FIGHTING YELLOW FEVER.
Soldiers Letter Throws Light Upon
the Santiago Situation.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July "A letter
received today by Will T. Hale, of this
city, from his son Charles, an officer In
the Fifth United States infantry, now at
Santiago de Cuba, gives some insight
into the yellow fever situation there. The
letter says:
yellow fever has carried off four mem
bers of the regimental band in three days,
and in two weeks we have lost twenty
seven men out of our regiment. One
night at 9 o'clock the physician made US
get outside the barracks, with nothing on
but the Cuban atmosphere, our rifles,
belts and 100 rounds of ammunition The
next morning our company was divided
up into small squads, each in charge of
a non-commissioned officer, and scat
tered all about the country

kota Dancing at Decatur.

DECATUR, Neb., July 9-The annual
Indian pow-wow opened at this place to-
day. This is the big event among the
redskins In this part of the country, and

Omaha reservation and some from the
South Dakota tribes have been coming

they make quite village perched out on

The big man is Yellow Smoke, a noted
chief who resides on the Omaha reserva-
ton, and the ceremonies are being con-
Quoted near his lodge. Chiefs and squaws
take part in the pow-wow, and are having
a great time with their incantations and
dances. Thus far the Indians are peace
able. and there Is little probability of
trouble.

TACOMA. Wash.j July 9-John D.
Rockefeller has purchased the Texado
Island Iron mines, in British Columbia.
The mines will be operated by the Monte
Christie Mining company, owned and con-
trolled by Mr. Rockefeller, and it is prob
able development work will be COM
menced at once The price paid for the
property is a secret.
Six years ago an effort was made to
buy the mines and $250O0O was asked for
them. The ore runs SIS per cent and is
considered as good as any iron produced
in the country, and the mines lie within
200 feet of tide water. Mr.. Rockefeller,
it is stated, will soon begin the erection
of plant to handle 4he ore, as at pres
ent there is none in the Pacific North
west. 1t is said the plant will be estab-
lished In Tacoma, owing to the cheap
ness of coke and the railway facilities

of live stock and crops will be heavy.
The Brazos now extends from Caney, in

the amount of the cotton loss. An esti-

MARKET FOR YANKEE CORN.
Possibilities Attending It's Introduce
tiOn In China


tiOn In China.
Mr.. A Burlingame Johnson, United
States consul at Annoy, China, has
written TO the state department at
length regarding cornmeal in China,
says the Washington Star. He says:
1T is interesting to American corn
growers TO know that for the first three
months of 1899 there were imported
from foreign countries and coast ports
a monthly average of 144,5 piculs
Q9,270,57T pounds of rice to supply
the demand for cheap breadstuff for
this port and adjacent cities. The av-
erage price was above AZ cents Mexi-
can (2A cents gold) per pound.
"Cornmeal, grits and hominy could
be laid down here at a price which
would undersell rice during more than
half the year. 1t is only necessary to
introduce the corn products in an intel
ligent way so as to get the people to
understand their use. A good demand
and an ever Increasing outlet for the
surplus corn of our western states
would be created. 1t would require on
ly a few hundred dollars to do this, yet
no mill has been found willing to bear
any portion of the expense. One of the
proposition was laid before it. said it
had nothing to give away, and if Chi
nese wanted the meal they could have
it by paying cash.
Flour has been introduced here, in
the beginning not at a profit. Its in
crease in consumption is marvellous.
During the six months ended June so,
1898. 2S.345 piculs 3.77S,3S9 poundsl
were consumed, as against S4,446 pi-
culs Q1.27S, ,652 pounds) for the same
period of 1899, an increase of 7,50S, 163
pounds for the half year. This, too, in
the face of the fact that flour sells for
double the price of rice, while corn
products could be sold at less than the
average price of rice. thus commend
ing them to the thousands of people
here who must be daily supplied with
foodstuff imported from foreign coun-
tries.
cit would be worse than folly to
dump a cargo of the cornmeal on this
market and offer it for sale as millers
have suggested. 1t must be introduced
by first teaching a number of cooks
(who are all organized in a guild or
union) how to prepare it and then Civ
ing away n limited amount of the cook
ed product through the public restau-
rants, which feed thousands of people.
If this proposition does not appeal to
the business sense of American deal
ers. this immense food supply will con-
tinue to come from other sources, and
our surplus of corn will not reach this
market"

AFTER GOLD BOOMS.
Importance of Reactions In Deter
mining the Population.

importance OF Reactions In DetcE-
mining the Population.
1.-THE law that settlers follow the line
of least resistance suffers an exception
when men are seeking gold," says a
writer in Ainslee's, who goes on to prove
IT. In the natural order of things
population would have worked itself
in a continuous progression toward the
Rocky mountains, crossing them only
by compulsion, as the Alleghanies were
crossed and the Mississippi and the
Missouri rivers. But where there is
gold in sight there is no law. Human
ity goes into Alaska with the same
blind avidity that it went into Califor-
mia so years ago, with the same fatu-
business that it swept to Pixies peak in
1853. Population forsook all its domi-
Giles, its patronageS and its prosperity
in the Argonaut period and, as if driy-
en- by some monstrous wind, surged
over the uneven earth to the Pacific
and TO the Rockies. The whole world
knows how it did so, and the suffering
that ensued is as common story as
the fortunes that were won. But the
thing that is not known, the matter OF
lasting Importance that is most often
overlooked. is the migratory reaction,
the settling back of the big food to
the places in which, either by necessity
or by choice. it must finally rest. The
character of the great west, the trans
missouri, with it's multiple variations,
Is determined by this phenomenon.
"a map and a book of census statis-
tics will tell the story. 1t is the story
of the oil from the pitcher again. Men
and women touched the crest of the
continent at Leadville, in Colorado, in
1858, but fell back on to the plains
again before the sixties were expired.
The Mormon emigration filed the val
ley of the Jordan in 1S47, but the gen.
eral tide of people either went to the
lower valleys of the Sacramento and
the San Joaquin on the oriental side of
the Sierra Nevadas or receded on the
eastern slope of the Rockies. Success
siye mining discoveries enticed rusheS
of prospectors into northern idaho and
British Columbia, but the greater mass
of the movers went back into the
warmer regions of California and Ore
gon. Where the Comstock and the
Consolidated Virginia silver mines once
magnetized so many settlers as to be-
guile congress into making n state of
Nevada there is little left now but the
evidence of what has been and the
promise of what may be when the i'm
migration of the west begins to move
again for less glorious promises than
acres of oranges for the mere tilling OF
the soil and monster timber for the
mere hewing of the logs. The mesas
of the two southwestern territories.
Arizona and New Mexico, seem to have
absorbed the hosts Of traders and nd
venturers that went into them as the
sandy soil of their great areas drink
in the freshets from the mountains"

A thing that stands high in the es:i-

especially recommended by Rock ISL
and people, naturally excites our at
tention more than if our own people
did not praise the article. Such a
thing is going on right here in Rock
Island every day, people are praising
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, because they
cure. There is no deception no hum
bug. they do positively cure, and we
furnish the evidence.

small of my back caused from disor-
cred kidneys, also with spells of nerv-

Kid-re-oids procured a package and
took them according to directions.
and was soon entirely relieved of all
my troubles.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure.
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches, You only need a
