FIRST CASE OF THE KIND
Morton the First G. A. n. Comma ader
Ever Suspended.

The suspension and pending court
martial Of Martin Norton, commander,
Department of Kansas, G. A. R., is the
first case Of the kind on record, as far
as known. Past department commanders
have been tried for offenses, but never
while department commanders. The
charges and specifications have been re-
ceived at G. A. R. national headquarters
here, and an order of suspension issued.
The detail for the court has not been
made up and the offending officer will not
be tried until the acting commander, J.
B. Remington, Is heard from. Mr.. Rem
3ngton Is the senior vice commander.
Norton was invited by the commander
of the Abilene post to assist at the in
stallation of post officers. He was in
vited to perform the same services for
the relief corps. The charge is that on
that day he was seen in a state of in
toxication on the tsreets and when he ap-
peared at the post hall was unfit for duty.
1t is possible something may be back
OF the charges, as there has been some
opposition to the commander for some
time, but no information is at hand on
this point.
Commander Norton has established an
excellent record for his department from
business standpoint. No state sends In
better and more business-like reports
than Kansas when they come from the
commanders hand, it is said
Martin Norton is a travelling salesman
for an agricultural house. He is 62 years
OF age. He was private in the One Hun
dred and Tenth Illinois infantry, second
lieutenant in the Twentieth Illinois in
fantry, captain and assistant adjutant
general, U. S. ", and first lieutenant Sec
ond infantry, brevet captain U. 8. A.

.BIGNEW WAREHOUSE
Details Of the Deere. & Weber Co.
Building Plans.
A TOTAL INVESTMENT OF $4,000
Stories With Abundant
TrackaGe.

7 FF K . +. + E. .
Additional particulars in regard to the
new Deere & Weber Co. warehouse are
at hand to-day. The land, 22O feet by 165
at the corner OF Eighth avenue N and
Washington will be the site Of a five or
six-story building covering nearly the en-
tire tract. The ground cost about $780,
600, the warehouse will represent an in
Vestment of nearly 100000 more. The
warehouse is to be built with view to
present needs as we'll as future expansion
and will give 100000 feet of floor space.
A special point is the provision in connec-
ton with the warehouse of ample track
age room for the economical and quick
handl1ng of car load business. Three
tracks will furnish $50 feet of trackage.
one Will be laid on the Deere & Weber
land, the other two on the 500 right Of
way. G. c. Webber said to-day:
yeniences, such as automatic sprinkler sys-
tenn, several elevators, etc. The building
will be FIVE or six stories in height
The purpose of erecting this building is to
concentrate all of our business under one
roof, and utilizing the most economical
method Of handling the business. At present,
aside from our central warehouse at 312 First
street N, we have several outside warehouses,
which makes 1t expensive and inconvenient
to handle goods. .#
We intend to begin work on the building in
the early spring and to move into it early
next fall.
The Deere & Weber company is a
branch of Deere & Co.. of Moline, ILL.,,
manufacturers Of plows, cultivators and
harrows, and this concern is made up Of
Deere & Co., Moline, and G. C.. Weber

neapolis in November, 1880, for the pur-
pose of facilitating the northwestern dis
tributton of the goods from the factory at
Moline. and in connection with con-
Quoting a general jobbing business COW
ering farm machinery, farm wagons and
vehicles.
The company started in small way and
has grown with the growth Of the north
west. The concern now employs In the
office and warehouse about fifty men with
twelve on the road.
Mr.. Weber has been connected with the
concern since it's start and Mr.. Velie for
some ten years. G.. H. Deere, also presi-
dent Of Deere & Co., and the Deere &

