GEN. KING PRAISES MILITIA.
Finds Few Things at Fault in Various
Wisconsin Companies.

Finds Few Things at Fault in Various
Wisconsin Companies.
Adjt Gen. Boardman has issued cir
cular No. containing extracts from
the report of Gen. Charles King on
his personal inspection of the Wiscon-
sin national guard.
The inspecting officer reports that
ton and discipline there was improve
ment in nearly every company over
that of last year. Extracts of Gen.
Kings report made public by the adju'
tant general are as follows:
81 have the honor to report compile
tion of the duties assigned me in con-
uection with the annual inspection OF
the organized militia of Wisconsin,
and it is a pleasure to record the fact
that in attendance, instruction and dis
cipline there is improvement in nearly
every unit of the entire force. The
individual bearing or set up of officers
and men, though not yet what it
should be, is also better. I found not
, to exceed six men whom deemed
physically unfit for hard service, or
likely to be rejected by expert exam
liners. Officers and men impressed
me as being hardy and vigorous in
physique and, as a rule, jealous and
thoroughly reliable
can effort was made to give each
company some idea Of the faults in
drill observed during inspection, great
or small, and to this in almost every
case every man paid close attention.
While few companies were poor in
drill, certain faults or flaws were OBJ
served in almost all-nOtably in the
matter of flinching from pivot, in
changing direction in column squads,
In dropping head and dropping eyes,
swinging arms, and in the salutes.
These points cannot be too carefully
corrected as they occur.
THE hospital corps was found to
have no shelter tents. Arms Of lie
cavalry and infantry were we'll cared
for in most cases, though a few pieces
were found cooked in many of the arm
racks. Equipments, as rule, were
clean and properly worn, but have a
tendency to work to the front instead
of the back of the hip. Khaki uni
forms are serviceable, but in too many
cases looked as though carelessly
washed and ironed. Belts were gener-
ally clean, but in most companies were
worn much too loose.
"The men were commercially steady
both during inspection and drill, and
the command, even among weak COM
panies, looked eminently fit for SER
vice"
This inspection will be supplement-
ed by another at Camp Douglas dur
ing the regular annual encampment
from July to 81, the Third regiment
and Tenth separate battalion going
into camp first, the First regiment,
battery and Second troop and the Sec.
ond regimnt last-W.

Dr David Jayne Hill, American minister to the Hague. who was for many years connected with the state department in Washington, Is back in the city. He is a member of the com mission on citizenship, which will consider changes in the naturalization laws of the United States. The doe Urine of repatriation has not been agreed to by the European govern ments and to this fact is due the trou- ble into which many naturallzed American citizens get themselves when returning to their old homes and claiming the protection of the United States. This commission will hold several meetings at the state de- partment within the next few weeks at which efforts will be made by this government to secure new treaties that will recognize the right of cltl- zen or subject to change his allegiance if he desires.

Washington people are wearing their faces wreathed in smiles these days says a writer of that place. and with good cause for never has the season opened more auspiciously. Usually Washington Is sOmnnlent during the summer when congress is not in session and especially so just preceding a national election. This year things are different. and the con ditlon of the hotels is significant of the growing importance of the capital of the nation. This week the annual encampment of the United spanish war veterans Is in session. there Is a convention of old time stenographers and the annual meeting of the whole sale druggists. a hundred railroad men are here attending the session of the interstate commerce commission and these visitors are reinforced by hundreds of tourists. The weather in autumn in Washington Is usually ideal The trees still preserve their foliage and the skies are clear. while the air Is cool and invigorating. The fall races will be here soon and after that a short busy session of congress. The hotel season is well under way and from now on the hotel corridors will be well filled.

LAuDs AMERICAN WOMEN.
Their Dash, Style and Strenuosity IF
 resistibIe. Says Mrs T. F. O'Connor.

