TO IMPROVE THE MILITIA.
The Proposed law Likely to be Adopt.
cd

II what is known as the "militia
bill'' becomes law, there will be a
big change in the organization, equip
ment and discipline OF many OF the
state troops. The object is to get
uniformity so that the citizen soldiers
of the various states may be called
into national service as promptly and
efficiently as they are to preserve the
laws of their states. Each company
will be comprised OF So men, II COM
panies will form a regiment, 3 regi-
ments brigade, 8 brigades divis-
ion. At the annual encampment
there will be regular regiments and
both the United States men and the
militia will be governed by the same
orders. The expense Of fitting out
the state troops with improved maya
zine guns and other modern accoa-
trements will be betrayed by the ma
tional government. The president
may at his discretion call out any
number of the state soldiers in time
of an invasion of foreign enemy OF
rebellion for period not exceeding
nine months. The blue uniform will
be discarded and the field dress OF
olive drab will be substituted. Man y
military men doubt the propriety OF
issuing the Krag,Jorgensen guns ow-
ing to the fact that it is hard to keep
them in order, and the change could
be quickly made in time of war as II
requires very little drill to become ia
miliar with the magazine guns. The
militia is now probably in better con-
ditlon than ever in its history, and
makes the country an excellent stand
ing army at very meager expense.

A Splendid Object LessO0.

The example Of George Vanderbilt's
stytem OF farming at Biltmore, North
Carolina, is beginning to be felt
throughout all that part OF the State.
At first people regarded his enormous
expenditures and the magnificent re-
suits with curiosity and wonder.
Further observations suggested that
his methods of farming were easy Of
imitation on a small scale, and thus
Mr.. Vanderbilt's highest ambition is
being realized, and the object lesson
he intended to place before the eyes OF
the people OF North Carolina is hay-
ing splendid results.
To the stranger the most noticeable
changes are in the house and high
ways. Formerly the inhabitants of
this section came to town over roads
that were hub-deep in mud for six
months and beclouded with dust the
remainder of the year. Now within
the neighborhood of Asheville an
running In all directions are some OF
the best macadamized roadways in
in the country, which are being ex-
tended by the County Commissioners
as rapidly as possible, but altogether
too slowly to satisfy people who have
farm products to haul and horses and
carriages for pleasure driving. Before
Mr.. Vanderbilt came nobody ever
thought of building road, but his
example was almost Immediately imi-
tated, and since then, | understand,
nearly $40, 600 has been expended in
public improvements by the people OF
this county, which will soon have
one of the best systems Of pavements
and highways In the world

WABASH WILL BE BUILT.
Waynesburg Times Gives Assurance
of Construction of the Line.

Many people are asking why the
Times man does not write up more
inside Wabash railroad news, and to
all such inquiries he makes this
answer:
l. Newspapers, as such, can't
build railroads, else our county
would have been covered with them
ere this. We know of some papers
which have built a..railroad or two
in Greene county. almost every
week for years.
2. The Greene County railroad,
that is the Wabash extension, is
progressing as rapidly as possible
and is as sure of construction as
anything human can be.
3. Plans and purposes cannot be
made public property. This would
defeat them; but the work goes on
just the same.
4. The Wabash greatly appre.
ciates the public's good will and as
sistance and stands ready to recip
rocate the same in every possible
way.
5. No stone is being left unturn-
ed which will aid in giving Greene
county this independent trunk line,
which will make our county truly
great
6. To the public: Just be pa.
tient. The work is being pushed
with all dispatch and the men who
are back of the movement are in the
deepest sort of earnest. In the
meantime, push and pull for the
Wabash !-Waynesburg Times.

col. T. h. DAVIS
Gives Substantial Christmas Gift to
Friend of his BOyh0Od Days.

An Ellicott City, Md, special to the
Baltimore Sun says: "On the occa-
sion Of his recent visit to Howard
county, Col. Thomas B. Davis, OF
West Virginia, who came to see rela-
tives and the few remaining friends
of his boyhood days, made a number
OF substantial Christmas gifts distrib-
nting no less than $4,000 TO eight or
ten persons. One OF the recipients,
who got $500 is no relation to the
generous giver, but was remembered
as former employee OF Colonel Davis
In Howard county. With the gift
the recipient has bought himself a
modest home. Colonel Davis besides
owning valuable property located
principally in West Virginia received
for his portion of the West Virginia
Railroad sale to the Gould interests

Virginia Ice Bound.

Mr.. S. NJ. Prince returned last
night from a visit to Charlestown and
the Valley of Virginia. He reports
that Virginia is firmly held in a
sheath of heavy sleet. All the rain
that has fallen in the past few days
has frozen. Trees and telegraph
and telephone poles are broken down
and the whole surface of the country
is sheet of ice. The streams are not
much swollen as the water froze as
it fell. This condition OF affairs pre-
walls east of Cumberland.

Wheeling News.
Assistant United States District
Attorney E. M. Showalter came in
from Fairmont Tuesday. and is con-
ferring with property owners at
Fourteenth and Chapline streets re-
garding prices they desire for their
holdings, which the government is
seeking for the new posUoffice location.
The government still gives evidence
OF desiring to deal with the Wheeling
folks gently, and is adopting concil-
iatory measures. Mr.. Showalter ex-
pressed the view Tuesday morning
that everything would likely be ad-
justed before very long, and there is
some prospect Of getting affairs in
shape without going to the courts.
A meeting was arranged with the
Fort Henry management Tuesday
afternoon, when it is thought some
conclusion will be reached regarding
the price. 1t is understood that the
club has long since fixed its valuation
but it was deemed too high by the
government. Mr.. Showalter with
Postmaster Hall spent the greater
part of the day comforting with the
owners of the properties desired. The
Cummins, the Fort Henry and the
Boyd properties are wanted, and un-
less this visit of the district attorney
pans out, he will bring condemnation
proceedings acting under the original
orders issued by the treasury depart,
ment.
1t is the expectation OF the govern
ment that all details will be closed by
the first of the year.

MUST INDEED
POOR BOSSY DIE?
Law Says She Must, But Her Owner
VIII Fight the
Case.

Evansville, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE IA
vorite COW of u Kentucky farmer is
awaiting the death sentence in one of
the local slaughtering pens. despite the
efforts of her owner and the police au-
thorities of to get her out. The case
is IA peculiar one. Saturday Charles
johnson, farmer living across the
river from here in Henderson cOun-
ty, went out to milk and feed his cat
tie, when he discovered that his IA
vorite cow was missing. He saw
tracks and the footprints of man,
and followed them to the river. He
then came to the conclusion that some
one had stolen the COW and brought
her to this city.
He crossed the river and told his
story of Chief of Detectives Peck. who
located the COW in Akin'S slaughter
pen. He made Il demand for the COW.
and was told that under the law the
cow could not come out of the pen
alive. The law referred TO applies
to quarantine pens in which Texas
cattle have been placed. and if Il COW
from any other part of the country
be placed with Texas cattle in such
pen, she must be killed before she
leaves the pen. Such was the case
with Johnson's cow. Johnson has en-
ployed an attorney.
