ARMY FOR POOR LO
Carlisle Indian School Prepares
to Train Pupils for the
Service.
ROOSEVELT APPROVES PLAN
Experience in Past Shows Red Man
Does Well in War But is
Restless in Peace.

Washington, Feb. G.-Indian Com
missioner Francis L. Leupp has decid-
ed to inaugurate military system of
training at the Carlisle Indian school
so as to qualify the Indians for service
as privates in the regular army.
For some time Commissioner Leupp
has been imbued with the idea that
the time has come to do something
more toward breaking up the tribal
relations of Indians, and he believes
the plan which he proposes to adopt
is a capital one He fully appreciates
the great value of military training.
and if he is successful in carrying ouJ
mis- scheme the Carlisle Indian school
will be transformed into another West
Point. the only difference being that
this institution will turn out men
equipped to serve in the ranks. while
the West Point academy supplies Off

President IndOrses scheme.
The new commissioner has discuss
ed his plan with President Roosevelt,
who has indorsed it heartily. 1t will
not be necessary. according to the be
lief of the commissioner, to ask per
mission of congress TO change the
character of the Indian school at Car
Isle. as he believes he has ample au-
thOrity under the present law to con-
duct the school in such a way as to
bring about the best results and to
provide for the welfare of the young
Indians
Some years ago the government at
tempted TO make soldiers of older In
dians. and for a long time the scheme
worked admirably AS long al there
was work in the field for Indians to
do they made excellent soldiers. The
Indian naturally is fond of warfare.
and as long as he was given an oppor-
tunity TO follow his bent he gave the
military authorities no trouble what
ever and made a model soldier, being
amenable to discipline and was appar-
emily satisfied with his lot
Not "A Pence soldier.
After the fighting was over how
ever. army life palled on Poor Lo, and
as soon as he was required TO go into
camp and to perform the ordinary and
monotonous duties of the garrison he
rebeued against authority. deserted
from the army and made all sorts OF
trouble for his superiors. In fact, he
became so rsubOrdinate that it was
necessary TO eliminate him from the
army.

noticeable diminution of confidence in
British circles connected with the case
and a corresponding elation on the

Russia Makes Good Case.
The French press. which is strongly
pro-Russian, gives marked prominence
to the statement that the Russians had
virtually won their case, the usually
conservative Temps and Journal as
serting positively that the majority of
the court now favors the Russian the
ory that torpedo boats attacked Ro-

Opinions Seem to Differ.
However. inquiry in well informed
quarters does not show any real basis
for these reports. On the contrary, in
timations are made that the tendency
within the court is rather in the op-
posite direction.

Rockford, Feb. G.-The demise of Or
velle II. Partch, former county treas
urer and universally respected citizen,
recalls a sad romance of his early life.
1t was rather a tragedy, and it was one
of the burdens which he endured with
fortitude during his career.
This tragedy is concealed under the
mere statement that his wife went
violently insane shortly after they were
married and has been confined in the
Elgin asylum ever since without hope
of recovery.
Mr. Partch met his wife at Durand,
where she had come ostensibly for a
visit. but really because she had been
sent there from the east by her par
ents TO break up a love affair of which
they did not approve. Before leaving
the girl and her lover had promised to
write one another She wrote a num-
ber of letters, but receiving no reply
thought she had been forgotten by her
former lover.

that he had written her many letters
that had never been answered. Thus
it was learned that their love missives
to each other had been intercepted in
some manner by the young woman's

brooded over the matter, and within

Obituary

Maggie Russell Wade was born
March 4, 1885, died July q, 1905.
She was a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. B. Russell; of Watson,
KY. She and w. H. Wade were
married August "a, 1902. She
leaves one child, a little fair
haired girl.
The last eighteen months Of
her life was spent on the bed OF
affliction. Her brain was affect
ed and her case was incurable.
For months before she died her
hearing and sight were destroy
ed. Through all her suffering
she never complained, for she
put her trust in the Savior many
months ago. Three weeks be-
fore she died she told her mother
she hoped they would all meet
her in the Summer Land of
Love-. She is beyond the fever
and the pain, sorrow and the tu-
mutt of this world, and is sleep
ing near where she so often play
ed when a girl, and where she
was borne by loving relatives and
friends as the sun was sinking
in the West the eve of the day
after she died.
Happy rest, how peaceful,
tranquil, satisfying!
How gently it seems to round
and smooth the turmoil of a life,
which, though short, was full of
bitter SORROWS and cares.
She rests in a quiet spot where
the meadow grass shall soon
grow above her head, where the
stars and the skies shall bend
quietly over her still. By one
who knew her worth.

When oft into the forest then
To hunt for squirrels bent

But how happy were the days I've spent
Among those Old Kentucky hills.
