call his attention to the sian ders he had heard that the deceased was circulating about his family, and that when he spoke to the deceased about it, the deceased replied, "Yes, and g-d d--m you, I'll fix you, and whirled to go into the store; that the defendant think ing, probably, the deceased was go- ing after weapon, shot him as he turned into the door.
 The strongest evidence for the State was the testimony given by several members of the Grand Jury which indicted Muse. They testified lHdt muSe Sdl1 beiofe the NFahd Jury that when he left home that morning with his Winchester rife, he did not inteEd to kill Dr. Beard, but as he rode by and saw him standing in the door he looked so Cd d-m contemptible heconeluded he would just get down and kill hlm.
 In testifying, MT. Muse denied hat he made this statement to the Grand Jury. He testified that he only got down and called Dr. Boards atten- tion to the remarks that he had made.
 The order for the arguments has not as yet been arranged
