Where is P. J. Conway, and who is the
man who died suddenly in the Pioneer
motel, in Second street S, Saturday
night at first supposed to be the we'll
known railroad contractor?
Late this afternoon the body of the un-
known man was borne away to the pot
ter's field, booked at the health depart
ment as P. J. Conway, notwithstanding
that the brother of Mr.. Conway and
many railroad men, many Of whom had
worked with him, maintained the body
was not his.
The mystery deepens and there is
suggestion of foul play in the fact re-
lated by one of the railroad men this
morning, that the dead man and Conway
were seeen together several days ago.
Nothing can be learnd Of the identity Of
the dead man and Conway is still miss
ing.
There was ample reason at first to be-
lieve that the dead man was Conway.
Both were of about the same stature and
complexion and both had dark hair. The
dead man, however, had lost three fingers,
two from the left hand and one from the
right. Conways brother and men who
worked on the same crew with the con-
ductor, say that he had met with no such
accident.
The clothes worn by the dead man, a
pocket book and a clearance paper from
the superintendent OF the Milwaukee road,
found in the pockets, were undoubtedly
those of Conway. The question is, how
did they come into his possession?
The unknown man went into the Pioneer
hotel, No. Second avenue S, Saturday,
and was assigned to room. He ordered
liquor and was served, Later he was
found dead on the bed, as though he had
passed away while sleeping. A post NOR
tenn examination held by the coroner. dis
closed the fact that death had resulted
from alcoholism. When the paper and
pocket book containing Conway's name
were found the brother was called.
At first he believed the body to be that
of his brother. He was not certain as
to his personal appearance at this time
for he had not seen him for several
months. He was positive, however, that
the coat was his brothers., and the clear
ance card from the railroad was dated
about the time when Conway had left
the Milwaukee company's employ. The
absence of the fingers from the hands,

Scope of Military Schools.

washington, July 8.-The tour of in
spect1on which Secretary Root expects to
make early next week for examination OF
the military posts, Forts Leavenworth and
Riley and Jefferson Barracks is in fur
therance of one of his mosI notable plans
for the betterment of the American army
system. Forts Leavenworth and Riley
are within few miles of the junction
OF twenty railways, including all the great
lines OF communication of the continent,
and 1t is intended that they shall here
after be improved and constituted the
chief rendezvous of troops, while at JEFF
ferson- Barracks, near by, there will be-
established the principal military supply
depot Of the United States.
AT Forts Riley and Leayenworth. re-
spectively are the United States cavalry
and infantry schools for the army and 1t is
now proposed to materially extend their
scope by assigning to them d greater num-
Der Of officers for instruction and a much
larger force Of men for practical cam
paigning.
They are to be made practical post
graduate colleges for West Pointers, and
their prize graduates will be promoted to
course at the army war college tor be
established at Governors Island NetuIy
million dollars will be spent for n ew
quarters and improvements at these po.Sts
in the current fiscal year, and in anoth sr
year from now it is the intention to make .
a start in carrying out cooperative man.
euvers Of large bodies of troops, COM
posed Of regulars and national guards
men. BY next winter it will be feasible, 1t
is hoped, to quarter at least regiment at
each of these posts, and few months
later a brigade or perhaps division can
be mobilized for several months drill
and evolutions under campaigning condi-
tions. By another year militia may be
called from various states and extended
field evolutions by an army corps may
contribute to the higher education of gem
eraI officers, subordinates and enlisted
men. Secretary Root heartily supports
the plans.

