Something a Little Strong

Hopes For Bet
ter Health.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
MANrTAU, Colo, July 81 have
been here for three weeks. Iordered
your paper two days before I started.
1t took me about "a hours to make the
trip. Query-How long will it be
before the paper arrives2
My health Is not much better. With
the attitude here about / miles higher
than Mexico and Audrain county, and
the water sc strong of soda, sulphur
and iron, and the cool mountain
breezes, which make you don your
coats and blankets, ones entire physi-
cal system must sooner or later
undergo a change as a result of 80
many new causes; SO I have hopes.
Manitau is full of visitors, as usual
at this season, with n notable change
are SO many politicians here
this year. This is really a fat season
for the hotels, but not SO fat for the
political boss aspirants-too much rest
for them to be very fat.
1 suspect the fact that the United
States is supposed to be at war with
Spain and that some of the old issues
are at present entombed, either dead
or alive, and that new men r called
upon to consider new measures and
contrive new mean accounts for the
presence here of so many notable gen.
tiemen.
Colorado is still for Bryan and free
silver, but not altogether for Bryan
and his Omaha speech. This state, like
all the pushing, enterprising western
country, demands that we get all the
territory we can in noble, honorable
battle and hold or tight to all we get.
Enumeration, Civilization and Pro-
gression" is the motto.
The free silver Democrats, the Pop
ulists and the free silver Republicans
are here; have either fused or the
process is now on, and there seems to
be no doubt of anything but victory
under that combine. 1t seems to me
that the ''combine" part of this fusion
would not meet with the approval of
the Populists; at least, they used to
be against "combines."
see from the Mexico Intelligencer
that there is some talk going the
rounds that Hon. Champ CLARK is to
have some struggle for further poiiti-
cal honors and that Geo. Robertson
is the man to be pitted against CLARK.
I have not yet been able to learn what
the issue will be, but under the pres
emit conditions I should think it would
be, "What Shall We Do With the
Ph~ilippines?"
Mr.. CLARK has made an able repre-
sentative and has served the people
well, but if, by any adopted or con-
ceived means, Geo. Robertson should
60 to Congress, I believe the common
people will say that NJ abler man has
been called 90 duty from that district.

A SIGHT WORTH SEEING.
The Great Crowds at Chickamaupa
Park. Soldiers and Peopls-Boys
Sending Money Home.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Spotswood, of
this county, have received the follow
ing letter from their son, who is a sol.
der boy at Camp Thomas:
CHICKAMAUGA, GA, July 12.-Dear
Father and Mother: / win write you
a few lines to-day. I haven't heard
from home for about two weeks, I
wrote some days ago but suppose You
never received my letter. This letter
leaves me we'll and enjoying good
health; hope it will find you all the
same.
1 guess you are all busy harvesting
and blowing corn. Threshing lie over
down here and everybody for ten
miles around are here peddling apples,
peaches, melons, vegetables, etc.
There are from 10000 to so, 900 peo-
pie here in the park every day; about
g. 10000 are soldiers. Everything is on
the rush. 1 tell you it is a sight to see
the crowds around Lyle station,
where the equipments all come in.
People on foot and horseback and
with wagons and four-mule teams to
the number of 800 are there all at one
time.
A person not in the service has no
idea of the expense the government
Is now to. The paymaster has COM
pleted his work here and has gone to
Tampa to pay the soldiers there. Our
regiment was paid off last Friday, the
Sth. Each private received pay
according to time Of enlistment. All
that enlisted the time I did drew
$2s. go, or two months pay.
The Post Office has been overrun
with applicants for money orders.
The boys are sending lots of money
home. Between $4,000 and 800, 900
go out every day. I am going to put
40 cents to my salary and send it
home for you ali to take care of for
me. I owe Rube and Joe $5 apiece
and expect them to get their money
out of it.
I expect we will leave here before
another week. The report Ia that the
park has been condemned on account
of the water and filth that has accum-
ulated since we arrived here. We
did haul u drinking water from the
lake at Chickamauga. 1t is furnished
by a constant stream from the famous
Crawfsh Spring. The lake has been
leased by a fishing club and they have
stopped rs from hauling from there,
SO we have to use water from the
river at present.
I am still working with the team;
don't have very much to do at pres
emit. I would rather drive the team
than TO drill or go on guard either. If
we do leave here it's hard telling
where we will land. I think we will
have to 60 further south, so az to be
nearer the scene of action.
The board of inspectors were in our
regiment last week and they pro-
nounced us to be the healthiest and
most fit for actual service than any
other regiment in the park. If we
wasn't brigaded in the Third Army
Corps we would be right in the front
at the next call. Well, / will close for
this time; hope to hear from you all
soon. l remain
Your son in obedience,

BENEFITS TO HUMAN FAMILY.
Columbian School of 0steopathy, Med.
icine and Surgery, at Kinks
vile, Missouri.

Medicine and surgery with mechan-
ical manipulation is comprehensive
and reasonable and appeals to the
better judgment Of the unprejudiced
and commands the attention of the
most skeptical. The more thoroughly
it is examined the more one is con-
WINGED of its benefits to mankind.
The object of the Columbian School
is to perfect the art of healing by COM
bjning the marvellous discoveries of
Osteopathy with the old and tried
remedies of medicine, bringing into
scientific investigation all the essential
elements known to the science of
healing in one splendid institu-
ton; hence, a diploma issued by this
school is worth more than n issued
by any other, because these three
great branches of learning can be
found exclusively in the Columbian
School of O~steopathy, Medicine and
Surgery, at Kirksville, Missouri. M.
L.. Ward, M. d. D. D., is the founder
of this fourishing school and at the
head of the Ward Infrmary. He is a
pioneer in the science of Osteopathy
and it is unquestioned that he is the
most scientific and skillful operator
known to the profession.
The course in this institution is thor
ough and complete, requiring four
terms of five months each for Osteop-
athy, while the course in medicine
requires two additional terms in sep
arate years of six months each. The
Polytechnic course admits all holders of
diplomas from recognized medical col
leges, who may graduate in Osteopathy
in a term of ten months.
Other professions are so badly
crowded as to be unremunerative to
even their most experienced and COM
petent followers, while Osteopathy Is
yet in its infancy and the present
demand for we'll drilled Osteopaths
greatly exceeds the supply.
Cures are being accomplished almost
daily at the M. L. Ward Infirmary,
evidencing that Osteopathy is so sue
cessful in dealing with disease that it
is a guarantee to Industrious young
men and women who become skilled
operators that they will reap a rich
reward in worldly goods, and, greater
still, will s'live to bless mankind"
Such a profession is within your reach.
Choose it, learn it, practice it. For
further Information address r. M.
