THREW VITRIOL AT HUSBAND
MONTANA MAN WILL LOSE HIS EYESiGhT
AS RESULT OF HIS WIFE's JEALOUSY.
Woman Walked Into His Place of Business
aud Made the Assault without
Uttering n Word of Ex-
PLANTATION.

Half crazed by jealousy, Mrs. Robert
Shultz, wife of a saloonkeeper at Dew
ey, Mont, threw two ounces of vitriol
in her husbands face. Her revenge
may make him blind for life. 1t Is said
she intended the vitriol for the woman
she believes to be the recipient of her
husbands attentions, but not being
able to find her, threw it on Shultz
instead.
Shultz was behind the bar serving
glass of beer to a customer when his
wife, who is young and handsome,
entered. Her face was flushed and her
hair disheveled. Without uttering a
word she walked up to the bar, and as
her husband looked at her inquiringly,
she threw the vitriol in his face.
The couple were married only last
fall, and until Mrs. Shultz became

BUILDER OF EMPIRE DEAD.


Cecil Rhodes, the African Millionaire
Passes Away After u Long Illness.
Cecil Rhodes long illness termina-
ted in his death at Capetown at 5:45
p. m. Wednesday. The immediate
cause OF his death was two successive
attacks of heart failure.
Cecil John Rhodes, known as the
diamond king, was the younger son OF
an English clergyman. His father
sent him to Oxford, but signs of con-
sumption necessitated change of cli-
mate and air. An older brother was
farming in Natal and thither Cecil
Rhodes was sent.
Kimberly at this time was becoming
famous, by reason of the discovery of
diamonds there, and Herbert Rhodes
caught the fever After year the
younger brother was greatly improved
in health and then was the commence.
ment of his successful career
He and his brother staked out claims
and worked them. Fortune smiled on
small fortune. Cecil Rhodes then
ceased his work, returned home, re-
entered college and took his degree.
His means being exhausted he returned
once more to the diamond fields and
started to work again with renewed
energy. He proved skillful in working
the mines, but 10 selling his wares
was where he evinced the most skill.
He made splendid profits and loomed
up as successful man in the eompeti-
tive race, as the output was so large
that the supply exceeded the demand.
After much argument he succeeded In
getting the miners to combine for mu
tai protection. The great De Beers
| company was then formed aud Cecil
Rhodes practically controlled 1t. The
| capital of the company is placed at
$40, ,000, 900, and previous to the start
| ing OF the Boer war it paid dividend
| averaging 40 per cent.

TO TRAIN BOYS FOR WAR.
Government VIII Provide For Miiitnr,
Education in Schools.

Government Will Provide For Military
Education in Schools.
The War Department has issued an
important order providing for military
training in colleges and schools
throughout the country. The order
contemplates the cooperation by the
army with all educational institutions
in furnishing military education.
Provision is also made for the detail
ing of army officers as instructors and
the free distribution of arms and
equipment. The system of military in
struction will be similar to that adopt
ed by the War College Board, and 100
army officers are to be apportioned to
colleges and schools in the several
States for duty as military instructors.
These officers will be detailed each for
period of two years, and will make
frequent reports in writing 10 the Ad-
jutant-General of the Army upon the
progress OF the military instruction.
Each institution, in order to secure
the services of an army officer. will
have TO guarantee that at least 100 pu-
pills will be kept under military instruc-
tion. The scholars will be organized
into companies and battalions of infan-
try, and will be trained in all respects
like soldiers of the regular army.
At least 10000 pupils are expected
to come under the instruction which
the order provides. The institutions
will be divided into three classes,
schools and colleges. agricultural
schools and military schools. the latter
including those already established by
the Government. Separate courses of
study will be arranged for each. the
instruction at the strictly military
schools being somewhat more elaborate
than that provided for the civil institu-
tions.
Provision will be made for issuing
arms for the use of students, who are
to be supplied with rifles similar to
those used by the cadets at West
Point. A liberal allowance, also, will
be made for ammunition, including
projectiles for the field pieces of artil-
lery. 4 complete record of all students
taking this military instruction is to be
kept at the War Department. and IN
the selection of officers preference will
be given to the graduates of those
schools who have taken advantage of
the military instruction.
At those institutions which grade the
department Of military science and tac-
tics equally with the other important
branches of instruction, and which
make proficiency in that department a
requisite for securing a diploma the
names Of the most distinguished three
students in the military department.
upon graduation, are to be inserted in
the United States Army Register.
