Plenty of Drill.
Although shy on the comforts of camp
the guardsmen are having plenty of
work on the field of drill. Their day
is pretty well filled with work, only
the hottest hours Of the day just after
dinner being free from drill of some
kind. Reveille is sounded at o'clock
in the morning and at $3.50 comes the
mess call for breakfast. From 7 o'clock
until noon the troops are drilled, and
then comes dinner. Shortly after the
work starts again with dress parade,
lasting until $50, at which time sup
per is served at the mess tents.

With program of military events
including drills, maneuvers and pa

1t was a social event as well as
military event. In the boxes were well
known Peorians and Illinoisans, bust
ness men and their families and
others who were there to see and to
enjoy. Sprinkled in the vast audience
in the amphitheatre were colonies and
majors in full regalia, who were of
the regiments scheduled to do work
before similar crowds later in the
week.
Then, too, there were United
States regular army officers who de-
sired to see the parade and maneuvers

uniforms were in evidence everywhere.
On every side was seen the stars and

which followed closely after the pa

district, were most appropriate as the
opening of the military encampment.
The people were given a glimpse of
every phase of military life-given a
deep insight TO the efficiency of the
soldiery of the state of Illinois. They
appreciated the strength of the Il
linois National Guard when 1000 men
marched before the amphitheatre. 1t
was an object lesson of rare value to

1t was with a sigh Of genuine relief
that Governor Deneen dismounted
from his horse upon reaching his
headquarters yesterday afternoon after
having ridden from there, paraded the
down town streets and returned to the

MATTER? HUMIDITY
That's What Ais Us All From the
Head of the Family to
the Dog.
H-u-m-i-d-i-t-y.

Humidity
That's it; nothing else.
That's what creates that terrible de

it out of the window. That's what
sends men around looking for trouble
causes the housewife to quarrel with
the neighbours kids and makes it ad
visable to muzzle the family dog. It's
been with US all week and it's rank
outrage.
Yesterday the weather men said ii
would be cooler and it was cooler, but
the humidity remained and is with lie
yet. 1t was 80 per cent this morning.
Drat the humidity.

Unflatterlnu Truth.

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. The
FIVE children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly fiattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days Of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
1--WE felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor-
rid medicine. So we were awfully
glad to see you, always, cause you
made us stick out our tongues. We
stuck 'em ont awful far!"

BANKER TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
Assistant Treasurer of Trust Com
pany in Louisville Is Charged
With Embezzlement.

Louisville, Ky.-August Ropke, as
sistant secretary of the Fidelity
Trust Co., the oldest banking
house in Louisville, and a director of
the Toledo Transit & Railway Co., To-
ledo, O., was arrested here on a
charge of embezzlement. In the
opinion of experts who are looking
over the books the amount involved
will reach half million dollars. 1t
is said Ropke's peculations cover a
period of five years. Bucket shops
are supposed to have got most of the
money.
AS he was the assistant secretary
of the institution he had the bank at
his mercy and when he needed money
to put up for his margins it is said he
visited the strong box of the trust
company. While looking over the
books of his chief one of the clerks
in the bank happened to find a false
entry and this made him suspicious.
He called John w. Barr, Jr., president
of the trust company, and told him of
his discovery. After making per-
sonal investigation of the case Mr..
Barr discharged Ropke. Ropke vigor-
ously denied his guilt and expert ac-
countants were called from Chicago.
Several false entries were found and
Ropke was placed under arrest.

RUNAWAY PASTOR
AND GIRL CAUGHT
BOTH ADMIT THEY DID WRONG,
BUT NEITHER ONE is
REPENTENT.
CHARGES FATHER WITH BRUTALITY
Minister Says He Took Daughter
Away From New York Home to
Save Her From Further Abuse
Claims Wrong Innocent.

