"Tom Parish and Col. Wilson

Beens to draw o."-Republican.
The above from the billbynum
organ is literally true; they will
make an excellent pair, as both
have been tried In official position
in this territory, and neither were
found wanting. They are old fash
ioned IN something's. Especially is
this true with public funds. When
Wilson was attorney general and
7. e. Parish treasurer, no Yavapai
bonds or other il egal claims were
funded. None Of the peoples mon
ey was paid out in interest on the
Yavapai bonds; The Wolfley claim,
rejected by the Legislature and the
courts, was not paid.
We must confess we are not pro
gressive to the point Of attempting
to take the money of the people
without warrant of law. Their
followers are legion. Colonel Viii,

The following provisions of tn,
law governing the cutting Of tim bel
on public lands is worthy of pur,
sual:
"Seventh-No person will be
permitted to fell or remove any
growing trees of any kind whatso-
ever less than eight inches in diam,
eter. This will not be regarded as
applicable to black or lodge pole
pine growing IN separate lunches
upon mineral land.
Eighth-Persons telling or ro

lands of the United States must
utilize all Of each tree cut that can
be profitably used, and must cut
and remove the top and brush or
dispose Of the same in such man.
ner as to prevent the spread of
forest fires"
The penalty for such violation is
in a sum not exceeding $500, to
which may be added Imprisonment
for and not exceeding sixty days.
Where'er you go, whate'er you
do tits always best to keep this rule
in view; Don't bite off moro than
you can chew, and though your
friends may but few, stick to them
always just like glue, as long as
they will stick to you. To every

SOME OF THE CONDITIONS,

From Sergeant Mason's article
in the Lincoln Journal the follow
ing extracts are taken:
Concerning the division hospitals
of Camp Thomas it is lMPOSSl'
BILE TO DO THEM JUSTICE.
Were a man endowed with super
human powers of description he
would be UNABLE TO POR,
TRAY THE SUFFERINGS of the
boys who went there. UnGer
these circumstances 1T is easily un-
derstood why men lay around their
tents i'll, lodging surgeons to
AVOID BEING SENT TO SUCH
HOLES.
The division hospitals of Camp
Thomas were planned to hold the
sick men of nine regiments over
10000 In all. The capacaclty of
tho first division hospital was little
over three hundred, and yet there
were four hundred men in it the
greater part of the time. Cots
were placed so closely together in
the wards that it was almost i'm
possible to pass between them
THE WANTS OF THE SICK
WERE RARELY SUPPLIED
Had all the nurses been trained
competent workers they could not
have attended the sick men as was
necessary, because the force was
not large enough. AS 1t was ty'
phoid fever patients rarely ever
received more than one bath a day,
and they were in luck to get that.
The SANITARY CONDITION OF
THE HOSPITAL WAS MlSER-
ABLE and these nurses aoded to il
by permitting nuisanceS to collect
that should have been disposed of
Immediately. Taking it all in all
it is certain that the poor unfortu-
nate who spent week in the di-
vision hospitals of Chickamauga
WILL REMEMBER 1T AS LONG
AS HE LIVES as one of the most
trying he over passed through.
l sat in the Office of q certain
hospital IN Camp Thomas one night
and saw an officer enter in search
of one of his men. The major in
charge told the steward to see
what ward the man was in. The
steward was unable to locate him
from the record and so informed
his superior, who in turn told the
searching officer that no such man
was in the hospital. 81 know
a--sight better, because brought
the man here myself last night, "
was the heated response. The
officer went with the major in
search of bis man and found him in
a ward after some little delay.
One of the most pathetic Incl,
dents that happened in Camp
Thomas during our stay there was
the death of soldier in one of the
hospitals. The officers in charge
were unable to find out his name,
the company or regiment from
which he came, and today his re-
mains lie in the beautiful national
cemetery in an unknown's grave.

WAR.

