the mystery Of the murder of Anton
Mitchell, more than 80 years ago, was
solved.
On the 10th Of January, 1870, Mitch

al thousand dollars. A man named
McKoy and his two sons We're arrest

created great excitement but they
were cleared and the crime had been
forgotten until Campbell on his death
bed admitted that he killed Mitchell

tion Of reclalming, plant. A contract
has, been entered into with the Catar-

induction motors, alternating current
having combined capacity of 1900
horse power The steam plant for use
in devulcanization, will consist Of boil
ers aggregating 200 horse power. The
machinery needed for the reclaiming
plant, also under order, will be of the
latest type, and special study has been
given to planning the most convenient
and economical installationof the same.
In addition to the advantages expected
from model equipment, and the saw
ing in cost of power as compared with
steam, an important saving in freight
charges Is assured, from the fact that
large part Of thH raw material used
Is gained from the West-Chicago be-
ing center of the trade In scrap rub

available, at low rates. 1t Is expected
that the Buffalo plant will be in oper-
alton by the beginning Of March. In

established about 1883, will be consol.

The Committee on Militia will play
conspicuous part in the work Of
Congress this session. Acting upon
the recommendation of the Secretary
Of War, measures will be introduced
which will bring closer together the
militia Of the several States and the
regular army.
The present provisions of the law
relating to the, militia and to the rails
ing Of volunteer forces are imperfect
and unsatisfactory. The militia law
stands today practically as 1t was
enacted in 1902, and is virtually OBJ
solete. In his report to the President
a few days ago, Secretary Root said
1T is very desirable that Congress
should now exercise the power con-
ferred upon II. by the Constitution to
provide for organizing and dsciplining
the militia.
"rhe organization and armement of
the guards Of the several States shoN'd
be made the same as those provided
for the regular army. The reliance
of the country for the large forces
necessary for modern warfare must
necessarily be chiefly upon volunteers.
I recommend that the War department
be authorized to arm the National
Guards with the present service small
arms used by the regular army; that
the National Guard be treated as a
first reserve to be called into the ser
vice Of the United States to execute
the laws Of the Union, suppress insur-
rection, and repel invaslons, and that
the President be authorized to detail
officers Of the regular army for in
struotton, staff and inspection duties
with the National Guards"

LONDON, October 26.--There is 10

better than the present impotency.
One of the striking signs of diseon-

the Cambridge Union has passed a
resolution to the effect that the gov

prolongation of the war, This aristo-
