Fifth Battalion Of state troops for some
time and he is eminently qualified for the
office He is tho chief Of the Tampa IRE
department ana has he'd that position
ever since its ORGANIZATION.
Lieut.. Harris Is the only officer Of the
Fifth battalion Of state troops that mas
been accepted TO- the volunteer regiment
The people Of Tampa feel honored by the
selection of the IIfth battalion band Of
this city as the regimental band. It is
hoped that the band viii not be carried
away from Tampa get awhile, for At
furnishes excellent music.
Now that nearly all the companies of the
state troopsshave been mustered into the
r. giment of volunteers the discipline Of
the camp has become more strict. The
boys now fnd that there is considerable
difference between being a member OF the
| Florida state troops and being a member
Of company in the service Of the United
States.
The government is rapidly supplying the
regiment with all the necessary equip
ments. The Florida troops were very
poorly equipped and consequently there
need of many articles wnich the regi-
ment of other states had when mustered
into service.
The state of OHIO is now represented in
Florida by two regiments of volunteers.
The regiments are the Fifth Artillery,
which is temporarily camped at Palmetto
Beach, on the outskirts of Tampa, and the
Third Artillery, which is somewhat divid-
ed, portion OF the regiment being at
Plant City, twenty miles west of Tampa,
and the remainder in coaches at Dor
City. Col. KEENAN, and his officers and
men of the Fifth Ohio volunteers arrived
ahead of the Third, and as no place had
been provided for this regiment a cool
and shady spot on the bank OF Tampa
bay, known as Palmetto Beach, was set
tied upon, and by tonight the men had
settled down TO routine camp life. one
section of the Third is camped at Plant
City under command of Lieutenant Colonel
White This place viii lie the permanent
camp of both regiments after tomorrow.
One section of the Third, consisting of
twenty-one officers ana go men, spent to-
night in the railroad coaches at Ybor Guy.
1t was not very pleasant to have to re-
main in The coaches another night after
the long railroad journey, but the men
have got used to roughing it, and made
the best of It,
There IS a brewery close to the side track
on which the train was placed and the
Ohio boys soon ascertained that Florida
beer is good thing.
All of the Ohio men are in good health.
considering the long trip they have just
completed Like the volunteers from all
over the country they are anxious to go
to Cuba at once
The Ohio artillery is the first of that
| branch IN the volunteer army to reach this
section The men have received many de-
served compliments on their fine appear
ance. The artillery branch will no doubt
have some hot work cut out for it when
the time for fighting comes, and Ohio Will
do her share of the work.

OIL. A. B colt. COLUMBUS, o., COMMANDER 4rH OHIO RE-

A short time previous to the departure
of Col. Colt to the deferse of his country,
a reporter had an interview with him as
to certain statements about the Ameri-
can remedy, Pe-ru-na. The colonel stated
most emphatically as follows:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company of this city is counted as one OF
the leading manufacturing enterprises of
the city. The proprietors are well-knOwn
prominent citizens. The president, Dr. s.
3. Hartman, is a physician of high stand
ing and an enterprisng citizen Of I'M
doubted integrity. Their most prominent
remedy, Pe-ru-na, as a catarTh remedy
has made several remarkable cures to my
knowledge. 1 desire 10 give both the rem
edy and the company my hearty endorse
ment. A 3. Colt"
Thus it appears that Col. Colt has
known of several remarkable cures which
Pe-rU-na has made in cases of catarrh.
AS a matter Of fact, there are few people
in the United States who do not know OF
one or more similar cures Pe-ru-n1
cures catarrh wherever located Catarrh
of the head, catarrh of the throat. stom-
ach, liver, bowels. Kidneys, and catarrh
