GEN. WHEATON, in his speech at the en-
tertainment given in his honor, spoke strong
" in ftror OF Walla Walla as military
post, and stated that the troops were subsist-
ed here at q less cost than any other station
in the country. The regular allowance for
subsisting soldier is 80 cents day. At
Fort Walla Walla for the last year the aver
age cost for subsiSting the soldiers was at the
rate of l3 cents each per day, or /, cents less
than the regular allowance. The lowest f.
ure at any other post in the United States for
a corresponding period was 20 cents Il head
or fulI one hall more than at this post. What
WAS said of the soldiers applies with equal
force to the officers. They can all live cheap
er here than elsewhere, and for that reason
an assignment to Fort Walla Walla is re-
garded as u great favor. Gen. Wheaton ex-
pressed great regret az leaving, and said he
would Ee glad TO have the headquarters of
his regiment established at this place. In
conclusion we may add, that Gen Wheaton
bears with him the kindest wishes of our
people. and should those ia authority send
hiin back here, be Is sure of a warm reception.

Anti Monopoly President Goes Into
the Railroad Combination to Sup.
press Competition.
The officers Of Mr.. CARROTS road, the
Baltimore & Ohio, have authorized the
following publication in connection with
the prospective end Of the railroad war:
The agents of both companies have poti-
fed shippers that contracts for freight at
present rates would hold good for twenty
four hours only. The settlement of the
freight rates will probably take New York
for basis, Baltimore thus being given
the advantages in lower rates over that
point to which by her position she is
entitled. The tickets over the Pennsyl-
vania Road between New York and Phil
adelphia will be issued by the Baltimore
& Ohio company and sold in the office Of
both companies as before. The regula-
ton Of the rates of freight will be made
with view Of encouraging business, and
freights will be carried upon an equitable
basis and at figures that will doubtless be
satisfactory to shippers. The negotiations
were brought about through the agency
Of mutual friends in Philadelphia and
Brltimore, who have large interests at
stake, and were concerned as we'll for the
general public. They recognized that
the strife was demon alizing, and had an
unsettling influence on the business Of the
country as we'll as Of the roads. New
| York was selected for the meeting as
being neutral ground, and punctilios on
the score Of approaches being thus cbvia-
ted. When the respective officials met
each other they discovered after short
conversation, that there was no serious
objection in the way Of settlement, and
the conference was harmonious through
out. In the outset the two fundamental
points of settlement of any misunder-
standing between the two companies
we're Of course involved in that principle
of policy which retains for Baltimore thu
advantages Of her geogra fhical position
whilst at the same time the use OF thu
tracks Of the Pennsylvania Railroad be
tween Philadelphia and New York ar
conceded to the Baltimore andb Ohio o,
like terms with others, and which shall
be reciprocal and advantageous to boil
companies. The formal written agree
ment drawn up by the representatives o
the two companies secures these tv'
! points. The agreement will be submit
ted to the directors Of the Baltimore an,
Ohio company at called meeting to b.
held on Wednesday. After it has BEEF
; acted upon there is mass Of detail wor
J to be arranged in the final settlement Q
the matter, in reference to both freigh
and passenger rates, which will be I'D
justed as usual in the meetings of tn
freight and ticket agents Of the diferen
: roads.

WARSAW, July 10, 1ct1.
st. Paul Harvester Works.-This is to
certify that I have used an Edward
Harvester two seasons, and have cut 800
acres, and only used two horses At any
time.
l consider the draft IS light as any
Harvester know Of and it is superior to
any Harvester for cutting and elevating
grain. My boy 10 years old drove it.
My boys say they would rather bind on
the Edward than the Marsh, IS they have
worked on both. Last season we gather
ed in the binders box over one bushel OF
shelled oats to the acre that we famed in
the wind, and We collected large guam
tity Of short heads and bound them in
the enough to seed the ground
The binders box is great saving At
tachment to the Elward over any Other
Harvester, in my opinion | would rec
ommend farmers to buy the Elward il
preference to any other Harvester.

Rlood Diseases.

The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up and from which we de-
rive our mental as well as physical capabill-
ties, how important that it should be kept
pure. lift contains vile fostering p0ls0ns all
organic functions are weakened thereby. Set
thing upon important organs, as the lungs,
liver, OF kidneys, the effect is most disastrous
Hence it behouves every one to keep their
blood in perfectly healthy condition, and
more especially does this apply at this particu-
lar season OF the year than at any other. no
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause OF large proportion Of all diseases
is bad clood. Now DR. Pierce does not wish
to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the
catalogue Of quack patent nostrums by recon-
mending it to cure every disc ase, nor does he
so recommend it, on the contrary there are
hundreds Of diseases that he acknowledges it
will not cure but what he does claim is this,
that there is but one torn Of blood disease, yet
he knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will
free the blood and system Of al other known
blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or
mineral. The Golden Discovery is warranted
| BY him to cure the worst forms OF Skin Dis
eases, as all forms Of Blotches, Pimples and
Eruptions. also all Glandular Swellings, and
all Scrotulous diseases OF the bones, as White
Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal
Diseases, all OF which belong to Scrotulous
diseases.

excellent satisfaction. We cut over one
hundred acres Of wheat and oats. We
cut So acres i'll three days, two men do
ing the binding, and two horses doing the
work easily. The fields were looked
over by many men who visited them, and
all said they were the cleanest fields they
had ever seen. The binders have an easy
position. and thetlnders' box collects all
Of the shelled and loose grain. The day
Of binding grain on the ground will soon

The Gne. Horse Island the HesSians

When Lafayette was IN America. in
1924. he was so full of revolutionary an
ecdotes that he overfowed at the parties
given in his honor. At one of these
parties, in Washington City, he said
that ''Knyphausen, the Hessian general
who commanded the mercenary troops
in the British service, when on his pas
sage 'to crush the rebellion became
greatly annoyed at the time consumed
in the voyage. Finally, he approached
the captain and asked if it was not inn
possible that the ship might have sailed
past America in the night?"
