A dispatch sent out from Washing
ton Monday connects Rock Island
arsenal with reported revelations of
the extraordinary preparations made
for a war with Spain when interna-
,ional difficulties began to loom up
about a year ago. 1t reads:
Ever since the first indication OF
any possible serious complications
between the United States and Spain
which might result in hostilities,
officers Of the war department have
pus. ed work at the various arsenals
until now preparations ars completed
after more than year OF incessaLt
energy. The administration ex-
pected trouble aud made arrange
ments accordingly. Even the cav
airy branch of the service is now in
such shape that large detachment
could be transported to Cuba within
10 days Although various reasons
have heretofore been assigned at the
department for unusual activity NJ
the arsenais, the real cnnse has Just
been developed through delay in
furnishing badges to members Of
the district national guard for eff

requisition was made upon the
de partment, and ordinarily prizes
furnished inside of 30 DAYS. but in
the present instance nearly q year
has elapsed without their having
been supplied. Badges and medals
are manufactured ut the Rock Island
arsenal. where the force has been
running at full speed, but the re-

days ago, when work was begun

SO busy preparing for a war with
Spain that no time could be spared
TO strike off ihe medals. Officers of
the war department refuse to discuss
the matter, but the impression pre-

A sPASM OF SENSE,

Now, let's have a short spasm of
common sense. If people who'bave
been chemically sick are so soon
and so easily cured by WdmpoIe'S
Preparation, why were they not
cured by some of the medicines they
took before =? Because medicines
are like novels and songs; once in
while a good one in tons of tons of
poor ones. That's the reason and
its reason enough. But what is this
preparation made of that it should
do what others cannot The an
swer is simple and straight. 1t is
made from fresh Cod Livers, the
Hypophosphites. and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry Bark,
combined in new and scientific
way. 1t isn't lot of incongruous
ingredients shaken together, but
chemically united, so as to make one
thing of unprecedented potency. 1t

the trapeze bar, it is reported, he was
warned that one or two of the ropes
attached TO the parachute were almost
worn through. Nevertheless he made
the ascent, and after reaching an ele-
walton of about a thousand feet the
balloon sailed to the southwark. When
Daggett cut the rope and started on
his downward trip with the parachute,
it was at once noticed by the spectators
that something was wrong. 1t only
took a second to show that one or two
Of the guy ropes of the parachute were
broken, and that article was rendered
useless. With the rapidity of lightning
the unfortunate aeronaut dropped 10
the earth. The crowd rushed to the
scene, only to find the man in a crushed
condition just to the rear Of Mr. Duff
fy's residence on the hill. His collar
bone and left ankle were both broken
and he was soon conveyed to st. Mary s
hospital, where DR.. Bartel looked after
his wounds.
The nerve Of the man was we'll IL
lustrated when he found the parachute
unmanageable. He threw off various
articles Of clothing. Up to the last mo-
ment he retained full command Of his
senses.
The latest reports from the hospital
last night were that he was doing well
and would probably recover.

Ryan assumed the offensive at the
call Of time and, after sparring for a
few moments, rushed Wilson. The lat

Wilson made several passes at Ryan,

Ryan made another La Blanche swing
at Wilson, catching him fairly on the

and then tried to regain his feet, but

Wilson fell up against a post, and held

Report Says New York Banks VIII
Come to the Rescue

New York. August 22.--It ls announc-
ed that the loan committee Of the clear
Ing house association win meet Mon
day morning, probably to issue some
clearing house certificates.
j. Edward Simmons. president of the
Fourth National Bonk. Is quoted as
saying that out OF the political situa-
ton there has arisen Il good deal OF
apprehension on the part OF the general
public and this has brought business TO
a condition OF almost utter stagnation.
Mills" Simmons added, ARE being
closed all over the country or else put
on half time. There has been n little
or no demand for goods and a very re-
strlcted sale, As a result. the strain
upon merchants Is becoming intense,
and the resulting pressure upon the
banks for discount is most severe. This
coming at time when the demand for
money for crop moving purposes, as is
usual at this season OF the year. It Is
only right that the banks Of New York
should extend such accommodation to
their out-of-town customers as well as
to merchants. as will enable the crops
to move freely.
1T will only be with view OF avoid
Ing serious disaster that clearing house
loan certificates will he Issued should
the emergency be considered sufficient
in the opinion Of the committee to war
rant such action"

all members OF the association were
well pleased with the manner In which
he conducted the affairs.
Certainly the citizens OF Astoria can
be proud Of the regatta and tourna-
ment events Of 1896. The fire lad lies
didn't make a mistake. and all over the
state will be recorded the fact tha,
the events passed OF smoothly without
