DEATH RITE IN WIR.

When we see a regiment departing

the perils of battle the men are going
to face. But these are not the greatest
dangers. The camp and the march
have many more victims than the
battlefield.

CONTROL SHEEP GRAZING.
Forestry Reserve Officials Mark Out
q Line of Action.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec 27.-The forestry
reserve officials of the northwest met last
night in Tacoma to discuss the question
of sheep grazing in the reservation.
1t was practically decided to allot the
pasture district lying in the Mount Ia
coma reserve in well defined ranges, the
boundaries being marked by~streams and
ridges; These ranges will be let at the
rate of 50 to every thousand sheep pastur-
ed each season, unless there is competition
for the same tract between rival growers,
which will then be given to the highest
bidder. Grazing will be prohibited in the
reserves until June 20 to allow the grass to
get well started, and the higher attitudes
will be reserved until a month later.
The cOnclaVe consisted of Superintend-
ent S. NJ Ormsby of Oregon. Superintend-
ent J. w. Cloes of Tacoma, superintendent
F. b Hyde of Everett, who controls the
Washington and Priest river reserves in
this state, and Supervisor Ham of the
Olympic reserve.
The settlement of this question is one Of
great difficulty and is left nearly alto
gether to the discretion of the reserve SUI
perintendents, although their plans will be
ratified by the government
DIR. ClOeS has aScertained that the re-
serves are already pastured to the fullest
extent compatible with safety to the per-
manence of the grazing. The herds are
increasing every year, and it has become
necessary to formulate plan for allOtting
the district with definite boundaries for
each range and to prevent too early feed
ing on the grass in the spring.

MAKE GROUNDS HANDSOME
Topeka Interested in Appointment OF
Superin tendent of State House
Square.

The people of Topeka of artistic
tastes are becoming interested in the
appointment of a new superintendent of
the state house grounds and it is prOba-
bic that the matter will be considered
by the Commercial club.
The superintendent of the state house
grounds is charged with the care of the
grounds and upon his shoulders rests
the responsibility OF making the
grounds beautiful or hideous Every one
in the state is interested in seeing well
and artistically kept grounds around
the state house but the people of To-
pella are especially interested.
There is some other qualification nee
essary to a successful superintendent of
the state house grounds besides the fact
that he voted right and made votes for
his party. The people of Topeka, ire
spective of party, should bring all the
influence possible to bear to secure the
appointment of a competent man to
care for the state house grounds.

HOMES FOR JACK TARS.
To Be Established at Various Points
BY the z. NJ. @. A.

New York, Dec. 27.-CommOdore J. w
Philip is at the head of subcommittee
of the Young Mems Christian association
which is planning to build a home for
Jack Tars near the Brooklyn navy yard
to cost $1OO,OOO.
But the home in Brooklyn will not be
the only one. There will be others, cost
ing almost as much, in Boston, Newport,
Norfolk, San Francisco and perhaps in
Manila Havana.
These buildings will be for enlisted sea-
ings in the large cities for enlisted soldiers.
The Brooklyn building will look some
thing like hotel and will be modelled in
ternally like similar buildings in Ports
mouth and Davenport, England, under
the charge of Miss Weston. The cabins
rooms will resemble state rooms on
ships. but will be separated with wire
screens, so that each lOdger will be by
himself. They will be kept scrupulOuSly
clean and the nightly charge for use of
them will be from 10 to 20 cents. on this
basis it is expected to make the branch
Self-suppOTting. There will also be a bar,
but intoxicating drinks will be sold
There will be a library and reading room
and small rooms for Bible and educational
classes, and a gymnasium
Although the building will be under the
management of the new army and navy
ligious features will not be made too con-
spicuOus.

trip will be put into effect for the benefit
of the enlisted men.

TO BE PROUD OF.
A Kansas Insurance Company Makes
a Remarkable Showing.

The top of the eighth page of this
paper contains one of the most remark
able insurance advertisements ever
printed in Kansas. Remarkable on ac-
count of the exceedingly fine showing
made by the Topeka and Kansas insti-
tuition, The Kansas Mutual Life Insur-
ance company. The advertisement not
only presents a highly complimentary
sta tement from one of the most exact
ing and rigid insurance commissioners
any state has, but also presents a table
compiled from sworn figures submitted
to insurance departments by the COM
pany's name.
The only way the reader can get an
accurate understanding of just what
these two statements, the letter and the
table mean, is to read them carefully
as they appear on the last page of to-
days Journal. In brief, the statement
shows that the Kansas Mutual has a
most remarkable record and rank. Only
two companies out of the seventeen
given, show a larger increase in bust
ness, and not one shows as high a per
eentage of assets to liabilities, of in
come returned to policy holders, of net
first mortgages to invested assets. Over
four-f1fths of the real estate securities
held by this company are first mort
cages on farms in the eastern half of
Kansas These securities are regarded
among the best in the world
The showing made should make every
citizen of Topeka. and Kansas proud of
the Kansas Mutual.

BUSHELS OF LETTERS.
Received by Those Interested in the
Collins Trial

Received by Those Interested in the
Collins Trial
During the trial of John Henry Collins
for the murder of his father, bushels
of letters were received by those direct
ly Interested from cranks of all kinds
over all the country. These letters came
from lawyers, preachers, women, Spirit
ualists, clairvoyants, second sight seers,
detectives and even from criminals. One
of the most unique of these letters was
from w. w. Lowe. the self-confessed
train robber, who is in the Westport
police station. 1t was to Detective Dell
Harbaugh. This letter began by maxi
ing a request that Harbaugh call to
see him and it ended with:
I see by the papers you are making
out a strong case against Collins. hope
you will have success. 1 see the women
are all standing by him. If he had of
gone out and stuck up a train when he
wanted money instead of killing his
father for it the women would have
thrOwed up both hands and hOwled-"
Judge Hazen, who tried the case. re-
ceived a letter from the wife of a
clergyman in Kansas City, in which she
said she was confident John was in
nOcent; she was praying for him, and
she requested the judge to show her let
ter to the jury so they would know
that one unprecedented woman in Kan
sas City believed John was innocent
Judge Hazen received another letter
from the members of Christian En-
deavorers in Fort Scott, in which they
urged him to do his duty and see that
John got a fair trial. They said they
were sure John was innocent and were
praying for him.
Mrs. Collins and Grace Collins re-
ceived stacks of letters by every mail.
The most of them offered to produce
