A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle Of San
tiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
MIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santi.
ago de Cuba were all Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on
July 23k, says: 1--WE all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no
time to see doctor, for it was
case Of rnsh and rush night and day
to keep the troops supplied with am
munition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health; in
fact. I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the
indirect saviour of our army, for if
the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way get
ting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that wagon train
could use. My comrade and my
self had the good fortune to lay in a
supply OF this medicine for our pack
train before we left Tampa and I
know in four cases it absolutely
saved life"

the manufacturers of this medicine,

Moines, Iowa. For sale by J. E.

The Princely Ex-Confederate, Do
mates Half for South Carolina
Monument, to be Erected in Stone
wall Cemetery, the Balance Raised
Through the Efforts Ct Mrs. Judge
Wm. NJ. Atkinson.
Evening News Item, Va.
Our benefactor and true friend,
Charles Broadway Rouss, has again
exhibited his generosity and love for
the Southland and it's memories by
making a handsome contribution for
the purchase of a suitable monument
to be erected in the South Carolina
lot in our Stonewall Cemetery.
Judge VIM. NJ. Atkinson has re-
ceived the following letter from Mr..
Rouss:
New York City, Aug. Is, 1898.
Mrs. Wm. NJ. Atkinson,
Winchester, Va.
My valued friend:
I was much gratilied to receive
yor butiful and complimentary Letter.
I will hand yor Letter to Mess. G. d..
Tayntor who erected our monument
and ask him to rite U regarding that
portion of yor Letter; I will impres

I think tina vii appreciate this just as
tha did the monument to the Con.
fcderate dead in Mount Hope, this
State.

I wud like very much if this cud be
dun in time for that occasion, but it
is not important. I vii therfor ask

Agen thanking U, and my kind
regards to yor peple and
With best wishes,
c. B. Rouss.
At the request Of Mr.. Rouss Mrs.
Atkinson has drawn on him for the
amount of his contribution and this
added to the sum that Mrs. Atkinson
has received from contributions from
South Carolina assures the early
completion cf this monument. Mr..
Roass expressed desi,e that this
might be accomplished by October
mex, when he will be here in attend
ance upon the Shenandoah Valley
Fair, but it is not thought that the
necessary preparations can be made
by this time and most likely the
erection and unveiling of this monu-
ment will take place on the next 9Th
of June, when the ceremonies will be
such as are BETTING the occasion,
and which our people love to conduct
when the heroes who sleep in Stone
wall Cemetery are to be honored.
To Mrs. Atkinson belongs the
honor Of securing the monument, as
she has labored indefatigably for
many years in order that the gallant
sons of South Clrolina who are Sleep
ing in beautiful Stonewall, might
have their last resting place suitably
marked as only all of their heroic
comrades, who rest near them, have
had.
1t was through Mrs. Atkinson's
efforts that marble headstones mark
the graves of South Cardinals l49
sons and this was accomplished in
the face of great discouragements,
and now that Mrs. Atkinson has
secured a handsome memorial in
marble, the people ofSouth Carolina,
her native State, should feel CRATE
ful for her praiseworthy Efforts in

BULLY FOR DEWEY.

The latest news obtainable from the
PHILIPPINE Islands is to the effect that
the naval engagement between the
United States Asiatic squadron, under
the command of Commodore Dewey,
and the Spanish PHILIPPINE squadron,
resulted in a complete route of the
Spanish forces, the destruction of five
of her battle ships engaged in the
fight, and the dismantling of the other
ships so badly that they are useless.
Commodore Dewey is now in possess
sion Of Manila, the capital of the Phil

The REDWOOD FALLS GAZETTE is apparent
ly determined to lind some fault with Con-
gresham McCleary. We regret very much
that The GAZETTE has taken this stand The
defeat of Mr.. McCleary either in convention
or at the polls would be signal victory for
the Populists and as matter of good poll
tics every Republican in the Second district
should be in favor of his return.-Northfield
News.
The editor of the News is Joel P.
Heatwole, representative in Congress
from the Third district, who is closely
allied to the representative from this
district. The GAZETTE, which Mr..
Heatwole seeks to criticise continuous
ly, is almost willing to admit that Mr..
McCleary will have no opposition at
the convention, and but little or none
at the polls.
But why would his defeat at the
convention be signal victory for the
Populists? Why is it good politics
for every Republican in the district to
see that he is returned?
The interview with Mr.. McCleary
on the Maine disaster is enough to
cause every American citizen, regard
less of party. to look at his candidacy
with disdain. This interview, denied
day or two after it's publication, and
then admitted in part, so character
istic and so much in harmony with
other acts of Mr.. McCleary, is enough
to quell whatever enthusiasm there
might have been for that gentleman,
in the American hearts of this district.
Let US presume that Mr.. Heatwole, as
did Mr.. McCleary, deliberately stated
to an accurate reporter of events to
the public, that
"The Spanish authorities were amply justi-
fed in deliberately conducting the Maine to
spot over a submarine mine,''
and
1.-THE Spaniards did right when they took
every precaution to place the Maine hors
du combat the moment any trouble oc-
Cured"
would Mr.. Heatwole expect the people
of the Third district, as patriotic as
those of the Second, to have returned
him to congress?
These remarks, justifying the MUIR
der of 265 American sailors and the
blowing up of a ship worth $5,OOO,OOO,
just six weeks before war was declared
with the country responsible for the
murder, war declared more on &C.

President Mckinley should at once

There is one very strong argument
to be used against the candidacy of
William Henry Eustis for governor.
He is a bachelor. That such a good
looking man and accomplished per-
son, with compliments profuse always
ready for the fair sex, should have re-
sided in the midst of Minnesota's fair
daughters as long as William Henry
has, and not succumbed to the charms
of one OF them, is no credit to that
profound Minneapolis thinker. No,
give us Capt. VanSant, with his wife
and children. The captain is doing
something for his country.

count of the murder than to free q
struggling people, causes our blood to
run cold, we confess. If they were
made to-day by the most humble
American citizen in an American
throng that citizen would be torn to
piece. If they had been made by a
cabinet official the so, called lingo SEN
ators would have been considering
them.
Coming from Minnesota repre-
sentative, supposing to represent an
American people, six weeks before &C.
tual war was declared seems to us
rank treason as a citizen, and degree
dation of high American Office by a
professor having no small theoretical
knowledge ofthe money question.

lipines, and as soon as he can repair
the cable. cut by the Spaniards before
the bombardment was completed, we
may expect more reliable news.
The battle, which occurred last
Sunday morning, is an illustration of
the perfect craftsmanship of Amer
lean over Spanish sailors. Every bull
let sent out by an American sailor
took effect in some Spanish vessel,
while many of the Spanish bullets
went far from the mark, and had no
effect. It appears that none of the
American ships were injured.
Spain, which had control of the
cable up to the end of the naval battle,
admits that she lost over 500 sailors,
and many high officers in the engage
ment. she does not state what the
American loss was, but it seems GER
tain that it was small, or Spain would
be too anxious to give the information.
Another battle like the one in Ma
Mia harbor on Sunday morning, oc-
curing, say at Porto Rico, or off the
Cuban coast, will end the war. Spain
will have only the Canary Islands and
herself for rotten government.

The GAZETTE gives its hearty ap-
proval to the proposition to make
Gen. Lucius F. Hubbard of Red
Wing brigadier-general in the army
for the liberation of Cuba, and to be
placed in charge of the Minnesota
troops. Gen. Hubbard is made of
the right stuff to command good
fighting brigade.
