the title Of commander in chief. II Is
this impending reorganization watch
seems to have led to countless rumors
and reports afioat here OF Kuropatkin's
suppression of Viceroy Alexieff as
commander In chief of the army, the
latter's resignation, etc, but the AS
ISOLATED Press Investigations indicate
that the above is the real situation.
The Associated Press is informed that
Alexieff win continue to be viceroy.
Nevertheless, the Associated Press is
informed Kuropatkin will virtually be
in complete, untrammeled command
AS has been heretofore stated on high
authority. the stories Of Alexieffs in
reference with Kuropatkin are entire
ly without foundation. On the con-
trary, Alexieff has always shown the
utmost appreciation of the peculiar
delicacy OF his position as Kuropatkin's
superior. studiously avoiding even the
semblance Of interference with the op-
erations OF the Manchurian army.
The Associated Press is authorized
again to deny absolutely the story that
Rear Admiral Prince ouktomsky has
been court martialed. 1t is positively
stated that he has never been under ar
.est at Port Arthur and that there has
never been a question of his trial by
'ourt martial. He has simply been
by Rear Admiral Wren in
ne temporary command Of the Pcct
Arthur squadron. ~
The latest dispatches received by the
var Office here leave the situation at
he front practically unchanged.

Robson. which represents work ex-

cereal foods. says Cleveland Inland
Grocer. Prof. Robson arrives az The
following conclusions:
The breakfast foods are legitimate

Ing with their nutritive values.
They contain, as a rule, consldera-
BILE fiber, which, while probably rem
dering them less digestlble, at the
same time may render them more
wholesome TO the average person.
The claims made for many of them
are not warranted by the facts.
The claim that they are far more
nutricious than the wheat and grains
from which they are made is not sub
stantiated,
They ore palataolc. as a rule, and

The digestibIllty Of these products as
with highly milled foods,
while probably favorable to the latter
does not give due credit to the former
because OF the healthful influence of

Rolled oats or oatmeal as source

a Fort RiIer SHOOTING.

Junction City, Kan, Dec. 12.-Sat-
urday Private Phillip of the Ninth
cavalry, a negro soldier, and Private
Needl of the Eleventh cavalry, white
soldier, were shot by an unknown
white soldier from Fort Riley. The
shooting of Phillips was intentional,
but the shooting of Needl was acct
dental. The negro soldier visited re-
sort where several white soldiers had
preceded him and as soon as he en-
tered some one fired on him. He was
struck in the leg. Several arrests have
been made. This is the first trouble
the soldiers have had here on pay day
for nearly a year. Last summer
provost guard was given to the city
on pay days at the post, but since the
change of commandments the guard
was withdrawn and this shooting affair
occurred on the first day of its alb
scence.
Robert T Madden of troop I, Eighth
cavalry, was arrested at Fort Riley
and brought here last evening, charged
with having shot Phillips a private of
the Ninth cavalry, and Needl, pri-
vate of the Eleventh cavalry. To the
county attorney and Sheriff Madden
he made a full confession. Phillips,
the negro soldier, is still living, al
though his intestines were punctured
in five places. He will die. NeediS
wound is not dangerous.

Attention. Farmers.

Why remain in the north and stav
indoors six months in the year con-
Stunning what you raise during the
other six months?
Go south where you can work ont
doors every month in the year, and
where you are producing something
the year round. If you are a stock
raiser you know your stock are now
"eating their heads off" and, besides.
have to be protected from the rtRors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding REQUIRES
the combination of both flesh formine
and fat forming foods in certain pro
portions. Alabama and Florida pro-
duce in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh producer
and the latter a fat producer. and
they are the cheapest and best Satten-
ing materials known to the world.
More money can be made and with
