NOTES OF The POST

Maj. Thos. W. woodward, Brig
ade Quartermaster of Kentucky, was
stricken with nervous breakdown
late yesterday afternoon, and this
morning is confined to his bed in the
post hospital. His condition is not
believed to be serious.
The Third Regiment again left.
camp this morning on another one of
its trips into the enemy country.
This regiment has been taking hikes
every other morning. Today they
will go almost to the Licking river,
a distance of nearly ten miles.
Everybody is happy now in camp
whether they have money or not. |
With the credit-book system install
led, the soldiers can buy to their
hearts content. The canteen of the
First did over 5000 of business the
first day of its opening
The soldiers will be again treated
to a concert this afternoon. Madame
Ada Glasca, a well-known opera
singer, will sing for the boys. Ma
dame GlaSca has a rich soprano voice
and has pleased the soldiers greatly
by her singing.
Capt. Arthur Chapman, of the
Third, returned to camp yesterday.
Everybody wondered what had be.
come of the popular captain, but he
said he had been away on business.
Few officers of the Kentucky Brigade
are as well liked as this captain among
his men and the rest of the regiment
as well.
A meeting of the commanding Of
iicerS of the three regiments and
Japt. Dunning S. Wilson, of the
Field Hospital Corps, has resulted in
plans to induce the men to save the |
money which will be paid to them, /
on. Tuesday. 1t is hoped G
encourage thrift in the guard, to belp |
he men, provide a nest egg, also to
educe the tendency to gamble in the
amp or dissipation outside. q

Valley Improvements

Constant increases noted in the number of high

In the same advertisement another statement
that would interest every dairyman IN the United
States. 1t reads "Did you see a cow that made
over 10000 pounds Of milk in a year? We will show
you four in row." Now 10000 pounds is ten tons, and
that is most remarkable milk production, and when
it is understood that Ell PasO dairy possesses
four cows each averaging over 10000 pounds annual
product Of milk, some idea may be had Of the i'm

Riot is well defined in law In no case

Invasion Of Columbus. Invasion presup-
poses a state Of war of acknowl lodged
and notorious hostility In the Colum-
bus raid similar conditions and circum-
stances prevailed as in a raid by the
James boys or the Quantreu attack on
Lawrence, Kas, in which Quantrell
killed and burned at will. and for which
the United States no more held the Con-
federate OVernment responsible than
the present administration holds the
Mexican government responsible for the
acts OF Villa. in none OF these cases of
border warfare did one government con-
slider the other liable and insurance on
property loss by fire was never re-
fused on such a puerile plea.
Any insurance company hiding behind
such a flimsy legal ADMINISTRATION is
prima facie guilty of accepting money
