AN ECCENTRIC VETERAN.
Judge kimball Orders an Examin,
tion as to His Sanifx


tiOn as to His sanity.
Martin Nolan, an aged veteran of the
civil war, was arraigned in the Police
Court today charged with being vagrant
He was arrested yesterday at the request
of the authorities of the National Soldiers
Home, by Mounted Policeman E. T. Eli
oft, after having created disorder in the
dining groom of that institution.
Policeman Elliott stated that several
days ago Nolan came to the Home and
was allowed to remain there pending the
outcome of his application for an increase
of pension. Ever since his admission, how
ever, Nolan has caused much trouble.
During the night he would get up and
alarm the inmates of the sleeping quarters
of the Home by making patriotic speeches,
singing war songs, anr relating incidents
of his prowess in battle.
Nolan, when taken in charge by the po-
liceman, stated that the Government was
indebted to him for over $1,000,000 and
that it was through his efforts the Union
was saved. Some of the old soldiers liv-
ing at the Home were inclined to take is
sue with Nolan and thought that they also
deserved some of the credit for the sue
cessful termination of the civil war This
angered Nolan and yesterday morning the
argument became SO heated that he threat
ened to destroy the entire Home and throw
out the occupants.
During all the time the policeman was
testifying in court today Nolan remained
standing in the prisoners dock, his eyes
flashing and his body trembling with emo
tion Come up here and tell me about
this case said Judge Kimball to the
prisoner, after the policeman had finished
giving his evidence. The old man stepped
from the dock, removed his long black
overcoat, brushed back his gray locks,
stood at attention, and saluted the court
Your honor, this country owes me a
debt of gratitude which it can never pay
was the old soldiers opening statement.

PUBLISHED BY THE POLICE.
Major Sylvester Launches q New
Daily Newspaper.


Daily Newspaper.
A brand new daily paper made its first
appearance in this city yesterday with an
established circulation, no advertisements,
and complete printing plant of its own.
The paper in question was the Daily Po-
lice Bulletin with Major Richard Syives-
ter, Superintendent Of Folice, as editor-in
chief, and Inspector Robert Boardman,
Chief Of Detectives, as managing editor.
The man who does all the work connected
with the Office is Private William Amiss,
until short time ago chief clerk Of the
Detective Bureau. Amss is proof reader,
compositor city editor, telegraph editor,
and star reporter The police and detec-
tive forces serve as reportorial staff, and,
while they do not turn out very much mat
ter, their stories" are always pertinent to
the business of the day.
The paper has an established circulation
of eleven copies. The copies printed go to
the nine precinct stationhouSes the
Majors Office and the Detective Bureau.
1t has larger reportorial staff probably
than any other newspaper in the world and
smaller editorial department. The size
of the publication can give no idea of its
Importance as it is smaller than a piece OF
note paper, but it is of the greatest value
TO the police. ii is an afternoon paper, and
will be issued direct from the press at 80
p. m. every day of the week.
The Daily Bulletin" is one of Major Syl-
vester's ideas for the improvement of the
police force. A similar paper is printed in
Chicago and several of the larger cities of
the United States. These, however, are
distributed throughout the United States
and it is thought that, after the Washing
ton paper becomes firmly established, it,
too, will be widely distributed.
The paper contains only such informa-
tion as would be valuable to the police ana
this is put in the most condensed form
There are absolutely no words wasted, as
the size of the paper will not admit 1t.
Every item given, however, is in the most
complete form.
The office of the Bulletin" has been set
up in the property room in the rear of the
District building. Everything pertaining
10 a complete printing office has been in
stalled there. Editor Amiss has every fa-
Guilty at hand and being skillful work.
man ii only requires short time to have
the paper set up and the press going.
Amiss' duties as chief clerk Of the Detec-
tive Bureau have been detrimental TO his
general health and that is one of the rea-
sons he was made city editor of the "Bul-
letin,' the Major contending that the ex-
eTcise OF running the paper would do him
good.

The MOdesty of Merit.

