The following account of the fu-
neral is taken from the Lewiston
'Tribune's' correspondence:
"Last evening at 5 o'clock the
Second battalion was shocked to
hear that we had lost one of our
most worthy and highly respected
comrades. VIM. Jones, member
of Co. G of Grangeville, died of dy-
sentery and typhoid fever. The
deceased has a brother here and
many close friends to mourn their
great loss. Twelve of our cOmpa-
nv attended the funeral, which
was conducted in a military man
ner. Large wreaths of beautiful
white flowers were placed on the
coffin by members of the company
and Lieutenants Hartman; Caswel
and Holden. The company fell il
at their quarters and we joined
them, making over 100 men in thu
procession. We wore white uni
forms, belts and helmets. Thu
chaplain led the procession, follow
ed by the band, the firing squa'
and the company. The procession
moved from the quarters to tn
hospital where we received the bo
dy of our departed comrade. Th
remains were enclosed in a nea
black coffin and when placed in tn
hearse were covered with the ma
tional colors. The hearse an
!, horse were jet black and the drive
was native. At the grave til

The farmers of Yuma township
don't like it little bit: in fact they

deemable in gold? Are they backed
in any way by gold, directly or indi-

not redeemable in gold, and my read
ing informs me there is no law pro-
viding for such redemption. Silver
dollars are not backed in any way by
gold. directly or indirectly, and never
have been. If you had 4 hundred
million silver dollars you could not
obtain gold for them at the treasury.
Mr.. A: Why will an American sill
yer dollar buy two Mexican dollars?"
Mr.. B: The reason is an American
silver dollar has the fiat of govern

yer dollar has not" Mr.. A: Does
the new banking law now being agi-
tated propose to retire treasury notes,
silver dollars, greenb backs, etc, and
if so what kind of money is it pro-
posed to issue in place of the money
retired?" Mr.. b: There are a
number of proposed measures for re-
forming our currency, and establish

all framed on the plan of is
suing bonds and calling in the silver

banks to issue money based on the

The Army and Navy Board.

The Chicago Records always in
| formed correspondent, William Z.
Curtis, has this to say of the army
and navy board now in session in New
York, of which Mai. Stanhope Blunt,
of Rock Island arsenal, is a member.
and from which reference NAV be
gained something of an idea of the
Importance of the boards nilsson.
The late war demonstrated the folly
of having the military and naval
forces armed with different kinds of
guns. 1t would have been a matter
of great convenience if the muskets
and the ammunition carried by the
sailors and marines had been the same
as those carried by the soldiers. The
difference led to a great deal of con-
fusion, and there were occasions when
there might have been disaster if we
had been lighting a nation of military
strength. At various times in past
years efforts have been made TO Sc
cure uniformity in the small arms of
the army and navy, but it has been
prevented by the jealousy of ordnance
experts in both branches of the serv-
ice. The navy has adopted and is
using a rifle that was invented by a
naval officer, and in which his COM
rades feel great pride, particularly
because it has been adopted in several
foreign countries. The army uses
weapon of different mechanism and
calibre, the patent for which was
purchased from foreigner. An ord
nance board of the army, appointed
by act of congressCesp specially to exam
inc and select a weapon to take the
place of the old Springfield rifle. re-
jected the guns used by the navy and
selected a foreign invention after a
long consideration of the subject and
the most elaborate tests. Their Sc
lection has been severely criticised by
the men who use the guns, and has
been the subject of continual COM
plant because OF its complicated
character. 1t is often said that
no one but graduate of technolog-
zeal school can clean an army rifle.
In fact, the difference of opinion on
this subject has caused the formation
of factions in the army. The gun has
defenders who are quite as ardent
and positive as its accusers. a board
of army and navy officers meets in
New York to consider this question,
and it's report will be watched with
great deal of interest. 1t is in
structed to report measures to secure
a uniform calibre of small arms and
machine guns, and a uniform stand
ard of arms and cartridge for both
branches of the service

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

w. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill.
Chief" says: I'VE won't keep

covery for consumption, coughs and

others, but never got the true rem
edy until we used DR.. Kings New
Discovery. No other remedy can
take it's place in our home, as in it we
have a certain and sure cure for
coughs. colds, whooPing cough, etc. >
1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as DR.. Kings
New Discovery. They are not as
good, because this remedy has a rec
ord of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy Trial
