soon thing of the past A number
of regiments have already been or
dered home A number of others have
been ordered to knoxville. Tenn. and
Lexington KY, and now comes an
order to Colonel Wheeler. acting chief
quartermaster, TO secure bids from
railroads to convey all regiments re-
naming at the camp to their respec-
tive state capitals. The idea seems to
be to get the regiments to places
where they can be mustered out close
to home, the necessity for keeping the
army intact being no longer in evil
dence. Numerous regiments are now
making preparations to leave and by
the end of the week the population of
tie camp is expected to be reduced to
Hone-half of what 1t now is. The regf-
ments ordered to Knoxville and Lex
ington will be moved as rapidly as
transportation can be secured. As soon.
as these are gotten out those ordered
home will be started on their way.
The First Georgia and Thirty-hrst
Michigan left at midnight for Knox
Vile, where they will go into camp.
The Twelfth Minnesota and the Fifth
Pennsylvania will leave at an early
hour for Lexington, and others OF the
Second and Third divisions, of the First
corps will follow in short order. The
ambulance company of the Third divi-
sion goes to Knoxville.

For state Senator.
At the Democratic Senatorial
Convention held at Ravenswood,
Saturday, Capt. Oliver Phelps, of
Mason county, was nominated as
the Democratic candidate for
State Senator, to represent the
Fifth Senatorial District in the
upper House of the Legislature
The nomination of Capt. Phelps
gives the Democrats a strong and
popular candidate. He is gen.
tIemen of education and ability,
and is one of our very best citi-
zens. He is veteran of the late
war for the Union, and his old
comrades in arms will be apt to
rally to his support. If elected,
he will be Senator that the Dis
trict will feel proud of. We pre-.
dict the Captains triumphant
election.
The Buffalo IN. W Express
drops this suggestion: IS Som e
fifty veterans of the civil war who
are serving in this war have been
dropped from the pension rolls.
The law declares that n person can
not draw pension as an invalid
and the pay of his rank OF station
in the service at the same time.
Yet a pensioner can hold civil
Office under the government which
may be much more profitable than
his military position, and his pen
sion goes on just the same" The
pension system has drifted into
abuses and Inconsistencies, and on
this account, if for no other, is a
fit subject for reform.
The builder of the Oregon, on
being interviewed recently on the
question of the future American

tected. with heavy guns and large
coal capacity, and also heavily ar
mored. All these features COM
bined are possible in warship.
and they will be combined better
than heretofore" And the coun-
try wants all future warships to be
of this kind
Every parent in the Independent
School District of Point Pleasant,
is interested in the selection of
Board of Education for the Dis
trict. The Board select the teach
ers, and it is to the teacher that
child owes much that goes to make
up its success or failure in life
A good board of education will Sc
lect good teachers; good teachers
have good schools; good schools
turn out good scholars and good
scholars make good citizens. Good
citizenship is the foundation of
good government and with good
government country is prosper
GUS and the people happy and con-
tented. Therefore, it is important
that we have good schools and to
have good schools we must have
good school officers.

NARROWING SIGHTS.

NARROWING SIGHTS.
Attend the DsbarLation of spanAsh
Troops at Santiago.
Santiago, Cuba, Aug. 22@Since the
surrender of Santiago one thing has
been uppermost here, namely, the
health and condition of the brave
American soldiers who fought and
were victorious. In consequence of
protests from commanding officers the
orders from Washington as to the dis
position of the army were changed,
and the troops are embaridng daily
for the health giving breezes OF the
north.
AS Spanish prisoners passed through
the city on the way to the docks sights
were seen that brought tears to the
eyes of men. who are not readily
moved Most of these men were thin
and of sickly pallor. hollow checked
and sicl1ly.
Down on the wharf. being loaded on
the steamer lighter vessie, were long
lines of stretchers, each with its pitt
full burden. Faces that looked like
death heads, every line of the skull
marked on the yellow skin, protruding
teeth, over which the lips would not
close. one man grasped in claw that
had crushed them three pieces of
American hard tack. Others had food
hidden under their scant coverings.
Their weight was nothing, yet four
we'll men staggered under the burden
of one stretcher. Down the city streets
came other professions OF stretchers.
Vanquished and sick, weak. pitiful.
moaning, staggering. they drift into
town.
When the city surrendered the pros
pective return to Spain brought joy
to many hearts. The fulffllment of the
promise was sad. Ten American am
balances have been detailed to help
carry in those unable to walk, and we
have erected tents on the dock where
the sick can wait until the lighter is
ready for them.
ct was not camp out there" said
a Spanish officer. -sit was a graveyard.
Between 200 and 800 went into the hos
pital daily. Hospital? It was not
hospital-there were no medicines;
there was no attendants. Forty men
were dying every day and the trenches
are full of the dead. We have saved you
many $50 for passage money to
Spain. That camp has been nearer
hell than anything in the war. Dysen-
terry is carrying them OF. "
Our own soldiers were sick, but the
condition of the Spaniards is SO many
times worse that our men seem strong
and healthy compared to them. The
Spaniards were not in this condition
when they moved to their camp.
