SETTLE DOWN Fer THE SUMMER.

Talk Of Transferring Troops at Chicka-
manga Is About at An End.
CH1CKAMAUGA, June s.-The usual
hard drills and maneuvers are employ
ing the various regiments of Cen
eral Brooke's big volunteer army today
The temperature continues high, but
it is again relieved somewhat by
steady breeze. What the whole army is
now praying for is heavy downpour
of rain. The dust is increasing daily
and unless rain soon abates it it will be.
come an almost unbearable nuisance.
A movement is now on foot to have
President Mckinley and such of his
cabinet officers as can accompany him,
inspect the park army on the Fourth of
July. A formal invitation will be ex-
tended and the president will be urged
to accept.
The Letter hospital will probably be
opened tomorrow. All the most serious
cases will at once be transferred to it.
The place is an ideal one and the army
patients will enjoy every comfort in it.
A large number Of volunteers are still
suffering with sore arms on account of
the vaccination.
The First Ohio cavalry has been Or
dered to discontinue preparation for its
departure. 1t has been understood for
several days that this regiment would
move as soon as it could get in readi-
ness. The reason for the change in
orders is not apparent. A number of
regiments are scheduled to arrive dur
ing the next few days. The First Ken
lucky is due tonight. The talk of
transferring the army, or any part Of
it, is about at an end, and the men are
settling down for the summer
Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. TO be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when u favorite opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage of
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out 25c, the other is out humid
red dollars and then wonders why his
neighbor is getting richer while he is
getting poorer. For sale by C. w. Hous-

CARRANZA MUST MOVE
Ambassador Hay Protests Against Spy
Operations In Canada.
SPANISH SPIES IN THE ARMY
Startling Discovery Is Said to Have Been
Made by the War Department-Direc-
ted to Secure Entry Into Signal
Corps and Artillery Branch.
SPANISH SPIES IN THE ARMY

LONDON, June 6.-The United States
ambassador, Colonel John Hay, called
at the foreign office today and pre-
sented evidence of Spanish officials max
ing Canada the base of spy operations
and protested against the continuance
of this practice. The protest is based
on the fact that it would be breach of
neutrality for Great Britain to permit
her territory to be used for such hostile
purposes. Colonel Hay also recently
drew attention of the foreign Office to
small expectations from Great Britain
of war munitions for Spain.
New YORK, June 6.-The Journals
Washington correspondent says: "The
Spanish spy system established in this
country by Polo and Carranza was
thought to be efficient, but the discov-
cry made by the war department re-
Gently indicates that the ramiications
of the system are Of a character hardly
conceivable. Positive proof has been OBJ
tanned showing that Polo and Carranza
have many agents enlisted in the Unit.
ed States army. These agents are paid
by the Spaniards sums ranging from
derstanding that every aid and assist
ance was to be given to the Spanish
cause.
''The exact number of Spanish who
have thus enlisted can only be guessed
at, although the identity of many is
known. The presumption is that sew
eral thousand at least are in our army.
"The discovery that men, presumably
enlisting in the spirit of patriotism,
were actually inspired by the reward
given by Polo and Carranza was made,
it seems, by accident comparatively
short time ago. Since then the efficient
secret service system of the war de-
partment was put to work for the pur-
pose of ascertaining to what extent the
traitors had secured a foothold in the
army. New cases were developed day
by day.. and it is no exaggeration to say
that the war department was amazed
with the size of the spy corps that Spain
had cleverly established In the military
force Of the nation. In many cases the
department., while morally convinced,
does not have legal proof. AS soon as
it is forthcoming in each individual
case the miscreant will be seized, IN
carcerated and courtmartialed. The
penalty is death by hanging. From
the developments it would appear that
the agents of Spain were directed to,
if possible, secure entry into the signal
corps and the artillery branch of the
service. The reason for this ia OBJ
vious." --

In Days Like These.

GOD Of hosts, whose mighty hand
Our fathers led across the seas,
We took from thee our goodly landl
To thee we look in days like these,
Mid swelling tumult, bitter word
Mid clashing arms and bugles' blare,
While war drums fret the fevered air
In days like these be near, o Lord!
The winds have swept our colors out
Our polished guns the sun has kissed.
With measured step and loyal shout
The men trooped by who now are missed.
The hilltop signal far away,
And sea calls sea with beacon lips,
Where ride our far flung battleships
To strike the foe at break of day.
Forgive, O Lord, that we forgot
To humble self and thee to please!
Our vows unkept, sins thought, unthought,
Forgive, o Lord, in days like these
Our gift upon the altar lies.
Accept it ere thou call us hence,
Although thou saidst obedience,
Is better than sacrifice.
'Tis not for gain or vengeful spite
Our treasure and Cur lie are poured,
But for the wronged who have no might,
Whose cry has reached the ear Of God.
In days like these our motives take,
Since whom thou usest thou must trust
And when we smite because we must
Help VI to heal the wounds we make.

Dwariing Fro:s Ha. ,n Environment.

In Limousin there is a barren range
Of low hills which lies along the divid-
ing line bat%;ein the departments Of
Dordogne, Correze and Haute-Vienne,
about half way between Perigueux and
Limoges. The water courses slow the
location of these uplands They extend
over an area about miles long and
half as wide, wherein average human
misery is most profound. Dense igno-
rance prevails. T:.cTc is more illiteracy
than in any other part ct France. The
contrast in stature, even with the low
average Of all the surrounding region,
is clearly marked by the dark tint
There are sporadic bits of equal diminu-
tiveness elsewhere to the south and
west, but none is SO extended or so ex-
IRENE. Two-thirds of the men are be-
low feet inches in height in some of
Che communes, and the-women are three
or more inches shorter even than this.
One man in ten is below 4 feet II inches
in stature.
This is not due to race, for several
racial types are equally stunted in this
way within the same area. It is pri-
marily due to generations of subsection
to harsh climate, to soil which is
worthless for agriculture, to steady
diet OF boiled chestnuts and stagnant
water and to insanitary dwellings in
the deep, narrow and damp valleys.
Still further proof may be found to
show that these people are not stunted
by any hereditary influence, for it has
been shown that children born here,
but who migrate and grow up else
where, are normal in height, while
those born elsewhere, but who are SUBJ
ject to this environment during the
growing period of youth, are proper
tionately dwarfed. Popular Science

Ginning the partnership, she suggested he

participation in "such q Herodlike

that he should impress on Peel, then

CINE could be thawed out and got to

soon playing on the fire and the effect
was all that could be expected. The
branch was run up stairs to the attic
where the fire originated, and in ten min

this time a large number were busy car.

that the fire started in the south west

a mystery. If the wind had been blow
