of Butler The grand old state loves
to see its sons 90 forth to battle
and its daughters enlist in hospital
service to see that those sons are
properly nursed when wounded or
invalided. and then the two fell IN
love with one another when the
stress of conflict is past. It would
have been ashamed of both Captain
Johnson and Miss Bachelor if they
had permitted any other ending to
their romance than the silvery chime
of wedding bells following the rude
clauging Of wars alarms, Patriot
ism aud poetry go hand in hand IN
Missouri.

TRuE MISSOURI BLOOD.

editorial in st. Louis Republic
When war against Spain was De
clared and the patriotic young men
o: this country began volunteering
TOR army service, whIle the equally
patriotic young women commenced
to train for duty as hospital nurses,
it was foregoue conclusion that
Cupid would be prompt TO enter a
field SO promising for his low and
arrow practice.
The eternal Yerities of romance
demanded that the Spanish war
should not end devoid Of that newt
able Incidental result of al! wars
since the world began-the love
story, eliminates in blissful mairi
mony; of the warrior nursed back to
health By womaa's tender care; help
less Mars on hospital cot ioyfully
surrendering to Venus at her best
And it was inevitable, also, that If
any of this sort of thing was to be
done, a Missouri man and Mis-
souri maid should be notable among
the actors.
Wherefore, it is pleasant to read
how gallant Captain Johnson of the
Second Missouri Noluntee eers, trolght
back from the jaws Of death BY the
devoted ministrations otpretty Lucy
Bachelor, from his native town of
Butler, fell so desperately in love
with her that nothing but wedding
right in the hospital 81 Lexington,
Ky, would satisfy him Such a de
termination was commandably cha--
acseristic of an ardent Missouri VOL
unteer. aud It was also characteristic
of the typical sensible Missouri girl
that Hiss Bachelor consented Still
further Is it eminertly characteristic
that Immediately after the marriage
the news report should have been
teleeraphed back to Missouri that
Captain Johnson's recovery now
seems assured" We should say SC.
Missouri is justly proud of the
wartime romance Of brave Captain
johnson and sweet Lucy BacheIor

Camp Hamilton. Lexington, KY,
Nov. Captain Vernon L. John
son of Co. B, Second Missouri Vol
unteers. and Miss Lucy Bachelor,
an accomplished young lady of But
ler, Mo, and niece of Jacob d Allen,
editor of the BUTLER TIMES, were mar
ried 10 st. Joseph's Hospital, Lex
ington to day.
Captain johnson contracted ma
larial fever in Chickamauga last July
and went home On leave Of absence.
He returned to his command before
he had fully recovered, grew rapidly
worse and was taken to st. JOseph's
Hospital in Lexington more dead
than alive His affianced wife and
his mother came to assist in nursing
him back to health, and for two
months have been constantly at his
bedside. His recovery now seems
assured. His mother will return to
her home. The young wife Will re-
main with her husband.
Butler Democrat Nov. Attn
The Democrat received telegram
from Lieut. Ben z. Wade that Capt.
Johnson and Miss Lucy Bachelor
were married Thursday but the mes
sage came too late for that evening s
paper.
1t is a piece Of news which is 8
most pleasant surprise to the many
friends of this most estimable couple
in this city whose engagement had
long been known among their init
mate associates.
The contracting parties are SO
we'll known here that there is little
we could say that would add to the
high esteem in which both are held.
Captain Johnson has grown to man
hood in Butler. He is a young man
of excellent character and is truly
worthy of the noble young woman
who has joined her hand and fortune
with his at such trying hsur. Mics
Batchelcr rendered herself very pop
ular while in the Butler post office
and her lady-like deportment and
refined manner won the good epin
ion of all. She is an admirable
young lady and will make model
wife.
The Democrat is pleased to extend
congratulations to the happy pain
and hopes, with many other friends,
to soon welcome Captain Johnson
and his bride home on furlough.

