They also have -four for sale made

out" from wheat ground on these
rollers is wonderful. We know of
one man who carried two bushels
of wheat to this mill and carried
home eighty-two pounds Of flour;
he called it the "Jim Dandiest
flour on top of this world" He
says he had just made some syrup
from the Golden Amber cane, and
as soon as he got his flour home
his wife baked some biscuits, and
he and she and the children went
to sopping and, says he, I couldn't

ABANDONING CAMP ALGER.
The Sixty-Fifth New York Regiment
Leaves for Buffalo Today.

Camp Alger, Sept 3.-There was one
death recorded at the division hospital
here today and about thirty new cases
were received from the remaining three
regiments in camp. At headquarters it
is stated that all regiments win have eft
camp by Wednesday, the SiXty-fifth New
York leaving tomorrow. and the Third
Virginia and the First Connecticut fol-
lowing in the order named. The de-
parture of the First New Jersey for Sea
Girt has left the camp almost deserted,
and the division hospital is now the most
imposing array of tents on the grounds.
The stores and effects of the regiments
now at camp will be turned in. and the
boys are willing workers at packing up
with the prospects of getting home soon.
The Sixty-fifth New York will be sent
to Buffalo tomorrow afternoon to be mus
tered out. The regimental rolls and rec
ords are complete and perfect. All of the
Government field and garrison equipment
has been turned over, and the first medi-
cal test has been given to the officers and
men. Arrangements for the transporta-
tion of the regiment have been made by
Major Guy F. Howard, the chief quarter
master of the Second Army Corps.
There will be need of another hospital
train TO remove the sick of the Sixty-fifth
to Buffalo, and it is expected that it will
leave at the same time as the regiment.
Since the departure of the last hospital
train OF this regiment, Monday last, over
thirty patients have been sent to the
division hospital. and a few short of fifty
will be able 10 leave on the hospital train
tomorrow. some of them convalescents
from the hospital at Fort Myer
All those not able to be moved viii be
made as comfortable as possible at the
division hospital and moved as quickly
as 1t is safe TO the Fort Myer hospital
1t is the desire of the surgeons in
charge and the War Department to abol-
ish the division hospital at the earliest
possible moment and the sooner IL is for
gotten the better they will be pleased.
Gen. Goblin has left to take charge of
his brigade at Camp Meade, and Gen.
Plume is now in command Division
headquarters Will remain until the last
man and the last bit of supplies have
been moved or turned over to other
hands.

HER SOLDIER HERO DEAD.
Corporal Leonhard Succumbs to
Fever.

Paterson. y. ], Sept. "a soldier 8
daughter and soldiers widow. Mrs. Err
nest Rudolph Eeonhard. of Paterson, n.
j., has experienced in short time both
the romance and the tragedy of war. Yes
terday Mrs Leonhard was preparing TO
go to Jacksonville. having received word
that her husband, a corporal in Company
A, Second New Jersey Volunteers, was
seriously i'll there. when a second dis
patch arrived stating that Corp. Leon
hard had succumbed to the fever and had
died.
Adjoining the Leonhard estate at Hale
don is that of William Hudson, who was
a captain in the civil war and was seri-
ously wounded. There Miss Harriet Au-
gusta Hudson, now twenty-five years old,
has for years lived with her aunt. Miss
Hudson and young Leonhard were sweet
hearts from childhood. and they would
have been married long ago but for the
opposition of the young lady's aunt. This
was so serious that for a time it seemed
to preclude the possibility of their union,
and it might have done so but for Leon
hard's determination to enlist when troops
were called for.
He was with Company A at Sea Girt,
expecting TO start for the South next day,
when Miss Hudson visited the camp,
Fearing that her soldier boy might never
come back from the front. she had deter
mined TO cast all objections aside and
crafty his wish that they be married
Her pastor, the Rev. Cornelius living.
accompanied her TO the camp, having long
sympa thiZed with the young people, and
at Manasquan, near the camp, the young
people were welded Leonhard went
South with his regiment, while his wife
returned to her home at Haledon. The
young man was a good soldier. and was
soon made a corporal.
He went to the front little more than
two months ago, and as peace drew nigh
the hopes of the young pair grew high.
Leonhard had not been shot by the Span
iards, as they had feared, and the pros
poets for a speedy reunion seemed bright
But neither had reckoned with the dis
eases that were to sweep through the
army camps. Word came few days ago
that Leonhard had fallen victim to ty-
phoid fever, and that his chances of life
were small. Then came the final message
The body of Leonhard will be taken to
Paterson at once for burial, and will re-
ceiye military honorS

The Weather Bureau promises thunder

There is a possibility that the relief
promised may be deferred until tomor-

The present hot spell, while not rec
ord-breaber in point Of temperature, has
been of unprecedented duration In Sep

the record in Washington, reaching lOi
degrees. 100 in New York, and 102 in Bos-

suffering. but the hot spell did not last
long.
Taken as a whole however, the past

it exceeded 100 degrees Yesterday The

BRUIN RoAMS AT LARGE.
Crowd Gathers To Capture Him, But
Lacks the Courage.

Trenton, N. j., Sept 3.-Residents Of
West State Street and Cadwalader place,
the swell section of the city, are much
concerned over the appearance of large
black bear in the neighborhool of Cad
walader Park. Chief of Park Police Ben
jamin Sholes and a posse of fifty citizens
have been quietly searching since Mon
day evening for the bear. The men are
all armed, some with guns, knives, and
other weapons, but so far their search
has been In vain. When bruin made his
first appearance on Monday he was seen
by half dozen people and every night
since he has been seen in the same To-
cality. Although the bear is said to be as
large as q full-grown man, he has not
made an attack on any one.
Johnnie Feehan and Willie Hutton, two
small boys Thursday saw the animal go
into a barn and, mistaking it for a
dog, started to go into the barn, when an
older brother of one of the boys stopped
them. When the word was passed around
that the bear was in the barn a crowd
gathered from a nearby baseball field,
but no one had the courage to go into
the barn. While the crowd stood talking
the bear quietly went out by back door
and he has since managed to keep out Of
the way.
