Springfield. July 21.-Orders were
given police officers last night to ar
rest all soldiers who refused to re-
turn to camp. The order was the re-
suit of numerous reports that large
number of enlisted men who were in
the city from the camp were creating
disturbances on the streets.
Private NJ Mckinley, of the 3rd in
fantry, was arrested for parading
about the city early yesterday morn

disrobed, thinking he was at camp.
Three hours after his arrest his
trousers were found and in the peck

field Proves a Tedious
One.

Camp Lincoln, July 2O.-The 9th
regiment arrived in camp at O'Clock
Saturday morning and found that the
Bird regiment had preceded it. The
trip from Galcsburg to Springfield
was rather tedious, as several long
stops had TO be made because of the
poor. condition of tracks caused by
the very heavy rains. The morning
was spent in moving the baggage in
to camp and getting settled into
quarters.
The camp was inspected by the en-
tire medical force of the 9th regi-
ment to see that the proper sanitary
rules and regulations were being en-
forced. \ new idea in the medical
department will be put into practice
at this encampment. Instead of let
ting the boys call for whatever doe
tor they want when they report at
the hospital. medical officer of the
day will be on duty each day, and he
will take care of all the emergency
cases. The other members of the
corps will only have to be present at
sick call, and are available for other
duty as sanitary officers, inspectors
and instructors. This is the method
followed in the regular army. DR..
Whiteside has taken charge of the
hospital as the first medical officer
of the day. The doctor is veteran
of the Cuban and Porto Rican eXpedi-
tions. DIR. Farrell, formerly of the
regular army and medical officer of
the first expedition sent to the Phil
ippines. is also one of the surgeons
of the 9th.

Indians Must Work.

The whole country is deeply interested
in a recent order Of the government re-
lating to the Indians on the Rosebud res
crvation in South Dakota Over 1000
able bodied male Indians there, who have
passed the age Of Is years, have had
their rations cut off in order to test the
capacity Of the redskins to earn a living
for themselves, and it is now a case Of
work or starve, a situation which many
people insist should have been reached
long ago. The order is following up the
suggestions Of President Roosevelt, the
commissioner Of Indian affairs, many
members of the House and Senate, and
scores Of other prominents who have
given the matter their close attention and
study. 1t is believed that the Indians
can be taught to become self-supportiag
and thus advance more speedily toward
civilization than when they are encour-
aged to live in idleness by the govern
ment furnishing them rations.
In deciding upon whom the experiment
should first be tried it was determined to
take the Brule Sioux on the Rosebud res
crvation, as they are the fercest and
most unruly Of all, and if the experiment
works all right with them, it will surely
be satisfactory with the other tribes. II
the Brule Sioux accept the new policy
without going on the warpath, it will
then be tried on the 1900 Indians at the
Pine Ridge agency. and upon other tribes

ecy that "the price of victory would stag:

times during the two years and seven
months Of strife. All the world knew
that the Beers would fight, but such a

History has few instances Of such resist

legions at bay for years, but they were

repeated the acts of both, and have done
so time and again. Stormberg, Mayors

One Cent Letter POSTAGE.

There are many who assume that be-
cause the successive reductions in the
rate Of letter postage in past years have
all been followed by a vast increase in
the quantity of letters sent through the
mails a repetition of the experiment
would certainly be followed by SINH
lar result. But they overlook the fact
that the principal part Of the increase
was not due to an expansion Of the let
ter writing habit, but to the stimulus
which the reduction gave to the practice
Of business men sending out price lists
and other printed matter in unsealed en-
velopes. The statistics Of the Postoitice
Department do not distinguish this sort
IF mail from the closed. No one can tell
what proportion it forms Of frst-class
matter, but that it is very large IS well
known. That it was immensely increas-
ed when the law made it possible to send
an unsealed letter or circular for one
cent is also a matter of general knowl-
edge, but it is not so well understood
that it was this particular reduction
which so greatly enlarged the volume IF
6rst-class matter.
If a reduction is made to one cent for
sealed letters, and there is no further
lowering Of the rate Of unsealed first
class matter, there will be no very great
expansion of the use of the mails in con-
sequence of the change. 1t is reasonably
certain that the movem ent, if success
full, would result in serious diminution
of the revenue, and the deficit would be
still further increased Doubtless. IN
course Of time, the volume of mail at
one cent for a closed letter will bring
the receipts up to their present proper
tons, but the general growth of bust
ness, rather than the inducement held
out by the cheaper rate, would contrib
ute to that result. Francisco Chron-

Abuse of the Injunction.

