Considering Such Plan.
Des Moines, Ia, May 21-Adjutant
General Byers is entertaining the idea
Of entirely recognizing the National
Guard of Iowa within the next year.
The projected scheme includes the for
nation of new companies to take tha
places of those companies which fail
to reach the most reasonable standard
on official inspection, the changing of
the company names and the designa-
tions of the regiments.
While General Byers does not talk
freely concerning his plans in regard to
this matter, 1T is known in general
way that the reorganized companies in
some localities are distinctly disap-
pointing. Their records on inspection
have been discouraging They seem to
have lost that esprit de corps which
seems essential to the success of the
guard.

ents at Mapleton, Ia, who has been
working near Cascade, this county, saws
he was shot this morning by Pat Grove.
Dalkins had been seeking the alleged as
sailants arrest for several days, and
Saturday night engaged the man in con-
versation and bought him whisky, while
Dallkins drank cold tea he had previously
supplied to the bartender. About mid
night the men separated.
AT o'clock this morning Dalkins
aroused a doctor and showed a wicked
wound just below his heart.
Dalkins said Grove had shot him. A
posse was organized and captured the
supposed Grove, who was sleeping in a
barn with a companion. Both surren-
dered without parley and both professed
ignorance of the shooting, claiming to
have been sleeping for several hours The
wounded man and the prisoners were
brought here this afternoon. Dalkins
went to hospital where his condition
is considered serious. The supposed
Grove was recognized as Harry Mcbride.
released a week ago from the County

held pending further investigation Off

BIC EXPOSITION ,
At CHARLESTON
Impressive Religious Ex-
ercises Precede For
NAL Opening.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec 1-Impres-
s1ve religious exercises intended as a pre-
lude to to-morrow's opening of the South
Carolina Interstate and West Indian Ex-
position were held at the exposition
grounds this afternoon. The naming of
December 1 as the opening day of the ex-
position was without consulting the calen-
dar, and the fact that December was
Sunday was discovered only a short time
ago. 1t was then decided that a proper
way to fulfill the promise made in the
resolution as to the opening was to hold
exercises appropriate to the day. Ellison
Capers, Episcopal Bishop of South Caro-
lima, made the invocation. A dedication
ode by George Herbert Sass of Charles
ton, set to music by Theodore Saul, was
sung by a large choir, accompanied by
the First Artillery Band.
Addresses were made by several minis
ters, and the benediction was pronounced
by Honsignor Quigley.
The exposition will be formally opened
tomorrow afternoon. The ceremonies at
the Ivory City, will be preceded by a
parade composed of marines, naval re-
serves, cadets, State volunteers and vari-
Gus civic societies. The city is handsome
ly decorated, and there were many ar
rivals at the hotels during the day
Chauncey NJ. Depew, who is to deliver
the dedication grafton, arrived in Charles
ton to-day. Governor McSweeney and
staff arrived tonight to participate in to-
morrow's exercises.

LACK OF HOSPITALITY
RESENTED BY SENATOR
Why the Yakima Indian Agent ar
Fort Simcoe Is to Lose His
Place,

TACOMA, Dec. IAN interesting story
is told on good authority in explanation
Of the recommendation by Senator Foster
of DR.. Hare, a North Yakima Re
publican, to succeed Jay Lynch as
agent of the Yakima Indians at Fort Sim
coe. Hares appointment is expected to
occur soon after Congress meets.
The undoing of Lynch is said to result
from his somewhat cool and inhos pit BILE
treatment of Senator Foster on the oc-
casion of the latters visit last summer
Senator Foster happened in one day to
look over the agency and investigate the
proposed opening of part of the Yakima
reservation. Agent Lynch did not seem
very much pleased to see him, but never
theless gave all required information
cheerfully. The agents house is small
one, not suited for the entertaining of i'm
portant personages: In consequence Sen
ator Foster was told after dinner that he
could not be very well taken care of and
would better spend the night at a hotel
near by. Senator Foster did so, and left
the next day without taking formal leave.
At the first opportunity he took occasion
to recommend the appointment of Hare
to succeed Lynch.

~ AKLAND, Dec. 1.-After brooding
"A for a week over the separation
III of herself and husband because
VI of a family tiff, Mrs. Sadie Camp
bell, the young wife of Daniel
Campbell, a cigar manufactures of this
city, drank six ounces of ammonia this
afternoon at her residence, 1853 Jefferson
street in an attempt to commit suicide.
That death did not result was due to the
energetic measures of DR.. McRae and
Steward Harry Borchert at the Receiving
Hospital, to which Mrs. Campbell was
taken shortly after she drank the fiery
fluid.
1t was the news that her husband had
departed for Australia after selling out
his interest in the Oakland Cooperative
Cigar Company, 467 Seventh street, to his
partner o. A. Smith, that led the despond-
ent wife to give up hope and to attempt
suicide. She had determined that she
would never again see the man whom she
had left in anger. and there was nothing
more for her in life.
1t was at the dinner table a week ago
that Mrs. Campbell and her spouse had
a tiff over what she said to-day was "only
a trif1ing family matter. Both were
angry, and the wife, in fit of hot-head-
edness, left the house, going to her
friends, the Newlands, in East Oakland.
"They told me not to return to my hus-
band but to make him come to me and
settle the quarrel" explained Mrs. Camp
bell. $50, instead of going to him, l wrote
a note, saying he must come back to me
before l would make up with him.
