SCHQF|HD UNDER FIRE.
Maj. George A. Armes Files Some
Very Sensational Charges
with the President.
rRYIHe TO UNDERMINE GEN. NILES
Armes Says schofieid Obtained His Posi-
ton by Political Intrigue. Treach cry
and Deceit-Hints at the ANITA gonism of
Army Ring-Dewey and Merritt DID
Not Work In Harmony.

Washington. Sept. 1S-Maj. George
a. Armes, retired army officer, has
fled with the president formal pro-
test against the appointment of Gen.
]. M. Schofeld on the Alger commits
sion of inquiry. Armes calls attention
to some correspondence he has recent
ly furnished the secretary of war in
regard to Gen. Schofeld. These let
tiers charged Gen. Schofield with cow
ardice and attempts to shun danger.
Maj. Armes states:
think the records will also show that he
claimed credit for the victory at the battle Of
Franklin, and was breveted through misrepre
sentation- The medal he now wears was
self-conferred distinction for imaginary serv
ices The records will also bear me ont in say.
ing that he has shielded officers of the army
whom he knew to be guilty of offenses for
which they would have been cashiered sent
to prison, in order to save his friends In my
opinion he is trying to undermine Gen Nelson
A Miles submit that it is not fair treat
ment for Gen. Miles to throw him into eclipse
by giving this man Schofield any recognition
whatever-a man whose high rank lieuten-
ant general has been obtained by political in
tr1gue, treachery and deceit The time has
come when this man Schodeld should cease to
pose a great man.
Armes protested to Secretary Alger
when he heard that Gen. Schofleld had
been summoned to Washington in an
advisory capacity, and the incensed
officer insists that it was this protest
of his which led to the withdrawal of
Gen. Schofield from the scene early in
the war. The latest protest fled di-
rectly with the president is an effort
to attract the presidents attention to
what Armes believes is the antagon-
is N of an army ring. The whole trans
action is remarkable, and will possibly
attract great deaf of attention in the
war department.. It is a serious charge
which Armes makes against Gen. Scho-
field, and equally serious charges are
made against Gen. James f. Wade.
Story About Dewey and Merritt.
Washington, Sept. 1S.-The dis
patches received from Gen. Otis afford
ed the president and the members of
the cabinet much satisfaction. The
administration is now confident that
no further trouble from the Philippine
islanders is to be feared. 1t is admit
ted in administration circles that the
condition of things at Manila has i'm
proved very much since Gen. Merritt's
departure. Gen. Merritt and Admiral
Dewey are said not to have worked in
perfect harmony. Gen. Otis and the
admiral are in thorough accord and
the result has been very decided and
a very gratifying Improvement in the
situation since Gen Merritt turned
over his command to Gen. Otis The
department has had no word from Gen.
Merritt, but he is expected to arrive
in Paris about the same time the peace
commission gets there.

PREACHER CONVICTED OF THEFT

Whitewater, March 5.-A colored
Methodist minister named Chase, who
lived at Whitewater, has been found
guilty of robbing his neighbors.
Farmers in the vicinity had been miss
ing various articles for some time and
one of them hit on a novel plan for
identifying his property. He drove
nails into the ends of corn in a crib
from which he had been missing corn
occasionally. A few days after he
had set this trap corn was missed and
as the preacher had been suspected the
farmer went to investigate. He found
the corn and the preacher was prompt
ly arrested and given the attentive
of fine or thirty days Imprisonment.
The negro couldn't pay, so he was
locked up. The first night he was in
jail he escaped but was found at his
home hid in trunk, and taken to the
Elkhorn jail. Chase had lived in
Whitewater for three years and
preached irregularly at Hebon and
other neighboring places.

HOW TO PRAY.

And the only proper attitude,
Is down upon his knees.
No; | should say the way to pray, .
Said Rev. DR.. Wise,
is standing straight with outstretched
arms
And rapt and upturned eyes
oh, no, no, no! said Elder Slow;
Such posture is too proud,
A man should pray with eyes fast
closed
And head contritely bowed"
1T seems to me his hands should be
Austerely clasped in front,
With both thumbs pointing toward the
ground
Said Rev. DR.. Hunt.
Las year fell in Hodgins' well
Head first" said Cyrus Brown,
With both my heels a-stikin up,
My head a-pintin' down;
An I made prayer right then an
there
Best prayer I ever said
A-standin 'on my head"
