"GEN. MILES" CIGARS.
New Brand for Soldiers
Department Overwhelmed.

Chicago, May 28-'"This second call
for troops comes at a rather inoppor-
tune time for u.s. said Major Smith of
the commissary department when he
heard of the presidents call. For
many days we have been securing the
country for supplies for the men al
ready in the field, and if we must now
turn our attention to the equipping of
additional forces well hard work will
De required. Because of our position
in the largest supply market in the
country the real work OF supplying the
army comes upon our shoulders.
Two large orders, received and filled
today, give some idea of the quality of
the supplies which are sent out by this
department. Today we sent to Chick
amauga 15S,000 travelling rations, suit
BILE only for the men in the field. These
rations include corned beef, hard tack,
canned beans and tomatoes and liquid
coffee. The NratiOns are put in the
knapsacks of the men. From their num-
Der and their nature it seems to me
that the men now in camp at Chicka-
manga will soon be their way to
Cuba or some other scene of activity.
1.-The second order which we are fill
ing is that of suffers stores for the
men at Camp Thomas at Chickamauga.
In this war the department is the deal
er of luXuries. They buy them at cost
and are thus saved from the clutches
of the sutler, the bugbear of the SOL
diers in the civil war. In the following
list are some of the things ordered to-
day:
Six hundred pounds of tea.
One hundred and fifty thousand CT
gars.
Forty-two thousand brier and corn
cob pipes
Forty thousand pounds of plug and
smoking tobacco.
Forty-tWo thousand cakes of soap.
Ten thousand hand wash basins.
One hundred and forty-four thousand
boxes of matches.
"Shoe backing, shoe brushes, shoe
laces, towels, can-openers and other
useful articles by the thousand are
also included. All the things supplied
are of good quality, especially the eli
gars. Among the brands ordered by
the department was one which bears
the name of the commanding officer of
the army. That is certainly a compli-
ment to him. From now until the end
of the war every camp will have its
suffers stores"

garding cures that had been effected BY
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
decided to try them. That was In 1896.

ing to instructions.
Four days later I had the happiest
hours had known for years. That night
went to sleep easily and slept soundly as
a child and awoke refreshed.
"After I had taken four boxes of the
pills, found that was cured and had also
increased d pounds IN weight.
his greatly surprised my friends, who
thought my case was hopeless one. I be-
gan my work again and have continued
ever since In excellent health.
Another valuable gain to me was, that
while was taking these pills had been
cured of the smoking habit, which had
formed when was boy and had clung
to me all these years. The craving for
tobacco left me and have never expe-
rienced it since.
II cannot say enough for these pills and
have recommended them to many"

Swamped With Correspondence.

The following statement in regard to
correspondence at the executive office
was given out at the instance of Gov
ernor Leedy today: THE rush of cor
respondence is on again in the executive
office. The clerical force is simply bur-
led in letters and kilograms. 1t is ut
terly out of the question to give an i'm
mediate and personal reply to each let
ter but Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Elliott go
over the mail carefully and everything
is done to bring matters to Governor
Leedys attention without loss of time.
The hundreds of personal applications
and delegations make such demands up
on the governors time that it is out of
the question to give personal answer to
every one of the hundreds of commune
cations which reach his office daily

ALL FOR THE ARMY.
q. s. Postal Department Furnishing
Improved Service.

Washington, May 28.-Six additional
postal clerks have been detailed to the
camp at Chickamauga, making twenty
two in all at that camp. The mail is
delivered there three or four times a
day and as many as %, 900 letters have
been delivered at one time.
Three additional clerks have been ap-
pointed to serve at Camp Alger. 1t was
found that considerable delay in the de-
livery of mail at camps resulted from
the stOppage of mail wagons, by
guards. These conVeyances being Of
different characters are not easily recog
niZed as being in the service of the
United States and hereafter mail de-
livery wagons of the regular type will
be used for this purpose.
Another innovation on account of the
soldiers is a postmark stamp for use
in the field with movable type. so that
the name of the locations of the camp
can be easily changed on it as the
troops moved from place to place

known what course the grandparents
will take. The mother still has the

CHILD WRECKS.
Caused by Ignorant Selection of Fot

Caused by Ignorant SeIect1on OF FOOD
One of the most Divine traits in
mankind is the love for and care of
the little folks. To furnish them good
nourishing food is to supply the where
with to build the little bodies into
healthy and sturdy men and women.
Parents who thoughtlessly give coffee
to growing children will see the day
when they would give anything on
earth to be rid of the regret for the
weakness and frequent sick spells of
the children, caused by the alkaloids
of coffee. Give the children Postum
Food Coffee, the famous food drink,
which goes directly to nourish and
strengthen child or adult and when in
after days you glory in their strength
and ability, you can remember with
pride that your intelligence and care
about the food and drink in their child
hood made the sturdy men and women
they are. It is criminal to be careless.
1t pays well to give children nourish-
ing liquid food like Postum.

PAWNEE PROSPEROUS.
Population Shows an Increase of 800
Over Last Year.

Larned, Kan, May 2S.-From reports
made by the township assessors of
Pawnee county filed with the county
clerk an increase of 800 in the popula-
ton is shown. These figures prove con-
clusively that the short grass coun-
try is now in a fair way to regain what
she lost in the palmy boom days when
every town was going to have new
railroad with general offices and street
railways.
The increase in population in this
county at this time can be charged to
the great wheat crop of last year and
with a greater crop now in view the
complete redemption of western Kan
saS from the effects of the disastrous
boom of several years ago can not be
doubted.

Colored Advertising Schemes

Belvidere, Ill, May 2S.-The intense
feeling of patriotism has not diminished
in this city. While some of our brave
boys have gone to the front to expel
the Spanish from the Western Hemis-
phere, those that remain do not propose
that the symbol of Spanish rule or
treachery shall be exhibited among a
free and independent people. The Bel
videre Gun club has issued a notice
through the Belvidere papers request
ing that umbrellas painted in the Span
ish colOrs, which some of the merchants
here have supplied their wagons with,
be kept off the streets in the future
and stating that if the request was not
complied with measures would be i'm
mediately taken to enforce it.

forces in the Philippines and who ar

conference with Major General Otis

General Otis tomorrow will take up

He will enforce strict discipline in the
camps from now on.
Today Captain Hooper received in
structions from Washington ordering
him to proceed to Manila by the next
cutter Hugh McCulloch, to succeed Cap
tain Hodgeson, who is ordered home.
Arrangements have been made by
General Otis for the eSta bliShment of a
military hospital near the site of Fort
Richmond. Tents will be erected for
the sick soldiers and nurses will be al
ways in attendance. There are many
cases of measles and bronchial affec-
lions among the soldiers and the marine
hospital, which has been used temper
