ment and Better Discipline.

Washington, Nov. 1o.-The annual
report of Maj. Gen. H. c. Corbin, adj
jutant general of the army, deals with
every feature of the army, and begins
with statement showing the army is
to be reduced by December 1 to 60,020
men, of which 2,s77 belong to the staff
departments.

The report shows that during the
fiscal year there were IS officers killed
in action, or died of wounds
and disease, 81 resigned and
6s retired. of the enlisted men,
1927 were killed or died of
wounds and disease, 35,so6 were dis
charged on the expiration of service,
5,49S were discharged for disability
or dismissed by order of court-martial,
4,667 deserted, were missing and
203 retired.
Army Maneuvers.
In reviewing the reports of officers
who participated in the army and navy
maneuvers last September, Gen. Cor
bin says that much valuable informa-
ton was acquired. He strongly rec
ommends that similar exercises be
conducted annually, and made to en-
brace each year a new theater of oper-
ations, so that the benefit may be
shared by the different garrisons in
the several fields of defense.
Gen. Corbin recommends legislation
providing that Maj. Gems. Merritt,
! Brooks and Otis, now on the retired
! list, be given the rank of lieutenant
| general, and that Coils. Gilmore and
/ Williston be given the rank of briga-
dier generals on the retired list.
Favors the Canteen.
Gen. Corbin has the following to say
| regarding the canteen. 1.-THE restora-
ton of the exchange as it existed pricF

2, 1901, prohibiting the sale of beer is
desired and urged by the great major

Men Should Learn Songs.
In conclusion he says: 1.-The instruc.
ton of our men in vocal music would

Bradstreet's says: "Jobbing trade
has continued active, at most mar
Eets exceeding last year. Spring
sales are of good volume, indicating
confidence, and enormous shipments
of all classes of merchandise have
congested the railroads, already fully
occupied in trying to move supplies
of fuel to consumers and grain crops
to market. Warm weather early in
the week retarded retail trade and
slightly affected some collections,
but colder weather west later on
stimulated demand for heavy goods
and gives promise of lettering final
distribution materially. The mild,
open fall season has, however, been
valuable to the farmer, enabling COM
plete farming preparations and insur-
ing satisfactory beginning to the
wheat crop, besides allowing the late
cotton to mature and facilitating out
door work, such as building, to pro-
gress rapidly. Good collections are
the rule, few exceptions to this be-
ing noted, and these only where rapid
marketing of grain has been inter-
ferred with or retail demand for
heavy goods has been held in abey-
ance. Failures are fewer than last
year and the liabilities for October
were less than in all but one of the
past ten years. Prices show great
steadiness, those increasing or re-
naming unchanged far out-number-
ing those declining.

acs.What Estimates Gull For.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The annual
gross cpst of complete rural free
delivery service throughout the
United, States will approximate s24,-
o00, 600. according to the annual re-
port First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral WSnhe has received from August
W. Machen, the general superin-
tendent, of the service. The remain
ing 100000 square miles not now COW
cred by rural free delivery service &C.
cording'to the report will require the
employment of 10000 or $4,000 car
1iers in addition to those now en-
ployed, making the entire force of
carriers when the extension of the
service is completed within the next
three years, 10000.
Thousands of Petitions.
During the year 1902 12,403 petit
lions for the service were filed, making
a total on July i, last, of 22,646, which
exceeded by over 1000 the total num-
Der during the preceding four years.
Since July petitions received have av-
eraged over 600 month. With the
amount required for routes to begin
December /, the entire appropriation
has been absorbed, leaving on Deem
Der i, fully 1,7o0 routes for which there
Is no appropriation available. This
number probably will be increased by
January to at least $500. Mr.. Wynne
and Mp. Machen say that to comply
with the demands of the people and of
members of congress the department
will require an additional appropria-
ton, otherwise further esta blishment
of service will be deferred until July /
next. If the additional funds are
granted $4,000 rural free delivery let
ter carriers will be in active service by
May /.
The estimates call for ten division
superintendent, an increase of three
In number. On July /, last, the city
free delivery service embraced 933
cities, including four in the insular
possessions, and the total number
Of uniformed letter carriers in the
city service was 1875, as against 49,
$3.50 the previous year. 1t is estimated
that the free delivery will be extended
to " Offices during the current year
It is also estimated that the expendi.
fure will aggregate $21, 32s,300 for the
maintenance and extension of city de-
livery service during the fiscal year
beginning July j, 1908, including $s12,.
600 Tor special delivery service, which
branch has been added to the free de-

SUICIDE
WAS ATTEMPTED BY Mr.. SIDNEY
PARKER.
He Jumped Into Chisholm Creek Be-
cause He Was Despondent.

Sidney Parker. living at the corner of
Hunter and Ellis avenues, made two IN
successful attempts at suicide by jump
ing into Chisholm Creek late Monday
afternoon. Mr. Parker has for a long
time been a driver for the Western Plan
ing Mil company. but a short time ago
he was stricken with infiammatory rheu-
matism. He has been sick for so long
and has been unable to earn anything
for his family that it is thought this
proved on his mind until he determined
to end his life and misery.
The creek runs very close to his house
and late in the afternoon he jumped into
the stream. which was considerably swol-
len by the recent rains. Workmen on a
house nearby saw the act and two of the
men went after him and brought him to
shore Soon after this he started TO walk
down the creek and acted as # he was
sorry for his rash act, but it was thought
best to watch him. The men followed a
considerable distance behind and kept
out of sight. When about two blocks
below the house Mr.. Parker ran to the
edge Of the bank and threw himself into
the stream a second time.
The men watching him saw this and
they rushed to the stream, but could not
find the man for some time. but finally
located him considerable distance
down the stream from whore he jumped
into the stream He was rescued. but
il looked as If il was too late to save
his life but the men and the other neigh
bors worked hard for a short time before

John RockefeIlers in America"
The John Cudahy packing company in
this city are not troubling themselves
about the great combination Of packing
interests which is causing so much talk
in other sections. The above was the
answer Of vice-President Harrison, Of
the Cudahy company yesterday when
reporter for the -Eagle asked him what
the effect of the much-talked-of com
bination would be on the packing inter
ests OF this city.
He had been talking about the report
that Armours. Swift. Nelson Morris. Geo.
H Hammond and Swartzschild < Suiz-
berger We're al going into one great or
gauization and that the Standard Oil
people were going to furnish the extra
money to float the big scheme. These are
all the biggest packers in the world and
Il was very natural TO ask what will be-
come of Wichita If such a powerful com
bination is formed and made one com
pany.
Superintendent Brown, of the Cudahy
company. said that he did not believe
that any such merging Of such big plans
into one concern would ever be accom-
pIished and if il came about the thing
would be SO big that il would break down
OF its own weight.
You viii remember" said Mr. Brown
''that in 1899 there was a great combina-
zion of capitalists in England who
brought millions here to control the pack
ing interests of this country, They and
the people of this country. many of them

ton Of capital would run the country.

John Cudahy sold out to them and
then went to work and built another
packing house. People supposed that
when an these packers sold out that they

they We're getting a big price. The big

In case the government makes an ar
rangement with the street car company
TO carry the mail carriers, it has offered
TO have the letter boxes attached to all
its cars without charge This would be
very convenient for a good many people,
but it would not obviate the necessity Of
the stations which The post Office depart
ment intends to establish in his city be-
cause while people could send their let
tiers to the Office in the street car boxes
they could not get mail from the Office
by this means.
