COL. MILEY'S STORY.
Lieutenant Colonel Bliley, General
Skaters chief Of staff, testified before
the war investigating committee TO-DAY
concerning the Santiago campaign,
largely following the lines of General
Skaters testimony.
He told of the position of the lines of
the two armies before Santiago, and
said the Spanish lines were so conspic-
uous that there was no necessity for
any reconnaissance in force to deter
mine them He said there was no doubt
that there We're Spanish sharpshooters
between the Spanish and American
lines, but he was unable to find a single
instance of Spanish sharpshooters firing
on our hospitals in the rear or of firing
on our Hanks. He spoke of the two
mile range of the Spanish rifles and,
describing the American position on
San Juan HILL said it would nave been
far more dangerous for the men to
have been a half-mile in the rear than
10 remain where they did.

A Clever Trick.-It certainly looks like
it, but there is no trick about 1t. Anybody
can try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys Malaria or Nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
using Electric Bltters. This medicine tones
the Liver and Kidneys, is blood purifier
and nerve tonic. 1t cures Constipation,
Headache, Painting Spells, Sleeplessness and
Melancholy. 1t is purely vegetable, mild
laxative and restores the system to its nat
ural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be CON
WINGED that they are miracle worker.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only so cents a
bottle at the G. E. Pearce Drug Co.'S store.
You are making great mistake in not
sending for l0-cent trial size of Ely's Cream
Balm. 1t is specific for catarrh and cold in
the head. We mail it, or the 5O-cent size.
Druggists all keep it. Ely BROTHERS, Of
Warren street, New York.
Catarrh caused difficulty in speaking and
to great extent loss of hearing. BY the use
of Elys Cream Balm dropping of mucus has
ceased, voice and hearing have greatly inn
proved.-J. W. Dapidsom, Attorney at Law,
Monmouth, Ill.
Millions Given Away-Jt is certainly
gratifying to the public to know of one con-
Germ in the land who are not afraid to be
generous to the needy and suffering. The
proprietors of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given
away over ten million trial bottles of this
great medicine; and have the satisfaction OF
knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of
hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and
Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on the G.
E. Pearce Drug Co. and get trial bottle
free Regular size 90 cents and 81. Every

wonder.
The good old town got its name in
cidentally from the second war with
Great Britain.
An objectionable sin, of course, in
the eyes of the alien-born Forum.
But if the Forum wants to impeach
the literary quality of the school in
which the JOURNAL was reared, it is
welcome to over-match the lingual
symmetry of the appended paragraph
clipped, almost at random, from the
last issue of the Front Royal Register,
Wholesale flag raising is retail empire
building. Job lots of real estate whether To-
Gated ON a bit of coral set in the equator, or
good-sized stalagmites of ice perched on the
tip of the north pole, must forthwith have
flags on them of our own particular brand
If acres or square miles happen to have ITO
Lett posted thereon, it becomes our ''mani-
fest destiny" to stake off our claim and imme-
diately run up the bunting. Which policy,
given full run, and when run to seed, might
be labeled imperialism without much fear
of lingo rejoinder.
The Forum may enlist more recruits !;
it may even re-enlist the maltreated
Fairchild; then make century run on
attempts at crystallized thought, and it
will still fall far short of verbal en-
bodiment on any subject at once so neat,
smooth and complete.

BASE BALL.
AGOOSe Egg.

1.-The Scorer" reports last Saturdays
work as follows:
The game with Homecoming last Saturday
afternoon was very tame affair. After the
first inning everyone present foresaw the
finish.
The visitors played pretty fair game in
the field. Douglas. Gould and Cosgrove, in
the infield, made some very pretty plays
and McGuigan's catching and throwing to
bases was feature. They showed up, how
ever, decidedly weak at the bat. Hits for
"Coney'' were few and far between-only five
in the entire game is the record.
The playing of the home team was excel
lent, and deserved much better encourage
ment in the way OF attendance. Wolfe and
Williams were in the points and they gave an
exhibition that was decidedly good. DIN
Gunnett played good fast game at third, ac
ceptng every chance without a sign of an
error.
"Old Eagle Eye Jack was out of the game
on account of an injury to one of his
hands incurred in the Meyersdale game
OH the previous Wednesday. His posi-
ton in right field was filled by Charlie
Powers, player who made his initial bow in
this game. He made also a good impression
and Played an up-to-date game, having four
hits out of five times at the bat. He ran the
bases like veteran and the general verdict
is that he is a conner
