also been made for a dynamo driven by

proved so capable of adaptation to condi-

The refusal OF the War department to
recommend a pardon In the case OF a re-
Gently discharged enlisted man of the
army to remove the dishonor of deser-
ton" presents an interesting situation. The
soldier deserted from the Eighteenth in
fantry In 1886 after two years service; en-
listing under another name in 1885 in the
volunteers and continuing his service in
the regulars until last June, when he was
discharged on account of a disability con-
tracted in line OF duty. During most of
his service In the regulars he served as
a sergeant and he had a most creditable
record. He received a deserter's release
on August 80 and has now asked for a
pardon As he Is no longer liable for
trial, has not been convicted and has not
forfeited his citizenship, Il is considered
there is no occasion for an exercise Of
the pardoning power. So far as the re-
quest is for removing the dlshonor of de-
sertion, the pardon would not remove the
charge and would, in fact, confirm 1t. For
that matter. is II held that the man APP
pears to have removed the dlshonor of his
old onense by long sai exemplary service

ARMY GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON.
Current Events Cleaned from the
Army and Navy Register.

No more so-called company exchanges
will be permitted in the army and an order
to this effect. calling attention to para
graph $40 OF the army regulations, will
probably be printed FOR the guidance Of
commanding oflcers and others. Tn
authorized exchanges win be positively
forbidden. The necessity for such an
order arises from the protracted corre-
spondence In regard to the defunct COM
pany exchange Of Company NJ, Thirtieth
infantry. against which there is an unset
tied debt to the amount OF about s2S2,
claimed to be due an Omaha firm. The
history, OF the exchange is mixed up with
the transaction of Homer E Lewis,
formerly a second lieutenant and now a
convict In the Leavenworth penitentiary.
1t is finally held that this particular ex-
change was a private business enterprise,
entered into by certain officers and the
War department cannot collect and pay
over private debts due by officers; 1t was
an exchange not recognized by the gov
eminent; the company fund cannot be
drawn upon to discharge the debt and the
only thing left for the creditors Is to take
the claim into the civil courts.

In Lake and Crook counties about
a year ago 1000 sheep were dubbed
to death and poisoned within two days.
The dead bodies of the slaughtered
animals lay thick upon the grazing
lands, and swarms of buZZards hung in
the air for weeks over the scene of
the battle.
The sheepmen had held the range
tenaciously for their share of the graz
ing privilege until Uncle Sam adopt
ed the policy of leasing out, at SO much

The woman denied that she had
