THE PACKERS At THE BATTLE
OF SANTIAGO DE CUBA WERE
ALL HEROES-THEIR HEROIC
EFFORTS IN GETTING ANlMUNI-
TION AND RATIONS TO THE
FRONT SAVED THE DAY.
p Z. Butler, of pack train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 25rd, says: 1--WE all had diar-
rhoea i'm more or less violent form.
and when we landed we had no time
to see a doctor, for it was case of
rush, and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Chambe
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, we were able to keep at work
and keep our health: in fact, | sim
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect savior
of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been no way of getting supplies to
the front. There were no roads that
wagon train could use. Ny comrades
and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for
our pack train before we left Tampa,
and l know in four cases it absolute
ly saved life"

UNHAPPY CUBA.
Charles NJ. Pepper Writes Heart
rending Story of the Islands.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Chas.
NJ. Pepper, Cuban correspondent of
the Washington Star, who knows
more about Cuba than any other cor
respondent, has a dispatch in the Star
tonight, in which he says the condi-
tons in the rural districts are worse
than they were before the war open
ed. Mr.. Pepper writes from Guana-
jay, Pinar del Rio, and says:
Three thousand Spanish soldiers
are quartered in this little town and
its neighborhood They are awaiting
they know not what. Three thousand
locusts would be of more use to the
community. 1t is not the fault of the
Spanish soldiers. They must live, al
though they have to devour the lepn
substance of the land without giving
back the labor which would help to
renew its resources. If the condition
which caused the United States to 90
to war with Spain was an iutolerable
one, the present situation is worse.
This is the Judgment have forried af-
ter a pretty thorough Investigation
in the western part of the island. Cuba
has hung so long on the verge of anar-
chy, however. that she seems unlikely
to be plunged over the brink and into
the abyss now.

CONTRARY STEPHEN TRoGnL.
And the one Occasion Upon Which
He Ia said to Have Made q
slight Coneossion.

"I suppose" said Col. Calliper, "that
among contrary men my old friend
Stephen Trogill, who formerly lived in
Storkville Center, VT, would easily,
have stood first. He never agreed with
anybody or anything, and it was said
of him that he had never made even
the slightest concession to anybody,
except upon one occasion. But, con-
trary and exasperating as he was, he
was nevertheless a source of pride to
his fellow citizens, who regarded him
as townspeople are likely to regard
any one of their number who has at
tracted public attention by achieving
remarkable success, or by the mani-
festation of some remarkable quality.
And even the one concession that he
was reported to have made was of
such nature and made under such
circumstances. as, instead of lessening
their regard for him, still further COM
mended him to their approval.
"As they used to- tell the story in
Storkville Center, Mr.. Trogill had once
in some way found himself in place
where. as he stood looking about. he
was approached by q parsonage whom
he recognized instantly from the pic
lures he had seen of him. and who halt
ed alongside Of him and spoke::
'Um-m-you find 1t pretty warm
here. Mr.. Trogill?' this parsonage said.
"And the answer that heightened
Storkville CenIer's regard for Uncle
Stephen was:

ROOSTER SOLD AT 200.

over $4,000 and champion A
Twenty-6SvoA Baftisa.

The celebrated gamecock, Commo-
dore Wainwright, after his great VIC
tories at II olletsvilie, Laredo, San An
tonic and Caldwell, was sold in the
cock pit on Gen. Perdeu's ranch in
Burleson county. Tex, for $1,000. Don

and chicken fancier of Monterey. Next

was paid in gold, and while it was
being counted out the victorious young
rooster crowed Justify. His spurs we're
oloody from his cent victory and his
Gathers little rutfied, but otherwise
ne looked as fresh as the proverbial
spring chicken.
During the successful campaign
which the game young Commodore has
just completed he was entered in 81
mains and was the victor in every one.
1t is said that this bird has won more
than $4,000 for his owner during his
short career. He has fought his last
battle, for. according to the terms of
the bill of sale which the vendor gave
to Senor Montemayo, the great bird is
to be used as breeder, the purchaser
obligating himself never to fight the
cele brated gamecock again. b..
This is believed to be the highest
price ever paid for rooster in Texas.
but the price would not be regarded
as startling in old Mexico, where VIC
torious ROSTERS have often been ex-
changed for herds Of cattle, ranches
and silver mines. ~
Atahualpa was the original pet name
of this yv0ndeTful bird and Tuhan he
crowed he seemed. to say ii as plainly
:. as ever a feathered youngster pro-
nounced his own name. His trainer
made him stand still in gladiator at

on him. and when the snap shot was
finished he seemed to understand that
he was. expected to crow. and then his
admirers. all of whom were jingling

THE UNITED STATES SENATOR
SHIP.

