mission, vast deal of good work was
done by medical officers, high and low,
regular and volunteer, and there were
unusually few deaths among the
wounded and the sick.
What is needed by the medical de-
partment On the future is:
IA larger force of commissioned
medical officers.
Authority to establish in time OF
war a proper volunteer hospital CORPS.
"a reserve corps of selected trained
women nurses, ready to serve when
necessity shall arise, but, under ordi-
nary circumstances, owing no duty to
the war department, except to report
residence at determined intervals.
"A years supply for an army OF at
least four times the actual strength, OF
all such medicines, hospital furniture
and stores as are not materially dam
aged by keeping, to be held constantly
on hand in the medical supply depots.
The report says that Ohickamauga
park is not adapted to the accommods-
tion of more than 10000 at time. On
June 80 there were 5s,543 men in the
camp. The water supply was unsat-
isfactory, the water itself repugnant.
Some of the wells became contamina-
ted. The sanitation of the camp twas
very imperfect and ait times decidedly"
Camp Alger-The report finds that
this camp was undesirable" and that
it was not abandoned too soon.
8 Camp Cuba Libre, jacksonville, Fla.
The commission found much to conn
mend. The suggestion is made that
Florida is not an ideal climate in which
to camp men during the summer
months.
Fernandina, Fla.-Charges of cor
ruption were freely made in connec-
tion with the location of this camp.
They were Investigated carefully and
found to be without the least founda-
ton.
Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point.-On
the whole it may be said that Montauk
Point was an ideal place for the isola-
ton of troops who had been exposed
to or had yellow fever, and for the re-
cuperation of those greatly debilitated
by nalarial attacks of marked severity.
The time allotted for preparation was
altogether too short, and, as a conse-
quence, the camp was occupied long
before it was ready.
Admission, Ala.-This camp was
found in excellent condition on Octo-
Der 81. Everything satisfactory.
Huntsville, Ala.-In all respects
equal to Admission.
Knoxville, Tenn.-Conditions all
thoroughly satisfactory.
Lexington, Ky.-An ideal camp.
The report closes thus: "In conclud-
ing its labors it is with much pleasure
that the commission reports that, not
withstanding the haste with which
the nation entered upon the war with
Spain, the resulting and almost newt
able confusion in bureau and camp, the
many difficulties of arming, assem-
bling and transporting large bodies OF
hitherto unframed men, the carrying
on of active operation in two hemi-
spheres, the people of the United States
should ever be proud of its soldiers,
who, cooperating with ita sailors, in
less than three months put an end to
Spanish colonial power, enfranchised
an oppressed people, and taught the
world at large the strength and the
nobility of great republic"

Dear Sir: / like the country very
much so far; have seen a great num-
ber of farmers from the States and
every one seen so far says they have
done well and like it here far better
than where they came from, and all
claim it to be the best country for a
poor man that they were ever in, and,
with good crops this season, predict
a great rush. There are some nice
claims to be had yet, but will not last
the summer through.
I do not find it any colder than in
Iowa, and am feeling much better than
when left there March 1st. l think
this great country for those who are
suffering with throat and lung
troubles. have seen men that had as
high as 511a bushels of wheat per acre,
and near 100 bushels of oats, but
they weigh from As to 81 pounds per
bushel, but the general run is 25 to 80
wheat, so to rs oats, and stock looking
fine; some cattle running out were
nearly in market flesh.
l expect to return to the States late
this fall for stock, etc. Will write you
when 1 want to go. Thanking you all
for past favors,

the largest stocks of rare old books
and manuscripts outside the great Ii
braries, including many volumes which
cannot be replaced. All of these were
lost. The fire was started by an ex-
plosion of gas which leaked from a
pipe on the third floor and spread with
amazing rapidity. Before the first en-
gine arrived flames were pouring from
the second, third and fourth story win
dows, and in very short time the
floors commenced to fall in and the
walls bulge.

Dearness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion CT the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inaamed you have rum rpmoiiine i +!
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

AN AMBITIOUS CHIEF.
Storm King Truly Is Most Accom-
pIished Indian.
He Hopes to Establish an Indian State
and Represent 1t in COngresS-
How He Secured HiH Thor
0uGh Education.


