mended by the adjutant general, the Sec
retary thinks that the pay of those officers,
as well as those in Alaska, should be in.
creased so per cent while they are so serving,
because of the additional expense they are
put to. He says the question of payment
for damages to farms and other property by
the movement of troops will be made the
subject of a special communication to con-
gress. He recommends that $50, instead oil
so, should be allowed for the apprehension
of deserter.
SUBSISTENCE
retary finds an urgent need for regimental
commissary, and also for commissary sar-
geant for each regiment.
SURGICAL
Discussing the surgeon generals report, he
SAYS it was a mistake to detail regimental
surgeons to large hospitals, but this could
not have been avoided and division and gen.
eral hospitals, which were indispensable,
maintained. Ample provision should be
made to supply the places OF surgeons who
fall sick. One of the great mercies of the
campaign were the women nurses. The re-
port says that until one has had experience
or has made careful observation, he cannot
realize the work that these noble women
did for our sick soldiers in the hospitals,
but they cannot well be employed at regi-
mental hospitals in campaign. Both the
division and general hospitals are absolutely
necessary in the opinion of the secretary,
but the general hospital should be provided
with separate wards for each regiment, so
that comrades could be kept together.
RED CROSS WORK
The secretary says the Red Cross and other
relief associations contributed in very
our sick soldiers and should receive the
grateful thanks of the nation. The secretary
calls attention to Surgeon General Stern
berg's circular of instructions to the army,
issued April 25th, and says had it been.
strictly followed less sickness would have
resulted.
ENGINEERING
lie feels that force OF practical engineers,
skilled in electricity, should be provided.
and that large number of engineers should
be educated at West Point, so that an officer
can be placed permanently with each river
and harbor project. These projects should
also receive the recommendation OF board
of skilled engineers before appropriations
are made for them.
MODERN ARMS
The manufacture of the Krag- -Jorgensen
or similar magazine gun should continue
until we have at nearly date at least 500,-
900 of these arms in our arsenals, with
full supply of ammunition.

Insistent Statements Made That the
Ex-Cattle King Is Under Arrest
in Mexico

KANSAS CITY, Dec. "A special to
the Star from Abilene, Kan, says:
Suit was today filed in the district court
by Morton Jourdan, asking receiver for
1900 Gilett cows and their calves Of the
I'D brand, near Harrington. The petition
states that last July Gillett gave mortgages
on said cattle to Elmer & Sooper of Kansas
City for $37 900, due November 18th; that
they were then extended and ADDITIONAL
notes for $9034 were given, and the notes
were all ndorsed and sold by Elmer &
Cooper to plaintiff; that Thomas Kinnehan
claims to own the cattle, and that the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of Kansas City, the
First National bank of ST. Louis, William
Thomas and o. w. Pratt claim an interest in
the herd derived under Kinnehan, and that
the cattle are suffering for care and deteri-
orating in value.
George NJ. Rogers was appointed receiver
by the probate Judge, in the absence of the
district Judge, and went to Harrington al
once to take charge of the stock. Nothing
has been heard here or at Woodbine OF Gill
let's capture.
Interested stoclsmen today still declare
positively that the absconding cattle king
is under arrest at point just across the
Mexican border. His exact whereabouts are
kept a secret by those who claim J. know
them, for fear, it is stated, that a scramble
to secure portion of the thousands of dol.
lars Gillett is said to have taken with him
will ensue. In addition to the detective sent
by a local firm last night with a warrant for
Gillett's arrest, on charge OF obtaining Sla,-
900 on fraudulent representations, j. s. Hol.
linger, one of the heaviest losers on Gillett
paper, today swore out warrant charging
the runaway cattle feedefwith forgery. A
detective bearing this warrant will be sent
to Mexico Immediately, according to Hol-
linger's statement. He declined to state the
exact nature of the forgery.

at lao he was in the best OF spirits,
and was feeling better than he had
been for ten days. He attended tea
party Saturday evening at tue home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Willis K. Folks, given

fore IL O'Clock and sat and talked
pleasantly with his sOn-in-law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher
Price, until twenty minutes Of II,
when he retired in the best Of spirits
and seemingly in the best Of health.
About an hour after he had retired
Mr.. and Mrs. Price were awakened by
noise n his room. When they reached
