wish to speak of one of the Rough
Riders whom | knew but slightly. but
whom / saw constantly about the camp
and on the march. and whom | admired
more as a soldier than almost any other
man i'm the regiment. This was Ser
geant Tiffany. who. by tradition n
previous environment, was apparently
the least suited of men to perform the
work he was ordered to do. But he
played the part given him as well as II
could have been played. He was the
ideal sergeant, strict i'm discipline to
himself and to others, doing more thai

bullet passed through his hat. as one
did when he charged the blockhouse AT
san Juan. He stood at salute n took
his orders from men with whom for
many years he had been a college mate
and a club mate. recognizing in them
only his superior officers, and there was
not a muleskinner or c~owpuncher in
the regiment that did not recognize i'm
him something of himself and some
thing finer and better than himself.
When Roosevelt promoted him to a
~lieutenancy for bravery at the battle of
San Juan. I heard him say:
Tiffany. ! am especially glad to give
you this step. because you are about
the only man who has never by sign
or word acted as though he thought he
deserved promotion. There are some
who are always very busy whenever |

they meant to say. See how humble !
am. and how strictly I attend to my
duties. You who nov how important
a person | am at home Will surely rec
ognize this and make me an officer.
But you have never acted as though
you expected to be anything but a ser
geant all your life. and you have done

chose to. They chose to try the remedy
that had cured others like themselves,
and thus they found a cure.
Running of the ears, deafness or all
other affections of the middle ear, are
dine primarily to chronic catarrh. Run
ming of the ear is properly called
chronic suppurative catarrh. Pe-ru-na
will cure catarrh of the middle ear,
as well as catarrh located elsewhere.
This has been proven over and over
again in innumerable cases besides the
ones just mentioned. Deafness and run
ming OF the ears are but symptoms of
chronic catarrh of the middle ear. Pc
ru-na cures the catarrh, when the symp-
toms disappear, whether il be running
ears or deafness or n other affection
of the middle ear. The remedy is COM
pounded according to the formula orig
lnally devised by DIR. Hartman of the
Surgical Hotel, Columbus, o., the noted
catarrhal authority.
Following are few cases of catarrh of
the middle ear, i'm which a permanent
cure was made by the use Of Pe-ru-na.
These, OF course, are only examples of
the many thousands of cases which DIR.
Hartman has cured. The first case, Mr..

SHORT ON FEED.
Daily Migration of Cattle Herds
From the South.

As the season advances and the
drouth continues, it is daily becoming
more and more apparent that there will
be absolutely no pasturage for live
stock in the lower half Of the State,
and not very much in the middle sec
ton. In the more northern counties
only has there been rain enough to pro-
duce feed for stock, and thither cattle,
horses and sheep are being driven in
great numbers. A great many cattle
and sheep passed through Sacramento
yesterday en- route to Siskiyou County,
Landowners along the river, where
the water usually covers the fields un-
til away into midsummer, will have a
good thing of it this year. While a
great deal Of the Yolo basin is still un-
der wafer, it is rapidly evaporattng,
and as it recedes the grass springs up.
These meadow and tule bottoms will be
much sought after during the summer
by stock-owners, but they will have TO
pay pretty stiff rates for pasturage.
Hay increases in price almost daily,
and those who failed to lay in stock
last winter when it was cheap will be
in a bad fix this year.

Several Grand Army men left here
yesterday, and more will leave to-day,
to attend the encampment at Nevada
City. The attendance from Sacra-
mento would have been much greater
if Frank Miller had remained candl-

election was a foregone conclusion, but
business engagements necessitated his
withdrawal, for the present year at
least. His comrades in Sacramento
paid him the compliment of refusing
to recommend any other candidate
from Sacramento at this encampment.

(Signed) CHARLES SHALER,
Acting Chief of Ordnance"
General Barrett, however, persisted
in his effort to get good guns for the
worthless articles on hand, and wrote
several letters to the Ordnance Depart
ment, but in each instance the reply
was that under the Act Of 1897 Califor-
MIA would have to worry along with
the guns on hand.
The Adjutant- General, when he found
there was no longer any use to i'm
plore assistance from the War Depart
ment, applied to the California Sena-
tors and Representatives, requesting
them to have a resolution adopted al
lowing of an exchange Of guns with
this State.
All the 1Congressnen and both Sen
ators promised to do all in their power
| to secure an exchange, and the fol-
| lowing resolution was offered in the
Senate by Senator White, and in the
| House by Congressman de Vries:
BE it resolved, That the Secretary
of War be, and he is hereby author
/ lied to issue to the State of California,
| for the use of the National Guard OF
said State. $500 improved Springfield
rifles. caliber 40. model 1884, and to
receive in exchange therefor like
number of unserviceable Springfield RI
fes heretofore issued to the State OF
California under the provisions OF the
! several Acts of Congress.
Provided. That the same can be done
in the Judgment Of the Secretary of
War. without prejudice to the public
service"
The resolution was laid on the table
and still lies there, and the Califor-
MIA militia still has the same old, obso-
lete 1873 model Springfield rifles, many
of which, according to reports on flle
| in the Adjutant-G Generals office, must
be repaired before they can be used
and from great numbers of which every
vestige of the "rifling'' or twist has
been worn out, and they are Of no more
effect than so many old Tennessee
smoothbores.
/ General Barrett has kept on agi-
tating the matter, and on Friday last
he received the following from Con-
gresham de Vries, which tends to show
that the War Department is still OBJ
stinate, and insists on no exchange:
