A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of Santiago.
Sick or Well, Rush
Night and Day.

The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammuni-
ton and RatiOns to the Front Saved
the Day.
Z. e. Butler, Of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba on
July 23d, says; We all had diarrhma
in 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 ra-
tions but thanks to Cham berlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy,
we were able to keep at work and
keep our health; in fact, / sincerely
believe that at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour 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 My comrade
and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa
and / know in four cases it absolutely
saved life"
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des

BENJAMIN STARK DEAD.
A Man Who Had Many New Haven
 Friends

A Man Who Had Many New Haven
 Friends.
 New London, Oct 11.-Hon. Benia- min Stark, one of the oldest citizens and one who had always taken deep interest in the success of New London, died at his residence on Huntington street last night after an illness of sev- eral weeks. MT Stark, up to com paratively short time ago, had been in robust health and was remarkably well preserved man. He was in the seventy-ninth year of his age, yet re- tained all that constitutes true man hood to the last, None of his faculties were in the slightest dimmed by age, and he was as keen and bright in his action and conversation as most men a quarter of a century younger. He pos sessed a marked degree of intelligence and it was a pleasure to listen to him, as he was a trained conversationalist and thoroughly versed on almost every subject.
 MT. Stark was born in New London and resided here the greater part of his life. Some forty or more years ago he lived in Portland, Oregon, and owned coHolueIdple property thelS shAAo Ae'u much to do with the building up of that now prosperous city. He was elected United States senator from Oregon and was easily among the leading citizens of that territory at that day. MT. Stark leaves two daughters and two sons, all except his son Benjamin, jr., residing at the parental home Ben jamin is a lieutenant in the Fourth United States volunteers and is now in Manzanillo, Cuba.
 In 1853 MT. Stark was a member of the Oregon territorial house of repre- | sentatives and in 1862 he was appointed as United States senator to fill a va- cancy. He was a member of the na- tional democratic convention from Ore gon in 1864, and from Connecticut ill l 1886
