CAN THEY PREVENT

Letter Sent Out by Sheridan
Post Caused Sen
SatiOn.
DOES THE STATE LAW APPLY
Members Who are Delinquent are
Threatened With Being Dropped
From the Rolls and Told That
No Dropped Member Has
Right to Wear the Button.

G. A. r. comrades and veterans OF the
civil war not connected with the G. A.
R., are greatly interested in the action
taken by Phil Sheridan Post, No. %, G.
A. R., in sending out letters to delin.
quent members notifying them that no
less they pay up by December l9, 1900,
they will be dropped from member
ship
A letter received by one delnquen.
member was as follows:
"Your attention is respectfully called
TO the amount of your dues which is
-, this will have to be settled by
December 10, 1900, or you will be
dropped"
Then follows extracts from the rules
saying that members six months in ar
rears may be suspended from all privi-
leges ii back dues are not paid within
two monts after being notified, and if a
member is one year in arrears he may be
dropped from the rolls after failure for
two months to pay up.
At the bottom of the letter to certain
members was the following: GAS the
amount you owe you stand suspended
ami under the laws of the State no drop
ped member has right to wear the q.
A. r. button" The letters were signed
by James F. Engle, quartermaster.
The statement that those members
would not be allowed to wear the be-
loved g. A. R. button is what has caused
great Indignation among many veterans.
The State law concerning the point
was embodied in bill drawn up by An
thony Higgins some years ago and pre-
sented to the Legislature and imposes a
fine of S25 on persons wearing G. A. r.
badge or button when not entitled to dc
go. 1t was aimed at persons imperson.
ating war veterans.
Thos. H. Fieese, the we'll known
special officer at the Opera House re-
ceived letter from the post and it is
said at once removed the G.. A. r. but
ton from his coat. Ex-Scout John Guth
rie also received a letter, but declare:
that he will continue to wear the button
as he paid for it and dares the post tC
have him fined for wearing it. He ciaim'
the State law does not apply to delin
quent q. A. r. members.

STILL WANT PIER REMOVED.
III. IL VI. Co.'s Reply to Levy Courts
Statements in Regard to
Market Street Bridge.

The Harlan 4 Hollingsworth Company
through its secretary, w. Dew. Dim
ock. has sent Il letter to the Secretary
of War rcfuting statements made by the
Levy Court in reply to the companys
original complaint.
They state that navigable waters are
not State but National property and that
it is not question of width that is
an impediment but rather that of ap-
proach to the draw, thereby limiting the
length of ships that can pass through.
AS to the suggestion that the objection
of the company is based on n problem
atical emergency they state that they
have now under construction steamer
three hundred and eighty-seven feet long
which they have every reason to be-
lieve will not he able to get through the
draw of the Market street bridge with
out warping, employing the use of tugs
&C., and with great labor and expense,
and possible damage. Again they have
within the last month been prevented
from bidding on two steamers which
were to he built for old customers of
theirs although they are thoroughly
equipped for their construction, owing
to the fact that their length was such,
viz: Over 500 feet, preventing their going
through said bridge under present cir
cumstances.
The company disburses yearly over
$1,0ooOOO in wages, and if the trouble
should be caused by the inconvenient
location Of the shipyards. the Levy
Court with the best interests of the city
mt stake would not desire its removal.
The company urges that their petition
of June 26 to have the centre pier re-
moved be granted.

ger, because there is the point that may
secure and hold the favorable attention
of fashion leaders. That is, the gowns
thus finished are Enthusiastically new. That
means so much that positive hideousness
may not count as a check. Autumn will
be well under way before the outcome of
the innovation can be foretold.
Just now there is not only no more of
this development than can be accounted
for by freakish taste, but there seems no
call for any of it. Skirts may be double,
triple or trimmed in so many different
ways that each wearer can select meth
cd to suit her taste or figure. Of course,
she ought always so to choose as to salts
fy her ideas and set herself off nicely,
but it isn't ever thus. Were it other
wise, instructive horrible examples would
be lacking. So many styles are permit
ted, however, that mistakes are more
dreadful than usual, and this license is so
pleasing in its results that women should
be reluctant again to join in striking
style so radically unlike its immediate
predecessors as to dominate the entire
field. When so much can be said of
what is permitted in skirts, it might be
expected that simplicity or some degree
of uniformity would prevail in bodieees.
Nothing of the sort exists. For every ac
ceptance below the belt, there are ten
above it. True, the bolero is present in
impressively large numbers, but once the
severely plain sorts that so with simple
gowns are counted out, there isn't the
slightest danger of monotony in these
Jackets. Between the materials employ
al tba variations in ont iudulped and fhe
almost countless sorts of trimmings and
schemes for applying it, woman with
half an idea of her own in her noodle

If there is one principle more deeply
written than aug other in the mind OF
every American it is that We should have
nothing to do with conquest. Thomas

Conquest. That is our object in the
Philippines. The Filipinos. A people
who gave up $4,000 lives to win their
independence from Spain, and had
beaten the Spanish soldiers back to Ma
Mia before Dewey entered the bay OF
Manila that morning in May, 1898.
Aguinaldo The trusted leader of the
Filipinos. A man imbued with the spir-
it of liberty, familiar with the Declare
ton of Independence and with the con-
stitution of the United States, furnish
ed with arms and used as an ally by
Dewey, believing all the time that the
defeat of Spain by the United States
meant independence, not conquest, for
the FiIipinos. 1t was the devilish lust
of conquest that made our administra-
ton, our government, play false to
Aguinaldo and the Filipinos.
Neither our Declaration of Independ-
ence, nor our constitution, nor our ira
ditions, nor our form of government
contemplate conquest, which is neither
more nor less than national piracy

Importance of Late crops.

If farmers will consider that from one
to three tons of cured provender may be
grown on an acre, and they will take
advantage of the summer season for so
doing, they can greatly enlarge their
capacity for feeding stock during win
ter. Hungarian grass is a crop that
grows more rapidly than millet, and it
Is one of the most efficient weed de-
stroyers known, even the Canada thistle
being unable to make Roadway against
it. AS it soon reaches the cutting stage
of growth it will afford two or more
rnowings, which will destroy any weeds
that have the ability to compete with
the crop. The stubble remaining over
serves to protect the soil during the
winter. Rape may also be cut two or
three times, but requires good land.
The rule is to turn sheep on the rape,
using hurdles, and make a profit on the
mutton. Cow-peas equal clover as
hay crop. The plants also benefit the
soil by storing nitrogen therein. Many
advise the growing of cow-peas as
green manurial crop entirely, but it is
more profitable to NOW and cure for
hay, as the manure will return to the
soil that portion not shipped to market
In the forms of meat, milk or butter.
The cow-pea shades the land complete
Iy when broadcasted and provides IA
vorable conditions for the recuperation
of the soil. Whether for hay or for
blowing under any of the crops men
toned the farmer should not permit his
growing corn to take the whole of his
time from the summer crops.
