eight miles north of this city, was shot to death by Mrs. Levina Black, neighbor. Ten days ago Mrs. Black had Bailey ar rested on a charge of criminal assault. The court trial resulted in an acquittal. Since that time Mrs. Black has been the butt of much talk. This preyed upon her mind, and this mornings tragedy was the re- suit.
 Bailey was standing against post at the home of Smith Childs, a neighbor, and was talking to MT. Chiids, when Mrs. Black approached with a water bucket in her hand Without comment whatever, the woman walked to where Bailey was stand ing. and, pulling revolver, shot him three times though the head. The police are on the trail of the murderess and her capture is certain. All the principals to the affair are well connected.

next witness. He was sent to Chicka- mauga to examine the water supply which he reported as bad.
 Gen. Egbart's Testimony
 General H. c. Egbert was ike next wit ness He is now brigadier of volunteers and colonel of the Twenty-second infantry. He commanded the Sixth infantry after the retirement of Colonel Cochran until he was wounded July 1. He had no fault to find with the camp at Tampa or the supplies or even with the transport Miami, except with the ventilation. He found troops abundantly supplied for the campaign. Recurring to his return on the Seneca, he said the conditions on that vessel were not good, and especially below where the troops were. He remonstrated against conditions and Captain Daugherty reme- died them. There was a-shortage in water. The boat was sent away hurriedly.
 General Egbart said that while the Seneca was not in good condition, that its officers did not seem to be in command during the voyage much as the surgeons. When the Seneca reached Fort Monroe the sur geon telegraphed to Surgeon General Stern berg, who ordered the vessel to New York. The next day, to General Egbart's surprise, the vessel had not gone He asked why, and was told that the captain refused to go until ordered to do so by the quartermaster department. The witness found this to be true by calling on the captain. After re- dBdiIlSt nOlulDB Ine WOunOeQ men in such a place the witness told the captain he would telegraph to the secretary of war, telling him of the condition. Mean time he sent a note to the quartermaster at Fort Monroe, and as the situation was understood there, an order was given for the vessel to sail at once and the captain obeyed it. 4.r
 The Afternoon Session
 At afternoon session Major Griffith tes- tified as to the condition at Chickamauga. He had difficulty in getting enough tents, and when he secured the proper number he found the last ones were of poor quail ity. As rule the men detailed as nurses were unfit. Witness asked Dr. Hof for female nurses. This relieved the situation. The staff of the division hospital was ade- quate when the increase of sickness oc- cured. Sickness among the surgeons re- duced the working force.
 He said there would have been no diff culty in getting hundreds of competent surgeons at Chickamauga within week. He said he knew many applications were

OFFICERS ARE NAMED
Stanley Club Effects Perma-
nent Organization.
TWO HUNDRED INCREASE
In the List of Signers Since
First Meeting,

The Stanley club had its second meet
ing in Peerless hall last night and decid-
ed TO hold future meetings on Wednesday
night at the same place. The committee
on permanent organization recommended
that the officers of the club be as follows;
Mayor Ross, president; J. o. Davidson,
vice president; B. L. Keenan,, secretary;
Dr.. W. A. Minick, treasurer.
The committee appointed to secure a
Stanley button reported progress. Moth
ing definite had been done, but number
Of firms had made prices. A suggestion
was offered that If every business man
in town were supplied with slips of paper
on which the photograph of Stanley was
printed and requested to send them out
with every business letter sent out to
points within the state. it would do more
good than the buttons and be cheaper.
This suggestion was approved by two or
three speakers. Gerald Volk said that if
a committee Of two were appointed to
escort Mr.. Stanley to the gallery Of Mr..
Rogers, on North Main, he believed that
gentleman would make a good photo Of
Mr.. Stanley for the club and the Western
Lithograph company would make a half
tone or zinc etching as good as could be
secured in Kansas City or Chicago, and
from this the newspaper union Of which
Mr.. Volk is manager here would be glad
10 print it in its list Of papers which
would insure its circulation over the
state. This, Mr. Volk said. was legiti-
mate newspaper matter, and all the pc
pers would be glad TO get it. This as q
plan TO supersede the button idea was
discussed but no action was taken. A
committee on ways and means was ap-
pointed consisting Of A. J. Myatt. ]. O.
Davidson. A. c. Jobes, J. NJ. Minick and
II. r VermiliOn.
Another committee consisting Of John
Davis. Gerald Volk. and A. C. Jobes was
appointed by Chairman Ross to see Mr..
Stanley and ascertain his wishes in the
matter Of appointing an executive com
mittee. motion was offered to make
Thursday the night for meeting but q
discussion developed the fact that there
are fewer lodge meetings on Wednesday
night than any other night in the weel,
The cost of Peerless hall will probably
not exceed 50 per night
Experience meeting was opened by
John Davis. who was taken TO the front

