AN ARMY OF SCOUTS.
Major Burnham's Ideas of the Fight
ing Forces of the Future.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
Major Burnham, the scout who guild
ed General French's cavalry division
to Pretoria, man of wide experience
in various parts of the world. in an in
terview published in London, says:
Il am convinced that the modern
gun brings us back to first principles
in warfare and puts premium on in
dividuality. The day when men are
moved in battle like machines seems
to have gone by. and instead of pro-
ducing machines any more we have
got to train the individual soldier. One
thousand men trained to think for
themselves and to shoot straight can
whip ten thousand trained in the old
fashioned way. 1t is the greatest mis-
take to think that victory depends on
numbers. This new individuality and
mobility will bring back the scout, who
had almost died out Many good scouts
are being produced bN the war with
the beers, and some excellent scout
ing is being done by the American
army in the Philippines. 1t seems to
me that the ideal training for the sol
der in the future will be that which
makes every man more or less of a
scout, taught to use common sense
and all five of his other senses, and.
above all. to become a good rife shot:
for. with all due respect to the artil-
lery. it is the man with the rifle who
counts in battle. 1t is surely mistake
to give man three years drili and |
only three months at the rife butts. !
and then call him a soldier. when he
could meet modern conditions much /
better with three years of the rifle and
three months drill

and salt for fear somebody will take
a pinch.
He asked as a favor of those who
refused TO sign the pledge. to promise
him not to ask their friends to join
them in drinking. He told over again
| the story of what a man sows that
shall he also reap. He wanted men
if they must drink, to be decent in
their drinking. He is not afraid, il
he cannot keep men out of the bar
/ room. to go in to midst of the revell-
ers and preach bar room ethics. He
thinks the meanest man that haunts a
an already drunken man to drink
more.
II you are bound to do something
idiotic, do not make your reeling neigh
Dor drink more but let him go home
Say by yourself and fill yourself up 10
your neckties. This accords with Muir

They are nowhere beside the rich
boquet that floats from the sparkling
cup. There is no use in our saving

tive. See the mahogany table. the fine
cut glass. the delicate frail tumbler
into which the decanter is tipped.

ing come and drink and we will fix
YOU Don't tell us there are no at
fractions in drink"
He told again the story of his own
life and said that the only way to get
out OF bad habit was to confess 20
the world ones Intentions and pray
on the subject for year or two.
When the call for pledge signers
was once more made. the response
was prompt and numerous. The num-
ger signing last night was in the neigh
borhood OF seventy-five.
Today Mr.. Murphy's meeting at the
Honolulu Iron Works will be watched

COMMITS SUICIDE.
w. Il. Thomas of Leighton Takes
His Own Life.

Leighton, Nov. 26.-This commune
ity was very much shocked last Sum
day when the news was circulated
that w. H. Thomas had shot himself
with shot gun that morning at
about o'clock. He was a bachelor
and lived with his widowed sister-in-
law and her family. He had a severe
attact ofthe grippe last winter and it
settled on his lungs and his health
had been falling ever since, and had
gone in the last stage of consumption.
1t is supposed that he could not bear
the idea of suffering probably for
some months yet and concluded to
end his life in that way. The family
and himself had retired as usual that
evening, they not suspecting any
thing of the kind was going to take
place. At near O'Clock Bert Thomas
who sleeps up stairs heard the.report
of the gun, and went down stairs in
his room to see what was going on.
He told Bert that there was dog
scratching at the door and he shot at
him out of the window to scare him
away. But the fact proved to be that
he had missed his aim and the charge
of shot had gone through the wall
near the ceiling. Bert not yet sus-
pecting anything went back to bed
and in few minutes he heard
another shot and ran down again. He
found his uncle laying on the floor
with the back part of his head blown
off and brains and blood over the
ceiling and wall. Death must have
been instantaneous.
The gun had a cord tied to one OF
the triggers with loop on it, and it
is supposed that he set the butt of
the gun on the floor and leaned over
and placed the muzzle against his
eyebrow and pulled the trigger with
his toe.
He leaves his mother, nearly 81
years old, and two brothers to mourn
his sad departure. The burial will
take place today Tuesday, at one
O'Clock at the Black Oak cemetery.
He settled in this township with his
parents nearly fifty years ago, and
this has been his home ever since,
He went out with the 33rd Iowa In
fantry, and remained with it until the
regiment was mustered out. He had
many friends who sympathise very
much with his mother and brothers
in the sad bereavement. He was
about so years old.
Other Leighton items.
The weather is still very nice, but a
big rain is very much needed.
E. II. Voorhees, and wife who were
visiting here returned to their
Garnett Kansas home last Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Cornelius Dykstra is still fall
ing in health. He went to Keokuk
yesterday to consult with DR.. Ruth.
His brother John, of Pella, and DR..
Payne went with him.
Aunt Mary Miller is very feeble.
She fell about two weeks ago and
bruised her hip some and Jared her
considerable and is now confined to
her bed and is in almost helpless con-
dition.

THE STONE RANSOM.
Negotiations with the Brigands at
a Deadlock.

Sofia, Nov. 23.-Mr. Dickinson, the
diplomatic agent here of the United
States, started Friday for Constanti-
nople, there to confer with Spencer
Eddy, the secretary of the United
States legation, as to the best means
of fastening a solution in the dead
lock which has arisen in the negotia-
tions over the release of Miss Stone.
Mr.. Dickinson will probably return
here, bringing with him cash with
which to pay Miss Stones ransom, as
her kdnapers insist this payment be
made in Turkish gold.
May Present UItimatum.
Mr.. Dickinson is considering the
advisa bility of presenting an ulti-
matum to the brigands, in which he
will fix ten days as the period within
which 10000 must be accepted by
the brigands as Miss Stones ran
som. If this proposal is not accept
ed by her captOrs all dealing with
the bandits, so far as the United
States is concerned, will cease. If
these conditions have not already
been dictated by Mr.. Dickinson the
ultimatum comprising them will al
most certainly be delivered as soon
as the American diplomatic agent re-
turns from Constantinople.
Captives in Good Health.
According to the latest informa-
ton received here both Miss Stone
and Nine. Tsilka continue in rather
good health. According to the state
meut of a person who arrived from
Dubnitza the captives have been re-
moved from a village near Dubnitza
to a point near the froRtier, and Miss
Stone got wet while crossing the
river Struma.
Little Knowledge in Washington.
Washington, Nov. 23.-The reason
for Consul General Dickinson's depar-
ture from Sofia for Constantinople,
as reported in the press dispatches
Friday morning, is not known at the
state department. That he intended
to leave Sofia was kno .gn and it Is
assumed he has found that his i'm
mediate presence in Bulgaria, where
he is hampered in his attempt at
communication with Miss Stone by
the BULGARIAN officials, is harmful to
her cas-. The movement does not
mean that the state department has
decided to abate its efforts toward
securing Miss Stones release and the
fact is that those efforts will be con-
tinued in another and more promis-
ing direction.
