Geo. Eells, was blown from it's moor

ECHOES OF THE WAR.

In Wilkes-Ba window is a car
fridge case taken from the Spanish
| cruiser Oquendo after the destruction
in July. The case was exploded, as Is
shown by the shattered end. 1t was
| found near one of the guns on the
Oquendo by fireman Thomas Bell of
the United States torpedo boat Dupont
and presented to Stanley w. Bogart,
Of Wilkes-Barre.
Rev. w. De F. Johnson. chaplain of
the Ninth regiment, returned to
Wilkes Barre from Chickamauga hav-
| ing rendered his resignation as chaplain
| of the regiment to take effect August
| 20. He is anxious to resume his duties
as pastor of Calvary Episcopal church
but has suffered so much from sick
| ness, and his arduous work that it will
be necessary for him to take a rest
for several weeks to recuperate SAYS
the Wilkes-B Barre Times.
Regarding the health of the Ninth
regiment Chaplain johnson stated that
he hopes for an Improvement from now
on. The most serious cases,have either
recovered or have died, and since the
camp has been moved he thinks the
outbreak of typhoid will be checked.
An important change has been made
In the abandoning Of regimental fu-
nerals said Mr.. Johnson. This was
done after careful discussion and it
was deemed best to take the step. as
the regimental obsequies proved unu-
sually sad, and also very depressing
upon the men, especially the sick The
change has already developed much
good. When a member dies now, and
If the body is not claimed by the rela-
tives or friends, it is taken to Chicka-
mauga and given burial there in the
National cemetery.
Rev. Mr.. Johnson brought with him
about $1,000 sent by the boys to their
dependent ones at home, the result of
their late pay This money will be
turned over to the board of trade for
distribution according to the plan pur-
sued when the former amounts were re-
ceived.
The eM-chaplain was accompanied
nome by Mrs. Johnson, who has been
at Chickamauga several weeks.
VOICES.
Oh, the sun shines bright on the roadway
white
And burns on the roses red
And blue is the sky where marching by,
Are men with martial tread,
And redbird sings in the apple tree,
And a white dove hovers near,
And bluebird whistles a note to me
As the soldiers disappear
And where" says blue, "are they going
to,
And what are they going for?'
And crow flies by with the hollow cry,
OF War! War! War;"
Oh, the night falls brown on field and
town
That throb with the summer heat
AS, lifting my latch, l bend TO catch
The tramp cf returning feet
| And the redbird sleeps, and the dove of
white,
And the bluebird's voice is still,
While out of the shadows comes tonight
The song of the whip-po-will.
oh, feet that rass N the dust and grass,
My vigil shall never cease.
Though cricket sings with its grating
wings
OF "Peace Peace! Peace!"

GRAHAM AT MIDDLEToWN.
Headquarters of Second Army Corps
Now on Pennsylvania Soil.

By Associated Press.
Harrisburg, Aug. 17.-Major General
Graham has taken charge of the new
military camp near Middletown and
will recommend that it be named in
honor of General George G. Meade.
General Graham arrived in camp this
morning from Falls Church with his
staff, and is much pleased with it's To-
cation.
The Third battalion of the Sixteenth
regiment started from Newport News
this afternoon for Camp Meade and
will arrive during the night. The rail-
road officials have been advised to pre-
pare for a heavy movement of troops
and it is expected that 10000 men will
be encamped in the vicinity of Middle
town within the next thirty days. The
only other arrivals today were Colonel
c. A. Woodruff, commissary general of
the new camp; the Second Signal corps
and the Second division hospital corps.
Adjutant General Stewart visited the
camp this evening and expressed much
pleasure at the arrangements which
are being made for the care and COM

missed. Miss Alingham. the aunt,
went out in search of the child, and fol-
lowed his track for nearly two miles.
Then it was lost, and she was COM
PEELED to return home. 1t was now
dark, and the weather cold.
A search-party of men with lanterns
was at once organized. They followed
the tracks some distance. Then the
tracks left the trail, the Fly Creek
ranch over the Matoles for some dis
tance. Then the tracks of the trail,
wandering in the woods in every di-
rection, at one time returning to with
in mile of the home ranch, and then
wandering off again.
Until two o'clock in the morning this
was kept up, and then the track was
lost so that no one could find it by aid
of the lanterns. 1t was now so cold
that the searchers had to build a fire,
and remain by it until daybreak. They
had lost all hope OF finding the child
alive. The exposure. they felt sure,
must have ended his life.
With daylight they resumed their
melancholy search, and after a time
the trail of the boy and the dog was
again found. They followed 1t now
very carefully, and ii was not lost
again.
At eight o'clock in the morning the
men saw the dog at little distance
ahead, and soon they caught sight of a
child's motionless and 2rostratA form
curled up beside it. They hardly dared
approach, but presently they did so.
and were overjoyed to find that the
child was little Rex, and that he was
not dead, but was sleeping profoundly,
well enveloped in the dogs warm fur.
The little boy must have walked
twelve or fifteen miles, and was thor
oughly exhausted. But for the dog he
must have perished in the cold.
Two facts are remarkable about the
dogs conduct: He stuck by the child
and did not start for home. as most
dogs would have done, when the child
in his wanderings approached nearest
to it, and he had intelligence enough to
cuddle close to the boy to keep him
warm, and not circle about, as many
dogs, even of the most devoted kind.
would have done.
Rex was taken home, and with rest
and care recovered from his exposure
and exhaustion.