letters out over the state to personal

"ention at Hutchinson to do personal

GOOD FOR STRAWBERRIES
Experiment Station Says Oklahoma
Can Raise Them,

Saltwater. o. T., March 22.-(Speci>-
Bulletin No. 81, treating chiefly Of straw
berries and grape culture in Oklahoma,
has just been issued. The introduction
to the article on strawberry culture is a
denial of the statement hitherto current
that Oklahoma is not adapted to the
strawberry, and is as follows:
THE success of this division of fruit
culture, under somewhat adverse condi-
lions, to us appears to be no longer an
experiment at the station. Twenty-Five
varieties have been tested, the majority
showing marked success. The first plant
ing was done November Is, 1895 Some
planting was finished March r. 1896 The
fruiting in 1896 was small. but the fall
setting showed a marked contrast in
favor of fab over spring setting The
location selected was not an ideal plat
but the best suited at our command, the
surface being very fat. and impregnated
largely with alkali. to such an extent that
an excess of water forced the alkali to the
surface in no small quantities. A refer
ence is here made to the soil conditions
for the two-fold purpose. first to demon
strate if possible what may be accom-
plished under unfavora BILE conditions, and
what may be accomplished under normal
conditions.
Again, reference is here made to the
soil conditions because of the adverse
criticism INDUCED in by many. attesting
favorably one fact: that success at the
station may mean success to the great
majority of the farmers OF the territory.
and that failure at the station does not of
necessity mean failure with the practical
farmer, under more favorable conditions.
Up to and including the fall of 1895. the
growing of this delicious fruit on the sta
ton grounds was supposed to be lost
art, former efforts having proved total
failures. It was supposed that the elm
attic influence would operate as an embsr
go against not only the frGitfulness of
the vine but the life of the vine Con-
fronted with the past experience Of 9TH
crs we undertook the growing Of the
strawberry with some misgivings. If not
trepidation. Hence we have confined our
labors to the growing of a few of the old
standard varieties Succession in ripen-
ing was an objective point The question
Of soil frequently enters into the interro-
cations so often propounded to Us, that
we will here state that We believe that
soil that will raise or grow good corn,
cotton or vegetables, will grow straw
berries, everything else being equal

IL. 1t is gratifying TO learn Of a revival
of interest among number of the posts
OF this department. The privilege OF being
a member of this grand organization will
be realized by members in the near future

department be represented at Shawnee

Il Comrades. while we are all interested
in securing free homes for all citizens en-
titled thereto, we must not overlook the
effort being made to secure homes for our
homeless and destitute comrades OF this
department. A bill has been introduced
by Hon. ]. Y. Callahan, donating the
Council Grove reservation to Oklahoma
territory, for use of a soldiers home.
Post officers and members should at once
write letters to congressman and United
States senator's. begging them to assist
in the passage of such bill. Hon. D. T.
Flynn is now in Washington. write him
also. requesting his cooperation and as
