Boys Are Now Bound.

A Farewell Epistle-To the Philippines the
Boys Are Now Bound.
CAMP LEEDY, May l5.-Little of
Importance transpired in camp last
night. Today Tom Bowlus. DR..
Chastain, Rak Miller and Clint Taylor
were our guests. To say they were
exceedingly welcome visitors was
putting it mildly and they will
especially be remembered as our last
visitors from lola before our de-
parture for Manila. This afternoon
the Goth and 2lst Regiments were
''sorted," and special double guard
put around each-the 2Ist regiment
being mustered in last night and
turned over to Col. Fitch. We very
much regret our comrades, "Pompy,"
Wright and Youtsey are not with our
company or regiment.
Today for the first time in week
we had a sufficient allowance Of grub
and the way the boys went after it
was a caution. At roll call Captain
Flanders bid the boys good bye and
wished the boys well, hoping we shall
come out victorious.
All the boys are in good health, ex-
cept some caught from exposure to
the exceedingly damp weather which
has lasted two weeks.
Barring countermanding orders,
we leave over the Santa Fe tomorrow.
Persons addressing any commune
cation to members of the Company
should be sure to make the address
as plain and concise as possible, The
name, (last known p. o. and
Twentieth Regiment, Company l.,
Kansas Infantry, will be sufficient to
reach any of us. Our journey to
Manila will require about five weeks
After leaving san francisco, we shall
not be able to write home very often
and we hope our home people will
not await communications too anX-
lously, rs we shall do our best to take
care of ourselves-and our best is
pretty good, We believe.

Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheu-
matism A few nights ago she was
i'm such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Cham berlain's
Pain Balm and stead of going for
the physician he went to the store and
secured a bottle of it. His wife did
not approve of Mr.. Rowland's pur-
chase at first, but nevertheless applied
the Balm thoroughly and In an hours
time was able to go to sleep. She
now applies it whenever she feels an
ache or pain and finds that 1t al
ways gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever did
her as much good. The 25 and 81

ITO BE CONTINUED
Is a Violent Death PainfuIy

Severe injuries to the body are seldom
very painful at first. The severity of the
nervous shock seems to paralyze the nerve
center where consciousness of pain Is sit
uated, and in fatal cases there is often no
sense OF pain, even when death is delayed
day or two. In such cases 1t may be sup
posed that the shock not only paralyzes
but even destroys the nerve center. 1t may
be compared to alightning flash along the
telegraph wires, which, although of the
same nature as the electric telegraph cur
rent, yet Is SO intense as to destroy tho re-
ceivlng instruments, so that no subsequent
messages can be received In somo fatal
Injuries the nerve that would carry tho
pain to the brain is destroyed, and such
accidents are almost painless Our sense
or pain Is greatest in the skin, and deep
wounds arc therefore not more painful
than shallow ones. In surgical operations
the skin incision Is often the most painful
part, and those who have been run through
the body say they were conscious only of
something cold passing through them,
with just prick at the points of entry
and exit of the weapon On the other
hand, some fatal injuries are very painful,
especially those that interfere with breath
ing such as injuries to the chest and
throat.-New York Advertiser.

by my side upon the bridge, "and tell
