Following conference yesterday
between military officials and Cow

general court-martial instead OF q
summary court, shall BIO held for tho
trial Of the privates OF Company =,

from a sham battle on Labor Day.
This is In accord with the action
OF Major L. T. Price. tho commander
OF the First Battalion, In requesting
q general court, which has larger Jus
risdiction that has summary tri-
bunal. It appears that the action Of
ment, in ordering summary court,
was due to a Misrepresentation. He
had been informed that the Governor
was opposed to a general court-mar-
tai, and In Difference to what he thus
supposed was the position OF the Ex-
ecutivc, he recommended the summary
court.

Upon learning OF this misapprehen-'

& G.. w. Robertson. of Chase CITY. who
Friday morning as blood was trans
fused into his weakened veins from

much improved last night.
Mr.. Robertson was bitten by a pig
four weeks ago, and came to the Me-
mortal Hospital a week ago. HIS leg
became rapidly worse, and amputation
was found to be necessary. But he
had been SO greatly weakened by the
strain that infusion of fresh blood was
necessary. His brother proffered his
services. and the transmission was
made. Nearly a pint of blood was
ftransfused from the Veins OF one to
the other, and the operation was re-
7garded as highly successful.

Civilization and Missions.

There is a question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentatiye Of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per
manent and continue a blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well being, 1t also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
OF Jaw. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
ton has been remarkable.
