At other points, however, there were
violent breaks especially in specialties.
Some of the market leaders were also

to occasional outpouring Of special

was shortlived, as heavy buying orders
appeared all through the list, and the

Washington, Aug. S.-The war de-
partment Is much alarmed over the
continued and increasing number of
designations among the officers Of the,
army. During the last seven months
twenty nine officers have resigned from

der general, one captain and twenty
seven lieutenants.
Brigadier General John A. johnson
left the army to look after business in
terests and many other designations
were accounted for in the same man.
ner, but the real reason for most Of
the designations, especially among the
younger officers, is that they found
military life unsuited and distasteful
to them. Most of these latter were men
who were appointed from civil life I'M
der the army reorganization since the
Spanish war. Only six of the reSigna-
tons were those Of West Point gradu-
ates, and Of these only two left the
army on account of the secretary of
wars ruling permitting volunteer off,

to outrank them.

designations We're almost unknown,
among young and commissioned officers
of the regular army before the Spanish
war. In 1897 only seven Of the 2,164
commissioned officers in the army re-
signed. This was one resignation for
every 300 officers. In 1902 the number
Of designations was fourteen, or one
for every 272 officers. If designations
continue throughout this year at the
same rate which has prevailed for the
first seven months about one officer In

unfamiliarity with the care of the an
imals on the part of those to whom
they were entrusted.
c. T. Weatherby, arrested here last
winter and taken to Luverne, Mimi,
for trial on the charge of forgery, is
making a novel defense. His hear
ing has been on for several days and
is attracting more than local interest
because of the plea of mental ire
sponsibility that is set up by his at
torneys. The claim is made that he
was insane at the time he committed
the forgery and consequently not liza
BILE to punishment. Experts from sew
eral states have been ~subpoenaed by
the defendant and the attempt will be
made to establish his insanity at the
time the forgeries were perpetrated.
Even if acquitted on the indictment
on which he is now being tried, he
will have to stand trial on three 9th
