SAYS He Didn't Order Out Kentucky
Soldiers on Election Day.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 5.--(By Associa-
ted Press Zine electoral canvass con-
ued today, the counties to which no
objection was made being entered as
returned, the others passed for later
consideration. In the midst OF the pro-
ceedings Governor Bradley walked into
the room and asked to be permitted to
make statement, which was accord
ed. He denied with some asperity the
statement that he had soldiers there
in citizens clothes. He declared that
not single soldier was there by his
order; that some of the officers had
come. but not by his orders. He then
left the room and addressing the crowd
outside asked it to disperse, telling one
man wearing uniform to go and take
it off,

a JUHlsr DEAD.
Judge Johns. Woolson Dies Uncxpect-
r eddy Mt Des Moines.

Des Moines, Dec. 5.-Judge John S.
Woolson, of the United States district
court, died at his home in this city
yesterday afternoon after an illness of
three months. He was one of Iowa's
best known jurists and was generally
recognized as an able and upright man.
Funeral services will be held at 2
o'clock Thursday afternoon in Mt.
Pleasant, his old home, where he will
be buried. There will be services at 2
o'clock Wednesday afternoon at his
late residence in Des Moines.
Judge Woolson was born in Erie
county. New York, in 1910. He went
with his father to Mt. Pleasant in 1856.
After graduating from Wesleyan uni
versity he studied law.
Judge Woolson was member of the
Iowa state senate for ten years, end
ing in 1891, representing Henry and
Jefferson counties part of the time,
and Henry and Washington counties
the remainder of the time. He took a
leading place in the legislature and
was chairman of the judiciary commit
tee for some time, one of the most inn
portant places in the assignment of
committee chairmanships. He was al
so member of the committees on rail-
roads, schools, labor, suppression of
intemperance, etc., and in all legisla-
ton the work and mark of Judge
Woolson was felt. In 1854 he was
nominated for congress at Washing
ton, Ia, his competitors for the nomi-
nation being Judge Stutsman, of Bur-
lingtor, and Hon. NJ. A. McCoid, of
Fairfield, who was the then congress-
man. In the campaign which follow
ed the, nomination, he was defeated by
the Hon. Benton J. Hall, of Burling-
ton, the democratic nominee, and he
remained i'll the senate till he went
upon the bench. In memorable con-
vention at Wayland in 1890, he was re-
nominated for the state senate over
Judge Dewey, of Washington county,
after prolonged balloting. Then Dew
ey was elected district judge, Woolson
went on the bench, and Colonel Pal
mer went to the senate.
Judge Woolson was married to Ny
IA Bird, daughter of DR.. Wellington
Bird, and has four children living

NOTES NOT NEGOTIABLE.
An Important Mutual Insurance Decis.
f0n Hand ed Down

Des Moines, Dec. 5.-Judge Prouty
Saturday issued an opinion of much in
terest to policyholders of the two NUT
ual insurance companies which recently
went into the hands of receivers. it
was in the case of Osborn VS.. the
Iowa Mutual Fire Insurance COM
pany.
The officers of the company some
time ago saw fit to borrow money to
pay some of the company's losses and
its operating expenses and negotiated
loans from the Home Savings bank, H.
L. Teachout and H. c. Hansen. To se-
cure the loans they deposited as collat-
eral number Of the premium notes
given by persons carrying insurance in
the company. w. C. Miller, the re-
ceiver, discovered that these notes were
missing from the assets of the COM
pany when he took charge of affairs
and upon learning what disposition had
been made of them, brought suits to re-
cover them. He took the position that
the company, being organized on a
mutual basisand the notes having been
given merely as guarantee of the
payment of such assessments as it
might be necessary to make against
policyholders to pay the losses and ex-
penses OF the company, the liability OF
the makers was only contingent one
and that therefore the paper was not
negotiable and could not be deposited
as collateral for money borrowed, that
the very act was fraudulent and con-
trarv to the contract entered into be-
tween the company as whole and its
individual members. He demanded that
the notes be returned to him without
consideration.
Judge Prouty held that the receiver
might recover the, notes and hold them
as portion of the assets of the com.
pany, insisting upon the payment of
any portion of them that might be nee
essary in order to meet the liabilities
OF the company, but that to secure pos
session of them he must first pay to
the bank and to Messrs. Teachout and
Hansen the sum of money they have
advanced on them, without interest.

