"The ciarvelous development In modern arras, rifles, ma hine guns and quick-tiring field artillery, renders, the cavalry as formerly used on the battlefield obsolete, while the wonderful development in the use of motor power and electrical appliauces lias rsudred the horse far less important than formerly. These facts are doubly significant, and should be recognized by the military authorities and the government. "There is. however, a corps or force required in our army that could be rendered of great utility, not only to the military, but to the people of this country. This power is being recognized by European government and I have several times recommended its use by ours. It will be utilised in the next war and preparation for Its use by our army should no longer be neglected. I have reference to the bicycle, motorcycle and the automobile, which thev have developed to that extent that they have become a most valuable means of communication and transportation. Five regiments of cavalry should be discontinued and a corps of five regiments should bo organised, thoroughly trained and constants enij loyed in the use of these modern appliances. "The modern appliances of road building are vastly superior to tho:e formerly used (in fact, the work is now done principally by machinery ami this corps should be supflMod with all the receut inventions and approvements for that purpose.

KOKOMO til Mil. Will RKJK( T A GAS RATH ORDIMM K. Lafayette Plan for Wnbasli HUer Improvement--Bedford to ote on School Bond Issue. Special to the Inöianaj oil." Journal. KOKOMO. Ind.. Aug. 27. The committee on gas will report adveisely on the proposition of the Chicago Gas Company to supply Kokomo patrons at 25 cents a thousand, meter measurement. The proposition provides t'nat patrons must pay 12 a stove, monthly, whether 8.00U feet of gas is consumed or not, and that for each additional 1.000 feet 25 cents must be paid. It is a'.so stipulated that an additional charge of 5 cents per l.ow must be collected if bills are not paid before the 10th of each month. The council is opposed to the proposition iu its present form, and will reject it. The company is still piping gas to Chicago but claims that no contracts are being renewed j and that in a short ttme Indiana gas iu Chicago will be a thing of the past. At present it takes about half the gas to force the other half to Chicago, which is not a paying investment. Twenty-live cents a thousand in Kokomo is better for the company than 50 cents in Chicago. The Council will vote for a 25-cent rate, if the objectionable restrictions and limitations are stricken out of the pro(osition. TO BE INCORPORATED.

DT RAND, Mich., Aug. 27 The coroner's Inquest into the death of the twenty-two persons who were killed in the wreck of Wallace Brothers' circus train on the Grand Trunk Railroad on Aug. 7 was concluded to-day. Charles M. Propst, of Battle Creek, Mich., engineer of the second section of the circus train that crashed into the rear of the train containing circus employes and animais, testified that he did all in his power to avoid the wreck, although he did not look at the air gauge in the cab, a.- he should have done. Other testimony also showed that the train was not equipped with available hand brakes and the brakemen could do nothing to aid in avoiding the disaster. The jury rendered a verdict that the twenty-two men were killed in a wreck at Durand on Aug. 7 as the result of a rear end collision on the Grand Trunk Railroad; that the wreck was caused by the failure of the air brakes to work on the second section; that the wreck might have been avoided if the engineer, Charles M. Propst, had watched the air gauge before him and also if Wallace brothers had had their cars properly equipped with hand brakes.

Several Persons Drowned at and Near Council Bluffs Torrential Downpour at Omaha. KANSAS CITY. Aug. 27. Unprccedentedly heavy rains north and west of Kansas City have caused the Kansas and Missouri rivers to rise suddenly to unusual heights and the results may prove grave. A bulletin issued to-day by the local weather bureau announced that the Kansas, or Kaw river, would rise from five to saven feet at Kansas City in the next forty-eight hours and a rise of equal magnitude, it is said, is coming down the Missouri. The Missouri rise, it is believed, will retard tha flow of the Kansas river at its mouth and endanger the temporary bridges, as well as the railway yards and heavy business interests in the west bottoms. The current is swift and it carries much driftwood. The Kansas river here to-day rose three feet in ten hours and is still rising rapidly. All the streams in Kansas are rising rapidly and it looks like rain. Two Men Drowned and Others Missing COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia., Aug. 27. The Missouri river valley from Missouri Valley, twenty miles north, to Pacific Junction, fifteen miles south of Council Blurts, is almost a lake for the entire distance, and of the five railroad trunk lines running east from Council Bluffs only the Illinois Central is able to run a train in or out.
