NEARLY ALL PLACES FULL.
Only About 100 Army Appointments
Are Left.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin said today that there were
less than 100 appointments of volun-
teer officers yet to be made and that
they belong mainly to the states of
Wisconsin, California and Ohio. The
quotas of the other states are full. All
the field commissions in the volunteer
establishment have been distributed
with the exception of one lieutenant
colonelcy and ten majorities. The pres
ident has made small list from which
these appointments will be made, and it
is expected the result will be an
nOunced in a few days.
The governors of the state which con-
tributed colored troops to the volunteer
army in the war with Spain have been
requested by the secretary of war to
nominate company officers for the col
ored volunteer regiment TO be organized
for service in the Philippines. Colo
mel William P. DUvaI of the Twenty
sixth infantry, most probably, will have
command of the proposed regiment
The other regimental officers will be
secured from the regular service and
there is a general understanding that
most, if not all, the company officers
will be appointed from the colored regi-
ments which rendered such gallant and
efficient service in the battles of Ell
Caney and San Juan hill in the San
tiago campaign.

KANAKAS ARE DOOMED.
DR.. Sem Says They Will Pass Away
Like the Indians.

Chicago, Sept. I'm my judgment
history is repeating itself in our new
possessions, the Hawaiian islands. One
in every thirty of the natives has lep-
rosy, tuberculosis is making terrible
strides in the island, and look for the
slow but sure extinction of the Kan
akas by these agencies. The Hawaiian
islanders, like the North American In
dian, will in the near future, be a race
of the past"
These words sum up the situation in
the islands of the Pacific as viewed by
DR.. Nicholas Sem, the famous surgeon,
who today returned from an extended
vacation in Hawaii.
The doctor made a careful examina-
ton of the health of the natives with
consequent effects upon the Anglo
Saxon, and advises all who have a ten
dency to consumption, asthma or rheu-
matism to remain away from Hawaii.

CORN HAT FOR MISS GOULD.
Atchison Women Sends a Corn Carni-
val Souvenir.
[From the Atchison Globe. ]


Mrs. H. J. Cusack has completed
the corn hat for Miss Helen
Gould and it was sent to her to-
day. The hat is made entirely of corn
husks, the frame being made of woven
corn huslxs, braided as finely as an
imported straw. The hat is trimmed
with corn flowers of the shade of law
ender, heliotrope and royal purple with
beautiful tea roses, shaded to a delicate
pink. 1t should be remembered that
the hat and everything on it are made
of corn husks. The shape is particular
ly handsome, being of a late style that
looks handsome on the head. Mrs.
Cusack has made many handsome corn
hats before, but this knocks all of them
out. Mrs. Cusack refuses to put the
hat on exhibition, though AtchiSOn
people are very DESTROYS of seeing it.
She does not think it would be good
taste to exhibit something which is to
be given away as q present.

The question of why beef is high is
receiving much attention from the
press throughout the country The an
swer seems easy. Beef is high because
the meat trust has the power to make
it high. Not until the price of live
cattle advances in proportion to the
price of dressed beef will anybody be-
lieve that the existing condition is the
result of increased demand or a dimin-
fshed supply.
