GENERAL WooDsoN DEAD.
Well Known Army officer Passed
Away at Paola.

Brigadier Scneral a. Z. Woodson, L.
S. A.. retired died at Paola Friday. He
was 60 years old and had military service
covering forty-one years. He viii be
buried in the National cemetery at Ari-
ington. Va.
General Noodson was one Of the best
Anown military men Of the west. During
his long career in the army he was al
most constantly on the frontier and
fought Indians from the Missouri river
20 their last strongholds in New Mexico
and Arizona, and the northwest country.
When active campaigning against the IN
dams was no longer required, the then
Colonel Woodson was placed in command
OF Fort Reno, l. r. and remained con-
tinuously in command Of that post until
relieved from active duty last spring Be
fore being placed on the retired list he
was promoted 10 the rank Of brigadier
general, and soon after his retirement
was stricken with paralysis, from which
he never recovered. General Woodson
was great lover of fine horses, especial
BY the light harness type, and while at
Fort Reno devoted considerable attention
60 the breeding Of horses of this class.
AAN was Il II lt SlDa l@lAll u anu lDNtG "
witness contest Of speed on the race
track purely Cor the purpose of deter
mining the superiority Of one horse over
another, the true test of excellence. He
enjoyed d large circle Of acauaintances
in civil life, and was universally admired
Tor his fine manly character and agree
able manner. Few army officers who
law long service in the west enjoyed
greater popularity both in civil and mill
tary life, than General Albert f. Wood
ton.
The announcement Of General Wood
son's death yesterday was a cause Of
much surprise among the many friends
General Woodson had IN Wichita. While
IN charge Of the Indian agency at Fort
Reno he made numerous and lengthy
visits TO this city and his affablity and
strong character made him many friends
g. Wichita. He was here last spring re
newing old friendships after long service
in the Philippines. He was assigned to
Fort Assinaboine. Mont. He was stricken
with paralysis while on parade a few
months ago Just after receiving notice
Of his retirement with the rank of briga-
der general He partially recovered and
some weeks after the first attack was
taken 20 his old home in Paola

or Richardson & Co. Then the officials
said that the obnoxious order would be
cancelled.
But the method employed by the rail-
road company In canoeing the order does
not meet with the entire approval OF
the grain men. They contend that the
order directed 10 conductors ordering
them not TO handle cars unless consigned
TO the Rex mills or Richardson & Co.
was given the widest circulation and IN
fact was not only given to all conductors
in wheat shipping districts but to all the
local agents as well
The method used Ia canceling this order
is effective but very slow. Whichever
a complaint is received an order is sent
by the railroad company TO the agent
al the town from which the complaint
WIS made while the original order still
is in force in many other towns in the
great wheat belt. For instance acer-
paint is received from Hutchinson, Kan.
The agent there IS notified that the or
der. has been Cancelled. But there are
eleven other towns inIthe country which
Hutchinson is located, but these towns
are not notified. and consequently the
against other than the favored
firms continues in operation not only
in the eleven other towns in Reno County
but also in the two hundred or more other
towns In Kansas that are shipping wheat.
The same condition exists in Oklahoma,
Indian territory, Texas, Missouri and the
other states and territories in which the
Santa Fe system operates. And the con-
ductors and trainmen understand that
the company has preference in the
matter, and, like good workmen, they
consider the interests of their employers
and If any cars are left behind they make
sure that they DO not include cars cen
signed to the Rex mills or Richardson &
Co.

No Bank Checks In Germany.

The Berlin correspondence of Com.

the antiquated and cumbersome meth.
or of forwarding remittances that OBJ.
tains in Germany. A check system
such as has been developed and per.
fectei as an instrument of commerce
in England is practically unused there,
payments being usually effected by
means of money orders taken out at
the local postofllCe. The English bank
exercises the double function of adjust.
ing accounts and guarding wealth,
whereas the German bank. under fav.
orablo circumstances, scarcely does
more than the latter For the German
merchant the postofice is. ia sense,
what the clearing house of the Eng.
lish banking system is for the British
business man; 1t Is an active partner
in the settlement Of differences be.
tween debtor and creditor. Yet even
under the German postal system,
whereby the amount of money or.
der Is paid at the residence of the
payee by special functionary called
the "Ge!dbrieftrager," the postoffice Is
clearly an intolerably clumsy agent for
liquidating accounts nowadaws; and
occasionally one hears a German be-
moaning the steamroller progress of
his fellow countlymen in the technics
