One of the volunteer companies recently
at Camp Alger possesses a beautiful new
flag, which was made and presented bv a

DOMESTIC OLIVE OIL.
The Demand for 1t Is Steadily In
crCHsing-VOlunble as a
Medicine.

There is a general growing demand
in all the markets of our country for
the California picked olive. The Cali.
fornia olive grower is able to compete
with the foreign market in this direc.
ton, as the picked olives admit of no
adulteration; consequently each
stands on its own merits.
The superiority of the California
olive has called attention to the Cali
fornia olive oil, which is as good as
the pickleG olive. Here the COMPETE
ton is difficult as the foreign oils are
nearly all a6ulterated. Were they
brought here pure they could not be
sold at the price the California oil can
be made for.
There is reason to believe that the
government will do something for the
protection of its home olive growers
similar to that which it has done for
the prune, raisin and orange growers.
There are at the present time $500, 900
olive trees in California, and about
three-fourths of these are in southern
California. 1t is said that the latter
place can grow enough olive trees to
make all the olive oil and picked
olives that this country can consume.
The California raisins, prunes and
oranges had to fight for their recog,
milton in the United States, and even
though the superiority of these was
admitted the government had to lend
some aid.
The pure olive oil is an excellent rem.
edy for stomach troubles, and is also
prescribed by doctors for all diseases
Of the nerves. A tablespoonful taken
every night has been known to effect
speedy cure in cases of chronic indi.
gestion. The first taste may not prove
agreeable, but after a few doses one
learns to like tn. Y. Tribune.

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter of importance
in every woman's life, Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TBUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your adj
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. l
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
Inever had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that 1 never
had anything do me so much good for
painfulmenstruation as Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me Of leucorrh9a. / hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinllham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia f. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely toMrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

AGAIN THE REBEL YELL.
This Time the Boys In Blue Respond
to as Wen as the Boys Who
Wore the Gray.

The American army has adopted the
rebel yell.
The famous war cry of the confeder-
acy is alive to-day, but it is the boys
in blue who unlimber their vocal
chords and screech like a lot OF old
"rebs" as they dash to the charge
The men of Massachusetts, yell just
as Justify as the men south of the Ma
sen and Dixon line. In fact, the north
ern troops, and particularly those
from New York, seem to place great
confidence in the horrible screech'
The roar and rousing cheer which en-
couraged the boys of G1 who were bat
Ting for the preservation Of the union
seems to live in memory only.
1t has been succeeded by the blood,
curdling yell which the wearers OF
the ragged jacket" made heard far
above the howl of the shell, the roar OF
the cannon or the bark of the musket'
In 9S the old rebel yell is heard again
1t is not generally known that yell
ing when the charge is on is prescribed
in the army regulations.
when from 30 to 80 yards from the
enemy emit a YELL" saith the drill
book, and the yell that fills the air
is the plain, old-fashioned rebel ~
Yo-Yo-Wo-Wo!" The New Workers
turn loose fearful yell when they
charge, and the Fifth regiment OF
Maryland let's go an even more dan
gerous howl. The sound is nothing OF
the nature of a cheer. 1t is a wild, un-
earthly cross between a screech and
yell, that is calculated not only to
strike terror to the enemy but to en-
courage our own boys. The yell is sup
posed to put the finishing touches to
the enemy. The Americans in their
charge, having covered all but about
70 yards of the distance until the Span
iards are reached, dash forward from
d double-quicl1 to a mad rush, yelling
wildly, for the triple purpose of en-
couraging each other and confusing
and terrorizing the enemy.
There is not a question of doubt thai
the battle cry of the American army
is the "rebel yell" of old, and its adop
ton by the boys in blue is great com
pliment to the men who set it to music
of bullets 81 years ago.
The Fifth took to the yell most nat
urally. There are men in the com
mand who sang in the choir of 81
and who are delighted to hear the re
viyal of the old but never-to- be-for
gotten melody"
Capt. Lee Goldsborough, of compan!

every skirmish drill scores of mcnma,

against an imaginary foe, yelling Xix

very effective against the Spaniards

CORN is SCARCE.
Ed Howe Explains Why There Will
Be No Carnival

Atchison Globe: 1t is now certain
that there will be no Corn Carnival in
Atchison this year. The position that
there should be no carnival this year
was taken some time ago by the men
who were most active in the manage
ment of past events of the same char
acter Their reasons were logical In
the first place, the corn crop in this i'm
mediate vicinity is not what it has been
in the past years, owing to the excess
siVe and continuous rainfall during the
latter part of May and during June,
which prevented planting. The Corn
Carnival being a celebration of the
bountiful corn crop, and the crop not
being especially bountiful, the principal
motive was removed, and enthusiasm
was sadly lacking.
This lack of enthusiasm, together
with the strong opposition afforded by
the Omaha exposition, caused feeling
among business men that unless a car
n1Val could be made an entire success
this year, that it would be better to
wait until next fall, concentrate the eff
forts of two years in one, and give a
begger carnival than ever. There were
few who chung to the idea that there
should be a carnival this fall. They
claimed that the corn crop this year is
a. fairly good one, and that the carnival,
even at this late day, could be made
success. A meeting was called at Tur-
ner hall last night, but the attendance
was so slim that the idea was given up.
About thirty people visited the hall at
different times, but at no one time were
there more than a dozen present. It
is said that the decision will disappoint
a lot of people who had decided to come
to AtchisOn next month, but they will
certainly agree that they are treated
fairly in being frankly told that there
was doubt about the success of a carni-
val this year, and that it was put off to
preserve Atchison's reputation for hos
pitality and entertainment. The car
nival next year will be the biggest ever
held. Let the people who are disap-
pointed because there is to be no carni-
val come to the Buffalo Bill Wild West
/ show on September 20, and if they must
throw a little corn, there will be no OBJ
iectiOn-
