Farmers Break the Buggy Monopoly

1t is claimed that for years buggy
manufacturers have secured exorbitant
prices for their goods, but recently,
through the combined assistance of the
farmers of Iowa, Illinois and other
states, SEARS, RoEBUcK 81 Co. of Chica-
90, have got the price of open bug
gies down to $1650; Top Buggies,
22.75 Top Surries, S4375 and upwards,
and they are shipping them in immense
numbers direct to farmers in every state
They send an immense Buggy Catalogue
free, postpaid, to any one who asks for
it. This certainly is big victory for
the famers. but a severe blow to the car
riaoe manufacturers and dealers. II

General Lawton's advance upon Ell
Caney was pioneer work from the very
3eginniug. 1t was his column which,
loaded by the rough riders began the
desperate inland fight around Seyilla.
With every step Of his march Lawton
moved farther and farther from the gun
boats, from his supports, from the base
If supplies and the heavy guns-march-
ID straight into the enemy's country
Ell Caney was the outpost Of the city
If Santiago farthest inland. 1t was a
strong position, covered with intrench-
ments and blockhouse, defenses upon
which the Spaniards depended to keep
the Americans at arms length. In front
# the town Of III Caney was a stone
tort against which the field artillery
shots ratified to no purpose. They could
not break through Spanish soldiers ran
lither and thither and seemed to be
LACED or else retreating, but whenever
l4awton's troops attempted to seize a
position they were there to defend it.
Cervera's ships threw shells into the
American ranks and into Capron' bat
terry, which was trying brayely to clear
he road for Lawton's men. Owing to
me smokeless powder used by the Span
ards it was impossible TO locate their
heaviest force and the Americans fell
uefore the fire Of an enemy they could
not see. Until Lawton cleared the
ground in front and established his lines

I'd by military men Sin the air''-that
Is, it had no place Of strength. a blow
might bring disaster upon it, and it was
another piece Of good fortune that the
Spaniards didn't strike. Had they made
use Of the opportunity the field was

deeds thus far celebrated in the war
against Spain have had "a picturesque,
not to say a theatrical, setting. That is
not the fault--if it is a fault--of the
doors. The public mind has been
ready since February last to immor-
talize every one who struck a blow to
avenge the Maine. It would not be diff
cult for q critical observer 10 name now
the few out Of the many thus far noted
who will live in history because of their
effective work, but il would be thank
less task for every man who has placed
himself under orders to fight against
Spain, whether he has fired shot or
not, is a pledge to the world that Amer
lean valor is not thing Of the past
And admiration for all will not be
lessened if few are chosen for special
notice because the fortunes of war plao-
ed them in position of unusual impor-
lance and difficulties. Beginning with
the landing of Colonel r. w. Hunting
ton S 600 marines on Cuban soil, there
have been three important stages of the
warfare where remarkable courage was
exhibited, and also boldness of plan and
tenacity of purpose which make the
successful warrior. Lawton's brilliant
stroke with the American advance

Spanish line and Skaters whole cam.

he had the city under his guns are
achievements which will live in history
and become models for military study.

attacking him by demanding the sur

bombardment a commandment he we'll

of boldness gave his troops a rest, gave
time for the supplies to be brought up

know what he would meet when left
alone on tho point Of Guantanamo bay.
True, the enemy's blookhouses at the
point had been demolished by gunboat
fire, but in fact there were 1000 or
3, 600 Spaniards within 10 miles of his
bivouac when the marines settled down
for the first night under the American
flag on Cuban soil These Spaniards
were well armed, Injured to tie climate,
thoroughly at home in the chapparal
and on the hills around the bay. They
could easily have surrounded the Amer
lean force or driven it to the water by
a night attack That they did not do SO
is perhaps due to the fact that it was
part Of their plan to allow the Ameri-
cans to land and get valuable quantity
of supplies ashore and then fall on
them. In fact, this danger, which is a
common one for such enterprises as that
at Santiago, has menaced the army all
the time,
All is well that ends well, but it
must be accounted an extraordinary
piece of luck that the Spaniards didn't
attack in heavy force. As it was, the
marine camp was attacked II times the
first night, and the vanguard of the
American army was harassed by guer-
rilla warfare until the country began to
wonder whether the heroes were to be
sacrificed without an attempt to succor
them. The brave fellows fought as grit
tily as though their lives were at stake.
1t was the flag which was at stake the
flag they had hoisted never to be lower
ed by Spanish fire.

Any one predisposed to Scrotula can
never be healthy and vigorous. This

Consumption. Being such adeep-seated
blood disease, Swift's Specific is the
only known cure for Scrofula, because
it is the only remedy which can reach
the disease.
scrofula appeared on the head Of my little
grandchild when only IS tbs old. Shortly
after breaking out it spread rapidly all over
her body. The scabs on the sores would peel
of on the slightest touch, and the odor that
would arise made the at NMm

sickening and unbearable. ESk&Ezsx2k1

then that we decided 10 try Swift's Specific.
