Louisville, KY, had a very severe attack
of summer complaint. Quite number
of different remedies were tried, but failed
to afford any relief. A friend who knew
what was needed procured him a bottle
OF Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and diar-
rhoea Remedy, which quickly cured him
and he thinks, saved his life. He says
that there has not been day since that

CAMP THOMAS, Ca, June 13, 1898.
Have been intending to write you
ever since Icame here, but something
always interfered with me doing it until
this evening. The Park is delightfully."-
cool to-day-for the first time since we
arrived. At noon it started to rain and
as the cooking is done outside we thought
it advisable to dine early. We had no
sooner lined up for mess than it began
to pour. but as it was better to have our
dinner half wet than soaked through, we
kept right in line while the stomach
robbers" dished out to us roast beef,
potatoes, coffee and bread. You could
hear the boys saying to one another,
"Now amt you glad you are soldier"
but rain and all the boys enjoyed it. All
the food was pretty wet and the inside
of our tents was but little better.
Well Doc, as said before it was cool,
but you have no idea of all that word
means for our boys in camp that have
come here from the northern states. The
temperature daily ranges from .95 to ITO
in the shade, for instance yesterday it
registered LOG at General Brooks head
quarters. just imagine being out to
drill for q couple of hours marching in
sand as hot as broiling sun can make
it. 1t was awful the first few days but
we don't notice 1t SO much now. The
supply of water is getting quite limited
and the few wells that are in the park
are all shallow and consist mainly of
surface water in little springs, from one
to six feet in depth. The authorities
are more concerned about this than they
care to admit and think of running pipes
from Craw6sh Springs, about five miles
away, but even that would not supply
$4,000 men very long. In our regiment
one of our springs have gone dry, but we
yet have one spring and we'll, SO are
much better off than most regiments
We are compelled to use the cups that
are kept at the spring and no one car

each man check on the commissary
department, where you can get every
thing you want while your stuff lasts.
These are issued every month so we will
get along better now.
They have just vaSoinated our regi-
ment and there will be some sore arms
for while. We are the last ones to get
it and have to take our medicine like the
rest. AS I said before we are camped
on the old battle field of Ch1ckamauga
and every day some of the boys are out
looking for relics and many af them find
valuable ones. One of the fellows from
New York found sword and scabbard
underground on which was a name
engraved taken to be Bradley. He sold
it for six dollars and the man buying it
claims he would not part with 1t for $500.
Another one found skull with bayo-
net broken off in it, but the finder of this
was wise enough to keep it. Many find
bayonets, cannon balls, grape shot and
rifle bullets. When they get more plen-
tyful I will send some home to the boys.
We have not yet received all our uni
forms although some companies are
thoroughly equipped. The suit consists
OF the regulation blue, the same as the
National Guards, except thet the pants
have the saddle Reinforcement. Then
we have another campaign suit made of
light brown jean goods, besides which
we have leggings that come up to the
knees made of the same material and the
campaign soft gray hat. Our 30 calibre
rifles and horse equipment are at the
quarter-master's department at Lytle and
we will get them this week. After that
time we will be ready for anything that
swims, fys or walks. It is reported
around camp to-day on good authority
that we will leave here for Manila by
way OF San Francisco in about ten days.
Do not know how true it may be, but it
is fact that the troops will leave here
soon both for Manila and Porto Rico
and will be among the first ordered out
as cavalry forces are scarce and mono
have yet started to Manilla.-A Lieuten-
ant told me to-day that he saw the order
Col. Gregory got from the department
ordering, lis to prepare to go to Manila.

YOUR TAXES.
What the State Administration
Has Done for Cavalier
County Farmers.

