WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 24-The

Robert W. Rose, of the 21st Infantry,
who was tried in San Francisco before
military court for alleged insubordi-
nation and was sentenced to be rep
rimanded The part of the record
which is most interesting, is the copy
of the correspondence in which Cap
tain Rose INDUCED with his senior
officers. He was at the time of mis- al
legged offense a patient under treat
ment at the army general hospital In
San Francisco, and he addressed the
military secretary of the department
headquarters on one occasion, asking
charges, he be proceeded against in
a lawful and dignified manner" add
ing: "Tne treatment 1 am receiving
here is not only unusual and unmili-
tary but it is cruel and unnecessary,
as 1 am not sick. My health is being
destroyed by the confinement and tor
ture. If I cannot secure relief from
the military authorities, I must, per-
force, appeal to civil, as my health de-
mands it." At another time he re-
ferred to the hospital and its surround

the established boards of trade re-

Independents to secure recognition.
Cooperation and effective organiza-

bride of two days, came home from
their honeymoon yesterday and went
to their fOur-roOm fiat. Everything
was topsy-turvy, but there were to be

The bride insisted on preparing the

She was busy in the kitchen when her

WHITMAN COUNTY VISITED BY
MANY SNOW STORMS-WITH-
IN PAST WEEK.

COLFAX, JAM 24.-The Palouse
country has for the past week enjoyed
a snowfall nearly every day, and al
though the snow is not deep, still it is
perfect protection to the fall sown
grain which is in prime condition.
= Western Whitman county, which has
always been called the dry section, has
had more snow at every snowfall than
mas eastern Whitman, and the same
has been similar to the snowfall. thus
reversing the usual order of things
This has been true in regard to the
moisture ever since the fall rains be-
gan in October.
Prospects for an abundant crop of
grain were never better at this time
of the year. and as the acreage will be
larger this year than ever before, many
are predicting the largest crop known,
which to be a record breaker must be
more than 100000 bushels. With
this much grain in the county,
cent per bushel either way makes a
difference of several thousands of dol
lars to the farm IS. For this reason

in freight rates to the coast and other

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-Candy from

In the early morning carriages at
an expenditure of $125, took the wives
of the Nylics out sight seeing. A sextet
to sing parouIes on popular songs for
the entertainment of the convention at
500 a day was a feature and with a
hotel bill of about $500 a day, and a
special train to take the fortunate
men to Lakewood and back from this
city, at $4,000, the expedition will cost
the New York Life big lot of money
The main feature of the days ses-
sion was the circulation among the
Nylics of copies of a new proxy to be
passed out to policyholders. Oscar S

Mckay are named in the proxy to vote

For the company, Secretary Mccall

WILL FIGHT D|SFRANCH|sEMENT
PROMINENT NEGROES OF coUN
TRY ARE HOLDING CONFER
.ENCE IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "a
Nearly thre hundred of the most
prominent men among the negroes of
this country are assembled in this
open here this afternoon at the Met
ropolitan church. The convention has
been called for the purpose of protest
ing against the treatment accorded to
the colored race in the south and par
ticularly, against the disfranch1se-
ment of the colored voters in the
south, which has gained such Roadway
that a large majority Of the colOred
citizens of the south are already de-
prived of the right to vote. The Rev.
S. l.. Carruthers, pastor of the Sixth
Street Methodist church, the Rev. O. j.
Scott, pastor of the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal church, Professor
w w. Hart. instructor in law in How
ard university, Booker T. Washington,
and many other prominent men of the
colored race are in attendance and will
deliver addresses before the meeting,
which will probably last three days.
President Roosevelt has been invited
to address the convention, but it is
doubtful whether he will be able or
willing to do so. Among those who
have been invited to speak on the suf-
| frage question in the south before
| the convention are several United
States senators and members of con-
gress from southern states.

WAS WAITING FOR HIGH APPOINTMENT

Working in the obscure position OF
foreman of construction crew on

engineer on the Panama canal, Joseph
H. Linton, who's body lies in the

In April, 1903, startled engineers of
st. Louis and the Mississippi by pro-
posing a canal, Or series of canals to
shorten the water route from ST. Louis
to the sea by several hundred miles.
The man who, a short two years ago,
was looked upon as the coming saviour
of over 100000 acres of fertile soil
in the district south of ST. Louis, val
ued at $1,0O0,00O, 0OO was killed in an
out of the way camp near Riparia
Sunday, January IA. 1t required a
week for the officials here to fully es-
tablish his identity. He was killed
by falling rock which mis- men could
not dislodge, and which he, in a fit of
temper, leaped under to pry loose.
Unions plan of shortening the
water route south from ST. Louis was
published in full in the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat Of April IA, 1903. His
scheme was to shorten the water route
several hundred miles; allow the dang
erous flood waters to escape in one
third of the time now required; re-
claim millions of acres of overf1owed
land, lower than the flood line to the
alluvial plain, extend the draining lev
ell farther beneath the surface, coun-
teract malarial influences and furnish
channel for seagoing vessels of large
tonnage to ST. Louis.
Proposed Series of Canals,
To carry out this plan Linton pro-
posed series of canals from a point
south of Cape Girardeau, or Com
merce, Mo-, to the Atchafalya river on
the west side of the Mississippi, at an
estimated cost of 500, 100000. He was
able to show that the cutting of a
canal from the intersection of the Red
river would make the distance to the
gulf only 100 miles, while the present
river route is 375 miles. This short
ening Of the route would make the
slope nearly four times greater and
increase the erosive power by more
than Is times, which, with a straight
channel, would give the water a soil
carrying capacity 25 times greater than
it now is at New Orleans. avoiding the
securing or clogging which now COM

matter was taken up with the govern
men the papers were pigeonholed, not
withstanding $6O,OO0,0OO had already
been expended in trying to counteract
the evils Linton would remedy
Discouraged and penniless, after re-
peated efforts at recognition, Linton

FIRST DOG SHOW IN
HAWAII A BIG
SUCCESS.

HONOLULU, Sept. 1.-THE first dog
show in the Territory of Hawaii was
held last week. The list of entries
was very satisfactory and included al
most every breed of dog that can be
Of use or ornament. An inspection of
the benches revealed some really fine
CANNES. some of them as good, prob
ably. as could be found anywhere.
In the bulldog division was an ex-
hibit which had a peculiar interest,
apart FROM the canine standpoint. The
dog IS the property. of John NJ Kelly
and was IN the Wells-Fargo Office in
san Francisco, en- route TO Honolulu
from the East, when the earthquake of
april IS occurred. One Of the employees
OF the company saved the dog and took
il to Oakland, whence il was forwarded
10 its present owner.
Secretary Nredenburgh of the Amer
icsn Kennel Club said. I am very
agreesbly surprised at the showing
made with the dogs. In collies and set
ters the exhibition Is particularly
strong, and there are some good point
ers here. too I cannot say that fancy
the bulls. They seem light boned to
me, and the bull terriers are spoiled
IN the cropping, although there are
some fine bodied dogs among them. A
terriers ears should come up 10 a nee
die point, and none Of these do
have been admiring the cocker spaniels
shown here. as well as some Of the in
dividuais Of the other breeds"
