ANDRES DIARY FOUND.
Interesting Record Has Been Discov.
cred by Lord Grey.

London, April 1.-The diary of Ma
Jor Andre, after lying hidden for a
hundred years, has been discovered in
England. This interesting find was
made by Lord Grey the other day
while going over lot of old family
papers that probably had not been dis
turbed since the conclusion of the
American war of independence.
Lord Grey's great-grandfather was a
commander of British troops in Amer
lea at that time, and Andre served on
his staff, which accounts for the diary
being in the possession of the present
peer. The diary is apparently the or
iginal but in order to make sure that
1t is not copy, Lord Grey is sending
over to the United States to secure
samples of Andres handwriting, none
of which can be obtained here.
The diary is story of the campaign,
day by day, during the years 1773-177S.
1t is simply but Interestingly told from
the soldiers standpoint, and is accom-
panied by maps. apparently drawn by
Andre himself and with a skill that
would make him the equal of any mill
tary photographer of today. The diary
ceases too early to throw new light
upon the tragic ending of his career,
but it gives interesting glimpses of the
personality of one of the historical fig.
ures of the revolution.

CIDER CURE FOR SMALLPOX.
Arizona Physicians Accidentally Dis
cover Remedy and Preventive.

Phoenix, Ari., March 29.-Arizona
physicians have found satisfactory re-
suits from the use of apple cider as a
preventive and a cure for smallpox.
Six weeks ago an attendant at the pest
house in Jerome discovered by acci-
dent that the use of pure apple cider
was helping his patients. one of them
having received quantity from the
east and distributed it among his fell
low sufferers. Drs. Wood and Kaull
made tests with cider on other pa
tients.
A pint each day in doses each hour
drove away the eruption in from five
to fifteen days and ten patients were
cured and discharged within month.
Other tests were made among the Mex
lean residents along the international
line, where there were many cases of
more virulent nature. In every in
stance where pure cider was used
cures were effected and fifty barrels
more of the apple juice have been or
dered from Illinois and New York to
carry experiments further into Mex
| leo.

COMPANY C IS THIRD.
Result of the Inspection Of Fiftieth
Regiment Announced.
REGIMENT is IN GOOD CONDITION

Ever Before = All Companies In

panies Not Inspected.

According to the returns of the in
spection of the Fiftieth regiment I. N.
G. Company &c" of this city stands
third in relative rank in the regiment.
This information was given out Satur-
day by Inspector General Olmstead,
after he had inspected all the compa-
MES in the regiment except "a" Of
Abba and sd" of Washington. Com
pany "a" is the new company which
has just been mustered into the SER
vice and will not be inspected until
during camp in the fall. The reasons
assigned for not inspecting Company
ID" was that large portion of it's
men lived in the country and could
not get into town upon the date set
for the inspection. Col. Olmstead
made careful inspection of the ar
mory and equipments and found them
in first class condition, so in order to
give the company all the show posi-
BILE he consented to postponement
of the company inspection. The re-
suit of the regiments inspection is
more than gratifying to the friends of
the regiment in this city, who felt that
it had been justly maligned when the
report of last years camp was pub
lished. At that inspection the regi-
ment stood third in rank in the state,
at this last one, the percentage of ev-
cry company has been increased
something like 10 per cent so it is
more than likely the other regiments
will have to improve much more in

The Milwaukee corps of surveyors
who have been surveying the new cut
off to be built from Ottumwa to Dav-
export, AID who recently started their
work at Rutledge, have now arrived
at Richland, and the citizens of that

at Richland.
From Washington the survey is from
southwest direction, missing Dublin,

air line which was practically built
from Washington over that way thir-
ty years ago, and went north of town
