cH1L1REN WITH NERVES.
Their Unhappy Physical Condition
Made Worse by ScoldinE.


A word about nervous children. OF
course. there might be none. but there
are thousands Never scold them nor
make fun of them. They suffer
enough without your threats or sarcasm.
Pretend not to see their awkwardness
when in company. nor their grimaces
when alone. A case was discussed the
other day of a boy ten years old, who.
on being vexed. and otter withou. any
apparent provocation. will clench his
hands and make the most frightful con-
tortions Of the muscles of his face and
otic. By no means. He is the brightes,
boy in his class in school. fond of read
ing and of natural history. but he Is of
a highly nervous temperament, and has
not been taught to control the little
wires. so TO speak on which he is strung
This Is no single case. There are thou
sands of children. says a writer In the
London Mail. who give way to their
nerves in a like fashion. Talk to them
about these curious little fellows, that
should be their servants, not their mas
ters. Never chastise them. The man or
woman who whips a nervous child Is on
a level with brutes that have no reason.
Encourage them. Help them. Be pa
tient with them. They are the making
of our future successful men and wom-
en-. for they will work hard at whatever
they undertake. Brace up your own
nerves first. and then be indulgent to-
ward the capers of your over-nervous
children.

THE OCCUPATION OF CUBA.
Problems That Are Causing No Lit
tie Anxiety

A report. Original ing in the State. War
Gen. Lees troops, now quartered at
Jacksonville. will occupy Cuba as soon
as the terms of peace are agreed upon.
However gratifying it may be to con-
template the triumph of American arms
there is no disputing the fact that the
rapid movement of events is likely to Sc,
riously embarrass both the State and
War Departments.
An army of occupation for Cuba is
absolutely essential. Without 1t the ISL
and would be given over 10 anarchy and
riot.
At the same time. 1t would look like
homicide to send large bodies of North
ern troops into the fever-infected cities
at this season Of the year. What is to
be done? This question is being asked
persistentIy. OF course. 1t would be
absurd to ask the Spanish soldiers to re-
main and keep order after they agree
to eyacuate at this country's dictatlon.
The plan Is. according 10 opinions free
ly expressed at the department to have
Gen. Lee occupy Havana with a part of
his army as soon as the Spanish army
embarks. OF perhaps before they quit the
island. Yellow fever Is not raging In
Havana Other troops will be ser. TO
other parts. but with no expectation that
they remain long. The country will have
nearly 100000 soldiers at its disposal when
peace comes. and garrisons in Cuba can
be easily relieved a.: short intervals
Some of the smaller coast villages can
be policed by gunboats. II Is thought,
and when the rainy season is over the
work of establishing a stable govern
nent will begin.
Porto Rico presents no such problem
That island can be easily held and
there is not the slightest danger of dis
order.

PREACHER AS WELL AS BANDIT
A Captured Outlaw Who Figured n
an Evangelist

Bonesteel, s. D.. Aug. S-For four years
the Rev. Mr.. Hilgard has been known as
ona of the ablest evangelists in this part
of South Dakota. For nearly the same
period '.Ponca Jim" Montana Jack" and
the rest have been hated and feared as
the most daring and successful cattle
rustlers. horse thieves, highwaymen and
cutthroats on the range. 1t was only a
few days ago that the Rev. Mr.. Hilgard,
''Ponca Jim.' Montana Jack" ct al
were discovered to be one and the same
person.
He was captured after q hot chase
and now the people are in q Quandary as
to whether he should be lynched or al
lowed to continue to preach words of
sound advice to them from his evangei-
cal pulpit, particularly some Of his
friends insist that there must be some
mistake, or at least some redeeming fea-
ture about his unaccountable conduct.
Rev. Hilgard located with his wife and
three children on a farm near BoneSteei
in the fall of 1894 announced himself as
an evangelist, and began holding meet
ings in and near the town. He was mas
ter of style of oratory suited to the
rOuEn cow DuNcHtES VIM
formed the greater part of his audiences
Soon he received invitations TO hold re-
yiyals at other hamlets throughout the
cattle country. His life was supposed to
be exemplary. his gifts to charity were
liberal and his neighbors idolized him
About that time a series of bold rob-
berries commenced in the vicinity Cat
lie were run out of the country and
sold at Eastern markets. horses stolen
haId q a
robbed and isolated farnhouses en-
tered ard ransacked- Those who re-
sisted the perpetra;or of the OutraSes-
all were committed by single man
Invariably came out second best
The robber seldom shot to kill, but
his aim was unerring. and his victim
was always disabled before he had time
to use his weapons. The outlaw always
wore a mask. and for time the crimes
were attributed to different men.
His final capture was due to an au-
dacious attempt TO rustic bunch Of fine
steers on Nickk Mammilrs ranch. four
teen miles north of Bonesteel Hammill
appeared Just as the animals were being
rounded up. and after an exchange OF
shots with the thief. gathered party OF
cowboys and started on his trail.
So hot was the pursuit that Hill
gard. as the thief af.erward proved to
be- was driven TO take refuge in an
abandoned dusout. Here he stood his
assailants of for seven hours. and sur
rendered only after being wounded six
times.
Ordinarily short work would have
been made of such a captive. but the
discovery that II was their dear pas
tor Hiigard. so completely over
powered the punchers that he was
brought into Bonesteel and lodged In
the municipal ca!aboose. In the prison.
er's pockets were watches. rings and
other articles of jewelry. part Of which
have been identified by their former
owners.