A judge issues an injunction forbid
ding you to do such and such thing.
You may have a perfect right under the
constitution of the United States TO do
that which he forbids. His injunction
may be unjust and illegal, but neither
this illegality nor the authority Of the
constitution will save you if you disobey
the injunction. The judge himself, the
offended one, has then absolute power to
punish you. He can fine you or put you
in Jail at his pleasure. You have 10
possible appeal. In any ordinary trans
action the citizen who is supposed to have
committed an offense is entitled to trial
by jury and to appeal his case. But if
you offend an injunction judge, he him
self is the jury, he is the judge, he fixes
the penalty. This is law, but it is stupid
law, worthy Of a Turkish pasta, not of
civilized country. No man in the Unit
ed States should have power to punish
another for a crime committed against
himself. The judge who sentences a
man to jail on his own authority because
his judicial dignity is offended practically
applies lynch law, and if lynch law is
abominable, the bench should be the first
to abolish it.-New York Journal.

she always has a male accomplish ex-
pecting to share in the gains Of guilt.
Such murders are always atrocious, with
surrounding circumstances Of peculiar
wickedness in the inception and the com
mission Of the crime. These facts, if
they appear in any case, have tendency
to divest the mind Of sensibllitles regard
ing women which are inspired by their
innocence and worth in the general rela-
tons of life.
In recent years women have been ex-
ecuted for capital crimes both in this
country and in England. There have
been several such cases within the last
two decades. An enemy to society, a
dangerous conspirator against human
life, slow, crafty, merciless, secret, I'M
appeasable criminal in malignant homi-

there for grading penalties according to
sex instead Of according to the degree

DRAMATIC DEATH OF GRIZZLY.

The Gray Terror of the Idaho Hills
Will Do Mischief No More.
Big Foot, the gray terror of the Ida
no hills, is dead at last. The giant
grizzly closed his career with an orgy
that included the killing of about thir-
ty horses in one week. and the ranch
crs throughout the wide region where
lie operated are rejoicing that he will
not rob them any more.
When Tom Hopper, the veteran
hunter Of Spokane, arrived in Lewiston
with a party Of amateurs, including
u. &. Holbrool. South Dakota drum
mer, and announced that they were
going after Big Foot the natives, on
Toms account 'reckoned there'd be

Foot was about forty miles from Lew

ground all the way, but that did not
deter them. They wandered about for
five days before the dogs got on to his
track. Then they made camps and
the dogs trailed Big Foot up to hole
among some rocks Oh a high ridge
overlooking tributary Of the Snake
River.
Big Foot was so surprised by the
sudden attack Of the dogs that he
started to run. The dogs kept at his
heels and the race continued until the
hunters were far behind and cursine

ry was out of range.

Beers Great Military Feat,

Worn down by the attrition of num-
bers, and threatened by the winter OF the
Southern hemisphere, the Bocrs have
signed conditions OF peace. The latest
active operations were notable successes
Tor them. They practically destroyed
two or three large British detachlncnts
with artillery not long ago, and in the
last battle Of the war captured the Brit
lsh commander and the most Of his force.
Nevertheless, they yield to the general
situation upon receiving terms that re-
spect their position as soldiers and rec
ognizc their claim to relief as sufferers
from the waste and ruin Of war. They
abandon their claim to independence. but
that, as far as the Transvaal republic
was concerned, was never conceded by
England. The little Orange Free State
went into the struggle on the basis Of
sympathy, and is wiped out from the list
Of miniature nations. Dreams of a
Dutch federal union in the south Of Af-
RIGA are ended. That part of the Dark
Continent will be under the British flag
anu dominated by the English speaking
race.
In spite Of this result, which was easy
TO see from the outset, in view of the
enormous disparity between the combat
ants, the Beers have added a new chap
ter to military science. For nearly three
years they taxed the army resources Of
the British empire to the utmost and
subjected it to long series Of humilia-
tions. Up to the last this process was
kept up. The Beers, though but a hand
full, have been mighty men with their
rifles and so back to the vocations of
peace with the admiration of the world
for their tcnacity and skill as fighters.
