MILITIA men
MAY GET PAID
l,ouse Military Committee Reports
FavorabIy on Bill
:, MnshIngton dIspatch SAWS:


Michigan National Guardsmen will
,eceive Si945O6 annually IL Congress
rosses the bill for Federal pay which
,,s favorably reported by the House
committee on military affairs late to-
day The figures are compiled on the
hasis of the minimum strength pres
cribed by the president and upon the
suppositlon that each officer and en-
usted man attends all the drills. At the
rresent time the Michigan National
Guard is not recruited up to its mini
mum strength.
Discussing the bill, Congressman
sweet of Michigan,S who as mem
her of the House military committee,
voted for favorable report, said
"tf the bill becomes law the federal
government will pay about $4,000. 600
annually to the national guard of the
entire country. ! believe the value
received will be i'm much greater
proportion than 100000 spent on the
regular army. am satisfied we do
not now receive the proper returns on
our military investments"
Better Than Regulars.
General speaking, 4 think the
character of the men IN the national
Guard is better than I'm the regular
army. They are inspired by patriot
ism more than are the men i'm the
regular service. Indeed. under ex-
isting conditions. patriotism Is the
only thing that induces men to 60
into The national guard. The com
mittee report shows that there has
been a continuous falling off in the
number of enlistments, because in
times of peace mems patriotism wanes.
During the last year the number of
enlisted men the country over was L.
$50 less than the year before. In the
Michigan National Guard there was a
decrease of only 81. however. The re-.
rort for the year which ended June
80 shows the enlistment in Michigan
to be 2.4S9."
Stewart confers With Sweet.
Mai Earl r. stewart of Grand Rap
ids, conferred with Congressman
Sweet on behalf of several changes,
but Mr. Sweet was unsuccessful in
having any of them incorporated in
the measure.
The measure proposes that enlisted
men In the national guard shall re-
ceive 35 per cent of the pay of men
in the regular army, and that the
commissioned officers shall receive
from 5 to 10 per cent. according to

Time to Cash In.

When you have yourself persuaded
that this life is stale and faded. that
there's nothing worth the effort un-
derneath the frowning sky, when
you've reached the dire conviction
that old Truth herself's a fiction,
and that all is false and shoddy, then
it's up to you to die. When the peo-
pie bore and hurt you who believe in
human virtue, since you long ago
decided that all virtue is joke,
when no kind of worthy action
brings glow of satisfaction, you've
outgrown the world you live in and
it's up to you to croak. When at
morn you leave the doWny with a
countenance all frowny, when you
gloom around your shanty like the
dame in Moated Grange, when you
can't dig up CHEEKY greeting for the
hausfrau weary, you are slowly de-
composing, and it's time you crossed
the range. When good motives
you'd deny us, when you jeer at all
things pious, when your breasts be-
come headquarters for case Of dole
full dumps, when you go your journey
strewin' prophecies of ruthless ruin,
then l guess you're one too many,
and it's time you bumped the bumps.

WIRES ROOSEVELT NOT TO TRY
AGAIN.
Capt. Albert Head Advises Teddy to
Steer Clear of Buzz Saw.

Capt. Albert Head, millionaire
banker of Jefferson, is opposed to
the third party movement. He sent
telegram to Theodore Roosevelt
last week telling him his views on
the subject and promises to write
"Teddy,' his ''old college chum,'
in full later of the way he reads the
present political situation.
The message which the captain
sent is as follows:
Dear Colonel-Don't monkey
with the third term buzz-saw. 1t
Will be more fatal than the third
term and Wall street steam roller
at the Chicago convention IRE
member Greeley Let your follow
long to the class that know how to
govern themselves. I'll vote for Will
son and stay in the republican party.
l will write fully later.
Respectfully yours,
''Albert Head"
Captain Head sent the dispatch in
the hope that the colonel, on mature
deliberation and after hearing the
people, would abandon his talked of
third party. Captain Head is going
to advise Colonel Roosevelt in the
letter which he is preparing to allow
his followers to vote for the candi-
dates who most nearly represents
their views and principles.
Captain Head always has been
identified with the republican party.
He was once speaker of the Iowa
house of repl esentatives. He is the
father of NJ. M. Head, present re-
publican state committeeman of the
Tenth district, who will be a candi-
date for permanent chairman of the
state convention
Captain Head was former presi-
dent of the state department of ag
riculture. He is the owner of the
Iowa hotel and other Des Moines
property. He is also a veteran of
the civil war.

