neuN has been granted new trial by
the court of appeals
Molyneux was convicted of the mur-
der of Catharine j. Adams in New York

disclose the news to the prisoner until

allow General MolineuX or his wife, or
Mrs. r. b. MolineuX to inform the
prisoner of the change in the aspect Of
his case. To this the warden replied
that IL the members of his family or
any one of them sought an interview
with the young man they We're enti-
tied to it.
The elder Mrs. Moineux did not call
at the prison during the day as had
been anticipated.

BETTER DRILL WORK.
General Merriam Urges 1t in tho Depart
mont of tho Miaaouri.

mont of the Missouri.
Washington, Oct. 16.-In the capac-
ity of commander of the department. of
the Missouri General Henry c, Mer-
riam has made an annual report to the
war department. He devotes particu-
lar attention to the necessity of better
drill work by the soldiers. caused by
the income of many new troops. Cen
eral Merriam says there is notion too
often prevalent In the army, especially
among the older officers, that q soldier
who has once learned the details of the
drill regulations, the mechanism of tao
tical and calisthenic exercises, may be
excused from drill without detriment,
forgetting that bodies of men can re-
tain the power of collective action only
by frequent collective practice, even in
the simplest exercises.
General Merriam strongly indorses a
recommendation by Captain Niche of
the Twelfth cavalry for change in the
cavalry drill. He says that even with
the recent improvement which has
rendered the bit less severe upon the
mouths of young horses. there Is still
considerable percentage of horses
made victims by undue severity in the
use of the bit. He believes return to
the double rein Is fully justified for at
least half of each troop.
Other recommendations are that the
caliber of the cavalry revolver be en-
larged and that knapsack or pack be
supplied to the infantry soldier in place
of the blanket bag.
A significant statement by Chief Sur
jcon Callibo is that with compara-
lively few exceptions youths under 20
years of age are not able to bear up un-
der the hardships and privations of an
active campaign.
Surprising progress toward the goal
of self-support by the Apache prisoners
of war is recorded in an appendix by
Captain Sayre. in charge of those pris-
oners. He shows that they now have
on hand 2,7S4 head of cattle of their
own raising; that they have built many
miles of new fences and repaired as
much more of the old and that no cloth
ing was issued to them during the year.
On the other hand these Indians are
suffering severely from tuberculosis
and there We're thirteen more deaths
than births among them. They are de-
clared to be generally a moral. indus
trious. truthful, honest and docile peo-
ole.

Renson In Grove. Methoa.

ut Is not difficult 10 understand why
Pat Grove should want to remain in
hiding as long as the rewards are out
standing against him. He is afraid he
will be 'jobbed.' and the fear Is not with
out reason. Fifty thousand dollars is a
large sum of money and there are thou
sands of INSCRIPTIONS men in the coun-
try who would be tempted by 1t to per-
iure temselves In order to secure Groves
conviction. The messenger who came to
me from Grove n few days ago, as re-
ported on Saturday, said Grove wasn't
afraid Of me or of Shields, Power or any
of the rest of the city or county officers,
but he was afraid Of certain other men
Those fellows the messenger said,
couldn't make $4,000 easier than by get
ting on the stand and swearing to n lie.
II is more money than is usually paid for
perjured testimony So think the cheap
est. best and quickest way to close this
Incident Is to pull down the rewards as
Grove suggests. and have him come in tc
be nlaced on trial..
