When the hour for division review
rolled around it found the encamp-
ment grounds crowded with all man
rer of vehicles containing the elite OF
the CITY and the scene was we'll worth
witnessing. The companies began
forming for division review at 5:55
O'Clock but it was nearly O'CLOCK be"
fore they were all on the field. The
newness of the movement got some of
the commanding officers in q qaandry
and several breaks were made, but OF
course one or two trials are necessary
to do away with the rusty movements
of both men and ofncers. Inc
most serious break was on
the part of the commander
of the cavalry. de had orders to form
his company in line with the balance
of the troops facing west, but as the
formation was being made he came to
the conclusion that he could not get
into the line there and hence carried
his troops 400 or 500 yards further
west and formed them facing north.
This threw the cavalry band in the
field where they very properly stood
until an officer came and got them
and started back to the line, in the
meantime having safely located the
cavalrymen where they be-
longed. After everything was ar
ranged the order was given
Tor the line to move and then the
scene was certainly pretty one.
The long line of soldiers in all the
beauty of their uniforms, the glisten-
ing guns and then the cavalry and
artillery, all bringing up the rear,
made perfect panorama of moving
beauty. The various bands were
making the air melodious, and once
started the division review was one OF
those grand successes that it is a
pleasure to witness. There will be
unother review this afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock and every body should be in
attendance. The Regulars did not
take part in last afternoons review,
owing to the fact that their baggage
was delayed in transit. 1t came ii
yesterday, however, and the regulars
will come out on review this afternoon
in great shape.

Mr.. Warman likes "Sweet Marie" One
reason for his fondness is that he made
T2@7 in royalties between January and
July. and expects his receipts for the
three months ending with September to
be over $4,000 more. There is a reason
for his liking her
Mrs. Warman is responsible to the
public for ''Sweet Marie" She inspired
the song. Her name is Marie; and they
have been married only couple of
years, which accounts for her being
"sweet''
Mr.. Warman has not always been a
poet. although he is now making thou
sands Of dollars from Il successful song,
and has already made reputation. He
went to Colorado in 1880, when he was
3 years old, and began work on the
Denver 4 Rio Grande railroad as i,
fireman. His train ran through the
famous Marshall Pass. and he attributes
his subsequent career as Il poet to the
inspiration Of the scenery i'll the Rockies.
II couldn't help writing poetry with such
scenery as that to run my engine

Of course the expression ''spoken at

near crossing to hail each other through

BY this means news was received and

If it did not necessitate il change of

taken the place of, the speaking trumpet,
except in cases where the vessels are
coming near together in their regular

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing anu trofyy'
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
