Washington, Aug. General Shat
ter telegraphed the president regard
ing the publication OF the round robin
signed by the general officers Of his
command as follows:
IT can very readily see what intense
excitement the publication must have
occasioned-a great deal more than the
situation warranted. Situation Is great
ly aggravated from the fact that be-
fore any of the men were taken i'll
they were thoroughly exhausted. AT
least rs per cent. of the command had
been down with malarial fever, from
which they recover very slowly and arc
in no condition to stand an attack OF
yellow fever or dysentery. Placed here
now In the condition in which they
were when they came here, 1 do
not believe they would be in any
particular danger. The regiment OF
immunes that recently arrived is not
suffering at all. and I do not believe
they will. They can keep out OF the
sun, are we'll clothed and we'll fed.
What put my command in its present
condition was the twenty days OF the
campaign when they had nothing but
meat, bread and coffee. without change
of clothes, without any shelter whatev-
er, and during the period twice as
stormy as it has been since the surren-
der. Fresh troops reaching here in the
middle of August, with good camps,
good water, abundance Of tentage.

prehend serious danger"

quickly performed. The men are ready

AFTER MANY DAYS.
CHIEF OF POLICE BARBER MAKES
A NOTEWORTHY CATCH.
FRANK STANTON IN THE TOLLS
He is Accused of Obtaining Money Under
False Pretences in this City over Four
Years Ago-Has Been a Fugitive
From Justice Ever Since.

Chief of Police Barber made a note
worthy arrest last night when he land
ed in jail Frank Stanton, on charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
fences nearly five years ago. The
officers have been continually on the
lookout for the fellow since that time,
but so smooth has ne been that no
trace of him was discovered until he
was landed in Jail last night. Stanton
was supposed to be the member of
good family in New York, but his
parents died and he came west to make
living He came to Kenosha in 1898
and was employed as farm laborer on
the farm of S. T. Rice, near the city
limits. He worked for Rice for long
time and was considered trustworthy
servant until some time in March,
1894, when he succeeded in obtaining
$50 of his employers money and left
the city to elude the clutches of the
law. On the day in question Stanton
| had brought three loads of oats to town
for Mr.. Rice and delivered two loads 10
the North Western Wire Mattress
works and one to Joe Williams He
is accused of obtaining the checks
for the grain and appropriating
them for his own uses. He left
Kenosha that evening, and according
to his own story he went to Pennsyl
vania where he was employed by a
railroad company and he has since
lived there. Lately, however, he had
desire to visit Kenosba county, and
thinking that the story of his strange
departure with Mr.. Rice's money had
been quite forgotten, he returned to
Kenosha Saturday last. In the even
| ing he was seen on the street by Officer
Barber, and thinking the face familiar
the officer made an investigation and
found out Monday that he was the
much wanted Stanton He lost no
time in running the fellow down, and
soon had him behind the bars.
Stanton was given preliminary
hearing this morning, and was bound
over until Friday. HIS bond was fixed
at 5000. The capture of Stanton is a
valuable one, as the officers believe he
was mixed up in several crimes com
mitted in Kenosha about that time.

Map Reading.

One of the requirements of the
Manual is that pupils be able to read
maps readily. Maps should be read
the same as text or pictures. By a
little care and some study on your part
you can make your recitations in geog-
raphy glow with the white of interest.
Do not, beg of you, go on in the same
old way of assigning long strings of
unrelated map questions. Where is
Sintang? Samarinda? Jambi? Name
six towns along the Tomhigbee river.
These are specimens of the trash which
fills many so called biographies. You
do not earn the salt in your butter if
you assign work of this kind.
Open to paragraph 1856 of the Man
ual. Read, study every paragraph as
far as 1872. Try hard to catch the
spirit of the suggestions. You will be
thousand times rewarded at the
mental growth of the children, and of
your own. In order to help you do all
this, have sent you some pointers in
map reading.
Open to the map of Mexico. Now
the map reading should always come
before the map questions. These last
are for testing work. l.. A map
directly tells the position by latitude
and longitude; 2. Position with refer
ence to other countries; 3. Size of a
country measured in degrees; 4. A
map shows slope; 5, A map shows
boundaries. #
Much of the value of map reading
lies in the information which may be
obtained through inference. l. From
the map of Mexico, infer the climate.
Why? 2. Vegetation. Can apples,
wheat, bananas, oranges be grown in
Mexico? Why? Explain your answer.
Can you infer from the map as to the
civilization of Mexico? How? Can
you infer from the map as to the exist
ence of minerals? How? Can you
infer from the map as to the healthful-
ness of the climate of Mexico? Can
you tell where the most densely popu-
lated areas are found? Can you tell
where the most productive areas are
found? Can you, by means of the
lscale OF miles, estimate length of coast
Eline? Can you estimate width?
Length! Area?
You and your pupils can do all this
and much more. The map contains
all the necessary information.
Now when | visit your school shall
expect to see you doing this work. Get
out of that old groove. Assign article
1876 of the Manual. Study the pictures
1 will test your work by conducting a
map reading exercise from some good
outline map.

While driving through our neighbor-

rains have greatly helped the pastures;
also that winter wheat and rye is
looking very prosperous. Farmers are
busy husking corn, clover is being
threshed and the fall blowing is nearly
completed-somef farmers even having
already plowed their field twice in order
to keep the weeds from going to seed.
This seems a good remedy for killing
them, as weeds here are almost a
scarcity The loud report of the hunt

direction and few we met carried
game Also few nut pickers were
met on our trip, but they did not seem
to be overloaded, claiming it is little
