 Judge Butt has submitted for the action of the county court a bill against Carroll county for S5S50 costs of hold ing inquest and funeral expenses in- ~curred on account of the body of a man picked up by the railroad company and brought here three weeks age, supposed to be that of William Craig, whose residence could not be located. Of this sum $5050 is asked for as fees for act ing coroner, jurors and witnesses; $t5.00 for a coffin and s for clothing. Judge Butt made no charge for having em- balmed the body or for the use of his hearse. The bill is certainly very reasonable since the body was we'll cared for and decently put away. The court will certainly find no objections to the allowance of this account.

HERR BEBEL SCORES
THE ARMY OFFICERS
Socialist Leader Declares Present
System of Maneuvers Is Useless
Minister of War Replies.

BERLIN, March 4-The feature in the
Reichstag to-day was the long speeches by
Herr Bebel the Socialist leader, and Cen
eral Won Einem, minister of war, on mill
tary matters. Herr Bebel criticised sharply
various conditions in the army and quoted
military writer's in support Of his views.
He maintained that the present system of
army maneuvers was useless, and cited a
military writer who had said that If the
army was led in the next war as il was
during the last maneuvers attended by the
Emperor the defeat of Germany would be
unavoidable Drill. he said. is a mere prep
aration for parade display; there is too
much luxury in the army, and the frequent
changes of uniform tend to increase this
luxury.
Herr BebeI referred to the maltreatment
OF soldiers and asserted that practically
nothing was done to prevent this.
General Won Einem denied that the Ger
man maneuvers were worthless and stated
that Lord Kitchener was introducing sim
liar maneuvers into the Indians as result
of the experience gained at the battle of
Omdurman.

SITE FOR LAKE NAVAL
STATION IS DISCUSSED
Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin Sen
atorS in Sharp Debate-lndi-
ana Senators Speak.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED

WASHINGTON, March 4.-PracticaIly the
to consideration of the question of the
selection of site for a naval training sta
ton on the great lakes Most of the sem
atOrs from States bordering on the lakes
participated in the discussion. The con-
troversy arose over an effort TO secure as
an amendment to the committee amendment
a provision authorizing the appointment of
a new commission TO select site. This
amendment was offered by Mr.. Quarles and
its origin was due to the fact that former
commission had given preference to Lake
Bluff. in Illinois. The principal speakers
were Messrs. Quarles and Spooner, who
presented the advantages of Racine, Wis {:
Mr.. Hopkins. who spoke for Lake Bluff,
and Mr.. Foraker, whose contentious were
in the interest of Putin Bay, o. Mr..
Fairbanks and Mr.. Beveridge. of Indiana,
also participated The committee amend
ment was so modified as to make it apply
to all the great lakes and not alone to Lake
Michigan, but Mr.. Quarles's amendment
was not acted on and will be considered
tomorrow.
In the course of the debate Mr.. Foraker,
speaking of Putin Bay said that point
needed no Improvement, il has good
harbor now and one capable of accommo-
datlnR all the navy we VIII ever have on
the lakes. He did not believe a harbor
could be made at Lake Bluff for 100000.
Mr.. Spooner said sarcastically that as
Lake Bluff was near Chicago no harbor
Lake Bluff has as good a harbor as
Racine" said Mr. Hopkins. replying to Mr..
How about Putin Bay?" asked Mr..
Foraker.
"Oh." responded Mr. Hopkins, putin
Bay has been put out of the question by the
naval boards report"
At the request of several senator's Mr.
Quarles temporarily withdrew his amend
ment TO permit Mr.. Foraker to suggest a
so as to make appropriation apply to a sta
ton the great lakes instead of to Lake
Michigan alone. That amendment was
agreed to and Mr.. Quarles renewed his
amendment.
Mr.. Fairbanks supported the amendment,
expressing his preference for Michigan
City, Ind, on the ground that it was nearer
the Atlantic seabOard than any of the
other cities on Lake Michigan, and Mr..
Beverage also spoke for Michigan City.
Mr.. Hale sought to secure a vote on the
amendment, but Mr. German pleaded that
the matter go over I'VE are not pressed
for time" he said; 1T is only the beginning
of March and the bill will not go into eff
feet until July"
In reply TO Mr.. Hale he said he had no
thought of securing delay merely for the
sake of delay. His only object was to
secure thorough discussion and he did not
doubt that a vote would be secured to-
morrow. Mr.. Hale yielded and the Senate,
at D p. m. went into executive session and
adjourned five minutes later.

day had under consideration the Indian APP
preparation bill, the reading of which. for
the purpose of amendment, was pending on
adjournment During the general debate on
the BILL Mr.. Martin, (Rep), of South Da-
kota. addressed the House on his resolution
directing the secretary of Commerce and
Labor to investigate the causes of the diff
ference which exists between the cost of live
and dressed beef. He prefaced his state
ments with a high tribute TO Attorney Gen
eral Knox and by saying that he was not
one who went into Mysteries on hearing the
word trust. But while this was true. he
believed that a monopoly exists in one OF
the big food products which should be in
vestigated by the Department of Commerce
and Labor. He asserted that so far as
the rights of the producer and consumer are
concerned. they are even worse than before
the injunction was secured against the beef
concerns. He opposed a repeal of the for
fixture clause in the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Martin related the experiences OF
stockmen in their efforts to dispose of their
stock on the Chicago market. One, he men
toned, received a bid OIL a trainload of
stock at South Omaha. He did not accept

some one after he had refused the bid. When
he reached Chicago he could get no other
bid than the precise one made at South
Omaha. He determined not to sell and had
to wait for some time until finally he ac-
copied the bid of an independent packer of
Indiana.
Mr.. Stanley, Dem.). of Kentucky, made
an urgent appeal for relief at the
hands of Congress for the tobacco growers
and the toilers in the tobacco fields and

ing the general debate on the Indian bill, de-
