ahead of them on that score. We drew
our government pay but the state has
not paid us anything yet None of us
have anything to kick about what we
have to eat, for believe we are fed as
good as any. Our troop has oat meal,
milk, sugar, bacon and potatoes fried and
coffee for breakfast. At dinner we have
cabbage soup, tomato, roast beef, brown
gravy, and nearly every other day some
kind of pudding. Then for supper we
have good hash, cold baked beans and
tea. You can see that our canteen pays
in more ways than one, We have not
had hardtack but two times since we
came here the first of June. Bread
comes to the commissary warm. We
could not stand the work we have TO do
if it were not for good eating. We are
called at 4.30 in the morning, have
breakfast at 900 and go to the stable to
groom, water and saddle our horses for
drill and go to drill at 600 Then we
have mounted drill. first with carbines
than sabre. We then dismount and
fight on foot. We have from II 30
until :00 o'clock to rest and then go
out again and stay until ;00. We then
come in and get ready for dress parade
which comes every evening at six o. clock.

It is hard telling when we will get

as all of the boys are anxious TO see
some active service. We have had some
terrible hot weather and also very dry
but last night it rained little and has
been some cooler. One good thing about
this place is no matter how hot it is in

From One of the 32d Boys.

The following letter was written by
Milton Holmes with the 32d Mich, at
Tampa, to his mother and was very
kindly handed us for publication.
In Camp, TAMPA FLA, July 10, 1898
My DEAR MOTHER:
couldn't write you yesterday because
l was on guard and it rained all day and
night. There were three reliefs so you
see was on two and off four hours.
The rain came down in torrents and
rolled up in my rubber blanket and slept
in a small lake. / am having lots of de-
lightful experience, don't you think :
slept fairly we'll in the lake however
and l woke up much easier than when
occupying my comfortable bed at home.
Don't think you wi have to call me so
many times in the morning when I re-
turn. j hear many of the boys say they
will enjoy the comforts of home much
better after such experience, although
our boys are nearly crazy to move toward
the front since the wounded have been
sent in from Santiago They tell diff
ferent story about the battle than you
see in the papers. They say the Span
iards fired on the Red Gross and Am
bulance Corps and they were exposed to
their fire while being carried to the rear.
There are about three hundred and fifty
wounded here now and some have gone
on north. Some of the wounded boys
are in an awful hurry to get well so they
can go back. They say they will show
the Spaniards the same kind of mercy
they were shown. Yesterday
talked all the afternoon with one Of the
Ionia boys of the 33d Reg. who was in
the battle. He as wounded twice in
the head but refused to be sent home
He is going back to join his Company
again as soon as he is we'll enough.
He knew me at once but / did not re-
cognize him. He told me he was the
fellow that played against me in the
foot ball game at Ionia last fall and of
course we were acquainted at once and
had splended visit. When we see
their wounds and talk with them we are
anxious to get out of this mud hole and
move on toward the front. We are
nearly flooded out here 1t has rained
hard for three days Harlock and l
worked all day last Sunday putting a
floor in our tent to keep out water, dirt
and disease. Do you think it was
wrong to work on Sunday in such a
cause? We expect to be moved out OF
this rotten place in few days, where
we do not know but must leave as lots
of the boys are getting sick. There are
five from our Company in the hospital.
l am as we'll as usual but don't weigh
quite as much as when l left home.
Yours with love,
MILTON

her fathers death Miss DeRussy has
lived in Detroit with her mother with
the exceptions of what time they have
spent here at The Alma, Mrs. DeRussy
being an invalid part of the time. 1t

met and the friendship was formed
which later ripened into love and was
consummated yesterday by their
marriage.
The groom, Mr. John Trust Sickel, is
"A prominent man on the Board of Trade
of Chicago and is well and favorably
known in social circles in that city. He
came to The Alma for Health anC

WINTER CELERY.


