ROYAL BAKING POTHER
NEW MEASUREMENTS
FOR ARMY RECRUITS.
War Department Makes Some
Changes in Regulation for
Choosing Soldiers.
Washington Oct 5. The War
Department has issued revised in-
structions t.i govern recruiting for
the regular arm. The principal
change ii the existing regulations
applies to the requirements as to
the physical proportions of the
candidates.
For infantry aud coast artillery
the height must be not less than 5
feet 4 inches and l ie weight not
less thau 120 pouuds aud not more
thau 190 pounda. For cavalry and
field artillery the height must be
not less than 5 feet 4 inches and
not more than 5 feet 10 inches and
the- weight not to exceed 165
pounds.
ANU ininimun is prescribed for
these arms but the chest measures
must be satisfactory. A variation
not to exceed a fraction of an finch
in height is permissible if the ap-
plicant is in good health and de-
sirable as a recruit. A variation
not exceeding ten pouuds in weight
or two inches in chest measure-
ments below the prescribed stand-
aud isadmissible when the applic-
ant for enlistment is active has
firm muscles aud is evidently vig-
orous and healthy.
A table is given to show what is
regarded as a fair standard of phy-
sical ptoportions but it is not to
be followed as an absolute guide in
deciding upon the acceptance of
recruits. Marked disproportion
of weight over height is not a cause
for rejection unless the applicant
is positively obese. Applicants are
required to defray their own ex-
pense to the place of enlistment.
Their fitness for the military ser-
vice can be determined only upon
examination at a military post or
other recruiting stations.
The terra of service is three years
and applicants for first eulistment
must be betweeu the ages of 18 and
35 years of good character aud
temperate habits -able-bodied free
frora disease aud must be able to
speak read and write the English
language. No peraon under 18
years age will be enlisted or re-eu-listedr
and minors between the ages
of 18 and 21 years must not be en-
listed w. shout the written consent
of the father only surviving par-
ent or legally appointed guardian.
Original enlistments will bo con-
fined to persons who are citizens of
the United States or who have
made legal declaration of their in
teutiou to bee me citizens thereof.
Married men will be enlisted only
upon the approval of a regimental
commander or other proper com-
manding officer if there be no regi-
mental commander. All soldiers
receive from the Government (in
addition to their pay) rations
clothing bedding medicines and
medical attendance.

GOV. ARGUELLES' POLICY.
Tampico Pleased With the New
Executive High Praise
For Him.
.One of the most radical changes
Sr. Arguelle- will make will be
the auniilimeut of the gambling
franchises i w enjoyed by a few
men in this city says the Tampico
Owl. Nothing he could do would
be more appreciated by the busi-
ness men aud the public iu general
than this important step. The
merchauts of the town are simply
delighted with Governor Argnelles
declared policy. The prospects of
Tampico are better than the most
sanguine old timer ever dreamed
of. The old regime muit give way
to an up-to-date and progressive
governor who has liftji the great-
er part of his lite on th border to
Texas and who ha lightened
views on public questii. That
Sr. Argnelles will inakt tjht best
governor that Tamanlipas -ia ever
had goes without saying. ' He is
strictly progressive in everything
aud will make a rigid' examination
of all public works before sanction-
ing them. We understand that he
will also take up the question of
street lights iu Tampico and force
some marked improvements or an-
nul the franchise of the preseut
company. The board of trade
cordially greeted Sr. Argnelles
with a band banquet steamer ex-
cursion and dance at the Casino.

The John Rankin Case.
Texas Sun.
The store of JmIui Rankin of
Alice wa robbed Monday night.
Mr. Rankin was brought to this
city and tried for luaiicy bnt was
found not guilt'. During his ab-
sence his store was ransacked on
the night following the day of his
acquittal by unknown parties.
From W. S. Rankin who went to -Alice
Wednesday we obtained the
following particulars of the rob-
bery: The thieves gained entrance
by prizing a bolt on the frontdoors.
A small quantity of merchandise
was taken. They tried to open
the cash register in the store and '
abstract the contents but- failed
a? ihs register is a very fine one
and yi the latesc make. They then
placed the register iu a vehicle and
took it about half-mile from the
store where they smashed it open
with some heavy instrument and
abstracted the cash amounting to '
10 dollars. The regi.ter was found
where it was let t by Sheriff Bli nt-
zer. The total loss will uot ex-
ceed 20J dollars if that.
John Rankin has certainly beeu
imposed upon by some one. Who
e Sun does uot know. But the
Snu does know that to have a per-
fectly sane and harmless raauhuul-
ed up ou a charge of lunacy is
anything but the act of brave and
chivalrous men. A jury of six un-
biased men after hearing all the
evidence adduced took only five
minutes to render a verdict of not
guilty and prouounced John Ran
kin perfectly cane. But notwith-
standing this the fact that hewas
once put on trial ou such a charge
will follow him to his grave aud
will canse him nulold mental
agony as he broods over his wrong?.
The Sun has beeu reliably inform-
ed that John Rankin Imd never
harmed or even threatened to
harm a hnmau in Alice or else-
where. That he was an honest
straightforward business man.
Then why this damnable persecu- '
tion of an innocent man? God
alone knows.
THROUGH INNER BAYS.
Schooner Makes Trip from Mata-
gorda to Corptii.
The schooner Weaver arrived
here Wednesday from Galveston
with merchandise the vessel com-
ing down through the inner bays
from Matagorda something that
is not often done by boats carry-
ing freight between Galveston and
this city. On account of the very
high tide prevailing the ' captain
says he experienced not the least
bit of trouble coming down inside
and putting off freight at different
places as he came along. The
Weaver which went to Shelibahk
yesterday to haul out is expected
back in a few days to take on a
load of cotton for Galveston. Cor-
