those Virginia people had been able to

court martial at 10 o'clock at night and
had to go to trial the next morning. The
trial lasted about thirteen days and
about sixty witnesses were examined.

is question in my mind whether sur

ing the conduct of soldiers outside Of
the medical department. The Associated
Press and many Of the Eastern papers
reported that he had been convicted and
sentenced to five years Imprisonment,
but that was a mistake. The grave was
isolated and it is doubtful whether one
tenth of the local citizens, who were eX-
pressing so much feeling against Dun
can, knew that there was such grave
there. AS a matter Of fact, local senti-
ment against Duncan has changed and
very much doubt whether he will ever
be brought to trial on the Virginia in
dictment"
The private soldier in this regiment
almost invariably has a good word for
Colonel Lindsey. He says that the regi-
mental commander has been strict, but
that in so doing he has made the regi-
ment proficient and thereby greatly in
creased it's chances to see the much-de-
sired active service. At the same time
the private says he has had all possible
regard for their interests and has never
missed an opportunity to make it as
comfortable and pleasant for his men
as possible.
Adjutant Clay Allen came in looking
as we'll as usual although he had been
indisposed for several days.
At 8 o'clock Monday morning the men
were unloaded and marched to their new
camp between Leavenworth and the fort.
The opening of the camp was matter
Of short work for these men. Their tents
were soon pitched and camp life was be-
gun again In earnest. Although it
rained during the march and while the
camp was being put in condition the
men did not seem to mind it. They
worked cheerfully and there was none
who was not anxiously awaiting the
looked-for furlough which would give
him chance to visit home and live for
short time on home rations. Verbal
furloughs will be given at once and the
men will be released from duty for
thirty days. Then they will return to
camp and take the medical examination,
after which they will be discharged If
at that time there has been no hitch in
concluding the terms of peace. This
medical examination is for the use of
the pension Office. With it that Office
will have an exact record Of each man
when he left the service. This was not
done at the close Of the last war and
the applicant for pension has had
endless trouble proving that his disa-
bilities had not been incurred after the
close of the war.

1t Is understood that Immediately fol-
lowing the resumption Of studies in the
colleges here steps will be taken to adj
vance what is known as the students vol
unteer movement. The purpose of this
movement. as explained by one who is
very earnest I'll it's promotion, is to enlist
students for foreign mission service. to
help prepare them for their life work. and
TO lay an equal burden Of responsibility
for the worlds evangelization on ali stu
dents who are to remain at home.
The field of the movement is the thous-
ands of institutions of higher learning of
the United States and Canada 1t has on
its rolls the names of about 1000 volun-
teers. Already over one. thousand have
sailed to mission fields under the regular
mission boards. Over three thousand stu
dents aIs making thorough study of the
missions III over two hundred colleges and
seminaries. The students have been lead
to give $4,000 year to the missions and
are seeking to stir up the churches and
millions of members of Christian societies
OF young people to enlarge their giving, so
that all the volunteers may be sent The
work has not only spread to the colleges
or all Christendom, but also of all mission
lands. so that today the Christian students
in over eight hundred institutions, on five
continents, and OF all races. are united in
an aggressive effort to extend Christ s
Kingdom speedily throughout the world.
Under the influence of this movement

from them more enthusiasm and unselfish
devotion than any other idea.

offers of hotel and hospital buildings
for use as general hospitals by the gov
eminent during the present war. Some
of these are submitted in a patriotic
way while others, as is apparent from
their character, are purely speculative.
In the matter of hospitals, however,
the government at this time is quite
well supplied. There are now accom-
modationS for over a thousand men.
The capacity of those now in existence
can be expanded readily by the use of
tents which in the south particularly
during the summer would not bring any
hardship on the person in them.
Among the places recently offered to
Gen. Sternberg for hospital service
were Mount Vernon barracks in Ala
bama and the new German hospital in
Brooklyn. All these offers, however
are being held in reserve and will not
be taken advantageSof unless the cas-
ualties in the war should be much
greater in extent than is now antici-
pated and the capacity of the hospitals
now in existence be taxed beyond their
present limit.

PROGRESSIVE IDEA.

