The administration at Washing
ton is determined that the South
shall get as little as possible out
of the present war with Spain, and
with this object in view the War
Department is srrsnginging to
break up all the camps of concen-
tration in the South and move the
troops to camps in the North
where it is claimed they will be
less liable to sickness, although no
complaints have been made con-
corning the health of the soldiers
who have been concentrated at
Chickamagua, Jacksonville, Attain
ia, Tampa and other Southern
points. The movement of the
troops will of course cost the gov
eminent hundreds of thousands of
dollars in railway transportation,
but this is fact not to be consi-
dered when the North is to be be-
nefted by reaping big profit in
furnishing supplies for 10000
men. Very few of the troops
which are to be moved to camps
in the North will be sent out of
the country and as their services
are not needed, they should, as
Gov. Woodbury., of Vermont, says,
be mustered out of the service and
sent back home to their families
and their business. States.

The little entertainment given
last Sunday at Duchamp's hall for
the benefit of our soldier boys,
though not advertised, a surprise
party more than anything else,
WAS a splendid success in every
way. The weather was bad and
our roads were muddy, but that
did not prevent people to come
from everywhere, to crowd the
large hall. The entertainment
was very good in all its details.
The boy orator, David Todd, aged
nine years is a real orator, and q
truly remarkable child. His reci-
tations was a treat that was gree
Oily relished by the audience. Mr..
Charles Duchamp has also treated
the audience with a splendid reci-
tation. The singing, music and
tableaux was very good, and the
audience appreciated fully the few
hours spent at this little entertain
ment. A ball and euchre game
followed the entertainment.
We were asked this week il the
Catholic church of Houston, Tex
as, was under the control of the
Archbishop of New Orleans, and
if all churches in all diocesses fol.
lowed the same rules, but that we
could not answer with any assu-
rance.
This question was made because
the Catholic church in this die
cesse refuses to bury Pythians,
while the late John Cairns who
was a member of Centennial lodge
of this town, who died in Hous-
ton, on July 31st was buried from
the Catholic church, the priest &C.
companied the corpse to the Pyth-
ian cemetery, and after the reli-
gious ceremony had been perfor-
med the Pythian ceremonies fol-
lowed.
We see in the Times-Democrat
Of Monday that the Archdiocese
of New Orleans is composed of the
diocesses of Dallas, Galveston,
Little Rock, Mobile, Natchez, Nat
chitoches, San Antonio, Brown
sville and Indian Territory, there
fore, We can see no reason why the
rules are not the same.

islands IS q matter OF great mo-
ment not only to Great Britain,
France and Spain, but also TO Ger
many, Russia, China and Japan.
The diplomatic representative of
the Pekin and Toxic governments,
as we'll as the ambassadors of the
German Empire and the French
Republic, have already requested
President Mckinley to indicate
his intentions with regard to the
Philippine archipelago. The ba-
lance of power on the western
shores of the Pacific was not af-
fected, 80 long as the islands re-
NAMED in the hands of Spain,
which was strong enough to re-
press piracy, but not strong
enough to constitute a factor of
spprecisble weight in an interna-
tional coalition. Should the Phi
lippines, on the other hand, fall
under the control of any of the
great maritime nations which al
ready possess coigns of vantage in
the Far East, the balance of pow
or would be upset, owing not
merely to the wealth and popula-
ton of the islands. but to their
unrivaled strategic position. In
the hands of Germany, for exam
pie, they would be a perpetual
menace to the French Dependent
cies in Farther India, to the Bri-
fish establishments at. Singapore
and Hong Kong, to the Japanese
island of Formosa, and to the
southeastern coast of China. In
the hands of France, they would,
in conjunction with Anam and
Tonquin, convert the so-called
China Sea, which is the great
highway of travel between Europe
and the Far East, into a French
lake. To Great Britain, they
would prove more valuable than
any territory on the Chinese main-
land, because they could be more
easily defended, and the base
which they would offer for the
operations of a feet would assure
to England ascendency in every
Chinese seaport. Could Japan
secure the archipelago, she would
double her insulsr possessions.
and would become a formidable
competitor for the eventual ac-
QUESTION of the great islands fur
Their south. There is no doubt
that, next to the Spaniards, the
great powers would prefer to see
the Americans established at Man.
lila, provided, of course, we did
not enter into a political alliance
with Great Britain. Had we made
the mistake of forming such a
league, all the great maritime ma
tions interested in the Far East
would have combinded to bar us
out of the Philippines, and they
would have the sagacity to fight
now, while our navy is compare
lively small, and can render, there
fore, to Great Britain much less
assistance than it will be able to
give some years hence. By adher-
ing to our traditional policy of
avoiding entangling alliances, we
shall excite the minimum of jea-
lousy and apprehension, and shall
undoubtedly be suffered to con-
troll the PHILIPPINE archipelago,
either as annexed territory or un-
der the guise of a protectorate.-

