BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
The Method Of Conducting Wafer
 Fully Discussed.

The principal business bafo1e the beard of supervisors yesterday was William Gilson, who had entered into a contract with the board to prepare the county poor farm for cultivation, plant it in alfalfa, construct irTigating ditches and perform what other ser vice might be required. In considera- ticn of all this he was to receive $5 an acre and other emoluments in the form of the first years crop. MT Gilson had not yet made the ditches. He claimed that the contract did not con- tain all the matter agreed upon in con- versations with members of the board. He had understood that the county was going to pay for surveying the tract with reference to the making of the ditches. The members Of the board said that such a survey had not been contemplated, and furthermore was unnecessary. They asked MT. GiI- sen, as if it were an easy thing to do,

A number of signal men, now on duty with the British channel squadron, which arrived at Gibraltar this morn ing, have been ordered home for ser vice, it is presumed on the British auxiliary cruisers, if the latter should be desired for active service.
 It was also asserted today that the commanding officers of the Lcndon volunteer regiments received orders to prepare for mediate mobilization, and it was asserted that the different ar tillery corps have been informed as to the forts on the southern and eastern coasts to which they have been allct- ted.
 The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says: England has been and even new is so near war that the govern ment has carried it's preparations to the fsrthest limit of the preparatory stage

THE COURSE.

if he could not run furrows through the land without an~ official survey. The tone of the question as well as the fact that the matter had been un- der a more CT less heated discussion all day., irritated MT. Gilson. He re- piled that he had been anxious to have the thing dcne right; he had wished to avoid running the waiter up hill in direct violation of a pretty well estab- lished law of nature. However, if the board wanted the water conducted hap hazard he thought he could do it that way.
 Arrangements were also made for the removal of the inmates Of the county hospital to their new home. That will be begun tomorrow.
 Election officers in precincts which had been previously passed were ap- pointed, and routine business incidient to the beginning of a month was traDs- acted.

REPUBLICANS TO WIN.
So Believes Sam Kimble of Manhat
tan-But a Hard Fight.

Sam Kimble of Manhattan, stalwart
Democrat, came down to Topeka to see
the Battle of Manila.
Mr. Kimble is one of the leaders of
the Cleveland Democracy in Kansas
and Col TomlinsOn has been dependlr g
upon him to help arrange for the
straight out ticket but the Manhattan
man shows no disposition to take part
in any convention.
THE Democrats that are fighting the
PopuIists are most of them disappolnted
because they failed to secure Offices and
I have no sympathy with anything of
the kind. There are no national issues
involved this year and 1 am keeping
strictly out of politics and am not in
favor of having another convention.
This will be a hard fight this year in
Kansas. but my guess would be that
the Republicans will win. But nave
noticed a great many disgruntled Re-
nubIicans They are men who seem to
want to commend many things that the
PODuIists have done and it seems to me
that such a sentiment is dangerous to
the Republicans. It is usual that the
people that are in have the disadVan-
tage because they are on the defen-
Sive.'
Mr.. Kirnble did not say whether or
not he will vote the Republican state
ticket this year. Some Democrats in
the Fifth district have tried to get him
to consent to be the Democratic candl-
date for congress but he has refused.
He SAYS that Calderhead is not as
strong as he was two years ago because
he has participated in the postott1ce
fights in the district but that If there Is
a Democratic candidate in the held ne
will be elected.

Editor In Chief (angrily)-What does
this mean, sir? The paper will be the
laughing stock of the town. Here we
print an elaborate criticism of a new play
which we stated was presented last night,
but which everybody knows was not pro-
duced at all. The star met with an acct
dent, and the theater was closed.
Managing Editor-Our dramatic critic
had attended the rehearsals, and his criti-
cisIn was prepared in advance. Instead of
coming to the office to notify US not to
publish it, he sent a messenger, but the
message was not delivered. Our critic is
much to blame for trusting such an i'm
portant matter to a chance messenger,
and intend to make an example of him.
Editor In Chief-Good Order him to
attend all the amateur performances

MATRIMONIAL SCHEME.
The old Beau and the New Woman Have
Litt1e Chat.

