The War department has received very
few responses to the letters sent out to
the adjutant generals of states asking for
a report Of the militia organizations which
are proposed for participation in the joint
army and militia m~aneuvers during the
coming summer. The interest, which has
hitherto been taken by the militia officials
to this project and which stimulated con-
gress to provide In the pending army APP
preparation act the item of 81, $50, 600 to de-
fray the cost Of these e~ncampments in
dicated that there would be a prompter
response to the calls for information from
the state authorities. Quite as little in
terest, too, of a practical sort has been
manifested in the proposition to designate
cavalry, field artillery, engineer and signal
officers of the organized militia for instruc-
ton preceding the joint m~aneuvers. The
War department has gone to some trouble
to organize certain courses of instruction
for officers of cavalry and field artillery at
Fort Riley and for officers of engineers
and signal troops at Fort Leavenworth. 1t
is planned that these courses shall take
about thirty days and terminate not later
than June 30. 1t was expected that the re-
sponses to this arrangement for the Of
ficers who would be. benefited by this
training would be given with promptness
and enthusiasm. 1t is disappointing to the
War department that no more interest is
taken in these two subjects Of such i'm
portance to the militia.
The bureau of navigation receives many
curious letters from young men in various
parts OF the country who are DESTROYS of
e%nlisting in the naval service. and one of
the most interesting communications re-
Gently sent in came from a boy not yet II
years of age, who lives In a town In north
ern New York. He received the attractively
Illustrated pamphlet, which is issued by
the bureau containing information for the
benefit of possible recruits, whereupon he
Informed the Navy department that he
wished to be accepted, although he would
not be of the required age for several
months. He says: II think If 1 have to
wait until September to enlist, 1 will be
in my grave, as my desire for the navy is
too strong. " " " Before closing this let
ter I wish to state that have read the
book through at least six times and found
it so Interesting that 1 have not slept for
one week. l think II you felt as l do for
the Navy that you would not sleep either"
The Navy department was not able to
waive the age limit on this urgent and in
sistent appeal, as 1t is adhering strictly to
the regulations in that particular. The
compilers of the pamphlet are much graft
lied over the fact that II possesses the
qualities which will keep a growing boy
wide-awake for one week. Most govern
ment are calculated to put folks
to sleep.

day Evening.

Was New Baker at National Sanitar;um..
His Firs. Days Work.-Remains Sent
To Leavenworth.

A friehtful accident happened at the
National Sanitarium, Saturday evening
at about eight-thirty, when the new
baker, August r. Rapp, sustained
injuries from which he later died.
Bapp and wife arrived here from
Leavenworth, Kansas, Friday, where
he had been employed in the National
Home there for the past four years,
and took up his duties here Saturday
morning. The day was spent in the
usual routine work A part Of his
duties in the evening was to prepare
the dough for the next Days baking
and in doing so he was caught in the
electric dough mixer which the govern
ment has installed to facilitate the
work. One arm became entengled in
one Of the revolving paddles and he
was drawn head foremost into the
machine. His left hand was cut off
completely, and the arm broken in
several places and finally almost torn
from his body. His chest and ribs
we're cayed in and he was horribly
lacerated all over the upper part Of his
body.
One of the nurses passing the bakery
shortly after the accident, it is thought
perhaps twenty minutes later as there
were no witnesses present, heard
muffied groaus and notified some Of
the guards that some one was hurt in
that part of the service building. The
sound could not be located for some
little time but finally some one tried
the door of the bakery and found it
locked Upon procuring keys and
opening it weird sight met their gaze.

soon as part of the dough was re-
moved from his head he was found to

He was wedged in in such manner
that it was necessary to remove the
tops Of seventy-two bolts with q cold
ohisel before he could be taken out.
The best of medical aid was given
him but he was beyond human help
and expired at six O'Clock the follow
ing morning being conscious up to the
time of his death.

Regarding the building of state
Methodist hospital which earlier in the
season Hot Springs was after, dis
patch from Huron has the following to
say as to the probable location:
ga new contestant has recently ap.
peared to bid against Huron, in the at
tempt to secure the Methodist state
hospital, it being reported that Water
town will make an offer to the con-
ference when it meets at Mitchell in
October. Huron has offered the
Methodists $4,000 and valuable site
for the institution, and the majority
OF the members of the conference are
reported to be in favor of locating it
in that city. 1t is not known what
Watertown will offer. The city of
Mitchell has been among the bidders
until recently when the Methodists of
that city withdrew in favor Of Huron.
The conference will decide upon q
location when it meets this month and
it plans to invest ultimately about
$4,000 in the hospital"

This action results directly from one
of the most acrid contests ever held
IN the state department of the Grand
Army, but it is said to have had its in.
ception Ill the local post, where Lud.
low and Brown have been members,
but not oomrads in the sentimental

candidate for state commander at

Watertown, but owing to the character
of the opposition from his own CITY
was defeated, the place being won by
Colonel N. II. Kingman, of sebly.

been prominent in the state depart

both men have extensive acquaintan-
