The Fool List Increasing.

The United States army and
navy, so it seems, has about as
many ninnies under the folds of its
flag as any organization in the
world. Pat Esgan made a fool of
himself With his pen; General Miles
shot off his mouth about embalmed
beef; Coghlan made speech and
now comes Admiral Kautz, who
wrote a silly letter to a cousin of
his in Cincinnati, and the same was
made public Now, all ofGermany is
red hot over the matter. 1t looks
like before we can apologize for
the action of one fool, half dozen
springs up in another place.
When foreign nations understand
this country better, they will know
how to take such letters and as
sertions and know that it is the
individual doing the talking and not
the government. This is free
country and man cannot be jailed
for shooting of his mouth, either
in or out of the army, when his
language is not that of profanity.
Kautz is a good soldier, a brave
man, but a poor letter writer and
has the misfortune of having a fool
cousin who had a private letter
made public.

After Timber Cutters,

lu the case of Charles Niemeyer,
of the Saginaw Lumber company
at Saginaw, Ark, which has been
on trial in the United States court
for the past three days, the court
yesterday returned a verdict o1
guilty and assessed the value OF
the timber at $939,59 which means
a fine of $2,2l8.77 and costs on each
defendant and such Imprisonment
as the court may impose. This is
one of five informations against
the same parties, who are the prin
cipdI officers of the corporation.
The government claims that over
six million feet Of timber has beer
cut by this company of lands home
steaded and after the timber had
been cut off mostly abandoned ant
no doubt civil suits will be entered
soon to recover the value of that
timber.
