They wanted to know, Of their own

another paint they knew all about-it
was sold right there, and considered
good.
They painted the house OF w. B.

the two paints against one another: one
coat Devoe 6 gallons, the other coat
that other paint 10 gallons. Difference
500; 81 for paint, $13 for labor.
That other paint is made In New
Orleans; Is pure; is considered an
excellent paint, and has a good deal OF
local goodwill.
But the standard paint has been low
all through the southwest. That paint
is thin; 1t is, you see, six-tenths OF O
paint Devoe saves 500 over 1t on hall

He Yielded His Right to Promotion to
General McCaskey.

Washington, May 9.-Answering some
criticism which followed the designation
of Brigadier General William s. Nc
Caskey, to be major general, which pro-
motion was made over the head of Brig
adler General Frederick Funston, the
senior brigadier, the following state
ment was issued today at the war de-
partment:
Concerning the recent promotion of
General McCaskey, Notwithstanding the
seniority of General Funston, General
Bell, the chief of staff, said at the war
department today that prior to General
McCaskey's promotion he had PERSONAL
ly received a letter from General Fun
ston in which he stated that he had no
objection to General McCaskey's promo
ton ahead of himself because of Cen
eral McCaskey's character as soldier
and his civil war record and that he
would gladly have made this statement
officially were it not for the fact that
this would be assuming that the war de-
partment intended to promote him as
the senior brigadier general. an assump-
ton he did not care to make, but he de-
sired the chief of staff to know his true
sentiments on the subject and for that
reason wrote personally about the mat

teachers who are fitted for practical
work in education"
Prof. Greenwood, at the opening of
his address, asked, What shall be done
that our children shall become better
men and women than we are?" In an
swer he said: 1--WE should keep our
boys and girls children as long as we
can. We cannot prematurely force
our children UP to manhood or wo-
manhood without spelling them. A

sleeper and a good Laughter. The

in an effort to secure remuneration
from congress for d. w. Boutwell, of
Topeka, the man who saved Kansas
from the invasion of General Price in
1864.
In speaking of the matter this
morning Governor Click said: with
out a doubt the state of Kansas would
have suffered from a terrible invasion
in 1854 from the proposed raid of
General Price, had it not been for the
unrewarded services of Mr.. Boutwell,.
1864, Governor Carney had received
some intimation of the proposed ma
neuvers of General Price the Missouri
commander of the Confederate troops.
General Pleasanton was in command
a brigade of troops composed of
several regiments of regular cavalry
and he was so situated that he was the
However, he was ignorant of the
plans of the Confederate general. AS
soon as Governor Carney had learned
that Price was marching to attack
Kansas City, Kan, and Fort Leaven-

Boutwell,, at that time a citizen, was

the news of the intensions of General
Price to General Pleasanton who was

FOR new PENSIONS.
Nearly All Applicants Under NIcCum-
Der Law Already on Rolls.

Washington, May 9.-More than 3d.
600 pensions have been granted al
ready under the McCumber service PEN
sion act. So far 100000 applications
have been filed. The bureau is grinding
them out at the rate of 1900 a day, and
will take about six months to pass on
applications already filed 1t is esti-
mated al least $1,000 more will be fled
within the year. Pensions date from the
day applications are received. so The
soldier who is last on the list is losing
no money by waiting.
Two remarkable things developed
under the new law said Assistant
Secretary Wilson, of the interior de-
partment, who has charge of the pen
sion work. lone is that only one sol
der, under the McCumber ac:, has APP
pealed from the pension bureau 20 my
department. He claimed he was G2
years old, and entitled to a pension.
He lost. Another remarkable thing is
that only 1 per cent of the 100000 SOL
diers who have applied under the Nc
Cumber act are not already on tie
pension rolls. Only $500 applicants
were not drawing pensions under some
other law.
