The Seventh army corps, including the Third Nebraska has been ordered from Jacksonville to Savannah, thence to Cuba. A thousand lives are said to have been lost by fire at Hankow, China, a square mile of the city having been de stroyed, including the government build ing and temple. Yellow fever has a firm grip on the state of Mississippi, and nothing but frost is relied upon to save the state from devastation. Seventeen counties are now afflicted. The governor has ap pealed to the general government for re lief. m TnEHE are some of us who have a very lively recollection of those who opposed tbe war of the rebellion, and there are persons here now who are opposed to President McKinley's general line of conducting the war against Spain, but it will have to prevail, as it ought to do. J. A. Duxs for senator is a weak can didate. He made a poor one two years ago and will make a poorer one this time. His party did not want him. They wanted Sprecber and as a conse quence will not all vote for him. P. J. Murphy has a walk-a-way this time. Schuyler Sun. The false "economists" feed the blind, feeble-minded, insane, orphans and old soldiers a very pure grade of packing house oleomargarine, but they provide their own tables with a good grade of butter. It is not known for a certainty yet whether or not it also comes from Missouri. Wahoo Wasp. An unsuccessful attempt was made Friday morning about 7, to wreck the west-bound Union Pacific passenger train at a bend in the road about three miles cast of Brady. Antony O'Donald has been arrested. This curve was the scene of the hold-up by the Knudson brothers, several years ago, for which they are now serving time in the peni tentiary. Secbetabt Porter says that no one who knows him would ever think of im pugning his motives; from which we as sume that he has a high opinion of Mr. Porter. However, the voters have a right to believe that his campaign cards were not intended to imply that his pre . decessor was scrupulous about turning in fees that belonged to the state. To be sure nothing was said to that effect, but the cards were worded with the evident intent of leaving strong grounds for conjecture. And conjecture is n pop's long suit.

MUSTER OUT OFFICERS Major General Breckinridge at the Head of List. WILL BE SU00EEDED BY WILSON OkmhI Wheeler, Who Will Command rewth Cerpa, Expesta to Resume Hb Seat la the Heaae Soea After Congress Heats Oeaeral Grahata Retired as a r Oeaeral Other Changes. WasHTJfOTON, Oct. If. Thcorderdes hjnating the general officers to bs mus tered oat of service, dated Oct. 7, was published officially yesterday and at the head of the list is Major General Joseph O.

General Wheeler, who will command the Fourth corps, stated before leaving Washington that he expected to resume his seat in the house soon after it met. General Graham, who is to command the Second corps, has retired as a bri gadier general, and the question has arisen as to whether he shall be con tinned longer in the volunteer service. The attorney general has rendered an opinion that there is no reason why he should not, but there is a feeling among army officers that this would not be al together fair to the young men, and it is probable that Generals John C. Bates and A. R. Chaffee, later on will succeed to the command of the Second and Fourth corps, and General Wilson will continue to command the First corps. For Moaey and a Wife.

Way to Washing ton to Slake Rc-port. Havana, Oct. 11, Louis Kemp ner, United States postal agent at Santiago, arrived here on his way to Washington, where he is to call on mat ters relating to the postal service. He reports that the concentration of Spanish troops at Cienfuegos is being actively pursued, abont 1,500 men being brought there weekly from the ports between Manzanillo and Cienfuegos on the south coast. Mr. Kempner visited the Spanish post offices at Manzanillo, Tanas 'and Cien fuegos. and will make a report on their condition, suggesting radical improve ment in the system. A meeting will be held in a few days, it is said, in Havana province of all the commanders of the Cuban army. General Maximo Gomez will preside. The meeting will have .significance as deciding the future pol icy of the Cuban army on.the island. The Western railway of Havana, has made a reduction of 50 per cent, in ths charge for transporting the Cuban troops.

The club's furni ture will be sold, one-third oi the pro ceeds going to the public orphan asy lum of Havana, and the other two-thirds to the asylum for the orphans of sol diers of Spain. last evening shortly before midnight representatives of the local cab companies and livery stables assembled at the office of the civil gov ernor, where they had been summoned with a view to heading off a strike that threatened for the day. Senor de Cas tro, the civil governor, addressed them collectively and individually, and suc ceeded in persuading them to abandon their proposed strike. This morning tho delegates called upon the mayor, who subsequently had a conference with Senor de Castro. The crisis was created by, the demands of the cab companies for higher fares in view of the depreciation of silver. Their demands were well founded, and it is likely that the mayor will himself authorize the demanded increase al though he repudiated it a week ago, al though granted by Senor de Castro. The Spanish paymaster geneaal pub lished a notice to persons in the naval, military and civil service announcing that beginning today monthly pay ments will be re-established, but there will still be four months' arrears out standing. Criticise Americans. Manila, Sept. 1 (via San Francisco) Oct. 11. The Spanish newspapers in Manila are revelling in an unprece dented atmosphere of freedom and criti cise the American authorities in a way they never would have dared to criti cise their own government, for tho Spanish censor has now joined the great army of unemployed and the United States army censor confines his atten tion to cablegrams going abroad. He will not, he says, permit a word to be said in any way derogatory to the United States army or authorities, but he takes no notice of violent, inflamma tory distribes daily exciting the people of the Philippines. He lets Spaniards say what they like to their readers, while he refuses to trust the American people and loyal American journalists. Husband Held for Murder. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 11. Tho body of Mrs. J. J. Kunkel, whose husband is now under arrest, charged with having poisoned her to secure the insurance covering her life, has been cxluuvxl for examination. Arsenic was used to em balm the body and the examination is to determine whether the arsenic found in the stomach was separate from that used in the embalming. A feeling in favor of Kunkel has developed in the last 24 hours and the officers now are even in clined to believe that it will bo hard to convict him of the charges against him. A telegram was received from Seattle, Wash., asking if Kunkel needed any as sistance in any way, proffering financial or any other aid that might be needed. Roosevelt Meets labor Leaders. New York, Oct. 11. Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt took lunch today with Messrs. Weissmann of the Bakers' union, White of the United Garment Workers' union, and Derflinger of the Typographical union.

