SCHOOL ToR OFFICgRs
IN THE STATE MILITIA
Plan to Establish Course Of instruction
at the State Capitol.


Plans are being set on foot by
the State Military Department
for the establishment Of School
Of instruction for officers of the
State Guard this year, says The
Frankfort News. The National
War Department is fostering
such innovations In the ordinary
routine Of militia work, for the
purpose of bringing the Official
Stats of the state guards up to
the highest point of efficiency.
1t is not compulsory that these
schools be held, and the expense
of conducting them under officers
detailed by the national govern
ment is deducted from the
states apportionment for militia
purposes under the Dick bill.
Adjutant General z. p. John
ston believes that it will be
money very well spent, how
ever. and has written to the war
department. accepting the prOpo-
sition made.
1t is proposed to have every
I.. u
officer Of the state guard 60 into
enoampment some time before
the regular regimentsl encamp,
|inents are to be held. The Of
[ficers will swaive their ranks aud
take part in the school without
regard for rank or dignitiesl
They will be drilled in all or the
tactics Of soldiery by competent
|ofilcers from the regular army.
General Johnston says that, they
will be taught the knowledge
that they should have as o&cers /;
and so equipped that they
can stand up to what their in
sigma of rank implies. Much
of the course will require good
hard study; and it is believed
that by the time the school 3
concluded, the officers will be 10
first. class shape to take charge
the regimental encampments and
accomplish better work than has
ever been done in encampments
In Kentucky.
1t is very probable that the
school for instruction of the Of
icers will be held at the en-
campment grounds near Frank.
fort. Either Louisville or Frank
fort will be chosen, says Gen.
Johnston, and as yet a ride
range or encampment ground
has not been secured near the
Falls City. There are about 15l
officers in the state guard and al
will be required to take sht
course.

Southern Relief Society Ball.
PARTNER A BEAUTIFUL
SOUTHERN WOMAN.

When it comes to tripping the
light fantastic toe, our plumply,
ponderous President is feath-
erwelgnt, says Daisy Fltzhugh
Ayers in the Oourier-Joural.
For ease and grace in dancing,
Mr.. Taft is two year-old; for
spring and fexibIlity, he is as
"a spTite. The terpsichorean

Nobody thought he would do
it, but he did, and to the queens
taste.
1t was at the great Southern
Relief ball at the New Willard a
few days ago, an affair which
the President of these United
STATES graciously honored with
his presence. At IL O'Clock a
broad aisle was made for his
augustness-he requires a pretty
broad aisle, you know-through
the mass of merrymakers on the
ballroom floor. The Marine
Band paused in the middle of a
barn dance and struck into the
strains of the "Star Spangled
Banner"
President Arrives.
The President, who had ar
rived with his inevitable adj
junct, Capt. Archie Butt, offer
ed his arm calamity to his COM
panion president, Mrs. William
+. Dennis, of Washington and
Kentucky, the new chief execul
tive of the Southern Relief So
ciety. The distinguished couple,
the focus Of all eyes, marched
through the clearing to the box
decorated in American Beauties,
reserved for the occasion.
Mrs. Dennis gracefully pref
sented to the President the
many who sought that honor.
Then Mr.. Taft sat down and
watched the dancers smilingly,
A beautiful woman fioated by

Blue Danube She was blonde
and statuesque and ample in
physique. Yet she waltzed like
a fairy.

An Effective Alarm.

Flanagan had been discharged from
the artillery and went to live in cot
tage In his native village. One day he
left on weeks visit to some distant
relatives, and day later the village
constable was standing at his door
when he heard the sudden boom of
the rusty cannon Flanagan had
mounted on his front hedge.
An instant later brick whizzed
past the constable's ear and smashed
his door to smithereens.
The indignant officer, followed by
the populace, rushed to Flannigan's
cottage and found 1t still tenantless,
but showing signs Of recent burgllng.
When Flanagan returned the next
week he heard the news and was de-

Regards Demand for Vote Saturday
as Joke.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Declar-
ing no less than two weeks will be
necessary to consider the amend
ments already offered TO the railroad
bill, Senator Cummins today resisted
the efforts OF Senators Hale and Ell
klns to obtain an agreement TO vote
on the bill next Saturday. The Iowa
senator not only objected to the
proposition but he pronounced II a
Joke.
Senator Bacon made Vt evident II
no one else objected he would do so.
He contended the managers of the
bill are not justified In asking for an
agreement looking to a vote until
they are able to present q perfected
bill. Mr.. Elkins brought up the
question of a vote after the close of
speech by Senator Crawford advo-
eating the elimination of the COM
merce court provision of the BILL
II do not want to hurry the sena-
tors" said Mr.. Elkins, but we all
want to get away from here by the
18th OF June. l, therefore, urged the
senator's desiring to speak on the bill
or amendments to prepare them
selves to do so and give us an OPP
portunity to vote"
Mr.. Cummins regarded Mr.. Elklns
request as not only amiable but jocu
lar. There are more than 100 amend
ments to be considered, he said, and
no less than fortnight will be neces-
sary for this alone. He suggested
as a substitute that not less than
three hours a day be devoted to the
consideration OF the bill and amend
ments until disposed OF,
Mr.. Bacon would not consent. ''The
senator knows that this bill has been
here for weeks" he said, ''and we re-
coiye no assurance as to when the
bill will be completed"
"Today's amendments are not of
kind that should surprise senators"
said Mr.. Hale. I'VE do not know" re-
piled Mr., Bacon, I'VE have not seen
them" Mr. Cummins brought the
discussion to an end by presenting an
amendment striking out the provis-
ion authorizing the submission in adj
vance of agreements to the court OF
commerce. The senate then went
into executive session.

diving" and two men will perform
many clever feats together. One Of
the most grotesque of these is when
one man stands upright on a spring
board and tightly clasps another mans
body round the waist, holding him
head downward and putting his own
head through the mans legs. When
the upright man springs from the
board he throws his legs into the air
so that the two men, clasping each 9TH
err tightly round the waist, turn a SOM
ersault, and when they reach the wa
ter the man who started upside down
arrives feet foremost.
The handspring dive is a very effec-
tive speciality Of Swedish swimmers.
The performer takes or from the div
ing board with hands instead of feet,
turning his body In order to descend
feet foremost or somersaulting to ar
rive head downward.
Very graceful also Is the back dive,
In which the spring Is made backward,
the body turning toward the spring
board.
Double somersault dives are made
from platforms thirty to fifty feet
high, the diver making two turns In
the air and entering the water feet
foremost. London Saturday Review.

The Idaho Statesman wants the
agricultural college separated from
the University OF Idaho and moved
to the south and offers the excuse
that northern Idaho students can 60
out OF their own state and attend
tho college at Pullman, Washington.
That Is fair expression OF the In
terest the southern part OF this
state has in the north. II wants all
OF the public benefits and wishes to
use the north only as source OF rev.
enne. State loyalty with the south
Is a sham and fraud when 1t comes
TO securing a public institution or
grating from the public treasury at
the expense OF the north. 1t Is this
greed to secure all public state instl-
buttons and gobble all else in sight
that keeps alive a sentiment in the
north for a new state out OF parts Of
Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
