Of business. In the modern instance the

Of life that comes with being shot at only
while in molten True, this is a mighty
slim chance under ordinary circumstances

skill and is almost as certain a visitation

Joy Of hunting than the mere killing of the
game that gets the city man 10 forsake his
comfortable surroundings for the days he
must spend in the open, dscomforts such as
being occasionally soused in ice cold water
and other inconvenience he must endure in
order to get "a good bunch of birds" but
the birds are toothsome and give some gus
tatory delight to those who cannot "go
hunting" so they may be set down as more
than an incident Of the trip after all.
.
Nebraska has long been famous as a
place where water fowl may be hunted in
spring and fall. In the fall particularly
do the birds, in prime condition from
summer spent among the rich feeding
grounds in the north delight to break the
long journey south by loafng for a few
days around the shallow streams and in
the glorious grain fields OF the Antelope
state. Carefully framed laws give these
birds protection which some think is rather
too broad, but which the more conserva-
tive OF hunters think is admirably designed
to rcrpetuate the shooting that has made
the state famous.
One of the greatest OF all game birds is
not known to Nebraska but Iowans have in
times past enjoyed the hunting of It, and
still 1t may be found in some OF the deeper
wooded hills in the southeastern part OF
the state The turkey, native to America,
roamed the woods in early times from the
Atlantic coast to the Mississippi river, but
is now confined to the woods OF the south
ern states and a very few localities along
the Father of Waters. More majestic than
any fowl of the open prairies, wary as the
wild goose, fleet of foot and powerful OF
wing, keen of sight and hearing and more
difficult to hit than his size would indi-
cate, the turkey is the ideal game bird.
Hunting him in the proper season is ac-
cOmpanied by the keenest zest the sports
man knows, and when the hunt is rewarded
by a twenty-eight pound gobber, such as
fell to the gun of Captain Billings of the
navy recently, the Joy of the chase is made
perfect. Chase means exactly what one
must do as a rule to overhaul turkey,

NO POLITICS IN MILES, CASE
THE GENERAL CONSIDERED AN
HABITUAL "KNockER."
His Bravery and Patriotism Not
Observation-Disclosures as to His
Wisdom and Discretion.

Washington, April 18:-It is impossi-
BILE to perceive of any politics coming
out of the enforced retirement of
General Miles. Public sentiment,
which during the Spanish war was
with Miles, has undergone a radical
change, and everywhere the tendency
nov is to set him down as a fault
finding, disconnected man, who leaves
no opportunity unimproved for stir
ring up strife in the war department.
He was offensive to the Mckinley
administration, and only McKinley's
tact and patience prevented an open
rupture. He has been equally often
sive to the Roosevelt administration.
He has q%uarreled with two presidents
and with two secretaries of war, and
it is difficult to believe that the fault
is not largely on his side.
The trouble lies in the fact that
Miles, as commanding general of the
army, does not realize that his posi-
ton is one of courtesy rather than of
real authority or responsibility. I'm
der our constitution the president is
the commander-in-chief Of the army
and navy, and expresses his will
through the secretaries of wal and
the navy. The commanding general
of the army is merely the senior gen
eral, a fact of which Miles loses sight.
He has contended from the beginning
that the command of the armies in
Cuba and in the Philippines should
be under his control, losing sight of
the fact that the president could not
abdicate his authority, even if SO dis
posed. Both Mckinley and Roosevelt
have been unwilling to place Miles
in full charge, for while his courage
and patriotism were not questioned,
there have been serious doubts as to
his wisdom and discretion.
No employer in the United States
would retain the services Of a man
who was continuously and openly
and aggressively disloyal to him and
to his interests, and let pass no oppor-
tunity to embarrass. him. Why, then,
should the government, it is asked,
retain such a man in it's service?

MAY CONFIRM cRozIER.
Action OF secretary Root Likely to
Remove the Obstacle.

Washington, April 18:-Secretary
Root. before leaving for Cuba yester-
day, made an order relieving General
William Crozier and Captain I. N.
Lewis, coast artillery, from further
duty with the board Of ordnance and
forti1cation.
It is understood that this action
was taken out of Difference to the
military committe Of the senate. The
adverse report of the committee on
the nomination of General Crozier as
chief of ordnance is said to have been
largely due to the complaints of in
ventors having business with the
board of ordnance and fertilization.
Now that the department has given
heed to this objection it is confidently
predicted that there will be a DISPOSE
ton in the senate to meet the de-
partment half way and confirm Gen
eral Crozier as chief Of ordnance.
Major Carter Shaler, ordnance depart
ment, stationed at Indianapolis, sue
ceeds General Crozier as a member
Of the board of ordnance and FORTH
cations, ana Captain Harry Taylor,
of the engineers, stationed at Boston,
succeeds Captain Lewis as recorder
of the board, who has been ordered to

Washington, April 1S.-President
Roosevelt today sent to the house a
veto OF the bill pensioning Thomas
F. Walter, q lieutenant in a Pennsyl-
vania volunteer regiment during the

message states that the records Of the

general court-martial for disobedience
Of orders as to going on picket duty
and that this disobedience was admit
ted.
ITO inscribe his name on the pen

be to condone an inexecusable offense
by a commissioned officer to detract
from the high estimate in which the
pension roll ought aver to be held, and
to do injustice to soldiers now on
that roll, especially those under the
act of June ~, 1890, where an honor
able discharge from the service is q
precedent to obtain a pension"

REDMOND MAKES SPEECH
WARNS ENGLAND THAT IRELAND
WILL RETALIATE.
Leader Promises That the Irish
Organization Will Compel
Redress.

