Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles, who has been In command OF
the army, retired at neon Saturday
from active service. He has reached
the age limit oil 81 years.
Gen. Miles Is not exhausted nor
worn, but still strong and vigor-
Gus and equal to days ride
strenuous enough for a man ten
years his junior. There was little
of romance of chivalry, however, In
the retirement of the old warrior.
There were no compliments nor
plandits In connection from his
civilian chiefs. but what looks
from the outside like studied and
premeditated discourtesy, be Is sent
back with no more formality than
a common soldier houorably dis
charged. On the retirement OF
General Schofeld, Cleveland took
occasion to praise the veteran and
express his regrets. The powers
In the War Department today gave
General Miles no parting boquets.
The secret records o; the War
Department may contain the facts
as to the reasons for Miles so long
being apparently persona non grata

The open season for shooting
squirrels has begun and will end
September first. Reports from
those who have been In the tim.
Der, are to the effect that squirrels
have not been as plentiful for many
years. Farmers all have the same
story to tell. They say that the
gray and fox squirrels are quite
plentiful and the saucy little red
or pine squirrels are to be seen
every where.
There Is a good deal of complaint
about the law makers fixing the
shooting season In August. which
Is the worst month OF the year to

HUNTERS MAY NOW PURSUE THE SQUIRREL

secure game of this kind. The fact
that this has been the law for two
years may be the reason for the In
crease In the number of squirrels.
The weather Is hot and dry and
the squirrels have not begun to
feed upon the nuts that are found
abundantly In the woods later In
the fall. The result Is that they
are hard to find, moving early In
morning and late In the evening.
Many hunters claim that In the hot
weather they feed at night and
scarcely move In the day time.
This Is especially true on moon
light nights and gave rise to the
prevailing opinion that the game
Is wilder In the light of the moon
than In the dark of the moon.

School for boys, would like something
over $4,000 in the way of approrria-
tons from the general assembly which
meets next January to put the indus
trial school at Eldora in better c0ndi-
ton to do the work contemplated. He
states in his biennial report, filed yes
terdsy, that practically all the aEpro-
priations of the last legislature had
been used as contemplated, or Will be
SO used soon, except the money for con-
verting an old boiler house into a cold
storage house and the erection of a
storehouse and new water tank. New
fire escapes have been erected ana are
excellent. and the new work shop and
other buildings are in course OF con-
struction. The recommendations of
Superintendent Miles for appr0pria-
tons for the next biennial period are as
follows:
Family building for boys, $4,000;
heating, lighting, plumbing, etc, on
the same, $3.50; new water tower an
system of water works, with extern
sions, $4,000; storehouse and colo stor-
age, $4,000: repair and contingent iuhc'

He was elected superintendent OF the

Gus burden of the SUPPLEMENTARY

he recently opened.
