We regret very much to an
nounce the death of Mrs Lizzie
Smith, which sad event occurred
while at the home of her mother,
Mrs. Rena Stewart. It has been
but ten short months since she
was united in marriage with Mr.,
julie Smith, She was but nine
teen years old at the time of her
death. She leaves a five-weeks- old
baby and husband. She will be
missed very much by her many
friends who deeply sympathize
with her bereaved husband.

There will be serious shortage

do not have rain pretty soon The
heat is burning them badly and
even now rain would help them
very little if any. Corn will be

little more into the east.

Major Otey's Tobacco Speech.

It's not often that the Congress
ional Record contains such unique
contribution to literature as the speech
Representative Otey, Of Virginia, de-
livered in the House on tobacco. Mr..
Otey represents the Lynchburg dis
trict, in the tobacco growing section
of his state, and his eulogy of the
weed ought to keep him in congress
for the remainder of his days. He
is the especial advocate of the bill to
to allow large ration of tobacco to
the soldiers in the army, and it was
advocacy of this measure that he
delivered his speech.
cit is a fact, asserted Mr.. Otey,
'sthat there is no solace in camp life
or on shipboard like the pipe, and
nothing slaves off hunger and thirst
like the chew of tobacco" All the
smokers and chewers in the House
applauded this assertion. He show
ed how. from its earliest discovery,
tobacco has been considered cura-
tive. He quoted an old practitioner
of ''phy sicke' who commended to-
| bacco in 1910, and recalled the words
of Hariot, who was one of Sir Walter
Raleigh's expedition in 1884, and who
said that tobacco was a notable pre-.
server of health. He quoted some
lines in praise of tobacco from Spen-
ser's "F@rie Queene," and was
especially applauded when he ctet
the case of a man who could no
breathe, and whose physician ''direct
ed him to take tobacco IN fume an(
little by little he recovered his form
er strength"
There was rapt attention in tn
! House as Mr.. Otey recited the chem
ical analysis of tobacco, with humor
J GUS comments on chloride of potas
sium, molic acid, SILICA, and ligneou
matter. The peroration Of the eulog
on tobacco is worth quoting: "Hi
patriotism, said Major Otey, referrin
to the soldier, 'sexpires only with hi
life; his soul is enraptured with ell
thusiasm, his memory is on the win
and runs back with lightning quick
ness to the battles fought and victorie
, won ;but he will recall that the ratio
of tobacco plucked from his mind
rooted sorrow, RACED out the write
troubles of his brain, and with thi
sweet oblivious antidotescleansed til
! bosom OF perilous stuff that weighe
upon his heart. ~ Washington Pos

On Saturday, the Both occurred
the regular meeting of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, and McCon-
vile post was we'll represented, and
the meeting was of more than
usual interest. Several visiting
comrades we're present After the
routine business was concluded,
Commander Drake ordered parade
rest, and while in this helpless con-
ditlon the ladies of the Relief Corps
made an attack on the post which
surrended without fireing shot, but
the brave women not content with so
simple a victory proceeded to further
humiliate the helpless veterans.
Round after round of coffe, cake,
Sandwiches, oranges, pickles and other
projectiles were fired until the ancient
warriors, grounded arms and called
for quarter; it was an unconditional
surrender Of Horse, foot and artil-
lery. only the flag was saved. The
roster of brave Amazons who cap
tured the Post, show the names of
Mesdames Drake, Wheelhouse, Will
son, Swauger, Barton, Parker, Kim

WASHINGTON NOT ADVISED.
Government Has No Information Re-
garding Frauds

1t was said at both the White
House and War department that alb
soluteiy nothing had been received
by the Government regarding the al
legged unearthing of crooked work on
the part of the army quartermasters
and others in Luzon and the arrest
of a number Of persons in and out
of the army, for stealing property
of the Government or receiving stolen
Government properly.
Gen. Corbn said, furthermore, that
the Government had no intimation of
any sort that such developments
might be expected. He was in
clined, for this reason, to think the
frauds against the Government could
hardly be 80 serious as reported,
though admitting that this opinion
was based wholly upon the lack of
advices from the islands. Capt.
Barrows, he said, was not the regu-
lar quartermaster for Southern Lu-
zon, aud must have been acting
quartermaster there at the time of
arrests.
The press dispatches state that the
great interest in the capture and fate
of Aguinaldo is well-nigh overshad-
owed in Manila by sensational devel-
opments, present and prospective, OF
frauds in the commissary depart
ment. How widely these extend has
not vet heen ascertained, but enough
is already known to justify the be-
lief that they are far-reaching.
NUMBER OF ARRESTS MADE.
Capt. Frederick j. Barrows OF the
Tmrtieth volunteer infantry, quarter
master Of the Department of Southern
Luzon, together with several com
missary sergeants, several civilian
clerks, prominent Government
contractor, the assistant manager o
the Hotel Oriente, the proprietor
of three of the largest bakeries il

and other persons have been ar
