cago.

| Company A arrived home at Z
O'Clock last evening after weeks en-
campment at Springfield. The boys
very much resembled veterans as
they bore down Second avenue in
company front, tired, dirty and
broke. With regard to the latter
condition it may be said that the
capitalist of the company had just
80 cents. After being dismissed at
the armery the boys dissolved in the
crowd that had gathered and walked
home to supper.
The week was well spent, this fact
being attested by the condition of the
mem bers when they reached here 1t
spoke for plenty of hard drill and
sleepless nights on guard duty.
The special train on which the boys
came home left Springfield over the
C. & A. at 1925 yesterday afternoon.
The cars furnished them were of a
very primitive type, in high contrast
to the elegant ones furnished by the
r. l. & p. when they went to camp,
and at Peoria some strong objections
to ding any further in them were
registered. Gen. Clendenin took up
the matter, and by his orders two de-
cent cars were attached and the train
came on. arriving here at o'clock.
All the boys are in good condition
physically. All returned with the
exception of Bert BOughton, who went
to Chicago. Walt Cox. veteran of
1898. came up from Springfield with
the company.
Day With the Tars.
South Chicago, July 28.-With tho
opening of the third day of the naval
militia encampment at Camp Dewey,
One Hundredth street and the lake,
routine work was found to be perfect.
No sickness or accidents have invaded
the camp, and the boys take naturally
to the life. Among the 500 in the
camp this year are 40 who saw service
on the battleship Oregon.
The second ships crew did shore
and guard duty yesterday, while the
first ships crew battled with the in
tricacies of signaling, artillery and
target practice on board the gunboat
Michigan. Much attention was de-
voted by the sailors of the Michigan
to teaching the fresh water sailors the
mysteries of the gun drill, rope splic-
ing and clearing The boat for action.
The first ships crew boarded the
cruiser at 8 O'Clock and worked till II,
when they came ashore for their din
ner. After dinner the crew returned
to the boat and work ed until > O. clock,
when they returned to quarters.
Lieut.. w. f. Rutledge, of the second
division of the second ships crew, was
the officer of the day.
John Linnon, of Alton. mem Der
of the Sd division of the I'd ships

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of NJ A. Hogarty, of Lexing-

jaundice. He was treated by the
best doctors, but without benefit.
Then he was advised to try Electric

been cited TO appear before the railroad

too high or that the same rate does not
apply TO all parts Of the state. Whea,

A Druggists Timely and Straight
Forward Advice Saves the Life
of q Prominent Citizen,

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 10, 1900 Especially.
Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, lone is better known or more uni
versally esteemed than Mr.. S. P. Rush,
Conductor (President) Of Holy Name
Court, Number 26.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of it's ranks, were, there
fore, much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
tons, and pills, and powders, until his
stomach refused food. At last, his
local druggist, guided by the numer-
Gus inquiries being made at his store
for Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr..
Rush to- buy and try some. This he
did, and to his delight he was restored
to health and strength.
Mr.. Rush says that after commenc-
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he
felt much better, but it took two
months to effect a cure.
II took nothing else but Dodd's
Kidney Pills during that time, so I
know that I W Life and health to
them"
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, it will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy that
has never failed to cure Bright's Dis
ease.
Mr.. Rush is just now receiving the
congratulations of his friends, but
always finds time to say a good word
for the Medicine that saved his life.
