STATION AGENT SUICIDES.

\ R. J. Arrasmith, for Twenty-Five
years past station agent at Straw
berry Point, committed suicide on
Monday morning, by firing a bullet
into his brain, death resulting a few
hours after the wound was inflicted.
Reports have been current that Mr..
Arrasmith had been requested to re-
sign the position, and it is thought
that breeding over the prospective
discharge affected his mental facul-
ties. and prompted the act Of self
destruction. He leaves wife and
five children. to whom the sympathy
of the community goes out.

CHICKEN THIEVES BUSY.

A number of farmers wives in the
northern part Of the county have
suffered losses because Of visits on
the premises by chicken thieves. IN
former season thieves contend them
selves by taking such poultry as was
fit for market. This year it appears
that in most of the instances 1t was
the little chicks that We're taken.
We were told that from one farm
about two hundred young chickens
were taken in one night, and at
several other farms smaller numbers 1 H
were stolen. 81.

MAY CHANGE COLOR OF UNI
FORMS. 5.S 81 "a

On account of this country. being
unable to come to an understanding
with Germany, sufficient enough to
warrant the Importation here Of Ger
man dyes, it is expected that in the
future the color of the uniforms of
our country's soldiers will be
changed. ..a2. ss.,. e. .-;%5{s|s,; ,;%{| Il,
Adjutant General Guy E. Logan, Of
the Iowa National Guard, has sent
in to headquarters requisition for
1900 additional uniforms for the To-
wa National Guard. .,. l.- g- ~
If the requisition is honored 1t may
be the last which the Iowa militia
will receive. The Army and Navy
Journal; says that our military Off
GERS are figuring to use a new uni
form for j, the. regular army and the
militia, as the dyes necessary for the
olive drab uniforms are unobtainable
from Germany, and American scien-
lists do not know the secret formula.
%, Washington dispatches have told
OF negotiations between this country
and Germany being off as far as re-
ceiving importations Of the needed
dyes is concerned.
Should new uniforms be adopted 1t
is probable that those used by the
state military companies and by the
regular army will be identical. The
authorities are figuring now upon a
mixed black and white cloth effect,
and are attempting to mix the colors
so they will blend with the average
landscape. Nothing definite has yet
