Rusticatc n Few Days.

New York, June 23.-Gov. Roose-
welt left this city for Oyster bay at

els V. Greene to the Fifth avenue
meeting Chairman B. B. Odell, and
the trio made a call on Senator Platt.

inee.
Gov. Roosevelt announced that he

when he will go to Oklahoma to at
tend the Rough Riders convention.
II was intended that he should adj

nomination for the vice presidency
has made that impossible.

YELLOW FEVER IN CUBA.
Unusually Heavy Rains Have Caused
the Disease to Break Out Mt
Many New Places.

Havana, June 23.-The unusually
heavy rains that have been falling
throughout Cuba have caused yellow
fever in places where it had been I'M
known for several years. Fortunate
", except at Santa Clara and Quema-
dos, the United States troops have
escaped. At Quemados two new cases
are reported among the members of
Gen. Lees staff-Capt. Hepburn, sig
nal officer, and Maj. Kean, chief sur
geon. Capt. Hepburn's case is seri-
Gus, but Maj. Kean's is light. Mrs
Edmunds, wife of the late Maj. Frank
H. Edmunds, is cOnvalescent. She
has not yet been told of the death Of
her husband.
Havana has developed only three
cases thus far, in spite of the gloomy
predictions of what would occur as
soon as the rainy season, from which
the city did not suffer last year, was
really at hand.
FL Cubano says: ''The Cubans have
a right to object to the expenditure
of money for sanitary measures in
tended to protect the lives of Ameri
cans, as they do not themselves take
yellow fever. In such circumstances
large expenditures can not be justi
fed"

Atlanta, Ca, June ga committee

ington to invite President Mckinley
and his cabinet to Atlanta, July 20, to

neared Atlanta, says:
1T will be a great pleasure to me
to meet in friendship and unity the
men L met in hostile combat sc years
ago. No country on earth can pre-
sent such a scene. 1t seems that God
is ruling the destiny of the nation and
has a great mission for our united
country to accomplish. 1t is now the
duty of every patriot to seek to unity
and strengthen the bonds of fraterni-
" between the once divided sections
of the country. We are bound to'
gether by the ties of commerce, by
the ties of blood, and 1 rejoice that

Demand cor Indemnity Renewed.

Constantinople, June 25.-Lloyd C..
GriscOm, United States charge DAT
flares, presented fresh note to the
Ottoman government, insisting upon
an immediate reply to the demand of
the United States for a settlement of
the indemnity in connection with the
losses of Americans at the time of
the Armenian massacres. Although
vigorously phrased, the note is not an
ultimatum. 1t is said, however, to
have been a disagreeable surprise to
the porte, testifying as it does to the
intention of the United States gov
eminent to pursue this matter of in
demnity to the end.

Fitting 10 The ENGINES.

The big engines on the passenger trains
of the Northern Pacific have been in
Brainerd for several days being fitted up
with electric appliances for the furnish
ing of electric lights to the coaches OF
the new flyers and also to the headlights.
With the advent of the forthcoming
double coast passenger service on the
Northern Pacific electricity will play an
important part in the illumination of the
trains at night. Not only will the coach,
es be lighted with electricity but the en-
gines will be so lighted.
The work of fitting up the engines, to
be used in this service, is now in pro.
gress and one engine is ready for trial.
The electric headlight is one feature
which is going to attract a great deal Of
attention. The light will be in the shape
OF an enclosed miniature arc, aided by
powerful ref1ectors which will extend the
light a remarkably great distance ahead.
1t will be supplied by means of a motor
and dynamo placed near the headlight.
The cabs of the engines and the tenders
will be lighted by a series Of small in.
candescent lights of about twelve candle
power capacity each. Railway men say
that engines with electric headlights
will be plainly d%iscernable several miles
away, on a straighttrack, andthe flyers
will be so distinguished by trainmen.--

Still, More Couoterfeitinq.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
otner nd OF counterfeiters and secured
a large number of bogus bills, which are
SO cleverly executed that the average
person would eve suspect them of be-
ing spurious. Things Of great value are
always selected by counterfeiters for
imitation, notably the celebrated Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which has many
imitators but no equals for indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters sets things
right in the stomach, and when the stom'
ach is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength and
vitality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counterfeits
when buying.
