ECONOMICAL REFORMS.
COST OF MAINTAINING THE PHIL
lPPlNE ARMY TO BE
REDUCED.
CUT DOWN PRESENT FORCE


Three Points and All Minor Posts
Abandoned-.Corbin and Chaffee
Confer on the Question.
Manila, July 23.-The conference
between Adjutant General Corbin and
General Chaffee, recently held here,
probably will result in radical eco
nomical and administrative reforms in
the army of occupation. 1t is esti-
mated the total cost of maintaining
the American army in the Philippine
Islands can be reduced by GO per cent
in the course of one year. The pTin-
cipal change will be the reduction of
the present force to between 10000
and 10000 men. The abolishment Of
the present army districts is contem-
plated and three brigades, with per
manent headquarters at Manila, Dagu-
pan and lloilo or Casu will be substi-
tuted in their stead. The troops will
be concentrated at three points select
ed, abandoning all minor posts These
changes will result in an enormous
saving in the transportation of sup
plies and the paying of rental for bar
racks for the soldiers. At present, in
most towns, the troops are quartered
In churches, converts and public and
private buildings, for the use of which
considerable rentals are paid. In the
majority of other cases, where the
troops do not occupy public buildings,
it is believed rental should be paid
for the soldiers quarters, if their oc-
cupancy is continued, since these re-
gions are pacifed and their inhabitants
have sworn allegiance to the United
States.
Build Barracks at Manila.
Generals Corbin and Chaffee have
decided upon the construction of bar
racks at the pumping station, about
six miles from Manila, to accommo-
date three regiments Ut infantry, one
of cavalry and eight batteries of artil-
lery, as we'll as general commissary
and quartermaster's stores, to cost
100000. The erection of this latter
building will reduce expenses $4,000
a month, being the rentals paid for
quartermaster and regimental stores
in Manila alone.
Generals Corbin and Chaffee have
also decided upon one single general
military hospital to replace the seven
military hospitals in Manila and vicin-
ity. The reduction of the great fleet
OF government launches and small
government steamers has already b
gun. Permanent barracks have been
erected at Dagupan to accommodate
all fhe troops necessary in Northern
Luzon. The insular constabulary is
now being organized. 1t will be main
tanned by the insular government and
is expected to be amply able to pre-
serve peace and enforce the law. This
constabulary will be, as a general rule,

JIM'S C.. 6. & M. M.

In memory of Charley McGovern
accidentally shot Dec. 26, 1900.
Oh, my son. my darling one:
TO thy last home departed,
| see thee, laid as if to rest.
Sweet sleep thine eyelids have caressed
And left thee still light-hearted.
But am not deceived, my child,
For oft I've seen thee sleeping;
Yet never thus, cold, rigid, still,
Too well | feel, with shivering thrill,
Death hath thee in his keeping.
For when | touch thy chilly hand,
Or smooth thy silken tresses;
No smile adorns those cheeks of thine,
Nor reach your little lips to mine
To answer my caresses.
Here lies thy outward form alone.
That must to earth be given;
But thy bright spirit scars above
To life, and Joy and light and love,
And share the bliss of heaven.
Farewell my little one, farewell.
Thy memory may not perish;
Thy merry prattle, childish wiles,
Thy winning ways and sunny smiles,
This aching heart shall cherish.
Submissive to the Christening rod,
Beside thy grave | stand;
Conslgn thy body to the sod,
And give the bach to dwell with God
In His own better land.

What We Eat

us, but it must he digested and as
simulated before it can do this. In
other words. the nourishment COD
tanned in food must be separated by
the digestive organs from the waste
materials and must becarried by the
blood to all parts of the body. We
believe the reason for the great bene-
fit which so many people derive from
Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the Tact
that this medicine gives good diges-
ton and makes pure, rich blood. II

BRANCH HOUSE HERE
National Biscuit Co. Makes
a Definite Decision.
WILL USE OWN PROPERTY
Not Known Who VIII be the
Resident Manager.

Within few days it VIII b definitely
decided Just when the National Biscuit
company viii open their branch house in
the old cracker factory building. It has
been decided by the Biscuit company
that they viii put in a branch house
here and now It IS TO be opened within
a short time. The factory building has
been evacuated by the former ten
ants and Is now empty ready for the
stock which IS TO be placed IN It This
movement on the part Of the National
Biscuit people has been contemplated for
some time and they have been in cores
pondenes with Wichita people regarding
the branch house.
A number Of years ago. they secured
the property in this city and rented it to
other concerns. A few weeks ago the
company gave notice to the tenants that
they wanted their property. hut did not
state for what purpose. 1t was surmised,
and 50 announced by. people in this city
that the Biscuit company intended TO put
in q branch house here but nothing def
mite was known about it until the past
few days. It VIII only take a short time
to put in the stock here, as it can be
shipped in very short time. The
branch house here would be the distribut-
ing point for Wichita territory which Is
not small. and the house would have the
same recognition as the Kansas City
house, the St Joseph house. or any Of
their other houses.
Just who viii be the manager Of the
Wichita house is not known AIr c. W.
Jackson is the travelling man for this
territory, and it has been stated that he
VIII have charge of the house. Mr.. Jack
son does not state whether he VIII take
charge Of the house. but does not deny
that he has been offered the position
The branch house Of the National Bis
cult company is another step toward
Wichita becoming the great wholesale
center, which is confidently looked for in
the next few years. The Biscuit company
have recognized the correct position Of
this city IN this territory and after hav-
ing that in view, they have decided to
place their house here

a search was rsde and some sixty OF
them were found in the basement Of the
church.
