Question of States, Rlghts.

The question of states rights is liable
to be raised in a rather interesting man
ner, this time as the result OF the estab-
lishment of the military ctmp at Mon
tauk Point, on Long Island. Governor
Black of that state issued an order es-
tabshing a state, quarantine against
Camp Wikoff the other day, and General
Young, the commander-in-che of the
camp, promptly announced that the or
der was not effective. The clash be-
tween the federal and the state authori
ties is liable to result in trouble, if both
are persistent in the attitude they have
assured.

ANOTHER LIKELY TO HANG.
Eugene Reese said To Be Implicated in

Eugene Reese said To Be Implicated in
tie Double Murder in sumter.
From present indications there may be
another ne ,kb eaklng on account of the
double murder Of Mrs. Mary McGarrah
and son, James Boone, in Sumter county.
Since the lynching of Hamp Hollis
his wife, Lucy Hollis, has made state
ments connecting another negro, Eugene
Reese, with the murder.
Reese was jailed at Americas and CIV
en- cOmmittal trial.
The evidence of Lucy Hollis makes
his conviction almost certain, and he
was held without bail to await the &C
lion of the grand jury.
There is other very strong evidence
against Reese which was not brought out
a the committal trial, and it is generally
believed he will be convicted and
hanged for the murder.

WAR ENDED TOO SOON.
a Great Deal of Military Energy Going to
Seed,

Great Deal of Military Energy Going to
Seed.
The war was entirely too short to fur
nish lighting for all the volunteers who
enlisted for the purpose of serving their
country and winning fame on the battle
field. The result is that a great deal of
war-iike energy is pent up at the several
camps OF concentration, and especially
.at Camp Merritt, from which point
comes reports of riots, rows and general
ructiors almost every day. 1t appears
that the Kansas, Tennessee and Iowa
volunteers have combined for the pur-
pose of cleaning out saloons, chasing
Cinnamon over the hills and far away,
humping negroes and every now and
then making a raid on the camp of some
peaceably inclined New York regiment
which has in some way incurred the dis
like OF the young warriors from the west
and south. 1t is evident that there is a
great deal of military energy going t.
seed at Camp Merritt, and the fact is
to besdeplored that it cannot be expen d.
ed on the country's enemies.

''HOBO HUSTLER OF THE WEST. .
Woman Who InssilIs Industrious habits
Into the Lazy.

Mrs. A. j. Atwood calls herself the
Hobo Hustler of the West" and there
is possibly no other woman in the world
who holds similar position.
Her business is to gather up all the
IDLE iaborers she can find and pat them
20 work on the Union Pacific railroad in
Colorado, Wyoming and other western
sections. She has been employed by the
Union Pacific in this capacity for the
past twelve years, and the company
hnds her services indispensable.
Mrs. Atwood arrived in Kansas City
on Friday, and Saturday she left with
htCy men for Wyoming. Most of the
men were negroes. Several of them
had the appearance of typical hoboes.
Mrs. Atwood has been in the business SO
long that she says she can tell by look
ing at man whether or not he will
make good hand. When she sees. one
VINO suits her taste she approaches him
without hesitation and asks him how he
would like the position she has to offer.
1t only requires the work of about a
minute fog the terms to be arranged,
and the man is escorted to some corner
where others she engaged have been
congregated
Mrs. Atwood has no place she calls
her home, but she usually makes Den
yer her headquarters. Most of her time
IS spent between Denver and Portland,
Ore.
The "hobo hustler is a little woman
about thirty years of age. She has short
curly hair that is as black as night. She
walks with an agile step and always has
a pleasant smile for even the toughest
hobo.
