DEPARTURES OF TROOP /.
a Few Words About Their Gal
liant Commander.


All necessary arrangements have
been finally made for the depart
IRE OF Troop L. Ninth Cavalry, and
they will set out tomorrow at noon
from Fort Brown for their new
post in Arizona. Before saying
adieu to the troop. THE HERALD
would reiterste what it has said be-
fore, that Brownsville has been
we'll pleased with the orderly con-
duet of Troop L during its stay at
this post, siswing the men to be
as good soldiers in time of peace
as they were brave in tbs war in
Cuba.
AS to their gallant commander,
Capt. NJ. W. Day, it may well be
said there has never been a more
popular and efficient officer in CON-
mand of Fort Brown, and his de-
parture is generally regretted by
our citizens. And before he goes,
it should be told tn the genial OF
ficer, that he, as we'll as his men,
has won greater distinction on the
field Of battle than social triumphs
could ever beStow. The captain Ia
one of tke comparatively few men
in the army who have been award
ed gold medal by congress for
heroic action on the field of battle,
Having won it by walking coOlly
Q ct under fire in & hot fight with
the Indians, picking up one of his
M M who lay wounded on the firing
Ii, g, and carrying him to the rear,
while bullets fell like hail about
him piercing his uniform in many
pIac., vs.. He also wears many other
medals won by expert marksman-
ship, and is known in the army as
one OF the best shots and brsvest
a I'd coolest officers in the service.
All this has been learned, not from
the captain, who is as modest as he
is brave, bat from his stauneh
friend and fellow compaigner for
many years, Capt. Chas. g. Ayers,
the new commanding officer AT
Fort Brown. So it IS that in bid
ding farewell to Capt Day, we
can say We are proud to have
knolv0 so brave and stauuch a sol
der, and wish him the best that
the fortunes OF war may bestow
upou him.

sent the beautiful dwarf mare,
which he imported several years
ago from Mexico, as a gift to I'd
iutant General Carbin, at Washing
ton. TIE little animal we sent
by express via Alice, cossiss the cap
tain $50 for transportation. The
express agent at Alice at first de
mauded that the mare should be

" refused to have doue, as it would
have been very cruel and result
IN much suffering for the little
animal and might have cSnSed its
death. The mare, which weighs
only 400 pounds, is very valua-
BILE present, and one which will
doubtless be much appreciated by
the recipient. The captain has re-

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the
Eustachin Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroy

ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inaaned condition

An EXTENSIVE ADDITION
Being Made to the Indiana Mineral
Springs (lndiana) Hotel
At AN OUTLAY OF $4,000.
Growth of Enterprise Representing Ex-
penditurs of o26O.OOO-su
full Management of
II. l. Kramer.

Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property OF the Indi-
ana Mineral Springs Company is locat-
ted at Indiana Mineral Springs. In
diana was wholly unimproved and al
most wilderness. Now. owing to tho
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities Of the springs and the heal
ing virtue OF the soil itself. together
with the enterprise OF Major H. l..
Kramer there is located there one Of
the finest sanitariums in the United
States. The natural picturesque sur
roundings have been made more at
tractive and the hotel Is model OF
comfort and elegance.
For the greater accommodation of
guests who come in constantly increas-
ing numbers from every section Of the
United States, arrangements have now
been made for the enlargement OF the
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi-
tions that will cause an outlay Of over
$4,000. The improvements will consist
Of new bath house and an addition
20 the hotel. The addition will be two
stories in height and will occupy a
ground space S0xl60 feet. II provides
forty additional guest chambers. The
entire addition will be handsomely
and elegantly furnished. The bath
house. when completed. will be the
finest In the United States.
Besides the bath house and the
guest chambers there will be on the
first floor dining hall, music room,
billiard hall. physicians offices and
barber shop. In connection with the
bath house there will be ladies' and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and cool
ing rooms. The dressing and cooling
rooms will be elaborately decorated
and the floors will be laid in white
tile. In both cooling rooms will be
built large ornamental fire places
which will be used Tor heating pur-
poses In addition to the regular steam
heating. The work will be entirely
completed In 80 days.
The improvement and the entire ar
rangements of the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping in view the artistic
eject of the whole. and when the i'm
provements arranged for are complet-
ed the hotel and surroundings will be
much more attractive than before.
Major Kramer states that still fur
ther addition to the hotel is contem-
plated. and that plans are now being
prepared for an additional structure
to contain $50 rooms for guests.
Already n quarter OF million dol
lars has been expended on the In
diana Mineral Springs enterprise and
under the present management greater
growth and development In the future
is assured.-Attica Daily Ledger.

