troops can best be sent to Manila on this expedition. It is generally understood that among those that are to go are six troops of the Fourth United States Cav airy. the independent troop of Nevada cavalry, and two batteries of the Sixth United States Artillery, which recently arrived from the East and are at Camp Miller. The commanders of these cavalry and artillery battalions have been in- structed to have their men in readiness for the next, expedition and are expecting a formal order any day.

 knowledged ability, will probably command the troops of the fourth ex- petition to the Philippines. No off, cial order assigning General Miller to the command has been promulgated, but a decision to that effect has been reached and may be announced in day or two.
 Definite intelligence was received at the Presidio yesterday that six troops of the Fourth United States Cavalry would be ordered to join the expedi- ton. The troopers will go whether or not a ship can be secured to take the horses. Cavalry soldiers have already taken a conspicuous part in the fight ing of the present war. The list of casualties wired from Santiago con- tains proof that the dismounted troopers of General Shafter's army sus- tained heavy losses. The hardest fight ing Is generally done by the regiments suffering the greatest losses in battle, and when official reports are in it will be found that the organizations which are mentioned in such glowing terms by the press correspondents have not sustained losses in battle equal to those endured by the regiments which had no newspaper correspondents with them to record their achievements on the field.
 The steamers Peru and City of Pu- ebla will be dispatched from this port next Monday for Manila. The two ships will accommodate 2000 troops and it was settled yesterday that regulars would constitute the major part of the expedition.
 Orders issued from State headquar- ters yesterday announce that Colonel Park Henshaw, having been appointed colonel of the Eighth California United States Volunteer Infantry, is relieved from duty as inspector general of rifle practice to enable him to accept his commission. and that Lieutenant Col onel John F. Burgin, A. D. c. on the staff of Governor Budd, commander-in- chief, is appointed colonel and inspec- tor general of rifle practice. The ap- pointment of Francis Edwin Beck as lieutenant colonel and de-de-camp on the staff of the commander-in-ch chief, is announced in the orders. Colonel Beck is an accountant in the Anglo-Califor- nian Bank of this City.

ADVERTISEMENTS. SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia, Pa., is remarkable statement of re- lief from utter Encouragement. She says:
 never can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has done for me.
 Some years ago Ihad womb trouble and doctored for long time, not sec ing any improvement. At times I would feel we'll enough, and other times was miserable So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. l was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hvs- teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone.
 Indeed, thought would lose my mind. No one knows what endured.
 | continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in paper a. testimonial of lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound. I determined to try it. and felt better after the first dose.
 
 continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, 'Thank God for such a medi- cine"
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all sufferinp women to write to her at Lynn, Mass. for advice. All such letters are seen and answered by women only.

wHEAr's BIG DECLINE.
Last Week Showed . Large Falling
OF in Price.

The past week has been one show
ing steady decline in wheat Of a cent
or two each day eliminating on Sat-
urday in break Of 10 to - cents a
bushel in Kansas City and an utterly
demoralized market-all the large
buyers out Of the market and imPos-
sible to sell all the wheat offered even
at the decline. On May 10, No, 2
hard wheat sold in Kansas City at
$3.50; on Saturday the same wheat
sold at sl.lO, a total decline OF 20
cents from the top. While wheat was
selling at from sl.l5 to $3.50 and our
local dealers and milers were paying
from $l.OO TO Sl.l5 for ordinary No.
5 wheat, it is 8 matter Of satisfaction
to know that our farmers generally
who had wheat were inclined to take
a good thing when they had the
chance and sold freely so that at this
time there is probably less wheat in
the farmers hands than at any time
for five years.
The decline was caused by a let-up
in foreign demand, anxiety on part OF
holders to dispose Of holdings and the
fine prospects for new wheat, condi-
lions being favorable for a good crop
in nearly all Of our winter wheat
States. The harvest is already here,
the first car OF new wheat being re.
ceived in St. Louis from Texas. The
estimates on Kansas crop runs from
10000, 900 to 100000 bushels. The
highest ever known before was 74,-
100000, in 1892, but the price will be
far above the figure then and Kansas
will get more for its wheat crop than
ever in its history. Farmers all over
the State are afraid Of lack OF help
for harvest and big wages will be
paid everywhere.

SENTENCED TO BE SHOT.
Private Lindsey w. Holt, Colored, Will
be Executed.

Huntsville, November 2S.-(Special)-T
first cavalry brigade courtmartial today
for the first time since the war with Spain
began, imposed the first death sentence
upon a soldier, Private Lindsey w. Holt,
Troop F. Tenth cavalry, was sentenced to-
death for the murder of Private Twisby of
the same regiment.
The crime was committed one Sunday
morning at Montauk Point shortly after the
regiment returned from Cuba. The evil
dence brought out in the trial showed that
Holt borrowed quarter from Twisby be-
fore the battle of Santiago and Twisby
claimed to have given him IS gold piece
by mistake. The two men did not meet
again until they reached Montauk. and the
killing was the result. The courtmartial
directs that Holt shall be shot by the pro-
vost guard at such time and place as may
be designated hereafter by the commanding
general of the cavalry division.
Execution of the sentence Will be sus-
pended to await the. approval of President
Mckinley.

THE LYCEUM.
The Next Entertainment by H. Spill
man Riggs, Humorist.

The next Lyceum course number will be
by Mr.. H. Spillman Riggs at Seals hall,
Thursday night, December 1. at S:15 p m
sharp Mr.. Riggs will give the most varied
entertainment of the entire course, as he Is
a gentleman of versatile parts, being a
humorist, impersonator, poet and a solo
whistler and singer of remarkable talent.
The Lyceum directors have decided to try
the plan of having no reservation of seats
this time, but let those who come first take
their own chance of seats in the hall. The
Lyceum members will simply show their
membership tickets at the door. Those who
are not members can go to Seals store any
time this week before the entertainment
and buy admission for so cents and get an
admission slip, which they will also show
at the door. They will also. take their
choice of seats as they come. Lyceum
members who desire extra seats can do
likewise.
With the reservation of seats plan, it has
been impossible to get the audience seated
on time, and many complaints have been
made
