DIED-At the Soldiers Home, Santa Monica, Cal, Move mber 2d, 1899, W. r. Davis, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Florence. Mir. Davis went to California several weeks ago for change of climate, having been ill for some time, but his friends little thought death was so near at hand. Hence they were greatly shocked when the news came of his death from heart failure. W. P. Davis was born at Benicia, Cal, March 8, .l847, and during the rebellion served in Co. E, 9th California Infantry. He had lived in Arizona for about twenty years, at one time being a resident of Tombstone. The remains were buried in the Soldiers Home cene- tery on the afternoon of the 3d, with military honors and the proper relig- ions ceremonies,

output of the KIondike.

No one will ever know exactly how much gold was taken from the Klon- dike fields the past season. Since the English government imposed royalty, the miners have adopted all sorts of ruses to evade the law. It is rather difficult to dodge taxes, but 1t is more difficult to dodge bad cold and the grip at this time of year. When the system is weakened by such attacks, and the blood becomes thin and im- poverished, the best medicine to take is Hostetter's stomach Bitters. This remedy builds up the system. Besides regulating digestion, it oyercomes constipation. It is good for the kid neys and liver, too, stimulating these organs into the proper performance of their functions. Nothing is so good for malaria.

Mr. ". H. Allison, thrifty farmer southeast of Mesa, put IA acres in bar ley and alfalfa last year. He obtained yield of 147 sacks of barley, 3,05O los. of alfalfa seed, 10 tons of alfalfa hay, and 45 tons of hay which was threshed. In addition to this he pastured to the amount of $40. The total worth of the crop was s5l3sO. The expense was as follows: Threshing barley sl3.85, threshiog alfalfa seed $6760, and water $5, or total of $s6.45. This left a net profit of $427. 7.S5 or $30.66 for each of the 14 cres cultivated. Farm ing in the Salt River valley is profit able and this is but one of the many eases which has been brought to our attention, and is not an exc optional case.-[M Free Press.

THE KETTLE BROOK CASE
Bill of Commission and Cost of steno-
graphic Work Stumbling Block.


The Kettle Brook cases doomed IN in
court once more in one of the final
chapters before Judge Hopkins yester.
day morning.
The award of the commission was ac-
cepted by the manufacturers, and The
money has been paid to the claimants
put now comes the payment of the big
Dill for the services of the commission
and for stenographic work.
Ihe Dill was before the superior court
some time ago for approval, and the
particular issue at stake yesterday was
the petition of the mill owners. seeking
TO lay the cost of the commission at
the doors of the county. In the argu-
ments by counsel yesterday, it was
SHOWN that since the last hearing in
the matter, the situation has been al
together changed by virtue of an act
passed by the last legislature. The act
stipulates that when a commission is
appointed, bills of a character like the
one in quetion shall be paid out Of the
county treasury. The act reads:
Whenever upon petition for the
assessment of damages or in any
other proceedings authorized by law
one or more persons are appointed
by the supreme court or the supe-
rior court to hear the parties, assess
damages and make an award to be
returned to the court, the court
shall award reasonable compensa-
ton not to exceed SIS a day to, each
such person to be paid by county
in which they are appointed and not
to be taxed to the bill of costs OF
either party. This act shall apply
to pending cases as well as to those
hereafter brought and shall take
effect upon its passage
Judge Hopkins expressed a doubt as
to his authority in the matter, and 1t
is within probability that the case will
be carried to the supreme court for
Interpretation of the meaning of pend
ing cases in the new act. Meanwhile,
Judge Hopkins has all the papers in
the case under consideration. Fred w.
Blackmer appeared for the mill own
ers; A. P. Rugg for the city, and Rock

cided by the powers that be in Wash
ington that this regiment will be dis
tfnctively a Massachusetts regiment in
command of Massachusetts officers al
most entirely, and recruited from
among the SONS of the old Bay State.
The two lieutenants who stand such
good show of getting a commission
are Lieut. William H. Plummer of the
local City Guards and veterans of the
Cuban campaign, and Lieut.. George p
Buechner, formerly quartermaster OF
the Fifth Massachusetts regiment.
Both have filed their applications
with secretary of war, and have the
names of influential men appended tc
them. They think their chances fol
appointment are exceedingly good
Their applications have been filed some
time ago.
Worcester interest will not stol
there as other officers of the Ninth and
Second regiments will surely make
their applica tions for a commission, and
many of the men that saw service with
those two regiments will be depended
upon to go out with their officers, and
fill out the regiment 1t is estimated
that at the very least two companies
out of the 10 to be- recruited will come
from this city.
The order for the enlistment of the
10 regiments was issued by the war de.
partment yesterday, and calls for regi-
ments that will be numbered from
Twenty-sixth to Thirty-fifth and will
be mustered in fori two years service
according to the act of congress OF
March 2. In regard to applicants fol
commissions, the order reads: "Appli-
cants. for commissions except officers
OF the regular army, will be required
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-07

