A Visit to Dogue Chitto.

The Editor went down to Bogue Chittc
last Friday night and spent II portion oi
Saturday. Our limited stay did not per-
init us to ''take in' the town and its sur
roundings rs we would like, 80 any
lengthy reference to tho subject will be
deferred until more apportune time.
Suffice it to say that the town shows
| many signs of substantial improvement
and progress. The lumber interests,
headed by the great Keystone Company
with its two big saw mills, plauers, drying
houses, miles of iron railroad track and
rolling stock, is booming. Messrs. Eu-
gene MeLanrin, B. T.. Brister & CO., Jno.
I. Marshall & Co., and Geo Riehlman all
keep large and wellassorted stocks OF
general merchandise and seem to lie do
ing a prosperous business. Prof. Max
ey's school continues to flourish, the
Professor being justly held iu high es-
TEEN. There are also evidences of pri-
vate improvements. DIR. Thompson is
building a substantial two-story residence
on new lot recently purchased, Mr.. Nc
Laurin has lately completed neat cot
tage residence, aud other improvements
are in progress or projected.
We do not believe there is q place OH
the globe where fruits of various kinds
will flourish better than on the gravelly
ridges of Bogue Chitto, and the people
there could easily transform their town
and all the. adjacent lands into a veritable
horticulturalist's paradise. Peaches, ap-
Piles, pears, grapes, figs, strawberries
it, fact, all fruits adapted to this latitude,
find there a natural Lone, and grow to
the greatest perfection.
We are especially indebted TO Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Arid and Messrs. J. NJ. and
Ira W. Tyler, for courtetles during our
visit. They evidently appreciate the fact
that the life of u newspaper man is not
all sunshine and roses, and manifested
this appreciation iR u substantial way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arid run the only regular
hotel in the town, and have a splendid
garden aud orchard attached, and the
Messrs. Tyler have saw -mill and ex-
tensive lumber interests near town.
Mr.. J. NJ. Tyler also has gin, cotton
press, grst aud rice mill run by water
power, has lots of hogs and cattle and
seems to be prosperlng.

ST, Louis, Mo-, August 95,-The Post
Dlpalch prints page article, giving the
experience OF a reporter who enlisted as
asoldler and investigated the causes of
OF SO many desertions, The reporter Is
Frank Woodward, formerly Of Minneap'
oils, who served three months as a re-
cruit at Jefferson Barracks, near this
city, and then secured his discharge,
The revelations are interesting, owing to
the fact that during the year ending
about June /, out Of an army Of about
$4,000 men there were 2,s42 desertions,
The story shows that enlisted men in
the United States army are treated
worse than slaves, and many Of them
worse even than dogs. So terrible is
this treatment that Notwithstanding Eve
years imprisonment in military prison,
desertions are increasing ut an alarming
rate, Woodward claims that officers,
and especially non'commissloped off.
GERS, are needlessly cruel and Extensively
tyrannical; that the food furnished is
unit to eat; that vermin make the
soldiers couch unfit to sleep upon that
tho recruits money is absorbed by the
sutler, aud charges that private soldiers
have been murdered by non,commls'
stoned officers without as much as an in.
vestigation, Further interesting details
Of the expose are promised.

AN INFAMOUS STORY,
Rejecting Upon the OnieiAl Integrity OF
Postmaster General WanamAkeF,

NNAthAAAtNN ANANNtA NNAANAAAhNFN
WAsHINaToS, August pa great
many stories have been invented to
connect Postmaster General Wanama-
kers Philadelphia business affairs with
Government matters in the epdeavor to
show that official influence was being
used to promote Mr.. Wanamaker's pri-
vate interests, The latest Of these in
Ventions, and certainly the most Eidi-
culous, although Infamous In Its inten-
tlons, Is the story published 10 Cleye-
land paper alleging that the life-Saving
crews are required to wear a SO uni
form, which they have to purchase at
Wanamaker's clothing store,
Superintendent Kimball, Of the Life
saving Service, In commenting upon this
charge, said today that, so far from the
men being compelled to wear seventy
fYe-dollar uniforms, the idea OF q uni
form originated at their own special re-
quest, and the uniform finally adopted
cost them but fourteen dollars, Thisout-
ft they buy wherever suits them the
best, and Mr.. Wanamaker has had no
call upon any one In the service for the
patronage in the purchase OF clothing,
The fact that the Wanamaker in Phila-
delphia who sells mems clothing Is not
john Wanamaker, the Postmaster GEN
eral, appears not to have been known to
those who originated the slander. The
clothing firms bearing the name Of Wan
amaker have no connection with the
Postmaster General Wanamaker's busi-
ness, which includes nearly everything
in trade except mans clothing,

that the pressure was wholly insufficient,

As nothing could be done but let the
water fall In slow streams from the noz-
