Major Dodge Ordered to Columbus
TO Conduct Examinations for
MASTERING Out,

Arrangements are being made for
the mastering out of the service of
the Ohio soldiers. .-
Inc first of the work will be done
Oct. II when the boys of the artillery
arm of the service will be mustered
out. They will be followed by the
other regiments who are home from
the front in the order they arrived
from the South.
Preparations for the ceremony were
made as far as the general government
Is concerned in an order that reached
the office of the adjutant general on
Monday. Major John P. Dodge, bri-
gade surgeon of the United States vol
unteers in service at Montauk Point,
is ordered to report to Major S. Rob-
erts of the Seventh United States In
fantry, acting mastering officer for the
Ohio volunteers, to conduct the medi-
cal examination preliminary to must
ering the men out of service.
1t is said that the medical eyamin-
alton this time will be as strict as that
by which the men were taken into the
service. If they have been wounded
in the service their discharge checks
will show when and how. This is for
future reference, evidently.-Ohio

CreeIman Thanks Logan For Having
Saved His Life,

Youngstown, O., Oct 10.-James
Creelman, the newspaper man, made
famous by his brilliant work in the
China-Japanese and Spanish Ameri-
can wars, besides much fine writing as
special correspondent, owes his life
to Major John A,; Logan, of this city.
The newspaper man had made the
charge up Ell Caney hill with the
United States troops and had been
badly wounded eby a Spanish bullet
and might have perished had it not
been for the, brave, prompt and
thoughtful action of Major Logan.
Mr. Creelman.has written the follow
ing Letter to Major Logan:
Temple Chambers, London, Sept 10.
My Dear Logan-Many thanks for
your kind letter. l have been travel
ing and did not receive it until just
now. The bones of my arm have
united and my wound has closed up,
although l am still in the hands of my
surgeon, who is trying, with the daily
AID OF masseur, to give me the use of
my arm and shoulder again. ] had
faint, dream-like impression that it
was you who had me carried out of
tie fort at Ell Caney when the Mauser
bullets were knocking plaster and bits
OF stone into my face as l lay in the
hammock. But l was not sure. The
shock of the wound was so great that
my head was in a whirl, and although
remember being put on a door and
passed out OF the breech in the wall,
feet first, was confused as to who or
dered it. You deserve great credit for
your courage in entering the fort at
that time, and it is surprising that you
were not shot down in the place where
you found me, for the Spaniards at
that time were firing volleys from the
village against the loopholes 1t was
one of those bullets that ended my
work there. | remember clear
strong voice ordering the soldiers to
take me out of the hammock and now
l remember very clearly your hearty
handshake.
Let me thank you in my own name
and in the name of my wife and
children for the service you did You
are a worthy son of your illustrious
father whom ! knew very well. With
out wishing to do any injustice to 9TH
ers, | must say frankly that you are
the only staff officer l saw on the act
ual fighting line at the battle of San
tiago. JAMES CREELMAN."

RooseveIt's Political Greed.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor of
New York, has new political creed.
He was rendered a reception by the
Union League club the other night
and after shaking hands with 10000
New Workers, had to respond to calls
for a speech. He said in part: Il
never say anything on the stump that
/ do not say off the stump, and will
not try to. l appreciate to the fullest
degree the responsibilities that will
rest upon me should you, the people
of this great Empire state, entrust to
me the duties of Chief Executive.
Il will serve with all my might so
far as l can see my duty to do it for
the whole people. / shall feel that
can best serve my party by helping
that party serve the State. There is
one thing-one test-on which / shall
insist if elected, and that is rigid hon
esty. l feel that the two great prob
lens for this great nation nowadays
are first to uphold the national honor
abroad, and second, and even more
important, insist upon the highest
standard of honesty at home. AS for
the course l shall pursue, it will be
modelled upon those rules of conduct
which you will find in the ten COM
mandments and the golden rule.
Loyal though shall be to the prin-
ciples for which stand, the party |
principles, there are one or two rules
of conduct that stand above party |
principles, and they are included in
the commandment, Thou shalt not
steal, and further nor shalt thou let
any one else steal if thou can help it."

Queen Victoria's Peril.

Queen Victoria's carriage accident
the other day may be regarded as an
indirect result of the Anarchist scare
that has followed the assassination Of
the Empress of Austria. The rela-
lively large number of attempts that
have been made upon the life Of the
Queen during her long reign (there
have been about dozen of them in
alb have had the effect of causing Her
Majesty always to be driven at an al
together remarkable rate of speed
when she is in her own dominions. In
fact, her horses are invariably driven
at such full speed that even when at
Balmoral she goes for three hour
drive she has to have a relay Of fresh
nags waiting for her at some point or
another, while the mounted equerries
who ride at the carriage wheel and the
outrider who rides ahead OF the equip
age are kept at sharp canter the
whole time.
This rate Of speed has already led to
several accidents, two of which have
taken place at Balmoral. One of them
a slight one, which seriously fright
ened the Queen, took place last year
while some fifteen or twenty years ago
the royal carriage was entirely over
turned about two miles from Alt-Na-
Guithasach, Her Majesty being much
hurt, her face severly cut and bruised,
and her right hand and thumb badly
injured.
John Brown, her Highland gillie,
who was with her, likewise sustained
SO severe sprain that he lost his tenn
per, and soundly rated the Queen for
insisting on having her carriage driv-
en- at such reckless, life-endangering

Oil Notes.
YE STER DAYS MARKET.

John S. Dunn, of Dexter City, got a
nice well at Dudley, up the. c. & M,
Monday. 1t showed up at about rs
barrels per diem at s,.,-
The Ranger well No. at the head
Of Vienna Islanu, is expected in Fri
day. OF course the outcome OF the
venture will be watched with no little
interest
A we'll is -.-.ling on the Bert Hen
derson. farm, and is one-quarter Of a
mile east Of any development in the
Henderson field. In the first sand oil
appeared and the well began to fill up.
1t shows for good producer.
A well on the Chas.' Uhl farm in
the henderson field, drilled by Mr..
Uhl, came in dry in the top sand, and
the hole was drilled to the Keever
sand, where was realized dandy gas
ser, big enough to supply the whole
Henderson oil field with fuel.
