AIDING WOUNDED IN BATTLE.
All Perfectly simple and Comforting to
 Read About.

Never have the arrangement for dealing with the wounded been in so thoroughly satisfactory a condition as they are today, says the Church Fam ily Newspaper. During an engagement and as the troops advance the Wound- ed are sought out as quickly as may be possible, their wounds temporarily dressed. fractures temporarily spltnted and any other first aid" given that may be necessary. Indeed, in the pres ent campaign each soldier carries with him a small first aid' equipment Ill his tunic, so that he may bandage him. self or temporarily arrest bleeding. or give such help to a wounded comrade. After first aid" is rendered the wounded are borne on comfortable lit- ters to the dressing places, which are sheltered spots a short distance be- hind the line of battle-usually 1n the rear of the artillery. Here they are eX- amined by the surgeons; hemorrhage is securely arrested; bullets which can be easily and quickly removed are taken away; foreign bodies and spllnt- CTS of bone or shell, if loose, are re- moved; limbs so secured as to render transport to the field hospital easy and comfortable and anything else done which can be done with ease and ra= pidity. No big operation is done at these spots except in the case of limbs so shattered as to require immediate amputation. The surgeons at the dressing places" do only what is ab- solutely necessary, and then the wounded are made comfortable in spe- cially constructed ambulance wagons and transported to the field hospital.

MANY PLAQUES IN AFRICA.
Both Man and Beast Are M,de AIlser-
 able by Natures Pests.

From Ainslee's Magazine: South Af- rica exports hides, wool and mohair, and the ranchman would reveI in riches were it not for the various pests that decimate his fiocks and herds
 The most deadly one is the rinderpest, cattle plague which in the last ten years has been slowly creeping from Central Africa southward, leaving a wake of whitened bones. In travelling through Natal saw fifty oxen lying dead about a spring, so suddenly had the disease attacked them. It was al
 most impossible to get an untinged piece of steak at a restaurant though the proprietor resented any such charge, and plethorie German travel ar who called out in loud tone for
 roast rindeTpest" in the railroad cafe at De Aar Junction, Cape Colony, had to be picked up in fragments. Dr.
 Koch and other eminent specialists tried to stop this plague. The country is now recovering from it slowly
 Another pest is the tsetse fly, an insect resembling our common house fly. but three times as large. It's bite will kill a horse. COW or any other domestic animal in about ten days, but, strange to say, does not affect wild animal or human being. A less dangerous, but more troublesome, pest is the white ant, which is about one-quarter of an inch long and ubiquitous in many parts of the country. They live under the ground, and can only be routed by killing the queen, which sometimes reaches the size of one inch in length. This insect is particularly harassing in Rhodesia. At Buluwayo my travelling companion inadvertently left his boots on the floor after turning in at night
 and he arose next morning to find the uppers carefully separated from the soles. Lucky you didn't leave your clothes on the floor was the hotel= keepers only consolation. These ants will eat through anything but metal. and for that reason much of the build ing is done with corrugated iron The anthill is one of the conspicuous land marks in travelling over South Africa.

east wing would be devoted to the ex Gu
tive force. and would contain provision
for formal functions The west wing
would contain a magnificent state dining
room capable of seating 100 guests. The
present dining-room is crowd-d bey~ni
sufferance with fifty people, and Ct lac
years it has been the practice to give all
dinners in the long corridors IL the CEN
tire of the White House
The commission is making especial ar
rangements to have the private quarters
for the President and his family as COM
Portable as could be desired Perhaps few
people realize into what small quarters the
Presidents household is crowded Almost
the whole OF the ground floor Of the White
House. except for the dining rooms, is
taken up by the public parlors. Upstairs
the household has only eight bedrooms and
a library There is not even a sitting room
in the place. and the President and his
family must sit il the hail upstairs when
they are not in their bedrooms.
1t was once proposed to use the White
House purely the business offices of the
President, and to have his official residence
on Washington Heights, on Sixteenth
Street That plan. however, never receiv-
ed tie support Of the persons who would
occupy the new and isolated residence.
President Harrison was particularly OPP
posed to it.
While Mr.. Harrison was President he
declared that the space in the White House
was so limited that the occupant was apt
TO experience such sensations and ineon-
venienees as a merchant who lived over his
shop.
Notwithstanding the numerous draw
backs and discomftures Of living in the
White House in It's present condition, +"
said Mr.. Harrison Il do not believe there

TRUSTS IN ALASKA.
Gage and AIger Said to he Interested

BINGHAMTON, n. Y, Get. 29-Repub-
li1an leaders not only in mis- county, but
throughout the Southern Tier, have been
shocked by the announcement that Benja-
min S. Miller will support Mr.. Bryan at
the coming elect IN, and told of two trusts
he had discovered On his trip to the KEon-
dixie, in one of which Secretary Gage is
interested and the other Secretary Alger
Mr.. Miller has been a lifelong Republic
can, running three different times on Re
publican State tickets. He is a wealthy
ranch owner, known as the author of
Ranchtng in the Southwest and spent
two years in Alaska and the Kioudike, rep
Tesenting syndicate purchasing claims
In an interview, he said The deter
mination to vote for Bryan came after
several weeks OF careful study
There are TWO trusts in existence about
which nothing has been said. which are
being protected by the Administration
They are the National American Trans
portation Company, % Chicago, and the
Alaska Commercial Company. that has its
headquarters in Kansas City.
These trusts are gigantic monopoIies
controlling the boats which convey supplies
to the miners in Alaska, controlling the
stores OF provisions, and charging enor-
nous prices for the simplest articles.
I'm their behalf soldiers are brought
thousands Of miles to escort their Ill
gotten gold to the coast. The presence of
soldiers is not necessary any more than
in a frontier town marshal can con-
troll the people as easily here as in the
southwest, but the sole duty of the SOL
diers is to guard the trusts gold
This is accounted for by the fact that
two of McKinley's Cabinet officers are in
terested in the trusts, ex-Secretary AIger
and Secretary Gage. While l was there
the son of Secretary Gage was present
representing his fathers interests in the
monopolies.
During my stay in the region three
different petitions of mammoth proper
tions were sent to Washington asking that
the trusts and their manner of extorting
gold for the necessaries of life, causing
unnecessary panics during the long win
tiers, be Investigated. Promises were
made that the matter would be looked in
to. but it was never brought to the atten-
ton Of the Administration. The petitions
were suppressed.
THE trusts hire the native Indians who
are naturally industrious race, rob
them, paying barely enough to keep soul
and body together. Knowing these things
of my personal knowledge, and knowing
that Bryan, if elected is too bright man
to make any of the foolish moves attrib-
uted to him, l will vote for Bryan and Ste
venson, knowing that if successful two
