For Disobedicnce of Orders,

Camp Meade Middletown, Pa, Oct
1S.-Privates Mace, Plant and Nose,
of Company II, Second West Virginia,
were spread eaglad" on the ground,
with their hands and feet tied to heavy
stakes with stout ropes for nearly two
hours Sunday for disohodience of or
ders. Sentries were stationed over the
PROSTATE men and their faces were ex-
posed to burning rays Of the sun until
they promised to do as they were told.
When the men We're released they re-
fused to keep their word and they were
ordered back to the guard house for
trial by court martial.
The offenders were arrested and sent
to the guard house several days ago
for conduct unbecoming a soldier, and
on Sunday Lieutenant Gaujot, officer
of the day, ordered them to clean up
the company streets. They refused,
and the officer reported them to Lieu
tenant Colonel Moore, who is in COM
mand of the regiment while Colonel
Casteel is acting brigade commander
Colonel Moore ordered the men to be
tied up spread eagle" fashion
Colonel lEoore says Nose who was
formerly in'the regular army, is an old
offender, and has given the officers
much trouble. The other two enlisted
at Shepardatowu, w. Va, and they
have had no previous military expert
ence. Three other privates in this regi-
ment We're also manacIed Sunday for
missing ron call.

EvADING OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS
Undesirable Immigrants Come to This
Gn1Intt,N hN NNnN of Innnhn

Undesirable Immigrants Come to This
Country by Way of Canada.
Washington, oct. 1S.-Commissioner
Powderly, Of the immigration bureau,
has received a voluminous report from
Mr. Robert Watchorn, an immigration
inspector of New York, who some
months ago was instructed by Mr.. Pow
Derby to go to Europe and investigate
the causes which have resulted in di-
recting the fpw of immigration from
the United States to Canadian ports,
and also the facts as to the practice
of charitable institutions in assisting
paupers and criminals and other unde-
sirabe classes to immigrate to the
United States.
Mr. WatChorn finds that the strict
enforcement of the immigration laws,
particularly at the port of New York,
has resulted in compelling unscrupulous
immigration agents abroad to seek to
eVade them by sending the most un-
desirable classes to Canada, at the
same time assuring them that they
would find little or no difficulty in pass
ing the border into the United States.
In very many instances, Mr.. Watchorn
thinks, this scheme has been success
fully carried out
Mr.. WatChorn finds upon investiga-
tlon that much more stringent immi-
grafton laws than formerly are being
enacted by all the new countries, in
cluding Australia, so that practically
this is the only country now left open
for the undesirable classes. Nearly all
Of the old countries Of Europe are also
more strictly enforcing their immi-
grafton laws, and at the same time they
offer little objection to the departure
of the INDECENT and criminal classes.
Mr. Watchorn finds that a very large
number of immigrants receive help
from the many charitable societies and
institutions in nearly all Of the Eu-
ropean capitals.

The Home Paper.

An eminent preacher who undoubt-
edly has teen a careful observer and
possesses much good sense makes
this strong plea for the home paper
which it would be well for critics and
taulttinders to take to hea IT. lie
says; Your paper tells you when to
90 to church, when the county court
and probate courts are held, and
when to send your children to school
1t tells you who is dead who is
married, who is sick, who is born and
many other things you would not
know except through it. 1t calls at
tention to public enterprise, and ad-
vocates the best of schools, of law
and order in town. IT records the
marriage of your daughter, the death
Of your son and the illness of your
wife. II sets forth the advantages
and attractions of your town, invites
immigration and business enterprise
and is the first to welcome new
corners. Yet, in spite of all these
benefits some people say the home
paper is not half as good as the city
paper and has no interest in their
business or success. The home paper,
like the church, is too often neglected
by those who are benefited by it"

STEAMER BURNED, NINE LOST.
The Blengfell Had Naphtha on Board,
and Was Quickly Destroyed.

Margate, Eng, oct. 1S.-The British
ship Blengfell, Captain Johnston, from
New York for London, was destroyed
by sudden fire off this place early in
the morning. Nine of those on board
including the captain, pilot, the cap
tain's wife and child and the first and
second mates lost their lives. The sur
vivors were landed here and at Dover
The Blengfell was passing here in
tow, on her way to London, at about
$50 a. m, and was about four miles off
the coast. Suddenly she was enveloped
in flames, and smoke poured from her
hatchways. Two lifeboats Immediately
put off to her assistance, but before
they were able to reach the burning
vessel her masts fell and she was burn
ed to the waters edge. Her hull event
ually drifted upon the Goodwin Sands.
The Blengfell had quantity of naph-
tina on board, and the smell of it was
strong during the voyage especially
aft so much so that the officers of the
ship had to shift their quarters An
explosion occurred just as the captain
Of the Blengfell had engaged the ser
vices of a tug, which saved the sur
Yivors. The vessel burned so quickly
that her crew had no time to lower the
boats.

blown down or broken by the weight
of the snow covered wires. At Fair

the Third and Fifth Missouri and the
Twenty-first and Twenty Kan

tents were blown down, and the SOL
