Ernest N. Smith, who has been
at Santiago two months with the list
Illinois volunteers, arrived home
Monday morning on 6o-days' fur
Tough, coming here from. Chicago,
from which city he enlisted last
May. He has kept in fair health
throughout the campaign in Cuba
and he returns minus but little
weight and color, and with an ex-
ccllent and continuous appetite.
His regiment reached Siboney July
9, and that night tramped ten miles
to Santiago over terrible roads and
all the streams on the line
Of march. The next morning the
regiment took its place in the trench
es on the firing line, being assigned
to Il responsible position in the CEN
tire. The flag of truce had not yet
gone up and mauser bullets were fly
ing over their heads with their pecu-
liar shrieking sound, but they didn't
mind them much after the first few
had passed harmlessly by. The lst
Illinois men were in the trenches
three days, though not all were on
duty there at one time. After the
surrender they were moved back on
the San Juan hills and for most of
the two months spent near Santiago
they were guarding the Spanish
prisoners. A few of the prisoners
could speak English and all seemed
to be glad that the fighting was
over. The heat was intense and
camp fare about as ''rocky" as form
or reports have male it. Altogether
it was an experience that he values,

Secretary Eaton states that the
outlook for successful coaching
parade at the fair is excellent. He
has received assurances from a
of individuals and business
houses that they would take part,
and this seems to show that there
are enough people interested to
make an imposing display. 1t is
hoped there will he a large repre-
sentatlon of business houses in line,
as this feature promises to make the
most picturesque part of the parade.
