MILITARY ORGANIZATION
Stationed at Fit Reno said to be Extra
Fine

zone Of the finest battalions now in me
United States SERVICE" said George Israel
Yesterday, is that from Oklahoma, now
stationed at Fort Reno. o. T.. where II
was modified, and has been in constant
training since the middle Of July. The
battalion comprises five companies, four
OF which are from Oklahoma and one from
the Indian Territory. The unusual pro
CESS made by these troops in the acquiring
of the technical knowledge of soldiers sur
passes all previous experience, and re-
fleets unbounded credit upon the able Of
fcers in command of the battalion and its
component parts.
Major John 2. Stone of Guthrie has
been unrring in his efforts 10 secure for
his command the credit OF being the best
drilled body Of troops in the volunteeriser-
vice. and all accord to him the credit OF
success in the attainment Of this very
laudable ambition. He has been greatly
aided and the details Of the drill have
perhaps acquired their present perfect ex-
ecution through the experience and IN
defatigable efforts Of the captain and lieu
tenants Of the various companies, some
OF whom were already advanced well to-
ward perfection by previous study and
training. These in the order Of their rank,
are: Captain II. c. Barnes, son OF Gov
ernor Barnes; Captain Roy Hoffman, Cap
tain Robert A Lowry, Captain f. H.. Boyn-
ton and Captain Earle Edmundson. The
first lieutenants are: j. P. Neal, ]. j.
O'Rourke, H. A Plat, ]. NJ. Wheeler and
R X Cravens. The second heutenants
are: D B. ARIEL, G. L. Finley, John Nc
Fadgen, s. W. Sweitzer and c. A. Thomp-
son The command consists of over $40 en-
listed men, and attached thereto at the
present time the following staff officers:
Rev Job ingram. chaplain; W. P. Baker,
major, and Surgeon Ira 1. Morrison, adj
| jutant The battalion has now completed
the entire drill in both close and extended
order, has engaged in a number Of sham
! battles and attacks on imaginary foes, and
! exterminated large numbers of imaginary
! Spaniards.
"On Sunday, September 4, considerable
excitement was caused by the receipt OF
definite information that the battalion
would be retained in United States SER
vice, and this was followed soon after by
the further authentic information that the
| first move toward regimental organization
would occur at once by moving the bat
talon to Lexington, KY, to accomplish
which all efforts are now being made"
AS is usual where bodies of troops ac-
quire proficiency giving them soldierly
! appearance, a desire existed to retain a
memorial Of the organization Of the battal-
ion while its personnel remained unchang-
ed, and at the end of negotiations Mr.,
Israel was secured TO photograph the bat
! talon, in its formation at parade, and also
the several companies separately.
The photos will be sent to the Oklahoma
building at the Omaha exposition.
Mr.. Israel said yesterday that Fort Reno
was visited by a small-sized twister or
| Friday night. Major Stones tent was
blown away and he had over 5000 worth
of paraphernalia carried away and broker
by the severe wind.

Fine Dress Goods

Even when Dress Goods were
high priced people loved the

for 25c you can buy pure Wool

Goods are as good today, and
handsomer than ever, and the

ra- week while the federal court was

some illusions to the conduct OF the re-
form school at Topeka When asked 10'
an explanation. he said:
Mr.. Fred Sewers of your city, was as
sistant superintendent there for several
months. Ask him He can tell you bet
ter than /"
A represen eative of the Eagle saw Mr.
Savers and was handed a letter which
ne had some weeks ago written TO Gov
eraor Leedy.
After recounting some Of the most
l,qtbsone criminal practices known to
MN which Mr.. Sewers said Superintend-
4-1t Hart allowed the boys TO indulge, the
letter refers to the manner il which the
bows were punished. The letter in part
says:
These are the facts as I know them
and they can be sustained by oath of botn
myself and Captain Ayres OF Augusta,
Rev. Ash Of Holton and Mr.. Gilmore OF
Chase county. 1 informed Mr.. Hart OF
ebe awful criminal practice INDUCED in
by the boys and he told me it was none
OF my business. Early in January
Superintendent Hart ciloked new boy
sam Short, Of Atchison, into insensibility,
wlae officer Anderson and Captain Ayres
held him down on the floor Of the base
nent Of a. cottage. Captain Ayres told
me that they thought Hart had killed the
boy. They had TO throw water in his
face to revive him. Hart then sentenced
the boy to twenty days in the cell room,
allowing him only one meal a day. After
the twenty days had run, Hart had the
boy taken out and beaten with the forked
strap by officer Darnen until Hart should
give orders to stop. Darnell said he
thought Hart never would tell him TO quit
and his arm was 50 sore from whipping
The boy that he had to battle it with
witch hazel for several days. Hart had
ordered Short TO take off his clothes to
be whipped. The boy took off his coat
but refused to remove mis- pantaloons and
It was in the attempt TO take them off
forcibly that Hart cho6ed the boy"
Mr. Sewers says that another boy
named Campbell. who was guilty of some
slight offense in the dining room escaped
through the window when told he would
be punished. He was stripped and beaten
with a forked strap until the blood ran
down and made the floor slippery. These
statements Mr.. Sewers says ne viii take
oath are literally true, as will also Cap
tain Ayres Of Augusta, and the other
gentlemen ne mentioned in his letter tC
Leedy.
He says these instances. are only a few
of the things that came up every week
The crime is, ne says also, ten times worse
there than it IS outside of the school and
that the officials know IT, He informed
the governor and the board of charities O
the situation, and because che condition.
were allowed TO continue, he resigned.
