July z, 1S98.-Thc days are still fine
and the night pleasant Even here in
the Land of Flowers we have to use a
blanket at night to keep comfortable,
as the salt breeze is all that one could
wish to make sleep sweet and refresh
ing. There are not as many mosoui-
toes here as there are ut Camp Thon-
az, and so far not one Of the much
dreaded sand flies has made its an
pearance since we came here. Po-
licing the camp here is very easy
job, and all the kitchen garbage is
hauled and dumped into the river,
where it is carried out to sea.
To-day is pay day. and every one is
looking forward to getting furloughs
and leaves of absence to have big
time and spend his money as soon az
possible and get the most fun out Of
it, as this war has SO far been one Biz
picnic, with sometimes real picnic din
ners and sometimes meals that are not
so "picnicky," but, all the same, the
boys are having good time ut Uncle
Sam 8 cxpense, and it really seems
that some of them are going to be sorry
when the time comes to break up and
go home.
The health Of the camp has never
been better since the regiment was Of
ganized.
We are going to be brigaded with an
Illinois and an Indiana regiment, which
are to come up from Miami. All three
of the regiments are to be camped on
the high sand pine ridge, where we are,
and We will be close together. The
brigade officers have not yet been ap-
pointed or organized. 1t is rumored
that COL Alston will be made briga.
dier general, and won't this be fine for
South Carolina! At the same time no
better selection could be made or q
more worthy a,an appointed to fill the
place.
The drill hours here are 80 short
that the boys regard the drill more as
play than work, and the camp work is
80 light that che men lie around in the
shade and play cards and other games
for amusement, more than anything
else.

- Our expenditures on account Of
the war during the month Of July were
about $50, 100000, the receipts on ac-
count of the new war taxes about S14,-
600, 1000. Thus the war may be said to
have added to tho deficit for the mouth
of July by about GIG, ,00O, 900. At such
arate the $500, ,000, 900 provided by the
bond sale would last for molo than q
year. In other words, war expendi-
lures are running at the rate Of $780,
900 600 gear and the neg yer taxes
are yielding st the rate of about $14,- :
100000 ilonth, or S168, 900, 600 a
year, so that the new taxes and the
5000, 900, 900 loan would appear to
premise together war fund for the
year of 1865, 900. 900, OF little more
than enough to meet the expenditures
of the war even if it should be contin-
ued for year, provided expenditures
did not exceed the rate they reached
for July. But to all intents and pur-
poses the war is over, and next month
will not improbably mark the begin.

How About Coming Home

The volunteer soldiers and their
friends are beginning to ask anxiously
when the volunteers Of the United
States are to be mustered out Of
service. It is generally thought
among the soldiers that they are to be
relieved as soon as the war shall have
terminated, but many are under the
impression that the volunteers enlisted
for two years. This latter arrange
ment would probably suit officers with
but it would hardly please the bigger
part OF the privates, who make up the
army. A private, speaking of the
matter yesterday, said:
President Mckinley certainly
stated when the call for volunteers
was made that the men who enlisted
would be mustered out as soon as the
war was over. I certainly think that
most of the volunteers entered the
army with the idea that their services
were not to be required after the
establishment of peace. If you talk
to the men you will find that quite
the common idea. We certainly did
not expect to be sent of to garrison
places for year or two after the war
ended"
In Georgia the soldiers are giving
much time speculating On the time
Iney will have to serve. Captain
Kohlson, in Savannah, is quoted as
follows in the Morning Ne,os Of yester-
day:
''There is nothing under the terms
of enlistment by which o man can
claim that he was to be discharged as
soon as the war came to an end. The
enlistment is absolutely Tor two years,
without reservation. If the war de-
partEent desires to use all the volun-
teeryforccs for the full term Of their
enlistment there is nothing IN the
enlistment to prevent it. OF course
there are many men who volunteered
who did 30 TO fight Spanish soldiers,
and not TO garrison places FOR year
or more after the war il at an end, ,
but they cannot claim exemption and
ask for discharges on that account.
We are in for two years, unless the
war department voluntarily sees fit to
dismiss US honorably from the service