to- pass a satisfactory examination as
to age, moral, mental and physical tit-
ness and capacity TO command troops,
and must have had service during the
Spanish America war"
The last statement lets the Worcester
applicants in, and many more will UNI
doubtedly apply.
The regiments will be recruited at
the regular recruiting stations of the
regular army and the local office in the
Walker building will be the recruiting
station in this vicinity. The Massachu-
sets regiment, the Twenty I'M
der the command of a Massachusetts
man, Col. Rice, will be organized at the
Plattsburg barracks, New York
The rules regarding the enlistment of
the men for these regiments are not SO
rigid as the one for the regular army
and the men will be enlisted for a pc
Rod ending June 80, 1901 unless sooner
discharged, and without any restric-
lions as to the citizenship or education-
al qualifications, but in all other re-
spects under the same rules and reg
ulations as are prescribed for the re-
cruiting the regular service. Except
in special cases, unmarried men will be
enlisted for these regiments.
OF the ~ captains to be appointed
for the new Twenty sixth, Massachu-
setts will be entitled to about six.
About one7half of the first and second
lieutenants will be chosen from New
England men,
Lieut.. William H. Plummer, who has
made his application for a commission
In the regular army, is as clearly enti-
tied to 1t as any Worcester man can be.
He has served 10 years in the state mill
tia, and Is regarded as being one of the
best tacticians In the state. He first
served in b battery for three years, be-
ing a sergeant for two years. He later
was transferred to A company of the
City guards.
When the war broke out with Spain
Sergt. Plummer was one Of the first to
signify his intention Of going out with
his company. and, when Lieut.. Lucke
Of his company failed to pass the ex-
animation Sergt Plummer was made
lieutenant.
Drs Dunwoodie and Woodson believ-
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-07-07

ed that Lieut. Plummer was an i'm
mune to yellow fever and placed him in
charge of the ward where the sufferers
OF That disease were. and when it came
time fer the regiment to go home Lieut..
Plummer was left behind to care for the
sick and TO look after their interests.
His application is signed by all his
Superior officers, Col. E. P. Clark,
Lieut.. Col. E. R. Shumway, Maj. Harry
b. Fairbanks, Capt. L. G. Barrett, and
many citizens of prominence and influ-
ence, including Senator George F. Hoar,
Hon. Joseph II. Walker and Hon. John
r. Thayer.
Lieut.. George Buechner is the typical
American soldier, and is the proud pos
SCISSOR of that coveted honor of the SOL
der, medal of honor. He has seen
service in the Indian campaigns and has
been for eight years in the cavalry
branch of the service, three years in
the infantry and nine months in the
volunteers. He served in the Sixth
cavalry as quartermaster during the
Sioux campaign, VIXEN Gen. Custer was
killed 1t was during this campaign
that Lieut.. Buechner performed the
service for which he received the medal
of honor His commander Gen. Carr
then Col. Eugene A. Carr, called for
three volunteers to carry a message
through many miles of hostile country
The three volunteers, under Lieut.
Buechner, started out, and two died OF
exposure before the message was deliv-
cred. The two that died were granted
medals of honor, but before they re-
ceived them they were dead.
Lieut.. Buechner knows Col. Rice very
well. He met him at the Worlds fair
where Lieut.. Buechner was represent
ing the cavalry branch of the service
Col. Rice was then in command of the
famous Columbian guards.
Lieut.. Buechner left the regular serv.
ice when he took a Worcester girl fol-
his bride and settled in this city, pur.
chasing home at II Wabash avenue
When the Spanish-American war broke
out Lieut. Buechner volunteered his
service and enlisted in the Fifth Massa.
chusetts. His rise in that regiment was
rapid. He went in as color sergeant
and in nine days he was promoted t.
sergeant-major. Twenty-Five days more
he was promoted to second lieutenant
II days and he was first lieutenant, and
one day more and he was regimenta1
quartermaster. He has also occupied
the positions of acting adjutant, com.
missary and ordinance officer for the
regiment. He received many compli-
ments for the work he accomplished
by Lieut.-Col. E. M. Weaver, the regu-
lar army mastering officer for the state
of Massachusetts.
