THE ToWN q Noaoop.


Ny friend, have you heard Of the town Of NozoOd
On the banks Of the River Slow,
WHARF blooms the WaitaWhiIs flower fair,
Where the SomstimeOrother scents the air
And the soft GOeasys grOEf
It lies IN the valley OF Whatsthsuss.
In the province Of Lsterslide
ThattiredfeeliRE is native there.
It's the home Of the reckless Idonteare,
Where the GiVeituDs abide
It stands at the bottom Of Lazy hin.
And is easy to reach, I declare,
You've only to fold up your hands and glide
Down the slope Of WeakEin's t0boggan slide
To be landed quickly there.
The town Is as old as the human race.
And it grows with the fight Of years.
It Is wrapped in.the fog Of idlsr's dreams,
Its streets are paved with discarded schemes
And Sprinkled with useless tears.
The COuegebredEool and the Richman's heir
Are plentiful there, no doubt.
The rest Of its crowd ara a motley crew,
With every class save one In view
The FOoIkilIer, he's barred out.
The town of NogOOd is all hedged about
By the mountains Of Despair.
No sentinel stands on its gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there.
Ny friend, from the dead-alive town, NogOOd,
If you would keep Tar away,
Just follow your duty through good and III,
Take this for your motto. 81 can, viii,
And live up to it each day.

LOVE ENDS A WAY.
Walter Croker and Miss Birdie Virgins
Run Away to Be Married.

Waiter Croker and Miss Birdie Virgins
Run Away to BE Married.
The eastbound train that left Good
land Monday morning had amCng its
passengers Walter Croker and Miss
Birdie Virgins, two souls with but 8
single thought, and that thought was
to have their hearts beat as one.
Walter and Birdie have been sweet
hearts for over q year, and why
shouldn't they get married. Walter
was a good steady boy, Birdie a nice
looking girl, and would make a good
wife for Walter, who was only looking
ahead to the day when he could call
Birdie as his own.
Objections were made to the match
by the brides father. It might have
been because Walter was too young.
Some other reasons may have been
the cause for papa not giving consent.
The only way Of escape was to elope.
They also knew that a good time to fly
was when papa was away.
George Virgins, father Of the bride,
is absent from home, and somehow
Birdie succeeded in giving her older
sister the slip Sunday night to join her
intended husband.
1t is said their destination was
Omaha where the matrimonial knot
was tied long before this item reaches
the readers eye.
Birdie left note to her sister saying
that they were off to be married and
their future address would be Omaha,
Neb.

not discover his mistake until he had

for the coach he told the Infatuated

should kick his tender behind, as that

There WIS time when the white, shin
ing bones Of the buffaloes that we're
slain by Indians and hunters before
the advent Of the homesteaders, could
be seen thickly dotting the prairie as
far as the eye could reach. In the days
Of the early settlement Of this country
the bones we're picked up and hauled
to the railroad and sold at prices rang
ing from 90 to go per ton. The use to
which these bones we're put was the
fsFtilizing Of the worn out side hills OF

Washington, July 12.-The Impression
prevailed in official circles when public
business closed for the day, that the
flag of truce set in the Spanish lines
at Santiago at . o'clock, yesterday al
ternoon, was still flying and that nego-
! tiations continued looking to a sur
resnder The basis OF these negotia-
tions naturally could not BE very broad
in view of the injunction the President
laid upon Gen. Shafter, to accept moth
| ing less than unconditional surrender,
but it is supposed that time may be
consumed through the Indulgence of
Gen. Shafter in allowing the Spanish
commander to communicate by cable
with Gen. Blanco in the effort to OBJ
tain his consent to surrender.
Gen. Toral undoubtedly has before
| his eyes the vindictive abuse heaped
upon the unfortunate naval comman-
| der Cervera, for surrcnderins at all.

the direction of Blanco in his own ease.
1t is not generally known that in re-

squadron, Cervera received Il most

such is the use. Rlanco's purpose in

val, from surrendering under any con-
dition. and in the case of Toral it APP
pears that he has made a strong I'M
preston.
Nevertheless, confidence wakes in the
speedy fall of Santiago though many
officers fear that the nest will be found
empty and the birds flown when the
American troops make their entry into
the town. Still, should this be the case
it may be fairly claimed that the prime
object Of the movement on Santiago,
namely the destruction of the Spanish
squadron. having been achieved, the
campaign. as a whole, has been sue
ceSSful.
Gen. Miles report, today. indicated
that he had found unexpected physical
difficulties to contend with, and he is
apparently greatly pleased with the
progress made by the army under the
prevailing conditions. He has not as
sumed command as is evidenced by his
message.
The most important result of the
cabinet deliberations, today, was the
order to remove the mines which
guard all the cost ports. Many mill
tary men were opposed to yielding to
the pressure of the commercial in

Artesian Wells Are to Solve
the Vexed Water Question.
WatermeIons Prove a Godsend to
the LIST Maine Boys.
Fears thai Typhoid Fever May Have Struck
the Camp.

Chickamauga Park, July 12.-(Spec-
iaD.-With the exception of the intense
heat of the past three weeks there has
been almost unbroken monotony. Each
day has followed the other like an end
less procession. Even the drills have
not furnished variety in the general
run of affairs.
There is one thing that has not been
monotonous and that is the heat. From
one day to II other it has been
matter of guess work as to whether or
not the next day can be any warmer.
In consequence of the heat the men
have suffered greatly and this COM
bincd with the poor quality of the food
has so taken away the strength of the
men that many are on the verge of
sickness.
Several of the members of the 1st
Maine are confined to the division hos
pital. What the sickness is no one yet
knows. Aside the doctors say they
think the trouble is typhoid III the
men who are sick tn" word is given
out that it is simply repetition N the
sickness that the men experienced
when they first arrived here. The doc
tors shake their heads though and are
fearful of the results although they
do not yet pronounce the trouble
typhoid
Now and then the men have n
chance to get a piece Of ice but it is
entirely different from the ice which
the men have in the habit of having
The ice furnished here is artificial and
not of the hard. blue type which the
men had while in Maine. 1t is ice and
cool though and on account of it the
men are thankful.
There is n good deal of uneasiness
among some of the men who fear that
it is now only a question time before
they VIII return home without eyer
seeing Santiago or Spaniard. The
most enthusiastic now that they are
here and have suffered so much of the
discomforts are anxious to saw they
have seen a battle or have been in one.
The discomfort of the Maine BOYS
does not for an instant compare with
that of the Massachusetts boys. They
expected to be ordered away three
weeks ago and are still here. For that
reason there is no end to the discon-
tent.

true, for the desire in the men to fight
