P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: 1--WE all had diar-a
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was case of
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition

of our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would have
been no way OF getting supplies to the.

The resolutions of the Stearns county
democratic convention last week spoke
of CharlesA. Towne as one of the ablest
advocates of democratic principles in
the nation" pledging to him their UNI
divided support as their candidate for
congress. Yet Mr.. Towne, who less
than four years ago was on the other
side, says he has not changed. Is it
not about time Mr.. Towne ceased the
vain attempt to prove that he has not
changed his political convictions? A
few bars to the tune of "Wise Men
change their minds, fools never" will
be more effective and more in line with
present day facts. Pine Poker.

The Morris s1eet,np.


The first political meeting OF the
campaign was that at the Grand
Opera House on Thursday evening
last, addressed by Hon. Page Norris.
our member of congress. The day
had been stormy and raw, and the
prospects were that the evening would
be lnclement, and there were but few
people in from the country, neverthe-
less ne had fine and appreciative
audience, which he held to closest AT
tention for more than two hours. The
band turned out and discoursed excel
lent music, as it always does.
In the absence of President HOGAN.
vice-President w. D. Townsend grace
fully introduced the speaker, who pro-
ceeded to deliver an able and logical
argument in behalf of the party which
ne represents, and a complete defence
OF its policies. He cited the platforms
OF the two parties as promulgated in
the national campaign of 1896, and
showed very clearly and conclusively
that every pledge had been kept and
every prophesy fulfilled. He showed
from facts and figures drawn from
official sources that the Dingley bill
enacted at Especial session of con-
gress convened for the purpose of
enacting tariff measure had COM
pletely vindicated itself both as a pro-
tective and a revenue measure.
He addressed himself to the silver
issue as res judicata-settled by the
people on appeal two years ago, WISE
ly and honestly. He deemed it unnec-
cessary to thresh over the old chaff,
and dismissed it, as has Chairman
Rosing of the democratic state COM
mlttee of Minnesota, the democratic
state conventions of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, and public
opinion generally. as not being the
chief issue of this campaign.
He reviewed the war policy of the
administration, the achievements of
our national arms, and discussed the
questions that press upon US by rea-
son of the war, and concluded that the
nation will doubtless be forced to deal
with Porto Rico, the Philippines and
the Ladrones as independent colonies
for an indefinite period.
He was interrupted by frequent ap-
plause, and from first TO last held the
close attention and sympathy of his
audience. At its close the speaker
was heartily cheered.
1t was a fine speech and a very ef-
fective exposition of the republican
policy in national affairs.

Smartweed which grows in album
dance all over the country, says the
Greene American, is an excellent de-
coction to rub on cattle or horses to
prevent flies annoying the animals.
Take bunch OF smartweed and bruise
it to cause the juice to exude and then
to rub the animal thoroughly with the
bunch of bruised weed. Neither flies
nor insects will trouble the animals
for twenty-four hours after this appli-
cation. Repeat the process daily and
your animals will be free from an
noying flies, and have q little comfort

slight omission, and will be read with

MANILA. Aug. 18th, 1898.
Dear Father: Hurrah for the boys
in blue! We came in with colors fly
ing. the 18th and 23rd regulars and
the 18th Minnesota volunteers, the
only volunteer regiment that was in
the fight. We knocked the tar out OF
the Spanish, and marched into Manila
with only about fifty men killed or
wounded. Only one man in our COM
pany was hit, and, he only got a
scratch on the cheek. You will get a
better description from the papers
than ] could give you. 1t was a hard
march, but the fighting was not very
hard We got up at four O'Clock Sat-
urday morning and got ready as
quickly as we could, and at 2:3O p. M
we were in town. We have had a hard
time of it, though, until now. All DAY
Saturday through the rain and mud,
and Saturday night we We're on guard
all night; then Sunday we marched
again in rain and mud for about two
! miles, and were put on guard again
for twenty-four hours. did not have
time to take off my shoes or wet cloth
ing from four o'clock Saturday morn
ing until Monday afternoon, and all
we had to eat was bareback and water.
We stopped Saturday and had a
boiler of coffee all ready to drink
when we were ordered on to the front,
and we had to leave the whole thing,
boiler and all, and rum
1t was very exciting, I tell you,
rushing along through the mud and
brush with the bullets singing around
our heads, but I did not feel bit
afraid. At one place we rested back
of a line of trees. with the Spaniards
shooting at us. and sat down and ate
my dinner of three hardtacks and
some water I scooped out of a mud
hole. The man right in front of where
1 was sitting was the one who was hit.
I picked up bullet that struck in the
mud beside me, and will show it to
you when get back.
We have pretty good quarters where
we are, but have nothing to eat. Last
night we got some green coffee and
roasted it ourselves, and to-day l
don't know whethe, we will gu that
much.
This is a great place. The natis es
are a dirty, filthy lot and go half
naked. Most of the children are naked:
They are not large or heavy and they
are nearly all troubled with skin
disease, and have sores all over them.
They come around selling cigars,
bananas, cocoanuts, ETC., but we have
TO pay about the same here as in St.
Paul. Bananas are ten cents a dozen
and cocoanuts five cents apiece.
buy good many bananas, as that is
about all l get to eat.
I have no idea when we will get
back, but now that everything is over
l AIN ready to go back as soon as they
will let me.

this trip will do me good, and I have
seen a great many things which l
never would have seen. Give my re-
CARDS to all the folks.

The Christmas Atmosphere.

Getting ready for Christmas makes
these weeks in December full of pleas
ant labors and anticipations. The ma
jority of people are not millionaires.
They do not have full purses with
which they can go to the shops and
buy their Christmas presents without
regard to cost. They have a little
money, and it requires a good deal of
planning, of invention and loving
thought, to make it go around. Often
times the money is only enough to
buy the raw materials from which
patient and skillful fingers will fash
ion the gifts. If we could look into
many home we should see the chill
dren planning some surprise on Christ
mas morning for fathers and mothers,
and the parents in turn consulting
how to manage to give the boys and
girls what they want. 1t is this mu-
tual thoughtfulness for others that
imparts to these December days pc
culiar atmosphere. 1t will soften the
heart of the crustiest old bachelor to
go into the Christmas shops and over
hear the consultations among pur-
chasers as to what they shall get. Even
as you walk along the streets you OBJ
serve a peculiar light in the eyes of
the women shoppers. They do not
have it at any other season of the
year, except perchance when they are
making ready for a wedding.-Boston
Watchman.