Chief Not-Afraid-of-Thunde or, as
he writes himself Storm King, rs one
of the finest specimens of physical man
hood that walks the earth, and he is
very proud of has education, which
makes him leader among his people.
He is full blooded Comanche, and from
his earliest youth he has devoted all his
energies to study.
Beginning with natural talents of a
high order, and possessing an extraor-
binary memory, he no sooner learned
to read and write than he almost
startled those most familiar with him
by the rapid progress that he made in
acquiring knowledge. It is said that
when a boy he learned the mu.tiplica-
ticn table in one night; and before he
was sent to school he frequently amazed
his friends by repeating whole chap
tiers from the Bible, or long newspaper
articles, after reading them two or
three times.
His father was q wealthy chief and
encouraged his boy to learn the white
mans books. After the Comanches
were settled on their reservation the
old chief had the good fortune to meet
with Arsayne Beaujen, a Frenchman,
who had made plenty of money trading
with the Indians.
Tais old voyager was going back to
France to marry and enjoy life beneath
the only skies that are bright and
pretty in the eyes of Frenchman, and
he offered to take the Indian boy with
him to Paris and give him the oppor-
tunity to obtain a first-cbass education.
The shrewd old Comanche was pleased
with this proposition, and the boy bade
his people farewell and started away
with his benefactor with the determine
ton to secure q good education.
In less than three months the old
Frenchm2n wrote the Comsnche chief

HOUSEHOLD CARES.
Those of wOmen, Mr.. BIlItops Thinks,
Are Harder to Bear Than the
Business Cares of MeA.

eve all have our cares" said Mr.. Bill
tops, ~men and women alike; but
don't know but what women's cares are
a little harder to bear than mems. There
is deadly monotony about household
cares that does not pertain to the cares
of business.
THE man may lead a routine life,
year after year, the same thing over and
over again; he may go daily year after
year to the same Office, store or shop,
hut the mere going back and forth gives
him some variety. He goes through
the streets with their constantly chang
ing life; he NETS many people daily; he
may not know any of them, but it does
him good to meet them; they give him
new impressions and freshen him up.
He may see the same scenes daily, but
they cannot be always alike, and he
must get more or less benefit from their
ever-varying phases
"But the Jnonotony of woman's life
is far less likely to be varied even in
such ways. The man must go out to
earn the money to buy bread with; the
woman's work is in the house, and her
constant tendency is to stay there more
and more. Her work is there, and all
the time it increases and accumulates,
and she buckles down to it and goes out
less and less. The routine becomes all
the time more fixed and unvarying. and
she sticks to it, day after day and week
after week and year after year, the
same thing over and over again, until
it becomes 50 irksome that it is hard to
bear.
breakfast, luncheon and dinner, or
breakfast, dinner and tea, whatever the
routine of the house may be, there is no
change. The question, What shall we
have for dinner?' simple as that may
seem, may easily become g bugbear;
and the meal times recur more and
more swiftly. The mer4 labor of look
ing after the food is great, aud to that
is added the darning and the mending
that must be done, and the cleaning and
the busting, all on fixed days and at
fixed hours, else they won't be done.
'I imagine that household cares,
women's cares, in the routine of life
IRE more burdensome and harder to
bear than mems cares. And what 10
the mans duty in this case2 Why, it's
to give his wife some relief from this
routine. Take her to the theater or to
some concert or any form of entertain
ment. Homely form OF relief? So; but
astonishingly good, and it will do you
good, too."-N. Y. Sun.

YEARS GOLD OUTPUT.
Shows an Increase of $s,ooo,ooo Over
1897.

Washington, Jan. &C E. Roberts,
the director of the mint, has received
from the officials and agents of the bu-
reau the preliminary estimates upon the
production of gold in the several pro-
ducing states and territories of the
United States for the calendar year,
1898. These estimates, although subject
to revision, are deemed to be approx
mately correct.
Nearly all of the states show an in
creased production. Colorado main
tains and increases it's lead by a larger
addition to its product than in any
previous year The product in Cali
fornia was considerably reduced by pre-
vailing drought, which affected the out
put of the placers, but the increase
from lode mining has slightly more
than offset this reduction.
Returns are given below and COM
pleted with the final estimates for the
production of the same states and terri
tories in 1897:
