REGARDING COMPLAINTS.
the War Department About DestIt0tIOn
and Neglect in Camps.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Gen. Corbin,
adjutant general of the army, says nc
complaint has reached the war depart
ment from any major general, briga-
der general, colonel or men of the
army regarding want or restitution
or lack of supplies other than the reg
ular acquisitions for troops which
come in the ordinary routine way.
Gen. Corbin declines to be
interviewed on the subject of
the many stories ahoat regarding
restitution and management of the
war, saying that the facts will come
out in due time and the people will see
for themselves what was done. The
whole department is greatly stirred
over the many newspaper accounts of
what has been going on, but apparent
ly each head of bureau believes
that an investigation of the
subject will vindicate him and his de,
partment. The officersin Washington
say that the accounts of suffering have
been exaggerated, but If there has
been suffering further than the Incl
dents of war naturally would bring
about, the fault has not been with the
officers in the department

THE CAPTAINS SPEECH.
1t Was Interestingly Brief and De-
cldedly TO the Point, But Unsat-
isfactOry to the Orator.

One of the volunteer companies recently
at camp Alger possesses beautiful new
flag, which was made and presented by a
number OF patriotic women in the Pennsyl.
yania town from which the company comes.
1t was presented just before the company
marched away-or steamed away, to be ac-
curate-and the presentation was the occa.
sion OF much ceremony. The company was
drawn up IN long line-"company front, -

which contained great deal of aowery Ian.

and received the banner.

his color forsook him. He had forgotten the
best of his speech. One trembling hand
sought the pocket of his blouse. The manu-.
script was gone.
Ladies', he began again, desperately,
with a gulping kind of gasp, ladies, we

And after all, | dare say the impromptu
was quite as effective as the address he
had prepared, but the captain doesn't like
to talk about Washington Post.

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularityis matter of Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
In every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:--I feel like q
new person since following your adj
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public. know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain-
full menstruation and leucorrhea.
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. / now wish to say that I never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me Of leucorrhea. I hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

jim KELso's DOG.
An Efficient Equine City Marshal OF Forty
Years Ago Whose Memory Il
Revereh.

A dog has mixed up in western poll
tics and been elected to an important
county office. He is huge Newfound-
land, known as Bob Kelso, and his OPP
ponent was one Clinton Teege. The
office he held was city marshal of Au-
rora, Ind.
1t is over 40 years ago that pretty
puppy was taken in by Jim Kelso,
who, in the sos, was we'll known all
over southern Indiana. He named the
dog Bob and trained him to point
where he seemed only to lack speech
to make him human.
One of his feats was to catch a man,
throw him down and hold him until told
to let him go. He would not injure or
in the least hurt the man, but he could
handle the strongest. Through this
one bit of training, together with his
marvellous intelligence, is due the
honors which were later heaped upon
him.
His reputation became so great that
in the spring of 1859 Bob Kelso's name
appeared upon the ballots as candidate
for city marshal, and he defeated his
opponent Teege, by majority of 81
votes.
Several prominent and wealthy resi-
dents of the town Immediately took
steps to see that Bob was properly in
vested in his Office. An official bond
in legal form was prepared in the sum
of $4,000, signed by numerous citizens
and Endorsed by the election board.
Bob appeared before the president of
the council.and asked that the oath be
administered.
Starks, the president, however, re-
fused to administer the oath, and the
case was finally carried to the SUI
preme court, where it was decided
that dumb brute could not hold office
OHowever, feeling ran so high that
Starks was finally forced to leave
town.
Aurora is now preparing to perpet-
uate in stone the memory of this noble
animal.
His sculptured form, mounted on a
pedestal, will serve, through future
years, to remind the unborn genera
tions of residents and visitors that
Aurora is the only corporation in the
nation that ever duly elected dog to
an authorized, legal Office, the dumb
animal defeating human at the polls.

JIG herdlu from washington says
Trouble is brewing over the Samoan islands,
which, under the treaty OF 1890, are governed
under joint protectorAte by the United States
Germany and Great Britain. Germany had
marked the islands for her own before the
treaty was negotiated. but her scheme for alb
sorbing them was blocked chiefly by the
United States, which, by the treaty OF 1873, had
acquired the right to establish naval station
at Pago-Pago harbor, and had virtually estab-
lished protectorate over the islands Under
the tripartite arrangement Germany has been
o disturbing factor and has endeavored to pro-
cure advantages superior to those OF the United
States and Great Britain. Mr.. Cleveland favored
withdrawing from the joint protectorate, but
President Mckinley is determined to retain all
rights in Samoa guaranteed to this country by
the treaty. He is now taking steps to improve
and fortify Pago-Pago harbor and dispatches
from Europe show that Germany does not like
this action
