WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, fulills
every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
inability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
Of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity OF being COM
PEELED to go often during the day, and to
get up many times during the night. The
milo and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. II you need
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists, fifty cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells mole about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your
address to DIR. Kilmer & Co, Bingham

BACK FROM CUBA
JOHN MCNEIL ARRIVES TODAY
FROM NEW HOME HOSPITAL
He Is one of the First of Our Brave Boys
to Return From the Cuban Battle
fields. A Warm Reception Accord
ed Him by His Many Friends.

This morning one of the brave lads
who passed through the campaign in
Cuba during the recent war arrived in
the city, and as he is an old Dalles boy
and one who has contributed several
descriptive letters to this paper, as well
as one who has taken an active part in
various battles duriL G that war, his
friends and the CHRONICLE take singu-
lar delight in welcoming him home. The
young man who is receiving such a
hearty welcome is none other than John
A. Mcneil of troop G. 1st United States
Cavalry. Shortly after his troop went
aboard the transports to come to Long
Island he was taken sick with typhoid
fever and was sent to the hospital in
New Haven, Connecticut. AS soon as
he was well enough to travel he got a
thirty days turlough to visit his relatives
and friends in this city and will remain
here until about October 18th.
He has an interesting story to tell of
his adventures since the opening of the
war.At that time he was member of the
regular army at Fort Sheridan, Illinois,
anu III IuO AISb OlNISlO1 vi liJO al LII
10 go to Cuba, and was the second man
of the regulars to set foot on Cuban soil.
He went through the war with Lieuten-
ant Davis, being a member of Wheeler 8
Brigade. He was in the heat of the bat
tie of Las Guamas on June 24th in the
charge of San Juan Hill and the battle
at that place which lasted two and one
hall days, also took part in the siege of
Santiago, which lasted over seven days.
He has been very fortunate and has
seen comrades fall all around him, but
passed through with but one scar, which
he received on the right side of the face
rom bursting shell. The nearest call
he had to being shot was having bull
let pass through his canteen.
He is an interesting talker and one
could listen to him relate for hours the
incidents of the campaign. Unlike the
volunteers, the regulars, of which he is
one, have no complaint to make con-
cerning the treatment they received,
and although the climate of Cuba is very
disagreeable, still he would cheerfully

er's experince in Libby prison with an
occasional glimpse on the dark side.
Bishop McCabe was the chaplain of the
122d Ohio regiment, and he paid high
tribute to its bravery, saying that it en-
tered the war 975 strong and came out
with 200. The speaker detailed the cir
custances that led to his capture and in.
generation in Libby prison, following
with vivid description of his experien-
ces afterward until he was exchanged
and taken to Washington. He told of
the songs the prisoners sung, the man
ner in which they spent their time, and
detailed how the great prison, with its
more than 600 prisoners, obtained books
and became a university of learning.
Nearly the entire audience came forward
and shook hands with the bishop and
tanked him for his fine lecture. There
were a number of the members of the G.
A. R. present, and they were especially
pleased

A ADELIGHTFUL LECTURE.
Geo. 81. j Johnston of This City Has Heard
Bishop McCabe-What He Says of
His Lecture.

Today we received the following testi-
monial from Mr.. Johnston, who is an en-
ployee OF the New York Cash store. He
says: Two years ago at Beloit, Kansas,
L had the privilege OF listening to Chap
lain Bishop McCabe, in his intensely in
teresting lecture, "The Bright Side of
Life in Libby Prison." From beginning
to end he held his audience spell bound,
his many funny incidents eliciting roars
of laughter, while his pathetic pictures
of prison life filed all eyes with tears.
1t is a great treat to listen to so gifted a
man, and am glad again have the op-
portunity. GEO. H. JOHNSON,

7 Last night about ten O'Clock rain be-
gan falling aud continued until this
morning at o'clock. A few showers tell
To-day, and in all, precipitation of over
one half inch. AS nearly every farmer
in the country has his grain threshed
the rainfall will do but little damage
and great benefit will be done the
dusty roads over which they have to
haul their produce. Some farmers who
have their grain sacks piled in the field
along side of their straw stacks may have
| had some difficulty in protecting it from
getting wet, but it is likely the vast
majority of the farmers have their grain
under shelter.
u A bad wreck occurred on the o. r. &
N. at Bonneyville yesterday evening. A
west bound freight was standing on the
track at that place when double header
crashed into its rear demolishing seven
cars and blocking the track for several
hours. As far as could be learned no
one was injured, full particulars could
not be learned, however, as the officials
refuse to speak on the subject. The
wreck was probably caused by careless
ness on the part of someone, but to
whom the blame is attributed cannot as
yet be SAID. The east bound passenger
train which was due here at IL 40 last
night did not arrive until this morning
and the early morning train was also
delayed.
The Wizard Oil Company put on
splendid show last night at the Baldwin
Opera House. In fact it is hard to

number OF beautiful presents were given
away to those holding reserved seat
tickets, while the best features of the
| performance were Mr.. Arnaldo in the
balancing feat of heavy and light articles,
| Mr.. Neverker the contortionist, Mr..
Howard the impersonator, Morton and
Melville in their black faced turns, Jer-
ry Sullivan the funny little man in his
acIobatic feats and singing and Mr..
Gallagher in his all around comedy
work, while a number of others assisted
in their sketches and farce comedies.

with privileges to draw on articles which
are ratified, ten cents extra.