The couple then went to New York, then

MonroeviHe, La, Aug. 8-Near Hixon
yesterday after the funeral services Of
John w. Henderson had been held at his
residences, the procession was moving
to the family burying ground two miles
away. In a wagon conveying the corpse
were six relatives of the deceased. A mule
attached to a buggy in the procession
became frightened and ran away This
frightened the mules drawing the wag-
on and coffin. and they became unman-
ageable. The wagon was upset and the
cofan spilled out exposing the corpse to
view. Mrs. Mary VILLAINS sister of the
dead man, was thrown against tree
and her neck broken, death resulting.

GUARDING AGAINST INJECTION
Precautions Taken in LandinH
Troops mt MOntauk Point.

While the troops have been embarking
at Santiago for Montauk Point Surgeon
| General wyman. of the Marine Hospital
Service. has been active at this end. He
| said yesterday:
1--WE shall be prepared when they ar
| rive. A disinfecting barge thoroughly
equipped will soon leave Philadelphia for
Nontauk and await the transports from
Santiago. After the debirkation of the
troops the transports will at once be
disinfected by means of the apparatus
at hand on the barge
This barge has been building and out
fitted for a year. 1t was intended for
the fever station at Dry Tortugas. but
all this has been changed In the "a
the present emergency. The men will
no. be disinfected. but will be at once
taken ashore to what is called the
camp of observation a mile away from
the regular camp.
Asked as to the danger Of the spread
of yellow fever during the voyage, Gen.
Wyman said the we'll men would be
brought first and the others as fast as
they were convalescent. Meanwhile Gen.
Sternberg has given orders to Surgeon
Havard at Santiago to have each trans
port fully equipped with medical help
and supplies. 50 as to prevent any repe-
tition of the COncho ani Seneca incidents
1t is realized. however, that the voyage
will be trying one. but every arrange
ment viii, be made for comfort and every
precautton taken against any bad results
from fever cases which may be brought
ashore. Ten surgeons will be on hand
to meet the transports, well as a
boarding cutter.
The fever situation among the Southern
camps Is not as good as might be wished.
The reports from the last two general
hospitals for the week ending July 20
have been received: the other four have
already been published. The report from
Key West Is 500 sick, / died. 17S vacant
beds. That from Fort Thomas. Ky, is
i3i sick. one vacant bed.
There is not a case of yellow fever
among them said Gen. Wyman. There
were several very suspicious cases at d:f-
ferent points this week. but It has finally
been determined that they are not yell
low fever"
Gen. Wyman would not name the
points referred to. fearing lest II might
stir up trouble among tine people but was
emphatic in his statement that there was
no yellow fever.

FIR. cru~ed by Mice and Mntche.

Hagerstown. Md. Aug. Sire yester-
day afternoon broke out in the two-story
frame building of Luther NJ. Greenawalt.
on Washington Square, Hagerstown, used
as dwelling house and grocery store.
Mr.. Greenawalt was eating dinner when
he discovered flames issuing from a win
dow. A large hole was burned in the
floor and the stock Of goods was badly
damaged by smoke and chemicals thrown
from the chemical engine. Burnt matches
we're found lying on the floor near where
the fire occurred. and this leads to the
belief that 1t was started from matches
gnawed by mice.

Ing . water Supply.
New York. Aug. S.-Troubles beset the
officers charged with the establishment
of the camp at Montauk Point. Gen.
Young planned to have 800 tents erected
by sunset yesterday, but the failure of
200 iaborers, who had been engaged in
neiGhboring towns. to appear made 1t i'm
possible. To make the situation more
difficult, with the wholesale delay in the
arrival of almost everything necessary
to camp is the utter failure as yet to find
water anywhere near the camp. Two 2
inch pipes wero sunk in the sand near
the station yesterday, but the water was
brackish. For three days 100 diggers have
been sinking holes in the hills and the
valleys all about the site Of the camp.
but not a drop Of water has been found.
Gen. Sternberg. when he inspected the
point, reported that all conditions were
favorable to a camp. When the well dig
gers arrived big boulders. which made
digging almost impossible, were found as
deep as twenty feet below the surface,
and shaft after shaft was sunk only 10

Plain TO Rocky Ridge is fairly honey
cOmDed.
At the foot OF the ridge at the north
end of the plain 1t is proposed to sink
lO-inch pipe which. II water is found IN
sufficient quantities. will supply 2So.00o
gallons of water a day. enough for the
cavalry camp and for half the infantry
us well. But only water gravel has been
found yet. The hole is already twenty
four feet, and many large powders have
been removed by means of ropes. Pipes
have been placed at intervals all over the
plain for seventy-two small pumps which
will be sunk. If possible. to give each
infantry company pump of It's own in
its camp. The men in charge of the dig
ging have to admit that the prospects for
water are poor. Extra men were put to
work this morning. bu- no success has
yet been met with. Gen. Young had to
report nothing but failures. as far as the
water Is concerned. and nearly every dis
patch from Washington ends with rush
the -e.er work.
1t is stated that despite the delay shell
ter and food will be provided for the first
detachment of troops. which is expected
TO arrive today. The men and horses
will drink water from Great Pond, which
is slightly favored with salt.
