VISIT JOINTS TOO OFTEN.
Troops Who Leave Camp Without
Permission Often Found in Cues
tionable Resorts.

All day yesterday the provost guard
was busy. Early in the morning they
were sent up town to run in some sold
iers who were away from camp with
out leave. They got them and returned
to camp. They made several trips and
each time found the men. Some times
the hunted men were found in the
joints. One member of the provost
guard thought of a scheme. 1t was
good scheme. He would propose it to
the officer of the guard. When he re-
turned from town he said to the officer:
II have a scheme that will make the
finding of these prisoners much cas-
ier,' he said.
What is it %
post a soldier in each joint and let
him arrest each man that goes in
Let me see," said the officer. There
are about a thousand men on the
grounds. No we cannot do that be-
cause we have not men enough to go

A PRAYING COOK.
Schive1y of Company GAP Is Relig-
ious, Patriotic and Gives Good
Meals

''Look here. See what kind of a cook
we have. See this?" 1t was Michael
Bundy, of Co. A who spoke. He was at
the cook tent and he pulled from the
rear trouser pocket of Cook Fred
Schively, a small pocket Testament.
Schively, whose parents live near To-
peka, looked around and smiled. That's
the kind of a fellow we have to cook
our meals, % said another soldier. HE
reads it a good DEAL
The Testament was passed around
for inspection. 1t was in the German
language. Schively is a German, being
unable to speak English well. But he
is patriotic and he was among the first
to volunteer. He said to be a good
cook.

fellow had secured the building of the | Spearf1sh branch of the B. and M, the | most wonderful railroad in the world, and the most useless. The Spearfsh branch of the B. and M. starts in one | gulch and goes over the top of noun l tain to another gulch, to the town of Spearfish. The Spearfish branch is thirty miles long, and cost several mil lion dollars, but if a man should give ti to me I would have him arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses. It starts from nowhere and goes mo- where, and does not pass through any place on the way. The scenery is mag nificent, and it Is the most wonderful railroad l have ever seen, or ever ex- pect to see, but it is not popular even as a scenic line; the hills are so steep that passengers are afraid to ride over it. When l met John Francis at Edge mont he had never been over the 1 Spearfish branch: I am of the opinion that he is afraid of it. If you want to see fine scenery. don't go to Switzer- land; go over the Spearfish branch. If you want to encounter danger, don't go to Klondike; go over the Spearfish branch.
 i The boomer who induced eastern capitalists to build the Spearfish branch said it would be immensely profitable in hauling cattle and ore. When was there it had been in oper- ation two or three years, and had not hauled an ounce of ore, except speci- mems, nor any cattle, except an occa- sional can of condensed beef in tour 1 its's lunch basket.
 A peculiar thing about the western | boomer is that he believes in his own schemes. Frank c. Grable never made a dollar out of his enterprises and worked eighteen hours a day; he be- | lieved that water would run up hill as l thoroughly as the eastern investors. | As a result of all his trips east, all his | figuring all his talking, he is poor and | in trouble.
 | Why do men commit highway rob bery and run the risk of getting in all? Why not go to the eastern in
 vestors? Why not go to the cashitr of a big New York bank, as Frank Grable did, and borrow two hundred thousand dollars on a note? Surely it is easier
 than holding men up at the point of a pistol, and realizing only twenty or
 thirty dollars and an old watch. An l it is safer and more genteel.

WHAT THE NEW AUTOMATIC RE-
 VOLVER DOES.

Prof. von Bruns of Tubingen, a well known authority on questions of mili- tary surgery has published some inter- esting experiments with the new auto- matic revolver, which it appears is be- ing adopted by nearly all the European governments. The experiments were made on pine wood, on plates of iron, on living horse and on portions of human corpses, at distances varying from 10 to 300 metres. The results were as follows: There was little difference between the effects on living and on dead material. The hole made is from five to seven milli-metres, in size and decreases with the increase of distance; the aperture of exit is usually slightly larger than that of the entrance. The effect of the projectile on the long hol- low bones was exactly similar to that of the German infantry rifle at 1000 to 2,O00 metres. The bone was splintered in every case; in no case did the pro- jectile remain in the bone. The track of the bullet invariably formed a smooth channel without shattering be- fore the bone and without bony debris. In the case of bullets striking the skull there was explosive action-that is. comminution of the vault-at a dis tance of ten metres, corresponding to the effect of the infantry rife at 1000 metres, which decreased gradually up to fifty metres distance. AS regards the penetrative power at ten to twenty metres. the projectile passed through two trunks and only stuck in the third: it pierced pieces of pine wood thirty two centimetres thick and three iron plates each two millimetres thick. In all respects the new pistol proved itself superior to the ordinary army revolver. From the British Medical Journal.

sicians aud surgeons are much
interested in the peculiar case of
August Jamerich. who bas been
living with a bullet IN his brain
since last Tuesday, when he shot
himself with suicidal intent. To-
day surgeons probsd to a depth
of three inches and removed sew
eral small particles OF brain,
proving that the bullet had sop
arated the substance in its
course.
The man is conscious and his
mind perfectly clear. One ofthe
specialists in charge of the case
says that the man will probably
recover and that the nervous
trouble which caused him to at
tempt TO take his life will be
cured by the general change in
his nervous system caused by the
bullet entering his brain.

CONFLICTING INTERESTS in
AFRICA.

However peacebly the powers
NAV have settled their troubles IN
China and meekly Great Britain
has taken her lesson in Norihnn
India, there remains a source OF
trouble in Central Africa.
It arises out of the old game,
nearly played out now because
there isn't much territory left un-
preempted, of land grabbing. The
contestants are the French and
English, and the rivalry is over
the region north of the waters OF
the Nile, which the French are
approaching from the West and
the English from the North. Eng
land claims it is belonging to her
sphere of influence under the con-
yention which she entered into
with Germany and Italy in 1891.
France says truthfully enough that
she was not a party to that agree
ment, and that England's influence
has only been nominal, that she
never occupied the country, that
her efforts to 90 so were only ten
tative and made at Egyptian ex-
penses and professedly for the ben

while on the other hand, her IN
terest is actual and has been sup
ported by exploration and treaty
and is countenanced by Menelik OF
Abyssinia, who is the real arbi-
traitor of the destiny of that part
of the continent.
Meanwhile the French continue
to advance. and Captain Maachan'

able to hold his Own, while the

General Kitchener, make their way