SHIP.
Who will be the next United States
Senator from NevadaH The friends
of Sen ator Stewart claim that the ma
iority Of the legislature elected on the
9Th favor his return to the Senate.
while his opponents claim that the re.
suit. OF the election foreshadows his.
retirement. Those who claim the de-
feat of Senator Stewart claim that a
majority of the Legislature pledged
themselves to vote against Senator
Stewart and that if they keep their
pledges his defeat is assured. Those
who favor his return to the Senate
make the opposite claim. The oppo-
sition to Senator Stewart claim the
election OF twenty-four members of
the legislature who were pledged
against his return to the Senate. If
their claim is we'll founded and the
members Of the Legislature keep their
pledges to the people it looks as if
Senator Stewart would be retired.
The opposition claim twenty-four
members as follows:

in addition they claim that Sen ator
Williams of Churchill county and
Senator Kelley of Lander are doubt
full with the chances favoring their
falling into the anti-Stewart camp.
In the above list is included AS
semblYman MCGOWAN of Ormeby and
Gedney of Elko. The former was
elected on a platform pledging him
to support Senator Stewart. 1t is
said, however, by those who pretend
to know the true inwardness Of the
Ormsby county campaign that the
Silver party had conspired to defeat
MCGOWAN at the polls and that the
anti-3tewart men rallied to h1s sup
port and elected him. This it is
claimed absolved MCGOWAN from any
pledges he might have made to sup.
port Senator Stewart. This is a
serious question and one that Nc
Gowan should consider we'll before
he casts his vote. In the case
Of Assemblymen Gedney the
platform upon which he was
elected pledged him to support
Democratic United States Senator.
In some quarters he is looked upon as
favoring the election of Senator
Stewart, but upon what grounds the
INDEPENDENT does not know.

will be made against the victorious
party and those who do not keep
their pledges will come out of the

New Tail for His Cow.
From an Altoona Letter.

| From an Altoona Letter.
Several weeks ago a COW owned by
a well-known gentleman employed in
the lower shops of Altoona, met with
d mishap. The animal was turned
out of the stable for exercise, but in
! a short time she was attacked by
several dogs. They succeeded in get
ting hold of her tail and almost tore
it out of the socket, only a short
stub remainin =. The animal was
seriously disfgured, and the owner
conceived a novel idea of fixing her
up. He visited q slaughter house
near by and secured a new tail and
started for his home, happy over his
scheme to save his pet animal from
unfavorable comment.
He secured the necessary tools and
set to work. The stub and new
piece were carefully worked out into
good job of dove-tailing. He
placed the ends together and they fit
like a charm. The Joint was wrap
ped and tied with q heavy string.
All worked well for a Jew days, but
the other morning he took the ami
NAL out for stroll, met a crowd of
friends and stopped to explain his
patent. His achievement was simply
wonderful to his hearers, but mo-
lnent later his labor and idea we're a
thing of the past. A large horsefy
made it's appearance and perched
upon the. animals back. The stub
commenced to work and the new end
was thrown in the direction Of the
pest. Then it became detached and
landed around the neck Of the invent
or. He pleaded with his friends to
keep thu matter quiet, but it leaked
out, and now. he is tbs subject ofcon-
siderable fun at the hands Of his fel-

attending the convention Of the
Working Girls societies at Coooer
Union, New York. j have never seen
a brighter, braver, more womanly
set Of girls in my life, and ! realized
more than ever the great number Of
women We who are wage earners, and /
:telt q great throb of thankfulness
that. they all looked 50 clean hearted.
The working girl who does her work
we'll, who earns her M money honestly,
is always willing to pay for whatshe
gets, but who, because Of the hours
that must be devoted to the daily
toll, very often pays more than she
need because there is so much she
cannot do herself. 1t .,e$ !. 5.5. !. E
In the evening the eyes that have
been strained all day are too tired
to watch a needle as it goes in and
out a darn, or freshenan steam the
trimming that is, to go upon a hat!
The consequence is that the mending
is left forever nndone end milliner
is paid fora new hat. Now, in every
city in the United States there are
women who want to earn money,
who say they do not know how to
do it, and yet who are misstresses of
the art of sewing and mending. Any
girl would be willing to pay a proper
price to have the gown which it torn,
the stockings that are. worn, the
gloves that are ripped, and the hat
that is getting dusty and worn,
made to look. as good as new, but
who shall do it? .C.. III: 49,.

hand to look after this, and depend
ence must be placed upon a stran-

Among the numerous women who
want to earn a little money why
doesn't one. start just such a bust
ness as this? Fresh braid can be put
on a skirt, it could be given cheer
full brushing, the torn pocket mend
ed, and fresh hooks put on a belt,
and, behold, it is the very thing
wanted for wear during business
hours or on rainy. days. A suitab
price should be asked for work of
this kind andI. frmly believe that

would soon find it necessary to ad-
yertise for assistants. Let some one
in one of the Working Girls clubs or
in a group of Kings Daughters find

her worth and then recommend her to
all the girls who want to have the

A Fight in the White House.

: There was an exciting scene. on the
south portico of the. white house
a short time ago, growing out
OF a battle. between a gartersnake
and an enorm Gus spider, resulting in
the deatflofb bothp tiicipants. While
the workmen employed in putting
down the tiling on the portico were
in the act of raising one of the big
sandstone slabs they were startled
by the appearance OF a green snake
about two feet long, and evidently
spelling for a fight. Curling himself
up in a knot, his snakeship invited
an attack by Kissing violently and
darting his tongue in and out in an
alarming manner. A big black spi-
der: having just finished spinning a
new web, came slowly toward the
snake, being suspended on a single
strand. Both struck simultaneously,
and the spider dropped dead as if
struck by electricity.
After emitting a frothy substance
from it's MOUTH the snake began to
squirm as if in pain, and lashed the
stone floor with it's tail, making a
smack like the cracking of q whip. A
well-directed blow with a shovel by
one of the tilers cut the snake in two
pieces, and it was soon rendered in
capable of further mischief. Jerry,