The new Army Register" which will be
out in few days, will show some inter-
esting facts. Probably the most interest
ing are the names of a number of officers
who declined volunteer rank which would
have brought them greater pay and high
er title. Among them are:
Major John A. Johnston. Adjutant Gen
erals Department, who declined a commits
sion of lieutenant colonel; Capt. William
E. Craighill, Engineer Corps, who declined
a majors commission: Major Charles
Shaler Ordnance Corps, who declined a
commission of lieutenant colonel; Lieut.
Golden L. H. Ruggles, Ordnance Corps,
who declined a majors commission, and
Lieut.. Walter E. Short, Tenth Cavalry, who
declined a captains commission as assist
ant adjutant general.

rupted the prisoner and asked him to ex-
plain his presence in Washington al the
present time. Nolan said that he came
here from Manchester, Va, to secure an
increase of pension. 81 was the best man
that ever wore uniform in the Fourth
West Virginia Infantry and this country
only gives me s17 month for my SER
vices" said the veteran with great indig
nation.
Judge Kimball told the aged veteran to
step back in the dock and ordered that an
investigation be made as to his sanity.

ut Is probably futile to attempt
to reduce general law, or to define
IN belts, the location of the ore dis
trict in this region. From the COM
pick nature of the movements of dis.
'urbanee that must have taken place,
which alone appear to have infuenc-
ed the special naturalization of GER
tain areas, such attempts at broad
generalization must be imperfect and
liable to error.
Broadly speaking, the ore depos-
its are mineralized zones of brecciat-
ed ebert, more or less intermingled
with limestone, and the product of
its alteration and decomposition.
These mineralized zones or compound
runs show, in many districts in the
Southwest, marked tendency to
form in the areas of intersection of
different assure and cross-6ssure sys-
TENS, and to be favorably influenced
by the local occurrence in the Chero-
kee formation of thick strata made
up of thin layers of interstratifed
ebert and limestone.

are of remarkable size, especially in
the vicinity of Webb City and Jop-
lin, Mo, and Galena, Kan, where
slopes occur rs to $50 feet wide, 40

long, from which all the extracted

to 80 feet high and continuously ore

connected workings for a length of
nearly 900 feet on the course OF the

AS the man Of pleasure, by vain

PEOPLE who don't read papers
and consequently don't know what
is going on in the world, are the
ones the gold brick and three-minute
churn sharps inquire for when they
go INTO a neighborhood. They want
no other meat or easier game to
catch Many men too poor to take
a paper are really poor because they
don't do so. A man who can buy
intelligence for a dollar a year in adj
vance and refuses to do so, is a
sucker easy to bite at any bait that
looks like fly.

The Ozark Uplift is mineral re.

other mineral countries, were Great
ed without the agency of fire. Evil
dences of igneous action are want

in practical operation been widely

garded by the geological survey ut

blazed the path to scientific knowl-
edge of the mineral fields OF the Ozark
Uplift, says;
THE mining fields of the Ozark
Uplift, designated by Whitney as the
comprise the ieau dIsrrcr OF oouIn-
east Missouri and the lead and zinc
fields of Southwest Missouri. The
first district is of limited ex-
tent, embracing portions of Jefferson,
Washington, St. Francis, St. Gene
we've and Madison, covering an IT.
regular area in the northeastern part
OF the Ozark upheaval. The lead
and zinc mining district of the South
west covers that section of the coun-
try drained by the tributaries OF the
Missouri and Mississippi Rivers,
where the states of Missouri, Kan
sas and Arkansas and the Indian
Territory corner nearly together.
IN Kansas only the southeastern
part of Cherokee county, the extreme
southeastern corner of the state, be

souri, are included the counties Of
Tasper. Newton, Mcdonald, Barry

Christian, Douglass, Greene, Web
ster, Wright, Polk, Dallas, Camden
and Morgan, constituting the south
western section of the state In Ar
kansas this mineral region covers
the northwestern tier of counties
embracing Benton, Carroll, Madi

some outlying deposits in Lawrence
county. The field also extends into
the northeastern part of the Indian
Territory, covering, in the Cherokee