When and How to store It. Late
Growth and Keeping.
It is we'll to bear in mind that un-
blanched celery will Withstand several
degrees Of frost without any bad effect,
but blanched celery is very susceptible
to frost. For this reason It should be
stored much earlier than the other,
which had better be left out until near
Thanksgiving, or as late az possible, ao-
cording to the weather outlook. The
best time to put it in is from Oct. 30
to Nov. 20, according to latitude and
section of country. To the foregoing
timely suggestion from correspondent
Of American Gardening is added the
following from the same journal:
After testing the various methods Of
storing celery for winter use I am con-
WINGED that. for my own purpose at
least, the one I herewith describe is
best. / use Giant Pascal and New Rose
for winter, and plant three rows close
together (six or seven inches apart,
and the plants about the same distance
apart in the rows. The ground is heav-

News and Notes.
So far as heard from, the rate of yield
Of potatoes in different sections varies
greatly.
The last crop report Of the depart
ment of agriculture gives no average
condition of tobacco for the whole coun-
try, but reports for nearly all the i'm.
portant tobacco growing states from 80
per cent Gas in the case Of kentucky
to SO per cent (as in the case of Ten
nessee) Of full crop.
In regard to clover seed the govern
ment's crop circular states that it is
manifest from the reports that have
been received that the acreage is less
than it was last year, and that the con-
dition is in the main unfavorable. In
many states there has been a more or
less extensive conversion Of clover fields
to pasture, owing to the poor prospects.
The Ohio station concludes from
wheat tests that Velvet CHAT is best for
black lands, Valley for strong bottom
lands and Poole for lighter soils.
In comparative tests Of II varieties Of
rape at the Minnesota station Dwarf
Essex produced the largest yield.

WORD OF ADVICE.
Our readers are cautioned to make ar
rangementS for tickets beyond st. Paul and
Minneapolis with their home ticket agent OF
the Minneapolis g. st. Louis railroad there
by saving in nearly all cases not less than
$3.50 in the cost as compared with what it
will amount to If you pay local fare to the
cities. All rate disturbances have ceased
and you cannot hope to get ticket in the
Twin Cities at less than full tariff rates.
Always consult the nearest Minneapolis &
ST. Louis railroad agent as he will be able to
obtain full information about routes, lowest
rates, ETC., and can sell tickets and check
baggage through to destination, avoiding all
trouble or care after you start.
We have found that the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad always gives the lowest
rates and best accommodation 1873

SHANTY HOUSE FOR LETTUCE.
stitution Of high repute among Phila-
delphia gardeners, is quoted by Rural
New Yorker from an extensive grower:
''Both frames and shanty houses are
built right on the ground. There is no
hotbed foundation or anything more
than field cultivation. Owing to the
way the structures are built we can re-
move the whole thing and work up the
ground with horse and pillow or cul-
tivator. The frame is built with boards
laid right on the top of the ground, the
sashes over them. The shanty houses
are built just like the frames as to the
bed, but ridgepole and rafters are set
up, and, instead of single line of sash,
there is double row meeting at the
top to form high pitched roof. The
roof is much sleeper than that of a
greenhouse, having pitch of about six
inches to the foot.
''The sides are formed with single
board one foot high, this being nailed
to short posts in the same manner as
one would do for a cold frame. The
center posts and ridgepole are made of
by scantling. The roof is composed
of 6 by foot sashes nailed or screwed
to the sides and ridge The ends are
closed in with barn boards, or any kind
Of cheap lumber, and door about 2 by
feet inches for entrance. There are
no raised beds, the lettuce being plant
ed on the ground level. The shanty
houses catch and hold greater body Of
heat than the frames and hurry the
salad along"

The petit jury was called for ten
o'clock this morning. There we're 40
civil cases on the calendar, in addition
to which there will be the criminal
cases in which the grand jury will re-
turn indictments. But of the civil
cases eight relate to the answer to the
Winona and St. Peter Railroad Co.,
in the matter of the proceedings to
collect real estate taxes since 1889 and
up to and including 1896 The cases
of the Flour City National Bank vs..
F. L. Warner and W. P. Huntington
will be wiped off the calendar this
term, satisfactory settlement hav-
ing been arrived at. The same
disposition will probably be reached
in the case of Kate Geraldson vs.. the
stockholders of the Citizens Bank,
satisfactory adjustment having been
made in that case, as we'll as nearly all
of the other creditors.
The case of Herman Werder VS..
Park Worden and Joseph Tyson, is an
act on to recover title to tract of land
in Paxton, about which there was more
or less dispute when Mr.. Worden,
through Q. L. Dornberg, gave the deed
to Joseph Tyson. Another case that
will probably be placed on the calen-
dar before the term is concluded, is the
one of %. L. Dornberg vs.. G. L. Holmes,
an action to recover a sum of money as
commission. It appears that Mr..
Dornberg sold part of the Holmes
farm, Mr.. Holmes having signed con-
tract to sell. Afterwards Mr.. Holmes
repudiated the contract, and Mr.. Dorm
berg has sued for his commission.
