WHEAT-Higher cables and reports of

The news, too, that in all probability the

handled by Armour had a strengthening
effect. Rust is reported damaging in
France that the crop there will be only

A NEW PLAN.
Troops to Be Held in Present Camps
Until Needed.

Chickamauga Park, Tenn. June 21.-
Today is another day of activity at
Chickamauga, officers and men, ,one and
all are hard at work. The equipping
work is now progressing rapidly and if
the present rate keeps up the whole
army will be armed and equipped in Il
short time. Recruits continue to come
in by the hundred.
1t is stated on very good authority
that Gen. Brooke, Gen. Wade and 9TH
ers at Chickamauga Park have recon-
mended to the war department that no
troops be removed from Chickamauga
until the date of the departure of an
invading expedition is fixed. Transports
they think can be loaded with supplies
and ammunition in advance. Then with
lust time enough to make the journey
the troops can be moved directly from
the camp to the ports and marched at
once fully equipped on shipboard. The
generals suggest that this is better
way than to move the troops to the
gulf. camp them again and hold them
until the expedition is ready to start.
They believe a higher degree of eff
cheney can be maintained by their plan
and that much of the confusion and de-
lay encountered in the departure from
Tampa can be avoided.
The Topeka state journal., 1898-06-21

Q.-Ever see him in that vicinity after
that time?
A.-No, sir.
Q-How can you fix this date?
Al remember it was about the time
the regular soldiers were going through
Lawrence.
Q.-can't you fix this date more posi-
lively?
Al believe not.
DR.. H. K. Tefft who was called to the
Collins residence a few minutes after
the murder, was called as witness
Odd you examine the wound?
A.-Yes, sir. 1 would say the first
wound was made in the right hip and
the second load entered his left breast.
He bled to death. He was unconscious,
and was gasping for breath. The sec
ond shot was fired as Mr.. Collins rose
up. I think he saw the one who shot
him. 1t would have been impossible
body unless he rose up. We found gun
wads lower in the chest than the lower
edge of the wound.
Q.-WaS Mrs. Collins shot?
Ayes, sir, some shot entered her
back.
Q.-You are sure of that?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-Notice any trace of chloroform
when you went there?
A.-No.
Q.-When you went in there who was
the first one you talked with?
AIRS. Collins.
Q.-What did she say?
Al asked her if it was burglar.
She said: 20, no, it wasn't a burglar, it
was done either for revenge or for
spite.'' I said, did you see the party?
She said, mo, I didn't"