Little Boy Choked to Death.

A peculiar accident, which oc-
Cured last Thursday evening, re-
suited in the death of little Joe Mill
err, son of Chas. 3. Miller and wife,
who lives near Darlington. The little
fellow in company with playmate
had been out in the garden and
they had gathered few goose
berries from bush. AS they were
returning, eating the berries, Joe
accidently studded his toe, and one
of the berries few down his wind
pipe. He managed to get to where
his father was at work and told him
he was choking and asked for a
drink of water. When Mr.. Miller
looked up he saw his son was black
in the face and handed him some
water. The lad took sup and then
dropped to the ground dead, having
been choked by the berry. A phys
ician was summoned but was unable
to be of any aid.
Funeral services were held at the
Mt. Zion church Saturday, attended
by large crowd of sympathizing rel
atives and friends and the little body
was buried in the cemetery adJoln-
ing.
The parents have the sympat thy of
all in the tragic ending of their loved
one.
The little fellows name was Jo-
seph Cope Miller, and he was born
May 10, 1904, being at the time of
his death years and II days old.
He was bright and obedient child
and made friends with everyone he
came in contact With.-Albany

Will WATSON Has Serious Accident

AS Will WATSON and family were
returning from Davis City, July 4th,
where they had attended the cele-
bration, they were going down a hill
about two miles west of Davis City,
when a shaft strap broke and the
horse started to run. Will could not
of the hill the horse gave sharp
turn and Willis leg got through the
wheel in such a way that the ankle
was broken completely off and the
bones shattered. The horse ran on
and Mrs. WATSON had to pitch two
of the children out of the buggy.
About a half mile further up the
road the horse was stopped by man
who was in the road. Will held his
nerve when he saw what had hap
pened him and in a few moments he
was carried into Lawrence Toney's
house, which was nearby, and phon-
ed for DR.. WALES and DR.. Reed from
Davis City, who came out Immediate
ly in their autos. They bandaged
the leg that night and in the morn
ing it was seen that an amputation
was necessary. They amputated it
about inches above the ankle. At
present Mr.. Wasson's condition is
serious and the doctors were doubt
full of his recovery. Will was hard
working man and this will be hard
blow to him and his family. A SUBJ
scription paper was passed among
his many friends in Lamont to obtain
financial aid in this hour of trouble
and thus far the expressions in that
line have been numerous.-Lamoni

CENTRAL HOLDS
FIRST CONCERT
IN MUSIC AND READINGS
TEACHERS SHOW RARE ABILITY
AND SKILI-LARGE AUDI
ENCE PLEASED.
From Tuesdays Daily.


Last night the conservatory faculty
of Central College gave their first con-
cert of the season. 1t was a rare treat
for music lovers and pronounced by
many the best ever heard in the city.
Beginning with the opening number,
1.-The Magic Flute, by Mozart, a piano
duo, played by Miss Conger and Prof
Utermoehlen, to the closing chorus,
Magic of Spring" sung by Miss Re
vile, Miss Wise, Miss Oosterhuis, Miss
Conger and Prof Utermoehlen, the
audience showed their genuine appre-
citation. In the opening number Miss
Conger at the first piano again demon
strated her ability as true artist and
was ably supported by Prof. Utter
moehlen.
Miss Oosterhuis, whose German pro-
nunciation was perfect sang "Mein
Rub list him with much feeling Her
second number, Love is the Wind .
was equally as pleasing, though differ
ent, and both showed an unusual mez-
20 voice.
Prof. Utermoehlen on the violin, ac-
companied by Misses Martin, COnger
and Oosterhuis, gave three numbers
by Grieg, taken from peer Gynt"
Miss Martins rendition of Concert
Arabesque was varied and brilliant.
The execution was wonderful and
showed technical skill truly marvel
GUS
Miss Patty Revill also charmed the
audience She rendered three folk
songs with much spirit, and the varie-
ty of style showed the singers ability
to glide with ease from one theme to
another. While in willamette (The
Flight of the Swallows), her execution
was charming. 1t is seldom we have
had the pleasure of hearing voice so
flexible, so sweet and showing so much
finish.
On the violin, accompanied by Miss
Conger, Prof Utermoehen also rend-
cred in a brilliant manner, that cele-
brated solo, Scene de Ballet. 1t was a
mastery piece of work
All in all, this was a great treat t
the guests of the college and we hope
we may have many more of them.
