ENGLISH SOLDIERS WILLS.
queer Testaments Left by Two Who
Were Fatally Stricken on
the Field.

How does the soldier, killed in battle
or fatally wounded, dispose of his prop
erty, providing he has any to leave
behind him? The list of casualties re-
ported regularly from South Africa
and the Philippines lend pertinence to
the inquiry. Every English soldier has
served out to him when he enlists lit
tie volume which contains. among other
things, three blank forms of will which
he is at liberty to fill out at his leisure.
In a majority of cases, however. he
pays no attention to this pocketbook
and goes into the battle with his will
still unmade. After he has been hit
by bullet and begins to realize that
his chances of getting home are small,
the soldier begins to think more care
fully of the loved ones left behind him
and of the provisions he has made for
their comfort. AS result many queer
and pathetic wills have been found
upon the bodies of the dead soldiers.
and in every case the wishes of the tes-
tator have been respected. During the
Soudan campaign of 1884 the body of
one soldier was found on the battle
field of FL Teb, who, before death had
scrawled with the end of a lead bullet
on the inside of his helmet the words
"All to my wife," When an English
army invaded Afghanistan one soldier
was caught while doing scout duty and
shot down when none of his comrades
were in sight. Weeks afterwards his
body was found lying before a tall rock
On which he had written in letters of
blood: Il want all to go to my moth
er." In both cases the war depart
ment held the wills to be valid. and saw
that the proper distribution of the prop
erty was made. Chicago Tribune.

Pays Every Day.

One New York millionaire who earn
ed his fortune by his own efforts under
rather disadvantageous circumstances
conducts his business in a way that is
highly original in many particulars.
One of the most striking of these is his
method of dealing with his employees.
They are paid every night, and at the
close of every business day all the ex-
penses Of running the business have
been met, and the manager knows just
how his affairs stand as far as that
feature of his business is concerned.
But that is not his object in paying
salaries every day instead Of following
the usual custom and waiting until the
end of the week or month. He employs
many men who have lost former stu
ations through intemperance, although
they were all men of ability in their
field If they severed their connection
practically with the establishment at
the close OF every business day, II
made no difference to the employer

James X. Jones advocated a measure

the Porto Ricans and put it in the

Failing III their efforts to make an is
sue their eyes were attracted across the
ocean and imperialism was sprung.
This issue has been aptly described to
mean that the democrats are all out of
office and want to get in office. 1t is
not new. Washington, Adams Jeffer-
son and Lincoln have all been accused
OF imperialistio tendencies and now
Mckinley is SO accused. Imperialism is
impossible when the great American
people elect congress, congress makes
the laws and the president executes
them. The fusionists believe it to be
proper that the German, the Swede, the
Frenchman and other foreigners should
live in this country for five years before
they are permitted to have q hand in
the government, but the black man and
the brown man of Porto Rico and the
Philippines should be allowed to assist
in running the government five min
utes after being admitted. The former
must take an oath to support the consti.
tuition and obey the laws of the land,

That Was Enthusiastically Received by
the Audience.
The Auditorium was we'll filled last
night by people who came out to hear
the political address OF Hon. Geo. ID.
Meiklelohn, assistant secretary of war.
There was no attempt mt n demonstra-
tion and the crowd came quietly and
went away quietly. The stage had
been decorated with flags. while large
picture of President Mckinley occupied
prominent place across the opening Of
one of the boxes.
The speaker was In good voice and
reviewed the issues Of the campaign in
n masterly manner that will unques-
tionably bear good results.
President Simpson of the Mckinley
Roosevelt club introduced Mayor Rob.
ertson rs the presiding officer of the
evening. He in turn introduced quar-
tet composed of Messrs. Patterson,
Parker, Cow and Thompson, who sang

speaker of the evening with II nice
little talk, reviewing the fact that he
came among us when almost boy
had very ably represented the Third
district in congress for two terms, and
hoped that he might represent the state
in the United States senate. This state
ment touched n responsive chord in the
audience and was literally applauded.
As the speaker walked to the front of
the platform he was accorded an en-.
thusiastic ovation.
Mr.. Meiklejohn began his address by
stating that it was not his desire to
criticise American citizens because they
differed from him in political belief but
he wished to discuss the issues compre.
hensively and point out the sign boards
along the way. The contest this fall is
between two great parties, one of which

while this government receives the de-
served scorn. and reproach of the

While it is important that President

he should be given strong right arm,
by the election of a republican congress
and that will be partially accomplished
by the election of John r.. Hays of Nor
folk. This sentiment was productive
of prolonged applause and cheering.
In closing his speech Mr.. Meiklejohn
said that Mr.. Dietrich was as good as
elected but the people should give him n
nice complimentary vote and this was
also roundly applauded.
The meeting was closed by the audi
ence joining in and singing "Amerca"

leader Of the opposition required but

Prosperity ia shown by the railroads.
In the Cleveland times 30 per cent of
the men employed were thrown out of
work, now they are back IN their places.
Then the side tracks were full of empty
cars; now they are filed with loaded
trains with the engineer at the head,
waiting for the signal to go.
In the republican platform of 1883 at
Chicago was inserted the first plank
against trusts by any political party and
its author was VIM. Mckinley. He
went on to show that the republican
party had been consistent in it's opposi.
ton to trusts while the democratic
course was marked with insincerity.
The fusion representatives in congress
from Nebraska had voted against a
measure increasing the powers of the
executive in handling trusts. James ID.
