Capt Charles R Rowland OF the
Twenty-first Infantry, U. S. A., is
fighter, author, hero, and soldier.
He recently voluntarily risked his
life and saved the lives of twelve
men. For this act of bravery h
government presented him with a
magnificent gold medal. Captain
Rowland has just completed his
book on the digest of opinions of the
Judge advocate general. BY order of
the war department 1t will go into
effect in the army at once. The
authorities proclaim this work an in
~novation in military law as all i'm
portant opinions and decisions of
the department since 1902 are so ar
ranged that they automatically de-
eide cases h a come up before com
without their having to be
referred to Washington for review
and decision. Captain Rowland is a
native Of Ohio and brother of Con-
gresham Rowland of that state.

BUSINESS is Dull.
Trade for the Week. Has Not Been Bet
ter Than Fair.

New York, June 1.-Bradstreet's trade
reports are irregular in tenor but it
is probable that the weeks turnover in
commercial circles has not been better
than fair. Retail dealers have so far
experienced a disappointing spring sea-
son, for which natures forces are re-
sponsible, though the high cost of food
has probably also tended to initiate
against large purchases. Proceeding to
the larger purveyors-that is, jobbers
and wholesale dealers-it is evident
that sales are ark by small lot
purchases by conservatism, controlling
or holding up fall orders, and by the
fact that current trade is dominated
by between-season conditions.
In the dry goods lines. distribution
for immediate needs is not above fair.
In a word. the trade lacks desired ami
nation and it is likely that the needed
zest will not be forthcoming until crop
prospects crystalline and political con-
ventions are out of the way. Iron and
steel shipments continue heavy, with
prices on a more profitable basis. Col
lectiOns are not much above fair. and
western banks, some of which are
closely loaned up, report that country
institutions are drawing down reserves.
Business failures in the United States
for the week ending May 80, were 231.
against 21S last week; 1853 in the like
week of 1911.
Wheat. including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for he
week ending May 80, aggregate 4,914.4 400
against $3.50, 613 last week and
3,673,366 this week last year.
Corn exports for the week are AZ. 15e
bushels against $50, 500 in 1911.

Leavenworth, Kan, June MEL
vim Bedwell, an old timer of Potter,

one occasion, when the government

One Double Hanging.
In 1868 Mr.. Bedwell witnessed the
hanging of two men named Brewer
Mooney by a mob in Atchison.
These men belonged to a gang of
outlaws that had committed depreda-
tons Throughout this section of the
country. They were placed in a wagon
at the court house, driven to a spot
just south of the present Santa Fe
depot in Atchison, and there hanged
on an elm tree. Mr.. Bedwell says
the mob was led by a well known

Plenty of Flowers for Dead.

Jewell City, June 1.-The Memo
rial and Decoration day programs at
this place were arranged by the G. A.
r. post and w. r. c. and executed
by the clergymen and local talent.
Rev. James cornish of Glen Elder, a
Jewell City boy, gave the Decora-
ton day address. The soldier dead in
four cemeteries near Jewell City are
always remembered by the post and
corps of this place. Impressive ex-
ercises were held in the Wallace
cemetery at 8 a. m. at monument
to unknown dead. At 11:30 a.. m.
in City park a brief exercise was held
for presenting a new flag to the city,
a gift from the w. R. c., the presi-
dent, Mrs. Gertie Collie, making
presentation speech. The band of the
Hillman Stock company, which is do
ing town this week, played The Star
Spangled Banner for the occasion.
After the flag was raised the old SOL
diers waved their hats and CAV three
cheers as they stood around the lag
pole. There was an of
flowers on this decoration occasion.
Among the numerous donors of roses
was A. S. Clelland, with 209 from his
own yard. Probably nothing has con-
tributed more to the Improvement of
cemeteries than the observation of
this occasion, as the yards have
grown more beautiful every year and
the vast majority of lot owners make
special efforts to beautify them by
Decoration day time.
