journals, as inficting great suffering
and hardships on the troops, the SOL
diers had more OF almost everything
than their own men had at numerous
times during the civil war. Not a
single witness has even implied either
neglect or guilt or the part of any
official of the War Department. Gen.
Francis Y. Greene, who participated
in the Manila campaign, thinks the
principal trouble in looking after the
troops during the war was that army
regulations fitted for a time of peace
were inadequate to meet the sudden
exigencies of war, and he said in his
testimony: The only suggestion
that l would make is that the army
regulations, which are now based on
departments and posts be adapted
more for troops in active campaign.
These regulations are framed for a
state of peace; they do not fit the
needs of war

Yesterday afternoon a special meet
Ing of the board of county commissions
ers' Committee on fnauce was held for
the purpose Of apportloning the tax

by the state board of public works. OF
the committee the following members
were present: Chairman Hare. and

poratIons taxed, the largest assessment
IS that Of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling &
Kentucky company. s25S,2A 50. The
board made the epportIonments in IA
manner that is departure from pre-
eious years, in that tine apportionment
for the city of Wheeling was not sub
divided into amounts for each Of the
seven districts In the city. Clerk Moffat,
OF the board, has often said that this
subdivision was not necessary, and at
yesterdays session of the committee

in which the same position was taken,
the reason given being that the corpor-
ate limits Of the city are also the limits
OF the Independent school district OF
Wheeling. The apportlOnment was as
follows:

ruins. The anhydrade is ammonia in its
most powerful state and its ignition would
result in an explosion which would cause

that precautionary methods will avert

FOUR STORY BLOCK
Wichita Produce Company
Will Build.
ON FIFTH AVENUE
Purchased Property For a
Site Yesterday.
FIFTH AVENUE

Yesterday Johnson & Frazier, prophet
ors of the Wichita Produce company.
closed the purchase of lots u to 30 on
North Fifth avenue for a figure a little
less than $4,000. The property was sold
Through Chas. Freeman, and the prOpri-
etors of the produce company will put up
a four-story brick block for wholesale
purposes.
Mr.. Frazier, of the firm, could not tell
last night just what would be the dimen-
sions of the new block nor just when
work would begin. This movement by
one of the important wholesale concerns
of the city is indicative of Wichita's fu-
ture There have been several wholesale
businesses developed here from small be-
gninings, A city will grow, will become
great when its, business pays. The Wlch-
tia Produce company is the third whole
sale concern that has taken steps within
the last three months to put up buildings
of it's own.
No such steps are taken unless the
business yields a moderate return at least
and promises more.
There is now talk of two more roads
for the city. one TO parallel the Arkansas
river and an extension Of the Midland
into the rich mineral fields Of the Indian
Territory. 10 connect with the Frisco TO
the southwest and south Arkansas. Bush
ness men are becoming more confident at
