a Way to Lay the "Spectre Rouge"
Some Southern physicians are asserting
the belief that the epidemic OF outrage.

sweeping over the section is due TO pro-

If ii be really true that the thermometer

any improper or unlawful designs which

The only question in Cleveland Is as to how

blowing up with dynamite, il is high

MIscH1EvoUs WEST POINTERS.
Perpetrators of an Exciting Joke Be
trnyed bN Dirty Guns

trnyed by Dirty Guns
West Point. N. Y, July 2T.-While the
cadets were sleeping soundIy in their tents
at o'clock this morning they were rudely
awakened by the sound OF musketry fired
from different parts of the camp For a
time it seemed to them as though they
had been attacked by part of Aguinaldo' 5
army. The whole camp was aroused and
the officers and guard went hurrying
through the camp to ascertain the cause of
this unusual early morning disturbance.
1t was soon made apparent to the officers
that the cadets had managed to secure
some blank ammunition and had again
been indulging in more mischief. The
shots came from SO many different parts
of the camp that it was impossible to
locate the culprits. but the officers hit on
a plan whereby they would be able TO
ind the guilty parties. The long roll was
sounded and every cadet was turned out
under arms. An inspection of the suns
soon disclosed the guilty parties. Eight
cadets. whose guns were dirty, were sim
gled out from the ranks and placed under
arrest The time was so short between
the firing and roll-call that they did not
have time to clean out the barrels OF their
rifles. This fact proved beyond doubt their
guilt from the fact that at parade the
evening before every rifle was inspected
and found in perfect condition. The men
employed about the camp We're kept busy
next day picking up empty shells. After
the eight men were taken out and placed
in arrest the battalion was drilled for
an hour out on the plain and then marched
back to their tents only to be awakened
shortly afterward by the reveille drums.
There, has been a great deal of mischief
going on in the camp this summer and the
authorities are determined to stop 1t.

AIger's Consolation.
CFrom the Utica Observer }

Secretary Alger in retiring pays an uncon-
scious tribute to honesty in his boast about the
way he handled the Spanish prisoners The fact
is that the only sensible thing was done with
the Spanish prisoners that could be done with
them, and the contract for their transportation
was let TO the lowest bidder The matter was
handled without scandal or confusion, and if Sec
retary Alger takes 'pardonable PRIDE in it, it is
ungracious to begrudge him the poor satisfaction
because there is very little else in his admins
tration that give him real satisfaction It
was the real business performance of his ad-
ministration that free from obbery. 1t is
therefore tribute to honesty from an unexpected
source when Alger selects this transaction as the
one conspicuous act of his administration in
which he takes a 'pardonable pride"

NEW YoRK's DEWEY RECEPTION
A Scheme for brilliant IIIcn,ina-

New York, July 27.-The committee of
plan and scope of the Dewey reception
celebration held an executive Sc: sion to-
day 1t was the last executive meeting
that the committee will holI. 1t has been
decided hereafter to admit newspaper re-
porters to the committee meetings on ac-
count OF the criticisms which have been
aroused by the secrecy surrounding all
the plans for the reception. At today's
meeting the committee considered a plan
submitted by Lewis Nixon. of the sub
committee on fireworks, for the illumina-
ton of the entire city by electric lights
during the three nights following the Ad-
lnirafs arrival in this country. Mr.. Nixon
suggested also that there be pyrotechnic
displays in each Of the five boroughs.
Governor Roosevelt, il was announced,
had written to the press committee say
ing that he could not endorse scheme
of parade of Rough Riders, because he
did not want them used for advertising
purposes The press committee desires

out that it was the intention TO entertain
out -of-town newspaper men at the city's
expense. The committee intends mercis
to &iford for out-of-town newspaper men
the same facilities for gathering the news
which are provided for New York papers
In the afternoon the committee took a
trip in Mr.. Nixon's yacht around the har-
Dor and the North and East Rivers over
the route to be taken by the Olympia, and

W. Treager, architect from Peoria, Ill.
He has been down at Lannan's Spur
the past three months putting in a
large gold saving plant, for the Peoria
@. q e. Mining Co. The plant is fit
ted out with cyanide and electric
plates. He claims with this process.
dirt running 40 cents in gold to the
yard can be made to pay. He has tried
the process in Colorado and it worked
all right there and he sees no reason
whatever, why it should not work here.
We hope the process will be a success,
for If it will do all he claims for it, it
will work a revolution in Snake river
placer mining. Mr.. Treager was called
to Peoria this week by a telegram stat.
ing that his wife was very sick, He
expects to return in few weeks, and
win then give the matter a thorough
test.

their sons and daughters go out from

see if they are not worthy of your high

lieve that BOISE wont raise the amount.

The Kissing Bug.

We hear whole lot nova days
about the kissing bug" and the deaths
he is causing down in the New Eng
land States, as if it is something new.
But it isn't, not bit of it. Ever since
the time that Cain drifted over into
the land of Nod the danger of the kiss
ing bug has been imminent, and many
has been the times that death has Oc-
CURED from its manifestations. For
instance, if man kisses some other
mans wife, or some young fellow an.
other fellows sweetheart, we would
call that kissing bee,-and a bee is a
bug, ergo kissing-bug-and in about 5
cases out of ten death is the result. So
deaths do not occur every time, and in
the case of the kissing bug" down in
the New England States, death occurs
but seldom. kissing bugs" down in
the New England States ought to be
hailed as a public beuefactor, so many
are the ladies and so few the men, and
rs on the average only three deaths oc.
cur out of the hundred, and that only
when the kissed persons blood is out
of order, it ought to be given a tender
reception. 1t ought to be wined and
dined and made much over. It's a
whole lot more harmless than some
other bugs we might mention. and they
are not necessarily gold bugs, either.
