NO BUGLE'S BLARE
To Send the Hot Blood Singing
Through Their Veins.

Washington, July 24.-The epidemic
of cholera has been particularly hard
on the medical corps of the army sta
toned in the Philippines and the cas-
ualty list received here shows that the
surgeons and the hospital corps have
borne their share of the suffering.
Surgeon General Forwood has received
copy of one of.the orders, in which the
casualties are announced, as follows:
1.-THE death of Private Joseph G..
Eiseman, hospital corpc. U. S. A, is
announced. Private Eiseman was de.
tailed to face death as cholera nurse
of his comrades. and died of the disease.
His example of devotion to duty is held
up for all men to emulate. Private
Leonard b. Stevenson, hospital corps,
u. s. A, was detailed to nurse both of
our comrades. with the knowledge that
his predecessor had been cut down
while performing the same duty. With
out murmur he responded and re-
manned till the sod covered his plague
stricken charges. and then he returned
to his routine duties.
"The men Of this command who have
faced death amid the whirl of bullets
and the excitement of fight can read
lily appreciate the courage required to
daily await its approach in the form OF
one of the most dreaded diseases known
to the world today, and the command
ing officer makes this an opportunity TO
publicly acknowledge this duty well
done. The highest aim of soldier is
! the goal Private Stevenson has reached"

CLAIMED BY JAPAN.
Marcus Island Now Looms Up as a
Bone of Contention.

Washington, July 25.-The Japanese
government has served notice on the
state department that it claims posses
sion of Marcus Island, toward which is
now heading an American expedition
under Captain Rosehill for the purpose
of exhausting its guano deposits. Re-
garding il as extremely desirable that
no collision occur, the state department
has taken measures to advise Captain
Rosehill that he must offer no resist
ance if he should fall in with a Japa-
nese warship which is also speeding for
the island.
Rosehill landed on this island about
13 years ago. He put up sign and
deposited bottle setting forth his
claims to the island, erected fiagpole
and hoisted the United States flag.
Then he sailed away from the island,
leaving it unoccupied, fact which
may vitiate his title. OF these facts he
informed the state department, but
he neglected for many years TO file in
the treasury department the bond re-
quired by the guano island laws. In
fact this bond was only filed within the
last wear. Meanwhile, finding de-
serted island, some japanese landed
and began to take away the guano.
There are believed to be two score of
them now on the island. and the Japa-
nese government holds that their title
is good. The japanese warship carries
the message from this government to
Rosehill ADVISING him TO offer no re-
sistance, and as it will probably reach
Marcus Island, distant only 1000 miles
from Yokohoma, before the Rosehill
schooner which sailed from Honolulu
1900 miles distant, il is believed that
there will be no clash between the
schooner passengers and the japanese
coolies now on the island

Some Rural Carrier Rules.

When a carrier on a rural free de-
livery route finds a farmers delivery
box stuffed full of circulars and adver-
Using matter, put there by travelling
agents, he has the United States be-
hind him in throwing out the stuff.
The government frankly admits its
inability to cope with the advertising
agents and prevent them putting their
stuff I'm the boxes, but empowers the
carrier to throw it out when it fills the
box or covers up the mail. Numerous
6rms seek to arrange with the carriers
to deliver advertising matter. This is
prohibited, and the advertisers must
pay the regular rate of postage and ad-
dress each parcel to the farmer if it is
to be handled by the carriers.

king Dodo" Seats Sell Rapidly.

Never in the history of the Grand
opera house has the demand for seats
been so urgent as at present. The re-
served seat sale for the production of
liking Dodo" opened Monday morn
ing, and in less than two hours nearly
every good seat i'm the house was
taken. An order for 100 seats from
West Union, from which place q
special train will be run, took many of
the best ones, aud before night there
was hardly seat to be had. Arrange
ments will be made, however, to &C
commodate a hundred more with
chairs in the aisles, so that those de-
string seats had better secure them
promptly. This is proof that DEBORAH
appreciates q good show and will give
it loyal patronage.

Anent Smallpox.

There is but little change in the
smallpox situation in DEBORAH. 1t is
true that there are at present sixteen
cases of the disease in DEBORAH and
West DEBORAH, but all except one, that
of w. HI. Pollitt in West DEBORAH, who
was taken down Sunday. are confined
to the three original places, and only
four of these are of the malignant
type, the others being merely vario-
loid, smallpox in mild form. 1t is
hoped that the situation is under con-
troll, and as the strictest quarantine is
kept and the utmost care taken, there
is seemingly little danger Of further
spread of the disease.
