WAR SCHOOLS FOR WEST.
Secretary Root Selects Sites for Places OF
Military Instruction.

Washington, July 24.-Secretary of
War Root has just returned to the
war department after tour of in
spection in the west, and is of the
opinion that one of the four school.
of soldiers, contemplated by con-
gress, ought to be in the east. One
Of the schools for applied military
science will probably be at Fort
Leavenworth, another at Fort Riley
and third at Fort Sheridan.
What is needed in the opinion of
the war department is plenty of
ground for maneuvers. At some of
the places the secretary has in mind
the government has areas of 1900 or
5000 acres.
Secretary Root said that the adj
vance in military science tended to
individual action rather than the old
fashion of fighting in masses and col
umns. The contrast of the new
school as against the old school, he
said, was precisely that of Washing
ton and Braddocl1.

W. III. Hanson of Luanna, CIaytonS
county, has written to the manage
ment of the state fair asking to be al
lowed to exhibit herd of buffalo on
the grounds. Mr.. Hanson is said to-
have the only herd of buffalo in the
state. Inasmuch as these anIma;s are
becoming rare, it is not improba bic:
the fair management will give Mr.
, Hanson permission to display the
herd here. 1t is understood the herd
consists of eleven fine animals. There
is some question whether they shalt
be exhibited free of charge or kept in
an inclosure and an admission fee
charged. If this question can be set
tied, there is a strong probability this
unique exhibit will be secured.

The Term Yankee.

There are many different stories as
TO the origin of the term Yankee. That
which is most generally accepted. how
ever. is that it came from the Indian
attempt to pronounce the word English
or the French equivalent. AnSlais.
This explanation would put the origin
of the word Yankee ut date in the
early English settlement CT the Allan
tic coast OF this country. Another the
DRY is that 1t was cant word in cast
ern Massachusetts nearly 200 years
ago which meant very fine, as Yam
kee good cow" n Yankee good gun,
etc. The designation is usually APP
oiled to residents OF New England.

APropos of Mr.. Carnegie's desire TO
do good with his wealth, the New
York Press has asked a number of
persons what they would do if they
possessed Carnegie's millions. Among
those who replied was Gov. Gambler,
of Georgia His suggestion is wor-

hospitals and infirmaries and or.
phans' homes for destitute orphans
than they have in the past.
The numbers of the poor and of
orphans in almost every section OF
our country. and especially in thu
older states. are constantly growing
larger and larger. and many are to-
day suffering for the want of insti-
tutiOns such as | have named. which
could with more benefit have been
founded with "A part of the money
which has been applied to the endow-
ment of schools for higher educa-
ton
All of which leads the Rockford
Star 10 remark:
Libraries are good things but they
are not so near mankind as hospi-
tails. infirmaries and orphans homes.
Perhaps Rockford people regret that
Mr.. Carnegie instead of giving $780,
600 for a library building did not
give it for Il hospital. The library
gift has caused dissension and pOliti-
cal trades. Had Mr.. Carnegie called
for site upon which he would erect
a hospital there would have been no
unseemly struggle and the poll
ticians could not have forced them
selves into the controversy.
However. Mr.. Carnegie is helping
mankind in his own way and is not
responsible for the selfish spirit that
follows some of his benefactions."

RICHARD YATES.
Governor of Illinois


The information furnished Gov.
Yates states that i'm September of
this year the annual death rate of
children in camps maintained by
England i'm South africa was 433 per
1000. Following was the annual
death rate for the summer months:
June. 1901. 100: July, 1901. 200; -Au-
gust. 1901. 30; September. 1901. 2G4.
Tbs. governor does not discuss the
question of Great Britain's right to
wage an unholy war against two
Christian republics. He simply finds
after investigation that nOn-com-
batants are starving and az hu-
manitarian he appeals for aid. Sim
liar action was taken by President
Mckinley i'm the interest of starving
Cubans before the war with Spain.
The conditions i'm the reconcentrndo
camps i'm South Africa are horrible.
the death rate exceeding midas dur
ing the famine. Unless remedies are
applied the women and children in
these camps will ne annihilated. The
war * one of determination. The
Beers are fighting for their homes
and their liberty. They have been
proclaimed as outlaws with the glib
bet staring them in the face if they
persist in demanding the freedom
which a brutal and selfish monarchy
seeks to rob them of.
If free America will not help the
Beers to regain their independence
even by an expression of sympathy,
she can at least succor the finnish
ing. Ii is hoped the people will give
literally.