The express companies from several western cities met here and agreed to act together in suppressing train robbery. Plans to that end were agreed upon, but will be kept secret.

LEXJNQfON, Ky., Oct. 11. As a re mit of the killing of a private in the Twelfth New York regiment by Pro vost Guard Kitchen Sunday night 300 or 400 members of that regiment formed a mob last night and seized a train at Camp Hamilton with the intention of coming to town on it and raiding the county jail for the purpose of taking Kitchen out and lynching him. Gen eral Wiley and Colonel Leonard were quickly notified of the uprising and they suppressed the mob by the most radical and prompt action. The outbreak was not unexpected and tLojil was heavily guarded. The provost guard iu the city was also doubled. It is believed that the prompt- measures that were taken have prevented what promised to be a very serious affair. At a late hour the excitement was in creasing. General Wiley sent a bat talion under Captain Holbrook to stop the mob and turn it back. The captain ordered the soldiers to return to camp. A corporal shouted, "All who do are cowards!" Holbrook asked him from what regiment he belonged and he shouted, "The Big Four!" When Hol brook protested that was no way to ad dress an officer, the soldier replied sharply. Holbrook grabbed him, when tho soldier shot at Holbrook, but missed him. The soldier then fled. Many of tho Twelfth New York had to be clubbed into submission. The Eighth Massachusetts is placed as a guard around Camp Hamilton. The mob began again to form in town and the One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana was sent with ordei s to shoot to kill if resistance was made. Over 600 arrests have already been made. Kitchen still fears a lynching. The officers say Kitchen will unques tionably get the death sentence. When he shot Nygren he was under orders not to even have his gun loaded. It is said Colonel Leonard of the Twelfth New York was tho principal promoter of the mob. The matter will be thor oughly investigated tomorrow. President Leaves Caaton. Canton, Oct. 11. President McKin ley boarded tho Omaha special at 9:20 last night and reached Chicago at 7 o'clock this morning, leaving an hour later on the Northwestern rood.

Cortelyon. Postmaster Gen eral Smith and Secretary Gage are ex pected to join the party at Omaha. Governor Shaw of Iowa and his staff will take the train at Clinton, la., in order to be present at the exposition on Wednesday, President's Day. Slot Machine 'Phone Illegal. Chicago, Oct. 11. In an opinion ren dered to the judiciary committee of the city council, Corporation Counsel Thorn ton holds that the slot machine tele phone as used by the Chicago Telephone company is illegal. Counsel Thornton contends that the company has no right to charge any extra to an outsider for the use of the telephone when the com pany is already being paid by the party renting the telephone, and leaves it to the option of the latter whether he shall make an extra charge or not. Bailway Employes Killed. Boone, la., Oct. 11. Superintendent Leisure of Clinton, and F. C.

RESULT OF TH0B0UGH CLEANING Major Barber, Who Is at Head of Street Cleaning Department, Has Had Six Hun dred Men Eagaged In Carting Away Filth of Generation, Which Is Burned. General Wood Advises Investor. Santiago, Cuba, Oct. 11. The health of the United States troops now in the province of Santiago has consid erably improved, not more than 10 per cent now being on the sick list. Most of the cases of indisposition now are merely light malarial fevers. Yellow fever has been practically stamped out of the dry by the systematic cleaning process put in operation. For several weeks Major Barber, who is at the head of the street cleaning department, has had 600 men engaged in carting away the filth of generations, which is burned. General Wood has shown wonderful executive ability. General Lawton is well satisfied with the soldierly qualities displayed by his men since they have been here, and all reports from other places in the prov ince as to the behavior of the American troops are satisfactory. There has been very little drunkenness, which when one remembers that as a soldier pu;s it, "Drink is cheap and you are always thirsty," is really remarkable. General Wood advises investors not to como to Cuba if they intend their in vestments to take the form of land pur chase, as the records and archive? have been left in a shocking state by the Spanish authorities. A man with a little capital here would do well with a steam laundry, an American bakery, or a small store with good groceries. Such enterprises could be made to pay from the outstart. This month is the last of the rainy season here. With November comes fine weather with cool winds and good health. The dath rate in Santiago has de creased six fold, though as a rule the end of September shows heavy mortality- Seaator Kyle Has Recovered. Cleveland, Oct. 11. Senator Kyle of South Dakota, who was stricken with paralysis at the Forest City house here some weeks ago, has so far recovered that he will leave for Washington on Thursday. It was his original intention to go from Cleveland to Chicago, where the first meeting of the non-partisan in dustrial commission, of which he was chairman, was scheduled to be held on Monday, Oct. 17. During the last week, however, the place of meeting was changed at the solicitation of the ma- ' lOnCTOC who thought Waeh- iBgtonwouidi a more central point. ,8enator Kyi therefore, -deferred to their wishes the meeting will he held in Wi Oct. 17. Mr. A.D. Tinsley, Sena Kyle's private secre- tary, said thai he widely circulated re- ports as to thei tor's change of front on the money ineetion was false, and that he was an1 out and out free silver Adaslraqrehlagor Dead.