Facts About China,

II. c. 5J0-Time of Confucius.
Is. Q. 211-Chinese great wall com.
plcted.
The important events In Chinese his
tory In the Christian era were:
70-Buddhism enters the empire.
12GO-Pekin became the capital.
1575-Jesuiis admitted To the country.
1GG0-Flrst shipments of tea 10 Eng

1s5l-First Tai-Plng rebellion against

1SI0-Dlstlnct revolt against presence
of foreigners.
1SIG-First railroad opened.
1Sy1-Renewed nnti-foreign riots.
Here are some of the things not gen
orally known OF China:
The surface area Of the Chinese EN-.
pire is eighteen times greater than that
Of Great Britain.
The coast line OF the empire exceeds
$500 miles, and the land frontier 400
miles.
The total area OF China is APIS, ,40l
square miles.
The two great mountain ranges are
the Thslnling, or Blue mountains, and
the Nanling chain.
The area drained by the great Yang
tse-klang river Is 10000 square miles.
The city OF Pekln consumes nearly
10000 tons OF rice annually.
Printing was Invented by the Chinese
about the beginning of the tenth CEN
tury.
The penal code OF the empire Is Mt
least 1000 years old. and under Its pro-
visions about 1900 persons are annu-
ally executed.
The edible dog of China is n small
one OF groyhoundlikc form. The skin
Is almost destitute OF hnir
The purcst Chinese Is spoken nt Nam

There Is no distinction OF parts OF

FISHING FOR TUNA
PAsrlME ON THE PACIFIC COAST
An Exclusive Club at Avalon of Which
Only Piscatorisl Experts Can Become
Members.

In order to hear really big fish stories
one should visit Avalon, the pictur-
esque summer resort on Catalina is
land, off the southern coast of Califor-
mia. The eXcitements of life here are
divided between playing golf and
catching tuna.
1t Is difficult to tell which is the more
laborious occupation. The golf links
are said to be the best and therefore
the most difficult and the tuna Is hard
to catch. II Is very gamey, deep wa
ter fish which attains great size, and to
catch one Is n great honor, usually well
earned. They are good To eat, and en-
thusiastic fishermen enjoy catching
them, but the chief incentive lies In
the fact that n tuna caught in accord
ance with the rules is the only creden-
tials that admit u manor woman-to
coveted membership In the Tuna
Club. The fish must be caught with
the rod and reel after the approved
fashion, and at the end of each season
n prize is given to the member who
has taken the largest one. The club
winds up the season with big BAN
quet and has great jubilation over
the seasons sport.
The largest tuna ever caught weighed
260 pounds, and the smallest weighed
forty pounds.
The usual method employed is to en-
ploy two men with launch and a
skin. After the fish has been hooked
the fisherman jumps into the skin with
an oarsman whose business 1t Is to fol
low the fish In his mad rushes in or.
der to prevent the breaking of the line
which is not of large size. The task
of tiring out such a big fish is long
one, and the record of the club shows
that 1t has required in one case four.
teen hours. A Colorado fisherman
who has played n mountain trout can
perhaps imagine the amount of endur.
ance and pluck needed by the fisher
man who hooks n tuna. OF course Il
big fish often gets away after being
played for several hours. The fact
that the cost of the two men with their
boats Is 81 per day is an indication OF
the expensiveness of this sport
Wealthy men do not. however, appear
TO mind this. One gentleman reported
that his 2OO-pound tuna finally cost
him $40 pound, or 5000. 1t took this
gentleman three years to catch his fish
and he came across the United States
each year until he succeeded.
These are some Of Aavalon's fish
stories, and there are others"
