Restrni Nights, Days free from Torture
Await the rheumatic sufferer who resorts to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That this benig-
nant cordial and depurent is a far more relia-
BILE remedy than colchicum and other poisous
used to eIpel the rheumatic virus from the
blood, is a fact that experience has satisfactor-
lily demonstrated. Italso enjoys the advantage
of beiug-unlike Unexpectedly safe.
With many persons a certain predls-
position to rheumatism exists, which renders

weather to currents of air, changes of tempera-

persons should take p wine glass or two of the
Bitters as soon as possible after mourning risk

TWO DesERrERs CAPTURED.

. -
Marshal Baumann Takes In "a Pair OF
Strays from Fort Randall and Earns
Sixty Dollars.
City Marshal Baumann to-day finds
himself sixty dollars ahead by q recent
performance of duty. and thereon hangs
q tale. About q week ago a man struck
Yankton and after boarding around at
back doors for Reversl days was spotted
by the officers and arrested for vagrancy.
On the morning OF Wednesday last an
other arrived and it being circus day
he proceeded to get hilariously full
and was also carted to the cooler by
the police. The vagrant and drunkard
were taken to the police court and being
unable to pay the fine imposed, they
were committed to the city Jail. Now
all this time our city marshal had kept
his eye open quietly for some desertels
from the regular army OF Fort Randall,
and by working into the confidence
of the two prisoners at last found out
that their names were King and Wise
ana that they were the runaway soldiers.
He telegraphed to the commanding
officer at Fort Randall and this morning
received the following answer.
Geo. Baumann-Clty Marshal, Yank-
ton-Keep King and Wise in custody,
and l will send for them at You
are entitled to thirty dollars reward tor
each. LIT. Col. r. +. BBIRNE.
Another man left the post at the same
time, but he got away to the east and
could not be- found. The escort which
comes to transfer the prisoners to Randall
is expected to arrive to-day. This little
story shows the advantage of working
everything on the quiet. Marsha
Baumann has held his peace until nov
when he is sure of his game.

PRESS DEPARTMENT.
Mrs. Ellen C. Thompson State Supt !.

DEAR SISTERS The occasional
reports of the Superintendent of de-
partments encourage me to address
you on the subject of Press Work.
| am by no means disheartened,
and yet the visible results of my
efforts are not very great. | hail
with delight every paper in which
| find a w. G, 7. U. department,
and | trust the mum bers will great
ly increase before our next State
Convention. 1t has been my pur-
pose to address upon this subject
every Union in our State, located
in town where pa per is publish
ed. If there is one which has been
omitted, the ladies OF that Union
will do me favor by notifying me.
So anxious have | been to omit
none, that / am sure of having ad-
dressed one or two where no paper
is published. In several cases |
have sought to interest in this
work, ladies who live in towns
where one or more papers are pub
lished, but where no Union exists.
/ think that space has been Sc
cured for temperance items in all
the Charleston papers as well as
in those mentioned in the FREEMAN
of last week. 1 have written thir-
ty two letters and eleven postal
cards relating especially to the
work of my department. In reply
/ have received about a dozen let
ter. I trust that the opportu nifty
for usefulness afforded by the sue
cessful prosecution of this work, will
not be lost for the lack of interest
on the part of any one. Perhaps
no branch of our work is of greater
Importance. 1t is possible that if
the name Of the lady who prepares
the column should be given, it
might add to the interest Of the
department, bat faithful conscien-
tious work will tell long after our
names are forgotten.
1t is said that when the Cathe-
dral of Stasburg was building, a
poor peasant woman spent years
in polishing one little stone which
she brought to the Architect, only
to be told that there remained no
place for it save little niche away
up out of sight, which, it would
exactly FILL. "Ahi" said she, chat
is just the place for me. If my
Lord and the Angels see it, that is
all | ask"
My dear sisters, possibly the
work which we do in this depart
ment may be the one stone of our
polishing which we shall bring to
the great Master Builder. 1t may
never receive the honor or praise
of men, but if there is some little
niche for it where God and the An
gels can see it, let US say as did the
poor peasant women, THAT is just
the place for me-"

Comrades Homeward Bound.

The Grand Army boys were in their ele-
ment yesterday. They came down from Wa
terville on their return home in force yester-
day morning, and the 10 A. NJ train was
filled with men wearing the golden cord and
tassel for a hat band. On the cars they
passed a vote thanking Frank Heselton of
the Heselton House, Skowhegan, for
the hosptable manner in which he en-
tertained the comrades. They were
a jolly crowd and were OVERLOOKING
with jokes. The new Department
commander, Capt S. w. Lane, was
with them and congratulations flowed in upon
him from every hand. On arriving at the
transfer station on the east side the boys
thronged the platform and shouted three
cheers for the new commander. At the
west side station they were wilder than ever
and as Capt Lane came along the platform
Col. L d. Carver of Rockland. one of the
jolliest of the entire party, mounted truck,
swinging his hat, and shouted "give three
cheers for our new commander" The veter-
ans responded with will. Cheers followed
for the late commander, Gen. James A. Hall,
ex Commander Williams of Rockland Post,
and Seth Williams Post of Augusta. As the
train moved off there was renewed cheering.
