The canteen has done an awful
business. Yesterdays sale was $2O8
and the day before $311. The Captain
says we ought to have 5000 per COM
pany this month out OF canteen
money. However. many will be glad
to learn that the regiment canteen
was closed July 10 until further notice
by order OF Major J. D.. Glennin, bri.
gade surgeon, on the ground that the
drinking OF beer was adding to the
sickness of the regiment. The SUR
geons warn the men against the use
of alcoholic liquors in q hot climate.
Under date OF July 19, Chaplain

Capt. r. B. Wood, g, who has been
with him night and day for three
days, arrived in camp yesterday, stat
ing that his physician declared the
majors condition to be critical, with

can be done for the Major Is being
done. Neither the regiment nor his
country can spare such an efficient

FACTS FROM FOREIGN LANDS

Extracts From Reports Recently Made
by Various United States Consuls.
The colony OF Guadalupe has ex-
tended the privilege of minimum tar
if" to all products imported from the
United States. Louis H. Ayme, the con-
sui, says that the island is capable Of
producing great riches, and large
amounts of American capital could be
invested profitably in coffee, cocoa and
timber.
The fact that Canada sends So per
cent of the cheese imported by Great
Britain, while the United States sends
only "a per cent, is explained by the
thorough organization of the Canadian
dairymen, who are united in an en-
deavor to produce uniformly high
grade, suited to the demands of the
English market. In the province of
Ontario alone there are Is associations
of cheesemakers, representing 1906
factories, with an annual output Of
100, 000,0 pounds.
Four cases of piracy have been re-
ported near Maracaibo, Venezuela.
The latest victim was the German bark
Hedwig. The pirates are Indians and
half-breeds, and the United States con-
sui says that all merchant sailing yes.
sells in those waters should carry fire.
arms. Vessels carrying arms must
manifest them before the Venezuelan
consul at the port Of departure. as they
will be declared contraband otherwise,
and the owners will be subjected to a
heavy fine.
In the past year American manufac-
turers have invaded Switzerland with
articles of 20 kinds. They run from
logs to ice cream freezers and from
| agricultural machinery to corncob pipes.
Illinois has sent railroad iron, street,
sweeping machines and provisions.
Michigan has sent roller-top desks and
office furniture, presumably from the
works at Grand Rapids. Wisconsin
has sent mems and women's shoes and
provisions. Indiana has sent agricul-
tural implements, wagons and carriages.
Missouri furnished the pipes, and Ore
gon lumber and apples. There are 81, :
1877 commercial travellers in switzer-
land, of whom more than 5000 repre-
sent foreign dealers, but there is not
one from the United States. The Unit

German and French, would be of ines

ties. In the senate the fusionists had
10 hold over senators, Democrats and
10 Populists. They elect three, one
Democrat and two Populsts. The Re-
publicans had one hold-over. They
elect ID.
The independent senator is Gray,
Silver Republican, of Stevens county.
He was elected on citizens ticket.
The independent representative is G.
M. Welty, Democrat, of Stevens coun-
ty,who was also elected on the citizens
ticket.
OF the nine fusion representatives
elected, five are Populists and four are
Democrats.
By giving the doubtful representa-
tives to the fusionists, the legislature
on joint ballot stands:
Republicans 81 Independent.--.......2
Fusfonlsts........ ........29
The Republicans attribute their VIC
tory largely to the municipal tax
amendment, which they made direct
issue. claiming that it was "single
tax. They also assign credit to the
sentiment in favor of sustaining the
national administration.
The fusionists ascribe their defeat to
the light vote, which was from 5000
to 30, 5000 less than that of two years
ago, and to the apprehension that
single tax was an issue.

In seyering my official connection
with this company, desire to ex-
press my deep sense Of obligation
to my fellow officers and employees,
with many of whom / have served
for the last seventeen years.
To your energy, ability and 10y
atty in the discharge of your respec-

development of the property.
From a small beginning it has
grown to a great system. From
financial bankruptcy and physical
weakness you have enabled the
management to place the road in a
strong financial and physical posi-
ton. You have patiently shared
with me the trials incident TO the
service in which we have so long
toiled together, and my regret at
parting with you, personally and
officially, is in a measure lessened
by the pleasant memories of our
past association. | shall always
have a care for your comfort and
happiness, and in whatever sphere
your lots are cast | shall rejoice in
your success and sorrow in your
misfortunes.
That you will give to the new
management the same cheerful and
loyal support you haye always ac-
corded me, is the wish of yours
most sincerely,

Soldiers Sleeping Under Fire.

II suppose some people will shrug
their shoulders, said a soldier who
was in the three days battle of San
Juan Hill, when | say that it is a
common thing for soldiers to go
sound asleep under fire, when they
are not permitted to return the
fire, but must lie quiet, 1t isn't
bravery or recklessuess, but the re-
suit of intense excitement on the
brain" In the same way many men
appear utterly indifferent to dan
gerous disorders of the stomach
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
would promptly cure, This remedy
will make them sleep 'like a top
as the saying goes, 1t will give
them nerves of iron. 1t will over
come distrt ssing stomach aud bowel
disorders, give tone and strength to

At present our dollars are rather
high to become popular If a
farmer wants one of these coins he
must pay for it % pounds of cotton,

a dollar cost a few years ago, while
the labor of producing the products
mentioned is about the same, Tex

down.