What has the republican adj
ministratior of this state done for
the farmers of Cavalier county ?
This is a question that every voter
should fully satisfy himself upon
before casting his ballot next Tues
day. Taxation is question which
every property holder understands
both practically and in theory and
what the republican administration
did last August through the hands
Of its State Board of Equalization
when it raised the assessment of
every Cavalier county taxpayer on
an average of AZ per cent, which
means where you paid 81 in taxes
last year you will have to pay STAT
this year, should prove an eye
opener to the fact that nov is the
time when change must be made
and men elected who will not open
ly favor corporate interests and
favor the oppression of the people.
The only way to get a reduction
in state and county taxes is to elect
men to Office who will see that
the assessments are lowered. Also
to elect men to the Legislature who
will vote to keep down all unneces-
sary appropriation bills. The state
equalization board which COM
prises the governor and the state
administration, raised the assess
ments throughout the state in an
unlocked for manner and for no
necessary reason. There were no
more new institutions to provide
for and no unusual expenses to
pay beyond the appropriations
made by the legislature. Nearly
every county in the state caught
it, Cavalier as we'll; and when the
farmers come to pay their taxes
next year they will understand the
matter better. The following in
crease was made by state board of
equalization over the assessments
of this county:

DEAR S1R:-In the issue OF the "Osna-
brock Cycle Of the 18th inst, noticed
an editorial, referring to the retention of
officials, that deserves some comment.
A casual observer will be duly impressed
with the fact that the prominent (?)
member ofhis Uranium has gone "cycling"
leaving him in sad need OF thc"old gag,
OF which hesDeaks.
He evidently fails to see that in attack
ing the old officials OF this county he
casts reflection on the intelligent voters
who know how to Appreciate good
officials and consequently re-eIcct them.
His reference to the Spanish war is in
applicable and too ridiculous for further
notice. ] would suggest, however, that
he change the word "royalty' to loyalty
Loyalty to such men as Il. J. Fox, H..

To the Editor OF the COURIER DEMOCRAT.
DEAR SIR:-As a member OF the house
OF representatives during the sessions of
1895 and 1897, | have had an opportun-
lty OF observing the conduct and policy
OF the Honorable Chas w. Plain, senator
from Cavalier county. and Honorable
James Debie, senator from Pembina
county. who We're members OF the legis-
lature during the two sessions referred
to. They We're found to be right on every
question brought under their consider
atiOu, and We're earnest and active in the
support OF all measures for the benefit
and best interests OF the people OF this
state, and We're invariably found to be
opposing with all their ability every
measure which to them seemed to be
against the interests OF the people. Ii
might be pardoned for Offering word Of
advice to the voters OF Cavalier county,
would strongly urge upon them the
necessity OF voting at the coming election
for Mr.. Plain and Mr.. Dobie. They have
had the experience in legislative matters
which is invaluable, and places them in a
position, combined with their unimpeach-
able integrity to render to the state and
to their county the best services. 1t was
the opinion freely expressed by members
OF the legislature regardless OF party that
these gentlemen We're among the ablest
most industrious and most capable men
in the legislature They are both men
who have the courage OF their convic-
tons. who are honest, intelligent, able
aud consistent, and it would be a crown
ing mistake if the people of Cavalier
county would refuse to rally to their
support and do everything possible to
roll up for them a magnificent majority,
and thus by their votes show that the
people Of Cavalier county at least recog-
nize and appreciate the excellent qualities
which these men possess and which are
so essential in men occupying the position
to which the democratic and independent
parties have nominated them A vote
against either OF these men, means q vote
against honesty, against ability, against
moral courage and besides means an en-
dorsement OF everything corrupt in the
republican party which they have so con-
stantly, presstently and courageously
opposed.
] am out Of public life, am seeking no
Office. am prompted to write this let
ter simply for the purpose OF furnishing
the testimony in their behalf as one who
has learned to know and appreciate
their high motives and worth, and it
shall be great qualification to me and
to the democratic and independent par
ties throughout the state to know after
The 9Th OF November, that the people OF
Cavalier county, have by their votes ap-
proved and endorsed their public record
