Washington, ,,1arch . The eecre.
tary of var has ordered the reinforce
ment Of Gen Otis by six regiments.
These are the Sixth artillery. scatter
ed along the Atlantic coast States !;
the Sixth infantry at San Aptonlo !;
the Ninth infantry at Madison bar.
racks Thirteenth infantry in New
York State Twenty first infantry at
Patts5urg, \. Y, and the Sixteenth
infantry at Fort Crook and neighbor
ing posts in the middle west.
These regiments have been ordered
to make ready to proceed to San
Francisco and then to Manila
In answer to the direct question as
to whether or not regular troops are
blended to relieve corresponding
lumber of volunteer soldiers at
Manila, it was said at the war depart
ment that while this probably would
be the case it was not positive
statement This means that when
the reinforcements arrive at Manila
if the conditions are satisfactory the
volunteers will be brought home, bnt
if OTIS shall have need for ali the
combined force then they mast wait
The reinforcements are made up Of
troops who are nos only regulars in
the fu!l sense Of the terri, bat who
bave been through 'he Cuban and
Puerto Rican campaigns. They
know what it is 10 be under FIRE !;
how to hu%t Indians and also how 10
fight in the tropical iungIes With
them replacing the same number OF
volunteers, Gen. Otis Will have a
majority of regulars in his command,
something the war department has
earnestly desired to bring about at
the earliest possible moment.
The position of the American com.
mander at Manila also will be safe
guarded against the effect of sudden
and forced discharge of volunteers
by the ratification of the peace
treaty.

doses, according to age.
The above was published several
years ago, but there is so much need
of it now that you will have the thanks
OF many thousands for republica-
tion of it. / have tried it recently
and recommend it as a sure remedy.
The above receipt is taken from

The Happy Christmas Tide.

Christmas, with all its gayeties and
frivolities, has come and gone.
Many are the bright smiles and
happy faces induced by little presents
from loving friends,
Friendships are cemented and the
world made better and brighter by
this custom of making presents to our
friends on Christmas.
The gifts are cherished not for their
value, but for the loving remem-
brance of the giver. How the eyes of
the little child sparkle, and it's merry
notes of joy ring out as it examines
the contents of its stocking on Christ
mas morning!
This Santa Claus deception on the
young is beautiful little delusion
that is harmless in it's nature and
brings joy and pleasant anticipations
to thousands of households. Who
would be so rude as to disillusiOniZe
the child that so earnestly expects
Old Santa with his team of RENDERS
and sleigh loaded down with the
treasures of childhood? Let the inno-
cent ones alone in their happy delu-
si1nS, Soon enough these visions of
pleasure must give way to the stern
facts of life, and all will not be gay
festivity and joyful pleasure.
The school children of today must
tomorrow take your place and mine;
then must the bright, joyous brow of
childhood be clouded with hfe's cares
and sorrows. Throw around the child
rem every means of Innocent amuse-
ment and pleasure. Try not to make
cd men and women of them; they
reach that stage soon enough at best.
The happy days of childhood are but
fleeting moments.
How pleasant it will be for our
children in mature life to treasure up
the pleasant recollections of happy
home life. When troubles come, al
most unbearable, the recalling of the
happy days of youth will be balm to
the wounded heart. If you do nothing
elSe in life but add pleasure to inno-
cent childhood you will be remember
ed, and life will not have been in vain.
Throw aside, for ii day at least, the
busy cares of life, let the crowded brow
clear up, and join in the sports and
joys of the little ones, and they will
reward you in after life.

Hog Cholera.

We have frequently heard farmers
sdy that if they could just be insured
against cholera they could soon get
rich raising hogs. And this disease
has been the great drawback to the
hog business. The rule has been that
about the time farmer got & cd
stock of hogs on hand and got in good
shape to make some money out of
them, the cholera came along and
cleaned them out.
But now a remedy for this great
drawback to the hog business has
been discovered and thoroughly test
ed, so there seems to be nothing to
fear further from the great scourge.
AS preventative of he disease it
is said to be absolutely nt al lible and
the expense Of the remedy is trifilng
compared with the great good it ac-
complishes.
A number of the leading hog men
of the east side of this county have
tested the merits of this article dur
ing the past year and give it their
unqualified Endorsement.
Mr.. Greenwell, the dis overer and
manufacturer of the remedy, is talk
ing of locating in Chanute and en-
gaging extensively in the manufact-
ure Of the article. 1t is doubtless
just what it purports to be or such
men as have tested it would not give
it their hearty endorsement.
Should this remedy prove to be
what is claimed for it, and we have
no doubts in the matter ourselves,
every farmer should procure pack
age at once and use it as a preventive.
There may be no cholera in your
now but you do not
know when it will come and if your
hogs are fortified against it when it
does come, you are in no danger.

On Tuesday. morning following the we'd

wife bade him an affectionate farewell, and
returned to bed. Her dead body was found

with the room full of gas and proof that
death was caused by asphyxiation. While

that they know as much about the Boer
style of fighting as the Boer does. These
Rifles were reorganized in 1878 from the
Frontier Mounted police. Their strength
is now little over 1000. Like the Natal
police, the Cape Mounted Rifles possess ar

corps ia made up of trained sharpshooters,
hunters Of game and expert marksmen,
who take more interest In the rifle than IN
any other implement made by man and who
would like nothing better than a trial OF
skill for blood with the Beers as oppo-
nents.
The body of men who would probably be
called upon to throw themselves into the
breach to stop Boer raid is known as the
Diamond Fields Horse. This Is one of the
most noted military organizations In South
Africa and forms the right wing OF the
Gripualand West brigade, which also COM
prises the Diamond Fields artillery and the
Kimberly Rifles. Had these crack military
organizations of South Africa been among
the defenders of Majuba Hill 1t is certain
that different tale would have been told
on the day when General Colley thought
to end the war by his unfortunate flank
movement. Any rush OF the Beers will
therefore meet barrier that will be strong
enough to hold back the tide of sharpshoot-
ers from the Transvaal until the reinforce
ments arrive from England and India. Any
! advance into the Transvaal will probably
be checked at the almost impossible passes

Mr.. c. R. Grandin, the popular druggist Of

only throughout the United States but in
many foreign countries.
