PERSONNEL OF THE ARMY.
Lieutenant General Makes His Annual
Report-Necessity of Quarters For
Troops-Condtion of Indians-Prac.
tice Schools.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The annual re-
port OF Lieutenant General Miles, com.
manding the army, is brief review OF
the reports that have been submitted
to him hy other officers. He indorses
the recommendation of General Brooks
for readjustment of the geographical
limits of the different departments
with a view of equaliZing conditions.
General Miles calls attention to the ne.
cessity of quarters for troops, saying
that while hundreds of thousands OF
dollars are being spent for quarters
for cavalry very little is being used
to afford shelter for artillery which
is exposed to severe climates along
the coasts.
These troops" says General Miles,
"are required to be located adjacent to
the fortitications, Notwithstanding the
exposed positions of many of them,
and | see no reason why buildings
should not be constructed in time to
be occupied when it is known for
years where their services will re re.
quired."
BaIdwln's Troops compIimented.
General Miles says:
During the past year there have
been no serious engagements, except
that of the troops under General II.

gagged, this was a very spirited and
desperate engagement Our forces
were commanded by one of the most
experienced and efficient officers OF
the army, whose conduct has always
been of the highest order, and his
achievement, together with that of tha
troops, in this engagement made an
other chapter of fortitude, tenacicy
and heroic service in the history OF
American arms.
"The condition of the Indians is
quite satisfactory, and there has been
no disturbance of Importance amona
them during the last IL months. This
is accounted for principally by three
reasons:
Il. Just and humane treatment oi
the Indian and judicious management
Of their affairs.
"2. Their gradual transition from q
condition of barbarism to that of q
semi-civilized people.
"3. The close proximity of the mill

James High, one of the woodsmen
employed by Contractor Young in
getting out logs for the Boorman
Lumber company, in Smith valley,
was the victim of fatal accident
last Thursday, which resulted in his
death in the hospital in this city Fri
day. High, together with Mr.. Young,
was engaged in loading logs on a
skid at a point in the woods where
the rough trail was somewhat lower
were piled. Several logs had been
loaded without any mishap, when the
men started to roll an extremely big
log down the incline. After consid-
cradle difficulty the log was then
loaded on the skid, but slipped and
rolled off. Mr.. Young called to High
and ordered him out of the way, but
the latter in attempting to avoid the
danger slipped and fell and the log
rolled over his stomach, inf1icting a
mortal wound. Young was almost
equally unfortunate, but luckily for
him he fell into a deep rut and the
log in passing over him bruised him
severely, but not fatally
High was brought to Kalispell as
soon as possible and placed in the
hospital, where it was found neces-
sary to perform an operation on him.
His condition was such that it could
not be done at once and it was post
poned until Friday morning.
Friday morning the operation was
successfully performed, but the pa
tient was too far gone and died that
night. The end of the log had passed
over his stomach, tearing the intes-
tines in a horrible manner.
His funeral was held from McMa-
hons undertaking parlors this morn
ing, Rev. A. Pringle having charge
of the services, the interment being
in the Demersville cemetery. The de-
ceased was about 80 years of age and
had been working in the woods about
a month. His home is not known,
but it was learned that he had sis
ter at Lake View, N. j., and brother
in New York was also said that
he had a brother somewhere in this
county, but his address could not be
learned.
Mr. Young, who was injured at the
same time is confined to his bed
and it will be some time before he
will be able to move around.

A Striking Story.

THE Confessions of Wife," by
Mary Adams, attracted attention
while in the Century Magazine, where
it has been running as serial. The
identity of the author is not known
but the presumable she" has given
as keen and analytical study of a
womans heart as recent fiction has
produced. Many of these letters are
SO honest that they show the woman
to a disadvantage, and thus they add
tc the reality of the story. This
diary, which gives the heart of the
girl, wife and mother, has one char
acter which stands out clear and
strong; this is the doctor. His sp1en-
did battle with himself is suggested
rather than described, and the por-
trayal of his character is a strong
bit of writing. The author cleverly
conceals the cause that leads to the
wife's unhappiness until the very
last when it comes as a complete sur
prise. 1t is no small achievement to-
day to write story which is prac
tically without humor and make ii
interesting. This Mary Adams has
dcne. There are pages in these con
fessions where you can hear the
wife's heart beat; no wonder it is one
of the most talked about books of to
day. 1t is well illustrated by Gran
vile Smith. ($1.50, Noah's Ark.
