Tricks of Soldiers

Late news FROM Manila casts serious
reflections on some officers and soldiers
OF the American army. 1t is told that
self-infiicted wounds have become so
common that Gen1 Otis has issued
orders for strict investigation of every
case reported. These self-inhicted
wounds in the hands or feet and claimed
to be accidental usually happen on the
ontposts and secure for the wounded
easy discharges. Surely the men
must be taking desperate chances to
get back to American soil.

will, but every time the GROWERS hear
a dollar jingling they go to dancing.
We have come to the conclusion that
this world is so bright that even the
raindrops are little beads of light.
The literary club met last night to
reform American literature. Very lit
tie was accomplished, as several po-
licemen, fully armed, were present.
The rain proved a great blessing TO
us. 1t killed off all the four-cent cot

trict, where there are no tax coll
lectors.
There will be no preaching in town

away. They have since decided that
they won't interfere in these matters
any more.-Atlanta Constitution.

IMPORTATION OF SHEEP.
Gov. Smith issues q Stringent Prodama-
ton on the Subject.

Helena, April 19.-Gov. Smith to-
day issued a new proclamation gov
erning the Importation Of sheep into
and through the state, which is the
most stringent V e issued in the
northwest. In previous years it had
been provided that all sheep must be
quarantined at their destination at
least 80 days, unless sooner released
by order OF the state veterinarian.
The new proclamation provides that
all sheep upon arrival at the state
line of Montana OF at the nearest
point to their destination, or before
being turned out uponpublic domain,
shall be dipped twice, the second dip
ping to occur between 10 and II days
after the first. They must then be
held until a sufficient time has elapsed
in the judgment Of the state veteri-
marian to determine whether the
sheep are free from disease, and then
may be released upon certificate OF
health. The former 9O-day quaran-
tine may still be enforced If the veter-
marian thinks necessary. The new
proclamation was made at the re-
quest OF the sheep men Of the state,
and is the result of a serious epidemic
OF scab that last year caused much
trouble. Many high grade bucks
will be imported this year, audit was
from them that the disease last year
gained a foothold. Sheepmen also
anticipate the driving OF large num-
bers of sheep across the state from
the west.