Kansas City, Mo.-The story that
a minister of 35 and a girl of
Ia from Schenectady told the po-
lice after their arrest here is the
familiar recital of the runaway pair
up to certain point. Beyond that 1t
lifts itself above the ordinary ro-
nance. Both admit they did wrong,
but neither is repentant. And both
declare they purposely let the home
folks know where they were so they
could be taken back-just to get even
with the girls father. The runaway
pair-the Rev. Clinton Dewitt Sharp
of the Seventh Day Adventist church
and Eunice Graham Whittaker-were
arrested in boarding house here.
Captain Whitesell ordered their ar
rest at the request of William H.
Hathaway, sheriff of Schenectady. A
year ago last November Sharp ar
rived in Schenectady, N. Y, from
Rochester, N. Y, with his wife. He
began his work in the community.
After he preached at the home of Asa
Whitaker, few miles out of town.
On April 25 came reports that
Sharp was paying too much attention
to the feminine members of his con-
gregation. He resigned from his pull
pit and his wife left him to go to her
home in Rochester. But Eunice Ora
ham Whitaker refused to believe the
stories. One night she went to the
minister to confide story to him. A
note from Sharp to the girl followed
the next day. That night they eloped.
II loved her." the minister con-
fessed to Captain Whitsell. "She is
only child, but loved her. i know
that the only wrong l have done was
an innocent one."
Captain Whitsell turned to the girl.
And you," he said, you would rather
be with this man than with your
father and mother?"
Yes. / asked him to take me
away from Schenectady; wanted
never to see my father or my mother
again. I.pleaded with him and finally
he said he would go. He has treated
me as if was his daughter"
Schenectady, N. Y.-Rev. Clin-
ton Dewitt Sharp, who ran away
with Eunice Whitaker, is charged
with abduction, a warrant having
been sworn out by Asa Whitaker,
father of the girl. The arrest of
Sharp followed the receipt by the
chief of police here of letter from
the minister, giving not only his ad-
dress, but containing most startling
charge against the father of the girl.
Sharp declares that Mr.. Whitaker
had for a long time subjected his
daughter to the most brutal treatment
and that the girl was taken away to
save her from further abuse.

CAPPs QUITS THE NAVY.
MASTER SHiPBUlLDER SENDS
RESIGNATION TO TAFT.
Rear Admiral, at the Age of 46, Has
Achieved EnviabIe Reputation as
"The Man Behind the Cum"

Washington, d. C.-Rear Admiral
master shipbuilder, is to retire as
chief of the bureau Of construction
and repair of the navy department.
His resignation, approved by Secre-
tary Meyer, has been transmitted to
the president. Rear Admiral Capps,
at the age of 46, having achieved an
enviable reputation as "the man be-
hind the gum" finds himself prompted
to retire because, as he himself de-
clares, he is not in entire accord with
the reorganization policy Of the presi-
dent and Secretary Meyer.
His frankness in 80 stating his posi-
ton has led the secretary to recon-
mend that the resignation be accepted
in conformity with the best interests
of the naval service. Rear Admiral
Capps has appeared several times in
the role of defender of the navy
against the attacks of magazine crit
les. His speedy retirement as chief
constructor was predicted three
months ago when he clashed with
Secretary Meyer before the house
committee on naval affairs.
The chief constructor challenged
the accuracy of statements made to
the committee by Admiral Cone in be-
half of Secretary Meyer. Subsequent
events indicated that the secretary in
tended to discipline his chief. The ac-
ceptance of his resignation may be
held in abeyance until October /. On
this date Admiral Capps will round
out 80 years of service, enabling him
to take advantage Of a recent enact
ment permitting him to retain the
title of rear admiral. In the mean
time, it is probable that he will go on
tour of inspection to the west coast
or the Philippines.

Spring Wheat peterlorates.

New York City.-Bradstreet' says:
Wholesale trade and industry are
quiet as whole, the result part
ly of midsummer and holiday infiu-
ences, and also because of the desire
of buyers to await more definite in.
formation as to crop outcome. Re-
tail trade ON the other hand has been
rather more active. Winter wheat
has deteriorated greatly. Corn and
oats have improved. Hay looks Ike
short crop in many states of the
northwest. Other crops have made
fair progress.

Call Rattleship Bake oven.

Norfolk, Va.-When the battleship
Delaware steamed out from Hamp-
ton Roads for st. Thomas, Dan
ish West Indies, on her first voyage
since joining the United States navy,
the ship left score or more of the
sailors of her crew behind. The sail
ors purposely allowed the vessel to go
to sea without them because they
claim the big fighter is regular bake
oven. The interior design of the Della
ware differs from that of any other
battleship in the navy In that the yes
sci is divided up into small compart-
ments by bulkheads, which were
built after the ship was turned over
to the navy department.

The Miser of Sac Harbor.

Economy" said Daniel w. Field,
the millionaire shoe manufacturer OF
Boston, who at the age of forty-five
has entered Harvard, economy is es-
sential to wealth, but by economy
don't mean niggardliness.
TOO many men fail to attain to
wealth because they practise a
cheeseparing and mean economy that
gets everybody down on them.
"They practise, in fact, an economy
like that of old William Brewster Of
Sag Harbor. william, you know, would
never buy oysters because he couldn't
eat shells and all"
