CHAPTER discontinued.

Holtons present idea was to wait
for the army to move, purposing to
follow their advance, and under cover
Of the battle to enter Santiago. But
as day after day passed 1t seemed to
him as though the order to advance
would be given.
He went up to the Cuban camp sew
eral times, and on one Of these occa-
slons had long conference with Gar
ella, to whom still maintaining his role
as an English newspaper correspond
ent, he related the details of his mis-
adventures at Aserraderos. Garcia's
face clouded as Holton proceeded, and
at the conclusion of his narrative he
regarded the young officer sadly.
Il do not doubt what you say, Mr.
ogilve," he sighed gloomily, but it is
hard blow. Jose Cesnola is-was-
one OF our most trusted leaders. Now
that know, can attribute many mis-
fortunes to him, for he was very much
In our confidence. Very we'll! Friends,
comrades, have deserted us, have
proved traitorous before this-I shall
bear him in mind"
Six days in all elapsed before any
indication that the army was to move
came to the surface. On the sixth
day, June 80, however, orderly and
aides began galloping down the road,
way and the word came that the ad.
vance was to begin at four o'clock
that afternoon. Holton wondered if
the entire army was to move at once
or whether each command was to
take up the march at an appointed
hour.
At four promptly his question was
answered when the entire force broke
camp and crowded into the narrow
jungle trail at practically the same
minute.
Holton followed along the trail with
an infantry regiment. The army was

MANY IDEAS OF CONVERSATION
At All Times There Have Been Differ
snces Of Opinion a. to Art OF
Exchanging Ideas.

A Norwegian writer has been poking
fun at our methods Of conversation.
It is good for us occasionally to see
ourselves as others see US. This critic
is intensely amused at the well-bred
American person who regards 1t as i'm.
polite to talk about anything that is
interesting to himself, to refer to any.
thing that the other person does not
know, or to disagree with the ex.
pressed opinion Of another.
It is obvious that, with such limi.
tations. conversation In the real sense
of the word is quite impossible.
The unwritten law that one must
not talk Of oneself is on the face of 1t
q stupid and restricting one. Probably

NAVAL OFFICER A
TYPHOID MARY"
EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID CAME
WHENEVER THIS VICTIM WAS
ASSIGNED TO DUTY.

Washington, July IA male coun-
terpart of Typhoid Mary who appar-
emily in the best of health, caused an
outbreak of typhoid fever wherever
she went, is believed to have been
discovered in a United States naval
officer, who has been found to be a
typhoid fever germ carrier accord
ing to information which has been re-
ceived here from government health
authorities. While it is learned that
he is being attended by specialists
connected with the Rockefeller Insti-
tute of Medical Research, his identity
and where he is under treatment are
being carefully concealed by naval
officials.
The officer is apparently in the best
of health, but seems laden with ty-
phoid germs. Wherever he has been
assigned to duty there has been an
outbreak of typhoid fever. Such cases
now respond readily to treatment as
general rule, it is said.
Bacteriologists in this city said that
there was a fair chance that the naval
officer under treatment would be
cured. If he does not respond to the
treatment, he will be retired from the
navy for physical disability" it is
stated, although he is said to be an
excellent officer.

STATE QUESTIONS
READY TO FILE
FIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTS TO BE SUBMITTED AT
AUGUST PRIMARY.

Oklahoma City, July 1.-Completed
petitions, bearing approximately A.
600 signatures, asking the submission
of five constitutional amendments 20
popular vote at the August primary
will be filed with Secretary of State
Ben f. Harrison some time Thurs day
morning, according to announcement
Wednesday by j. S. Estes, Oklahoma
City attorney, who has had charge of
the campaign to secure the sigma
lures.
The amendments provide for a
smaller legislature, one supreme

maximum state levy at 1-2 mills,
and placing restrictions on the legis-
lature in making appropriations, max
ing drunkenness on the part of a
state official grounds for impeach-
ment, and removal from office, and
a gross production tax on oil and gas
Probably the most important of the
proposed amendments and the one
around which centers the most in
terest is that which proposes a re-
duction in the size of the legislative
body of the state government. Brief
ly summarized the amendment pro-
vides for one house of eighty mem
bers to be styled "the house of rep
resentatives" and a subordinate body
of fifteen members, to be styled Com
missioners" to be selected from tine
house of representatives and which,
with the lieutenant governor, shall
succeed to all powers now conferred
or the senate and house of repre-
sentatives.
If the amendment is adopted at the
August primary it shall become effect
i've the third Tuesday in January,
1915, and the forthcoming legislature,
which will be nominated in August
and elected in November, will be
vested with the authority of selecting
the commissioners, who will receive
$1,000 year FOR their services as well
as the house of representatives
That part of the amendment with
reference to that phase of the ques-
ton states:
This amendment shall become ei-
fective on the third Tuesday in Jan
uary 1915. The first house of rep
resentatives shall be chosen from
among the membership of the legis-
lative assembly in regular session, on
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in January, 1915, as follows: The
house shall choose fifty of its mem
bers and the senate thirty of its
members, as nearly as is possible,
according to the political and geo
graphical representation of parties
and counties therein under such reg
ulations as each house shall provide,
and the eighty members so chosen
shall convene in regular session on
the next succeeding day after this
act becomes effective, and shall serve
for the same period for which mem
bers of the house were originally
elected. and at the same compensa-
tion, except that those members chos-
en- as commissioners shall receive
$1,000 a year each with mileage at 10
cents a mile for distances actually
