Orders TO leave for Huron, whore the
state troops are to rendezvous, are
expected at any time, and the boys are
awaiting the same with a degree OF
anxiety that indicates the deep interest
they feel in the cause in which they are
enlisted. Much time is devoted TO drill
ing, and the company is attaining a de-
gree Of proficiency in this direction that
reflects high credit upon Capt. Denny
and the members of his company as
well. The CHRONICLE would suggest
the propriety of making some public
demonstration in the way of an appro'
pirate expression of good will toward

due from our citizens nut unquestion
ably deserved by the loyal and patriotic

New Law ONCE and Mining Exchange

Next week +. &. Johnson will open
his Offices now being fitted up IN the
ground floor Of the Vienna Hotel corner
IN this 'ity. Mr.. Johnson was for sew
eral years a practicing Attorney at Law
in Chicago lie will take up general
law practice in this state, and make a
speciality of mining law and c~onveyan-
ctng.
Mr.. Johnson is interested in mining
property Of his own which he is devel-
oping and is familiar with the boundless
esource Of the southern Hills in rich
minerals. lie fully realizes that the
cooperation Of capital is all that is re
quired to develop a great many pros
poets in the southern Hills into valuable
create a demand for the erection Of
smelters and reduction plants, and build
up the industry of the whole southern
Hills. To this end Mr.. Johnson pro-
poses to make a specially Of mining
brokerage and list for sale and develop
ment all ofthe good mines and prospects
in the southern Hills, with samples and
specimens Of ore from each, suitably
displayed and labeled, and will then
offer to mining investors and capitalists
in the east better inducements thar can
be found in any other mining section,
in the way of desirable properties at
reasonable terms AID prices. Mr..
Johnson asks the hearty co operation Of
the mine and prospect owners by
bringing in specimens and samples of
their ores and listing with him. No
charge will be made unless the proper.
ties are sold.
Mr.. Johnson is fully equipped for
assaying, being a graduate Of that de-
partment In the Armour Institute at
Chicago, and will make personal exami
nations Of all properties. He will also
have his agent at the Mines and Mining
Building at the Omaha Exposition to
show the ores to mining investors and
direct them to the southern Hills.
The desirable mines and prospects are
here, and with liberal inducements in
the way of terms and prices. which can
be given only by tire owners themselves,
and an active mining exchange through
which they can be brought to the atten-
tion Of capitalists. as is done in all other
mining c%enters, there is no reason why
the southern Hills should not equal, and
soon surpass the northern Hills in the
number of producing mines. Let every
body assist in making this new enter
prise a great success for the southern
Hills.

forgery, succeeded in making his escape
from the Lawrence county jail in Dead

supplied with a pair of old shears by
some one on the outside, by which
means he removed enough bricks from
the south wall of the Jail to admit Of his
escape through the aperture made. His
escape was unknown TO the officers
until the next day, giving him on
siderable time to make good his escape,
but it is believed he will be captured in

The War Ia On.

Bloodless as it may be, it is neverthe-
less a fact that the war is, to all intents
and purposes, on. Up to the hour Of
going TO press there are no reliable dis
patches indicating the loss OF a nan or
either side, but it is, Mt this writing,
~momentarily expected that the news Of
the meeting of the opposing laval fleets
and a consequent sa%nsuinary conflict
will be flashed over the wires. Thus
far the war has been notably a one
sided affair, Uncle Sam having decid-
eddy the best Of it. In the capture Of
the enemies vessels, he has been sue
cessful to a marked degree, having taken
in no less than thirteen, having a value
including their cargoes, Of more than q
million dollars, while the enemy has
but one. a small coaling vessel, to her
credit.
The report of the capture Of Matanzas,

Thursday in the brief space Of eighteen
minutes, after firing SO shots is not con
firmed as We 90 TO press. The lombard
ment of Manila, the capital Of the
PHILIPPINE Islands. by our Asiatic feet
may have sventuated before this paper
meets the eye Of the reader, and other
important military movements in Cuban
waters are hourly expected. Every
thing connected with the war situation
looks decidedly favorable from an
American standpoint. We have as
surance of neutrality on the paa Of all
Of the leading nations, unity and conf
dence at home and ample facilities and
means to prosecute the war to a success
full termination.
II may now be conceded, that it is but
a question of time, and not a long time
either, when The Spanish. Cuban war,
for the suppression Of which we are
now at war with Spain, will be ended
and Cuba be free.
