Good People of cresco!

That's right! Encourage home man
ufacturers by buying from outside
parties. Don't come to the Cresco

on better brick for less money than
you can from those not in the business.
Take all the pains to drive out all
who have invested their money in the
interest OF your town, then in short
time you will see prosperous city.

There can be little doubt but Congress
will make an investigation into the man
agelnent Of the army when it meets in
December. Whether the stories that are
in circulation about the incompetency,
and in some cases the brutality, of the
men whose business it was to look out
for the soldiers, are true or false, must be
found out, and If true punishment
must be inflicted upon the delinQ uents,
We have no doubt that there is much ex-
aggeration in many of the stories that are
told, and that brief cross examination
of the persons who are telling them
would show that in a great many cases
they are simply repeating what they have
heard, and have no personal knowledge
of the matter. Furthermore, we have
little doubt that the cry of unfit food has
frequently ema1ated from stomachs
which had become affected by malarial
poison to such degree that they rebelled
against all food, and that almost any
Kind would have met with quite as much
condemnation as that furnished. More

sickness was due to the soldiers own
carelessness in eating and drinking and
exposing himself. But after making all
due allowance for exaggeration and
Measurements, there remain certain
things so we'll authenticated that they
need explanation. The over.crowoing OF
the transports and the lack of provisions
upon them have been admitted. So pract
ically have deficiencies in the hospital
service. The responsibility for these
things is somewhere; and public feeling
has been so wrought up over them that
it. will not be satisfied with anything
short of thorough probing of the
charges.

SONG OF THE KATYDlD.
If Contains Much More Than the Single
Statement Iterated About Katy.

"The common names by which insects
are known" remarked man who knows
something about orchard life, "are SO
often misleading and out of keeping with
the characteristics and habits of the in
sects that the naturalist feels sometimes
like exclaiming that all popular opinions
are falIaeies. There is the katydid, for
instance The katydid was named after
his song, presumably; but, as matter OF
fact, the song of katydid has no more
resem blance to the sound of the words
than it has to the number of yl'ables in
the statement which the iEs, ct is sup
posed to iterate SO determinetlJ

the katydid does not say katy did at

It remains to be seen what eff ect the
confession of Col. Henry that he forged
one of the discriminating letters in the
Dreyfus case will have upon the French
public OF course the disclosure ought
TO secure to Dreyfus new trial at least,
if not an immediate and final discharge.
But unfortunately the gravamen of his
offence in the eye of the masses has
always appeared to be that he WAS Jew,
rather than that he had betrayed army
secrets; and Col. Henry's confession has
no tendency of course to relieve him of
that charge. AS to French courts, the
recent trial of lola showed that they
pander to the crowd and are much more
anxious to please that than to do what is
Just; and if it is the pleasure of the rab.

from Pretty soon he increases the vol
ume of sound and adds still another syi-
liable. 1t was at this time, with the ac-
cent on the third and final note, that the
original and superficial observer named
the insect the katydid. But the song
does not end here by any means. More
syllables or notes are added, the volume
OF sound increasing all the time, un1ii

number is not always reached, however
The katydid's solo is love song. The
song stops when it has served Its purpose
OF attracting q mate. One may always
tell the approach of the shy and blushing
she-katy by the agitation in the note OF
the wooing male. His orchestra stops
1t breaks up into short. nervous, sJaccato
notes. He no longer plays katy did, or
whatever movement in the upward scale
he was engaged upon. He stops sudden

to the instincts of her sex and for the
proper period remains coy, the gentleman
will perhaps pursue her. Perhaps, on
the other hand, he will sulk. That usu-
ally has the effect of bringing about
definite understanding. 1t may be that
she rejects him absolutely, and, merely
to prove that he does not care straw, he
will reflect upon the other pebbles and
once more take up his chant.
"The;people living in the country have
great DEAL of faith in the katydid as a
prophet He begins his song, they say,
exactly six weeks before the first frost.
This is another popular opinion gone
broke. The katydid is an Irish prophet
he prophesies backward. His song begins
after the last frost
"The song of the katydid is, properly
speaking, not a song at all. 1t Is an in
strumenta1 solo. His musical apparatus
is at the base of his wings. and 1t is as
curiously constructed as some of those
mysterious instruments of Wagnerian

Gen. II. V. Boynton's report upon
Camp Thomas is very different certainly
from that of Inspector General Parker
G n. Parker condemned the park as a
camping ground, alleging especially de-
fectiye water supply. Gen. Boynton on
the contrary, seems to have found moth
ing to complain of except what had been
aroduced by the negligence of the officers
and soldiers themselves. 1t has been fire.
ouently charged that the hospital service
at Camp Thomas was entirely made
ouate, that there were not enough attend
ants to take care of the sick, and that
medical supplies were frequently de-
ticient Gen. Boynton finds that at the
present time the hospitals are all that
could be desired, and he Is inclined to
claim that the complaints In
regard to them in the past
have had little or no foundation. In
short, the. General seems to hold as to al
mostl all the complaints that have
marated from this camping ground that
they have had their origin in malice or
misunderstanding. Because sick soldiers
were refused food that would have been
huriful to them the cry was raised that
they were being starved to death. says
Gen. Boynton, and men who wanted to
get away InaIioiously represented that
the camp was pest hole in order to
create public sympathy. While we have
no doubt there has bean much exaggera-
ton about the condition of Camp Thorn
as, it is difficult to believe that the stories
have all been made out of whole cloth,
as g en-. Boynton's report would seem to
imply.

The fell;w who parades himself as the
special friend of the soldier, like the fell
low who performs as the special friend OF
the laboring man, will generally appear
upon examination to be dema'
gogue who is in pursuit of some selfish
end, and is simply trying to use the
soldier to enable him to achieve it. A
gentleman named Kay, we might
sayS incidentally, is now parading him
self as the soldiers particular friend.
