THE ORDER IS ISSUED.
Colorado and Pennsylvania
Troops Included.
VIII Take Along Rations For
Six Months.

San Francisco, June Slate last
night orders were issued by Major Cen
eral Otis, commanding the Colorado
ana pennsylvania troops, now at Camp
Merritt, to go on board ships for the
Philippines next Tuesday. Rations for
six months are to be taken and 400
rounds Of ammunition will be supplied
each man.
The report from Washington that the
annexation Of Hawaii is about to be
consummated is given much credence
by the officers at Camp Merritt and
they are already figuring upon an order
to send troops to the islands to look
after Uncle Sans interests, and some
of the volunteers who fear that they
will not be sent to the Philippines are
counting upon being turned to Hawaii
as a place of second choice.
The Brutus, the collier recently
bought by the government will be
ready to go to sea tomorrow. Her al
terations have been completed and she
is now receiving stores. A spare pro-
peller for the Brutus and six spare
blades for the Monterey's twin screws
will be included in the freight. The
Monterey is taking coal on in sacks
and her magazine is well filed. She
ought to be ready by Saturday. The
Monadnock is expected shortly from
Puget Sound. It is the belief in naval
circles that the Monadnock will be
kept in Honolulu.
Four batteries of heavy artillery, now
stationed at the Preside, will go to
Manila with the next expedition and
their places at the Preside will be filled
by men from the ranks of the heavy
artillery volunteer force now in camp
at the Preside.
The present formation of brigades at
Camp Merritt is only temporary and
adopted for only distinctive purposes.
A reorganization will be effected when

the big cities, will have an opportunity
to buy on time, and thus become self
supporting.
Workmen will be sent out to the
place this week to get it in shape, and
within the next two or three days some
of the colonists will be settled.

Minnesota Farmer Rescued From Wolves
by Striking q Light In the Darkness.
A few matches saved Thomas Nc
Clary from being killed by wolves in
northern Minnesota a few days ago. He
had been across the fields on an errand
to a farm a mile or two distant, and on
his return was set upon by a pack Of 10
or 20 Of the big gray brutes. They ap-
preached intentionally close and began
to circle around McClary, who had moth
ing with which to repel their attack,
and for awhile it looked as if he must
give up the first time they closed in on
him. They ciroled closer and closer
about him, and in sheer desperation he
struck a match which he found in one
Of his pockets.
1t acted like magic. Being quite dark,
the slight blaze was sufficient to make
considerable Of a showing, and the re-
suit was that the brutes were frightened
some distance away. They followed
along the road, however, and before Nc
Clary had gone a quarter Of a mile they
were again circling about their hoped
for victim and came close enough to
snap at his heels. Again the matches
were resorted to, and again the ravenous
pack was frightened away temporarily.
This was continued until MoClary
reached a house, where he secured aid
and the brutes were frightened away for
good. MI. MoClary's small stock of
matches was entirely exhausted when
he reached the house.-Exchange.

SiLENCING A SONG.

Legislation Against "a Hot Time In the

The town council of Mankato, Kan,
intends to stop by ordinance the sing
ing, humming or whistling of the song
"a Hot Time In the Old Town To-
night" At Topeka's fall festival this
song was adopted by the Karnival
knights, and the thousands who visited
Topeka went home singing, whistling
or humming it until one-half the Kan
sas population have Joined in the chorus,
and in the towns it has become an in
tolerable nuisance.
In 1894 the town council Of Mankato
squelched the whistling and singing Of
"After the Ball." 1t passed an ordi-
nance" under the nuisance law fining
each and every person 80 cents for each
and every time he or she might be
proved guilty Of whistling or singing
AFTER the Ball. between the hours Of
6 O'Clock in the morning and 10 o'clock
at night. The "Hot Time" song, the

College Athletics,

A distinguished writer In a pamphlet
published by the Intercollegiate Athletic
Association, says that an immense i'm
provement in the moral and physica
status of college graduates has taken
place since the Introduction OF athletic
games in college. There is no reason
why s'brain and Drawn should be an
tagonistic. In support of this last
proposition the action of that genial
invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which in strengthening the body
increases mental activity, may be
authoritatively cited. This famous
medicine overcomes the dyspepsia
peculiar to persons of %sedentary,
inactive habits, and yields sound refresh
ing sleep. 1t also remedies liver
complaint, constipation, malaria, rheu-
matism. and kidney trouble.
