incident goes to show how strict the West
Point tactical department is becoming.
Romeyn had charge of his company and
noticed some of his men turning their
heads 10 see a runaway horse crossin g
the drill grounds. A tactical officer hap
pened along. as is generally the case when
not wanted Romeyn saw the tact" and
irstinctively felt that. unless the men
were called to attention, several new
names would grace the skin hook" that
night
Keep your eyes to the 'front.'" sharply
ordered the captain.
Had Romeyn said no more he would
still command Company c, but. seeing a
man turn his head, again, he called out:
Turn your eyes If you want to see things;
but remain quiet and face the front"
This was In direct viola ton Of the reg
ulatons, which forbid men gazing curious
~ about when in the ranks.
The tactical officer heard the first order
and its sequel, and at once reported Ro-
meyn for giving uhmllitary commands.
The commandant of cadets made short
work of the affair. His sentence was that
cadet captain Romeyn should discard his
gold chevrons and sword and carry for
the remainder of his school days at the
academy Krag-Jorgensen@ rifle.
Homeyn is a member of the foot ball
team and one of the most popular cadets
at West Point He is known to many

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.
FOur Out of Eight Dead; Three Des-
pernteIy Ill.

Valdosta, Ca, Oct 2.-The death
of Mrs. NJ NJ Overstreet, In
the upper part of the county Friday night,
adds another link to one of the saddest
stories that has been written among the
events of this county. She is the fourth
to die in the family in the past few
weeks three grown daughters having pre-
ceded her to the grave In that time. Three
sons and another daughter are desperately
i'll and the father and husband is almost
distracted over the terrible afliction that
has befallen him.
Mr.. Overstreet is an industrious, honest
and hard working farmer His wife was
an excellent woman, domestic, wen raised
and 'womanly woman" They had sew
en children, four daughters and three
sons and up to a few weeks ago a health
Ter looking family could not be found The
oldest daughter was taken i'll with typhoid
fever and after lingering a few weeks, she
died. While her remains were being car
ried to the burial ground, the next two
daughters were in bed with the same dis
ease. A week later one of them died. A
week passed again and the other died. In
the meantime Mrs. Overstreet and the
youngest daughter were taken with fever
The family was moved to another house
but the change made no check in the
progress of the disease. The three sons
were taken III and there is little hope now
that either of them will recover The
youngest daughter is improving, but is
still unable to lift her head from her pill
low.
Already four of the family have died
and the three sons are almost beyond the
hope of recovery. That such terrible af-
Fiction should be visited upon one family
is one of che mysteries of providence that
is past finding out. The picture is, indeed.
the saddest to those who have witnessed
it that ever occurred in this section

NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS.
As Merchapdise They Are Sometimes
Very Valuable.

As Merchandise They Are Sometimes
Very Valuable.
The most notable, as well as the most
trustworthy history Of the war with Spain
will be the day by day record of the daily
newspapers That was not so of the civil
war, because the newspapers of thirty
five years ago did not have the telegraph
facilities of the great number of CORE
spondents that have helped the newspa-
pers gather each days facts for the next
days paper in the three-months' conflict
just closed.
But, limited as were the opportunities
Of the press during the civil war, the
value of its records was recognized in
very remarkable way when Columbia Col
lege gave $4,000 some years ago for
scrap book history of that war, known as
the Townsend collection.
At that time scrap collecting was not
a business. To-day press clippings are
merchandise, and in scrap-book form they
supply valuable feature of a great many
libraries. u
There have been some curious develop
meuts of the scrap-b book enterprise dur
ing the war with Spain. Lieut.. Hobson s
exploit was celebrated in a hundred thou
sand ways, ranging from the jest of a
Photographer to the ponderous editorial in
a London journal. The collection is so
great that the modest income of a naval
constructor would hide it's head at the
value of these clippings. But no doubt
some of the lieutenants admirers will
make him present of the books. Admi-
raj Dewey's achievement is recorded In
many thousand of clippings, all carefully
mounted. Admiral Sampson may have
complete collection of the editorials of
praise and criticism on his bombardment
of San Juan and his report of the de-
struction of Cervera's fleet. Roosevelts
Rough Riders fill several books
Some of this work, as has been said
has been done on speculation, but much
of 1t is order work. The veterans of the
Seventy-first New York Volunteers order
ed at the beginning of the war full set
of clippings about that regiment. A New
York paper, which has undertaken to re-
place the library of the Unit
ed States steamship Texas, thrown
overheard at Santiago, ordered a
scrap-book history of the vessel to
form feature of the new library. A big
merchant I'm New York city has ordered
a scrap book of each of the ten New York
city regiments at the front, intending to
present them to the regiments on their
return. The family of Ensign Worth Bag
ley are to have a collection of the beau
tiful tributes to his heroism from the
newspaper press.
The collection OF scraps about the war
is going right on, and the files of all
the newspapers in the United States will
be dissected until there is not a war sub
Ject In them left unclassified.

THE BIG BUG ROAD.
Construction Work Awarded to s. R
 H. Robinson of Phoenix.

The proposals for building the Big Bug railroad were received at Pres colt on Monday. There were large number of railroad contractors pres ent, among them being representa- tive of the company which built the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix from Ash Fork to this city. The contract was awarded to s. R. H. Robinson of Phoenix, who has associated with him Donald Grant and A. H. Linton, of Minnesota, two of the best known railroad builders in the northwest.
 MT. Robinson arrived in Phoenix last evening in company with Presi- dent F. M. Murphy of the s. F. P. & F., who arrived about o'clock by spe- cial train. MT. Robinson was seen by reporter for The Republican soon after his arrival He said that the work of grading would begin about the first of March. The work will be pushed through, and the road will be ready for business by the first of Sep tember.
 MT. Robinson has had long experi- ence in this line of work, and that he stands high in the estimation of rail- road men is shown by the action of the s. F. P. & P. officials in putting the construction of the Big Bug road in his hands. While Messrs. Grant & Linton are associated with Mr. Rob inson, they will leave the work almost entirely to him.

PHOENIX CRIMINALS CAPTURED
A Brace of Railroad Ticket Thieves
 Run to Earth in Chicago.

Justice has a hard hand, an iron hand, but when it lays it on it's vic tim there is no metallic clangor The touch is as noiseiess as the falling of a feather or a snowdrop. Some time nearly a year ago the M & P depot in this city was burglarized and a lot of railroad tickets were stolen Outside the officials it was not known that the crime had been committed. The officials knew it and also knew, though the proof was not immediately available who did it. The suspects soon after left town and went east. The railroad company began the ac- emulation of evidence, worked at it steadily through Chief Crowley of the San Francisco detective force, and early this year had made out a case.
 The only thing lacking was the ap- prehension of the thieves and it was not known precisely where they were. It was not anticipated. though. that there would be great difficulty in find- ing them. Places where they had been known to be lately were Indian apolis and Cincinnati.
 About three weeks ago Chief Crew ley arrived in Phoenix one Mo day morning and procuring a requisiliOn from Governor McCord upon the gov ernors of Ohio and Indiana. left the same night for the east. His move ments here for obvious reasons were attended by the greatest secrecy. Some tune after his departure he sent back for a requisition upon the governor of 1 Illinois.
