THE GERMAN ARMY '
MANOEUVRES.
Fjrankfurt-on-tiie-oder, Sept.
11. The Emperor's guests are
growing accustomed to early rising.
This morning their special train
left Frankfurt at a quarter past 4,
while it was still quite dark. The
party arrived at Tempel shortly af
ter 6, and mounting, their horses
madefor a hillock hard by, whence
an extensive view of the field was
obtainable.
The sun was just rising when an
attack began along the whole line.
The Emperor today assumed the
command of the Blue or defending
army. I he idea was that the Red
qr invading arm', which j-esterday
drove back the Blue, had sent off
cavalry to j obtain" reinforcements,
the Blue having been strongly re
inforced during the night. The Red
cavalry divisions lay to the north
east, and the Emperor's object was
to outflank the Red, thitheeto
victorious armv, with the Bluecav
airy and fallupon them while they
were retreating.
At an earlv hour the Empress
rode on to the field and, as the cav
alry flanking movement was ob
served, galloped off with the um
pires and their staff, Lord Roberts,
and the other visitors, to an emin
ence behind the Red army, where
the cavalry charge was exacted.
Early in the day masses of cavalry
! ed by shapnel fire, and having only
! harfre would now be effective
c
; a handful of cavalry, were retiring,
1 ' , -nf. .
j Reds, the cavalry, some 8,000 in all
came fufl uallop upon the rear.flank
r- i i
! of the Reds, of the enemv, the
Emperor, on his Arab charger, lead
1 ' w ,
ling, ihe squadrons. 01 cavalry,
wheeling in upon the Reds, passed
through a heavy infantry fire for
about five minutes, then, opening
up in a line extending over a mile,
eharged the enemy's guns and in-
! fantrv. riding bewleen them. The
unnm ,t iU
cd were audible for miles .Some of
the guests, among them Generals
Youngand Wood, of the United
, r i, i
States Array, joined in the charge
jand rode through the gun.
From a spectacular standpoint
the dav's proceedings were magnifi-
cent and unsurpassed by anything
that had gone before. The "charge
,w, thunu nml nWn.firo''
was sounded. The weather was
again favourable". Beyond the Joss
of a couple of horses no untoward
incidents are reported. The cavalry
had ridden round upwards of 12
miles before charging.
Shortly after the final attaek the
uni0rm with orders: Mr. Eagle:
Lord Lonsdal in a Yeom;lniy un.

norm; and the American generals
form, as well as the foreign at-
es, rode back to Temple station,

