they would be paid for both July and
August, but will have to be content for
the present for one month. When the
final muster out and payment occurs
each man will receive four months pay,
travel pay and clothing allowances,
which will bring the aggregate in the
neighboorhood of SITS.
All officers of the regiment are working
like beavers today on the rolls. Word

erything must be in readiness for the
ordnance officer, who will receive all
arms and accoutrements on Friday and
Saturday. For this reason, no leaves OF
absence are granted except for impera-
tive reasons
The men in the hospital are doing
finely. Joseph Wurcer, who was report
ed as fatally Ill, is beginning to recover
and the doctors are hopeful that he will
pull through. Corporal Fred Hanche is
beginning to improve and will be all right

participate in the welcome.
DR.. Park Richie of St Paul, and
wife, are here, but no official delegation,

who come will receive one OF the grand
est welcomes ever known. ard it will be
one continual round of pleasure.

TWO PHILPOTs KILLED.
Participants In Recent Clay County
Feud Meet Death.

LONDON, KY, Sept. 5.-Persons arriv-
ing here from Manchester, Ky, report
the killing in Clay county of two of the
Phi1pots, participants in the famous Phil
pot-Griffin feud. in which five men were
shot to death and others wounded on July
II last.
Manchester is nearly forty miles from
here, and can only be reached by a rug
ged mountain road, and 1t has been inn
possible to verify the story. 1t is in all
probability true, however, as there has
been reign Of terror in that county
for the past week. Those who brought
the rumor to London did not know which
Of the Philpots had been killed, but said
they had heard that George Philpot, head
Of the Philpot family, was one of the
dead.
It is thought that the tragedy, if it took
place, was the result of the bitter feeling
which has recently developed between the
Whites and their friends and the Philpots
AMI their supporters, growing out of the
fact that George Philpot, who has a
strong following throughout the county,
is a candidate for sheriff of Clay county,
against the incumbent. Beverly D.
White Jr. Friends of White have been
fearing his assassination ever since Tom
Baker was killed at his home last June,
and White has found it necessary to keep
up a regular army of $50 deputy sheriffs.

By a vote Of to 1 President Pottgieser
voting in the negative all the bids for as
phalt paving were rejected and the clerk
directed to readvertise. The bids for
asphalt were all much higher than the
estimate of the city engineer, and the
average price per square yard was $3.50,
as against $3.50 as the estimate of the
city engineer. President Pottgieser
insisted that the contracts be awarded,
contending that the delay by readvertis-
ing meant that the improvements would
not be made this year The other mem
bers, however, took a different view of
the question and declared the city should
not be obliged to pay more than the paw
ing was worth.
Fielding & Shepley were awarded the
contracts for paving Wabasha street
