Our Soldiers are not Complaining.

Who are the men that are responsible for
The fragrant charges that have appeared in
the newspapers from time to time during
the last two or three weeks. The public
now seem to understand for the first time
that the complaints are not coming from the
soldiers, but are the product of either SEN
satisual newspaper criticism or of disor-
dered fancy In the mind of some one who
wishes to gain prominence by putting him.
self forward as a critic. Gen. Wheeler who
has had perhaps the best chance of any man
connected with the army in the field, bears
testimony as to the false statements which
have gone out respecting the complaints OF
the soldiers Gen. Wheeler is reported as
saying, $50 far as my investigation goes,
no complaint has been made by any of the
brave soldiers that have added glory to our
arms In the Cuban campaign" He then
modifies his statement by saying that much
of the anxiety and unrest which have been
noticed In the various camps Is the effect of
the sensational newspaper statements on
the minds of parents, brothers, sisters of the
men in the field, and that great many peo-
pie on reading these stories have al once,
without stopping to investigate, started to
the front In order to find their boys and
llarn what the facts are. The testimony is
almost universal, as 1t Is now officially re-
ported by those who have gone into the
camps to investigate for themselves that
every thing is being done and has been done
to alleviate suffering, and that the care of
the sick is equal to the best that could be
afforded under the conditions existing. The
committee sent from the city of Washington
to visit the camp at Montauk Point, who
were to be present and receive the District
Volunteers, are reported to have said that
they found nothing to do on the arrival of
the troops, as everything had been done
which money and energy could accomplish.
The men who constitute the army today are
not the fault finding, complaining combina-
ton that the news papers would make them
appear. That some have suffered none will
deny, but they enlisted and went to the front
expecting to suffer. That some have died
and that some have been killed and manned
is acknowledged on all sides, but this was
to be expected first of all things, as war is
terrible; and instead of the men complain
ing of these fatalities that have come to
their comrades, we have no doubt but that
when an opportunity Is given to them on
home returning we will find eulogies taking
the place of the many sore complaints that
are now found In the press.

NEARLY 100000 LOSS
ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGE IN THE
BIG FIRE AT TERRE HAUTE.
Joint Senatorial Contest Reveals n
Quantity of Rotten Politics in
Madison County.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Dec. 21-By the
fire that started in the show window of the
Havens & Geddes department store Mon
day evening, one-half of the principal bus
mess block of the town was wiped out, two
buildings to the east of the alley on Wabash
street were gutted, one building across Fifth
street was burned and the glass in most OF
the windows in all the buildings on Wabash
street opposite the fire were broken by the
fierce heat. The losses:
Havens & Geddes (building). 100000; stock,
$3.50, COO. Breinig & Miller (furniture), $1,000;
building, $4,000. Pixley & Co. Cclothing),
$40 coo; building, s15O0O. w 3. Albrecht &
Co. (retail dry goods. $4,000; building, $685.

building, s15,C00. Ford & Overstreet Cloth
iers), $25, 5,O0O; building. $4,000. United States
Baking Company miller brothers), $4,000.
This gives total loss of $675,O00, which is
only an estimate.
Claude Herbert, who was acting as Santa
Claus in the Havens & Geddes building, is
missing and is supposed to have perished in
the flames. When the fire started he ran
to the top story to get his clothes and has
not been seen since He leaves family

jumped from the second-story window and
were lHleTIldlly lHJuF6u. InTSt lItllcN,
John Osterloo. John Welsh and William
OConnell fell into the cellar of the Ford
&S Overstreet store and were rescued after
a long time. They were seriously but not
fatally injured. Three other firemen were
severely burned. Louis Kramer, the WIN
dow trimmer, who was in the show window
when the fire started, was badly burned.
]. Q. Button, manager of the book de-
partment of the Havens & Geddes store,
and Albert Wainbrecht, bookkeeper, were
slightly burned. There were many narrow
escapes. Insurance in all lines cover about
50 per cent. of the losses. The burned build
ings will be rebuilt at once and all the firms
will re-engage in business. Some have en-
gagged new rooms and have already begun.
The statement last night that the Indian
apolis fire department had an engine at
work here was a mistake, due to the con-
fusion during the fire. When the Indian
apolis special train reached Greencastle the
fire was under control and the train went
no further.

HOOSIER CABINS.

Linton Call.
In the primitive Hoosier cabin-rough. un-
couth, simple abodes-more genuine happi-
ness has been enjoyed than in all the fine
costly mansions in the great city of New
York. Thousands of wealthy, respectable
men and women are living to-day who were
born, reared and married in such humble
cabins. And there are millions of people
living to-day who have no idea how these
cabins are constructed.

such as were built in Indiana. The pioneer
from some of the old Eastern or Southern
States, with his wife, six or eight children
gun and dog would come to Greene county
in his covered wagon, which was the family
abode until he erected his cabin, which was
constructed thus: Cut about forty logs
eight or ten inches in diameter twenty of
them sixteen feet long and twenty of them
fourteen feet long; slope the ends off half
and notch the other half to fit put chunks
in the cracks of the logs and daub them
with mud. The gables were made of shorter
logs until reaching what is called the comb,
the ends sloped down to suit the pitch of
the roof. 1t being now ready for covering.

part of cabin building-the fireplace and

the ground, case up the aperture inclose this
back wall of the fireplace and as high as the
aperture. Now dig yellow clay dampen,