or we die or become disabled in some

way.
Lieut.. Grayson expressed the same
views. 1T is not a question whether
a man likes to serve after the war is
ended or not, said he. II remember
the exact wording of the enlistment.
and there is no ground on which to
base kick against such service in a
time of peace if the Government sees
fit to so use the volunteers. While
there may be some misa pprehcnsion
on this point the volunteers are will.
ing to go and do whatever the Govern
ment calls on them to do. If peace
was declared tomorrow it is not the
impression among the officers and men
at Chickamauga that they will be soon
mustered out of service. We rather
expect that we will be at least held in
reserve to meet any emergencies which
may arise. While it is generally
feared that We will not get any oppor-
tunity to see active service in war in
Cuba, we would not be surprised if we
were used for garrison work on that
island or Porto Rico until ev :rything
becomes stable there. I dc not see
how anyone can question the right of
the Government to 80 use the volun-
teers under the enlistment"
There is some discussion of the
matter in the North, and the opinion
seems to be entertained there that the
volunteer forces will not be disbauded
for at least several months after Spain
accepts the ultimatum of this country
as to peace conditions. The feeling
there is that the standing army is to
be increased to 100000 men or more,
and that the war department will be
desirous Of getting all this extra
seventy odd thousand men and officers
out Of the present volunteers. In
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
it is believed it will require for some
months force probably equal to half
the entire volunteer force. e.-Ne,cs and

Cut Her Throat With O Butchers
Knife.

CENTRALIA, Mo-, Aug. 3.-Death
probably will ring down tho curtain
before morning in the final act of the
Havens tragedy. Cora Havens this
morning cut her throat with knife.
It is doubtful if she survives until
morning.
Hers is the third suicide. She is
the girl who, from extreme bashful-
ness, refused to marry her lover, G.
F. Fait, young farmer living near
her fathers home in Boone County.
They had been lovers since childhood,
but scarcely word passed between
them, as when she was near him her
tongue refused speech. He fiHally
proposed and she accepted MIN, but
when he begged her to name day for
the wedding, she put him off. Her
mother and father endeavored to pre-
vail upon her to name day, but she
steadily refused, stating that she was
afraid; that she dreaded marriage.
Finally she set July 5 as the date.
There was no sign of weakening on
her part until few days before the
ceremony. Then she told her mother
that she could not marry Fait, although
she acknowledged that she loved him.
AS the day of the wedding drew near
she grew nervous and was given to
fits OF violent weeping and repeatedly
begged her mother to allow her to
again posapone the date, but her
mother YVES obdurate.
On .he day for the wedding she told
heI mother that it would be impossible
for the ceremony to take place. The
wedding guests arrived and the groom
was present, when she fatty refused.
Coaxing and threats were equally in
vain, and. driven desperate by repeated
pos:ponsm5nts, young Fait went home
and swallowed morphine. When found
he was dead.
The suicide preyed on the mind of
the mother. She constantly reproach.
ed her daughter for her action. The
mother brooded over the subject night
and day, changing from q merry farm
wits into q morose and gloomy woman.
Her husband feared that her mind was
giving away, and 30 he watched her
carefully; but early on the morning Of
July IL she eluded his vigilance and
slipped from the house.
She was soon missed and the hus-
band and daughter began search for
her. She was found, lying face down,
in shallow pond in the garden. She
had waded into the water and then
laid down and deliberately drowned
herself. The suicide of the mother
brought the reproaches Of her father
and neighbors on the girl.
Gradually feeling that she was
responsible for the death of her lover
and mother came to her. She became
deapondent and was given to fits Of
zsSiialohhoiiia, seldom, speaking TO any
one, and becoming moro retiring than
ever. Her father endeavored to cheer
her. up, but the two tragedies had
broken him down and he was not
much comfort to the girl.
This morning the girl could bear it
no more. She was in the kitchen,
and, taking up butcher knife, with
the edge Of razor, she drew it across
her throat. It almost severed her
jugular vein. The blood spurted in a
river from the gaping wound and when
discovered she was unconscious, hav-
ing bled almost to death.

Admiral Cervera at Norfolk.

