CAN'T GO TO BED
WITH HATS ON
Soldiers Head Gear Not to
Be Used as Pillow.

While the American soldier, in COM
occasions when 1t Is convenient to go
to bed with his boots on, General Wood,
chief of staff, is determined that the
nations defender shall not go to bed
with his hat on any more.
So when the fall styles Of millinery ap-
pear for use in the army of the United
States, specially designed hat will be
worn, out of which the soldier cannot
make a pillow, as is now his custom.
The department has learned with indig-
nation that the United States regular
takes his present style of hat, which
is best described as a cross between
rancher's hat and the wool hat of the
South, turns up the rim at the front and
back, fastening the upturned rim IN place
with sx-penny nails. The result is not
at all what the military regulations ex-
pected; but the wearer likes it.
At night the soldier mashes in the
elaborate crown, of which there is a
great deal. and wantonly turns the hat
into a comfortable pillow. The new fall
style consists of a very strong re-
semblance to the cap worn by the Rus
sion soldier, with a tan visor, and is so
made that when put upon the head the
back flops down and supplies the wearer
with that peculiar rakish effect for which
soldiers the world over continually strive
But the soldier must not turn the rim UP;
and for lack of the great crown which
the present style boasts, there will be no
satisfaction or comfort to be derived
from its use as a pillow.

WILL FIRE SHOT
FIFTEEN MILES
New Gun Planned Will Be
Most Powerful Known.

Plans for new gun, which,, 1t is
said, will astonish the world, have
been completed by the United States
navy and will make the world-beating
fourteen-inch gun obsolete. The plans
were made by Admiral Twining, Chief
of the Bureau of Ordnance.
Recently the government completed
a fourteen-inch gun, but it was learned
that other nations-Japan included
are also building guns of this caliber.
A larger gun was Immediately contem-
plated by the United States, and a
sixty -seven-foot gun was the result
The fourteen-inch gun is fifty-two feet
bore with an eight-foot breech, and
fires shell which weighs 400 pounds
1t is calculated to rip the armor from
a ship at distance of eleven miles.
According to statements, the new gun
will carry shell of 2,000 pounds and
will be effective at fifteen miles. Ad-
miral Twining says this will necessitate
somewhat greater ship. as it will carry
ten 16-inch guns. enabling it TO hurl a
broadside of 100000 pounds of shells.
Reports from ordnance officers show
the practicability of using the aeroplane
with wireless telegraph equipment as a
range finder when other ships or forts
are below the horizon. With a telescope
the scout could ascertain where the first
shells fell from his own fleet and wire

PLAYGROUND WAR
BXCITES FACTIONS
Neighbors at Odds Over Gar
field Park.

The citizens of the southeast section OF
the city who are waging a fight for the
removal of the Garfield Park playground
from the reservation are now meeting
with opposition from many of their neigh
bors. a petition signed by 800 residents
of the locality has been sent to the Wash
ington Fairgrounds Association protest
ing strongly against its removal from the
park.
1t is estimated that fully 1000 more
names will be procured.
Leaders in the movement for the re-
moval of the playground say that their
opponents are persons living in the
neighborhood, but not on squares facing
the playground 1t is maintained that
these persons are not constantly con-
fronted by the unsightly apparatus
which so detracts from the natural
beauty of the park. 1t is also said that
most of the opponents are not property
holders and that they are consequently
not interested in any decrease in the
value of the land
Those advocating the removal of the
playground have sent a petition to Col.
Spencer Cosby, superintendent of public
buildings and parks, requesting his &C
hon in the matter
Edgar S. Martin, supervisor of play
grounds, again visited the Garfield Park
playground yesterday during a tour ot
all of the grounds in the city. He said
that he interviewed A number of the resi-
dents in regard to the situation and thai
the greater number are in favor of the
retention of the playground in the park
He said that he has no official protest
from those in favor of the removal.
He understands there is a letter ir
Commissioners Rudolphs office at the
District Building, signed by a committee
of three, protesting against the play
ground.

SAYS IT'S KAPH
INSTEAD OF BETH
LouisKramm Asserts Hebrew
Inscription Is Wrong.

Great interest is aroused among the
congregation of the Eighth Street He
brew Temple by a statement made by Mr.,
Louis Kramm, a Hebrew scholar of this
city, who declares that the inscription on
the corner stone is meaningless as II
stands, and that an error has been COM
mitted by the writer of the motto.
The supposed Hebrew inscription is
Beth Elohim," meaning THE House OF
God" but as it stands the first letter, or
Hebrew character, is "k' instead Of 'b. y
In order to correct the error 1t will
not be necessary to remove or rechisel
the entire stone. IT is said, but the let
ter may be so modified as to make the
proper character.
The temple was erected in 1897 and
recently installed a pipe organ said tp
be the finest in the city.
DR.. Simon is now in Europe. DR.,
Stern is at Ocean View. On their re-
turn the correction will be made If
necessary.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, June 15.--Wheat bulls had
an opportunity yesterday to sell July
and September to better advantage as
a half dozen Of the big local shorts
were buying and were presumably sup
piled by the bull leaders as they were
the only ones in opposition to sell
large quantity. Close observers Of
speculative conditions said last night
that they expected a nervous wheat
market for the next few weeks until
something is known as to what dis
position will be made of the cash wheat
by the bun leaders. Should they de-
liver 1t the first part Of the next month
traders look for the market to take it's
natural course, otherwise they say that
there win be a choppy market until
hedging sales are Of sufficient volume
to be a potent influence and make the
load too heavy for the bulls. Local
shorts were we'll in last night and the
small traders were inclined to be a
little bullish, while sentiment generally
favored a decline. Inter Ocean.

LATE HEAVY SHOWERS HELP
BIG CORN ACREAGE.

Samples of spring wheat. brought
into town today showed that it is
heading out and a NUMBER of stools
measured over thirty inches in. height
and without a blemish. This state
ment represents all parts Of Clay
county. Two samples from the Aske-
showed most satisfactory conditions
and the prospects for a heavy yield
are Of the best.
From many sources it is learned that
no trouble from grasshoppers is an
ticipated, the recent heavy showers did
good work in the destruction Of eggs
and what 'hoppers there are cannot
do very much harm, as the grain is too
far ahead. Winter wheat farmers are
anticipating splendid results for that
crop never looked so promising.
Manager Simmons of the N. j. Olsen
Co, today, said that the acreage Of
corn, this year, is more than double
that Of any previous year. Farmers,
who heretofore have not gone beyond
ten to fifteen acres, have seeded fifty
to eighty acres this year and many of
the fields are being cultivated for the
third time. In this cereal Clay county
farmers are reaching out to the stand
ard of wheat, etc. One field of ninety
acres not great distance from town,
is pronounced Al by Iowans who have
settled in Clay county the last year or

Mornina Grain Letter.

Chicago. June 15.-There has been
undoubtedly considerable short wheat
covered during the past few days which
has given us a fair rally from the low
point of Monday. This strength is
apt to continue possibly little longer
as hedging sales have not yet become
pronounced and short sellers must
furnish the pressure.
Corn-A better tone to the cash
market, prospective falling off In the
movement and continued lack of rains
over the belt are apt to give us a firm
market and we are inclined to favor
the long side on weak spots.
oats-The general undertone to this
market remains steady, and there has
been considerable liquidation from pur-
ly speculative sources. The market
however, rallies easily on any volume
Of new buying and conditions sur
rounding the crop show no betterment.
