Army Officer Coming
to Muster In Cavalry

Montgomery, August 15.-(SpeciaL)
The war department has been requested
to send an army officer here to begin
mastering in the troops of cavalry of
the new regiment which Major tSeiner
is raising. The officer will probably
arrive within the next week to take
charge of his end of the work.
Special dates are being arranged by
Major Steiner with the various units
of the regiment that are now organ
lied for him to visit them for inspec-
ton. The preliminary muster will be
held so as to let out all those who are
found to be unfit. This will greatly
facilitate the work of the regular mus
tering officer when he arrives.
The war department at Washington
is very enthusiastic over the fact that
whole regiment can be raised in Ala
bama, Major Steiner said Monday. He
has been given assurances of every CO.
operation on the part of the depart
ment in Fastening the work. When the
regiment is completed 1t will have Is
troops, II of cavalry, one supply troop.
one machine gun troop, and one other,
all totalling 1900 men besides officers.
Adjutant General Hubbard deserves
much credit for having aided so ma
terially in raising the regiment. He
notified the department that Alabama
could raise a regiment of cavalry, and
has been behind the move from the
start, said Major Steiner. The major
is negotiating with the best band in
the state to come In, and says he will
get it. General Bricken stated that he
will do all he can to help the new regi-
emnt organize.

found a speedy market, and although
from one point of view 1t is an invest
n,ent by Americans in American secur-
tiles nevertheless the money obtained by
the sale of these securities passed over
to the French government.
Probably. an arrangement of that kind
will be made with Great Britain. 1t
may involve the pledging of perhaps
$500, 900, 900 of American securities which
England has borrowed from her citizens.
Whatever the amount, the securities will
be out of the market during the life of
the loan. An American institution will.
with these securities as a pledge. issue
its own debenture bonds. and there
seems to be no reason to doubt that
with money as plentiful as 1t is. ca
gerly seeking short time and remunera-
tive Investment, these securities will be
Instantly absorbed by the American peo-
pie. Again the United States will have
demonstrated, for the time being at least.
that 1t is the great and really the only
free money market In the world.

ALLEGE ATTEMPT TO
WRECK MENACE PLANT
Three Bombs Are Exploded Beneath
Building Housing Anti-Catholic
Organ at Springfield, Mo.

Springfield, Mo-, July 29.-Three
bombs exploded beneath the floor of
the Menace publishing plant at Auro-
ra, Mo-, at AIS o'clock this morning,
Slightly damaged the publishing COM
pany plant and set fire to a mass of
copies of the Menace, an anti-Catholic
publication, just off the press.
The first explosion, quickly followed
by another, occurred beneath a press
which had just completed the Missouri
edition of the Menace. In four min
utes another bomb was exploded.
The explosions set fire to the papers
fresh from the folder, but it was
quickly extinguished.
1t has not been determined how the
bombs were set or exploded. 1t was
possible for persons to have crawled
beneath the building by way of chan
nels which had been cut for the lay
ing of heating pipes and electrical
wiring.
Marion Brown, managing editor OF
the Menace, expressed the opinion that
the person who caused the explosion
had entered window in the rear OF
the publishing company's building.
"The man then apparently went
downstairs into the basement" said
Mr.. Brown. "a hole had been left in
the wall so that plumbers and cleo
tricians might work under the main
floor of the building. The intruder
must have crawled through this and
placed the bombs directly under the
presses"
A reward of 81 900 was offered by
Mr., Brown for the arrest of the per-
son responsible for the explosion.
The Menace building is a two-story
brick structure with a frontage OF
100 feet and a depth of $50 feet. The
pressroom is so feet long and so feet
wide. and is in the southeast corner of
the building on the ground floor.
John Ray, night Waterman; was
called to the second floor Of the build
ing few seconds before the explosion
by a noise which appeared to come
from the upper part Of the building.
He was on the second floor when the
first explosion occurred and hastily
left the building to call the fire de-
partment.

American Orange Production.

Although sweet oranges were known
in Florida previous to the Civil war,
they were not considered of CONNER
cial Importance because of the abb
sence of transportation facilities. Com
mercial orange culture dates back to
between 1865 and 1870, when the sue.
cess of the trees along the banks Of
the st. Johns river began to attract
attention to this industry as good
investment. Inasmuch as profits were
large from the first, many financial
leaders were readily attracted to the
industry, SO that 1895 saw 100000
boxes of oranges produced.
