Major General Corbin will finbt tlie
tUtd battle of Bull Run. The «en-
eral ataff of the army is now ennaged
upon Improving the strategy of Gen
eral “Stonewall” Jackson in whatts
regarded by military strateglsU a&the
most masterly campaign of the civil
war.
From Portland, Me., which never
came nearer to war than seeing In the
offing Spanish HeetS which never ex
isted, the army manoeuvers will be
transferred this year to Manassas,
Va., which still bears the marks of
the heavy blows.dealt by blue and
gray forty-two years ago.
For the tirsttimean opportunity
vyill be afforded for effective compari
sons between the old army which
fought and the new army which -hr
being trained to fight. Can the mod
ern armament and the methods of
transportation which have developed
forty years from the days when Pope
and Lee raced from their respective
bases to the battle ground change the
result of their manoeuvers? Twenty-
two thousand modern soldiers will be
used to test the prowess of the ancient
armies of the rebellion and prove
what would have happened had the
commanders whose names made his
tory possessed Krag-Jorgensen rifles,
Dougerty, wagons and the new army
Held gun.
It Is probable that no field of any
of the great Southern conflicts cohid
have been selected which has suffered
so little change as the low-lying land
in the Valley jof Northern Virginia
between Thoroughfare Gap ana the
Potomac.
There have been few alterations In
the generaLmake up and characteris
tics of Manassas since the rear guard
of General Popp’s army fell back to
Washington. Railroad lines and roads
which afforded the old combatants
their only methods of transportation
other than that afforded by the coun
try roads have not changed. The lines
Shown upon the map of IHOd are siill
unchanged, except that upon what
was the left flank of the Northern
army there has b^en constructed a
road between Alexander and Freder
icksburg, and a line across what was
the base of the Southern army from
Fredericksburg to Charlottesville
Theae latter lines would so materially
have affected the operations of the
oivtl war that it is probable, If the
general staff follows its plan of repro
ducing the campaign of 18(12, they
will be barred by the umpire.
Eighteen thousand regular army
troops and four thousand militiamen
from various Eastern states will par
ticipate In the operations, which will
continue from September f> to 20.
This is the largest body of regulars
and militia gathered for manoeuvres
in the history of the United States.
The fieldr of Bull Run, Bristow Sta
tlon, Milford and Manassas Junction
will again be trod by armed soldiers.
The same strategic points which play
ed such a vital part In the contest of
military science waged between Gen
eral John Pope, the Federal leader,
and General Robert E. Lee, Confeder
ate, stand the same today as In 1862.
Major General Henry C. Corbin,
commanding the division of the At
lantic, will b«b in supreme command.
Lleutant General Adna R. Chaffee,
chief of staff, whose actual lighting
service in Cuba, the Phillippines and
China in tbe last few years is fresh In
mind, will observe the manoeuvres,
military attaches of foreign govern
ments will witness the evolutions.
Convenient as the scene of lighting
Will be to Washington and Baltimore,
and even Philadelphia and New York,
thousands of onlookers are expected
to find their way thither. Already
Inquiries that pour In upon the war
department show that many an old
veteran who fought in the cam
paign of August, 1862,' Intends to see
how the soldiers of today will handle
themselves on the flghting ground.
To this day wherever the veterans
of the campaign of the great rebellion
cupatlon secondary to that which
they make their living, are better
<able to leave their offloee and abope
during the / dull summer months.
When the wheelf, of commerce and
industry begin to limber up in Sep
tember it is not so easy for them to
absent themselves from the city.
Thus the militia representation will
be smaller than if the manoeuvres
were held In July: That month, If
made the period for this mimlo war-
Un\ would undoubtedly result In not
a few fatalities from sunsttoke. Vir
ginia is sn extremely hot place in the
middle of summer, almost too tropi
cal for military operations of this
character.
General Corbin believes that al
though the militia wlH not be able to
remanin throughout the fifteen days
to be devoted to tbe manoeuvres,
regiments from New York, hardened
by tbelr work in the summer encamp
ments at Peekshlir would be able to
leave New,York on ’fast treep train
Friday night of each week and be in
Manassas before daybreak, thus ob-
ta'nlng Saturday and Sunday for
work In the held, and they would be
again in New York on Monday.
SCALDED TO DEATH.

