 This story is told of man who mar ried and took his wife to claim in the strip. An acquaintance who visited them some time later found them in 8 sod cabin. It was the noon hour and the wife had prepared the meal and for table used her kneading board, over which a napkin was spread and the board held on her lap.

 After we have clinohed our tex pansion" policy so that the sun can never set upon the American eagle, it will be worth the while of think ing men to consider that there is ample opportunity for interior" expansion in the reclamation of some millions of acres of splendid land lying right in the heart of the country. When Congress gets ready to vote few millions for the Orient, let it also appropriate some thing to give the West the storage reservoirs she wants and thus make fertile her deserts in the interests of American home builders.

Who Will be our Next President.

Who Will be our Next PreSldent. Politicians are now planning for the presidential campaign of 1900, but the war has so overshadowed all other matters that politics is almost un- noticed. Many people are of the opinion that the candidates will be the same as in 1896, but there may be a clark horse" who will win the race. Popularity has much to do with candidates. This is also true with medicine. The most popular remedy to-day is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and it has retained this for many years. Science never discovered the equal of this medicine tor stomach, liver and kidney diseases. It builds up solid flesh tissue, imparts vigor and vitality to all organs, and makes life worth living. A bottle will make big change for the better. Try it.

Belief That the Provisional Force Now Be
Ing Mustered VIII Be Incorporated
into the Regular Army.

Washington, July ls.-At the war
department the pressure for commits
sions continues, although most Of the
appointments for the volunteer regi-
ments ordered have been made. The
pressure is believed to be due to the
belief that eventually this provisional
force" will become part OF the regu-
lar military establishment, and
that the tenure OF officers now
appointed will be about as secure
as that of those who have
long been in the regular service. There
is no doubt that there will be need for
all the forces now authorized for long
time after the expiration Of the limit
of time placed upon the enlistment of
the volunteers. Under the terms Of
the existing law all OF the officers
and troops are to be mustered out

ChArgea Were Unfounded.

Washington, July 1L-The pension
committee of the G. A. R. finished its
inquiry here yesterday afternoon and
most Of its members left the city last
night. The committee has been here
three days, and during most of the
time has been accompanied by Com
mander-in-Chief johnson. Pending
the report, Col. johnson, the COM
mittee's spokesman, and his col
leagues declined absolutely to dis
cuss their work or the results of
their inquiry. II was admitted, how
ever, that much that has been printed
concerning the action Of the bureau
has been found untrue. The examine
tion of the files has shown lack OF
foundation for many complaints that
have formed the basis Of criticism. 1t
was learned, before the committees
departure, that when 1t arrived here II
had a memorandum OF about so cases
in which the rulings had been criti-
cised. The papers in these cases were
sent for In regular order, and 1t Is un-
derstood disclosed substantially no
foundation for the attacks on the otfi'
cial action on them.

WILL NOT BE SILVER.
Gen. A. j. Warner, the well-Known Ri
metaillst, Gives His Views of the Po-
IltIcal Issues for 1900.

Milwaukee, July 1s.-Gen. A. j.
Warner, president of the Bimetallic
league. who arrived in this city yester-
day, does not believe that the silver
question will be the leading one in
1900. lie says that If the Philippine
war is not ended by that time the
strife on the islands will be one of the
leading issues of the campaign. He
expressed the opinion that Bryan
would receive the democratic nomina-
tion and said:
l do not believe there will be any change
whatever In the position OF the democratic
party on the silver question. At the same time,
the increased production OF gold Is having the
same effect on the business OF the world that
the restoration OF silver would have had II IL
had been restored TO free coinage and there had
been no increase In the product Of gold. In
other words, It is the supply md not the par
ticular color OF the metal that does the work
The silver question, therefore, may not press
with the same force In 1900 that II did in 1898.
