The total number of admissions to

1,S33.11 for the septennial period
1898 to 1904.
There were 35S deaths from all

6.2s and 14.02 per 1000, the corre-
spending rates for the previous year
and the period from 1898 to 1904, re-

ease. 1928, is the lowest attained since
the occupation of tropical countries,
and compares favorably with the rates
prior to 1898.
For disability there were 1923 men
discharged. equal to rate of 25 per
1000 of strength, compared with 25
per 1000 for the preceding year and
22.S1 for the septennial period 1898

Serious Young English Woman.

Mrs. Gladstone. wife of the home
secretary of England, was brought up
in the opposite political camp. for she
was Miss Dorothy Paget, daughter of
Sir Richard Paget, for many years a
conservative member for Somerset.
Her marriage to the youngest son of
the great liberal statesman took place
nearly six years ago Though she has
given no notable entertainments, this
bright, pretty woman often receives
the more serious-one might almost
say learned-members of the liberal
party, and also those who share her
husbands devotion TO the royal and
ancient game of golf. She is thor
oughly well read, takes an interest in
politics and to certain extent shares
in Mr.. Gladstone's love of outdoor
life. But it was music that drew them
together in the first place. She is
very musical and he is specially fond
of part singing. And while singing
together they mutually fell in love.

and, next to Alaska, the constant non
effective rates, were lower in Cuba
than any other country where Ameri-
can troops were serving.
The United States proper had the
highest discharge rate, but, next to
Cuba. the lowest death rate, and the
lowest death rate for disease which
has been heretofore recorded.
The Philippine islands had as usual
the highest admission, death and con
stantly non-effective rates, and all the
rates weer a little higher than for
1908.
The rates for Hawaii were not as
good as for last year.
The admission rate was highest in
the field artillery and lowest in the
hospital corps, while the death rata
was highest in the infantry and low
est in the engineers.
The high admission rate of 1922
per 1.G00 men recorded in 1906 for al
coholism was increased to 1927 in
1906. Gen. O'Reilly says that his Of
fee concurs in the opinion expressed
by most medical officers of the army
that the abolition of the sale of beer
in post exchanges has as much to do
with the increase of disreputable dis
eases and alcoholism in the army by
driving the soldiers to disreputable
resorts outside of the post and beyond
the control of the post authorities.
AS usual. all rates for colored
troops, except the death rate, were
considerably lower than those for
white soldiers. All the rates for col
ored troops. except the non-effective
figure, were much lower than those
for the previous year.

Lost for Twelve Years She Is Found
on Reservation and Restored.

La Crosse, Wis.-Anna Vassal of
her parents after an absence of twelve
years.
When Anna was a small child she
was placed in an institution here, but
had been there only a short time
when she mysteriously disappeared
from the place. Georgiana Vassal, her
sister, heard that she had left the
home and went to the officials of the
institution, but they volunteered no
information, and a search for the
missing girl was begun.
1t was learned that the girl had en-
dured a nerve-racking experience;
that she had been sent away from
the institution, and had not left it as
her parents and relatives had been
led to believe. She was sent to a
family on an Indian reservation near
Duluth and for several years had been
brought up among the Indians. She
is now well acquainted with their
ways and language, and it may take
years TO educate the girl. The res
ervation is in a backwoods part of
Wisconsin and is known as Red Cliff.
The girl never was told her parents
we're seeking her. but was given to
understand that If she attempted to
escape she would be placed In the IN

Fiqhtinq for Mud.

Mud seems to be the latest COM
modify which has been cornered. The
ronopolist is the well-known Bohem-
ian watering place Franzenbad, whose
wonderful healing mud baths are fa-

OF Franzenbad's business enterprise

Of FranZenbad.
Saxony has watering place also

time ago Bad Elster entered into ne
Eotiations to buy a large area of
ground containing mineral mud depos-
ties near Franzenbad.
When the Bohemian town heard
what was going on they promptly de-
cided to head off their Saxon rivaIa
and stepped in and bought up the land
themselves. The Saxons were great
ly aggrieved and carried the matter
into the Bohemian courts, which de-
cided against them.
During the trial 1t was stated that
although Franzenbad already pos
sessed an inexhaustible- supply OF this
precious mud the town had spent more
than million crowns in buying up all
the mud lands in the surrounding
country in order to secure exclusive
possession for all time of this valu.

Soil nitrogen is lost In three ways,
by crops, by gas given off in free form
by the soil, and by teaching. A recent
experiment of the Minnesota station
has demonstrated that 80 bushels of
wheat will remove something like 40
pounds of nitrogen. If the ground be
kept in wheat for 12 years there will
be an annual loss OF about 95 pounds
of this element through the drainage
waters and air. For every pound that
is taken from the soil to make the
crop, more than two and one-fourth
pounds are lost in the other ways
named 1t should be noted that this
is true If the ground be kept in con-
tinuous cultivation to wheat. When
a rotation OF crops is practiced in
which clover is grown, live stock kept
and manure used. the supply of nitro
gen is maintained. There will be a
certain amount of nitrogen lost
through the air and drainage waters
in spite of all that can be done to pre-
vent 1t, but this ian be more than
returned by the growth Of clover and
the application Of manure.

We have always labored under
the impression that it was the

send people to the penitentiary'
Since when has it become either

viduals to usurp the authority
and power of courts? We pre-
sumo the reference is to the lay

mind him that that matter was
thoroughly threshed out two or
more years ago, and for further
aud complete information we
would cite him to the records OF

the records of the State Board

preme Court Reports

for more than thirty years" etc.
We are not informed as to the
number of years Mr. Lamar has
been in Office but coucede the
statement. The gentleman I'M
der discussion must have proven
conclusively within that period
bis eminent fitness for e,else
the people would not have con-
tinued him in Office for so long a
time. And we predict-that the
result of the coming primary
will show that the people are
satisfied to continue Bill Lamar
in office for awhile longer.
For the enlightenment of our
friend Borland we will state
what was meant when we wrote
that "Mr. Lamar has the adyan-
tage of his competitors in the
race for Congress"
First; Mr.. Lamar is lin, "the
others are "out." Possession
is said to be mine points"
Second: Mr.. Lamar has al
ways proven faithful to the trust
reposed in him by the people.
He has fought their battles in
season aud out. He has never
shirked a duty. He has ever
stood manfully and forcefully
for the interests of the masses as
against the interest of the
classes. His private character
is spotless, his official chara :ter
unassailable.
Third; Because it seems diff
fcult for the opposition to ced-
ter upon a candidate against
Lamar. That gentleman will
present a solid front of thous-
ands of friends and supporters
while the opposition will divide
itself among the other three
candidates.
Fourth; AS the lawyers say:
And for other good and sufic-
lent reasons"
Really, it does not require the
wisdom of Solomon to see that
these facts, taken singly or col,
lectively, give Mr.. Lamar a de-
clded advantage. We are sur
prised that friend Borland is so
dull of comprehension.

The New Enterprise thinks
that Bill Lamar has the adyan-

candidates in the Third Congress

the Recorder would like to know
in what way he has the advan-
tage. If failing in having a

political opponent to the peni
Tertiary gives him the advan-
.tage, the Recorder admits that
too. And if turning down the
fair sex-one hundred strong
who appealed TO his sympathy
to have mercy on the convicted,
gives him the advantage, the
Recorder admits that; and, if
holding office continually for
more than thirty years, gives
him the advantage, the Recorder
admits al the New Enterprise

Of Impeachment against a Fed
