LAST SNUR TO MILES.
LaUdatOry Letter Torn up by the
President.

Washington, Aug. 9 Secretary Root
has always had the greatest admiration
for General Miles as soldier, and had
matters been left in Mr.. Roots hands
the General would have retired with
flying colors. instead of with an un-
precedented snub
Mr.. Root wanted General Mics to
have the hoDor of baing the last Com
manding General Of the Army, az Con
gress intended, and a week ago issued
an order which clearly indicated that
the command was to be discontinued.
At the same time, he prepared fare
well letter to Generrl Miles, which was
of the most Mandatory type.
Mr.. Root took the matter to Oyster
Bay and submitted it to the President.
Roosevelt tore up the letter, and order.
ed that retirement letter of the coldest
and most formal style be issued, and
that General Young be appointed to The
command Of the Army for six days, so
that General Miles would be deprived
o. the honor which Congress intended
him to have.
In the past it has been the custom of
the President of the United States him.
self to issue an order announcing the
retirement of the Commanding General
of the Army, and at the same time call.
ing attention to his honorable service,
etc. President Cleveland issued such
an order when Lieutenant. General
Schofield, Miles predecessor in COM
mand, retired in 1895. The same thing
was done on other similar occasions.
Everybody in Washington is discuss
ing the matter, and on all sides it was
agreed that the President had gone out
of his way to administer parting snub
to General Miles. People in Washing
ton have known that the President hated
Miles, bnt it was not bell we'd that tua
Chief Executive wou'd take occasion to
show it so plainly. Miles friends
cha 'acteriZe the matter as piece of
despicable meannass.
Miles himself has nothing to say about
it. He has been handled so roughly
that nothing coming from his superiors
is surprise to him. He naturally Ieels
hurt. but has adopted the plan of ignor-
ing the whole incident.
Another incident which was most
humiliating to General Miles occurred !
at the War Department during the re-
ception by the retiring Commanding
General of his brother officers. General |
Miles himself wore and undress uniform
as usual in bis office, but General Young
arrayed in the complete regalia
of General.
General Miles was astonished and an.
gered at seeing Young's uniform, but he
said moth ng.

BIG FIRE AT La HARPE.
Seven Buildings Burned and Whole
Town Has Marrow Escape.

La Harpe, Dec. 10.-La Harpe was
visited by disastrous fire in the bust
ness section Wednesday which destroy
ed at least $4,000 in property. Seven
frame buildings were burned and the
fire was arrested only after two hours
of the hardest kind of work by the fire
department at a brick building which
resisted the progress of the flames. The
wind was in just the right quarter to
spread the flames, but a light snow
aided in holding it in check. The Gas
City fire department arrived to help out
but the fire was already under control
The origin of the fire is unknown ex-
cept that it started in the Frereking
building, near the south end of the
block that was consumed. 1t had made
such Roadway before discovered that
two families living in the building had
narrow escapes, not being able to save
even their clothing.
The whole town is talking about the
heroic conduct of Mayor Peet. He
sprang from. his bed two doors from
where the fire started. left his opera
house, restaurant and home to the
flames, ran to the pumps, two miles
south of town, and set them going, re
turning just in time to see his $1,000
worth of property, on which he had
but $500 insurance, totally destroyed
by the flames. His action undoubtedly
saved the town. There would not have
been enough water for the fire depart
rnent to do efficient work with.

Items from Moriand.

Morland,- KAN, Dec. T10.-This. Gra-
ham county town is going to beat all
former records in grain shipments. 1t
is estimated no less than a quarter
million bushels of this years wheat has
already been bought by the four grain
buyers, and that the aggregate will
foot up close to half a million bushels
of the crop raised in Graham county
for the year 1903.
A large number of farms have been
sold to new corners in the vicinity of
Morland, and it is claimed that all the
farmers have enough money to spare
to build homes and barns, and make
other improvements in this corner of
Graham county.
George w. Stober is closing out his
general store interests in Morland
which he has successfully carried on
since 1887. 1t is his intention to en-
large his lumber interests, besides deal
in stock and grain. Heretofore Mr..
Stober acknowledges that he has had
toners; this fall and winter he adopt
ed the plan of working for himself, and
by doing this he has made money. ME-.