NORFOLK, VA, Aug. 5.-Admiral
Cervera and his son, Lieut.. Cervera,
arrived here this morning from Balti-
more. They left Annapolis, where
they have been prisoners Of war for
several weeks, on parole yesterday
afternoon, having been granted special
permission to visit Capt. Conoha,
commander Of the admiral's flagship
Maria Teresa, and the other Spanish
sick and wour ded ut the naval hospi-
tai here.
The steamer few her bunting in
honor of the Admiral anda launch
lay at the pier toreceive the distin-
guished prise uerf. Lieutenant Com
mander r. NJ. G.. Brown, retired, met
the admiral anG his son as they step
ped off the steamer, and it was with
difficulty that they pushed their way
through the crowd.
At the naval hospital the Spanish
Admiral was received by a guard of
honor and at once conducted to Capt.
Concha's room. This was the first
time they had met since the fatal dash
out of Santiago harbor.
The meeting was pathetic one, the
Admiral and Captain embracing one
another like children. The admiral
then visited Lieu. Novel, Of the
Pluton, who lost leg, Drs. Nicoli
of the Yizcaya, and the scenes were
equally affecting when their former
chief entered the ward where the
Spanish sailors are. Their faces lit
up and they embraced him as best
they could, their joy being plainly
visible. The Admiral took lunch
with Medical Director Clebourne.
Admiral Cervera and his son lunched
with Commodore Farquhar at the
navy, being taken there by Medical
Director Clebourne in his private CAR
siage. Col. William Lamb, Capt. w.
81. Murdaugh and Ex-Spanish Vice
Consul Humphreys called out and
paid their respects. The party re-
turned to the naval hospital and Capt.
Concha was again visited, the Admiral
and his son spending the remainder of
their time with him.
At parting with DR.. Clebourne the
Admiral paid him high compliment
on the courtesy, care and attention
given the Spanish officers and men.
At 5 o'clock Admiral and Lieut..
Cervera left for the Bay Line boat to
return to Annapolis. Several invita-
tions to visit nearby watering places
were extended, but was declined with
regrets. Both the Admiral and his
son were attired in civilian dreas. end
attracted little attention from those
unaware Of their presence in the city.

maker sailed her butter as she spread
her bread, that is, by guess, and q
little more or less IL not supposed to
make any difference. Not till We get
down to rules will we accomplish
much in this direction. Systems we
must have or the present unsatisfac-
tory conditions must continue. The
butter-maker has too long carried on
the work without weights and meas
ures. How can she tell how much salt
to put into the butter If she has no
scales by which to tell the weight OF
the butter and the weight of the salt
that should go into it? How shall she
tell the amount of coloring matter to
put in unless the quantities Of both is
known?
The farmer must get beyond the place
where he does not consider himself a
business man. He and his must get
down to figures. Weights and meas
ures are as necessary on the farm as
elsewhere. There is big room for re-
form, and the first to notice it will be
the corner grocer. When the uniform
butter begins to come in he will be
able to pay better price for 1t. be-
cause he will not be compelled to sell
1t for a trifie to some travelling agent
of some establishment that wants the
butter to work over into a poor grade
OF butter or for axle grease.
Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1898-08-05

The management of flock of sheen
at shearing time in these latter days of
progress is very different from that of
twenty-five or thirty years ago, says
Indiana Farmer. Then 1t was the gen.
eral practice to drive them to stream
OF running water or creek, sometimes
at a considerable distance from the
farm, after the spring weather had suf-
nclently warmed the water for the pur-
pose, and about ten days or two weeks
before it was designed to take of their
coats; In the intervening time, If the
weather was hot enough, the ''yolk,"
as the grease that exudes from the skin
and saturates the wool Is called, would
accumulate in large quantities, giving
keeping qualities and health to the
wool. The washing was done by men
who stood waist deep in the water, the
sheep floating helplessly under their
hands. If the job was we'll done an
immense mass of dirt and grease was
squeezed out of the wool and passed off
down the stream. The work was very
exposing to both the sheep and their
WASHERS, ana OIten serious colds and
lung troubles were contracted. The
Heeces retained large amount of wa
ter, and even in the warmest weather
1t was long time before normal tenn
perature of the body was restored. 1t
is good thing for everybody concern
ed and the sheep themselves, that the
custom has gone out of fashion, and
the plan is no longer popular or used
to any considerable extent, for besides
the dangers involved the process Of
washing the wool in this way rarely
accomplished the object intended. It
did not secure anything like uniform
cleanliness of the wool and it has been
observed that some feeces unwashed
were cleaner in the same flock than
others that had been so treated.
