give your readers the benefit of this
statement and relieve me from this
embarrassment. Yours respectfully,
J. H. HESS.
(There is certainly some error in
connection with this whole matter,
which the Register is at present unable
to explain. 1t is self-evident that Rev.
Mr.. Hess, Presiding Elder of the Buck
harmon district. is not the gentleman
transferred to New York, and the Reg
lister greatly regrets that his name
should have figured in the telegram.
The correspondent, who sent the news
to the Register is man of years and
experience, who has always proven re-
liable, and the Register is unwilling
to believe he has purposely misstated
the facts. However, he has been surely
upon, or there is some con-
flict of names. The Register takes
pleasure in setting Rev Mr.. Hess right
before the people.)

Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Gentlemen-If anybody in the whole

chance to observe the general weak
ened condition of the men when they
started back to the United States. as
compared with their stalwart condition
when they sailed from San Antonio on
June 8, l think l had
Oklahoma is generally regarded as a.
healthy climate, and last May, when I
left there, l hardly knew what sick
ness meant. Earlier in life however,
| had lived in the East, and after a
month in service knew that what 7
needed, in my general rundown con-
dltlon, was a nerve tonic. | knew if
NY nerves were fixed up there would
be no trouble about my general health
as soon as [ got away from the army.
[ also knew the position that Paine's
celery compound occupied, although I
had not had occasion to use it much
myself. [ got a few bottles of it and
peSaH U TAKE IL ana give IL 10 rev
of my acquaintance.
1t actually seemed to build up my
nervous constitution almost as RAPIDLY
as the Southern climate had torn it
down. The sar~le thing was true of
the other men | gave it to-.
Unless l had found this tonic to re-
store my nerves I feel sure that /
would have gone to the hospital at
Montauk Point and l might have
shared the fate of many other poor fell
lows whose impoverished condition did
not yield to the doctors treatment
1t gives me pleasure to recommend
Paine's celery compound as the best
remedy ever sold in America.

Gentlemen-I might have broken

Spaniards kept us busy, when we were

ready for the big fight That I was a

at Las Quasimas and at San Juan Hill
Will be things TO talk about for MANY

the Cuban climate and the mud in the