WHAT TO DO,

There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed that Dr. kilmcr's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, tultills
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 the use OF liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the dav, and TO get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect Of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures OF the most dis
tressing cases. If YOU need medicine

Prevent
pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia Is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago had severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. l could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in wretched
condition. l procured q bottle OF Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound as before the attack. L
have recommended it in many cases of pneu-
monia since, and have never known 1t to fall
in eHecting cure"
JOHN HENRY, St. Joseph, La.
al was attacked with a cold that settled
on my lungs, and defied the skill of my ply
sicians so that they considered me incurable.
At last began to use Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was entirely cured after having taken
two bottles"

WASHINGTON. There is some appre-
hension here over the outbreak OF
seven cases of yellow fever at Nc
Henry, Miss, and steps have been
taken not only to check the spread of
the fever from McHenry, but to pre-
vent any possibility of an epidemic in
the south.
DR.. r. G. Giddings, of the Marine
Hospital Service, now stationed at
Tampa, has been ordered to proceed
directly to McHenry and take charge
: Of Camp Fontainebleu, where the pres
ent cases will be confined.
Surgeon Murray telegraphed that he
had gone to McHenry and confirmed
the diagnosis made by the state au-
thorities. The town is now guarded,
and Marine Hospital Surgeon Garter
is already there with Surgeon Murray
and the federal and state authorities
are cooperating.

BOMBARDED FORTIFlCATlONS
IN BAY OF GUANTANAMO.

Five Ships of the American Squadron Dl-
rected Heavy Fire Against Batteries.
A Wednesdays special from Cape
Haytien says: 1t is reported here that
great battle has taken place at
Caimanara, in the bay of Guanatana-
mo. At half past five yesterday morn
ing (Tuesday) five ships OF the Amerl-
can squadron opened a heavy bonn
bardment of the Notifications OF the
town. There was perfect hail OF bombs
in the bay, striking and demolishlng
many houses beyond the Notifications.
On the Spanish side the artillery re-
piled vigorously, maintaining for some
time stout resistance. The fire from
the warships, however, never slackeD-
ened for an instant. 1t was regulaf
and carefully directed and great ma
iority of the shcts proved effective.
The Spaniards were forced to aban-
don their positions on the shore and
retreat to the town of Caimanara
proper. 1t is supposed that later they
fIed from that position also with the
inhabitants.
Information mas reacheA here that
the Spanish at Santiago and Gamma
nara are preparing for a final des-
perate struggle, and are determi' to
resist the assaults of the Americans to
the last extremity.
The commander OF the district ls-
sued orders yesterday to burn Caima-
nara before daylight before yielding it
into the hands of the Americans. The
latter forced the entrance of the bay
of Guantanamo, and according to the
latest advices from Caimanara 1t was
feared that the Americans would make
an effort to land forces there this
Wednesday, afternoon. Measures to
prevent this, if possible, have been
taken by the Spanish, The American

ADVANCE ARMY ENCOUNTERS
SPANIARDS NEAR SANTIAGO.

Spanish Forces Sastafns a Crushing DE-
feat by American and Cuban Troops.
CAPE HAYTIEN, June 8.-American
troops are today fighting battles with
Spaniards under General Linares on
slopes of the hills to the west and
northward of the Santiago bay. The
object of the invaders is to gain
heights of the Mastra Hills, and par
ticuIarly Iona San Pabla, which COM
mands Santiago City. They have
already gained many points OF van
tage, and the Amerie artillery Is
shelling the enemy.
The American troops were dlsem-
barked a few miles east OF MORO.
Their landing was covered by several
American ships of war, and they were
protected from the land side by a
large body of Cuban troops from Gen
eral Garcia's command.
These Cubans appeared on the coast
at daybreak. The Spanlards had
little observation fort on the ridge be-
hind the Manganez dock with small
garrison. The Cubans charged straight
up the hill from the land side, whiie
the Americans, who had some distance
further to go, charged straight up the
slope from the coast. In twenty MN.
utes the rebels had gained pile OF
rocks from which they could shoot
down into the forts. The Spaniards
had wasted great deal of ammuni-
ton. and we're in no condition to with
stand the Cubans when they swarmed
over the parapet.
The Cuban flag was hoisted over
one end of the fort as the Americans,
with the stars and stripes, were clam
oring over the other. The Spanish
garrison fled and the Cuban and
American flags still remained floating
over the fort.
No report has been sent out as 10
the American losses, SO it is probable
. this first victory was bloodless one
for the invaders. !.
The captured hilltop is a point of
considerable importance, as 1t practi-
cally controls the bay of Aguadores.
The Americans at once landed some
artillery and dragged it up the SLOPE
