The Brookings Press says that
"when man wants advice on legal
proposition he don't consult horse
doctor; and when he is sick he don't
call in grain buyer" That is true,
and when the people want legislation
for the people they don't elect to the
legislature men who are naturally op-
posed to their interests. When the
people want lower freight and pass
enger rates, they don't send A. B.
Kittredge or any Of his allies down to
Pierre to secure them. And when
the people want a board of equaliza-
tioH that will vote right they don't
vote for the machine republican
ticket-nOt this year.

cipal be paid over to the officer en-
titled to receive the same, and it Is
the duty of the county treasurer to
comply with such direction.
2. There is no warrant in law for
treating the interest on delinquent
taxes as fine. A fine, in the cOntem-
plation of Sec. 81, Chap. %, Laws
1897, is the pecuniary punishment for
an offense, inflicted by sentence of a
criminal court. Sec. 81 of the law
just quoted requires that the amount
of interest collected shall be stated
in the tax receipt. while Sec. 81 re-
quires that the treasurer issue sep
arate receipt for all fines, and shows
conclusively that in the contemplation
of the statute the interest is not fine.

3. The answer to the first question an
swers also the third. The interest be-
longs to the fund on account Of which
it is collected, whether the fund be-
longs to city incorporated under a
special charter or any other body or
corporation.

The mere suspicion Of w. Fl. Roddle
having taken $1,000 of state funds that
did not belong to him should defeat
him at the polls next Tuesday. He
never should have been nominated in
the first place. 1t is this accursed
habit of nominating men Of that char
acter that is killing the republican
party in this state. The members of
the party are getting tired of ever
lastingly having to apologize for the
officers they place in high public po-
sitions and il the rank and file cannot
prevent the nomination of such men
on the party ticket, on account
OF the machine" having con-
troll of the state and county organiza-
tions, they can and will prevent their
filling the positions to which they
have been nominated-they will be
heard from at the polls. Men who
are corrupt in office are just the ones
that become the servIle tools of those
who scheme to rob the people and
think that public office is private
snap. They proceed to line their
pockets at the expense of the public,
and to that end are willing tools of
A. B. Kittredge and the corporation
he represents, resting content in the
belief that his influence aud the
wealth behind him will be a sufficient
shield from the public eye. But
the people have the votes and it re-
mains to be seen how long they will
submit to influences that are danger
Gus to their own welfare.

CADETS ANNUAL DRILL
High School Boys Compete for
the Honor of the Flag.
PUT UP A FINE EXHIBITION
The Second Battalion. Companies G.,
Il. +, and III Displayed Their Ac-
compiishments Yesterday - The
First battalion to Drill Today
Big Crowds and Great Enthusiasm

The annual competitive drill of the
Washington high schools was begun yes
terday afternoon at the National Baseball
Park, at 4:So O'Clock, in the presence of a
most enthusiastic audience. In these war
times nearly everyone is interested in the
military or anything connected Herewith.
The rivalry between the several schools
is intense. 1t has divided the youth of the
city into fierce sectional partisans who
will stop at nothing when working for the
benefit OF their alma mater The feeling
is infectious, as many a fond father will
testify. when he tries to explain to his
wife why he jumped up and yelled so
vociferously when the company to which
their son belonged proudly marched into
the field and commenced to drill.
Everything seemed to favor the boys
who drilled yesterday. The weather was
beautiful till toward the last, when it
began to cloud up, but the rain did not
fall till the last company marched off
the grounds.
Every seat on the large stand was taxi
en- the crowd extending even into the
bleachers over in the right field, the young
ladies being very much in the majority.
There were all kinds of costumes but
there was not one that did not have at
tached to ii somewhere the colors of one
of the schools. and besides ribbons and but
tons there were numerous flags. stream
ers and tall poles covered with coiored
paper. They gave their school yells, sang
the school songs and blew tin horns.
In the absence of Capt. Constantine
Chase and hiS fekIOU- fyfficarS Of the TNo,rr-ffS

several of the contests Capt. III. r. Lem

was conceded that those boys are in the

The second company to drill was Com

When the command appeared at the en-
trance to the ground they were greeted
with an ovation and every time a par
ticularly good movement was made they
were cheered. The general appearance of

Senator Cattell was a very close friend
OF Grant and every time the general called
at the Camden residence of the senator
the flag was raised. Grant pulled il to
the top of the flag staff with his own
hands on two occasions.
After the death of Senator Cattell the
flag passed into the hands of Mr. George
w. Algore. of Merchantsville, n. J., who
presented it to the Government at the
outbreak of the present war. The formal
presentation of the gift took place yes
terday. There were present members of
the T. NJ. K. Lee Post. G. A R.. Of
Camden. and Lincoln Post No. 3. G. A. R,
of this city. The latter were in attend
ance as escorts. Commander G.. w. Ha-
zer introduced the visiting veterans and
the donor of the gift to Secretary Alger.
After friendly exchange of greetings.
Comrade Hartshorn stepped from the
group of veterans and addressed the Sec
retary. and formally made the Govern
ment the posseSsor of the relic. He gave
a terse recital of the historical connec-
tions of the flag and said il was given
on the condition that 1t would be the first
American flag TO float over MORO Castle.
Secretary Alger, in responding, spoke as
follows:
This is one of the SupremeSt moments
of my life, 10 see those who have gone to
the defense of their countrys flag ready
to make any sacrifice they may be called
upon to make for their country's honor.
Comrades. / am very glad indeed, to
receive so many of you here this after
noon in good health and spirits. We are
just on the danger line, Our courage has
been for the most part spent. The young
er generator takes the field again to vim
dicate the courage already exhibited by
you on the field in 1866.
I'm presenting the flag that you do to-
day, have no fear that it will ever cease
to float. Wherever the American arms
go it will not fail to prevail.
mo power on earth will be able to stop
1t.
Sacrifices may be made Lives may
and will be lost. But, comrades. life is
not made up of years. 1t is made up of
deeds.
Wherever the arms may be called by
duty we know by the past that the foot
prints of our soldiers over the ramparts
of the enemy will be towards victory.
II am confident of this, for I thorough
believe. and just as firmly as I do that
you and 1 exist, that an overlooking
Providence has placed this war upon the
American people. Without any eyoecta-
ton of self-aggrandizement the Ameri-
can people have taken up the cause of
humanity. They will not lay down their
arms until Cuba is free.
II thank you very much for the gift
of the flag before us and / shall direct
that it be raised over MORO Castle as

Sfafuary

Omaha, Neb., May 24.-Lieut Dorothy
Hauer, a pretty officer in the local Saliva
ton Army, occupies a cell at the police
station. At midnight she was arrested at
the exposition grounds.
The young lady was high up on the
grand arch OF statues disfguring the Gu
pids and other statuary representing the
nude in art. a number of handsome
pieces of work were destroyed by the axe
sho welded.
Policemen made out the dim outlines
of the figure perilously clinging 10 n
group of cupids fifty feet from the
ground. For more than an hour Miss
Hauer defied the policemen and sIashed
among the pretty nude figures until all
had been denuded. When her peculiar
tastes had been satisfied she discarded
her weapon and coolly descended hand
over hand to the astonishment of wit
nesseS.
The girl was very cool when conveyed
to the jail, merely saying that she had
been disgusted with the depravity dis
played by the exposition directors in per-
mitting such an exhibition of the nude
human figure. She had determined TO re-
move them from the sight of men and