is going out of the general mercantile

| There is a splendid opening in Nor
land for another general store; a bank
is wanted, also a drug store. A news
paper is liable to start up most any
time. DR.. C. S. Wall, a veteran news
paper paragrapher, has this in view.
Roscoe Collins is the principal of the
Morland schools, assisted by Miss Lucy
MiIIiron. The school is prosperous,
| there being an enrolment of upwards
! of fifty. Among the improvements in
the school is the addition of a bell to
| the building, which is claimed to be
the third school in Graham county to
own a bell.
Speaking of schools, there is another
about two miles from Morland, known
as the Atkin district school. This is
named in honor of Ed Atlxin, a former
pioneer of Morland and Graham coun-
| ty, who is now living in Barton coun-
Ity. The district is thrifty, the school
having an enrolment of about thirty.

Chicago, Dec. 10-Jim Coffroth, presi-

San Francisco, passed through Chicago
en- route to New York to inveigle, if
possible, Champion Jim Jeffries into
meeting the winner of the Sandy
Ferguson-Jack johnson fight, which is
slated to take place before the Colna
club next Friday night.
Coffnoth thinks he has a difficult task
on hand. as he figures Johnson a win

he would not fight a colored man.

said the astute manager. Still, there
is always a. chance of the unlocked for
happening. Ferguson has been show
ing we'll in his training and on his in
side work looks to have a chance.
ttOf course, JEFF says he will not fight
a colored man. but we in Frisco think
he should not draw the color line. At

CHRISTMAS FOR THE POOR
Salvation Army Begins It's Work to

The Topeka corps of the Salvation Army
is now organizing it's work of preparation
for the Christmas dinner by which 1t pro-
poses to feed LOCO poor people of Topeks
on December %. A call has been sent
out signed by Captain Parr, in command,

post requesting liberal contributions of
money and food for the dinner and of
clothing and toys to be distributed on the
night preceding Christmas, when a tree

Besides the special Christmas work
with which the Salvation Army people are
occupied much regular charity work is
being done. Mr.. Rinear says that imnnr-

'O4 Even on Finances.
Lawrence. Kan, Dec. 1O.-Char1es
Guyon. fulIback of the 1903 Haskell
Indian football eleven, was elected
captain for 1904 by the Indian team.
Guyon has played three years on the
Haskell team, most of which time he
has played at end. He is fast, hard
player, and has earned the honor which
his team mates have bestowed upon
him.
The past season is considered the best
Haskell ever had. The schedule was a
very heavy one. Five large universe
ty teams were played in as many sue
ceeding Saturdays and three of the five
games were won by the Indians. All
of the games were played away from
home and that made it harder for the
red men. The Indians are anxious to
have Herrnstein as their coach again
next season. He is liked by all the
men and he has succeeded in getting
them to playing the most consistent
game that a Haskell team ever play
led. At present Mr.. Herrnstein is in
Seattle, Wash, but he will probably be
5 in Lawrence again before he goes to his
home in Ohio. While nothing definite
is known, yet the chances seem to be
good for Haskell getting him again
next season and the Indians feel con-
fident of having a good team if the
management succeeds in securing his
services.
From a financial point of view, the
Haskell season was as successful as
could be expected, considering the
large number of games away from
home and the bad weather for the Mis-
souri, game in Kansas City. The man
agenent will come out about even for
the season. The management is al
ready on the lookout for good games
next season.

BLOCKED ONCE MORE.
Enemies of the New York Americans
Still Very Active.

New York, Dec. 10-The persistent
effort to do away with the American
league baseball grounds in this city by
having streets cut through them has
met with another check The board
of estimate and apportionment, consist

comptroller and president of the board
Of aldermen. had a meeting in the city
hall, where the question came up.
David Welch, counsel for those prop
erty owners who seek to have the
streets cut through, spoke at length
and requested that December Is be
fixed upon for a hearing on the sub
ject of opening streets through the
grounds. The board after considera-
ton decided not to take the matter up
then.
In consequence the efforts to have
the streets cut through are, so far as
any results are concerned. just where
they were when begun.
