MEDALS May NOT BE READY
Winners of Rife Competition at
L~eavenwOrth Likely 10 Wait
for Their Rewards.

It is probable that the winners OF the
medals in the rife contest now in progress
at Fort L~eavenworth will not receive those
medals at the time they are won and hat
the visit OF General Bates to the range
cannot be for the purpose Of comforting the
medals.
At the time the contest was decided upon
the ~ad1utant general OF the department sent
to Washington for the medals and has re-
ceived word saying that the requlsltion
cannot be filled for the reason that the
medals authorized by the regulations have
not been designed at this time, but that
they will be sent as soon as they have
been designed and manufactured. At
headquarters It is not known how long It
will take to prepare the design and have
IT approved. but few OF the onicers believe
that they will be ready by the close Of the
competition. Major s. S. Leach, chief
engineer ofhcer Of the department. who
also commands the First battalion OF en-
glneers. Is feeling pleased with the showing
made b. the members Of that battalion in
the competition. With only four men in
the competition, three ~ them made records
the first day which would qualify them Tor
places on the team OF the department and
one OF them secured second place. He
likes the showing all the more from the
fact that the men had previously drilIed
only with the carbine and the use OF he
rifle is new to them.
Companies A. b. c and d Of the Twenty
NTH infantry arrived in San Francisco on

Twenty-seoond regiment at that post going

paratiOn Before Ending
Her own Life,


The remains Of Julia Howell, who COM
mitted suicide in Denve Thursday night,
arrived In Omaha yesterday morning and
were taken from the station to the Prospect
Hill cemetery, where they were Inferred.
Mrs. ]. George Leyner Of Denver accom-
panied the remains.
Miss Howell had evidently contemplated
suicide for some time and It is probable
that with her was buried . broken heart.
Two weeks ago she came to Omaha from
Chicago and purchased a lot in the Pros
pect Hill cemetery. She then called upon
a marble nrm and ordered a monument to
be erected as soon as possible. II is the
engravings and inscription on this monu-
ment that leads to the belief that some
time In the life Of this woman there has
been a romance.
On one side Of the stone Is the word
Julia" beneath this are two hands
clasped. one that Of a man and the other
Of a woman. Beneath the hands is the
word Eternity"
Miss Howell left a note, found in the
room by her body. stating that i'll health
had caused her to end her life. BY this
note was another requesting that her re-
mains be sent to Omaha for burial,
She asked the representative OF the mar
BILE firm here what she should do In order
that her body be brought to Omaha for in
torment In ease OF sudden death. He ad
vised leaving a note to that effect with
some friend. She left II in her room,
1t Is said Miss Howell has no relatives
here and TO the marble man she stated that
she had never been in the town except
when she purchased the stone and lot.
Mrs. Leyner would make no statement
in regard to the dead woman and said that
the notices that had been published had been
given out by others than those who knew
the woman. She was said to be the daugh-
ter Of ]. s. Howell OF Chicago.

Railway Company for injuries alleged to
have been received in a collision between
one of the defendant company's cars and
large delivery wagon on November %

BOARD APPROVES MoRTARS.

But Recommends Changes In Plac.
ing Them for Coast Defence.
The War Department has received the
report of the board of army officers which
recently conducted, at Fort Preble, Me-.
tests Of army mortars. On the whole. the
board has reported favorably upon the
results obtained.
The accuracy and general efficiency Of
mortars, when used under service condi-
tions. have been demonstrated to the sat
isfaction of the board
1t Is recommended. however, that in
the future mortars be differently en-
placed. The present method of sinking the
guns eighteen feet below the level Of the
earth has, according to the board, seri-
Gus disadvantages.
The results of the tests mean that the
mortar batteries will continue part of
the coast defences OF the army.
