house, but escaped with minor injuries.
The crime was traced to a veteran, Jo-
seph W. Oliver, a member of the home,
and he was convicted.
Governor Smiths administration at
the Leavenworth home was marked by
many troubles. Through the efforts of
Richard w. Blue, then a member of
Congress from Kansas, the management
of the home was investigated by
a committee from the House Of Rep
resentatives. Many charges were pre-
ferred. against Governor Smith, but the
investigation resulted in no more than
his transfer to the governorship of the
Pacific branch, where he was, wounded
to-day.
The charges against Governor Smith
that led to the investigation were prin-
cipally mistreatment of the old soldiers.
1t was said that he confined men in the
insane wards of the hospital without
previous examination by the surgeon;
that he maintained a police system
cruel in the extreme, and that he forced
men to take the gold treatment for
drunkenness against their Will. Colonel
Sidney G. Cooke of Harrington, Kas.,
the local manager, testified that he had
ordered Governor Smith to discharge
brutal police officers and to cease the
system of forcing the soldiers to take
the cure for drunkenness. The order,
he said, had been disobeyed. Later
Colonel Cooke stated that he had in
vestigated some complaints made by
pensioners that their pensions had been
withheld from them by order of the
Governor and against the law. He had
ordered this to cease and had been
obeyed. An investigation of this had
also been made by Ex-Governor Click,
Pension Commissioner. Governor Smith
had been let off with a reprimand. Fur
Their charges against the governing of
the Soldiers Home We're made that he
had abused and insulted officers under
him, had caused men carried on Gov
ernInent nav rolls to do chores about
his house and had turned Government
property over to his own private use.
Before becoming governor of the
Leavenworth Home Smith was for
three years treasurer of the National
Soldiers Home at T0gas, Me. Charges
preferred against him there by the gov
ernor of that home led to his transfer
in 1885 to *Leavenworth

never see her husband again and she at
once applied for divorce. In March last
a decree was granted on her plea of aban-
donment.
When Mr.. Ayers returned from. the gold
fields last week he brought $4,000 in gold

color of his gold dust, insisted that his

for the remarriage of the divorced couple.

The Correct Thing in Calling Cards.

1t is considered better form for
young girls to have their mothers
name printed on the cards for formal
occasions. OF course girls can have
their separate cards as well.
When the names are engraved to-
gether,a long card, made from strong
stiff cardboard, Is used. The fad for
thin, himsy cards has entirely gone
out Girls cards are also much
smaller than they were. Never un-
der any circumstances lave your
name on your card without the pre-
fix Mrs, or NJ ISIS. 1t Is exceedingly
bad form to have "A card with simply