LATS ARE HOTBEVL.
Terrible Death of a Little Olrl In the
^ f ' Mill Village, .v
The Columbia State says a pathetic
death occurred Thursday morning in
a tenement home of the Olympia mill
village when little 6-year-old Lessle
Weaver was released from pain.
Her suffering had been intense for
10 hours. The evening before she
and her 11-year-old brother left their
'home to meet their father on his re-’’
turn from work, and as they were
crossing ‘ Hot brknch,” below the ex
haust from the big mill engines,
Lessle slipped on the log and fell Into
thje hot water. rlc r brave little
brother went to her and succeded in
pulling her out from the almost scaid-
Ingustream. The little girl was car
ried to her home and a physician did
all in his power to minister to tbe
child’s silent suffering. At Intervals
during the night she would whisper,
“Papa, 1 am cornin’ to meet you."
And these were the last words, little
Lessle spoke before she passed away.
Mr. E. J. Waver, tbe father, works
in tne Olompla mill. His home on
Ashley avenue is nearly a mile from
the factory. His two little children
frequently met him returning from
work, but this was tbe first time they
had gone so far and they had never
attempted to cross “Hot branch’^be-
fore. The father aid not kont
the catastrophe until he arrived from
his work a half hour later.
Fortunately Dr. S. F. Williams
happijped to be at a nearby teheffient
and attended the girl, without any
delay. Tbe burns extended over tbe
entire body and shortly the epidermis
pealed off. Dr. Williams stated
Thursday night that be did every
thing he could to relieve tbe. child of
pain, but notwithstanding this her
suffering was severe until the end 10
hours later.
Thig little one’s remains were buried
Friday afternoon in tbe Granby
burial grounds, south of Olympia
mill. ' ‘ „ .. ^
“Hot branch” is so called because
its- water is Heated by ihe stream
coming out of tbe exhaust pipes from
tbe mill engines nearby. Why, if }t
Is so dangerous, it has not been cover
ed over is a question which will now
likely be Investigated.

Whatever may be the fate of tbe
Democratic Presidential ticket to be
nominated at St. Louis In July,
Democrats in Congress believe they
have a chanoe of controlling the next
House of Representatives, and they
will make a determined and aggres
sive fight to aocompllsh that end.
Tbe Republican leaders, while not
conceding there is tbe slightest prob- w00 ^ c [ ft y
ability of a Democratic House majori
ty in tbe Fifth-ninth Congress^will
take no chances, and are preparing to
wage an active campaign in every
close Congressional district.
There Is In the present Congress a
Republiean majority of thirty-four.
Could the Democrats hold the dis
tricts they now have
eighteen of the districts now repre
sented by Republicans, they would
have a majority in the next Congress.
The Republicans assert this is impos
sible. The Democrats contend that
it not only Is posslple, but Is probable.
Tbe Republicans are anxious to in
crease tbelr majority in the House.
During the session of Congress just
closed, the margin on account of ab
senteeism, was often too close for
comfort.
To tbe Middle *West the Republi
cans are looking for their gains.
There are districts In Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois now represented by Dem
ocrats, which, they believe they can
carry. .
“ Judge Wade, who rtepresents the
Eleventh Iowa district, is the. only
Democrat from that State in the
House. The Republican leaders have
practically decided to npmlnkte A. F.
Dawsoq, now private secretary to
Senator Allison, to make the race
against him, and bClieve they can
carry the district. Judge Wade had

Tbe campaign of 1863 was fought

General Stonewall Jackson when be
fought two armies in the same day
beyond Thoroughfare Gap at points
fifteen miles of red clay apart and
won tbe strategy of tbe game of 1862.
Cooperation of militia with regular
troops, which forms the basic princi
ple j)t tbe national scheme of defense,
afforded thorough operation
in theae manoeuvres. General Cor
bin vxeoently went to Virginia to
make arrangements for obtaining per-
mimlon to operate upon -the land de
sired as flghting ground. Property
owners told him the army oould be
gin to'operate there tbe first week In
September, when tbe harvest will
have been completed and there will
be no danger to crops from tbe march
of Infantry, cavalry and artillery.
But this date, although it bap tbe ad

farmers, has its drawbacks. Most of

The law In regard to the transpor
tation of freight promptly has just
gone into effect. It was probably
the hardest fought bill of tbe legisla
ture and was the last signed by the
governor. The law provides a penalty
for the unnecessary delay of freight.
The schedule is from midnight of
the day the freight Is received; not
over 100 miles, 72 hour!; 100 to 200
miles, 120 hours. Tbe nearest route
by rail is taken at tbe distance bev
tween points. If prompt shipment is
wanted, the company must stamp tbe
notice on tbe bjll of lading. ~ '7
The second section of the act Is:
“That any such company falling to
comply with the provisions of this
act, except for good and sufficient
cause, the burden of proving which
shall be on tbe company so failing,
shall be subject, in addition to the
liabilities snd remedies now existing
for unreasonable delay In the trans
portation of freight, to a penalty of
So a day for every day of delay in ex-
cesss of the time hereinbefore limited,'
to be recovered by any consignee who
may lie injured in any way by such

the sum of the penalties received
shall cot exceed tbe value o£
goods and transportation charges
thereon: Provided, further, That
any such company shall within ten
days after demanding in writing
therefor by any consignee of delayed
freight, or tbe owner or ljbider of the
of lading, furnish a statement in
specifying the date of its re

that by tbe exercise of due diligence

that any Republicans will be elected

Should such a situation arise, how
ever, it is possible the Republicans
would lose In tbe West any advantage
Democratic losses In tbe South might
give them. Should party alignment in
-a- number of Western States go back
to where i^'was before tbe WM-