Administration newspapers can
not accuse Senator Mason, of Hi.
nols, of making charges against
the War Department for political
effect for he has been one of the
Administrations warmest support
ers. Yet he says:
shameful, disgraceful, Internal,
damnable-there is no word or
term too strong to use. Some one
has blundered. Yes, it is well to
say that now, when it is too late.
But some one is responsible for al
lowing anyone to hold a position
where his laundering would hurt.
Will the apology Of the gov ern
ment, some one has blundered,'
give us back our dead? Will it
cause us to forget the sufferings of
our fever-otriken boys? Will it fill
the aching void of our hearts? Is
it balm sufficient to heal the torn

out the land? Will it make US for

bloody sweat of our camp? Some
one has blundered! What an ex-
cuSe for a government to make
through the Secretary Of War.
This is the cline of the century,
the tragedy Of the nation. Our
soldiers have not poured cut their
hearts blood on the alter Of their
country, but have been crucified by
laundering and plundering offici-
aldom. Our heads are bowed in
deepest woe; we must bow them
lower with every shame. All the
world acclaimed one hundred days
war. Every tongue was afame
with the glory of America, her
valiant army, her superb navy.
Today the world is striken dumb

Sent to Santiago-Sick Coming Home.
Washington, July 15.-Reports that
have reached the war department show
that there has been some mortality
among the yellow fever cases with Shaf-
ter's army. This, however, has been
slight, as it is said that up to the pres
ent time but five cases have resulted
fatally. II any report of additional
cases was received yesterday the Off
Gals declined to make it public Mean
while Surgeon General Sternberg ia
making arrangements to supplement
the working force Of 'immunes," physi-
clans and nurses at Santiago. He an
nounced yesterday that on Monday a
vessel would leave New York carrying
an additional number of this class Of
workers and a large consignment of hos
pital supplies.
The policy of isolating the sick from
the well at Santiago will be put in
practical operation, and the officials
hope that by this course the spread of
the disease will be retarded and kept
within the limits in which it has gained
a foothold. The sick and wounded
which will arrive at New York in a few
days on the transport Seneca will be
distributed between New York and
Brooklyn hospitals pending their recov-
cry. One hundred are 70 be sent TO the
Marine hospital at New York and the
remainder to various places in Brook
lyn. The ambulance Solace operated
by the navy is hourly expected at Fort
ress Monroe with forty-four sick and
wounded from Skaters army.

General Toral formally surrendered

understanding that his troops shall be

appoint commissioners to draw I'D the

very gratifying. and General Shafter
and the officers and men of his command
are entitled to great credit for their
fortitude in overcoming the almost in
surmountable obstacles which they en-
countered."
A press dispatch dated before Santi-
ago July IS gives an account Of a meet
ing between Generals Shafter and Miles
and General Toral in which the United
States officers urged Toral to surrender.
The situation was placed frankly before

Kaiser's Government Is Hewing Close to

the Neutrality Line.
Berlin, July 15.-The Cologne Zeitune
tenounces the story of the German war
ship Irene Interfering at SBbig bay. Isl
and of Luzon. Philippines as fabri-
cation. The Lokalanzeiger says the
Americans are unreasenably excited
about the Irene incident. Even if it
occurred, as Admiral Dewey says. the
Irene did not interfere. but retired upon
the arrival of the Americans. There
fore every courtesy was shown that the
Americans demand of a neutral coun-
try.
But if the Irene did hinder Aguin-
aldo's landing ii is no business of Dew
ey'S. If the American admiral sees fit
to make common cause with the insur-
gent chiefs il is none of our affair.
Germany still preserves her neutrality
towards Spain, and does not intend to
recognize Aguinaldo and lris horde as
helligerents. The matter is so plain
that We do not believe any diplomatic
step will be taken. and do not doubt for
moment that the American officials
will admit the correctness of the Ger
man proceedings" The foregoing is be-
leved to be inspired.
The Tageblatt's Madrid correspondent
says Sagasta has declared that he is
now convinced that the Americans
would be defeated by the land forces in
Cuba. and that the Americans knew
this themselves; but since Spain no
longer has fleet the Americans could
StarVe the island without cubiaotin,

bullets. Hence he has resolved to bring

Killing Process.
Siboney. July 1S. via Kingston, ia.
maica, July 15-The division hospitals
here today present a very different ap-
pearance from that which they pre-
sented a week ago. All the wounded
have been removed to the hospital
ships, most of which are on the way
north, and not a single one Of the
wounded remains here. The surgical
department now is only busy with the
wounds of prisoners who, once dressed
have been taken back to a separate
camp. All the buildings and huts be.
fore occupied by natives where it was
possible that the germs of disease
fingered have been burned to the
ground. The debris has been removed
fresh. clean tents have been spread
and bitches have been dug around each
to carry away the rain. Today the las,
batch Of Cubans was sent to separate
camp ten miles distant on a hill. None
of their baggage or belongings has beer
left. The pier has been extended be-
