SIMPSON UPSETS 1T.
Reorganizes Office Force and Lets Out
Burton Men.

J. NJ. Simpson, internal revenue col
Iector has announced the dismissal
from his Office force of three rampant
"Burton-Curtis'' men who have been
on his staff for some time He de-
cided that starting with his new sec
ond term he wanted more congenial
surroundings.
The ak first fell on the head of G..
S. Pottle, Of Butler county, who was
removed and Fred ]. Kell, of McPher-
son, Mr. Simpsons own home, was
appointed in his place. The place
pays $1,000 a year and is known as
an Office deputy. Mr. Pottle belongs
to the minority faction in Butler
county, and was at one time candi-
date for a state Office. but failed to Sc
cure the delegation from his own
county.
The second man to lose his place
was George W. Jones, of Linn county
c. L. Banner, of Wilson, Ellsworth
county, being appointed in his stead
This place pays $1,100 year.
Mr.. Trickett, of Kansas City, Kas.,
was removed from the position of
stamp clerk at that place and J. B.
Nipple of the same city was appointed
to the place. This position pays a
salary of $1,000 a year. The stamp
clerk at Kansas City, Kas, has charge
of the sale of revenue stamps to the
packing houses, and runs a branch
from the main revenue Office there.
Mr.. Trickett is one of the well known
factional leaders of Wyandotte county
and it is presumed that Mr.. Nipple is
a member of the opposing faction.
Mr.. Simpson was asked about the
changes and he said there was no pol
itics in them, and they were all made
for the good of the service. He said
he thought the time to make a few
changes was at the beginning of his
new term of Office and he felt that he
had secured the services of expert ac-
countants and clerks who would per-
form their duties in a satisfactory
manner to the public.

GENERAL REVOLUTION RUMoRED
Junta Said to Re Collecting Funds for Uprising.


 Uprising.
 New Orleans. Sept 5.-The existence of an alleged Junta, which is said to be collecting funds and supplies for a revolution to be started simultaneously about November 1 in the i've Central American republics, Costa Rica, Hon. duras, Salvador, Nicaragua and Guate- mala, was announced here today
 Don Angel UgarteL who says he is cousin of Policarpo Bonilla, brother of the President of Honduras, said in an interview:
 'T am informed that there is to be a general uprising in the five repub- lies. My mission is to collect funds for a revolution in Honduras, where Policarpo Bonilla, my cousin, will lead the insurgent forces. The people of the five republics in Central America are all dissatisfied with their rulers" Ugartel added that he believed an attempt at revolution in Salvador wilt be failure. but that he hopes for sue cess in the other republics. Ugartel came here few days ago from Mobile. and in the hotel at which he is stop ping there have since been several con- ferenees of men from Central American republics. So persistent have the re ports about such a junta become that Tobias Zuniga. who was temporarily exiled from Costa Rica about a year ago. after being defeated as a candi- date for President today took occasion to deny publicly that he has any con- nection with the alleged revolutionary movement. His name had been con Inected with the reports because he Is on the point of going to Bluefields 1 Nicaragua.

SOLDIERS DISSATISFIED.
Think Long Practice Marches ars
 Wastes of Energy.


 Washington, Sept. 5.-Long marches in the infantry branch of the army. as provided for in recent orders pertain ing to annual camps Of instruction are disapproved by Brigadier-General Wii- ham s. McCaskey. commanding the Southwestern division, in his annual re- port to the War Department. The re- cent orders, he says, will have a. de- c'ded and disastrous effect upon re- enlistments. Commenting upon the general dissatisfaction. General Mo Caskey says:
 'The practice marches as now or dered and the prospect of a repetition of this summers long encampments and the extended marches incident thereto are looked upon as an unnecessary hardship. American soldiers are think | ing men and reason to the effect that while any hardship that is necessary will be endured those not necessary will be evaded.
 T am of the opinion that camps Of Instruction. as TOW conducted, are too | long in duration. Three weeks in camI should be sufficient Marches should o' | less than 100 miles; anything beYonc this is unnecessary and is dlsapprovet ot by the majority of officers and meT whom I have interviewed on the sub l ject"