Among the other improvements that
are being made with the laying Of new
steel between Kansas City and Topeka
are the nolseless joints that are being
put in.
The Weber noiseless Joint IS being
used. The noiseless joint consists of a
block of well seasoned wood that fills
the channel and shoe angle OF the rail
Joint and also serves as a nut lock
keeping the joint tight and free from
play and loOseneSs.
The saving of wear and tear on the
track by the even tension of the joint
is one of points in favor of the block.
Equipped with these joints the metal
lie sound caused by the wheels passing
over the joints is done away with and
the passing of the wheels over the
joints becomes noiseless. These noise
less appliances have been tn use by
eastern roads for some time but the
Santa Fee Is the first to adopt them in
the west.

PILLAR OF HIS THRONE.
Emperor William Makes a Speech
Commencing His Army.

Berlin, June 21.-The official Reisch-
zanzeiger says that Emperor William, in
a speech which he delivered to the I'M
peria1 guards in the Lustgarten, at Pots
dam, on Thursday. spoke of the army as
being his most important inheritance, and
said:
when assembled the throne, with a
weighty load of anxiety, everywhere was
regarded askance and everywhere 1 en-
countered false judgment. The army alone
believed in me, and, supported by you and
trusting in the God of our forefathers, 1
assumed my heavy office, knowing we'll
that the army was the chief support of
my country and the chief pillar Of my
throne
His majesty concluded with hoping the
loyalty of the army will become even
more pronounced, and that it's main sup
ports, namely, bravery, honor and uncon-
ditfonal and answering blind obedience
may ever remain mistaken

SANTA FE EXTENSION.

The Santa Fe will this week com

branch from point three miles north
west of Holyrood, Ellsworth county, in
a westerly direction to Bardeen, Barton
county, a distance of thirteen and one
half miles.
The extension will give the Santa Fe
- miles Of track through one of the
best wheat sections in the state.
The surveying and grading for the
extension of the branch was completed
while the Santa F'e was in the hands of
receivers. but after that the extension
was neglected and nothing done toward
laying steel. The work will now be
pushed and the road will be in shape
for traffic within the next 80 days.
Bardeen is now represented by a few
farm houses in close proximity to each
other but as the Santa Fe expects to
receive large amount of wheat there
in the future, it will undoubtedly rise
to the dignity of a dourishins shipping
station

PREPARATIONS FOR THE SICK.
Another Hospital Ship is Being Fit
ted Out at New York.

Washington, June 21.-Surgeon Cen
eraI Sternberg of the army has return
ed from New York where he spent a
day in a thorough examination of the
hospital ship Relief being fitted out
for the use of the army in the West
Indies. The final touches are being put
on the vessel and Gen. Sternberg re-
ports she will be ready to leave for her
destination, which presumably will be
Santiago, the first of next week.
The ship is admirably adapted for the
purpose intended and the general is
more that satisfied with her The
beds, but under stress of circumstances
this may be doubled and 600 persons
The equipment of the vessel consists
of a complete outfit for all kinds of
surgical and other branches of work
which must come under the supervision
of the hospital branch. One of the
most desirable features of her equip
ment is an ice-malxing plant with a
capacity of about two tons per day
which in addition to supplying the
needs of the vessel will be adequate
also for furnishing the field hospitals
Then there is a water distilling plant
and also a. carbonating plant, the latter
installed with the money given by one
Of the relief associations.
The capacity of the latter plant is
more than is necessary for the vessel
and the surplus will be used for the
hospitals nearby. The navy ambulance
ship Solace is now in Cuban waters and
this vessel with the Relief will be used
interchangeably, so far as the occasion
therefor may arise. Unlike the navy
ship, the Relief is distinctly hospital

destination until its beds are filled with
sick and wounded men, when 1T Will

RANSOM FOR HOBSON.
British Consul Suggests Plan to Re-
lease American Marines.

Ramsden, the British consul at Santiago
de Cuba, now acting for the United States
in the negotiations of the Spaniards for
the exchange of Lieutenant Hobson and
his comrades of the Merrimac expedition,
has suggested to the officials at Wash
ington that even a ransom might be paid
to secure the prompt release of the Amer
lean prisoners. That idea was undoubt-
eddy expressed in the cable dispatches
which passed through the colonial author
tiles here, but in what form it was shaped
was not clear.