Mrs O'Connor. wife of T. r. O'Con. nor. NJ. r. pays this tribute to the American woman:
 Beauty that Is at once delicate and bewitching. delightful strenu- osity and dashing style. are the winning combinations that character ize the American woman and make her irresistible.
 "The American woman is more in- dependent. more healthful and has a more stylish taste for dress and home furnishing than the English woman"
 Ii is hut fair to the English wo- men to say that Mrs O'Connor was born in America. Continuing she said:
 The American girl of seventeen is simply lovely. No other girl on any continent can boast Of such q delicate beauty.
 "The American woman's Is more independent and more healthful than the London woman suppose that is because the American girl gets out in the world and struggles for her self. It is the same in every Ameri- can city. notice the girls full of life and hustle. They do not appear to ie at ease unless they are doing something.
 -It takes time to give an English woman taste in dress You Ameri- cans adopt the styles instinctivesy as they appear"

WINS GoRGING CONTEST; DIES.
Champion Cheese Eater Pays With ! Life for Pound-at-T Time Record.


 Frank Miller, aged 21, proved that he could eat more cheese than any other cheese lover in Johnsburg. Ill, and then he died. Fred Justen proved that he could eat almost as much of the limberger variety as Miller. He probably will die. Jake Brayfield made poor showing as cheese consumer and he is only desperately sick.
 Such is the result of a contest that ended many nights of taproom argu- ment in Johnsburg. Miller's capacity for cheese was household proverb in the village and Justen was envi- ous. Brayfield also thought he might be in it if there was any way of settling the dispute.
 Charlie Smith, who presides over the Johnsburg taproom, and had been arbiter in the nightly argument, had a brilliant idea. Why not con- test, he suggested. He'd provide the cheese, the rivals and their packers to furnish their own beer. So it was arranged. Wagers were made. Friends of the three men bet be- tween themselves, reekTessfy for Johnsburg, the youth of the country for miles around entered into the spirit of the thing. and the taproom ordered plentiful supply of beer.
 When the contest was held each man had his own table, on which was set pound slab of limberger. Time keepers and weighers were named, the audience gathered around the tables. and at signal the rival cheese eaters fell to. Brayfield quit while yet about third of his slab remained Justen went a little for ther. Miller. to make victory cer- tain. struggled through to the crumbs and was carried away while his friends cheered.
 Next day all three were in the hands of physicians. Miller's case was the worst. It looked like appen- dicitis to the doctors, and they op- erated. The operation did no good, and he died next morning. It was only after his. death that the doctors learned of the cheese eating contest
 More heroic remedies were resort ed to in the cases of Justen and Brayfield. The latter Is out of dan. ger. but Justen's recovery still is doubtful.

Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1906-11-02

The mountain has labored and
brought forth a mouse. Mr.. Charles
P. Light an erstwhile Democrat, who
f,r reasons satisfactory to himself has
Joined the Elkins-Dawson machine
has been laboring for some time search
ing the records and has therefore, we
presume as he claims, tabulated there
from, list of taxpayers in Hedgesville
district whose taxes are less this year
than in 1904 on real estate. He how
ever neglected TO give the names of
any whose taxes are more. He has
shown no little cunning in taking
Hedgesville district. Hedgesville, dis
trict, excepting Martinsburg, has more
railroad property in it than any other
district in the county, and his figures
when applied to district like Ger
ardstown falls to the ground. He ac-
knowiedges in his circular that He'd
gesville district pay 1886 more than
in 1904 and thus earrotorates the Dem
ocratic contt that there Is to be
more money raised under the new law.
That was the aim and object of the
Dawson tax law, as stated by ex Gt "
ernor A. B. White, there must be mt re
money raised to run the state. Mr..
Light makes big flourish of the fact
that the state levy has been reduced to
one third of what it was in 1904, and
why should it not be? The increase of
the valuation of property by the as
SCISSOR has on an average more than
doubled and will yield nearly as much
under the new levy as under the old
besides there has been thrown back
upon the counties hundreds of tn u.s.
ands of dollars to pay watch was fsl-
merly paid by the, State. But say our
friends the corporations are assessed at
so much higher values that they are
paying the bulk of the taxes. Well
what of it? Why have they not been
paying it before. Governor Dawson
and his tax reformers have been as
sessing the railroads and they had the
legal power and were required to asses
the railroads at their values without
putting the farmers lands up SO out
ragously. They ask for an endorse
ment for obeying the law, the voters
ought to rebuke them for not doing
their duty before. We lay down this
proposition which the fakirs cannot
and that is If the values are
equal as they claim and there is S2596
more paid in Hedgesville district than
in 1904 they are still making even those
who pay lees this year, pay more taxes
than they ought.
