TO IxlEND THE COMMISSIONS WORK

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29-The war i'll
its afternoon session to-day to the tN-
animation and classification of conf
plants which have been made to tie
President. A large number of such com
plaints have been received at the White
House. They came yesterday i'll the
form of letters and are for the most
part from relatives of enlisted men.
Those examined in this session deal iG
the main With Camp Wikoff and Camp
Thomas, but some Of the letters also
make charges concerning other camps.
They relate especially to the food served
the soldiers aud the hospital accommodate
tons. None of them was of Il very strlk-
ing character.
One of the letters read to-day was
from Dr. Sims, of Chattanooga, written
10 Il friend i'll Ohio in response to an
inquiry for the facts in regard to Camp
Thomas. and was forwarded by the per
son who had received it to the Prcsi-
dent. DR.. Sims said in this letter that
there was 40 justification for the charge
that the site Of the camp was not de
sirablc. 1t was. he said, admirable. The
Doctor said that at the beginning Of the
camps career the hospital facilities wcr"
limited but that these had been increased
until they were adequate to meet the de
mands upon them.
The committee expects to begin to take
testimony next week. General Wheeler
is expected to be among the first wit
nesses called.
The examination of complaints to the
President was continued at the afternoon
session.

P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, en-
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that wagon train could use. My COM
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for Oul
pack-train before We left Tampa, and
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."

manufacturers of this medicide, the

In Union county, considerable grain
is still to be cut; elsewhere it is practic-
ally all cut, though not threshed. In
sections threshing is well along, in others
1t is about finished. Reports continue
as to the favorable yield. One CORES
pondent reports: "The grain crop this
year, in quality and yield, is the best in
fourteen years." Many correspondents
report that the grain crop is up to all
expectations, and as expectations were
high, a good crop has resulted. Fall
seeding has commenced. Some are
seeding in the dust, in the hope that the
rains will give it proper position.
One correspondent reports: "Prunes,
early apples, black berries and peaches
are abundant, and are being shipped to
considerable extent. Threshing is
over, and larger grain crop than usual
has been stored away. Baled hay and
straw, potato patches, cornfields, clipped

Another reports: "Clover and alfalfa
have been cut twice, and are growing
again for pasture"
Fruit is maturing and being shipped.
Prune drying Is active. Melons and
peaches are good crops. There are no
adverse reports from field, orchard or

are satisfied with the results. Within
few weeks all crops will be gathered,
and work commenced for next years
