HOW CAME 1T THERE.
Mysterious Trunk is Found in
an Alley Clubhouse.

A trunk which furnishes the nucleus
for a mystery was discovered in the
out house of Harrison school this morn
ing just across the alley from the Col
Inns barn.
1t was probably taken to the place by
burglars as it had been broken open and
rif1ed. There were some small articles
of female dress in the trunk and bun
die of letters addressed to Miss Mary
Ennis. The letters were from different
sources, but furnished no clue to the
identity of the person to whom they
were addressed. The clothing is of
good quality. The trunk is almost new.
It is being held for identification by
Sheriff Cook.

at San Francisco.

San Francisco, June 10.-The Fifty
first regiment of Iowa volunteers num-
bering nearly 1000 men, arrived here
this morning, tired out after their long
journey. The soldiers from Iowa are
the best equipped of any that have
come. They have all the requisites for
active service and are prepared to go
to Manila or anywhere else that they
may be ordered.
The Red Cross society gave the new
arrivals hearty breakfast and fruits
and flowers in abundance were distrib-
uted before the men started on the five
mile march to Camp Merritt. They
were given an enthusiastic reception by
the thousands of people who gathered
on the line of march to witness the
parade. At Camp Merritt the men were
greeted with cheers and other demon
STATIONS of welcome by the thousands
OF men camped there. 1t will take
some time to arrange their camping
quarters, but this will be completed be-
fore night and the Iowans will settle
down to the regular routine of soldier
life,

HER BOY SOLDIERS.
Urchins Who Make Friends With Mrs.
Mckinley and the Family.

Washington, June 10.-Garfield Fin
1ayson, the 13-year-old drummer boy of
Company A, Thirty-third Michigan vol
unteer infantry, is bent upon cultivat-
ing friendship with mem ers of Presi-
dent McKinley's official family. Gar
field called upon and was quite cour-
teously received the other day by the
president, and was shown all over the
executive mansion and the grounds by
official ushers detailed for his especial
edificatiOn. But Garfield was not sat
isfied, or rather he was fascinated by
splendor which Swallowed his humble
Detroit home, where his widowed moth
er and fatherless sisters live, into in
significance, and imbued him with
longing desire to remain and live in the
great white mansion.
Garfield intends to satiate that long
ing to a certain degree; that is, he vii
call at the White House as often as he
wants to at the express invitation of
Mrs. Mckinley, to whom he introduced
himself, as an appropriate sequel to his
meeting with the president. But Gar
field did not come to the White House
alone. He was accompanied by anoth-
er little soldier. H. w. McCorry, Jr.,
two years his senior, son of Judge H.
w. McCorry of this city. Garfields
companion is a soldier ull-f1edged, uni
form and all, who ran away from home
and enlisted in Tennessee regiment
which is now at Camp Alger. His par
ents have given their consent to his en-
tering the army, and While he Will not
be compelled to shoulder a musket, he
Will serve Ills country as the mascot
the regiment to which he belongs. When
Garfield last called at the White House
Mrs. Mckinley, just from a carriage
drive, was stepping from her carriage
upon the white marble portico. Gar
field nudged his comrade to salute and
when Mrs. Mckinley passed she was
astonished to encounter two little sold
Ter boys standing at attention with their
caps resting upon their left shoulders
as a mark of respect to her. Mrs Nc
Kinley was affected by the patriotic
ardor of the youths, and, smiling she
approached them and invited them in
side. When the little soldiers emerged
after some time, they declared the
good LADY, had given them a lot of
nice things to eat" and had asked
them to come again

SITUATION AT SAN FRAN CISCO
Orders to General Merritt to Get
Away as Soon as Possible.

