THE GALLANT OATH REGI-
MENT,

OF all of Utah's brave troops,
none fought harder than the gal
liant oath. They we're in the brunt
of the charge at San Juan Hill, and
many of them went down in death.
It is time for the Broad Ak to do
some Growing. The oath must
walk off with the palm for the
state.-TRe ROEnd-yp, Randolph,
Utah.
Mr.. Round-upl The Broad Az
has done considerable Growing over
the achievements of the Twenty
fourth Regiment and the other
negro troops that led the ever
memorable charge up San Juan
hill, and the heroic exploits which
we're performed by these gallant
members of our race, who are
looked upon by the vast majority
of the American people with scorn
and contempt on account of our
color, cannot be surpassed In an
cient or modern warfare.
Every person who claims or pre-.
tends to belong to the white or the
superior race, ought to hang hi,
head in humiliation and shame
when he realizes or comprehend
the fact that under no circumstan-
ces would any of the white soldier
or troops proffer their services r
administer to their comrades who
were stricken down with the yellow
fever. But the Twenty-fourth Regi
ment stepped forth As one MAJ
and faced death and hell itself il
order to rescue their white ana
black comrades.

OMAHA AND CHICAGO.

ACCORDING to the World Herald
and the Bee, the reception and
banquet which VAS accorded to the
members of the Western Negro
Press Association by the citizens of
Omaha. on Tuesday evening, Aug.
%, 1898, was the finest and the
grandest social affair ever held In
that city.
Both of these great dsilies pro-
claimed to the world that it ex-
celled and surpassed the banquet
and receptions which have been
given by the best whites of Omaha.
The reception and banquet was
held at Creighton's HsA, which is
one of the largest in the city. The
interior of the hall was very artist
ically decorated. The side walls
were almost completely covered
With the emblems of Uncle Sam.
The stage and boudoir was also
decked in the national colors. Rare
potted plants we're scattered
throughOut the hall which was very
brilliantly illuminated. Punch
bowls we're stationed in each
corner of the room and were pre-
sided over by some of the fairest
ladies.
The banquet table was In the
form of the letter 7 and was deco
rated In the most lavish and costly
manner. More than three hun
dred invited guests sat down to the
festive board and it is estimated
that over FIVE hundred persons were
present and were served with re-
freshments. Dimick's orchestra
discoursed classical selections
throughout the evening.

banquet t;lH and while this mag
ni6cent Mir was at its height
Mrs.E,R. lOkrall, one of omaha''
fair society eaders, very gracefully
escorted MS Sound the entire hall
and presentS MS to all the hand

the honor being presented to
the invited ests from Chicago,
louisville, N.Y., st. Louis, No.
Denver, and from other points.
Some of the ladies whom We had
the pleasure of nesting were
anxious to ascertain whether the
representative from Utah was 9

answer IL the affirmative. Ther
they would inquire as 70 the mum

We very blandly informed then
that We only had seven, and j

beautiful creatures expressed
willingness % become our eight
companion providing we woul'
dispense With the other seven. Blu
itwss our UNPLEASANT duty to IN
form the ladies that this would no

Highest. Lowest.

The present year gave no promise until
quite recently of prices going up to any
phenomenally high point From the be-
ginning of the season the prospect was
distinctly discouraging for months Tt
was known TO the trade at large that
there had been an unusually large cut of
virgin boxes, on top of large cuts il the
previous two seasons, and the general ex-
peciation was that the crop would be the
largest on record, overlapping that of two
seasons before when the hight of produce
ton was thought TO have been reached.
There was no effort at a specula tive
movement as last year to give fictitious
strength 10 the market The normal con-
ditions of trade We're allowed to have fun
sway and the high prices now prevailing
are the legitimate outcome of natural
causes.
From the opening of the season there
was an exceptionally strong foreign de-
mand, with excessively heavy shipments
abroad. The war, too, failed except for
very brief period. 10 affect the home
consumptive demand uufavorably and the
domestic requirements proved better than
had been anticipated. There was no ac-
emulation of stocks at this or the other
ports, the spirits going to Europe or to
the Northern and Western distributing
points almost as rapidly as received at the
primary naval stores markets
II became evident, toward the middle of
| the season that in addition to an unusual
! ~ heavy crop there ~as demand for
| spirits turpentine in excess of anything
| ever known before in The history of naval
! stores This demand did not abate with
| the early fall, as many had expected, bur
| continued it's drafts on the stocks. -
| this time too. the storms came and added
| a new influence of strength TO the situa-
| ton by The creation of a feeling abroad
! as well as in this country, that the future
| supply might be much diminished The
continued demand, and the decreased re-
! ceipts which have been In evidence fol-
| some weeks now, opened the eyes of many
| to the true situation, and it was not long
! before the market began Of its votion tc
| assume decidedly bullsh tone. Any ef-
| forts to advance it for speculative pur-
| poses were of slight moment compared
| with the effect of conditions arising from
natural causes. For eight weeks past the
tendency of the market has been upward
| BY degrees It advanced 10 81 cents, and
| then in the past fortnight ii made the
| jumps that have placed il where it now is
over 80 per cent. of the crop is in. There

| entire thirteen weeks before the next nava

pect of the demand being maintained. il
! seems improbable that there can be am
serious decline from the present values
| The tendency of the market il would ap.
pear from a study of the circumstances
surrounding ii, should be toward ever
higher prices.

HIGHEST IN NINE YEARS.
SPIRITS TURPENTINE MAY co TO
FAMINE PRICES THIS YEAR.

The Phenomenal Demand in Europe,
Coupled with Large Requirements
at Home, and Diminishing Re
ceipts Have Pit the Article at
Practically Forty-Two Cents a
GaIIOn-Highcst and Lowest Prices
for Fifteen Years Past.
Spirits turpenune is now higher than
it has been at any previous time in the
past nine years. Forty-one and a half
cents is freely bid for the small receipts
and y is asked by the holders and viii
doubtless be obtained. The very highest
that any one expected this season, when
the future of the market was under dis
cusslon some weeks ago, was 80 cents. The
market is now practically Z cents higher
than that and there seems to be every
probability of ats reaching 10 cents before
the season is over. Some seem 20 antici-
pate such a high price for the article, but
no one is vet willing to prognosticate that

nine years ago. IN Aue SEASON. pl lco5-Sl
spirits reached As cents. There were sew
eral months of prices ruling over 40 cents
in that year and the lowest point to which
the market then dropped would these days
be considered under ordinary circum-
stances an especially high and profitable
price. At that time, though, prices for
roslus as well as spirits ranged much
higher than they have done in the last
few years and operators and factors made
money rapidly, although even then there
We're not few producers found who COM
planned over figures of which this seasons
average would hardly be 50 per cent. In
the following table the highest and low
est official quotations for spirits are given
for fifteen years. From them 1t will be
seen that il was not until the season of
1928 that the era of lower values began
which has continued until this time, as
shown by the comparison of the lowest
prices of the successive years. In consid-
ering the figures for this year it must be
remembered that fully Is per cent of the
crop had been marketed at low prices be-
fore there came the advancing movement
that has put the market where 1t Is to-
day So last year the sales at the high
values We're small compared to those that
were made at prices that are generally ac-
knowledged as being unremunerative. II
is not until the season of 1S90-91 is reached
that a range of values for an entire year
is found that indicates returns of a sub
stantially profitable character:
