THERE is no probability that the
war with Spain will last long
enough for the battleships Illinois.
Alabama and Wisconsin, now be-
ing built, to participate, The Ar
NOR trust, composed of the Carne-
gle and Bethlehem companies,
which refused to make the armor
for these ships under the act of
the last Congress, limiting the cost
to $500 a ton, have now submitted
bids to furnish it under the act of
the present Congress, raising the
limit to $500 ton, but the deliv-
cry of the armor will not be begun
until next December and will not
be completed until a year after
that date; so that the government
will be lucky if the battleships are
ready for service by the middle of
1900.

tF A q d
During the summer OF 1891, Mr.. Chas.
p. Johnson, we'll known attorney of
Louisville, Ky, had . very severe attack
of summer complaint. Quite number
of different remedies were tried. but failed
to afford any relief. A friend who knew
what was needed procured him bottle
OF Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and diar-
rhoea Remedy, which quickly cured him
and he thinks, saved his life. He says
that there has not been day since that
time that he has not had this remedy in
his household. He speaks OF it in the
highest praise and takes much pleasure
in recommending 1T whenever an oppor-
tunity is offered. For sale by H. d. Al

MR.. BRY.ANS CRITICS.

When the manhood of the nation
responded with patriotic fervor to
the call to arms, Mr.. Bryan's self
constituted critics rang the cry all
over the land: "Where is Bryan?"
Then when they learned that he
was willing to serve his country in
any capacity to which he might be
assigned, Offering to enlist as a
private and march to the front,
they denounced this as a palpable
exhibition of demagogy, declaring
that no man Of his standing needed
to prove his loyalty and patriotism
in that way. Now that Mr.. Bryan
is raising regiment at his home
in Nebraska and expects to go out
as it's Colonel, his detractors are
making merry over the incident
and heaping much ridicule upon
him.
All of which goes to show that
Mr.. Bryan cannot hope to please
his fool critics. When he did not
proclaim in hot haste his sagerness
to shoulder gun and march on
Cuba alone, they said he was q
coward. When he enlisted as
private in company composed of
his neighbors, they said he was a
demagogue. Now that he is rails
ing a regiment, they say he is
self-seeking politician, and are al
ready reviling his command with
the epithets of the "Silver Lee
gion," "Willie's Wonders" and
other similar titles of detraction.
1t can be safely predicted, with
out any attempt to defend Mr..
;ryan from the silly attacks of his
detractors, that if he goes into the
war he will display the same
qualities of heart and mind that
have endeared him to millions
of his countrymen. He has youth,
personal magnetism. ambition,
courage, good sense and natural
power of command attested by an
experience that falls to the lot of
few Americans.

ONE Of the most encouraging
signs that the invasion of Cuba is
to be hurried up is in interview
with Gen. Miles which has been
widely printed, in which he says
that the invasion will take place
when the army is in proper condi-
ton and when other conditions are
deemed favorable, and that the
government does not intend to be
hurried. Those are not the exact
words Of Gen. Miles, but they ex-
press the meaning Of his words. It
is inconceivable, in view of the
secrecy maintained by all other
officials that the commander Of the
army INDUCED in talking for pub
lication without having al import
ant subject in view; also that he
should have told the enemy that
the invasion Of Cuba Was indefn-
ately postponed, il the authorities
really intended to postpone it. It
is therefor very likely that his in
terview was made public to deceive,
for the belief is general that the
American flag is going to be plant
ed in Cuba without any further de-
lay. After setting many times for
his departure from Washington,
Gen. Miles has at last got away
and will establish his headquar-
tiers at Tampa, Florida. The wea-
Their at Tampa at this season of
the year is not such as to tempt a
man from this latitude to go there
for pleasure.

Thirteen year old Elmer Helgesen,
second son Of II. T. Helgesen, became
quite hero suddenly and unexpectedly
yesterday morning. While drawing kero-
sene oil in the oil room his foot scraped
on parlor match which ignited and in.
stantly huge flames sprung up around
him. He calmly set the measure Of oil
down. called for help, ran out the back
door, closing it tightly after him, and
away to the engine house and sounded
the alarm. Had he dropped the measure
and spattered the oil about the room, or
had he left the door open after rushing
out, the entire block might have been
ruined as a result. Such presence of
mind Is remarkable in a boy of his age.
AS reward for bis heroic conduct his
father presented Elmer with handsom 9
gold watch.
