these troops shall be sent by rail to
San Francisco, and carried thence in a
government transport to their destina-
ton. The transport Itself, by the way,
would not be at San Francisco to re-
ceive them were it not for the obstinate
resistance of this same department to
the plainest requirements of economy.
1t has been demonstrated over and
over again that the maintenance Of the
transport service by the government
is simply the most wasteful of all it's de-
partmental eXtravaganceS, and exists
only to save the good will of San Fran
cisco. These ships, bought originally
at several times their market value,
cost annually in repairs almost as
much as 1T would to build new ones, and
are correspondingly expensive to op-
crate. No conservative ship owner
would take the government transports
as a gift if he were compelled to run
them on business basis and pocket
the loss. 1t has been proved that all
of the governments business from Pa
cific coast ports could be done at lower
prices by private companies. The
quartermaster's department has never
theIess resisted furiOusly every attempt
to make a change that would be for
the good of all concerned, and the ad-
ministration has forced upon congress
! the retention of the transports at the
demand Of California politicians.
Now it takes the further step of set
ting aside a contract because the Re
publican capitalists of San Francisco
demand the business under threats Of
political opposition. The chapter of
government history showing it's con-
nectiOn with and it's cringing sub
servience to the forces centering at the
California metropolis is thoroughly
disgracefuI one.

CRAZED BY NURSING
HIS INSANE WIFE

LEXINGTON. Ky. April 2S.-Mr.
and Mrs. Owingtou Shock were
brought to the Eastern Kentucky luna
tic asylum in this city today from
Woodford county, having been de-
clared insane by jury in the circuit
court at Versailles on Saturday.
Twenty-Five years ago Shock was a
travelling salesman for a Philadelphia
house, and during one of his visits to
Versailles he met Miss Mary Ellen
Johnson, and eventually they were
married. Their married life was hap
by until the young wife's mind began
to give way. Then Shock was COM
PEELED to give up his position and
spend all his time in caring for her.
For twenty years the husband had
been faithful in his attentions to his
wife, and during all that time the for
tune OF his wife was being dissipated
in efforts to restore her reason.
There was no hope for her, however,
and after all these years of devotion
the mind of the husband became UNI
balanced. They both appeared before
jury on Saturday and were adJudge6l
Of unsound mind and ordered to the
local asylum.

SHE KILLED HER DOG
AND THEN HERSELF
Miss Bond Gave death Party" for Pet
and Drank CarboIic Acid.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Miss Martha
Bond, fearing that the janitor of the
Rochelle apartment house at New RO-
chelle, where she lived, would carry out
a threat to kill her pet dog Jack, shot
the animal herself and then took her
own life with carbOIic acid
Miss Bond resided with Miss Char
Iotte Carey, said to be relative of a
rich New Yorker. Miss Bond was a
bicyclist, yachtswoman and driver.
Whenever she went out on the street
her pet Scotch terrier accompanied
her.
The janitor told her Saturday that
other tenants objected to the animal,
and that unless she got rid it he would
kill it. Miss Bond grieved and finally
shot her pet in the back yard. That
night she gave what she called a death
party for Jack, at which games were
enjoyed. Suddenly she left her guests
and went to her room. The click of a
revolver was heard. Several friends
ran to her room and found her with q
loaded revolver in her hand.
poor Jack!" she said. Never mind
me; 1 am all right
few minutes later she went to the
bathroom and swallowed two ounces Of
carbolic acid. She died in agony

A JUNkET RESTRAINED.

Inc dcC1On OF the attorney general
Of this state, disappearing the pro-
posed encampment of the state mill
tia at st. Louis, is entirely to be com
mended. The proposition ought not to
have been considered for a moment,
and was thoroughly distasteful to most
Of those who have the interest of the
militia close at heart and are familiar
with what would benefit and what in
jure it.
The purpose Of summer encamp-
ment for the militia forces is practi-
cal. It is intended that at this time
men who otherwise are unfamiliar
with the practical side of the art of
war shall learn of it's details by actual
experience. They get a taste of what
field service would be like, are subject
to the daily routine of camp life and
are thereby better prepared in all re-
spects for the rigorous life of the SOL
der in war time. For this reason only
is the expenditure of money for these
encampments at all justified, and foc
this reason only does the militiaman
who is honest and earnest about his
duties wish to spend some weeks of
the season in camp.
The proposition to hold an encamp-
ment Of strictly state forces for the
purposes described at the st. Louis ex-
position was most farcical. It was like
the appointment of congressional COM
mittees to visit Alaska, the Philippines
and other out Of the way places where
delightful outings may be had at the
public expense. 1t was, of course, per-
fectly well understood that the ordi-
nary and authorized purpose of the
summer encampment would not be
served, but defeated, by such action.
If the plan were carried through, the
militia would go to ST. Louis simply
as a pleasant summer excursion to see
the fair. 1t would cost very large
sum of money, the discipline and la
bors of camp life could not possibly be
preserved in such surroundings, and
the forces Of the state would be car
ried outside the state at the expense
of the state to perform duties relating
wholly to the service of the state No
man should ever have proposed such
thing seriously, and no legislature
should have ever even seemed to sane
ton it. 1t is distinctly good fortune for
the national guard that a valid reason
seems to have been found for vetoing
this costly and improbable plan.

STRANGE WORDS FOR A JAP.

LAO YANG, April 28.-Maj. Togo
Tatzozero, a member of the general
staff of the Japanese army, who is a
prisoner here, having been captured at
Wi-ju, said today:
The Russians will be driven as far as
BaIkaL Further than that we do not
wish to go, but We will return to Man
churia and open it to the trade of the
world. Our people are certain that they
can beat the Russians. but 1 think we
began hoStilitieS too soon. We were not
prepared for so serious a war Japan
wishes above everything else to COM
mand the sea and she will then be free
from fear of invasion and loss of terri
tory. With the complete destruction of
the Russian fleet we believe the war viii
end. Japan's alliance with Great Britain
was stupid act, and it will be of no
service to us.
We know perfectly well that the Amer
leans We're never our friends because in
the far East they were always our OPP
ponents We are afraid that if Japan
is victorious the British and the Amer
leans only will benefit. It would be fool
1Sh for Japan to ally herself with the
United States. because the Americans do
not intend to help us, but rather wish to
exploit us

FLOOR OF CHURCH
FALLS Alta FUNERAL
Two Hundred Persons Precipitated Into
Basement, but No Fatalities Result.

WOOSTER, Ohio, April .28-During
q funeral at Seville, fifteen miles north
OF this city, panic occurred this aft
ernoOn when the floor of the church
gave way, precipitating the entire con-
gregation into the cellar. The funeral
ceremonies were being conducted over
the body of Herbert Secrest, and the
little church building was crowded.
While the pastor was in the midst of
his eulogy of the deceased the floor
suddenly gave way, and all present,
numbering at least 200, fell to the floor
OF the basement, 10 feet below.
Many of the congregation were
bruised by the fall, and those in the
vicinity of the casket when the floor
gave way We're thrown into a panic.
All were finally rescued, some being
severely hurt in the scramble to get
away, but there were no fatalities.