San Francisco June lot was re-
ported at the soldiers camp that Gener-
al Merritt was considering the advisa-
bility of removing the camp from It's
present location. it is said that the
sanitary conditions at present existing
are not what they should be. 1t is said
that a site, distant from this city, is
under consideration but the probabili-
ties are that if a change of base is real
ly contemplated, that the men will be
sent back to the Preside, the original
removed to the old race track principal
ly because the water supply at the
Preside did not come up to the require
ments, but that has been remedied, and
with a little alteration the camp
grounds at the Preside can be put in
first class sanitary condition.
Gen Merritt has received orders from
Washington to rush all work pertain
ing to the dispatching of the second
transportation fleet to the Philippines.
A detail of Nebraska troops has ia
ken charge of the steamer Morgan City.
Provisions and ammunition have been
ordered on board the China. Colon and
Zealandia Orders on the Zea1andia are
for her to sail today, but it does not
seem possible for her to get away.
There has been no date set for the sail
ing of the transports that can be re-
lied on as definite. The steamers SEN
ator, City of Puebla and Queen will
shortly be made ready to receive troops.
San Francisco, June 10.-General
Merriam, commanding the department
of California has finally decided to
abandon Camp Merritt and place all
the soldiers in camp on the Preside
reservation. This move was found nee
essary for sanitary and moral reasons.
Camp Merritt is without drainage and
many saloons have sprung up all
around it. The city streets running
through it can not be closed and are
usually thronged with civilians. All
this can be remedied with the camp on
government land.
The Iowa volunteers reached the city
this morning. They arrived at Oakland
Mole last night, but did not cross the
bay.
Colonel Mcclure, chief paymaster,
has been instructed to pay off up to
July /, all the troops now concentrated
here as soon as possible. This will re-
quire the expenditure of $4,000
General Otis has ordered the Idaho
volunteers to join the second Manila
expedition which will sail in few
days. a corps of engineers will also
be added to the expeditionary force.

TO LEAVE FALLS CHURCH.
The Site of the Camp There May Be
Abandoned.

Washington, June 1O.-The officials at
the war department are still consider
ing the question of the advisability of
abandoning the camp of the Second
army corps near Falls Church, Va, for
a site in this vicinity better adapted
forthe accommodation of a large body of
troops By direction of Secretary AL
ger, an officer of the army accompanied
ex-senator Henderson of Iowa to his
country estate, near Glen Caryn, Va,
with a view to its possible use as place
for the encampment for troops in case
it is found advantageous to remove
them from Camp A1ger. Several other
sites in this vicinity. including one or
two near the upper Potomac, are also
under consideration by the department
for the encampment of troops.
An alarm of fire at Camp Alger caus-
ed the Seventh Illinois, Sixty fifth New
York and First Rhode Island regiments
to turn out. 1t proved to be a brush
fire and was soon eXtinguished. The

PAYMAsTERs TOO SLOW.
65 Appointed But Not More Than
Dozen Report for Duty.

Washington, June 1O.-The pay de-
partment of the army is seriously en-
barrassed by the lack of a sufficient
number of paymasters adequately to
perform the duties of compromising the
troops. This. howe yer, is no fault of
the administration, but is because the
men appointed to paymasters' places
have not responded promptly to the
department to assume their duties.
The president has appointed about IS
paymasters, nearly all of whom have
been confirmed. Not many more than
a dozen have yet reported for duty,not-
withstanding the fact that their ser
vices are badly needed. Secretary AL
ger has informed many of the ap-
pointees that if they do not soon re-
port for duty he will consider the pro-
priety of vacating their commissions.

Stock Letter.

New York: Have the bears overstayed
their market? The attack on Sugar has
been very successful this week and atyes3-
showed a loss of nearly 10 points from the
high point. The preteXt assigned for the
decline in this specially. namely, early
competition from the Arbuckle refinery, is
somewhat out of proportion to the real
situation. The capacity of the new. oppo-
sition refinery is small, compared with the
total sugar output of the country Even
if the plant is open for business in a few
weeks, it will be some time before 1t can
attract trade and it will probably be too
late for the opposition to derive the tull
benefit of the summer canning season. In
none of the prominent stocks has the de-
cline from top figures exceeded the linn
it's of natural trading reaction In the
meantime the market has been strong
enough to permit bull success in several
exceptional issues Among these may be
mentioned American Tobacco, which adj
vanced yesterday more than Sugar de
cIined. and which is per cent higher
than about a wee kago. American Tobac-
co has shown surprising strength since
the new issue of stock by the company
was first announced and in the mea ntime
the efforts making an unoStentatlouS
way for a closer union of the American
Tobacco in various forms, have, 1tnoW ap-
pears, met with considerable success

cruiser Topeka at Hamilton hall last
night was not as well attended as it was
expected it would be, but the affair prov
ed a very enjoyable one for those present
AS everything for the ball. except the hall,
was donated, the ball committee will have
in hand a neat sum toward purchasing
gift for the recently purchased cruiser
as soon as the tickets sold are collected
for. 1t is believed 100 tickets were sold
at 81 each.
The hall was prettily decorated in ma
tonal colors and pictures of Lincoln; Lee
and Dewey occupied prominent positions
on the stage. In the center of the stage
a painting illustrating the battle Of Ma
Mia attracted much attention. Watson
and Steinberg's combined orchestras fur
nished music for the ball. and during in
termissions Mr.. James Moore and Mr..
Chas. Reeske sang bass solos, and Mr..
Moore and Mr.. Shirer sang a duet.
