Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead SO that
when favorable opportunity pre-
sents itself he is ready to take advan-
tage of it. A little forethought will
also save much expense and valuable
time. A prudent and careful man will
keep bottle of Cbamberlain's Collie,

The pr. SIS of the country has finally

The strict censorship ordered by the
Government has made it almost i'm
possible to get definite news of the
movements being made by the United
States army and navy. The best cor
respondents to be obtained are as near
the seat of war as it is possible for
them to get, but their messages are
read and boiled down by government
officers until they are hardly worth
the while to read. We started in to
publish a column or so of war news
each issue taking the best of each
days reports. This plan worked very
well until we undertook to read the
entire column on publication day. The
result was that we would have several
items telling of steps taken or battles
fought, and then would come a denial
of the whole thing.
The sum and substance of occur
rences since last issue amounts to
nothing, save the mastering in of more
volunteers, and the second call made
by the president. Under this last call,
Kentucky will furnish one more reg
ment and several hundred recruits to
the regiments already organized. Hon.
ID. e.. Colson will raise the new regi-
ment and the men will be taken en-
tirely from Eastern Kentucky. Gov.
Bradley's effort to furnish a colorcd
regiment was in vain.
The L. ). regulars and volunteers
are still at Tampa, though they may
be landed in Cuba before this paper
gets to its readers. Eight additional
regiments are to be sent to the Phil
ipines, giving Maj. Gen. Merritt a
force of 10000 men.
The Spaniards are doing their ut.
most to keep out of the way of the
American ships. Their Cape Verde
fleet took refuge in the land-locked
harbor at Santiago, aud it was imme.
diately bottled up by Schley's big
feet.
Admiral Dewey still holds Manila by
the throat, and the Spaniards are una.
BILE to escape from sure starvation or
surrender.
Reports from Port au Prince and
Cape Haytien say that the outer forti
fications of Santiago harbor were
bombarded Tuesday by the American
fleet The reports are from Spanish
sources and are not verified. No state
ment is made as to the damage done.
1t is difficult to determine, from the
conflicting reports sent out, when the
main movement against Cuba will be.
gin. o. course, any plans are liable to

new conditions arising, but the plans
at present in view do not seem to be

A HOWL is going up in Kentucky
over the report that the additional
troops called for will be sandwiched
in the regiments now organized. and
no new regiments will be formed. Of
course this kick is made by fellows who
want to BE- officers. If man wants
to fight for his country, there is room,

awaiting him. The kick only comes
from those wanting office. Uncle Sam
wants fighters, not figure heads.