London, April 18.-In the house OF
commons today john Redmond, the
Irish nationalist leader, speaking OF
the crimes act proclamation issued
last night by the lord lieutenant OF
Ireland, Earl Cadogan, declared that
an infamous conspiracy was on foot
in England to foment crime in Ire.
land where none existed.
The stories of outrage and violence
in Ireland were infamous calumny.
The nationalists in Ireland were only
governed by a contemplate minority.
This statement was cheered by the
Irish members.
A hundred men, continued, Mr.. Red
mond, stood ready to replace every
man sent to prison in this struggle.
The Irish entreated Mr.. Wyndham,
the chief secretary for Ireland, to
change his policy, but il he continued
it, they would meet him face to face
and give blow for blow.
Their answer to his coersion Of Ire
land would be to harden their hearts,
strengthen their organization and
compel redress.
Mr.. Wynham replied that while it
was true that there was a compare
tive absence in Ireland Of crime
against the person, the lives of people
were made miserable by intimidation
and boycotting
The government was not acting
from political motives, but as a re-
suit of information l~aboriously col
lected and carefully examined.
A motion for adjournment to dis
cuss coercion made by Mr.. Redmond
was rejected by a vote Of 253 to 248.

Henry salzer and Others to Erect
One at la Crosse.
La Crosse, Wis, April 18.-A com
pany Of eastern capitalists, headed
by Henry Salzer Of the Salzer Seed
company, Of this city, are to erect a
sugar factory here, to cost half a mil
lion dollars, and take 500 bushels of
beets daily. It will employ 200 skilled
hands the year round and many I'M
skilled laborers. The only thing ask
ed is that farmers in the vicinity on
tract to put in 1000 acres Of beets
yearly to keep the factory running.
Mr.. salzer says that fate Of the
Cuban reciprocity will have no effect
on the erection of the factory. Reel
procity with Cuba will not harm beet
sugar, he says.

IN THE ORDERS PREPARED FOR
HIS RETIREMENT.
ONLY AWAITS SIGNATURE
Narrowly Escaped Court Martial for
Disobediance Of orders Under
= Democratic administration.

Washington, April 17.-Orders 70,
the rtirement Of General Miles have
been actually prepared and merely
need the presidents signature to put
them into effect. The orders assign.
ing General Brooke to command Of
the army and providing for other nee
essary changes were made out some
time ago and are ready for promu1ga-
ton as soon as General Miles retire
ment is announced.
The compulsory retirement Of Gen
eral Miles will be announced in a rem
eral order issued by the adjutant gen.
eral at the direction Of the president,
and will, It is thought, be accompanied
by a statement of specific acts Of in
subordination and violation Of the
army regulations.
A record Of his official conduct go
ing back to a time prior to his suc-
ceeding General Schofeld as senior
major general in command OF the
army has been prepared and will be
made public in such a way that the
country will understand the nature
Of his offense and the reasons why the
administration feels impelled to re-
buke him.
In 1894, when General Miles was in
command at Chicago, he was averse
to carrying out the orders of the war
department at the time OF the labor
strike there and he barely escaped
court-martial at the hands of the
democratic administration, and from
that day to this he has committed
many acts that would have resulted.
in court-martial if committed by any
other officer of the army. General
Miles is now charged with aiding in
every possible way those who are
criticizing the government policy in
the Philippines.

ment Regarding Situation.
New York, April 1.-THE follow

ing the Louisville & Nashville situa
ton was made today by a member Of
the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.:
"The public as well as the specula
tive community, should bear in mind
these three things:
Il. There will be no corner.
"2. There will be no contest for
control.
So ]. P. Morgan & Co. absolutely
control Louisville & Nashville.
The first is assured by Mr.. Gates,
and the manner in which he has dis.
posed of his stock. Mr.. Belmont's
statements r assurances as to the
second, and J. p. Morgan & Co. are
sponsors for the third.
Further, Louisville & Nashville
will be operated in the future as ii
has in been in the past and there will
be no change, J. P. Morgan & Co. say
positively that the present status of
the road is the same as it has been
heretofore, except that ]. P. Morgan
controls and directs absolutely and
without qualification. Those who init
mate that MI. Gates might possibly
make trouble in the future or that he
is in any position to do so are much
mistaken. The only one to be reckon
ed with in the management of Louis.
Vile & Nashville is Mr.. Morgan. II
that fact is borne in mind there will
be no misunderstanding and no need
OF guessing. The situation Is con-
trolled by him and that should be
sufficient guarantee to everyone"
AS foreshadowed yesterday the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Louis
vile directors scheduled for today