The Old Beau and the New Woman Have
a little Chat.
They were discussing woman s advance
ment, matrimony and the favors of for
tune
Just think of the inequality of things
In this worldr' said the new woman
There is that little snip of barely 10
years who is to be married next week who
Is worth fully 81, 600, 900. 1t is unjust
- quite agree with you, F" retorted the
old beau courteO0sly. 81 have given the
matter some thought, and it is apparent
to me that things are very unevenly and
unsatisfactory arranged in the matri-
monlaI market. If this young woman of
whom you speak is only Is, her dowry
should be not to exceed 500, 0Oo 1t is all
wrong giving pretty girls of IS dowries in
excess OF that. If one can't get married
at 3 with 800, 900 safely put away in the
bank, why, then there must be something
wrong with her.
"And in that case?" suggested the new
woman.
''In that case it might be proper to give
an additional inducement of $50, 600 when
she is 19.''
And if she still remains singleP''
"Add to it again at go
ooof'' 800 ~ T'OO'
Precisely And if that were not suff-
SASAO W OC41i RG any Ou0; WOulQ D6RlQ aOC-
ing 100000 a year In that way we
would sort of equalize the chances and
make up for deficiencies in beauty and
temper
The new woman laughed.
But can't you see, - she said, ''that you
would be offering inducements to women
to remain single?''
Certainly, - he replied.
"And in that way you would be defeat
ing your own purposeY'
Not at all, - he asserted.
81 don't quite follow your course of
reasoning" she said.
Madam" he answered, 81 am sur
prised that you, who are supposed to have
made a study Of your own sex, should
speak in this way. Such system would
increase woman's opportunities, and I
supposed it was a well known fact that all
woman wants is an opportunity
1t is not known yet what the grudge
was that the old beau had against the new
woman, but as she was So and single it
was evident that his aim was to do more
than advance an excellent theory.-Chi-

MONEY FOR GAME THOMAS.
$1,5oO,ooo to Be Paid Out to volun-
teers.

! Chickamauga Park, Tenn, Aug. q
| The two main subjects of interest at
| Camp Thomas at present are the. ex-
| pected arrival of the paymasters to-
| morrow and the expedition which 1t is
| reported is being arranged in Washing
| ton for Major General Wade. The pay
| masters are expected to get in at an
| early hour tomorrow morning and to
| begin their work before noon. The
| total to be paid will be nearly 81, SOC, 00O
Nothing has yet been heard from
Wade's expedition. The impression pre-
walls that General Wade will take with
him the regiments best fitted, no matter
to what corps or divisions they may be-
long and every regiment is now at
tempting to impress its fitness and its
right to be included in the expedition.
In one regiment petition to the war
department is being circulated and lib
orally signed.
General Breckenridge, the new COM
mander of Camp Thomas, is expected
to arrive tonight and take charge to-
morrow.
Brigadier General Franks assuming
command temporarily, did not necessi-
tate his giving up his division for any
time and he will be in command at both
corps and division headquarters until
General Breckenridge arrives to relieve
him.
Recently the boys of the Fifth Hi
nois had their fun, and now Colonel
Culver will have his inning. He has
announced that every nOn-commissiOned
officer who took part in the demonstra-
ton last week after the regiment was
recalled will be reduced to the ranks.
This work is to be commenced at once
and new men appointed in their places.
Colonel Culver says his regiment has
had a good reputation for years and he
intends to sustain it. He added:
4 have ordered all of these nOn-cOm-
missioned officers reduced, that is, those
who were absent without leave.
Judge there was about a dozen of them.
IN, rI1n nf he
ing absent without leave will be fined
by the field court"
The new camp of the Fifth has been
thoroughly cleaned and now presents
a pretty appearance. The sick report
shows a remarkable decrease since the
new camp has been pitched, and the
officers of the regiment expect but little
trouble hereafter on account of sick
ness.
The regular drills have been resumed
in the Fifth and now everything is
working smoothly.
The Second Kentucky is expecting the
equipment for the recruits recently ar
rived in a few days. Up to this time
the recruits have been compelled to
drill and work with just what clothing
they brought with them and this was
not very much. 1t is stated that nearly
all of the recruits have been without
shoes and clothing and their position
has been anything but enViable.

REED ON WAR ISSUES.
Hopes They Will Be Settled in
Accordance With Traditions.

Portland, Me. Aug. AT the Re
publican district convention today
Thomas B. Reed spoke as follows:
Z am very grateful for your contin-
ued kindness to me, and, being in Port
land it is suitable for me to come here
and say so.
L have no other purpose than this.
A newspaper the other day announced
that I would come here and open the
campaign. This is not so. I shall not
open any campaign for the simple reas-
on that there seems to be no campaign
to open.
In this district there appears to be
thus far great harmony in both parties
as to the great issues of the past and
snail leave to somebody else the task
OF disturbing it. All over the country
there is a dearth of political feeling.
never knew less of it in all the years
in which have known of such things
To me this seems fortunate for the
country. I do not refer to the war
alone The war is taking care of it
self and seems likely to be soon finished
by the fighting qualities of our soldiers;
qualities not diminished by thirty-three
years of peace, and by the skill of our
naval gunners, engineers and sailors,
winch skill the general education of
our people seems to have wonderfully
increased. The unfaItering courage of
both soldiers and sailors is a cause of
pride to every American.
The problems after the war will be
the most troublesome and will demand
the most earnest efforts of US all For
my part hope that all these. problems
may be worked out consistently with
our time hOnOred and dearly bought
institutions and with the traditions of
our wise fOrefathers.
Returning to the purpose for which
/ came here, I renew my thanks to your
continued and unvarying good will
That good will permit me to say. has
not consisted half so much in bestow-
ing and continuing to bestOw on me a
position of distinction, as it has in the
large Hoerty you have always given me
in interpreting your wishes am
proud to say that that consideration is
not the characteristic of my district
but of the whole state of Maine