Independence, Thomas w. Lawson's
much vaunted yacht, is now altogether out
of the running with the peerless Consti-
tuition. The New York Yacht clubs sail
ing triumph handed the Boston boat an
overwhelming defeat Saturday, and was
so far ahead of the interloper that the
latter was still invisible when the Con-
stitution swept past the finish line, vic
tor over the Columbia by a mile and
half. At the turning buoy Constitution
was two minutes in advance Of Columbia,
with the independence hull down to lee
ward. 1t was on the home run that the
new Herreschoff boat showed her great
est strength. She beat the Columbia over
eight minutes in the fifteen miles down
the wind. There was seven miles between
the winner and Independence at the fin
ish At no time during the race to wind
ward did Mr. Lawson's yacht show any
weatherly qualities. She did not point
as high as her opponents. Not for mo-
ment did she demonstrate that she pcs
sessed a fraction Of that speed which she
seemed to have shown when sailing by
herself. That she may be vastly i'm
proved is admitted, but she has certainly
profoundly disappointed her friends.

himself he addressed the barber in
the following words:

self to your professional care, l de-
sire to call your attention to few
facts of considerable interest. l am
fully aware that l am victim to

Ough, have come here with the fixed
determination not to buy bottle OF

and it will therefore be useless to con
tinue the subject.
II realize that my hair is rapily
becoming thin. 1t has been falling out
in handfuls for Is years, and there's
just as much as there ever was. And
yet l am foolishly prepared to reject
any proposition having regard to the
purchase of barrel of your far-famed
hair restOrer.
II know that my mustache is thir
and faded, and yet nothing can over
come superstitious prejudice l have
| against investing in a box of youl

The Chicago Inter-Ocean does not
want Senator Cullom to be chairman
of the senate committee of foreign re-
lations. Why this opposition on the
part of the stalwart republican organ
OF the windy city to ambitions Of the
senior senator of Illinois? The alleg-
ed reason is incompetence. But the
Inter- Ocean is not honest in it's reason,
though honest in its opposition. The
reason behind this anti Cullom TRADE
is to be found in the fact that Shelby
M. Cullom is believer in the reel
procity theory. He believes that to
preserve our commercial advantage
and to prevent combination against
us the reciprocity treaties must be
ratified. AS chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, Mr.. Cullom
would push these treaties, to the dis
comfort of the trusts and the protect
ed grafter.-Globe.

THIS CAUSES REVOLUTION.


In the American Agriculturist an in
dividual named William l. Phillips
prints an article entitled How Man
age My Truck Farm" His truck farm
is in Chautauqua county, New York.
This person, who seems quite proud
of his way of exploiting human beings,
tells that he succeeded in getting
small colony of Italians.
We quote his own words: mot only
are the parents employed, but children
five years and over work from early
morn until night. In this way the
larger the family the greater the in
come. Mothers in the field with child.
rem only few months old"
The father, it seems gets all the
money earned by the wife and by the
little children who are kept working
all day.
When paid by the hour, 1.-THE men
receive 9 cents, the women cents,
the boys and girls according to their
age"
There ought to be some kind of a
law to close up this gentlemans truck
farm with all possible speed. If truck
farming could only be carried on on
the basis of employing children five
years old to work from early morn
ing until night" truck farming should
De made more expensive and the pro-
ducts more extensive.
A man who works women and child
rem all through the day, sending
mothers into the field with children
only few months old, is. the lineal
and moral descendant of those men
who cause revolutions in olden times.
It is perhaps worth while in connec-
ton with this truck farming to ask
yourself how much civilization owes
to the efforts of trades unions and 9th.
er organizations of labor.
This truck farmer can work little
children all day and make mothers
labor in the fields with babies in their
arms, because there are no trades
unions in farm work
Does anybody doubt that human
4. avarice would establish similar con
ditions in all trades were it not fol
the ceaseless fighting of trades unions
to enforce wage scales that make il
possible for the children to stay al
home, and for the mother to take care
of her children indoors?
There are many dignitaries Of
church and state and philosophy hem
ming and having about labor condi
; tons, etc., and all of them put togeth
er do less for the real improvement
of the human race than the stubborn
trades unions, who fight to keep wages
up and to prevent men from sinking t.
the level of oxen and mules, working
all day for as much as will keep then
alive next morning.-New York Jour