Lord Reberts and the Emperor's
other guests again dined at ihe

of Prussia, who today acted as Ghiei

THE PRESIDENT'S LEG
Another Slight Operation-Necessary
to Relieve Swelling. ,
Washington, D. C, Sept. 28.
Another operation was performed
today on the abscess on the left Jeg
of President Roosevelt. In the form
er operation a simple needle was
used to relieve the 'trouble, but to
day the surgeons with a knife inade
an incision into the small cavity,
exposing the bone, which was found
to be slightly affected. The Presi
dent's case has been progressing
satisfactorily, but -it is believed, by
the physicians that the further
operation made today will hasten
his complete recovery.
While none of the doctors are
willing to be quoted, they all give
the most positive assurances that
there is not. the least cause for alarm,
and say, on -the contrary, there is
I every indication of a speedy recov-
. that the area of the bone af
fected is very slight and will not
result in an impairment of the
President's limb, and that there is
no evidence whatever of any matter
I that would produce blood poison
ing. They confidently expect that
the President will be on his feet
within a reasonable time and with
his -robust constitution to assj.-l
recovery soon will be himself again.
GREAT SALT. LAKE
IS DOOM;ED:
It appea'i that the .Great Salt
lake, in Utall is doomed., Weather
bureau officials. announce that theH
i waters of tl
lake are rapidly re
ceding, ffnd that unless there .is a
large increase 'in the. rainfall of
t!at region the lake must eventual
ly dry up. Local observers declare
that even an ' increased rainfall
would have no permanent effect in
staying the drying-up process. The
lake in the last fqn years has reced
ed seven or eight feet. Wet seasons
do not seem to have made much
difference, the receding of the wa-
toft; rr n rr r cffl.i l i 1 it fVi-vnrr. r-l.T-
ly, year by year. The lake is the
great survivor of a largemumber of
salt lakes, some of them much
greater in extent. They flowed over
a large part of the western and
southwestern territory, and left be
hind in some instances inmense de
posits of salt, which are now being
converted to commercial uses. There
are spots not so very distant from
Salt lake where almost pure salt
can be dug up for many feet below
ihe surface, and the vast alkali
plains of the southwest were un
doubtedly covered with salt water
at one time. It is supposed that
Salt lake was once a part of the
ocean. The drying up of the lake
! seems a misfortune because the lake
has so long been an object of inter
est and curiosity. It is Really use
ful, however, more for the salt that
can be extracted from its waters
than on any other account, and
these deposits can be more "easily
worked after the waters have , sub
sided than now.
EDITORIAL HOiSOR.
The New. "Voice, "a journal of
good citizenship," published at Chi
cagot in" its last .issue preaches a
forceful sermon on rtThe Sale of
Newspaper Opinions," It sent out
through Clarence T. Johnson of
Washington, D. CL, decoy letters to
between five and six hundred Texas
editors in regard to proposed pub
lication of "Anti-Prohibition write
ups" to be paid for as news matter
"without advertising marks of any
kind," also as "editorial." Of the
editors written to 168 agreed to
publish the matter. The New Voice
publishes a list of the ' names of
these papers and publishers under
the caption "Price-List of Editorial
Honor." In its editorial on thi:
influence of the press the Voice
says:
"It is conceded upon all hands
that the newspaper is one of the
most important factors, if not the
most important factor, in the for
mation of public opinion. As a
people we are influenced mightily
by what we read. National action
is almost the direct reflection of the
attitude of tiie more influential por
tion of the press. It follows with
out argument that honesty, good
faith and high morals, important
as they may be elsowhere, are supremely-important
in the office o5
a newspaper."
The Voice is right. The "peo
ple are influenced mightily by the
press" and should never be led
astray by it. Honesty should be
the one slogan ofteerr newspaper
publisher. Yoakum Times.
RAMIE HIS HOBBT.
The Late, General Pacheco Took an
: Interest in the Fibre.
'The announcement that an Amer
ican .company of capitalists has or
ganized for the purpose of cultivat
ing in this country and making a
commercial article of ramie, whicli
grows wild all through the sub
tropical regions of the republic in
a rank, weedlike profusion, calls to
mind that ramie was one of the pe
hobbies of General Pachecot minis
ter of fomento.'
Believing that the despised" and
unused weed had before ft a great
future, the general engaged experts
tp engage in its cultivation, spin
ning and dyeing in a small way oa
his own plantations, himself defray
ing all expenses of the experiments.
The fibre was spun by hand in&o
threads which could have been
made much finer had machinery
been employed. In texture the:
threads were tough and strong,
with a gloss and ilneness strongly
resembling silk. Just as the thread
was ready to be woven into,, cloth
the brave general died and the
work was carried no farther, but
the product of the experiments
is still preserved. Mexican Herald-
UNIQUE MONUMENT. -
In Mount Hope cemetery at Lo
gansport' Ind., is one of the queer
est monuments ever erected. Wil
liam T. Reichter was a ditch con
tractor. Death came to him whiles
he was wearing a broad brimmed
hat, a mackintosh over his suit of
clothes, and his trouser legs were
in his rubber boots. The members
of his family, 'wishing to remember
hint as he looked when last he bade
them gooby, employed a man to
have his picture taken in the clothes
last worn by Mr. Reichter. They
replaced the head on the pothograph
by the head of a likeness of? Mr
Reich ter taken several weeks before
he died. This done, the picture was
sent to a sculptor in Italy ?and a
life size statue made from it inltal
lian marble. The monument cost
$5,000. Chicago Tribune.