The Democrats have large plans for
capturing tbe next House, and they
count on different channels of politi
cal thought to help them in different
parts of the country.
Not only have tbe Democrats mark

Babcock had a plurality of more than

When the second session of the Fifty

that the sun of the appropriations of

• CULTIVATE CROPS EARLY.
Farmers cannot begin tbe cultiva-'
tlon of their corn and cotton too early.
Weeds and grass are going to come up
The best and most; effective working
may be given with a barrow or weed-
er and befofe tbe seeds are up. Then
missionaries are needed all over, the
land to Impress farmers with the idea
that keeping crops clean is not the
only object in working them. Killing
grass Is -a mere-Incident. If there
was not a grass seed in a field the
cultivation would be necessary. By
Stirring the top soil air and sunlight
get into it and evaporation is cut off.
The moisture below, instead of .escap
ing in tbe air, goes to tbe roots of the
plants and keeps the ^ plant food In
soluble, form. Letna one-get it into
his bead that be will work bis crop a
certain number of times and no more.
After every rain it/would be well to
run over the land.end break the crust.
Of course, if tbe showers fall several
days in succession, that cannot bb
done. These expanding birrows or
cultivators are excellent on smooth
land. One may Clean a corn or cot--
ton row at one run. By running close
tb one side this week and then close
to tbe other tbe next it will keep the
top soil broken all tbe time. Never
plow corn deep after it begins to send
out the lateral roots across the rows.
The shallower tbe better." Begin in
time, work often, keep at it. Never
let a bard crust form in tbe mi Idles.
THE CROW SEASON.
At this time of the year a thought
less farmer will lose a day or two
bunting and destroying a crow's nest.
He will also fret and fume because a
few crows light in bis corn field early
in tbe morning and destroy a pint of
two of grubs and worms. The crow
has a bad name, not on account of the
company he keeps, for he is very aris
tocratic and quite particular about
his associates. It may be ,^18 color
that has bfought him inte- disrepute
amongst farmers, fof~it is certainly
not the harm heUbes. The fact is
the crpw is very much Hke his enemy,
man.. He has an idea that the farm
er ought to strike a balance sheet and
place his good deeds over on the credit
side against bis wrong doing. Tbe ac
count would stand about this way:
On tbe credit side would be thousands
of bugs, worms and injurious insects
destroyed. On tbe other side would
be only a few bills of corn pulled up
and a few watermelons pecked Spare
tbe crows. They do more good than
harm. Cut worms, bud worms and
other Insects destroy fifty times as
much corn as the crows do.

It is the philosophy of life to bear

When I was a girl just entering my
teens, a clean hearted, upright^moth
erly neighbor madjean afternoon visit
to my bouse and told the painful story
of the downfall of her daughter to my
mother’s sympathizing ears. The
tragedy, the mother’s grief, the awful
blight that fell on tbit home, on her
young sisters, on the parents, on her
poor self, was my first view of tbe
awful suffering such conduct might
and would entail on those who saw
such youth, love and friendship die
cruel and unnatural death.
Now, was 1$ a sin When that poor
mother walled aloud, ‘‘UbTwby didn’t
she die when she was a dear, -sweet
little baby?”
After tbe grief-stricken mother left,
and my own dear mother clasped me
in her arms and warned me of tbe
evils and temptations to which that
poor young woman had succumbed, is
it'a 'marvel that I have always felt
that such misery was tbe deepest sor
row and tbe blackest gloom tbatoould
ever fall on any pure hearted mother’s
life?
If the poor creature bad filed in in
fancy how the tears would have fall
en, and her memory would have been
cherished! But she outlived, out
wore, outraged tbe patience, tbe af
fection apd tbe comfort of those who
have died gladly to have made her
the clean once more.

and while on his deathbed, following
an operatian, be asked her to keep
troth with him, and ahe did. Since be

bed marriage of Bradford McGregor
and Miss Schlemmer was one of the
sensations of New York In 1902. Tbe

tbe dark hallway with a gruff demand
for bis money and diamonds, and a pis

was ordered to bold up bis bands.
Dr. Crimm was taken completely by
surprise and as be was unarmed at^
tbe time there was nothing else to do
except to surrender for the time be

grasped the necktie of Dr. Crimm,
where be usually wears a diamond pin,
and then demanded his diamond ring,
placing his weapon near his victim’s
temple. He grasped tbe right hand
of Dr. Crimm, on which he wore a
ruby ring, and in getting it off tbe

The secret trouble, the bidden an
