married, aud her place was supplied
by one who proved incapable.

that a cook might not arrive. Pre-

LAKE CITY, Mimi, July 9.-Quiet
prevailed about Camp LakevieW today.
Being Sunday all drills were omitted,
and during the day few minor sports
were INDUCED in. All the companies
received acquisitions of men last even
ing, and fully $50 men were present at
inspection, which occurred at 1880 this
morning, by Capt. j. ii. Huston. of the
Twentieth United States infantry. 1t
is confidently expected that the report
of the showing will be most creditable
one. Religious services were held this
morning, at 10:30, at the band stand by
Rev. G. (. Haupt, chaplain of the regi-
ment. His sermon was taken from
Matt. vi, 13. and was listened to by
large congregation of miIitiamen.
MUSIC was furnished by the regimental
baud. All the companies served an
extra dinner today, the most delicate
one being given by Commissary Haw-
thorne, of company a, who did honors
to ninety men.
Some uncompleted scores were fin
iShed at the range today and tomorrow

the Skirml5h runs will be made. More
sharpShooterS and marksmen will be
turned out this year than at any pres
viOus encampment. Brig. Gen. Bend.

Col. Pierce remained over in camp to-
day. Col. Reeve took review this eve
ming, Lieut.. Col. Bonson commanding
the regiment and Capt. Bean the First
and Maj. Price the Second battaJans.
The review and parade both passed off
nicely.
a ball game between selected mines
from the regulars and militiamen took
place this afternoon on the parade
grounds, but owing to the nervousness
of the Flrst's battery they fell easy vic
tins to the foxy pitcher of the Third.
The score stood 9 to s.
All routine work was omitted by the
regulars today and extreme quletness
prevailed. The Third infantry band,
under the leadership of Charles
Graves, rendered an excellent pro-
gramme of music this evening, which
was attentively listened to by over
1000 soldiers and citizens. The mem
bers of the mounted battalion spent
Sunday we'll in camp, and considerable
amusement was afforded the spectators
by the funny pranbs of the artillery
men. A creditaDle showing was made
by the artillerymen at the review by
Col. Reeve this evening.

Lying About Aim.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Representa-
tive Jerry Simpson was shown tonight a
dispatch from Topeka, Kan. stating
that deal has been made by the Pop
ulists of that state whereby he would
become candidate for governor next
year, aud that Gov. Lewelling would
run for the senatorship to succeed SEN
ator Martin. He said there was not a
bit of truth in the story so far as he was
concerned, and he doubted the state
ment regarding Gov. Lewelling's can
didacy.
For the past three years." said Mr..
Simpson, "a set of men at Topeka have
made business Of sending out stories
relating to the Populists and their
movements, wholly destitute of truth.
That was one style of the Kansas news
paper worker. Who they were was
mystery, as no one has been able to find
them out. They had clear field for
such work, as the Populists had no
daily organ in the state to contradict
. their errors, and they were telegraphed
throughout the country ana taken for
granted by the average reader"
Regarding the illness of Senator Mar
tin, of Kansas, the nature of which. it
was reported, the physicians refused to
make public, it was attributable, Mr..
Simpson said, to overexertion by Sen
ator Martin in enveavoring to look after
the great army of Kansas officeseekers
who overwhelmed him. 1t was a con-
slant strain in Washington, and there
has been no abatement when the sena-
tor returned to Kansas.
''The hungry Kansas Democrats are
legion" said Mr.. Simpson, because
the state had since its admittance into
the Union been in the power of the Re-
publicans; and now that affairs have
changed there are any number of Demo-
Gratis willing to serve their country"

During the storm lightning struck the
county jail, but little damage was done.
South of Lamar cloud burst in the

away the Bed Rock ditch flume and
striking the Bent ditch, which brought
the torrent into Lamar, covering
the streets from one to five
feet deep. Many families have had to
move to places of safety. At La Junta
the heavy rain cavsed several irrigating
bitches to overflow, and the streets were
covered with water. Fifteen hundred
horses and large number of hogs and
foals were drowned in the vicinity,
while the crops were oadly damaged.

Terrible Treatment Of Workmen
in Colombia.


NEW YORK, July 0. - A German
named Woll, who has just returned
from the United States of Colombia,
tells narrowing tale Of suffering and
wrong. He said that last March he and
about $50 Germans, Swedes, Irishmen
and Poles were engaged to go and work
on the Magdalena d Carthagena
railroad in Colombia. Their pass
age there was to be paid by
the railroad company, and if they
worked six months the company would
also pay their passage back. When
they got to the place where the railroad
was being built they found the land
swampy, and many of them were soon
i'll with yellow fever and other dis
eases. The company gave them no
medical aid, and they had to take care
OF each other. When they asked to be
sent back to this country they were
told that they had not kept their con-
tract to work SIX months. Woll says
that over 100 of the men died in a short
time, and that of the entire number
only 65 lived to return north.