L. ". Willis Meets Death by Fallin:
or a Burlington Train.

Abba, Dec. 81. w. Willis, of Ford;
was killed by falling from the Bur-
lington branch passenger between this
city and Des Moines last Sunday even
ing. Mr.. Willis and brother had
started to Abba to pay visit to some
friends and while the train was in mo-
ton Willis yent out onto the plat
form, and it is supposed lost his bal
ance and fell from the train. The
place where he fell was at one of the
covered bridges this side of Ford. As
he struck the timbers his head was
,mashed beyond recognition and death
must have been instant. He was not
missed until the train was near Abba.
and by that time the section men had
found him lying across the track. The
body was taken back to his late home
in Ford.

The Graphic again demonstrated the difference yesterday between a Sunday morning daily and Sunday morning weekly newspaper. The Sunday Morning Daily Graphic con- tained full and complete account of the burning of the opera house at l o'clock that morning and by 6 o'clock was on the streets with the news. Many people throughout the city did not know there had been a fire that morning until the Daily Sunday Morning Graphic was de- liyered to subscribers. The Sunday morning weekly papers came along in due time, but neither of them had a word about the conhagration and their readers were left in blissful ignorance of the fire. The Graphic has often asserted and it cannot be controverted, that it is the only Pine Bluff newspaper appearing on the streets on Sunday with "news while it is news It is due to tkis fact that the Daily Sunday Morning Graphic is so eagerly sought after and so liberally patronizei by local merchants.

ALARCE INCREASE WAR DEPARTMENT ORDERS 57,OOO MEN TO BE
 ENLISTED. UNDER THE NEW LAW. Mixed Regiments Will Be Formed In Colonies to Prevent
 Nutiny.
 
UNDER THE NEW LAW.

Washington, March 4 V Uncle Sam is in need of 57, GOO men for the army. That they may be obtained as rapidly as possible, instructions have been sent by Secretary Alger to all recruiting officers to make as many eLlistments as possible. To aid them in their work, the Score tary has authorized them to adYer- tise freely, and to expedite enlist ments it has been determined to as sign twenty-five additional officers to recruiting duty, making ninety five officers engaged in the work.
 Returns received by Adlutant General Corbin show that there are today 40, 900 men who have enlisted in the United States service for three years, aud this number may be largely increased by the re en- listment of many volunteers, who have announced thelr intention of remaining in the service.
 h addition to Americans, it is proposed by the department to take advantage of that provision of the new army law, which permits the enlistment of natives of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
 It is not intended, however, fa form regiments composed so'e.q of natives. The programme, so Id IS decided upon, eontemplates tbe fof- nation of mixed regiments-th5J is, American and natives, with Ameri- can officers. Just how many of these regiments will be authorized is a question to be settled within the next week. If desired, the de- pertinent could organize 30 of these regiments, that many being author ized. In mixing the men the au- thorities believe they will be able to prevent mutiny or any other militia ry crimes in which the natives might attempt to engage.
 President Mckinley has selected Colonel F. c. Ainsworth for the ap- pointment of Brigadler General. and John Tweedale for the appointment of Major under the provision of the new law, giving the Chief of the Record and Pension Office of the War Department the rank, pay and allowances of a Brigadier General and allowing an assistant chief of the office who shall have the rank Of a Major.
 Colonel Ainsworth is now chief of the Record and Pension1OH1ee, and Mr. Tweedale is chief clerk of the War Department.
