dicious person who is out of health.
The underlying cause ofnervous debility,
apparent in headaches, dyspepsia, Sleep
lessness and neuralgia, is faulty nutrition
of the entire system.
So long as the blood is pale, watery
and hampered by bad humors the nerves
cannot assimilate proper nourishment,
no matter how much food is taken into
the system. Paine's celery compound
arouses hearty appetite, regulates the
bowels and brings about normal ac-
ton of the liver.
This is the sweeping and thorough
manner in which Paine's celery COM
pound frees the system not only rheuma-
tism, eczema, salt rheum and other dis
eases due to impure blood; but also Of
neuralgia, sleeplessness and nervous head.
aches and dyspepsia that are brought
about by a run down" state of the
nerves.
The use of Paine's celery compound
makes all the difference between impure,
sluggish blood and tired nerves; and
healthy, energetic bodily condition.

Gov. Elisha Dyer was elected Cover

Gov. Dyer is graduate from Brown

The Vermont regiment at Chickamauga
has been given permission to recruit the
number OF 81 men to a company. The
regiment lacks about SO men to take the
places of those who were detailed to the
hospital corps. The recruits are not to be
solicited from Vermont, for the reason
that Vermont has already furnished
more than her share of volunteers, hav-
ing done so under the first call and the
tact that the new members will not be
from the Green Mountain state is causing
some dissatisfaction among the men.
Col. Mimms has received an order from
Gen. Grant relative to target practice,
which contained some very fine sugges-
tions, as Col. Mimms expressed it. The
chief suggestion was that while one man
holds his rifle ready to fire, another man
is to place 6ve-cent piece on the gun,
then the man who shoots the gun is ex-
pected to do so without jarring the piece
of money off.

The Bennington and Rutland Railway
company moved into the new marble de-
pot that has Just been completed at Ben,
nington July IL. The old depot, frame
structure OF good size, stood few rods
away, and the railroad company decided
to tear it down. A locomotive was
called into service and large cable was
secured to one side of the building. Two
or three turns of the drive wheels and
nearly the entire part of one side of the
old building fell with loud crash. Pro-
ceeding in the same way on the other
narts of the structure the whole lay in
complete ruin in an hour or more: The
locomotive had accomplished a job in
that brief time that would have required
a gang of men several days to do.

Precautions Against Typhoid.
CAMP THOMAS, Friday, July

NAMP HOMAS, rIluay, jury 10.
The companies were instructed in the
manual this morning. Inspection of
quarters was held at 10 O'Clock and as
soon as drill was over preparations were
made for it. The condition and arrange
ment of the tents were found to be gener-
ally satisfactory. In accordance with
orders recently issued all of the drinking
water used in the camp of the LIST YER
mont is to be filtered. In this way the
chance OF disease from this source is re-
duced to minimum and as further
precaution guard is kept night and day
over the stand-pipe where the water is
drawn and over the filtering apparatus
so as to remove every possibility of con.
tamnation from external causes. This
will no doubt greatly lessen the anxiety
of the friends at home who have been
worried lest typhoid fever should get
start in the camp.
despatch from Siboney gives the fol-
lowing in reference to Gen. Joe Wheeler:
To the splendid generalship Of Gen. Joe
Wheeler as much as to any other cause
is due the reported successes OF the Amer
lean forces around Santiago. To see this
white-haired veteran astride his horse,
leading the regiments under his COM
mand, made up almost entirely of North
ern men, is sight to stir the heart OF
every American who remembers that
there was once Mason and Dixon line
in the United States.
The camp here is ringing with praise OF
| Wheeler, and at the same time good
story of his words during desperate
charge is going the rounds. AS he was
leading the Seventy-hrst New York, the
Roosevelt Rough Riders and strong
force Of regulars up high hill at Sar
Juan, storming large body OF Spaniards
who were strongly intrenched, the at
lacking line began to waver under fierce
fire from gatling guns and strong helt
pieces.
Wheeler saw his men waver, and began
shouting at the top OF his voice, while thu
guns were roaring and the small arm!
rafting:
"Steady, boys. Come on, now. Tit
Yankees are giving way. Look Their
they go. The Yankees are leaving thei
guns" and suddenly catching himself, L,
cried out even more vigorously:
Damn it mean the Spaniards ar,
running. Go for EN-, boys!"
Despite the hail of Mauser and Spring
field bullets, the rain of shrspnel ant
gatliug fire, the soldiers laughed at thei
old Generals absent-minded memory O
other days. But they did "go for EN-
Instantly the wavering line took new
confidence, the gaps closed and in q
minutes San Juan was taken.

Watson's Squadron.

The Flagship Newark, battle-ships
Iowa and Oregon, cruisers Yosemite,
Yankee, and Dixie, and the golfers Scan.
dia, Abarenda, and Alexander, compose
the squadron under Commodore John
Chittenden Watson that is to lombard
Spanish cities and capture the Canary
islands. Orders have been given to
complete all preparations so that Wat
sons squadron may sail for Spain by the
end OF this week. Two of the golfers
which are to accompany the expedition
are at Norfolk for the purpose of having
light batteries placed on them. The
officer in charge OF the work estimated
that it would take two weeks more to
get those batteries together and have
them mounted.
This meant delay, and an order has
been given that the work be completed
this week, or else that the golfers go
without their light batteries. The same
vier is taken as to the condition of the
ships.
Porto Rico Next.
An important conference was held at
the White house Sunday, the participants
being, besides President Mckinley, Sec
rotary Long, Admiral Sicard, and Capt.
Mahan of the war board. Adjt. Gen.
Corbin was present during part of the
deliberations.
The happy conclusion of the campaign
against Santiago affords the President
and advisers intense satisfaction, but no
indisbosition is manifested to let the war
rest for a moment. Even before the de-
tails of the Santiago campaign have
been cleared away the expedition against
Porto Rico absorbs the attention of the
President. He fully realizes that the war
can be prosecuted to speedy and sue
cessful issue only by pressing the advan-
tages already gained, and, as one OF the
officials has expressed, 1.-THE President
proposes to strike while the iron is hot"
In a conference between Gen. Brooke
and Secretary Alger Monday, the general
reported that his army is now ready and
it is believed that they can be embarked
within fortnight.
While positive selection has not vet
been it is understood that Newport News

 A few days ago Teddy Edwards, the consecutive century rider, gave a re- markable exhibition of sand" at De- troit, He got up in the morning suf- fering intense pain from an attack of cholera morbus, and was so ill that on attempting to move about he tainted, A hastily summoned doctor braced him up so that by noon he was able to stand on his feet, and, although very shaky, he mounted his chainless wheel and started on his daily century ride accom- panied by his trainer. He ate nothing until six o'clock In the evening, after having ridden sixty miles. After a light supper he again started out and easily completed his century. The next day he showed only slight effects of his illness.
 The world is regarding the develop ment of motor vehicles with intense in terest, and there is no longer any ques- tion as to their practicality The stor- age battery has been successfully adapted to the most luxurious pleasure vehicles ever built, and, while nothing can compare with the electric carriage of the highest grade, the gasolene en- zine appears to possess large possibili- ties. particularly In the direction of bus mess traffic. It may be safely assumed that ere long 'horseless traction will fill an important place in the locomo- tive methods of trade as well as in the interest of the pleasure-seeker.
