WASHINGTON, June 20. The return
Of General Miles TO Washington from
Tampa had an inspiring effect on the
war preparations. The general had a
busy day calling upon Secretary Alger,
consulting the chiefs of the staff de.

tho benefit of his observations at
Tampa. Secretary Alger said that he
was entirely satisfied with the condi.
ton of the troops as reported by Gen.
eral Miles. Plans are moving forward
steadily for sending further expeditions

present is the equipment Of an expedi.

heretofore discussed, with Porto Rico
as the objective point. A month ago
the military authorities were satisfied
that a small force would be sufficient
to occupy Porto Rico, as the Spanish

a much larger invading army will be

SICK SCHOOL CHILDREN.
A Teacher Speaks of the Cause.

I have charge of the second grade in the public schools here, and trace near ly every case of headache among these children to improper feeding. When a sick child is asked what was had for breakfast, the reply almost universally includes cup of coffee.
 An illustration is that of my sister S oldest boy, Will Wilson of Lennox, Ia. For long time he had no appetite for breakfast, but insisted on coffee, which they would give him, weakened some with cream, but no matter how little coffee he had, it brought on his bad spells. Since they have been using Postum Food Coffee in their family the boy is well and can have all of the Pos tum Coffee he wants for breakfast.
 was ordered by my physician to quit the use of coffee some time ago, for my sick spells were directly traceable to it, but could not quit it's use until I found Postum. Then the change did not dis turb me in the slightest. The old trou- bles have disappeared.
 I have a long list of friends who use Postum and enjoy it very much, but in every case they have had to learn that Postum is only good when it is boiled long enough to bring out the flavor. Margaret Scroggs, 24 W. 10th St., Hutchinson, Kan.

poli,s Wonderland Theater.

The bill this week is great one and longer than usual, having eleven acts, and it was excellent throughout, as good as any in the big New York houses at much higher prices. Nine pretty girls in the aerial ballet formed the chief feature, and made beautiful array in the brilliant many colored lights. Willard Simms, a very near en- tertainer, sang number of new topi- cal songs and mimicked the foibles of the chorus girls and the concert hall singers to perfection. His bashful student" in the ball room, in which he is assisted by Miss Jennie Graham, is a very catchy thing. In the bill, be- sides these features, are the Bijou Comedy Three, the Misses Darelle and Mellaro, who are excellent musicians; Alen and Delmain, the Naval ballet, Rainza and Arno, Clements Marshall and Little Sunshine, Mile Adele, with shadowgraphs, and Lester and Jerman. Prices 10c and 20c. Ladies In the after noon, 10c.

 Hall Yesterday Afternoon.
 Very few of the four hundred ladies bidden to attend the reception given by Mrs. John M Hall in honor of the introduction into society of her daugh- ter, Miss Florence, yesterday afternoon, failed to avail themselves of the oppor- tunity. The interior of the beautiful residence at 23 Hillhouse avenue was made more beautiful by the striking and effective decorations. A different color prevailed in each of Che rooms. The dining room was in pink, the recep- tion room in green and white the lib- rary in red, and the music room in vel low. It was withal a very artistically decorated house. The hours were from 4 to '.
 Miss Hall, who has been educated in Torrington, had three of her classmates assist her in receiving the guests. They were Miss Schenck of Dayton, O.; Miss Pardee of Germantown, Pa, and Miss Hickok of Harrisburg, Pa.

 MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
Lecture by Hon. A. R. Conklin.

Lecture by Hon. A. It. ConRiln.
 Hon. A. R. Conklin of New York de- uyered a lecture on Municipal gover1l- ment" in Osborn hall last evening He discussed the practical workings or municipal health boards, police courts and the management and control of city gas water, electric lighting plants and street railway lines. He said, he be- lieved, that health boards should be given broad enough power to insure the achievements of health regulations. The importance of proper health regulations he said. was illustrated by the camp at Chickamauga, where typhoid fever broke out in the healthful country on account of the lack of health regula- tions.
 He emphasized the importance of re- forms in securing good men and to pre- side over police courts and said that when this reform had been secured it might be well to adopt the English method of letting the aldermen try po- lice court cases, serving without re- mEncration.
 Ea said that the great objection to municipal control of city gas plants was the fact that they are very apt to get under the control of corrupt politi- cal rings. Few American cities control their own gas plants. The next lecture in the course will be given December [.

PECCARIES.
Pigs That Kill Partners and Bears

Digs That Kill Partners and Bears
 The cowboys of Spangler ranch had three full grown bears, captured al ore time or other in the Santiago noun tains. The bears wandered about the ranch and stables, eternaly Tn some mischief, but nobody feared them' as they were always good -humored ana playful. Over at Tom Ray ranch, near Los Chisos, the boys owned tWo- vear-old Mexican lion, or panther
 That sort of pet will always become dangerous by the time it is two years old, and this particular one was about the meanest lion ever caught m that section, and the boys of Tom Ray con cluded to fight him, if battle could De arranged, with the bears of Spanger.
 Before arrangements could be made
 Mexican Pope, a hunter for Spangler ranch discovered den of pe2caries, or wild Mexican hogs, as they are called in Texas. There's no animal on top of ground more unconquerable than pee cary. They are small round-bodied, yellowish- brown animals about the size of a auarter-groWn hog. They are covered with coarse bristles, the ridge down the DdCh anu dlOuS tlt ISNh pC- ing often five or six inches long. They sport long, curved, scimitar-like tusks,
 sharp az knife blades, and their dispo
 sitions are devilish They are tailless.
 There is no animal known which will face them voluntarily The band dis
 covered by Pope had for it's headquar-
 ters cave in a foothill of the moun- tain. The mouth of the cave was less
 than two feet in diameter, but the cave itself was fully forty feet wide and six ty feet long. Pope was hunting at the
 time and the musky odor of the pecca- res betrayed them. Luckily for Pope
 the band must have just returned from
 some excursion, as they were asleep at the time, and before they woke up Pope
 had corked up the entrance to the cave
 with rocks, which were thickly strewn about. ...
 When Pope returned to the ranch and told his story the cowboys proposed battle royal They sent word to Tom
 Ray Ranch, and the cowboys of that ranch brought over their Mexican lien. Meanwhile the boys had built a heavy rail fence about one hundred feet square and ten feet high about the cave. The next morning there were fifty cow boys of Tom Ray Ranch as many more from the Rocket Ranch, and nearly a hundred of the Spangler Ranch boys gathered together. The ground within the railed inclosure was clear of every obstacle, except four good-sized stunps, to each of which a bear or pan- ther was chained with a twenty-fcot chain. Each of the stumps had been squared off three feet above the ground.
 At one o'clock all was ready for the battle, except the peccaries. This part of the work was delegated to Red Jim, an Indian cowboy of Spangler with the betting two to one that Jim would get nipped before he could get out of reach of the infuriated peccaries. But Jim knew his business. He first rolIad stones and placed them several feet from the mouth to impede tte brutes should they get out too quickly for him. Then he slipped a lariat around the big stone which corked up the mouth of the cave. Retr6ating fifteen or twenty feet. he gave the lariat a strong pull
