THE HAMMOND AFFAIR.
Severe Sentence for the Rebellion
Private mt Fort Sheridan.


Private Mt Fort Sheridan,
Chicago, Oct. 12.-Charles Hammond
private, who was dragged by rope tied
to his feet from the guardhouse at Fort
Sheridan to post headquarters, began
at noon Monday to serve a 14-day SEN
tcnce in solitary confinement on bread
and water diet. This decision of the
summary court at Fort Sheridan deals
alone with Hammond's refusal to work
as a prisoner. The decision was ap-
proved by Col. Robert II. Hall, com
manding officer of the post. Capt Low
ering, the officer whose treatment of the
rebellious private created such strong
discussion in civic and army circles
alike, will undergo no investigation.
The whole affair will now probably be
reviewed by a general court-martial,
which will be assembled at the instance
of Gen. Brooke, department COM
mander.
Washington, Oct. l2.-Capt Lowering
will be court-martialed for his alleged
brutality to Private Hammond at Fort
Sheridan. This is the decision of the
war department, in case it be found
upon investigation that the facts ap-
proNimate the reports which have been
published in the newspapers. Secretary
Alger was very indignant when the de-
tails of the alleged outrage upon Private
Hammond were reported to him.

KANSAS CITY papers noted the pres
ence in that city of Bluejaclket, the last
big chief of the Shawnee Indians. He
is so years old, and was on his way to
Kansas to locate the grave of Prophet,
the Shawnee chief, who died in that
territory in 1889. This Prophet was a
brother of the famous chief Tecumseh,
and succeeded him as the head man of
the tribe. After Tecumseh's death he
led the Shawnees in the battle of Tip
pecanoe, in Indiana In 1926 he

Washington, Oct. 12.--The annual re-
port of the treasurer of the United
States will show that on June 80, 1896,
the total available assets of the treas
ury were $s55,6S5,32l and on June 30,
1897, they had increased to $S74, ,764, ,377.
or these sums $3OS, 1854, ,44S was available
on June 30, 1896 and $2s3, 1905, ,424 on
June 80, 1897, for the strictly fiscal oper-
ntions of the government. On June 80,
1896, S547, 7,330,973 and on June 30, 1897,
$591, ,46S,053 was held on deposit against
outstanding certificates and treasury
notes. In addition to the net ordinary
revenues, the treasury received SIS ,44s,-
97O in deposits for the retirement of
national bank notes and $3,250 in re-
funding certificates for conversion into
bonds, so that the total income avail
able for the fiscal operations of the year
was $363,173,025. AS against this there
was disbursed besides the ordinary ex.
pcnditures the sum of $11 ,37s,5o2 on nc
count of bonds and fractional currency,
and the further sum of $11 ,092 1855 in the
retirement of national bank notes, max
ing total of $3sS,245,017. The net loss
of available cash arising from these
operations, therefore, was $25 ,071 ,001.
In the issue of paper currency, the oper-
ntions of the year, which amounted to
1914, ,S4S,000 was exceeded in only one
Jear-1S02-and then by only a narrow
margin. The redemptions, amounting
TO $S30,710,02O, were also relatively
higher The presentation of national
bank notes for redemption increased to
such proportions as 10 overtax the ca
pacity of the force employed in count
ing and asserting, and required consid-
cradle advances to be made out of the
general funds of the treasury. BY an
increase of the force, however, the ar
rearage of work was brought up before
the close of the year.

ALToN'S RACE WAR.
freaks Out Again-Colored Children
storm School for Whites.


Alton, Ill.,, Oct. 12.-The race war in
the Alton schools broke out afresh Mon
day morning. Last week the colored
people stopped sending their children
to the schools for the whites, supposed
ly awaiting decision from the courts.
The police guards accordingly were
withdrawn. Monday morning the col
ored children appeared, and with a
rush overpowered the janitor, struck
down the principal and took seats. The
police were summoned and elected
them and school was held the rest of the
day with the police guarding the doors.
The board of education will appoint g,
truant officer, who will attempt to make
the colored children attend the schools
especially set apart for them. Serious
trouble seems imminent, as the colored
parents are persistent in sending their
children to the white schools.

the rate of about mile an hour. Its
extent was nearly 500 feet each way
and it contained much forest growth,
many of the trees being 80 feet high.

lieves that it is taken into the human
system either by air that is breathed or
water that is drank If the lining
membranes of the body are in a healthy
condition, it can not get through them

turbance of digestion, as by abuse of
alcoholic and iced drinks-above all in
persons newly arrived in countries
where the disease exists-gives oppor-
tunity for the entrance of the microbe.
