#1C INSTRUCT OFFICERS
Secretary of War Urges Upon Army
DUTY of Perfecting Itself.


WASHINGTON. July 2.-Secretary
Root before leaving Washington to-day
iss;,ed a statement urging upon the army
the duty of .'perfecting itself in military
science and skill, and of promoting the
prepare ton Of the United States against
future wars
The Secretary points out that since
April, 1898, 1912 lieutenants have been
appointed, who have had no means OF
acquiring a systematic miltray education.
and says that these officers should have
an opportunity for broad and thorough
training. He refers to the recent provl-
sion by Congress for an enlarged system
of military education, and asks the
hearty CO. operation on the part of every
officer in the organization Of officers
schools. which will be established at II
the larger posts without delay. Careful

BLAZE WILL BURST
Quiet Expected to Last Only Until Dead
Leader is Buried.


tBy Associated Press)
JACKSON, KY, July 22-James Cockrill,
assass1nased yesterday from an upper
window of the courthouse, will be buried
Tomorrow morning.
There was no demonstration to-day
when the remains arrived from the Lex
ington Hospital, and the town is quiet
tonight; but the general impression is
that after the funeral the friends of Cock
rill will assume the aggressive, and the
Ilargis faction will be on the defensive.
1t is generally known that both sides
have Their arms stored about the town and
are ready to line up at any time.
Samuel Jet, uncle of the dead boy, is
expected to become the leader now of the
Cockrill faction. With the exception of
Thomas Cockrill, now in Jail, charged with
the murder of Benjamin Hargis. the eld-
est in the family is Mckinley Cockrill,
aged nineteen. and he is too young to be
maze leader in a contest such as is ex-
pccted.

IruderaIumber pile.

Last Saturday Schuyler Case an en-
ployee of Wilson, Dimmick & Sin
clair, while at work in their lumber
yards, met with severe accident.
He was taking lumber from a pile
when it overbalanced and fell over
onto him. He saw it coming and
made jump to get out of the way,
but ii was too late. His cry for help
brought A. S. Dimmick and o. f.
Webster quickly to his assistance and
they released him as soon as possible.
DR.. G. M. Wilson was called and he
was removed to his home in the Luz
Their addition. The doctor found the
bone of the right leg cracked above
the ankle, besides being badly bruised.
1t will be quite number of weeks
undoubtedly before he will be able to
go to work again but it is thankful 1t
is not worse.

Beldfng Is Now Practically Free
From This Disease Once More.


Today the BANNER is pleased to say
that the Smallpox scourge in Belding
is practically over. Every case is
fully recovered and out of quarantine
except Mrs. Wilbur Wilson and John
Travis, and the latter may have been
released before this reaches the read
er's eye as the doctor considers him
ready to be. Mrs. Wilson being a
more recent case and owing to other
reasons also, the quarantine will re-
main on longer. However there has
not been a new case now in over two
weeks, and no more are expected.
Some of those who are always an
ticipating trouble say the germs will
be left and we will have another out z
break next fall. Perhaps this may be
true. 1t is not unlikely. That being
true, it would be good plan TO take
extra care to clean up your premises
this spring and carefully observe san
itary rules. If this were done by all
families, together with the quite
thorough and general vaccination i'm
dulged in this spring we think we
would have little to fear.
Much criticism has been INDUCED in
on the part of many regarding the
doctors and the city authorities, but
they should be commended instead.
If it should occur again we think they
will be more strict than before and
public sentiment will back them up
too.
The scare now being over those who
have been in the habit of coming to
the town to trade but have been
frightened by the dreadful stories in
circulation, can come to town again,
and business may be expected to re-
sumo normal channels.

WANT A HOSPITAL.
Are Moving Toward Es-
tablishing One in Belding.

The local physicians association is
considering the feasibility of estab-
fishing hospital in Bedding. The
whole thing is as yet in an embryo
state so we cannot give any very
definite details. However it is their
wish to purchase the residence of
Mrs j. +. Clemens, which can be Sc
cured at reasonable figures and is adj
mirably adapted to the purpose in
size and construction. AS one doctor
expressed it could be put into i'm
mediate use without the necessity of
driving single nail.
The advantages are many in town
where there are so many large fac
tories and so many are without homes
of their own. A great many cases
could be taken care of here just as
well as to be sent away. Their plan
is to have trained nurses here to be
put in charge, and to sell four or five
hundred tickets or more at s. each
emitting the holder TO years privi-
leges of the institution. 1t is be-
lieved that this number ought to be
disposed of easily. Perhaps some of
the lodges or churches would like to
take a room for themselves for the
particular use of their members