300 persons are believed to have per-

ing of a levee of the Ohio river. Houses
were turned and tossed about like
boxes. The people had no warn
ing. Those at home sought refuge in
second stories and on house tops.
Those in the streets were carried
before the avalanche of water. In
the center part of the town some
brick structures stopped the rush
of water for a few minutes,
but about two-thirds of the dwell
ings were lifted from their foundations
and floated out into the current of the
river. After a few minutes large
house that had started down stream
with the others caught fire. A num-
Der of houses that it struck in its zig
gag course caught fire and the people
on the roofs were obliged to intrust
themselves to improvised RATS. Be-

aged in one way or another to make
their way to the high hills back of
the town or to houses in the higher
section of the village itself.
Nooffers have yet been made to search
for bodies, the attent ton of the relief
parties being directed almost entirely
to the distribution of supplies and
making the homeless as comfortable
as possible. The relief work is we'll
organized. Tents and blankets sent
by the governor yesterday will
be promptly distributed. Those who
escaped lost everything and their
homes are in ruins. Hundreds of peo-
pie have not been rescued from the
houses in which they were imprisoned,
others are still in the treetops and
still others are afoat on the waste of
the torrent. Late reports say the en-
tire levee will be destroyed by morn
ing and every frame house in town is
certain to be dashed to pieces. The
wind is blowing 35 miles an hour with
rain that cuts like glass. Every means
of assistance is used to provide food
and shelter to the hundreds of homeless
refugees. Absolutely nothing has been
saved in the city. The stores and 9TH
err business houses are flooded to the
second floors. All the streets are under
water from ten to so feet. Provisions
are constantly arriving from all the
neighboring towns. A relief train ar
rived here last night, but owing to the
high winds and roughness of the water
at the ferry crossing, all attempts to
transfer the provisions across have
been abandoned. Gov. Tanner yester-
day afternoon started from Spring
field 100 tents, blankets enough for
500 people and sufficient amount of
prepared food for the immediate relief
of 1000 people

the secretary of war held long con-

which the regular army should
be concentrated in case of war
was one of the matters under
consideration. 1t was virtually de-
cided that Chickamauga should be
the place and orders were issued ac-
cordingly to the Twenty fifth, the only
regiment yet actually ordered to move.
All post commanders have been mott
fed to be ready, for war is thought to
be at hand, and about $4,000 regulars
will, if this is the case, in day or two
be on their way to the same place.

A Dyspeptic's daily diet.

Dyspepsia Is one of the most prevalent of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
It in a more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness: What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
is the toning up of the entire system. For
tify the system and it will do its own fight
Ing. and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success of DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla in curing indigestion and dyspep-
STA is due to just this quality which it
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body:
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
Or. Ayers sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings it up to the level of
the strong food fit for men. It does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength, What
DR., Ayers Sarsaparilla will do for dyspep-
STA is best illustrated in cases like that Of