tracts with the railroad agents for the haul
ing of the special train engaged by the gov
ernment for the prince. This train will be
made up of six cars of the finest description,
and one will be set apart for the exclusive
accommodation of the prince. The plan looks
to as fair q division Of the time as condi-
lions allow between sections of the country.
It is now purposed to take the distinguished
visitor as far into the south as Chattanooga,
as far west as st. Louis and ae far north as
Milwaukee on one side and Boston on the
other.
The prince will arrive in New York on Sat
urday and will spend his fret Sunday quietly
in that city, paying visit to Grants tomb
In Riverside park. He will leave after mid
night arriving In Washington about 1880
a m He will be met at the station by a mill
itary guard made up Of a squadron OF cavalry
and q battery OF artillery from Fort Myer
With this escort he will proceed to the Ger
man embassy, and a detail Of engineers from
the Washington barracks will be named as
a special guard Of honor to watch the en-
bassy day and night as long as the prince
remains here. The second Sunday probably
will be spent at Chattanooga, and a visit will
be paid to the great national park at Chicka-
mauga The third and last Sunday Of the
princes stay will be spent In New York,
where he will rest and. perhape. visit some

THE JURY IS COMPLETE.
FOR THE TRIAL, OF MEGAARDEN
Trial Expected to Be Brief-State
Will Take About a Day and :
Half. -.

Eleven men have been secured for the
trial of Sheriff Megaarden. Those follow
ing Mart Whitcomb. who was sworn as
No. 8 yesterday, are as follows: Fred
erick w. Uric, Christian Scientist. 500
Nicollet avenue; Thomas F. Morrow,
chimney and carpet cleaning, 2527 Seventh
street s; N. G. H. Hoffman, Herbert M.
Puffer, manufacturer, 1928 Girard avenue
S; Mark M. Wolcott, manager fuel yard.
1905 Harriet avenue; Carl Darth, painter;
William F. Pagel, wholesale -four dealer,
1924 Stevens; A. b. Moore. About seventy
tive were called in securing this number.
The twelfth juror chosen was. Abner L.
Adams, machinist at Camden place.
Following the completion of the Jury
w. c. Leary opened for the state.
l.. A. Condit, deputy county auditor,
was the first witness sworn.
1t is believed that the trial will be q
short one. The state expects to get it's
evidence all in before the jury in about
day and half, but this will depend
largely on the manner in which the state
conducts the cross examination. The de-
Tense will doubtless not require much
more time than the state. ct while all
expect a short trial they do not forget that
trials which were estimated to require
only two OF three days have often dragged
on for many weeks

COLONIES ARE:LOYAL
Australia Would Furnish More
Troops for South Africa. -.
THE VIEWS OF MORRIS ANsELL
He Is Now on His Way to England
From the Anttpodes-Cham- .
berlain's Policy. J

Australians feel no ill will toward Eng
land because Of the misfortunes Of war
In South Africa, said Morris Ansell, who
is at the West hotel to-day on his way
home from the ,antipodes. Mr.. Ansell rep
resents an English company, engaged
largely in the manufacturing of flexible
tubing, and spends most Of his time in the
colonies. He declares that the Australian
federation would be quick to respond to
further call for troops toad England's
cause In South Africa, but he admits that
the contribution might not be so large or
so enthusiastic as on the first appeal.
Said he:
I do not doubt, however, that the loyal
subjects OF Australia would make as ready
a response to any summons from London as
the people of England themselves. There is
no denying that no matter what spirit it
may have been undertaken in, the war in
South Africa is far from being a. popular one
to-day. Hls>es J# :
The people have been dissatisfied with Joe
Chamberlain's war policy from the start, and
as long as he continues to mismanage things,
they will scarcely take a more hopeful view.
He has botched the whole performance and
it is about time they rang down the cur
tain on him. The trouble with Chamberlain,
as with so many of our British and American
statesmen, Is that he shoots off his mouth
too much. He is forever saying things, as
In his birmingham speech, which might bet
ter far have been left unsaid. Chamberlain
was all right 80 long as he was under the
protecting wing of William e. Gladstone, but
he is no man for primo minister. His place
was at the head of the board Of trade, where
he was In his element.
Mr.. Ansell believes that the war with
the Beers will end as suddenly as it be-
gan. He agrees with Lord Rosebery in
the statements made in a recent speech
to the effect that the enemies Of England
on the continent were secretly furnishing
the Beers with munitions Of war.
Editor Stead, he says, Is discredited in
England. Very little attention is paid
to his pro-Boer agitation and his book on
the characterization of the world
