A DEATH IN CAMP DUE 70 HEAT

San Antonio, Tea, July "a -iSpccial.J
The awarding of the contest prizes will
be made tomorrow afternoon, and in the
meantime everybody is on the tiptOe of
expectancy as TO who the successful com
panics will 'be. The speculation is as
usual, running rife, with the favorable
talk on the Governors Guard increasing.
The MortOnS still have their warm back
ers, and the other companies friends have
not deserted them, hence ii can be readily
seen that the town is all astir rs to the
outcome. The report of the Judges has
not been filed with the drill management,
and will not be until tomorrow afternoon,
and hence there is no possible chance for
anybody TO figure out who is the winner.
In connection with this matter it is well
TO note that the board of inspectors, at the
request of the drill management, took
up the charges preferred against the Nor
ton captain by the Thurstons and the ST.
Paul company, charging that the Morton
captain had seen the Thurstons and the
Sealys drill by watching them with II
spy glass. The testimony went TO show
that while the captain could not be di-
rectly implicated that his lcutenants
made no bones of the fact that they had
seen one company drill by looking
through an old spy glass with one tense
gone. 1t was further stated, however,
that the ST. Paul captain, who is now
prefcrring these charges, had looked
through the same glasses at the same
companies. The sum and substance of
the testimony was that it was developed
that somebody had been looking ut the
drills, and may be all of them, but ms the
inspecting board had nothing at all TO do
with the Interstate companies they sim
ply referred the evidence taken in the
case back to the drill management for
action.
In the matter of the Texarkana com
pany, which was ruled out Of inspection
and refused permission TO enter the con
test drill because one of the scrgcants
was not in regulation uniform, the board.

of the fatiguing heat, but highly delight

Ntestones on the Road to Health

The recovery of digestion and the re-
sumption of activity by the liver, bowels
and kidneys are milestones which mark
our progress ON the road to health. They
speedily become pcrceptible when Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is used by the
invalid. Nothing so surely and eXpedi-
tiously consumes the distance to the de-
sired goal. As no bodily function can
suffer interruption without impairing the
general health of the system, so the sys-
TEN can never acquire perfect viSor,
health's synonym. until that function be
actively resumed. Take. for instance,
digestion. II suspension Of which is in

organs upon which it devolves grow
weak, biliousness, constipation, head

cral influence of dyspepsia. The disap-
pcarancc of all these symptoms, through
the use of the Btters, show with what
