CAMP GEORGE II. THOMAS,
July ID, 1898.
Our regiment went seven miles up the
mountains to a shooting range to practice
today, and never had more tun in all my
life than l had there. Near by are two
mineral springs with the finest water l
ever tasted. The doctor, when he got back
condemned all the water around the Four
teenth regiment and we have water de-
tails to go after that water every day. 1
am very much surprised to find in your
last letter that you are still worrying over
me. l cut my heir because tits the best
thing one caL.do down here. My hair will
grow out much thicker and stronger.
Don't ever believe will be discouraged

care of myself. We take a shower bath
once week. It is supplied for US by the
regiment. When Bruce and I went to the
post office today we found to our great
luck box of "Exquisites" sent by the boys
from Morris. William Wunsch had
hundred "Orientals" sent him, so they are
lucky lot down here. We smoke only in
the evenings, one or two day, AS we
have nothing else to do evenings, we en-
joy ourselves in great style.
In this letter, send a package contain

They will go through eight men shot at a
distance of eight miles. The rifles we
have will be ours after the war. They are

holds fifty rounds, also a scabbard that
we use, around our belt. You will also find
one more Union bail, one Confederate ball

These are great relics and / hope you will
save them as 1 prize them very much
They are getting very scarce and we have
to run chances in finding them.
We have some very nice officers. Our

Quoted as they always had beep. Al
ter some discussion, the opinion of r.

ed a.majority and was declared elected

On motion to instruct the secretary
to cast the favorable ballot, there we're
one or two dissenting votes. d. L.
Wheaton was nominated and the vote
taken. Mrs. Spooner received ma
jority and was declared elected.

on the board, who unfortunately re-
fused to serve again, there were many

NAL ballot, were declared the nomi-
nees. On the formal ballot, D. 7.

covernor voorhees' assurance.


Among the provisions o the amended
game laws passed by both Houses of the
New Jersey Legislature last Winter was
one to permit farmers to shoot rabbits out
of season when found damaging young
trees. The farmers of Somerset and Hun
terdon counties have recently sustained a
great deal of damage to their fruit trees,
but they are powerless to protect them
selves, because the game laws passed by
the Legislature have not been approved by
the Governor, and there is heavy penalty
imposed for shooting rabbits out of season.
Senator Foster of Hunterdon county recent
ly sent Gov. voorhees, strong plea on
behalf of the farmers. He has just re-
ceiyed from the Governor the following
letter, which he makes public
"I know that the popular feeling among
the farmers is very strongly in favor Of
that portion which permits the killing OF
rabbits when found damaging their fruit
trees, but in order that they may have
that right there seems to me to be no
necessity for the enactment OF new law.
All they need to have is the assurance
from me that if any of the game wardens
attempt to impose fines for violation of
the game laws in this respect in such
instances, /, exercising my authority. would
at once remit any tnes so imposed.
believe if this were generally known the
farmers would remain content with the
law as it is. ?
How is it that our Republican friends
brush aside the law SO easily when it
doesn't suit their convenience to live up to
ite provisions? And suppose we have a
Governor who believes that laws are laws
and are made to bs enforced --what will
the farmers do then ~

At the session of the National Medical
Association, at Denver, on last Wednesday,
the subject of appendicitis being under
discussion, DR.. w. w. Keen, of Phila
delphia, took strong ground against too
ready application of the knife whenever
there is suspicion of the disea g. In the
course of his remarks he said =
The physician should call the surgeon
at once, whenever he arrives at the con-
clusiOn that the symptoms show appendi-
citis In majority of cases the surgeon
is called too late. | protest against the
use of opium, except in rare cases, as it
has tendency to mask the symptoms OF
the disease and leads the patient to the
grave. l protest against the argument of
DR.. Niles, that every case ought to be
operated Upon and the appendix is never
TO be left. Out OF 800 post mortems on
as many bodies it was found that 100 of
the individuals had had appendicitis at
sometime in their lives and had all re-
covered fIom the disease | challenge the
assertion that through sergical Operations
all but 2 per cent. of cases can be saved
l challenge any operator in the room to
them without killing more than per
cent. We all fail, gentlemen. do not
know why, but we all fail. 1 do not be-
aieye in operating on all cases of append
citis. I'd rather have live m n with an
appendix than a dead an without ore.
(Applause). do not believe with the
witty Frenchman that no case is complete
without a pOst-mortem. (Laughier). If
the patent is no worse after forty -eight
hours of observation, let him alone; let
him get WE'LL"
The utterance is important, coming as it
does, at time when the general tendency
is to consider an attack of appendicitis as
offering the two chances OF death by dis
ease or death by the knife The statement
of DR.. Keen that out of 300 post-mor ems
100 of the subjects we're found to have
had appendicitis and to have recovered
from it without surgical treatment dis
closes condition concerning the disease
first, in its prevalence, and. second, in its
cnrability-which had not been generally
suspected.
