AN INTERESTING DEBATE.
Tintic Veterans of Luzon Discuss
the Private Soldier.
Special Correspondence !


Mammoth. Aug. 2s.-During the enter
tainment given last evening in honor of
the returned volunteers. quite a novel and
interesting event occurred in the way OF
an improvised and instructive argument
between PrivateS Reese and Dillingham;
Thinking TO amuse as well as interest the
audience. some one suggested a speech
from a Manila nero. and Private Reese,
accepting a personal privilege, hastily re-
soonded.
He championed the cause of the soldier.
aging IL was he who earned the dearly
purchased victories, faced the deadly enc
my. always in ambush. stood endless
night watches, and braved the perils Of
the foe. and malaria in the death-dealing
trenches. He said ne was tired OF hearing
so much about the brave majors, captains
and lieutenants. that IL made him very
tired, indeed. Too much had been said
about the officers already, and he thought
the, poor. downtrodden, underpaid and
underfed soldier should come in for his
share of the praise.
Replying TO the sentiments of Reese.
Private Dillingham; said in fact too much
had been said about the officers. too much
that was bitterly unkind unnecessary and
untrue and especially so in the case Of
Major Young He declared that he had
been a careful observer and n times par
ticipant in things that were done. calcu-
lated TO distract any one acting as a su-
perior officer, who had any conception OF
military order. obedience and discipline.
He believed that all of the boys were hon.
est in their intentions. brave ard loyal,
but that many We're disobedient. obstinate
and exasperatingly unmanageable. and
that such only went for an outing and
sightseeing. Perhaps. to those who re-
fused to have the principles, rudiments
and discipline of West Point taught them
Major Young was unpopular; but. as far
as he was concerned he did not recall a
single instance where any of the officers
failed to face any and all dangers that the
men were called on to do.
Both speakers were applauded with
much enthusiasm until the chairman felt
the necessity OF calling a halt and direct
ing attention to less harmful and exciting
amusements.

In a voice that shook the jury box
and dislodged Abe Knowlton's hat,
Herr Diehl expatiated on the utter

He told the court that sentence had

made by the superintendent for the re-
ports. The county census must be trans

ton of state funds. The two districts are
in danger of being deprived of the state
revenue.
There are still some districts that have
not yet engaged all OF their teachers. and
il is not because of a lack of effort to
get them. but because of a scarcity of
teachers About eight more must be Sc
cured during the next two weeks if
schools open when they are expected to,
on Sept. II.

from the capital with their comrades. the

was given by several young ladies' OF this
place and a large sum of money realized,

BLACKBERRY CORDIAL.
Trouble In Store For People Selling
It Without License.

License Inspector Halvorsen and City
Treasurer Morris are going to do some
business with small storekeepers who
have been selling blackberry cordial
without first taking out a city license.
The vendors have apparently been la
boring under the impression that the
cordial was not Intoxicating.
Mr.. Morris secured a sample of it and
sent it to Chemist Herman Harms for
analysis. The chemist reported that
the stuff contained q per cent alcohol
by weight and % per cent by volume
This certainly brings the sellers of the
stuff within the provisions of the Ii
cense ordinance. Treasurer Morris
says that he is going to make them
quit handling it or take out license.
He is taking the step by way of pro-
lection for the men who pay the city
q heavy license for selling liquors.
