CHAMPION CANNONEERS.
Handling Field Artillery Just as in
Action.

Unless they have lived adjacent to some
Regular Army post, or belonged to the
gallant militia. which occasionally goes
into encampment, most folks know no
more about how big guns are handled in
war than they do about who will be the
next Prime Minister of China. Knowing
such to be the case, and believing that
practical enlightenment on the subject
would be of great interest, Col. Cody sue
cessfully exercised his influence with
Uncle Sam to obtain from him the tenn
porary loan of a detachment of his boys
in blue from Capt. Thorpe's command,
Fifth L. S. Artillery, who will appear
here on May 8 and 10 in the wild
Vests great arena. The cannon used
belong to Col. Cody and Mr.. Nate SAILS

been captured by the Union forces in the
civil war, one of them on the desperately
contested field of Gettysburg. Each gun
is drawn by Il team of six powerful
horses and manned as indicated The way
they thunder along the arena, bounding
and sWaying around the corners on two
wheels with their riders and drivers

sight for the fire department to applaud.
Brought to the front at full gallop. they
are wheeled, placed, loaded and fired with
such precision as only the most expert
veterans could achieve. The climax feat
involves the driving of the guns at speed
between two rows of stakes. so set in the
ground that there is barely two inches
of space between the stakes and the axle
hubs. The trick is To rush through with
out Il single stake being displaced by eth

accomplished almost every time. 1t is

United States troop on Cuban soil is also
n strong probability as an event of war.
The question of climate and it's influence
upon our soldiers is a serious one. Even
the Spanish soldiers sucCumbed very
rapidly to the unhealthy climate of Cuba.
Spanish soldier was already accustom-
ed to a southern climate, and was there
FORE somewhat acclimated to Cuba. But
the sultry humidity, the sweltering
miasm and braclIsh water of Cuba laid
low the Spanish soldier much faster than
did the bullets of the insurgents If this
were true of the Spanish soldier what will
become of the United States soldier in the
event of any extended warfare with the
Spaniards on Cuban territory? No one
doubts the bravery of Uncle Sans troops
in facing Spanish bullets, but to face
peStilence invisible, unseen, deadly, that
turks in every bog, and waited on every
breeze, requires a courage and self
sacrifice that borders on audacity. The
mucous membranes of the stomach and
bowels are first attacked by this deadly
pestilence. Debilitating nausea, eX-
hausting diarrhea devitalizing dysentery,
follow each other in rapid succession,
with fatality almost equal to the Black
Plague. The disease is essentially cli-
matte catarrhal disease in a virulent
form. 1t is a fatal variety of acute en-
demic catarrh. 1t is an enemy that no
fertilization or armor can protect from.
Our only hope is that some American
antidote or prophylactic medicine can be
furnished the soldier to shield him from
this most deadly of all enemies-Cuban
fever. 1t is claimed that we have such
a remedy already tested in such cases.
1t is known in the trade as Pe-ru-na.
The remedy was devised by the emf
nent American physician, DR.. Hartman,
as an efficient tonic and invigorator of
the mucous membranes. 1t has been
found that ii is not only an
efficient remedy for all catarrhal
diseases of the mucous membranes, for
which it is chiefly used, but it is also a
preventive for all diseases acquired by
contagion through the mucous MEM
branes. If all is true of this remedy
that is claimed for it by good medical
authority, it ought to constitute an ideal

The whole country was shocked
Wednesday at the news OF the sad
suicide OF Mrs. Eli Hansen, of Oak
field township. Mr.. Hansen had
been working in the field during the
forenoon and when he came home at
noon, put his team away and went to
the house. He found no dinner pre-
pared and seemingly no one about the
house. He next went into the bed
room and there found the lifeless
body Of his wife suspended from Il
rope that was fastened to the ceiling.
Coroner Koob, Of Brayton, was call
ed and the body was cut down. The
coroner's jury found that Mrs. Eli
Hansen, had, in demented moment
taken her own life. The funeral
occurred Wednesday afternoon al
? O'Clock, Rev. GraveDgaard ofliciat-
ing; interment in the Oak Hill ceme-
terry. The unfortunate lady was
born in Denmark, was about 40 years
old and leaves a husband and three
children. She had always appeared
perfectly rational on all subjects and
the motive for her sad act remains
unknown. Mr.. Hansen and the
motherless little ones have the deep
est sympathy Of all in their bereave-
ment.
