so regular and even are these lodges
that IL is difficult to realize that they
are not artificial.
Ten miles farther along the line is
the famous shrine of ste. Anne de
Beaupre. founded in 1920 by Bretoe
emigrants as a kind OF sister shrine to
the famous Ste. d'Auray in Brittany.
This Canadian Loretto is visited by
enormous numbers of pilgrims from
all parts of the province especially on
Ste. Annes day (July 26). The church
(Which was formally created Ba-
silica by the present pope) is modern,
only dating from 1876. but It contains
many curious relics removed from the
original church, built in 1868.

Recalls Last Phase of Waterloo.
When morning dawned. Montcalm,
who had ridden hurriedly from Quebec,
found himself confronted by the thin
red line of Wolfe's little army OF 1000
men drawn up in battle array. The
actual battle-the shortest on record
In modern times-lasted barely fifteen
minutes, and might be told, aptly re-
marks the author of Deeds That Won
the Empire" in as many minutes. The
plan of the battle curiously recalls the
last phase of Waterloo. The French
advanced Unchecked till within forty
PAGES OF the English lines, when they
were thrown into confusion by a we'll
timed volley from the whole line. Then
Wolfe ordered a general advance. and
the British charged with the widest
enthusiasm. with Wolfe himself at the
head of his grenadiers. Wounded

FINDINGS in Rooz CASE.
Military Court of Inquiry Does Not
Find Charges Sustained.

'''N $3.50 SSS SNSs0''tSSz'
Washington, April 4.-The findings
of the military court of inquiry which
investigated the treatment alleged to
have been accorded to the late Oscar
l.. Booz, former cadet at West Point
Military academy, have been made
public at the war department.
The findings of the military court
are summed up in letter written by
Secretary Root, which accompanies
the report. This letter says:
THE findings of this court of in
quiry, which are sustained ny the evil
dence, show that the Statements which
led to the converting of the court to
the effect that former Cadet Oscar l..
Booz came TO his death by reason of
injuries received by hazing at the
academy, were not true. They show
that at the time Cadet Booz was a
member of the academy hazing was
not prevalent there to deplorable ex-
tent; that the officers of the academy
have shown commendable energy, zeal
and efficiency in detecting and punish
ing offenses of this character, and that
they greatly decreased the practice
and improved the public sentiment
among the cadets upon the subject.
The testimony and findings of the
court were placed in the hands of the
committee of congress charged at
about the same time with the investi-
CATION of the subject, and the very eff
ficient and beneficial action of that
committee, followed by the legislation
upon the subject contained in the act
of March 2, 1901, renders further &C
ton by the department unnecessary.

Is HIGHLY HONORED
Maj. olmstead to be Commandant
Of Sons of Veterans University.
HE is NOW INSPECTOR IN THE GUARD
Has Been Assured His New Position
by Congressman HuII-it is Mill
tary Appointment, and Carries with
it the Pay of Major.

1t is semi-officially announced that
Major j. A. Olmstead, U. S. A, retired,
vii be the military commandant at the
Mason City Sons of Veterans universi-
ty, that is now under course of con-
struction. This position carries with
it the pay of a major in active service
and is very desirable position. The
many friends of Major Olmstead will
be pleased to know of his appoint
ment. This position is filled by the
war department from among either
the retired list of the army or some
one in active duty. Major Olmstead's
home is in Des Moines, and he has
many friends who have urged him for
1.-THE place. 1t is not disputed that he
! is entirely competent for the position
and will make valuable man. Con-
gresham J. A. T. Hull, chairman of
the military affairs committee of the
house upon whose recommendation
the appointment will be made has CIV
en- Major Olmstead his personal as
surance that he can have the position
if he wants it, and as Major Olmstead
has indicated that he does
want it, there can hardly be
any doubt but that he will
be the fortunate man. At present Ma
jor Olmstead is the inspector general
of the Iowa National Guard, and as
such he has fittingly demonstrated his
abilities as an inspector and an officer.
He is a graduate of West Point and
has served his active period of SER
! vice in the United States army, hav-
ing been retired about two years ago
on account of the age limit. On the
reorganization of the guard he was
made inspector general and as such
/ has served for two years. Major Ohm
/ stead is well known in Ottumwa, he
having inspected Company &c" the
last two years and was here last year
at the encampment, remaining in the
i city for several days. 1t is under.
stood that when he gets his new posi-
/ ton, he will retain his posi-
ton in the guard, unless it
is that his new duties will occu-
Ply too much of his time, and that he
will be unable to give the guard the
attention it demands. He will prob
ably remove to Mason City and will
make his headquarters in that city.
