DENVER, AUGUST 25th

The American Bankers Convention came to
close today after most interesting and in
structiVe sessions held for the past three days.
Various topics were discussed by distinguished
men from different parts of our great country.
Coming, AS they did, from all sections, and
representing all the varied industries and
pursuits of seventy millions of people, as
seen 10y bankers the interchange oil ideas, the
mutual acquaintance formed, and the work
lug together for common interest cannot fail
to promote progress and benefit the common
veal.
Ine roll call of the States WAS the occasion
for Responses setting forth the advantages,
resources and business conditions now pre-
valing in each State, and it was extremely
gratifying to hear, and with no exception,
that deposits have been increasing, earnings
greater, mortgages being paid off and gen
eral tide OF prosperity setting in than has been
perceptihe for years past.
ruis has been patriotic convention and
fine sentiments found expression in tributes
To the heroes of the war, aud pledges of loyalty
to the flag. Such examples as Robert Morris
who pledged his private fortune to aid the
government in time of need and banks which
had assisted in tunes of peril, were referred to
amid outburets of applause.
The delegates have been entertained royalty.

buffalo grass. 1t is about two inches long

the plains, as far as the eye can reach in every

Survivor of the Santiago Campaign
in Hartford.

Mr.. Robert Baker, q member ola New York
Volunteer regiment, is now visitor at the
home of Mr.. z. Il. Pomeroy, OF Abingdon.
He is on sick leave, having been fever stricken
and almost famshed while in front of Santi-
ago. He tells dreadful story of suffering
among the u. 5. troops, most of which was
due to gross mismanagement upon the part
OF the authorities. MIR. Baker told story
which was to this effect: When the boys
were landed in the evening they were with
out dinner, and were forced to the front that
night without supper, and fought for several
hours without food or rest. This treatment,
added to their being subjected without shelter
to the incessant rains, Shiny mud and miasma
OF the climate was greatly due TO the incom-
potency of those in command. With thous-
ands of tons Of food within reach of the battle
field, nobody seemed to have interest enough
in the welfare OF the soldiers, to send the
food to their camp. After the army had land
ed and the lighting had commenced there was
great lack of medicines and hospital stores
and great number of heroic men went to
their graves, whom attention and medicine
would have saved.
Mr.. Baker is vastly in need of care and
rest and 1t will take deal of nursing before
he becomes himself. His nervous system has
been seriously impaired. When be arrived at
Abingdon, number Of persons were on hand
to greet him, but when they caught sight Of
him they shruuk back in horror. He We. SO
attennated and feeble that he was unable to
alight from the carriage without assistance.
