siOns and Betterments.

General Greedy, chief OF the signal
corps OF the army, has just completed
"A thorough inspection OF the Alaskan

crease in commercial business han
died by the lines gives an indication OF
the growing Importance OF Alaskan
trade.
In the past two months telegraph
tolls on commercial business have
amounted to more than $432, 900,
while the cost OF government business
on the lines during this time exceeded
100000. Many thousand code words
were transmitted during the ! 5 months
the wireless system in Alaska has
been operated without a single error.
The competition between govern
mental. commercial and press business
on the Alaskan lines has developed to
the point where a new system TO ex-
pedite business has been demanded.
General Greely was impressed with
the necessity OF improving the quar-
ters of the men in charge OF the Alas
kan lines and will take this matter up
at once. This work is attended with
many hardships, but the record of the
men on duty there is regarded as ex-
ceptionally good,

mans renewed his attack on the medi-
cal section of the war department in
paper today.
He reriiewed the Japanese victories
and contrasted the preparedness Of
Japan with the lack OF prepare dness

period He declared the medical men
of Japan's army won the victory. He
said diseases are not guessed at by the
Japs as they were in Cuba, the Philip
pines and South Africa.
He concluded by declaring that un-
til the American line officers are
taught the necessity Of sanitation and
medical officers are given rank and
authority to enforce their rulings. the

initiating failure.

Cleveland, Sept. 2s.-Secretary
Shaw addressed the Ohio Bankers as
sociation this afternoon and proposed
remedy for our non-elasticity cur
rency.
None of the suggested remedies
appeal to me as strongly as the auth
orization of additional national bank
circulation. This method involves the
right of national banks to increase
their circulation to any amount, say
so per cent of the outstanding volume
of the government bond circulation.
upon which the banks should pay a
tax of or 6 per cent during it's main
tainance. The government, in con-
sderation of this tax, to guarantee re-
demption. This to be used in case of
an emergency.
This method would disarrange
nothing, because it would put no new
kind of currency into circulation, and
when necessary, could be removed by
being redeemed, and few would ever
realize IL had been done"

cerely hoped at the fort that the prob
lem has been solved.
There are few regiments in the
army which have already been equip
ped with the olive-drab uniform. the
vast majority are still wearing the
old style cotton khaki service uniform
during the summer season.

Moses Taylor, the Athena farmer
who was convicted last June of having
attempted to commit arson. was SEN
fenced this morning by Judge Ellis to
serve two and one-half years in the
penitentiary, which sentence is the
minimum for that crime.
The case was brought into court
this morning when Judge Ellis gave
his decision on the motion that had
been made by the attorneys for the
defense asking that a new trial be
granted, This motion was filed during
August, but was not decided upon un-
I'll this morning. After listening to the
arguments of District Attorney Phelps
against the motion, and to those by
Col. Raley i'm its behalf, Judge Ellis
declared the motion overruled and inn
posed the above sentence upon the de-
fendant.
After the sentence had been imposed
upon his client, Colonel Raley filed
notice of appeal to the supreme court,
and the fight will be continued at the
session of that body. which will be
held here in November.

while waiting for the supreme court
to pass upon his case for writ of

neys by Judge Ellis, thus securing a
suspension of his sentence while await
ing the action of the higher court.
E. w. Perry, who was held for hav-
ing helped rob man in the rear OF
the Murrel saloon, pleaded guilty to
the charge and was given an indeter-
inmate sentence in the penitentiary.

James Dolan, who We're held for re-
ceiving stolen property, were dismiss
ed, as the prosecuting witnesses could
not be found.

cepted the earnings of prostitute,
