SHE MARRIED HER PUPIL.
Romance of Former Matron OF Re
form school

Something of sensation has been caus-
cd by the announcement that Mrs. Emma
Bailey, until recently matron of the girls
cottage at the state reform school at
Plankinton. has been married to NJ.
Barnes. a young man who was committed
to the reform school some time ago. and
who was released from that institution
only last June. The marriage took place
at Britton, Marshall County. The groom
and his bride will make their home in
that vicinity.

This is total net decrease of the
regular army during the year of 800.
These figures do not include 3,02J en-
listed men Of the hospital corps, who,
under the act of March 1, 1887, are not
to be counted as part of the enlisted
strength of the regular army.
There were also in the service % oiil-
GERS and 5J2 enlisted men of the Porto
Rico regiment and 115 officers and 5,059
enlisted Philippine scouts. This is u net
increase of Z in the Porto Rico regi-
ment and of 1,096 in the philippine
scouts.
Secretary Taft urges an increase in
the seacoast artillery by 5000 men, with
the necessary complement of officers. He
says the expenses will be $3,0o0000 per
annum. He does not, however, recon-
mend a reduction in the cavalry force.
He says:
II am firmly convinced of the wisdom
of providing more men for the coast ar
tillery. Our seacoast Notifications, con-
structed at such heavy expense, ought
not to he left as they are now, without
the number of men to properly handle
and operate the heavy guns, with their
complicated mechanism and extensive ac-
cessories. and to give them the degree Of
care that is necessary in order to main
tain these elaborate defensive works in
the proper condition of preservation and
efficiency"
Secretary Taft reviews the progress
made in the construction of seacoast for
tifications. Up to the present time there
have been emplaced 101 twelye-inch
guns, 1l9 ten-inch, o. eight-inch, 367
twelve-inch mortars, and 231 rapid fire
guns. Eighty per cent of the work Of
fertilization planned by the Endicott
board in 1886 has been completed.

United States. He says such Il line.
from Tampa. via Guantanamo to Pan
anna, would cost $1.000,000. If extended
to Porto Rico the line would cost $500 :

Secretary Taft reviews the work on
the Panama canal at length. the sub
stance of this part of his report al
ready having been made public.
The Secretary asks Congress to appro-
pirate for the expense of the army and

Injustice to Memory of Man Who
Was Found Dead.

A Sioux Falls special says: The ease
with which regulations are blasted by
thoughtless persons. who jump at con
illusions, is illustrated by the case of Her
man Luckow, Il prominent farmer whose
home was in Day County, and who met
a tragic death a few days ago.
L-uckow's body was found on public
highway, and the fact that bottle of
whisky was found on his person started
the report that he had met his death by
freezing while in Il state of intOXicatiOn.

Harris for Regulation.

Washington, May 5.-Ex-Senator
w. A. Harris, of Kansas, represent
ing the National Live Stock Associ-
ton, the Breeders Association, the
Shorthorn Breeders Association and
other cattle interests appeared be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mittee yesterday. Senator Harris
is the first person to speak for the
shipping interests of the country be-
fore the committee. Before the dav
was over W. B. Biddle, traffic man
ager for she Chicago Rock Island &
Pacific Rail road Company, in reply
to Senator Harris asserted that no
cattle rates were too high; that this
class of business did not pay it's
share of the cost of transportation,
and made the usual statement, that
generally speaking cattle rates were
too low.
In the last five years Senator Har-
rls said the Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fla, the Burlington and the Rock
Island had advanced rates from the
Southwestern points. A resort to
the courts for the adjustment of
these rates had been unsatisfactory.
The interstate commerce commits
sloner had case before them but
had not been given a decision.
Even if they found the rates were
unreasonable, any benefit under ex-
listing conditions to shippers would
be remote. The cost of transport
ing cattle had increased very materi-
ally and shippers we're met with the
statement that the railroad compan-
les did not want the cattle business.
This assertion Senator Harris did
not believe was born out by the
facts. All that the cattle interests
demand, said Senator Harris, was
tribunal which could hear both ship
pers and the railroads and have
authority to establish rates.
Senator Elkins. referred to the adj
vance in the price of meats and ask
ed Senator Harris whether he would
want a commission authorized to fix
the price.
al would like first to see the re-
suits of the governments investiga-
ton before answering that question"
answered Senator Harris.
"Would you like to see COM
mission fix your rates if you were in
the railroad business1" asked Sena-
tor Elkins.
ssMy idea is" answered Senator
Harris, ''that man who goes into
