The seclusion OF women in Korea
is carried to the utmost limit. La
dies out Of doors wear a green man
tie which covers the whole coun-
tenance except the eyes. Nor do
they willingly let even their ey es
be seen, and to avoid meeting a man
they will turn into the house near
est at hand. Travellers recount
that the women are taught to shun
the opposite sex from their ear
llest girlhood. They are even ex-
horted to talk as little as may be to
their own husbands. What is still
more extraordinary is the innate
modesty Of the men. This senti-
ment impels them to work in jack
cts and trousers in the hottest
weather, while the richer classes
use kind of bamboo framework to
keep the clothes, otherwise unbear-
able, from contact with the skin.

Win The Flags.

The managers of the lola celebra-
tion have provided two splendid flags
a. prizes for the fret and second larg-
est delegations that come in to lola
next Monday from townships outside
of this place, and it is very much
hoped that the prizes will be con-
tested for. Let all the people in the
respective townships who intend
coming to lola, agree to meet at some
convenient place on the road, elect a
marshal, and form in procession. Let
a courier be sent ten or fifteen minutes
in advance to report to the Marshal
of the day go that the delegation may
be counted and placed in line without
delay. Managed thus it will be nc
trouble to the participants, while ii
will add much to the interest of the
day.

As TO GENERAL MILES.

1t is very much to he hoped that
Gen. Miles, in command of the army
of the United States, will Do Some
thing pretty soon.
The country is much more disposed
to lionize the captains of its armies
than it is to criticize them. But it is
undeniable that the country is begin
ming to swing around to the opinion
that Nelson a. Miles is great big,
handsome, conceited incompetent.
From the very beginning of the war
his cry has been for delay-delay-
delay. He stayed at Washington
until the president fairly sent him to
Tampa. And when he went to Tampa
he rode in Il special train with his
whole family and number of guests
making junket out of it. At
Tampa he was never too busy to get
on his handsome train and run down
to the coast, niue miles, twice a day
and 10 loiter about the fashionable
hotel verandas every evening. He
did this for days and days, while the
army was fretting its life out in the
hot sands in its Impotence to be off
for the wars, and while millions of
pounds of supplies were getting
tangled up in an ineXtricable mix of
freight cars. And then he had the
gall to telegraph to Washington that
the reason the army could not be got
ready TO move sooner was because of
the chaotic condition of the supply
trains. The whole country enjoyed
Secretary Ayers caustic response:
eff, as you say, things are in chaos at
Tampa why don't you take some of
the $4,000 men you have AT your dis
posal and straighten them out?n And
then after getting his men on the
transports he held them there for six
mortal days, in those ovens of ships,
for what reason no other mortal man
has yet been able to conceive. Imag-
inc Ulysses :. Grant handling an
army that way!
AS this is written it is reported that
Gen. Miles is to go to Cuba. There is
not word Of reproach here set down
that will not he most gleefully taken
back if only he Does Something

Killed By Lightning.

VIM. Johns was killed by lightning
on his farm in Marmaton township,
while blowing corn Sunday. Mr..
Johns was Seventh Day Adventist
and on Sabbath morning he got an
early start and plowed corn diligent-
lv during the forenoon and continued
after the thunder storm came up.
Lightning flashed and the thunder
rolled around him but he paid no
heed to the warnings. Finally a
flash of unusual brilliancy came and
laid low the driver and both the
horses. Farm work has been de-
layed this spring to the extent that
many men would doubtless consider
blowing corn on Sunday work OF
necessity, but the awful suddenness
OF the taking Off of Mr.. Johns will
doubtless not only prove Il bone OF
contention among rustic theOlogians,
but will ever remain in the annals
of the county as warning that the
Sabbath should be kept holy. Man
requires Il stern reproof now and
then.

A HOT DAY IN CArlP.
Notes and Comments from the Regis
ter's War Correspondent.


ter's War Correspondent.
San Francisco. June "a.
Today has been one to be long re-
mem bered by the Volunteers now in
camp here. The suns rays came
down so horribly hot. thick and fast,
that it was impossible to dodge
them except by rushing at twice a
double quick into the shade. The
number on drill from the goth Kansas
was very small, but tonight the
hospital is nearly full. No one is
seriously i'll, but the heat made its
mark all right.
The new order allows twenty men
from each company out each evening
from $3.50 to 1000 and the object oi the
premium Is highly realized.
The papers are full of all kinds of
stuff about when we are to move, but
so far l am unable to procure any
thing that sounds official to me. The
papers have fixed Monday as the day
we are to go on board, hut there is
nothing but showing that goes here
Anymore.
Uncle Sam O'Hara is all right again
and will go on drill tomorrow.
The vaccination Is working while
the boys wait.
If there is any place that is hotter
than this l don't want to go there.
Several times l have been asked
how to spell the name of the city to
which we are expected to go. Web
ster is pretty good authority and he
spells it M-a-n-i-l-l.a, but the spelling
has been changed out here since
Dewey shot out of it.
Company l has been given a pup
which has: since been christened
Dewey, and its bright cur, too.
Bert Miller tried to blow out the
electric light 80 the darkness would
aid him TO run the guard line, but
Norris Ball isn't a bit afraid of hav-
ing his cover shot off.
After our landing-if we land-then
will come the fire works.
